Bummer,” Jane said. \n\n“So, you\'ve got any brothers or sisters?” the boy asked the red head.\n\n“I\'m an only child,” the girl replied quickly. (1)\n\nDaria said nothing but as they continued down the hall but Jane caught an ephemeral expression on her face that she could not quite read: was it anger, sadness, or resignation? Despite the stoic mask that swiftly took its place, she knew that it was not indifference no matter what Daria’s body language tried to say. \n\n“So any others at home I need to watch out for?” she asked. “Or did your parents wise up after her?”\n\nDaria kept her eyes resolutely forward. “They stopped procreating after her: Quinn’s her name by the way,” she responded after a few moments. “But I have a brother, Galahad.”\n\n“Galahad!” Jane laughed. “You’re kidding me.”\n\n“No,” Daria snorted. “Says a lot about my parents. At least I didn’t get tagged with Guinevere.”\n\n“Hey, I’ve got a sister named Penny Lane and a brother named Wind,” replied Jane. “Galahad isn’t that far out. So, how much older is he?” \n\n“He’s younger than me,” Daria told her.\n\n“Oh, no way,” Jane exclaimed. “Quinn can’t be much more than a year younger than you. Your mom couldn’t have squeezed out another puppy between you two.”\n\n“She’s sixteen months younger to be exact,” Daria replied.\n\n“Okay, sixteen months,” Jane said.  “Even with my remedial math skills I know nine and nine is eighteen and that’s assuming your mom figured out a way to get pregnant in the maternity ward.”\n\nDaria grimaced. “Now there’s an image I didn’t need conjured for me,” she replied.\n\nJane thought for a moment. “Yeah, that would be something for Sick, Sad World.”\n\n“You like that show?”\n\n“My favourite,” Jane said. \n\n“Mine, also,” Daria said.\n \n“Good,” Jane replied. “We can watch it after school but that doesn’t explain your brother. He can’t be younger than you and older than Quinn.”\n\n“Galahad is younger than me,” Daria reaffirmed. “Eleven minutes younger.”  \n\nComprehension broke over Jane like a wave. “A twin. Cool. Do you two look alike?”\n\n“No,” Daria replied shaking her head. “He looks like my father.”   \n\n“Cute?”\n\nDaria rolled her eyes. “No,” she replied abruptly but continued after a moment. “I guess he’s good-looking. My father is.”\n\n“So is he cute or not?” Jane asked.\n\n“Cute to me always implies more than a pinch of effeminacy,” Daria said. \n\n“So, a rugged, he-man type,” Jane said.\n\nAn exasperated breath escaped Daria. “No, not that either,” she replied.\n\n“Sauvé,” Jane suggested. “Debonair.” 	\n\nDaria held up a hand stopping the flow of adjectives. “For a teenager,” she began. “Galahad’s good looking in a traditional masculine manner. He’s also intelligent, a gentleman in the truest sense, surprisingly sophisticated, very talented, amazingly patient and unfailingly kind but will stomp the crap out of anyone I ask him to.” \n\n“Ooooh, sounds perfect,” Jane cooed. “When do I get to meet him?” \n\n“Graduation,” Daria replied peevishly. \n\n“Protective, aren’t we,” chuckled Jane. “Or is it me?”\n\n“It’s not you,” she sighed. \n\n“Then what?” asked Jane.\n\nDaria rubbed her temple. “I don’t need this,” she said wearily. “I have a headache and I have this stupid class.”\n\n“Then what?” Jane doggedly repeated. “I thought we were getting along.”\n\n“That’s just it, we are,” Daria replied.\n\nJane looked confused. “So what?” she asked. “Do you think I wouldn’t speak to you again if your brother didn’t fall all over me or something?”\n\n“It happened in Highland,” Daria said. “Although I was grateful for it in that particular instance.”\n\n“Hey, don’t worry about,” Jane jovially replied. “Guys are a dime a dozen. Friends are gold.”\n\n“I wouldn’t know,” Daria said sourly.\n\n“About guys or friends?” Jane asked. \n\n“Either,” Daria said pushing open the door to their self-esteem class.\n\n[i:2o0nx40z]Eighty-three minutes later[/i:2o0nx40z]\n\nThe pair stopped on the sidewalk before a large white with dark blue trim two-story house that had a covered porch, which ran the entire length of the front and an attached garage.  A battered maroon Ford pickup truck with Texas plates sat on the side of the driveway. The rear window sticker proclaimed the driver to be a fan of [i:2o0nx40z]Texas Republic University[/i:2o0nx40z]. A massive red oak tree that towered above even the rooftop grew from the center of the front lawn. Several squirrels were scampering in its branches while a couple of their comrades scurried about the lawn. \n\n“Home sweet home,” Daria intoned dully.\n\n“Looks nice,” Jane said.\n\n“Yeah, it is,” Daria agreed reluctantly. “At least, I have my own bedroom now.”\n\n“But,” Jane ventured after several moments of silence. \n\nDaria shook her head ruefully. “I was hoping Mom would have bought the other place she looked at. She told me that the previous owners had a mentally unstable relative whom they took care of so one of the bedrooms had padded walls and barred windows. For me, it would have been as if I was living in a metaphor. I’m certain that it would have inspired me.”\n\nJane laughed. “Worked for Richard Dadd.”\n\nDaria smiled slightly. “Except that I don’t entertain notions of patricide. Sororicide on the other hand…”\n\nJane smiled broadly. “You actually got the reference. Why couldn’t you have moved here ten years ago?”\n\n“Yeah, that way I could have missed Highland entirely,” Daria replied. She paused for a beat before continuing. “Would you like to come inside?”\n\nJane’s brow furrowed in thought. “Hmmmm,” she said. “Keep talking to the only interesting person I’ve met at Lawndale High since forever or go home and listen to my brother snore. Got anything that’ll tip the balance?”\n\n “We have milk and cookies,” Daria replied flippantly.\n\n “Milk and cookies after school,” Jane said. “I’ve heard about that but never actually seen it. Lay on, MacDuff.”\n\nA small smile formed on Daria’s lips. “Now it’s my turn to be impressed. Few people get that quote right. C’mon.”\n\nA blue Lexus pulled into the driveway as the girls turned. It screeched to a halt and a middle-aged man tried to jump out but the seatbelt he forgot to unclasp caught him. After a momentary struggle, he finally leaped from the car shaking a fist at the squirrels.\n\n“Get out of here you furry vermin,” he shouted. “I’ll invite a falconry club over here! I’ll get a bobcat; three of them!”\n\nThe squirrels eyed him curiously but only one bothered to run.  Daria glanced over at Jane. “Any way that I can convince you that he’s a passing Jehovah’s Witness handing out [i:2o0nx40z]Watchtowers[/i:2o0nx40z]?” she asked as they walked down the drive. \n\nJane chuckled. “Daria, you haven’t met my family yet.”\n\n“You’ve seen half of mine now,” she replied.\n\n“Hey kiddo,” her father called out brightly, his angry mood shifting instantly to a sunnier one when he spied his eldest daughter. “Who’s your friend?”\n\n“Jane, this is my father, Jacob,” Daria introduced. “Dad, this is Jane Lane. We have several classes together.”\n\n“Hey, that’s great,” Jake said happy to see Daria really making a friend and so soon after they moved to \nLawndale. “Pleased to meet you, Jane.”\n\n“Same here, Mr. Morgendorffer,” Jane replied. “Daria said that her father was handsome and I see that she wasn’t kidding.”\n\n“Thanks,” Jake beamed, both at the compliment and that his daughter spoke well of him.\n\n“What are you doing home early, Dad,” Daria asked.\n\n“Oh, I need to change,” he replied. “I’ve been invited to play a round at the Sedimentary Rock country club. It’s a good opportunity to network with some prospective clients.” \n\n“That’s great, Dad,” Daria replied halfheartedly. “Just remember to lose by one stroke.”\n\nJake winked at her. “Of course,” he said. “First thing they teach you in Marketing.”\n\n“Along with always pick up the bar tab and pay for the cab,” Daria added.\n\n“You’re half way to a MBA already,” her father joked. “Sorry I can’t stay. Gotta run.” \n“Pleased to meet you, Jane,” he repeated before jogging to the porch and bounding up the steps. \n\nDaria waited until the door closed behind him before speaking. “Daria said that her father was handsome and I see that she wasn’t kidding,” she mimicked derisively. “Who are you? Lolita?”\n\nJane laughed. “Your dad is a handsome man. You said so yourself.”\n\n“Yeah, but…” Daria began then shook her head.  \n\n“And he seems nice,” Jane added.\n\n“He is,” conceded Daria. “It’s just that…”\n\nJane laughed again. “Hey, honey and vinegar, ya know.” \n\n“I’ll stick with a fly swatter,” Daria replied as she followed her father inside with Jane at her heels.\n\nWhen they entered the house, Jane looked around in surprise. Considering that the Morgendorffers had moved to Lawndale only days earlier, Jane expected a jumble of packing boxes scattered about and furniture haphazardly arranged yet the parlor looked as if they lived there for months. The room was neat and homey in an understated conventionally bourgeois manner.  Lawn &amp; Garden magazine was not going to call asking for a photo spread but no one peeking through the window would feel compelled to drop a dime to the Health Department or Child Services either. \n\n“My bedroom’s down in the basement,” Daria said pointing toward a staircase.  \n\n“Hey, I was promised milk and cookies,” Jane protested. \n\n“I always try to keep my promises,” Daria said steering the taller girl toward an open archway. “Especially if they involve retribution or cookies.” \n\nThe large kitchen like the parlor gave away no clues that it had been empty scant days earlier. Several pots and pans hung above a permanent island. In a curtain framed eastward facing window, some troughs with what Jane correctly guessed to be cooking herbs growing in them sat on a wrought iron three-tiered shelf. The tiled counters were dotted with canisters, a spice rack, and small appliances.  \n\nDaria pointed to a cabinet. “Grab a couple of glasses please,” she said before opening a massive French door refrigerator. \n\n“There are just plates in here,” Jane said staring into cabinet.\n\nDaria gave an exasperated sigh. “Try the one to the left.”\n\n“Bingo,” Jane said. “Still learning where everything is, eh Daria.”\n\n“Yes, it’s irritating but still a small price to pay to get out of Highland,” she replied. “So how do you like your milk, chocolate, strawberry, or straight?”\n\n“Strawberry sounds good,” Jane said as she snagged two glasses. Milk in her house usually came in two flavors: fresh or sour. \n\nMoments later, milk mixed and the plate of cookies retrieved from beneath its domed screen cover, the girls sat down at the breakfast nook.\n\n“We have plain oatmeal, oatmeal with raisins, and oatmeal with frosting,” Daria said pointing to each kind in turn. \n\n“When faced with a choice,” Jane said picking up a frosted one. “Always choose the one with the most sugar.”\n\nShe swiftly took a bite. A couple of quick chomps gave way to slow chewing as a look of near rapture enveloped her countenance. “Where did you buy these?” she asked in a hushed near reverent voice.\n\n“My brother baked them,” Daria replied casually between bites. “They’re good.”\n\n“Good?” Jane exclaimed. “[i:2o0nx40z]My[/i:2o0nx40z] brother would actually work for them.”\n\n“They’re better than anything I ever got from a store,” Daria agreed. “But so is most freshly prepared food from a competent cook.” \n\n“Competency is one thing,” Jane replied around bites. “Artistry is another. Your brother actually baked these himself?”\n\nDaria shrugged slightly. “He does all of the cooking,” she said. “So far, none of us have landed in the emergency room with botulism or salmonella so I suppose he knows what he\'s doing.”  \n\nJane frowned as she grabbed another cookie. “Your brother does all of the cooking?” she asked. “Why?”\n\n“Because along about the fourth grade I figured out that if I was ever going to eat anything but frozen lasagna or take-out pizza again I’d have to learn how to cook,” a teen-aged boy said in a relaxed west Texas drawl as he entered the kitchen. &quot;Hey, Daria. Who\'s your friend?&quot;\n\n“Hi,Galahad, this is Jane,” Daria said. “Jane, my brother Galahad.”\n\n“Hello, Jane,” Galahad said formally as he briefly grasped her free hand. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”\n\n“Yeah, hi, same here,” a blushing Jane replied praying that she did not in reality sound as squeaky as she thought she did. Galahad did indeed look like his father and Daria was right, cute was not the word for him. Whatever awkward stage he might have went through was in the past, a young adult stood before her now. He was slightly more than average height. The brown tee shirt he wore did little to hide the muscular build draped on a stocky frame. Beyond the physique, an optimistic friendliness shone in a face governed by a pair of intelligent brown eyes and a heartfelt smile. \n\n“Mom’s working late, Quinn’s with her friends, and Dad’s joining some clients for a round of golf so it’s just going to be the two of us for supper, Daria,” Galahad said. “Unless Jane here will be staying?”\n\nDaria looked over at her friend, mischief twinkling in her eyes. The reaction of the other girl to Galahad had not escaped her notice. “Would you like to dine with us, Jane?” she asked archly.\n\n“Yeah, sure, that’ll be great,” Jane mumbled. “What are we having?”\n\n“Oh, just some stir fry,” Galahad replied ostensibly ignoring her discomposure. “Would you like beef or chicken?”\n\n“Uh, chicken,” she replied. \n\n“Great, chicken it shall be than,” Galahad said cheerfully. “I’ll serve it around seven.”\n\nWith a jaunty wave, he left the kitchen. Jane watched him every step until he disappeared around a corner. When she turned back to Daria, a small impish grin was dancing on the smaller girl’s face, the twinkle still in her eyes.\n\n“Are you going to keep that smirk?” Jane asked embarrassment turning her waspish. \n\n“Are you going to keep sounding like Minnie Mouse on helium around my brother?” asked Daria in return. \n\nJane tried to stare her down but failed. She buried her face in her hand. “Just shoot me,” she moaned.\n\nDaria relented. “Grab your milk,” she said benignly. “Sick, Sad World’s about to come on. We can hide in my bedroom until supper.”\n\n________________\n(1) opening dialogue from [i:2o0nx40z]Esteemster[/i:2o0nx40z] written by Glenn Eichler','a3c893a2b04ecf284bf4207907c06814',0,'YQ==','2o0nx40z',1,0,'',0,0,0),(459720,31884,3,305,0,'200.114.121.240',1297019551,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: I began to curse in english','[quote=&quot;Brother Grimace&quot;:3r65gwiz][quote=&quot;Quiverwing&quot;:3r65gwiz][quote=&quot;Charles RB&quot;:3r65gwiz]Do we just sound ruder?[/quote:3r65gwiz]\nNo. [i:3r65gwiz]Cooler[/i:3r65gwiz].[/quote:3r65gwiz]\n\nYeah, yeah, yeah.

There\'s a gas station and a place to eat. We have cell phones and a computer. I say we just live in the car, transfer to the University of Phoenix and finish our college educations online.

She continued, &quot;Besides, you forgot the daily rent on the car. We\'d need to pay that.&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh, simple, we just pimp Connie\'s ass at some truckstop. She\'s both cute AND sturdy. She could pull in a couple of hundred bucks a day, easy!&quot;\n\n&quot;Hey! The moment I get enough for a bus ticket back to Raft, I\'m outta here! Then whose ass you gonna pimp?&quot;\n\n&quot;The girl has a point. Thus are the best laid plans disrupted by one woman\'s unseemly self-interest. I suppose we\'d better gas this thing up and head out again. Hey, anyone wanna eat or get coffee first?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah, good idea. Jane, you and Connie grab a booth at the diner, I\'ll fill up and join you in a few. Get me a coffee, OK?&quot;\n\nShortly, Daria joined with her two friends in the diner. After a slug of coffee, she spoke to her companions.\n\n&quot;I was talking to the guy in the gas station, if we keep on this road, it meets up with a state highway that\'ll take us as far as Groton. We can get back on 95 there if the traffic looks good, or head upriver a few miles and cross over there.&quot;\n\n&quot;Sounds like a plan. It\'s got to be faster than 95 right now.&quot;\n\n&quot;That\'s exactly what he said.&quot;\n\nThe waitress showed up with more coffee and menus. The cheeseburger platter appealed to the three and was ordered by each.\n\n20 minutes later, with full stomachs, emptied bladders, and fortified with more coffee, the trip continued.\n\nAt Groton, they got back onto Route 95, the traffic having lessened somewhat, but moving briskly. A bathroom/legstretch/fresh air break at the site of the Great Snowball Massacre energized them with the realization that Boston and Somerville were only a few hours away.\n\nConnie was at the wheel again, with Daria in the front seat and Jane snoozing in the back.\n\n&quot;You doing OK?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah. I\'m over the scare. I do not handle Adrenaline at all well.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, you did good enough getting the car stopped and in the breakdown lane. You can be excused a little freakout afterwards.&quot;\n\n&quot;I suppose. As I was sitting there, after we stopped, it hit me that I might have killed us all.&quot; Daria\'s voice had dropped as she hugged herself.\n\nConnie, sensing a potential emotional breakdown, deadpanned, &quot;And even worse, we could have died in New Jersey, of all places.&quot;','042f4dbdcae632f9f71e4bdc5bd76756',0,'','2zlok0z2',1,0,'',0,0,0),(459738,31191,6,1129,0,'77.224.87.31',1297028522,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Genesis','Little update:\n\nYou\'ve probably noticed I haven\'t been exactly active around here these last few days. Right now I have a lot of stuff going on in my life and I barely have time for writing, posting or anything else other than eating and sleeping. I hope it will be over in a matter of days, but I can\'t be sure.\n\nAnyway, I haven\'t forgotten about this story. Here\'s a new chapter that I wrote a few days ago and that has just been corrected by the beta reader.\n\nHope that you enjoy it!!!\n\n\n-------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nThe woman parked her car in her usual spot. She walked determined to the door of the building, as she did every other day. She had been there every day for the last years, no exceptions. All the workers knew her and considered her another familiar face to greet each morning. They admired her perseverance, most of the other people who had family there would stop visiting eventually, but not her. She was there religiously each morning, same time, even though there never were any signs of improvement. It didn’t matter to her, she wouldn’t stop visiting. She entered through those doors, once again, like the morning before, and the morning before that. After all those years, there was something that hadn’t changed, she always looked at the same sign hanging above the main entrance of the building. She didn’t know exactly why, the words written on it wouldn’t change, just like they hadn’t changed in all those years, but she would always read that sign just before entering the building.\n\n“Cedars of Lawndale Hospital. Psychiatric Ward.”\n\nThe same faces would greet her as usual as she walked through those corridors. One of the nurses approached her.\n\n“Good morning Jane.” The nurse said casually.\n\n“Morning, Claire. How’s everything going?” \n\n“Same crap as always, so I can’t complain.” The nurse started to walk towards one of the corridors. “Come on, you know the way.”\n\nBoth women were talking about their everyday lives as they walked through the hospital. Jane wasn’t particularly interested about that woman’s life, or the fact that one of their kids wasn’t doing well at school and had failed math, but after all those years of seeing the same people each day, all the nurses had opened to her about their lives to some degree. They finally arrived at the door of a room.\n\n“Here we are.” Nurse Claire sentenced.\n\nThe sign above the door confirmed her words: “Patient: T. Lane”.\n\nJane didn’t bother asking if there was any sign of improvement in her brother’s condition. Despite the fact that the doctors were never able to figure out the reason behind Trent’s sudden mental breakdown, she knew the cause of it and that there was no cure for it.\n\nThe nurse opened that door and Jane entered that white room with padded walls. Even after all those years, being in that room still made her feel uneasy.\n\nInside it, a figure was sitting on a corner with a lost gaze. He didn’t react to the presence of his sister in the room, he just remained there, staring at the padded walls, barely blinking.\n\nFor a second, Jane remembered the chain of events that led her brother to that hospital. How suddenly one day he started to take better care of his physical appearance, how he stopped being so lazy and became more active and tidy. How he started to sleep less and less, his sudden obsession with doing everything better. How he progressively became more and more absent from the rest of the world and his eventual breakdown and attempted suicide. Two big scars, one in each wrist, were the reminder of that painful memory.\n\nJane could remember the first and last thing Trent said when he regained consciousness in the hospital.\n\n“How’s Daria?” \n\nThose were the last words that had come out of his mouth, four years ago. From that moment on, he became a living corpse. He didn’t talk, he would barely move, and he didn’t react to anything. The only thing he would do is to sit in that corner and look at the walls.\n\nJane entered the room where her brother was sitting and sat in a chair next to him. The nurse left, giving them a little privacy. The camera on the ceiling was enough to make sure nothing happened.\n\n“Hello Trent. It’s me, Janey.” She said softly.\n\nThere was nothing but silence coming from him.\n\n“The nurses told me you had lasagna to eat yesterday. I’m sure you loved it.”\n\nOnce again silence.\n\nJane spent the following hour talking to him, telling him about her job, what she had eaten the day before and other things regarding her daily routine. Even though it was like talking to a wall, she wouldn’t stop doing it every day. She always hoped to see some, no, any kind of reaction from him.\n\n“I’m sorry Trent, but that was everything for today. I have to go, I can’t afford to lose this job. See you tomorrow, same time, same place. Don’t go anywhere without me.” She said before leaving the room.\n\nShe politely said goodbye to the rest of the nurses and walked to the door of the building. She didn’t expect to see what she found outside.\n\nNext to her car stood the person responsible for Trent’s current condition, the woman who had destroyed his mind, Daria Morgendorffer, and behind her, her sister Quinn.\n\nWithout saying a word, Jane walked towards her.\n\n“Hello Jane.” Daria said softly when she was close enough.\n\nWithout saying a word, Jane threw a hard punch to her face that sent her glasses flying. The impact of Jane’s fist caused Daria to fall to the ground.\n\n“I told you this would happen if I ever saw you again.” Jane said coldly before getting inside the car and leaving.\n\nWith blood on her lips, Daria silently watched the car speed away.\n\n\n“She had the nerve to come to the hospital Trent’s in. How dare she appear like that? I don’t care what she’s up to, she has no right to talk to me.” Those were some of the kinder thoughts that crossed Jane’s mind.\n\nStill pissed about her former friend’s unexpected visit, she got to her day job. She earned her living doing page designs for comic books. It was a dull job and she deeply hated her boss. It wasn’t exactly what she would have expected years before, but it paid the hospital bills, so it was good enough for her.\n\nAs soon as she got through the door, a young woman approached her, visibly nervous.\n\n“Thank God you’re here Jane, the boss has been looking for you and he is pissed.”\n\n“What does he want now?” She asked without much worry.\n\n“He says you’re behind the schedule with the new number of ‘A.N.V.I.L.’ and it’s got to be ready by the end of the week.”\n\nJane sighed loudly.\n\n“Okay, tell him I’ll get on it right now.”\n\nShe walked to her work desk frustrated. She had been one of the best in the world at what she used to do but she had ended in a dead end job she hated. But &quot;Expert Dream Designer&quot; wasn\'t something she could put on her résumé.\n\nShe was immersed in her tedious work when a voice startled her.\n\n“Jane…” It was Mark, her boss.\n\n“I know. I’m behind the schedule, Sarah told me.” She said.\n\n“It’s not that.” He said seriously. “Someone wants to see you.”\n\nShe noticed his voice tone was different than usual.\n\n“Someone? Who is it?” She asked\n\n“The Mayor.”\n\n“The Mayor?” She said surprised\n\n“Yes, Jodie Landon, Office Mayor of Lawndale. She’s here and asked to see you. What the hell is this about?”\n\n“I have no idea. We went to the same High School, but we haven’t seen each other in years.” \n\n“Well, she’s waiting for you in my office. You better go there, I don’t want any problems with the authorities.”\n\nWhen Jane entered his boss’ office she indeed found Jodie Landon waiting for her.\n\n“Hi Jane.” She said with a smile.\n\n“Hello Jodie. My boss told me you were looking for me. What can I do for you?”\n\n“I’ve got a job offer for you.”\n\nAfter a couple of seconds in silence, everything made sense to Jane. The sudden visit of Daria after all those years, the appearance of Lawndale’s Mayor and also one of its wealthiest inhabitants. She could figure about that “job offer”.\n\n“You’re not dumb, and I’m sure you already know what this is about.” Jodie continued. “Daria told me your little confrontation before. Listen, I don’t care about the issues between you two, I need you to do this job for me.”\n\nJane didn’t say anything, she just turned around to leave.\n\n“How would you like to have Trent back at home?”\n\nThose words caused Jane to stop and turn around.\n\n“What?” She said.\n\n“Would you like to have him back home with you? With a team of nurses taking care of him 24 hours a day. You wouldn’t have to worry about paying for it, Landon Enterprises would take care of all the bills, including a monthly salary good enough for you to stay home with him. You wouldn’t have to work at a shithole like this.”\n\nJane was staring at the floor in silence. She hated the idea of going back to work with Daria in a shared dream, but that offer was too good to pass.\n\n“Think about it.” Jodie said as she gave her a card with an address. “I have to go now.”\n\nJodie rose from the chair she was sitting on and left the room. Jane sat on one of the chairs and remained silent, thinking about the offer she had received. After a few minutes, Jane’s boss peaked through the door.\n\n“Is she gone?” He said.\n\nWhen he saw nobody was there besides Jane, he got inside.\n\n“Well? What did she want?” He asked.\n\nJane closed her eyes, sighed and rose from the chair she was sitting on.\n\n“Fuck you, Mark. I quit.”','d8cc332d5960b063aa12f66db5aa89c3',0,'','1emazq3f',1,0,'',0,0,0),(459739,31361,5,785,0,'200.68.67.193',1297028992,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: I started the HP books','[quote=&quot;Dervish&quot;:1thwuv9v]But anyway I just read the chapter on Snape\'s memories of being a student at Hogwarts.

When she turned back to Daria, a small impish grin was dancing on the smaller girl’s face, the twinkle still in her eyes.\n\n“Are you going to keep that smirk?” Jane asked embarrassment turning her waspish. \n\n“Are you going to keep sounding like Minnie Mouse on helium around my brother?” asked Daria in return. \n\nJane tried to stare her down but failed.

Someone knocks. A few seconds pass and they knock harder. Trent walks up and opens the door. Quinn is standing on the porch holding Aiden and looking slightly irritated. Trent looks at her for a moment, then turns.)\n\nTRENT: I’ll go call Summer.\n\nQUINN: Summer? Who’s Summer? I’m here for Daria.\n\nTRENT (confused): Daria?\n\nQUINN: Yes, Daria. I’m her sister Quinn, remember?\n\nTRENT: Oh, yeah.  Daria just went to put gas in the car. She’ll be back in a minute.\n\nQUINN: Great. (bites her lip) Umm is Jane around? I kinda need to use the bathroom. But I need someone to watch Aiden while I do.\n\nTRENT: Janey went with Daria. But I could hold him. My sister’s got four kids.\n\n(Quinn appears to debate for a moment, then sighs, handing over Aiden and his diaper bag.)\n\nQUINN: Thanks. (glances down and sees a small stain on her shirt) Damn, is there a washcloth in there I could use.\n\nTRENT (nodding): In the closet, second shelf.\n\nQUINN: Thanks again, I’ll try to be quick.\n\n(She hurries off toward the bathroom and Trent moves to the couch, tossing the diaper bag on the floor beside it. He sits down, leaning back against the arm of the couch and sitting Aiden on his lap.)\n\nTRENT: So what’s up little dude?\n\n(A few minutes later, Daria and Jane walk in the front door. They both raise their eyebrows in surprise when they see Trent on the couch with Aiden on his chest. Both are snoring softly.)\n\nJANE: I hope he called Summer before he fell asleep.\n\nDARIA (rolling her eyes): That’s not one of Summer’s kids, that’s my nephew Aiden.\n\nQUINN (walking up behind them): Who is Summer, and why does everyone want to call her?\n\nDARIA: Long story, I’ll explain later. I thought Jamie was playing Super Dad today?\n\nQUINN (exasperated): He is, but Aiden wouldn’t go down for his nap, and he threw a fit when I tried to leave. I thought the walk over here would put him to sleep so we could drop him off on our way to the mall. But he’s still wide awake.\n\nDARIA: Think again.\n\nQUINN (confused): What do you mean? (glances over at the couch) How did he do that?\n\nJANE (shrugging): Sleep is Trent’s specialty.\n\nQUINN: Well he is a life saver! C’mon Daria, let’s get him loaded up and home before he wakes up.\n\n(As Daria is picking up Aiden, Trent stirs. He blinks at her a few times, then smiles sleepily. Daria blinks as she finds an unopened icepop clenched in Aiden’s fist.)\n\nDARIA: What’s he doing with that?\n\nTRENT:  Teeth were hurting I think. We had some in the freezer, thought it might help. Always worked with Summer’s kids.\n\nDARIA: Thanks Trent.\n\nTRENT: No problem Daria. He’s a cool kid.\n\n(The girls smirk as Quinn and Daria head toward the door. Jane closes it behind them and raises an eyebrow at her brother.)\n\nJANE: When did you learn so much about kids?\n\nTRENT (shrugging): Between Summer and Nick, I get a bit of time in playing jungle gym.\n\nJANE: Or pillow.\n\nTRENT (grinning): Whatever.\n\n(Cut to Daria’s car. She and Quinn are on their way to the mall after dropping off Aiden. Quinn is busy making a list.)\n\nQUINN: Let’s see. We’ll need a few skirts, and some dress slacks. A few nice blouses, it’s too early for the sweaters to be out. We’ll have to make another trip when you come home for Thanksgiving. Oh and shoes, definitely need to get some new shoes. Now let’s talk underwear.\n\n(Close-up of Daria’s face with a “what have I gotten myself into?” expression. She’s suddenly jerked to the side and we see that she is now in the mall, being dragged along by Quinn.)\n\nQUINN: Come on Daria! I don’t know how long Jamie can handle the kids.\n\n(She drags Daria into a store and begins pulling clothes off the racks. She stacks them on Daria’s arms as she goes.)\n\nQUINN: This is nice… That color would look good on you… Ew, definitely not… Hmm, you might be able to pull this off…. Ooh, this is perfect for you.\n\nDARIA: Quinn, I’m trying to get a few things to beef up my wardrobe, not start a fashion show.\n\nQUINN: Oh Daria, having the perfect outfit for every occasion will come in handy. Now let’s go try these on so we can figure out what to focus on.\n\n(Begin a montage of Daria modeling different outfits. We see her in a green dress that fits too loosely, then a black skirt and purple tank top that fits too tight, Quinn shakes her head at both, then nods at a sleeveless black dress. Each outfit that is tried on gets tossed into one of three piles. Each pile grows as Quinn nods and shakes her head.)\n\n(We see Quinn dragging a tired looking Daria and several shopping bags out of the clothing store and into a shoe store. Quinn picks up a pair of strappy heels and holds them up. Daria frowns, shaking her head. Daria picks up a pair of combat boots and Quinn shakes her head, looking disgusted. Quinn grabs a pair of boots with a small heel and Daria glances at them thoughtfully. Then we see Quinn dragging Daria out of the shoe store with only a couple of bags.)\n\n(Cut to Quinn dragging Daria into a lingerie store, then Daria stomping back out. Quinn emerges and drags her back to a woman with a measuring tape. As the woman leads Daria into a fitting room, Quinn begins searching through the racks.)\n\n(A little while later we see the girls at a table in the food court. Daria eats pizza, while Quinn picks at a salad and checks over her list. The pile of bags around them has grown significantly. Quinn beams at her sister as she speaks and Daria’s face pales.)\n\n(Cut to the outside of a cosmetics store, Quinn is dragging a terrified looking Daria inside. A little while later, we see Daria bent over a sink, scrubbing her face with paper towels while Quinn rolls her eyes. End Montage.)\n\n(Cut to Daria’s car again. It’s now dark outside. Quinn looks very satisfied and Daria looks exhausted as they head home.)\n\nQUINN: I can’t wait to show Mom those new walking shoes I bought tomorrow.\n\nDARIA (glancing over): I don’t know how you tolerate living just a few blocks away from them.\n\nQUINN (shrugging): It’s not that bad really. We walk over every night. Dad and Jamie play with the kids until they drop while Mom and I talk. By the time we get home, the kids are a breeze to get to sleep. And every Sunday, all six of us take a walk together. Honestly, when we’re not under the same roof, at each other’s throats all the time, it’s not that hard to get along with Mom and Dad.\n\nDARIA: I guess I can see that. You and I get along fairly well these days. I remember a time when we could’ve killed each other.\n\n(They share a smirk.)\n\nQUINN: All part of growing up I guess. (Bt) Are you gonna need help getting this stuff into Jane’s?\n\nDARIA: Nah, if I do, I’m sure I can get Jane to help. I’d better get you back before there’s a munchkin mutiny.\n\nQUINN (chuckling): They couldn’t possibly do anything worse than we did to our sitters.\n\n(The girls share a smirk)\n\nQUINN (smiling softly): Jamie’s really good with them though. I was worried when I got pregnant with Lindsay. (frowning) We were both freshmen at Pepperhill and didn’t have a dime to our names. Deciding to drop out was probably one of the toughest decisions I’ve ever made…. I was so scared.\n\n(There’s a moment of silence as Quinn stares down at her lap.)\n\nQUINN: Then Daddy offered that job to Jamie, and I thought things were looking up. But he didn’t want to take it.\n\nDARIA: Why not?\n\nQUINN (smiling softly): He wanted to prove he could take care of me on his own. Didn’t want anything handed to him. (rolling her eyes) He wanted to get a job based on his skills, not who he’d gotten pregnant. Then one night, Daddy was talking about trying to get some new clients at dinner, and Jamie asked why he didn’t set up a website of some sort. When Daddy told him he didn’t know how, I thought Jamie would fall out of his chair. (chucking) Daddy asked if he knew how, and begged him to join the company.\n\nDARIA: I’m really happy you guys were able to make it work.\n\nQUINN (glancing at her nervously): You don’t think I made a huge mistake by getting knocked up and dropping out?\n\n(Daria pauses to think for a moment while Quinn bites her lip nervously.)\n\nDARIA: I think that it all depends on how you look at things. Not everyone has to stick to the mold that society tries to shove us in, some people are born with different destinies. You guys are making the best of what life has given you. And doing a damn good job of it. Besides, I wouldn’t trade Lindsay or Aiden for anything in the world.\n\nQUINN (smiling, tearfully): You have no idea how much that means to me. Thank you.\n\nDARIA (shrugging): Don’t mention it. \n\n(There’s a few moments of awkward silence before Daria reaches for the radio.)\n\nDARIA: Should be about time for Trent to come on.\n\nQUINN: He’s a DJ?\n\nDARIA: Yep, on 98.5.\n\nQUINN: Cool.\n\n(Daria sits back as we hear Trent’s voice)\n\nTRENT (VO): That was The Gin Blossoms with “Hey Jealousy” And now here’s The Wallflowers with “One Headlight”\n\n(Quinn turns the stereo up a little and sits back as they head home.)','2651de933191996ced8818d07b0c7c8a',0,'','1sy9pvx2',1,0,'',0,0,0),(459769,31873,6,1107,0,'141.154.250.137',1297040595,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Life As We View It','[quote=&quot;GingerLove84&quot;:3q6z7km0][SCENE 5]\n(Cut to Quinn dragging Daria into a lingerie store, then Daria stomping back out.

Nineteen Eighty-two and her birthday is in a couple of weeks, that makes her, um, twenty-seven.&quot;\n\n&quot;It sounds like she\'s probably somewhat established.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah.&quot;\n\nThe saleslady then started to guide Jake around the story, putting away the random assortment of items.  After about ten minutes the cart was empty and they were at the toy department.  The saleslady picked up a purple and white teddy bear and placed it in the cart.  &quot;Since they probably can\'t tell yet if it\'s a boy or a girl, why don\'t we get something that can go either way?  You can never go wrong with a good quality teddy bear.&quot;\n\n&quot;Ah, that\'s so cute,&quot; Jake said, smitten with the stuffed animal.\n\n&quot;Follow me, sir,&quot; she said, directly him to a register.  &quot;I can ring you up right here.  Do you have a frequent shopper card?&quot;\n\nJake pulled his keys from his pocket and fanned a cluster of frequent shopper tags.  &quot;I know it\'s in here somewhere.&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'ll find it,&quot; she said, taking the keys, locating the proper one and scanning it.  After ringing up the sale and running Jake\'s card, she said, &quot;Thank you for shopping at S-Mart.&quot;\n\n&quot;Thank you!&quot;  Jake said.  &quot;I\'ll be back!&quot;\n\nAfter Jake left, a younger sales associate came over to the woman and said, &quot;Wow, that was some customer.&quot;\n\nShe chuckled.  &quot;It\'s just Mr. Morgendorffer.  If you spend the time to calm him down, you always make a good sale.&quot;\n\n&quot;That\'s Mr. Morgendorffer?&quot; the younger man said.\n\nShe nodded.  &quot;In the flesh.&quot;\n\n&quot;From the staff memos, I always expected him to look more…like a mad dog.&quot;\n\n\n\n\nThough Quinn had lived in her old room for four years in high school, the room now had little resemblance to those days.  The old explosion of pink was gone, replaced with a modern mix of earth tones and her mother\'s home office took up one side of the room.  Still, Quinn was able to relax as she lay back on the bed to talk on her cell phone, telling her old roommate, &quot;Fran, there was as much fireworks as I expected, but their excitement has overtaken the shock.&quot;\n\nPreparing a smoothie in the kitchen of her San Francisco apartment, Fran Lawrence said, &quot;Then things were successful.&quot;\n\n&quot;Though my dad hasn\'t gotten back from the store.  Mom said that she thinks he has the platinum card in his wallet.&quot;\n\n&quot;So you get a few supplies early.&quot;\n\n&quot;This is my dad we\'re talking about.  The man defines clueless when it comes to shopping.&quot;\n\n&quot;But he used to do marketing consulting.&quot;\n\n&quot;I never figured that out, Fran.&quot;\n\nFran laughed.  &quot;The girl that used to figure out what made every guy tick can\'t figure out her father?&quot;\n\n&quot;I know, go figure,&quot; Quinn said.\n\n&quot;I promise not to tell the rest of the Tri-Thetas.&quot;\n\n&quot;It\'s a good thing the five-year reunion was last summer.&quot;\n\n&quot;But your ten-year high school reunion will be this summer.&quot;\n\n&quot;I know,&quot; Quinn said.  &quot;And I\'m going to show them how to look good while pregnant.&quot;\n\n&quot;That, I know you can do.&quot;\n\nTeasing, Quinn said, &quot;So, how long until you…?&quot;\n\nFran said, &quot;Trey and I haven\'t even been married for year.  Give us a little time to settle into all this.&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh, I guess you\'re allowed.

Book 6 spoilers: [spoiler:1xqr5ns4]Also, considering the spell James used at that moment was one of Snape&#39;s inventions &#40;how do you invent a spell anyway?&#41; I would say that he had been a victim of it in the past, learned it and used it against Snape, but that&#39;s speculation on my part.[/spoiler:1xqr5ns4][/quote:1xqr5ns4]\n\n\nOh, yes, it does. Lupin himself points out (during a Floo Network chat in OOTP) that Lily didn\'t start dating James until he\'d pulled his head out of his ass and stopped being such a bully;  Sirius says (in the beginning of the book) that he and James were in detention far too much to become prefects, that Lupin was the good boy, and Lupin adds that Dumbledore made him a prefect in the failed hope that he\'d be able to contain James and Sirius\' escapades...\n\nAlso, McGonagall points out (in PoA) that in all her time at Hogwarts, they\'d never had such a pair of troublemakers (where Hagrid points out that the Wesaley twins could have given the Marauders a run for their money). This is especially important when you consider that we KNOW that while the twins are REALLY OVER-THE-TOP in terms of the pranks that they play, they have never been mean-spirited about it. (Not even in the case of Dudley and the Ton-Tongue Toffee they slip to him; they only do it because they know their dad will sort him out, and they\'re never mean about it. Imagine what they could have been doing to Draco if that were the case; they\'re equal-opportunity prankers, whereas the Marauders were the Cool Kids clique that delighted in picking on \'wounded birds\' (the stated reason why Lily didn\'t date James until Seventh Year). That really had to hurt Snape, when it became obvious to him that Lily was hot for James - the guy who made his life miserable on so many levels - and ignored the fact that Snape loved her as well...\n\nHere\'s the thing that most people don\'t consider about why Snape acts as he does towards not only Harry, but towards Draco, as well:\n\n- He sees himself in Draco and the Marauders in Harry and his friends - and he\'s giving Draco the protection and assistance [b:1xqr5ns4]that no one in authority at Hogwarts [u:1xqr5ns4]ever[/u:1xqr5ns4] gave to him.[/b:1xqr5ns4] (This is especially important when you consider that despite the absolute skill he shows in creating his own spells and in making/improving upon potions, Snape was overlooked by his own Head of House - Professor Slughorn - for the Slug Club while he accepted Lily instead). \n\n- The way that Snape acted in PoA is totally understandable when you realize that Snape had always been in love with Lily, and [u:1xqr5ns4]never knew[/u:1xqr5ns4] that Wormtail, NOT Sirius, was the Potter\'s Secret-Keeper... and the one responsible for leading Voldemort directly to Lily. Even with his own complicity in Lily\'s death, he DID get Voldemort to agree to kill only James and to spare Lily (and if you ever need proof that Snape was in fact First amongst the Death Eaters, there it is), if Wormtail hadn\'t spilled the beans, Voldemort would have never have found the Potters - and Snape wanted Sirius to suffer a fate worse than death for that. (It also explains the scene in the film where Snaps tells Sirius that he\'ll watch the Dementors take him...)\n\nIt also explains why Snape began hanging out with the kids who would eventually become Death Eaters: as anybody out in the street knows, if you want protection from somebody who\'s in a gang, you gotta join a gang of your own - and until Snape hooked up with them, he was constantly bullied by the Marauders, and the average kid there was okay with that. No one cared that Snape was being bullied by the Marauders - and that was [b:1xqr5ns4]specifically[/b:1xqr5ns4] pointed out in OOTP.\n\nGranted, this doesn\'t excuse the crappy things that Snape did - but it does help understand why he did them. It also explains one other thing; [i:1xqr5ns4]that Lily Potter was nowhere near as strong in spirit as Dumbledore made her out to be.[/i:1xqr5ns4] If she were,[i:1xqr5ns4] the history of the Wizarding World would have been [u:1xqr5ns4]radically different[/u:1xqr5ns4].[/i:1xqr5ns4]\n\nJohn Bender from [i:1xqr5ns4]The Breakfast Club[/i:1xqr5ns4] says it best:\n\n\n[quote:1xqr5ns4]John Bender: YOU ARE A BITCH.\nClaire Standish: Why? \'Cause I\'m telling the truth, that makes me a bitch?\nJohn Bender: NO.

They were best friends, and do not tell me that she didn\'t know that the boy was in love with her, no one is that blind - and she cast him (the troubled, talented and creative outsider) she\'d known for most of her life aside for the cute, talented jock jerk/bully... once he started acting a little less like an ass. Lily broke the man\'s heart... and if James was such a good person (or Lupin, for that matter), why didn\'t once - just once (and this would have been in the book if it had happened) he try to approach Snape and try to make amends with him, simply because it would have been an attempt for Lily to keep her oldest, closest friend (as Aunt Petunia pointed out)?\n\nAgain - not playing the apologist for Snape; just pointing out that others were equally responsible for the person that he became.','86a3dc674744e338c34fe7de548bf1e3',0,'4QI=','1xqr5ns4',1,0,'',0,0,0),(459780,31438,6,1017,0,'69.137.142.34',1297043433,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Spirit of the Game, Nature of the Beast (Part 20)','[i:2zti1g4m](Part 20)[/i:2zti1g4m]\n\n“It’s gotten quiet.” Lance noted as, from his hidden position with the Twins, he noticed guests starting to leave. Slowly, a trickle at first, but then many cars started to leave. Soon, the only cars that were left in the lot were Nadine’s. Surely, any car belonging to the Walker’s would be in their garage. Or showroom, however these rich folks did it. \n	\n“Hmmm...so part one is complete.” Debbie, wit h a large smile on her face, watched the lights begin to turn out. \n	\n“They’ll be waiting for a ride that isn’t coming.” Diane returned. “Not before we’ve had our fun. We just need to wait until everyone’s asleep. Elsie knows where the safe is, or at least some of the things these fools value. We’ll do the rest.”\n	\n“You crack safes?” Lance asked.\n	\n“And you sleep with anything that moves. What’s the difference?” \n	\n“What’s the sentence for safecracking?” \n	\n“Smart mouth, I like you.” Diane smiled. “Anyway, I see the signal. Looks like it’s time to get to work.” Stealthily, Diane and then Debbie made their way towards the house.\n	\nSighing, Lance followed them. Once they reached the door, it furtively opened, and Elsie quickly popped out and ushered the three inside. \n	\n“Took them long enough to empty the place. I thought I’d have to light it on fire.” Elsie scowled. “Alright, there’s a few gifts Christine received today that would be worth stealing and planting in Bianca’s stuff. Thankfully, I get to stay the night since my ride never showed up. Diane, you’re going to sneak into Christine’s room and raid her vanity. Debbie, I saw Christine put a pair of diamond earrings into a safe in the upstairs study. Lance, you’ll act as her lookout.”\n	\n“Wow, you’ve got this all pretty planned out.” Lance shrugged. \n	\n“Ill-preparation is how this game is lost. Now I’d best make myself noticeable.” After giving some directions to Debbie on where to go, Elsie quickly disappeared.\n	\n“Well, Diane, the same wager applies?” Debbie cracked a smile. “Even with the partner, I’m still going to win.” \n	\n“Let’s concentrate on the job.” Diane shrugged, and began to creep away into the darkened hallway.\n	\n“Just follow me, and stay quiet, boy. If you show me a good job on what I do, maybe I’ll be curious enough to see what makes Elsie use you.” Debbie enticed, and began to lead Lance to commit his mischief. \n\n	\nBianca knew something was going to be up tonight, and so, she resolved to not sleep. With all the partying she did, she had it down to a science. She was all but assured of it when Elsie’s ride, who was also to take Nadine and Bianca home, didn’t show up.\n	\nElsie was in full-blown apology mode, of course, and Christine was more than willing to “help out a girl in need” and let the three stay the night.\n	\n“It’s so nice to use the guest rooms. The sheets are Egyptian linens, seven-hundred threads.” Even her bedding was pretentious, but Bianca knew better to keep that to herself. \n	\nNadine decided to turn in early, which was good. Best to have her safely away, with no alibi, so that Bianca could frame her with anything she wanted. But Elsie would be much more careful than that. The second she did whatever was planned happened, Elsie would be certain to be visible, have nothing that could trace back to her. That would be hard to do in a house with everyone going to sleep, so Bianca would run her own interference. Once Elsie came back from whereever she was, Bianca made a quick move.\n	\n“Elsie, may I speak to you for a moment?” Bianca put on her best smile.\n	\n“Well of course, what is it?” Elsie asked. The two were alone, Elsie could easily lie about an alibi if Bianca used her for it. That’s what Elsie would think, and that was where Bianca would strike: Right where she wouldn’t expect it. \n	\n“Actually, I wanted to talk to you for a while now. About...your brother.” \n	\n“Tom?” Elsie was confused. “You want to talk about Tom?’\n	\n“Yes, actually. I’ve spent some time with him, as you know.”\n	\n“Of course.” Elsie replied. “It’s the talk of Fielding. At least, that’s what a few of male friends tell me.”\n	\n“Cleaned up of course.” Bianca laughed. \n	\n“But I’m not the person to talk too about Tom. He and I are very different.” Elsie so very politely said she didn’t think much of her brother. \n	\n“But I do need to talk to someone, a girl. About, well, all of this. I think he’s a very sweet boy, bit of a dork, but charming.”\n	\n“Well, I’ve never thought of dating my own brother, so you’re probably on your own for observations.” Elsie snarked, and Bianca laughed. Bianca continued to pose questions, allowing Elsie to answer but never gave her a chance to excuse herself. Elsie acted very cool under pressure, never showing her nervousness. She truly was very good at this game.\n	\n“I must use the facilities a moment, please excuse me.” Bianca finally allowed her chance after a few hours to let Elsie leave, and she excused herself. Bianca too, had to move quickly, and made her way back to the guest room that she and Nadine were sharing. \n	\nNothing seemed out of place, and Nadine was out like a light. Not even a freight train could wake her, so Bianca turned on the light and moved into the room. There was nothing out of place that she could see at first, but when Bianca’s eyes settled on the jacket she had brought, that’s when she became suspicious. Staying here at the Walker’s wasn’t planned on, so Bianca had no luggage or anything. The only thing that could be linked to her was her clothes. And her jacket was the only thing that Bianca owned she wasn’t still wearing. \n	\nShe picked it up, and as she did, she heard a slight rustle in the pocket. Bianca didn’t put anything in her jacket pockets: She too often left things there and forgot about them. As she checked it, though, they weren’t empty. There was something metallic in her pockets, and as Bianca pulled it out carefully, she was astounded to find several bits of jewelry. Rings, a necklace. But Bianca noticed most clearly the studs. Two brilliant diamonds stared back at her like glowing eyes. \n	\nBianca knew this jewelry, they were some of the presents Christine received today. Christine had put these earrings specifically in a safe. \n	\nSo that was Elsie’s plan, try and make her a robber? It wasn’t too bad, provided the culprit was caught quickly and everything missing was found. That way, the police would not get involved, and do whatever it was the police did, to find a fake. \n	\nBianca knew she had to move quickly. She stashed most of the jewelry with Nadine’s clothes. But she saved the earrings, she had a special plan for that one. A very subversive plan. \n	\nBianca stepped outside, onto the guest room’s balcony. Just below her was another guest room, the one Elsie was using. Carefully, Bianca stepped onto the ledge and dropped down to Elsie’s room, where the earrings quickly found a place with her things. \n	\nNow completely innocent, Bianca made her way towards the bathroom. She’d have to talk to Elsie all night now, to pull this plan off. But once that was done, the hard part would be over.','10a9a28d611b379c7575c639004c83a6',0,'IA==','2zti1g4m',1,0,'',0,0,0),(459781,31888,3,114,0,'136.153.2.2',1297044122,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Going Dark for a while...','Good luck, Erin.

It is inappropriate to place any higher level of skepticism on this research than on that from any other funding source unless you have reason to suspect something is amiss.\n\n[quote:13ajopvk]Privately-funded research has a respectable place, but where the outcome of that research is of demonstrable benefit to its funders it needs to be rigorously independently scrutinised, and that means that you need the capability for that rigorous independent scrutiny.\n\nI suspect that, where research is demonstrably counter to the funders\' interests we probably don\'t hear about it. That, too, is a serious problem.[/quote:13ajopvk]\n\nThat\'s where the whole Scientific Method part comes in, where the methods are published and other laboratories can examine and replicate the findings.  After all, how do you think that science misconduct is most commonly discovered? \n\nThere is an issue with the &quot;file drawer&quot; effect, but again, that occurs more rarely than you would imagine based on press accounts.  For most negative results, industry wants the accurate information so that they don\'t spend further money on an idea that is not working.  These rarely get published because they are of little outside interest.  The most omission misconduct occurs when problems are found later in the development process.

Of all the people he knew, of all the dangers and problems they faced, and despite the things that Snape did to him personally, Harry found reason (and both the honesty and the strength of self) to not only forgive the man, but to honor him by naming his son after him. (The Weasleys also must have felt the same, because Ginny Weasley, the boy\'s mother, agreed with the decision.) \n\nJ.K.

(satisfied smirk) Damn, where did you learn to dress like that?\n\nDARIA (small, embarrassed smile): Hey, you’re not the only one who’s developed a social life. Just because mine’s a bit calmer doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. (shrug) I guess college has helped me loosen up a bit. And with the ridiculous amount of money Quinn made me spend on this crap, I should get some use out of it.\n\nJANE: Hmm, well we’ll discuss how loose you are later. (smirk) Right now, we’ve got a party to start. The guys are probably done loading the Tank by now. Ready to knock their socks off? (she grabs Daria’s arm and leads her out of the room.)\n\n(Cut to the Lane living room. The band is lounging around, waiting on the girls. They all turn as Jane and Daria come down the stairs.)\n\n TRENT: Woah….\n\n(All of the guys just stare at the girls for a second.)\n\nJESSE (grinning at Jane): Cool\n\n(Cut to the inside of The Zon. The group walks in, carrying the bands gear. Several heads turn. Trent looks at the girls and frowns.)\n\nTRENT: Maybe you girls had better sit close to the stage tonight. (glares at a couple of guys who are openly gawking. Jane just chuckles)\n\nJANE: Fear not brother of mine! Daria and I can take care of ourselves. We’re big girls now, remember? \n\n(Trent just frowns at her, after a few seconds she sighs)\n\nJANE: If we have any problems, I promise we’ll grab Jay.\n\n(She tilts her head towards an intimidating bouncer. Trent appears to debate for a moment, then nods.)\n\nTRENT: Alright, but I’m still gonna keep an eye on you… Stay together.\n\n(The guys head toward the stage, and the girls to the bar. Daria gets the bartender to bring over a tall glass and set it on the bar in front of her.)\n\nDARIA (touching the glass about halfway up): Tequila. None of that bar rail crap either. Jose all the way. (she touches the glass just below the top) Mountain Dew, and just a splash of orange juice.\n\nJANE: What the hell is that? (raises an eyebrow)\n\nDARIA: Voodoo. Wanna try a sip? (She pays for her drink and offers it to Jane. Jane takes a sip and looks thoughtful for a moment.)\n\nJANE: Hmm, not bad. (to the bartender) I think I’ll have the same.\n\nDARIA: Have him put a splash of cranberry juice in it, makes it taste like a Sweet tart. (takes a sip and smirks at the bartender.) Mmmm, keep making these like that and I promise your tip jar will be quite full tonight.\n\n(Drinks in hand, the girls move to a table near the back, but in clear view of the stage. They settle down just as Trent steps up to the mic.)\n\nTRENT: We’re Mystik Spiral, but we’re thinking of changing the name.\n\n(The girls share a knowing smirk.)\n\nTRENT:  Tonight is a very special night. It’s Jesse’s birthday! (grins at Jesse) Happy Birthday, man!\n\n(The band launches into “Frickin Friends”. Daria and Jane clink their glasses together in cheers, then each take a big swig)\n\nJANE: Here’s to hoping our ears don’t start bleeding.\n\n(Cut to the end of the band’s set. There’s a bit of applause as the music fades out.)\n\nTRENT: Thank you for coming out. We’ll see you next weekend.\n\n.JANE (standing): I’m gonna head to the girl’s room before we leave.\n\nDARIA: Try not to fall in.\n\n(Jane walks away as an obviously drunk guy stumbles up to the table.)\n\nGUY: Hey good lookin, how’d you like ta come home with me tonight? I’ll show ya a real fun time.\n\nDARIA (deadpan): No thanks, my fun quota is full for this lifetime. \n\n(As she stands and starts to walk away, the guy reaches out and grabs her arm.)\n\nGUY: Aw c’mon baby. I just want to show you a good time. \n\n(He licks his lips slowly as Daria looks down at his hand and back up at his face.)\n\nDARIA (irritated): And I said no thanks. Now let me go.\n\nGUY (slightly peeved): Well who lit the fuse on yer tampon? (leering, he pulls on her arm a bit.) I think you just need a bit of thawin out.\n\n(Daria glances around a bit panicked. Relief flashes in her eyes as she glances over and sees Jay rising from his stool and making his way across the room.)\n\nGUY: C’mon baby, jus a lil kiss. (he wraps his free arm around her waist, pulling her towards him. Daria quickly kicks him in the shin, causing him to stumble back and howl in pain but still keep his grip on her arm.)\n\nGUY: You little bitch! You’re gonna pay for that!\n\n(Just as he starts to pull on her arm again, a hand comes down on his shoulder. He looks up, startled)\n\nTRENT (almost growling): Let her go…. Or you’re gonna be eating through a straw.\n\nGUY (amused): Who’s gonna make me Beanpole? (looking Trent up and down)\n\nTRENT: Me\n\nGUY: You and what army?\n\nTRENT; Oh, I don’t need an army. (grinning evilly)  I have a band.\n\n(Cut to the drunk’s POV as he finally notices the rest of the Spiral, plus Jay and Jane standing behind Trent. He drops Daria’s arm and raises his hands in defeat.)\n\nGUY (turning pale): Yo! I’m sorry dude. I didn’t know she already had an ol’ man. (holding out a hand to Trent.) No hard feelings?\n\n(Trent glances down at the man’s hand with disgust, then looks back up. His eyes narrow as he leans forward slightly, lowering his voice.)\n\nTRENT: I suggest you leave (Bt) NOW!\n\n(The drunk quickly scrambles away, mumbling apologies as he goes. Trent slips his arm around Daria’s shoulders and looks her over.)\n\nTRENT (concerned): You ok Daria? (At Daria’s meek nod, he turns to glare at Jane) Where the hell were you? Why’d you leave her alone?\n\nJANE: I had to go to the bathroom! I wanted to go before we left. (holding her hands up in defense.) The show was done so I knew you’d be here in a sec. I didn’t know Creepy McNasty was gonna be on her like white on rice.\n\nTRENT: I told you to stick together! What if we’dve gotten stopped, or Jay didn’t see her? Dammit Janey don’t you think? What the hell is wr-\n\nDARIA (quietly, putting her hand on his arm): Trent? (pleading) It’s not her fault. I should’ve gone with her.\n\nTRENT (still angry, but a bit more subdued) She should’ve stayed.\n\nDARIA (sighing): It doesn’t matter. My knights in shining armor came to the rescue and nothing happened. (raising her hand to silence his protests) C’mon, it’s Jesse’s birthday. Let’s just forget it ever happened (Bt) Please?\n\n(Trent glares at Jane for a moment, then sighs. He looks down at Daria and squeezes her shoulders gently before offering a tense smile to the group.)\n\nTRENT: She’s right… we’re supposed to be celebrating tonight. Let’s get home and start the real party. (nodding to Jay) can the girls hang with you while we load the tank?\n\nJAY: No prob man.

Sure, people go all &quot;lazy, feckless&quot; on us all the time. We are kinda used to shrugging it off. People in other countries have this terrible versions of Mexican food. I can\'t even imagine what passes for Mexican cuisine in England because I would never judge British food by whatever the &quot;British Pubs&quot; serve in Mexico. It is still damn popular around the world, so, whatever. \n\nThere is something so strange about watching a show you love, and again, Top Gear has got to be one of the most watched imported television shows in Mexico, and hearing them tell you it must be just awful being who you are.

We hardly ever use Yankee, mostly because at least people in my native land of Northern Mexico have had enough contact with people in the North American south/southwest to know that they dislike being called that. The most amusing story I\'ve heard about that has been that the term dates from Villista &quot;invasion&quot; of American territories, where the Mexican Militia tried to reclaim lost territories by going to US military camps and shouting &quot;Go, green, go home&quot;, as in, soldiers dressed in green.  <!-- s:lol: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif\" alt=\":lol:\" title=\"Laughing\" /><!-- s:lol: -->  But yes, for us the Yankees are the MLB team everyone puts a 20 on during the playoff\'s office pool and nothing more.  \n\nAnd about El Paso (for which I have obviously much love), isn\'t the reference during &quot;Esteemsters&quot; that Helen had threatened to send Daria to live with her &quot;real father&quot; in El Paso?

Maybe she did know he was in love with her, maybe she didn\'t care for anyone that would call her that.[/b:2x6qfneb][/quote:2x6qfneb]\n\n\nThere\'s a world of truth to the saying that [b:2x6qfneb]only someone you love can hurt you the worst[/b:2x6qfneb]. Why do you think that cops consider responding to domestic disturbances one of the most dangerous of all police duties, and why do you think divorces are so destructive and hate-filled? This person that you love has done the worst to you; in your mind, you feel that they\'ve done that specifically to hurt you the most because they know what they\'ve done will do just that - and you want then to suffer because you\'re certain they did it for that reason and you want reciprocity.[/quote:2x6qfneb]\n\nPerhaps he called her the biggest insult specific to her for this very reason. Being in love, or loving someone, carries with it an inherent trust and a belief (however foolish) that they, of all people, would never hurt us. But when they do, in that moment you only feel the blind rage of revenge. [i:2x6qfneb]Of all people, how could you?[/i:2x6qfneb]\n\n\nWhat really redeems Snape is that, after Lily is dead and he has nothing left, [i:2x6qfneb]he still turns spy[/i:2x6qfneb]. He could easily have lost himself completely to the Dark forces (make the world hurt like he hurts for revenge on a truly joyless and unfair life) or just given up completely and gotten himself killed (by either side). But no, he takes the most difficult path left to him, for no reason other than it\'s the right thing to do. He atones for his mistakes and in the end, sacrifices himself in a similar manner as Lily. Perhaps even more so as most mothers would do the same for their children and Snape did it for the sake of [i:2x6qfneb]everyone[/i:2x6qfneb].\n\n\nAnd at the time I first read the books, I was the only person I knew who disliked Sirius from the start.

What these data show is that the unskilled unionized factory jobs are gone forever.  There are still plenty of high-paying jobs in industry, for engineers and highly-skilled tradespeople.  \n\nA few years ago, I visited the Ford Rouge River complex in Dearborn, MI.  Much of the physical work there was automated, simply because robots are more accurate and don\'t get bored or tired.  There were people on the factory floors, though.  The guide explained to me that they were millwrights and quality-control technicians.  The millwrights were there to set up equipment and program the robots, he told me.  Both of these groups of workers are highly-skilled and well compensated by Ford.  This is the future of factory work.\n\nIt is interesting to note that very few people in the US are directly involved in agricultural work.  Estimates vary, but less than 2% is the figure usually cited.  The reason is that agricultural productivity is extremely high and nobody complains about the farm jobs that are going away.

Israel has allied itself with repressive regimes in Egypt and used that alliance to ensure that the borders with Gaza would remain closed while Israel attempted to economically deprive the Hamas regime there by denying needed food supplies and equipment to rebuild after Israel\'s devastating attack in December 2008 and January 2009. If the Egyptian people take over, they are far more likely to side with Hamas than with the Israeli blockade of Gaza.\n\nYet it is impossible for Jews to forget our heritage as victims of another Egyptian tyrant - the Pharaoh whose reliance on brute force was overthrown when the Israelite slaves managed to escape from Egypt some 3,000 years ago. That story of freedom retold each year at our Passover &quot;Seder&quot; celebration, and read in synagogues in the past month, has often predisposed the majority of Jews to side with those struggling for freedom around the world. \n\nTo watch hundreds of thousands of Egyptians able to throw off the chains of oppression and the legacy of a totalitarian regime that consistently jailed, tortured or murdered its opponents so overtly that most people were cowed into silence, is to remember that the spark of God continues to flourish no matter how long oppressive regimes manage to keep themselves in power, and that ultimately the yearning for freedom and democracy cannot be totally stamped out no matter how cruel and sophisticated the elites of wealth, power and military might appear to be.\n\nMany Jews have warned Israel that it is a mistake to ally with these kinds of regimes, just as we\'ve warned the US to learn the lesson from its failed alliance with the Shah of Iran. We\'ve urged Israel to free the Palestinian people by ending the Occupation of the West Bank and the blockade of Gaza. Israel\'s long-term security will not be secured through military or economic domination, but only by acting in a generous and caring way toward the Palestinian people first, and then toward all of  its Arab neighbours.\n\nSimilarly, America\'s homeland security will best be achieved through a strategy of generosity and caring, manifested through a new Global Marshall Plan such as has been introduced into the House of Representatives by Congressman Keith Ellison.\n\nIn normal times, when the forces of repression seem to be winning, this kind of thinking is dismissed as &quot;utopian&quot; by the &quot;realists&quot; who shape public political discourse. But when events like the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt occur, for a moment the politicians and media are stunned enough to allow a different kind of thinking to emerge, the kind of thinking that acknowledged that underneath all the &quot;business as usual&quot; behaviour of the world\'s peoples, the yearning for a world based on solidarity, caring for each other, freedom, self-determination, justice, non-violence and yes, even love and generosity, remains a potent and unquenchable thirst that may be temporarily repressed but never fully extinguished.\n\nIt is this recognition that leads many Jews to join with the rest of the world\'s peoples in celebrating the uprising, in praying that it does not become manipulated by the old regime into paths that too quickly divert the hopes for a brand new kind of order into politics and economics as usual, or into extremist attempts to switch the anger from domestic elites who have been the source of Egyptian oppression onto Jews or Israel which have not been responsible for the suffering of the Egyptian people.\n           \nWe hope that Egyptians will hear the news that they have strong support from many in the Jewish world. We are not waffling like Obama - we want the overthrow of Mubarak, the freeing of all political prisoners, the redistribution of wealth in a fair way, trials for those who perpetrated torture and other forms of injustice, and the democratisation of all aspects of Egyptian life.[/quote:2rr9sevn]\n\nWhich goes to show something that I\'ve been saying for some time: being a Zionist and being Jewish are not necessarily the same thing, and that being against Israeli policies in the Middle East is not the same as being anti-Semitic.[/quote:2rr9sevn]While we\'re making distinctions, we should also distinguish between \'being a Zionist\' and \'being a supporter of Israeli government policies\'.

I mean, the problems that the protesters are trying to address are extremely deep-seated, and they’re not going to be solved easily. There is a tremendous poverty, repression, a lack of not just democracy, but serious development. Egypt and other countries of the region have just been through a neoliberal period, which has led to growth on paper, but with the usual consequences: high concentration of extreme wealth and privilege, tremendous impoverishment and dismay for most of the population. And that’s not easily changed.[/quote:1vle0mrl]And he also says this:[quote:1vle0mrl]Whether they can or not, no one knows. I mean, the situation has—we should recognize, has ominous aspects. The dispatch of pro-Mubarak thugs to the square is dangerous and frightening. Mubarak, presumably with U.S. backing, feels that—clearly feels that he can reestablish control. They’ve opened the internet again. The army is sitting by. We don’t know what they’ll do. But they might very well use the conflicts in the streets, caused by the pro-Mubarak gangs that have been sent in, to say, &quot;Well, we have to establish military control,&quot; and they’ll be another form of the military dictatorships that have been, you know, the effective power in Egypt for a long time.\n\nAnother crucial is how long the demonstrators can sustain themselves, not only against terror and violence, but also just against economic crisis. Within a short time, maybe beginning already, there isn’t going to be bread, water. The economy is collapsing. They have shown absolutely incredible courage and determination, but, you know, there’s a limit to what human flesh can bear. So, amazing as all this is, there’s no guarantee of success.[/quote:1vle0mrl]Maybe the protesters feel that the position in Egypt has got so bad that if they can get rid of the present government then whatever replaces it can\'t be worse. But that\'s seldom strictly the case. No matter how bad the present government is, it\'s nearly always possible that the next one will be worse. I heard something on the radio this morning about the twenty-fifth anniversary of the ejection from power of Baby Doc Duvalier. Things were bad for the people of Haiti under Duvalier, and I don\'t know that they\'re any worse now, but I don\'t know that they\'re any better, either.','6a603440465904f97e1ebf58834d4998',0,'kA==','1vle0mrl',1,0,'',0,0,0),(459924,31889,6,59,0,'98.214.72.176',1297125737,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Iron Chef:  Titles','[quote=&quot;Kristen Bealer&quot;:lngecli1][quote=&quot;Brother Grimace&quot;:lngecli1][quote=&quot;Jim North&quot;:lngecli1][quote=&quot;Wassersauefer&quot;:lngecli1]in which Lawndale isn\'t a small town but a bad neighborhood in some big city.[/quote:lngecli1]\nIf it helps any, canonically Lawndale already isn\'t a small town but a suburb of a larger city.[/quote:lngecli1]\n\nWhere\'d you see that?[/quote:lngecli1]\n\nProbably &quot;Speedtrapped&quot;:\n\n[quote:lngecli1]Quinn: Attention, guys.

Even the Word of God on the subject is kind of sketchy.  While it is generally accepted that Lawndale is a suburb of Baltimore, Eichler\'s hints weren\'t exactly specific and there are other possibilities.  &quot;Speedtrapped&quot; is indeed one of the things that muddies the waters since at that time, the writers seemed to think of Lawndale as being in Texas just like Highland and that Daria hadn\'t really moved very far.  It wasn\'t until later in the show\'s life that it was apparently decided Lawndale was more likely somewhere on the east coast.  Its location therefore is kind of like Springfield\'s in [i:2nr1syze]The Simpsons[/i:2nr1syze] . . . flexible.  And this ambiguity has led to a lot of fics having Lawndale as a suburb of several cities, not just Baltimore, though Baltimore [i:2nr1syze]is[/i:2nr1syze] the most commonly used.  Which puts it safely under the &quot;research&quot; thing, I suppose!\n\nBottom line, the upshot of this is that you can pretty much make it the suburb of whatever city is most convenient for you, and no one can really gainsay you!\n\n[quote:2nr1syze]Question: how far away from Baltimore is Lawndale?

And a paladin mounted for battle on his war charger, filled with holy zeal and absolute courage, might well be the most inspiring sight that many mortals could hope to see. He can, and does, accomplish much good. But a hundred paladins, a thousand? United in purpose, single-minded and driven by their sense of duty?

Ouch.”\n“Then we start Dragon Training after lunch.”\n“I still can’t get over that: there are dragons here! Real dragons. That’s cool.”\n“Why are you surprised? Didn’t you read the information that we got when we signed up for this program?”\nJane’s smirk answered [i:2vq0nbh6]that[/i:2vq0nbh6] question.\nDaria sighed. “The people who live here are the descendants of a group that broke away from the Vikings 300 years ago to hunt dragons. It was three years ago that the fighting between the two groups finally stopped. Now, the dragons are integrated into their society and you’re asleep so I’m going to shut up now.\nA light snore was Jane’s only reply.\n\nThe next morning, the three students were dressed in jeans and sweaters to ward off the morning chill when a knock at the door revealed a young woman in a skirt and skintight shirt.\n“Good morning!” she said cheerfully, and was answered by mumbles and groans. “You’ll get used to the early mornings in no time. Let’s get some breakfast.”\nAlong the way, they ran into Kevin and Mack, who were guided by a skinny young man who walked with a limp and squeaked slightly on each step.\n“Babe?! You don’t look hot in that!”\nBrittany’s only reply was a slap to Kevin’s jaw that echoed across the predawn village.\n\nEntering the Meade Hall, they found that breakfast was rather vigorously underway. Ms. Li was still staring into her mug of ale, unmoved from the night before, while their other chaperones were passed out under their table. Taking their seats, they examined the food options placed before them.\n“Meat and milk,” said Daria, slightly more deadpan than usual.\n“You might want to get used to it,” the skinny boy said. “The only plant eaters on the island are the sheep. The cook thinks that green stuff messes with the taste of the meat.”\nBrittany was squeaking out a Morse Code signal of distress at all the fatty foods before her, while Kevin had dived in and was holding a drumstick in each hand.\n“Hey, Mack Daddy, where’s Jodie? I thought she was coming too.”\nMack threw down a thigh in disgust. “Kevin, we talked about this. Jodie’s father wouldn’t let her come along once he found out that she wouldn’t be able to do any business networking out here. We’d planned this so she could get away from her parents, but they said No yesterday.” He took a long sip of his milk, then said, “And don’t call me Mack Daddy!”\n\nAfter breakfast, the sun was peeking over the horizon. The boy called all the students together.\n“I’m sure you’ve figured out that we’re your guides here.”\n“Whoa!” exclaimed Kevin. Ignoring him, the boy continued. “I’m Hiccup, and this is Astrid,” he said, pointing to the blonde girl. “Do you have any questions before we start the tour and the lesson about this place?”\nWith a chuckle, Kevin asked, “What happened to your foot, dude?” Looking down, they all realized that the squeak earlier had been caused by a prosthetic leg sticking out of the boy’s pants.\nAstrid walked up to Kevin and slapped him in the face as hard as she could, knocking him to the ground. “That happened when he was fighting the biggest dragon anyone’s ever seen, little boy. Show some respect.”\n“If there aren’t any more questions,” Hiccup said, chuckling nervously, “let’s begin the tour!”\n\nHe showed them around the village, detailing the rather short histories of each building. Proudly, he took them through his own house, all of five years old. “The oldest one on Berk!” he told them with a smile. After the tour were several hours in which he detailed the history of the island itself, notably the famed war with the dragons.\nAfter a lunch of meat and milk, Astrid kept them all in the Meade Hall for their first lesson in Dragon Training. She outlined each of the species of dragon that lived in the area: Gronkles, Zipplebacks, Terrible Terrors, Monstrous Nightmares, Night Furies, and Nadders.\n“Any questions?” she asked at the end, then turned to Kevin. “Wake up!”\nHe jumped and, in perfect form, made a football run for the door of the Hall. As he opened the door, a large blue dragon just outside screamed at him, causing him to faint dead away. \n“By the way, I hope you were all paying attention. Tomorrow, after breakfast, we’re taking you to Dragon Island, and you’ll each get to find yourself a dragon.”\n\n\n\n[i:2vq0nbh6]Meanwhile, back in Lawndale[/i:2vq0nbh6]\n\nStraightening his sweater vest, the dark haired man sat at his desk in his darkened office and scrolled through his new messages. Finding one from his contact in the Department of Defense, he quickly skimmed it and deleted it, then sent a highly encrypted message to his DoD liason instructing him on the bid to be placed on a specific contract.\n[i:2vq0nbh6]Finally[/i:2vq0nbh6], he thought as he turned off the computer, [i:2vq0nbh6]everything is going according to plan.[/i:2vq0nbh6]\nThe phone rang.\n“Hello?

Yes, dear, I’ll be home shortly. Just finishing up a few things at the office. Love you too.”\nHe hung up and turned his chair around, studying the map on his wall. Near the Arctic was an area circled in red ink. He smiled as he read the words he’d written there.\n\n[i:2vq0nbh6]Berk: Jackpot[/i:2vq0nbh6]','23f421472ad2c81c25035679e35705f5',0,'YA==','2vq0nbh6',1,1297134141,'',1151,1,0),(459938,31822,16,1074,0,'68.110.0.146',1297132451,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Robot Chicken','The clip from the episode featuring Daryl has been posted to [url=http&#58;//video&#46;adultswim&#46;com/robot-chicken/the-90s-revisited&#46;html:1jn3f2a9]Adultswim.com.[/url:1jn3f2a9] (US viewers only.)','29048df830750c5006e9a609a6c3b3e8',0,'EA==','1jn3f2a9',1,1304490698,'',1074,2,0),(459939,31881,6,1138,0,'76.4.154.138',1297133308,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Daria/Dorian Ch. 13  Paper Towels and Open Flames Don\'t ','I like this series.

Ron obviously never thought about werewolves as being people the other 30-odd days of the lunar cycle, even though the Weasley family is generally open-minded. Sometimes it takes an outside influence to challenge something everyone believes just because well, everyone believes it and not because it\'s true.\n\nI don\'t know about house-elves, it\'s not really explored. It seems like they\'re naturally helpful and that trait was bred/exploited through magic to benefit wizards. Much like the above, passing down submissiveness (telling offspring from birth &quot;this is how it is&quot;) may be as cultural as it is instinctual. Then someone like Dobby comes along and challenges the system. Likely free-thinkers like him were/are eliminated/sterilized so the submissive inclination is retained in future generations.[/quote:14n6fevl]\n\nIt is also fairly common in mythos to have elves bound to their word.\n\nIt is quite possible some wizard long long ago made a contract with elves that got twisted down the line and somehow expanded into a sort of racial geas.','4e2b046c912315c1993e4e661319f693',0,'gA==','14n6fevl',1,0,'',0,0,0),(459947,31394,3,59,0,'98.214.72.176',1297135539,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The Completely Random Post Thread-Da Wikileaked-On Versi','[url=http&#58;//www&#46;youtube&#46;com/watch?v=yu89YrTqe4E&amp;feature=related:3d2jf7az]The musical selection is what makes this truly evil.[/url:3d2jf7az]','63aa0a8aee454c2b1f95fb1f5ae0d1ae',0,'EA==','3d2jf7az',1,0,'',0,0,0),(459948,31896,3,1015,0,'64.30.126.159',1297136195,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: I might be just plain wierd but I find her adorable','Not weird.

It had been slightly louder than last time, however, allowing Stacy to immediately zero in on it.  She was looking at the other Stacy once more, and with a soft &quot;oh!&quot; of surprise, she noticed that her mirror twin had accrued a small crack right in the middle of her forehead.\n\nNo, that was just an illusion.  The crack was in the glass of the mirror itself, of course, and she slowly leaned forward to take a closer look.  It was only an inch and a half long, far smaller than the almost two-meter-wide mirror it was set in.  If it hadn\'t been for the sound of its sudden arrival, Stacy figured she might not have initially noticed it at all.\n\nThe crack was almost an S shape, with the longest section in the middle running straight up and down and the smaller arms spiraling away from the ends like miniature scythe blades.  It almost looked like a logo of some kind to Stacy.  Fascinated, she pushed in closer and closer until it seemed to line up exactly with other Stacy\'s iris.\n\n[i:3ezt6aft]cccccraaaaaaaaack[/i:3ezt6aft]\n\nStacy gasped and jerked back from the mirror as the low whine escaped the stressed glass and the crack spider-webbed out across the reflective surface.  Her back hit the bracing wall of the stalls behind her, and she found herself suddenly unable to decide whether to turn left or right to get away.  The location of the door out of the restroom escaped her, and she didn\'t dare look away from the crackling mirror to remind herself.\n\nImpossibly, the middle of the mirror where the original crack had appeared started to bow outward.  There was a subtle sound of glass breaking accompanied by the nerve-shearing noise of thousands of pieces of silicate constantly rubbing against each other.\n\nChunks of the mirror seemed to flow into the center as it pushed outward, but no empty spaces were left behind, simply more shattered glass.  The push itself formed a sharp pyramid that pointed directly at Stacy, slowly flowing out almost as if it were aiming for her heart.  She wanted to run, wanted to scream, but everything in her had frozen up, leaving her stranded in the face of whatever it was that was happening before her.\n\nThe slivers of glass in the distended area of the mirror began to part, and amidst the sparkling sand of crushed mirror that clung to the edges almost like glue, Stacy could see something strange poking out.  Five such strange somethings in fact, colored a very familiar shade and slowly dripping with red.\n\nHer throat tightened up even harder than before when she realized she was seeing the tips of somebody\'s fingers poking through the jumbled mass of glass.\n\nThe fingers extended further and were followed by a hand.  Then an arm, slowly pulling through the glass as a second area of the mirror began to bulge outward to release something large, round, and brown.\n\nThe head turned forward as it fully exited the mirror.  The face framed by the long brown hair was severely lacerated and bleeding just like the arm before it and the shouldered coming after it, but it was still a familiar one to Stacy.  Recognition freed her from her paralysis, and with a cry of terror, she jumped forward to wrap her hands around the upper part of the outstretched arm and [i:3ezt6aft]pulled[/i:3ezt6aft].\n\nThe girl sticking out of the mirror screamed in pain, an almost deafening sound in that small space, but she tightly gripped the sleeve of Stacy\'s jacket and tugged, trying her damndest to help the process along as much as possible.  Stacy pulled with all her might as tears filled her eyes, and ever so gradually she began to feel her effort being rewarded.  She took one step back, then another, until finally the girl from the mirror broke free from its grasp and tumbled down to the floor below.\n\nThe glass, having grudgingly released her, slid back up against the wall and reformed, sealing every crack and falling silent within seconds, looking as if nothing unusual had happened at all.\n\nStacy fell back the moment the resistance suddenly disappeared, banging her spine on the bathroom stalls but not caring.  The girl was all that mattered, but Stacy wasn\'t entirely certain what to do.  She was hurt, gashes of all shapes and sizes all over her body, blood spilling out all over the floor and staining the torn rags of her clothes dark red.\n\n&quot;[i:3ezt6aft]Puh . . . puh . . .

And I get to work with music without feeling like I sold out. Life is good.\n\nDARIA: Good for you Trent. Not everyone finds a job that they like.\n\nTRENT: What about you? Are you really gonna be happy trying to pound Shakespeare into the heads of a bunch of mindless teenagers? Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure you’ll be far better at it than that twit O’Neill.

Janey? Daria? You guys wanna join us?\n\nJANE: You know I’m in.\n\nDARIA: No thanks (holding up a can of soda) I’ve cut myself off. I’d like to remember the rest of my night.

Assuming we are clear that the urban legend on the origin of that word is rubbish, the term is a)not used in every single mention of people from the United States of America and b)not used in a derogatory way. It is similar to some people from the US calling Mexican American people &quot;chicanos&quot; (there\'s also a rather unpleasant urban legend on the origin of that word).

Are you feeling alright?”\n \n“As responsible parents, we care about our beloved daughter’s health and daily nutrition!” \n \n“You’ve made Dad [i:16t3lyq0]sell out[/i:16t3lyq0], Daria!” spat Quinn, thumping the table. “[i:16t3lyq0]SELL OUT![/i:16t3lyq0]”\n \n“No, no, we just, erm...” \n \nHe looked to Helen for aid, a lost man at sea clutching at driftwood, and she tried gamely with: “Well, just because we have a hardcore, take-no-prisoners lifestyle, doesn’t mean we don’t care about a good, healthy breakfast!”\n \n“Then why don’t you eat the cereal first?” \n \nHelen and Jake paled. Daria took pity on them and said: “If you want to eat bacon that’s so greasy it can clog other people’s arteries by osmosis, that’s fine-“\n\n[b:16t3lyq0]“THANK CHRIST!”[/b:16t3lyq0]  \n \nAll three punks dived for the fridge, and she calmly started to eat. Things still weren’t back to normal at home and it would be a while before they were, but she’d been embarrassed by people’s behaviour at breakfast and her father had spilt food all over the floor just now, so this was [i:16t3lyq0]almost[/i:16t3lyq0] a normal breakfast.\n \nErin lurched into the kitchen, saw Quinn’s cornflakes rapidly dissolving in their milk, and rushed to the sink (almost) so her stomach could verbalise (and visualise) its protests.\n \n“We are family,” crooned Daria in monotone.\n \n---\n \nThe security line at school was moving slowly again, as Andrea had got just one more piercing and that had caused the metal detector to finally give up &amp; die. Steve had dispatched another security guard to fetch “the emergency replacement” (a magnet).\n \n“Sooo...” asked Jane, “how’re you doing on the Gym thing?”\n \nTom blinked. “Gym thing?” \n \n“Ms Morris is trying to sneak cheerleading practice into Gym again,” said Daria, “and Jane and I have protested by refusing to take part. We are both principled and lazy. Luckily, Mum wrote me a note.”\n \nShe handed the note to Tom, who read out: “Daria is excused from your cheer-fascist indoctrination, and you’ll listen if you know what’s good for you. Signed, Helen Morgendorffer.”\n \n“Trent wrote me a note too,” said Jane. “Well,  [i:16t3lyq0]I[/i:16t3lyq0] wrote it. He scribbled ‘yeah, what that said’ and his signature at the bottom. Now I just need to get one for Maths, saying ‘Jane is excused from doing any tests or homework’.”\n \n“Unfortunately, we live in the real world, so you’ll have to study if you want to get your C average back.” Daria thought that through. “Or you can join the football team.”\n \n“Study or hang with Kevin. Choices, choices.”\n \nThey’d all heard about Kevin getting a “bye” on the ethics test yesterday, after Coach Gibson ‘had a word’ with the teacher about the lad’s need to keep a C average to stay on the team. More accurately, they’d [i:16t3lyq0]over[/i:16t3lyq0]heard it. And Mack’s extremely loud and angry response. Even know, Kevin was trying to hide behind another student so Mack couldn’t see him (a shorter, thinner student).\n \n“And Ms Morris thinks my family are deadbeats. And she’s right, but... I think I just killed my argument there. Anyway, the important thing is, who cares what she thinks?” \n \n“You do,” said Daria.\n \n“Hoisted by your own petard there,” added Tom.\n \n“But I get your point,” the misanthrope continued. “They’re [i:16t3lyq0]your[/i:16t3lyq0] family. It’s [i:16t3lyq0]your[/i:16t3lyq0] job to be ashamed of and disparage them.”\n \n“Not that I need to. They’d have to be [i:16t3lyq0]around[/i:16t3lyq0] for that to be necessary.” Jane was silent for a second, and then carried on with: “So how’s your own family?”\n \n“Wealthy and numerous, thanks for asking,” said Tom.\n \n“It’s alright,” said Daria. “My parents are walking on eggshells and Quinn keeps glaring at me for that, but things are improving now they know I’ll not be going to the successful nice school but the impoverished, Orwellian cesspit instead.” \n \nAt the front of the security line, the guards were amusing themselves by picking up paperclips with the magnet.\n \n----\n \nThe school hallways were alive with the sound of really, really desperate jocks touting their sports clubs. The Fashion Club, as ever, had an opinion that was based on calm logic and cool reasoning:\n \n“Tt. Could you imagine having to [i:16t3lyq0]wear[/i:16t3lyq0] those uniforms, and... [i:16t3lyq0]lycra?[/i:16t3lyq0]” Sandi shuddered.\n \n“And you’d get all sweaty and your makeup would smudge!” said Stacy.\n \n“And what guy’s are going to find [i:16t3lyq0]that[/i:16t3lyq0] attractive anyway?” sneered Elsie.\n \n“Thaaaattttt’s sooooo truuueeee,” said Tiffany, who had no idea what the discussion was about and was going with her usual fallback answer. \n \nA few steps away, Daria and her friends walked along; none of the stalls bothered trying to get [i:16t3lyq0]her[/i:16t3lyq0] attention. Mildly curious about what was going on, she decided to ask the boy manning the basketball club stall. (He looked [i:16t3lyq0]offended[/i:16t3lyq0] that she was talking to him)\n \n“Li wants the sports teams to have some fresh blood in case that ‘facilitates our improvement’,” he grumbled. \n \n“I’m not familiar with your alien ways and customs, Sports Man, but doesn’t this normally happen at either the beginning of a semester or the beginning of a school year?”\n \nHe shrugged. “School’s rep is bad these days. There was that mess with Amazon Modelling, that paintballing trip that went wrong, that Leaks site, Tommy Sherman’s visit, that Ted guy, the Yearbook ceasing to exist because the photography section is effed...”\n \n“Ahhh. This is a desperate attempt to get some [i:16t3lyq0]positive[/i:16t3lyq0] attention before the end of the year.”\n \n“Yeah. Now can you please stop talking to me? People will think we’re [i:16t3lyq0]friends[/i:16t3lyq0], and I’m on thin ice socially after it came out I like ballet.”\n \n“This means the clubs will take [i:16t3lyq0]anyone[/i:16t3lyq0],” said Tom as they walked on. “Finally, my dream of joining Women’s Volleyball can come true.”\n \nThey caught up with the Fashion Club, who’d just got dissed by some dude who was on the track team (Evan, it turned out his name was). Said dude remarked with surprise to Jane “It’s hard to believe there’s anyone alive who still thinks athletics isn’t ladylike,” followed by a general comment that women could excel at any sport they put their minds too.\n \n“I definitely agree with that,” said Daria.\n \n“Me too,” said Jane. “I’d like to sign up for the team.”\n \n“And I thought we’d be partners at volleyba-” Tom stopped speaking when he saw Jane was [i:16t3lyq0]serious[/i:16t3lyq0]. He looked at Daria for guidance, but found only more confusion.\n \n---\n \nThe tryouts were after school, and Daria and Tom found themselves mooching around the car park waiting for Jane. The Maleficent Eleven and the potheads, veterans of the car park mooch, eyed these newcomers with suspicion. The Eleven even started talking in code, specifically the ode-cay that oes-gay ike-lay is-thay, making it really obvious what they were saying that they didn’t want the otential-pay nitches-say hearing (especially when Burnout Girl asked“why are you moving the start of those words around?”).\n \nSometimes, someone came by to actually collect their car. They were glared at too, with Dave heard muttering “what do [i:16t3lyq0]they[/i:16t3lyq0] want?”.\n \n“Jane on a team. A [i:16t3lyq0]school[/i:16t3lyq0] team. A school [i:16t3lyq0]sports[/i:16t3lyq0] team. Maybe she’ll have to hang around Kevin [i:16t3lyq0]as well as[/i:16t3lyq0] study.”\n \n“Truly a hell on Earth,” said Tom. “I can’t believe this. I never thought [i:16t3lyq0]Jane[/i:16t3lyq0] would waste her time like that.”\n \n“Waste her time?”\n \n“Well, she can run anytime, right?”\n \n---\n \nJane had just faced Morris down, resisting the urge to outright snark when her presence had been questioned (“I’m here for the crack deal!”). She couldn’t get shown up yet. She had to run. Run fast and well. So Morris would shut her goddamn mouth and get it into her head that she – and some of her family members, but this was mostly her – wasn’t a deadbeat and could damn well kick some ass.\n \nThat was it. That was all she was here for.\n \nBoy, Evan sure was sexy.\n \n“So, you think you\'re ready for track?” he asked, mock-seriously.\n \n“Yeah. I figure if the people suck I can always wear my iPod.”\n \nEvan pulled his out of his pocket. “Way ahead of you.”\n \n“Until we get out there.” Smirk smirk.\n \nShe went with the iPod after all, going with that song from Top Gun. With both Morris [i:16t3lyq0]and[/i:16t3lyq0] Evan watching, she made sure she wasn’t seen for [i:16t3lyq0]dust[/i:16t3lyq0]. \n \n\n---- \n\n \nJane was taking her time. They’d been waiting in the car park for longer than they’d planned. To their surprise, while the potheads had since lurched home, the Eleven were still there. \n \n“Quinn?” asked Daria. “Are you planning to stand here threateningly until [i:16t3lyq0]every[/i:16t3lyq0] teacher and janitor has gone home? You’ll need to pee at some point...”\n \nQuinn glared daggers. “We’re not leaving before [i:16t3lyq0]you do![/i:16t3lyq0] That’d make it look like you owned the car park, and that would mean we’d [i:16t3lyq0]lost[/i:16t3lyq0]. And we’ve been peeing on Mr Ewing’s car. That’ll teach him to give us a surprise maths test!”\n \n“I followed the logic there,” said Tom. “I feel like Dian Fossey.”\n \nThe standoff continued for a good few minutes – Koichi even tried to sneak off home, so Quinn hit him. Death Rowe, the Eleven’s affiliate member, was called in to turn up and help bulk up the numbers, and soon the malcontents were taking it in turns to give Daria and Tom threatening looks. (They waved back)\n \nFinally, Jane arrived, smiling a distant smile.\n \n“Found your way at last?”\n \n“Oh man, lost track of time. I was busy talking to Evan... [i:16t3lyq0]Say nothing, Sloane[/i:16t3lyq0]. You can speak, Daria, you’ll just say ‘um’ a lot.”\n \n“So... you made the track team.”\n \n“Yeah.”\n \nThe two girls looked at each other, and Jane quickly looked away. Daria was a few seconds late before finally saying “Congratulations.”\n \n“No big deal, really,” muttered Jane. “Just a bit of fun, won’t mean anything to anyone.”\n \n“Jane, it will be a big deal, but I don’t care. You deserve the opportunities. Speaking of big deals, want to take advantage of Pizza King’s new supersize deal?”\n \nThe trio walked off, and the Maleficents watched them go, glad they could finally use a bathroom (Ewing’s car lacked toilet paper). The track team did not come up in the conversation. Daria was glad, because if they\'d talked about it, Jane would’ve been embarrassed and self-depreciating, and [i:16t3lyq0]she’d[/i:16t3lyq0] have to come close to... well, being emotionally open, [i:16t3lyq0]this[/i:16t3lyq0] soon after Granpocalypse. And because it [i:16t3lyq0]did[/i:16t3lyq0] bother her a bit, that she had recently given up a shot at opportunity and advancement after so much stress, and suddenly Jane had her own shot fall into her lap. \n \nShe’d have snarked about it, except Jane was clearly embarrassed by that and was worried it’d bother her. Except she snarked everything, so if she [i:16t3lyq0]didn’t[/i:16t3lyq0] snark, would Jane think- oh screw it. \n \n“So did they teach you the special handshake so college interviewers know you’re one of the brotherhood?”\n \n[i:16t3lyq0]Hrr. I wonder if Quinn ever needs to deal with tricky social dilemmas?[/i:16t3lyq0]\n \n---\n \n“I didn’t realise Death was coming to hang, I only bought [i:16t3lyq0]eleven[/i:16t3lyq0] cans,” said Andrea, distraught. “[i:16t3lyq0]One of us will have to go without any booze![/i:16t3lyq0]”\n \nEveryone looked to Quinn for guidance – and, she knew, if she didn’t think of something fast, the thirstier among them would look to her as a potential “one of us”. So, quite logically, she yelled “FIRST MAN TO FALL LOSES OUT!” and headbutted Shaggy before he was ready. \n\n\n\n(tbc)','6bbdd07f7a712c16b3fdc876d1da90ec',0,'cA==','16t3lyq0',1,1297467295,'',1108,3,0),(460055,31257,5,525,0,'70.106.236.237',1297187379,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: What anime, etc are you into right now?','[quote=&quot;Silver&quot;:136e82rz]Been watching Mobile Suit Gundam: Char\'s Counterattack, m\'self.

Invisigoth Gypsy was great really early stuff, although I don\'t think it can be found easily. Thomas Mikkelssen (sp?) could script a funny scene with wonderful ease. Medea42 and RuthlessBunny both were great at writing Trent. I can\'t remember who wrote Trent\'s lyric\'s book, one of them did I think.

Raise your hand if you think that was the most surreal conversation ever.  A unanimous &quot;yes&quot;?  That\'s what I thought.\n\nIt isn\'t that I\'m ungrateful for his help by any means.  If they can do what the first one did for me, then the two Health Drinks weighing down my jacket pockets are probably the best things anyone could have given me aside from, say, a tank or a map straight out of this crazy town.  But still, there was definitely something off about the whole thing.\n\nDavid was . . . well, truthfully, he was just too chipper for being trapped in Silent Hill, especially if he really has been here as long as he says he has.  Of course, just about everyone in the world seems chipper compared to me, the supposed &quot;Misery Chick&quot; - a title which I actively despise, despite the occasional fear that it might, in fact, fit - but I think even without the comparison, he was just downright [i:1uz62onf]weird[/i:1uz62onf].\n\nStill, weird or not, he did help.\n\nWhen I hit the nearest intersection I stop walking, read the street signs on the corner, and pull out my map to orient myself.  I\'m at the crossing of Katz and Neely, so I need to turn south on Neely, then east on Sanders, south again on Lindsey . . .\n\nSuffice to say that thanks to the city craters, my path will be somewhat circuitous but not horribly bad.  Tracing the path with my finger, I see that on my way to the school, I\'ll have to take what looks to be an unlabeled side-road that runs along the local shopping center.  This definitely raises my hopes a little that I\'ll actually find Quinn in the area.  If the center contains a Cashman\'s having a half-off sale, I might not even have to continue on to the school.\n\nPutting away the map and tire iron, I re-arm myself with my pistol, and not a moment too soon.  Just as I\'m checking the safety, I feel the soft tell-tale quiver of the phone.  Something\'s coming.  I step as lightly as I can to the sidewalk and creep along the storefronts to my right.  I peer into the mists, expecting the lithe form of a runner to appear any second, shambling along on its alien business.\n\nNothing.  The vibrations continue and grow stronger, but I don\'t hear the echoing tap of bone or the harsh scrape of metal.  As far as I am able to see, the street remains clear of pedestrians, unusual or otherwise.  The paranoia I was feeling back in David\'s haven comes back full force, and this time I have no conflicts with it.  The phone\'s warnings begin to fluctuate a little, getting stronger and weaker in turns broken by brief periods where they remain moderate but steady.\n\nWhatever this thing is, I think it\'s checking me out.  Testing my reactions.  [i:1uz62onf]Hunting[/i:1uz62onf] me.  But there\'s nothing [i:1uz62onf]there[/i:1uz62onf], just fog fog fog and more fog.  I\'m missing something.  I\'m-\n\n[i:1uz62onf]LOOK UP.[/i:1uz62onf]\n\nA heavy [i:1uz62onf]whuff whuff whuff[/i:1uz62onf] comes from above me as I jerk my head up to see the thing slowly bearing down on me, it\'s fleshy wings beating steadily as it hovers just a few yards ahead.  A female humanoid body hangs from those wings, its nude but featureless body an expanse of skin the color of rotting flesh.  A wide, cruelly curved beak of grey steel sits under two piercing eyes locked directly on me.\n\nIt\'s the harpy from my nightmare.\n\nDidn\'t see that one coming.\n\nWith a wretched screech, the creature drops out of the air, aiming for my head and shoulders with the long talons protruding from it\'s crooked toes.  I\'m frozen with surprise for only a second, then I pull myself to one si-\n\n&quot;[i:1uz62onf]AAAAHHH![/i:1uz62onf]&quot; I scream as one of the talons catches me across the side of the head, tearing into my scalp!  I\'m bleeding!  Oh shit, and it burns, and I find myself on the ground, my shoulder blade sore from where the heel of the harpy\'s foot smacked me on the way past.\n\nThe harpy recovers from its landing faster than I can, and now it\'s standing over me, clicking its beak and spreading its wings to either side in order to block any attempt to escape.\n\nBlood runs down into my right eye, forcing me to blink to try and clear it away.  Through the red, I can see the bird-thing lunge forward, and I throw my left arm up to block it, but it just grabs my forearm in its beak and clamps down.  The bones within creak without breaking, and the jacket sleeve keeps it from biting into my skin, but it still hurts like a mother, causing me to scream a second time.\n\n&quot;[i:1uz62onf]Bitch![/i:1uz62onf]&quot; I yell in the monster\'s face.  &quot;[i:1uz62onf]Bitch!  Fucking bitch![/i:1uz62onf]&quot;\n\nThough my head is completely addled by the burning cut and distracted by the pain in my trapped arm, my right hand at least seems to know what it\'s doing.  Almost as an automatic reaction, I click the safety off on the pistol, press the barrel up against the harpy\'s chest, and pull the trigger.\n\nThe noise is barely muffled by the harpy\'s bulk, and it is joined by the horrifying scream of the creature itself as the bullet passes through its body and exits out the other side in a spray of blackish blood.  It remains stubbornly clamped to my arm, however, and from the extra surge of pain I can tell that it\'s chomping down even harder than before.\n\n&quot;[i:1uz62onf]Die die DIE![/i:1uz62onf]&quot; I scream, punctuating each word with another shot from the pistol, each one given a slightly different angle by the harpy\'s jerky struggles, its instincts seeming to simultaneously tell it to get away and to hang on at the same time.\n\nAfter the final shot, however, the struggling seems to take a different quality as it slowly tips from one side to the other, then falls over, finally releasing my forearm in the process.  I roll away from the creature, hit the brick wall next to me, then watch as it claws fitfully in the air with its feet, coughs up a foul stream of blood, then flops back into stillness.\n\nThe vibrations from the phone cease, but I train the gun on the beast for a few long seconds anyway.  I consider putting another bullet right into its head, but my rational side is starting to kick back in, and it tells me that I need to conserve the ammo.\n\nIt\'s dead.\n\nThe pain tearing through my head and arm, on the other hand, seem to be reliable indicators that I am still quite alive and in serious need of some medical attention.  I can feel warm blood still trickling down the side of my face, and I can see several strands of my hair stuck to the harpy\'s foot where it hit me.\n\nI try to stand but my legs threaten to buckle underneath me.  My vision goes fuzzy, my balance flips almost entirely upside-down, and I think I\'m about to vomit.  I need to find something to press against the cut in my head to stop the blood loss, so I begin to take off my jacket to use the lining when I feel the weight of the can inside the pocket.\n\nHastily I set down the pistol and dig out one of the Health Drinks.  When I crack the top open it starts to fizz out everywhere, but I ignore the mess I\'m making and start slugging the fluid down as soon as I can get the opening to my lips.  Carbonation bubbles nearly clog my nose and I can feel them painfully expanding my esophagus on the way down, but I keep drinking.\n\nThe mild euphoric high finally hits me, and things begin to snap back into clarity.  When I try to get up again, my leg muscles stay strong and lift me all the way to a standing position.  I go back to taking my jacket off when suddenly my head wound and the sore areas of my arm and back start to itch like crazy.  Resistance is futile and I reach up to scratch at my head almost against my will, my jacket dropped to the sidewalk forgotten.\n\nMy finger hits the ragged edge of the wound and jerks back in reflex as a fresh burn of pain pulses through my scalp.  I press back in, intent on dragging my fingernails across the itchy area, pain or no pain, but stop when I can feel my own skin . . . wriggling.\n\nThe vomit thing creeps up on me again.  Dealing with oddities separate from myself is one thing, but this is almost more than I\'m prepared to handle.  My mind fills unbidden with scenes from a hundred different horror movies where some character or another has gotten infected with the virus and slowly transforms into some slithering, mutated [i:1uz62onf]thing[/i:1uz62onf].  Sure, they\'re just actors wearing prosthetics or with CGI effects pasted onto them in post-production, but this - whatever [i:1uz62onf]this[/i:1uz62onf] is - is actually happening.\n\nWhat the hell?\n\nMy fear gives way to curiosity as the wriggling stops.  I press down on the side of my head with my fingertips after a few seconds to find that the pain, while still there, is lessened.  The flow of blood seems to have stopped on its own and is quickly turning sticky against the side of my face.  The wound, which seemed like a roughly triangular piece of missing flesh and hair before, now feels like a superficial cut, a single line running through a soft patch of newly grown hair.\n\nThe pain in my arm and back, meanwhile, are completely gone as if they had never been there.  I don\'t feel great by any means, but I no longer feel as if I\'m in a dire emergency anymore.\n\nBefore I can start working it all out, the phone vibrates, and this time I can hear the distant tapping of a runner possibly zeroing in on the scent of a fresh kill.  I collect my pistol from the ground, toss the empty drink can down in its place, and move away from the scene as fast as my legs can take me.','4ce7a683eb60748dea222576cda9a21f',0,'IA==','1uz62onf',1,1297208349,'',885,1,0),(460102,28306,5,1095,0,'76.171.225.183',1297198324,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: What are you listening to?','[url=http&#58;//www&#46;youtube&#46;com/watch?v=1si7DO4OoAM:3cj8ouz6]Motörhead - I Know How to Die[/url:3cj8ouz6].\n\nWe Americans finally got [i:3cj8ouz6]The Wörld is Yours[/i:3cj8ouz6] released today.','a5e7e32bff85d6902e047fb1371ec28e',0,'MA==','3cj8ouz6',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460103,31889,6,1108,0,'86.164.210.84',1297199296,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Iron Chef:  Titles','The Dalek Invasion of Lawndale.','8d81710d27dbfc0bceac27fd85c20cb3',0,'','wvv2zzra',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460104,31903,5,1108,0,'86.164.210.84',1297199343,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Songs Daria would write / music she\'d listen to','Possibly the Pixies.

With a few more pieces of background and hints of dark, deep angst.\n\nAgain thanks to LadieT for beta reading, you\'re a great help for me.\n\n-------------------\n\n„GHA!!! DAMN IT!!!“\n\nThe command-center-crew, short CCC, of the frigate Nixon was used to this outbursts after six weeks of constant yelling. Especially at bad times, their new commanding officer seemed to have a lot of vent up frustration and let this out by ranting about his superior officers, the mega corporations, the small mammals in the belly of the ship and his long dead father.\n\nCaptain Jake Morgendorffer was considered to be a slightly crazy, ranting and unpopular officer. The Admirality of the eight fleet did clearly not like him, or they would have given him another command. Not on some old, outdated ship on the border to wildspace on patrol duty, looking for any signs of trouble.\n\nSitting in his commando chair the captain gripped the handles of his chair and clenched the teeth together. The whole vessel was shaking under the steady fire of the attacking Hopp-Raiders, the shield fluctuating. “Stupid squirreld headed Morons!! You think this will break me old man?!! HUH?!!! I\'LL SHOW YOU!!! GOOD OL\' JAKEY ISN\'T YET READY TO GO!!!”\n\n“Portside shields failing!!”, some female bridge officer yelled over the uproar of shrilling sirens and thundering hits of incoming fire.\n\n“Hull breaches on numerous decks!”, someone else screamed with a panicked voice.\n\n“DAMN IT!!”, the captain cursed again before he yelled orders. His voice, used to loud screaming, was clearly heard over any racket in the whole command-center. “Lieutenant Bealer, turn the ship around!”\n\n“Aye sir!”, the woman on the helm yelled back, blood tripling down her forehead.\n\n“Ensign Arbe, send out a massive tachyon-pulse on my command!”\n\n“Sir, that would make us blind!”, a young man with British accent answered.\n\n“I know, but them too!” He whirled around with his chair, trying to see through the smoke in his command-center. “Sergeant Thorne, open a hyper-space-jump-gate right on my command!”\n\n“I need ten minutes at least for doing the math for a safe jump!!”\n\n“JUST OPEN THE GATE!! GHA DAMMIT!!!” An insane grin crept onto his face when the ship shuddered again under the impact of massive fire. “Let\'s see how you deal with this, ha?!!”\n\n–\n\nIt was in the early morning hours when Daria arrived back in her new home, long after she should have been back. She felt guilty, she really did. Never before had she done something like that, even if she had a good reason for it, but at her first night in an unsafe new environment she came home long hours after she was supposed to. But she had just such a good time talking with Jane, snarking about the stupidness of people and society, watching other people and making fun of guys trying to hit on any of them.\n\nAs silent as she could she opened the door to the apartment her mother had bought and sneaked inside. Thankfully it was a silent door and with nearly soundless steps she moved into the direction of her room. Then she stopped.\n\nThere on the couch lay her mother, still dressed in her cloth and holding something in her hand. For a moment Daria hesitated, before she sighed, cursing her own stupidness and walked up to her. She moved her mother into a more comfortable position, carefully not to wake her, and pulled a blanket up to her chin.\n\nShe saw the dried tear stains on her mothers cheeks and the clutched picture of her family, taken in simpler times. Everyone smiling, genuinely smiling, and everyone together when everything was good.\n\nFor mere seconds she stood there, staring at the smiling face of a younger self, a really happy Daria, holding a still infant red haired girl. Then she turned around and fled to her room, nearly slamming the door behind her, letting herself fall onto her bed.\n\n[i:24xl4i95]Damn picture.[/i:24xl4i95] Memories of that time was the last thing she needed now, not after all this time, not after she had began to forget it, to work things out. She tried to ban the pictures of a laughing little girl from her brain, but it did not work.\n\nA happy laugh of a gurgling infant. A proud Jake telling everyone of how great his daughters were. A tired but happy Helen after the birth. A cooing Quinn trying to understand what was happening. A small cart tied behind a children\'s bike, two laughing red haired small girls in it and Daria on the bike.\n\nGroaning, she rolled around and grabbed the small metal cylinder under her pillow and pulled it out. It wasn\'t bigger than a small lighter would be, dark gray and plain. There was only a small plug on one end and with a practiced movement she took it and pulled it out of the cylinder, revealing a cable connecting it with each other.\n\nAgain, she hesitated and glared at the small construction, as if that would help, before she sighed. She knew that she had no other choice if she wanted to forget, not to lay there for hours and being remembered of what had happened.\n\nWith her left hand she moved her hair out of the way and with the right she connected the plug with the slot behind her left ear. Instantly she fell back, out like a light. It was the only way for her to deal at the time, forgetting the memories.\n\nAbout Highland.\n\nAbout Hope.\n\nAbout Veronica.\n\n–\n\n[b:24xl4i95]End of Chapter One[/b:24xl4i95]\n\n–\n\n[b:24xl4i95]Teaser for Chapter Two:[/b:24xl4i95]\n\nThe shuttle from the prison ship to Lawndale Seven was dark, damp and uncomfortable. It was rusted and streaked with oil and grease, scarred from collision and prisoner revolts. There was a rumor on the ship, about how a female Xorni Prisoner had been raped and killed in that shuttle, before her corpse had been cast out into space. If he believed it? Oh yes, he certainly did.\n\nAlthough there were only the two prisoners of them it was certainly cramped, the ceiling too low and the seats too small. Still, knowing that it was the last time for him to see it from the inside let him smile.\n\n“Yo, MackDaddy! I spy with my eye...”\n\n“Wall.

Draco put it even better in CoS: [i:2oxw586h]\'The famous Harry Potter - can\'t even go into a book store without making the front page![/i:2oxw586h]\'\n\nGranted, Snape was harsh on Harry - and yes, he probably took pleasure in some of it - but can you blame him? Can anyone really say that they would do differently... especially when you consider that the five years of Potions training forced Harry to learn how to do things under the harshest of conditions without cracking, and his N.E.W. T. year of Defense Against The Dark Arts training that Snape made him endure forced him to become the best (and thus, giving him the skills he\'d need against Voldemort) - was what saved his life at the end. [url=http&#58;//www&#46;youtube&#46;com/watch?v=vEPhYhKdJ7k:2oxw586h]People forget that Snape trained Harry how to duel (not Lockhart),[/url:2oxw586h] and Harry\'s signature spell - [i:2oxw586h]Expelliarmus[/i:2oxw586h], the spell he used to stop Voldemort in both duels he fought him in - [b:2oxw586h]was taught to him by Snape.[/b:2oxw586h] \n\nSnape hated him and abused him because of his father, but he taught him the things he\'d need to survive the trials ahead because of his mother.[/quote:2oxw586h]\n\nI don\'t disagree that Snape played a vital role in training Harry to fight they way it needed to be done, but this implies his [i:2oxw586h]sole motivation[/i:2oxw586h] in torturing Harry was to make him stronger, and I just don\'t believe that\'s true. I\'d believe he either started it out of spite and continued out of realization it was the best way to prepare Harry (also why DD let it happen), or it was more a more simultaneous idea (he needs to be pushed and I\'m the perfect one to do it muahahahaha!!).[/quote:2oxw586h]\n\n\nAgreed. You also have to consider that yes, he was a pain in the rear to Harry, but he never really tormented him (and God knows that he could have done oh, SO much to him) and for the reason I pointed out before: at the end of the day, even with the fact that Harry looks like his father, [i:2oxw586h]he\'s still the only remaining piece of Lily left that matters to him.[/i:2oxw586h]\n\nAs the series shows us, love is a very powerful force when viewed from the perspective of Snape; it armored him against Voldemort\'s Occlumency and altered his Patronus (and along those lines, by what we know of how a Patronus is formed, it\'s very easy to imagine what Snape draws upon to cast his - and what he sees when a boggart shapeshifts, as well) It\'s very easy to see that because of his love for Lily, Snape never went as far as he could to Harry - for example, causing him physical pain in the manner of Umbridge. Speaking of that evil cow, you KNOW that Snape lied through his teeth to her about not having any Veritaserum in OOTP. Yeah. Like he\'s going to go without a supply of any potion that valuable...\n\nAs for Dumbledore, OOTP and DH really shines some light on just how much of a manipulating bastard he really was. The problem I have with prophecies is that people act as if they have to follow along slave-like to them; that\'s one reason why I liked the sadly-dead-before-its-time [i:2oxw586h]FlashForward[/i:2oxw586h], because it showed that all a prophecy really becomes the indicator of the most likely outcome... and it can be altered in a number of ways. You really have to wonder just how easily Dumbledore could have actually smoked Voldemort (because of [i:2oxw586h]that[/i:2oxw586h]), but chose to let all of those people die and be actually tormented, just in order to let that damned prophecy come to pass...','bab20319d46d208249a264db8fce644c',0,'8A==','2oxw586h',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460147,31779,6,1108,0,'86.164.210.84',1297209960,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Lawndale Seven Chapter One part Two','Jake saves the day!  <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D --> (Well, a ship.)\n\n[quote=&quot;Wassersauefer&quot;:celtzmqc]\nAbout Veronica.\n\n[/quote:celtzmqc]\n\n...oh shit  <!-- s:shock: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif\" alt=\":shock:\" title=\"Shocked\" /><!-- s:shock: -->','4119c1a3cf9233d1eb692e56d9c636d4',0,'gA==','celtzmqc',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460148,31839,5,49,0,'84.25.194.131',1297210175,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Music you associate with fanfiction','[quote=&quot;Raskolnikov&quot;:1cvjaj2p][quote=&quot;Dork&quot;:1cvjaj2p][quote=&quot;Raskolnikov&quot;:1cvjaj2p]\n\nWhite Chalk is an... interesting album.

Sucks, don\'t it!&quot;[/quote:bmubtwq3]\n\nI\'ve already covered this - and I don\'t think there was anything petty there, especially when you consider that (as you say above) Harry did get a world of breaks that he didn\'t really deserve. Draco put it even better in CoS: [i:bmubtwq3]\'The famous Harry Potter - can\'t even go into a book store without making the front page![/i:bmubtwq3]\'\n\nGranted, Snape was harsh on Harry - and yes, he probably took pleasure in some of it - but can you blame him? Can anyone really say that they would do differently... especially when you consider that the five years of Potions training forced Harry to learn how to do things under the harshest of conditions without cracking, and his N.E.W. T. year of Defense Against The Dark Arts training that Snape made him endure forced him to become the best (and thus, giving him the skills he\'d need against Voldemort) - was what saved his life at the end. [url=http&#58;//www&#46;youtube&#46;com/watch?v=vEPhYhKdJ7k:bmubtwq3]People forget that Snape trained Harry how to duel (not Lockhart),[/url:bmubtwq3] and Harry\'s signature spell - [i:bmubtwq3]Expelliarmus[/i:bmubtwq3], the spell he used to stop Voldemort in both duels he fought him in - [b:bmubtwq3]was taught to him by Snape.[/b:bmubtwq3] \n\nSnape hated him and abused him because of his father, but he taught him the things he\'d need to survive the trials ahead because of his mother.[/quote:bmubtwq3]\n\nI don\'t disagree that Snape played a vital role in training Harry to fight they way it needed to be done, but this implies his [i:bmubtwq3]sole motivation[/i:bmubtwq3] in torturing Harry was to make him stronger, and I just don\'t believe that\'s true. I\'d believe he either started it out of spite and continued out of realization it was the best way to prepare Harry (also why DD let it happen), or it was more a more simultaneous idea (he needs to be pushed and I\'m the perfect one to do it muahahahaha!!).[/quote:bmubtwq3]\n\n\nAgreed. You also have to consider that yes, he was a pain in the rear to Harry, but he never really tormented him (and God knows that he could have done oh, SO much to him) and for the reason I pointed out before: at the end of the day, even with the fact that Harry looks like his father, [i:bmubtwq3]he\'s still the only remaining piece of Lily left that matters to him.[/i:bmubtwq3]\n\nAs the series shows us, love is a very powerful force when viewed from the perspective of Snape; it armored him against Voldemort\'s Occlumency and altered his Patronus (and along those lines, by what we know of how a Patronus is formed, it\'s very easy to imagine what Snape draws upon to cast his - and what he sees when a boggart shapeshifts, as well) It\'s very easy to see that because of his love for Lily, Snape never went as far as he could to Harry - for example, causing him physical pain in the manner of Umbridge. Speaking of that evil cow, you KNOW that Snape lied through his teeth to her about not having any Veritaserum in OOTP. Yeah. Like he\'s going to go without a supply of any potion that valuable...\n\nAs for Dumbledore, OOTP and DH really shines some light on just how much of a manipulating bastard he really was. The problem I have with prophecies is that people act as if they have to follow along slave-like to them; that\'s one reason why I liked the sadly-dead-before-its-time [i:bmubtwq3]FlashForward[/i:bmubtwq3], because it showed that all a prophecy really becomes the indicator of the most likely outcome... and it can be altered in a number of ways.

First off, she had to make sure she was never seen inside. While coming down to the room from her balcony was cakewalk, getting up was a real bitch. \n	\nBut, as quickly as she could, she made her way back to her room, and headed back to where she had met Elsie. Either Elsie took a long time in the bathroom, or she was meeting whatever friends of hers were pulling off this little heist, because she wasn’t back by the time Bianca got there. \n	\nSo Bianca pleasantly waited for her, and Elsie eventually found her way back.\n	\n“Rough night?” Bianca asked pleasantly.\n	\n“I think the food here wasn’t that great.” Elsie covered.\n	\n“How unfortunate.” Bianca frowned. “But anyway, I really like to talk to you about your brother. I think it’s not really secret, but I kind of like him. I was, well, I was hoping that perhaps, once the summer comes around, you and your family would accept an invitation to visit Hungary. It is an infatuation, yes, but we will deal with it as befits our station.” Bianca was lying profusely, and she did feel more than a little guilty about it, but her plan now forced her to keep Elsie with her as long as she could. Staying up all night would mean nothing.\n	\nPerhaps Elsie was confident in her plan, for she allowed it. The loose ends must have been all dealt with on her end, so she was confident her plan would go off without a hitch. She must have wanted Bianca to stay so that her plan couldn’t be discovered prematurely, and acted upon to prevent it. \n	\nThe two women talked of Hungary, and Bianca was all too eager to continue speaking. Eventually, the sun began to rise.\n	\n“Oh my, we spoke all night, didn’t we?” Elsie remarked pleasantly.\n	\n“Well, in the presence of good company, time does fly, does it not?” Bianca praised. Falsely, but Bianca knew how to make things sound believable. \n	\n“I suppose our hostess shall be waking soon. She always was an early riser. I should ask for permission to use her phone to place a call to someone.” \n	\n“Shall we...” Bianca stood up, but wasn’t able to finish her sentence, for soon there was a loud shriek coming from another room in the house. It was so loud it could probably be heard from space. \n	\nIt must have been Christine, awoken to find her things missing. Now was the time for the real game to begin. \n\n	\nOnce the shriek came out, Elsie was ready for it. She knew her lines, she knew exactly what to say. Everything was going according to plan.” \n	\n“I wonder what that was?” Elsie asked Bianca, who made a show of sitting with her for most of the night. Elsie was more than willing to oblige: She was the only person who could give her an alibi, and, when Christine would find the purloined items in her jacket, all Elsie would have to say is that she wasn’t with her for all of the night, just most of it. Plenty of time to engage in the theft. And that would be the end of it. \n	\n“Shall we go see, she might be hurt or something?” Bianca was good at words. But those wouldn’t save her now, not when physical evidence was in front of the face of the accused.\n	\nIt wasn’t too hard to find Christine, the shrieking made it very easy. Elsie found her standing in front of the safe that she had put those diamond earrings in, the one she bragged about immensely. The perfect thing to steal. \n	\n“Christine? I’ve heard shouting.” Elsie came over with a fake look of concern on her face.\n	\n“They’re gone! My earrings! I’ve been robbed!” She shrieked and sobbed.\n	\n“Oh dear.” Elsie hugged the girl in comfort. This was humiliating, and, were it not the polite thing to do, she’d never think of touching this girl at all. \n	\n“How could someone do this!” Christine sobbed, not caring about anything. “We have to call the police!” \n	\n“The police will take a long time to get here.” Elsie pointed out. True, Christine lived in the country, and it take at least a few hours for them to arrive.\n	\n“Let’s see if we can find anything here. Ummm...Bianca, check the windows on the right side of the house, and Christine and I will take the left.” \n	\n“All right. We should probably wake Nadine, and let her know, we’ll need everyone we can find.” \n	\n“If one of the servants did this, I will have their heads!” Christine freaked out.\n	\n“Come on, let’s look first.” Elsie had to steer this hysterical woman. She had bought into the lie hook line, and sinker, but unless the purloined items were found in Bianca’s jacket, it wouldn’t make a bit of difference. \n	\nBianca darted off following Elsie’s instructions. For a second, Elsie thought of seeding seeds of distrust in Christine’s mind, saying how she heard Bianca up and about all night.\n	\n“No.” Elsie thought. That was too obvious. That was the worst sin for a player of the game, being caught by being too obvious. \n	\n“Come on, let’s go look.” Elsie said with a smile. “I’ll take the second floor, you start with the first. Just see if any windows are unlocked or cut or anything that isn’t what it should be.” Elsie set Christine on her task.\n	\nElsie could not start in Bianca and Nadine’s room. That was just as obvious. So Elsie started with the other rooms up here: The billiards room, the study, the lounge. There wouldn’t be a single thing out of place as a result of Elsie’s scheme: The Twins were experts, and Lance was a fast learner, despite his reluctance to the plan. He wouldn’t jeopardize himself, though, Lance was a mercenary first and foremost, and Elsie could always pay a premium for this service. \n	\nAfter about an half an hour of searching empty rooms, Elsie decided to check on Christine first and see how she was doing. Act like a good little concerned guest. Downstairs, Elsie quickly saw Christine in her own guest room. \n	\nWhile Elsie was indignant at the thought of her snooping in her, there was nothing she really could say: Not without looking suspicious, that is.\n	\n“Christine!” Elsie called, and Christine turned around to face her. But the look in her eyes was no longer one of weeping concern over her jewelry, but of pure anger. \n	\n“You!” She angrily shouted. “You stole them!” \n	\n“What?” Elsie could now get angry without fear. “I did no such thing!” And Christine held in her hand the two diamond earrings she had bragged of last night.\n	\nHow on Earth did they get there? The Twins couldn’t have made such a careless mistake, and even Lance was not that dumb. \n	\n“You...you wanted them for yourself!” Christine accused.\n	\n“I would never...” Elsie started. She needed to think of something quick.\n	\n“Is everything all right?” Bianca’s voice called, and she was standing in the doorway. Did she do something? It had to be, this was all her doing.\n	\n“Bianca!” Christine called. “Look at this! I found these with Elsie’s things!” \n	\nElsie expected Bianca to nod, and give a look of indignation. Agree with Christine wholeheartedly. It would deflect blame off of her and onto someone else. It was a classic move.\n	\nBut Bianca’s brow furrowed. \n	\n“That can’t be right.” She stated with a shrug.\n	\n“It is!” Christine shouted. “Here they were.”\n	\n“It’s not that, Christine, I mean, Elsie was with me all night.” Bianca said something Elsie would have never expected.\n	\n“What?” \n	\n“Yes.” Bianca stated very calmly. “I have trouble sleeping in unfamiliar locations, and the time zone difference is still weird with me. I...also some girl talk to deal with and Elsie was awake, so we actually talked all night. Isn’t that right, Elsie?”\n	\nElsie was so surprised, she almost didn’t agree in time.','5b2becf185852c197c1fe9589f5ad5eb',0,'IA==','hhqamacm',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460175,31889,6,525,0,'70.106.236.237',1297220750,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Iron Chef:  Titles','[quote=&quot;Roentgen&quot;:1gib47y8][b:1gib47y8]Fashion Club Sandwich[/b:1gib47y8].  \n\nI don\'t know what it\'s about, but it too sounds like a cheap $2.99 porno.[/quote:1gib47y8]\n\nSo do some of the other titles at first glance... \n\nMeanwhile, lots of other classic titles cheap:  \n[url=http&#58;//thepaperpusher&#46;net/forum/viewtopic&#46;php?f=6&amp;t=11682:1gib47y8]here[/url:1gib47y8] and [url=http&#58;//thepaperpusher&#46;net/forum/viewtopic&#46;php?f=6&amp;t=12842:1gib47y8]here[/url:1gib47y8]\n\nMy favorites from those threads:\n[list:1gib47y8]Cereal Experimints: Lane \nThis is Spiral Tap.\nTrent Rosiner\nLe Morte de Stacy\nYankee-Doodle Sandi\nThe Fashion Out Of Space\nPretty Maids All In a Rowe\n[/list:u:1gib47y8]','3e6d293e72c76988552f957226b37d08',0,'0EA=','1gib47y8',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460176,31159,6,885,0,'72.161.250.30',1297221149,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Screams of Silence (2/8/10)','[quote=&quot;Kristen Bealer&quot;:2bl5bezd]You...you...you [i:2bl5bezd]bad man[/i:2bl5bezd]!   <!-- s:x --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mad.gif\" alt=\":x\" title=\"Mad\" /><!-- s:x --> [/quote:2bl5bezd]\n[img:2bl5bezd]http&#58;//img&#46;photobucket&#46;com/albums/v608/esn1g/Smilies/jim_awesome01&#46;gif[/img:2bl5bezd] lolz','8c75ceae3682d1481a29a8369a73b42a',0,'qA==','2bl5bezd',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460177,31438,6,305,0,'200.114.121.240',1297221574,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Spirit of the Game, Nature of the Beast (Part 21)','Bianca the good samaritan?

Jane had fallen asleep and was leaning against her unofficial big sister.  Pulling out her sketchbook, Daria\'s pencil began to move carefully over the paper.  Jane\'s bangs were covering one of her eyes and her mouth was slightly open.  Penny watched as Daria focused her entire attention on the sleeping girl\'s face.  The sketching continued for almost the entire rest of the flight.  When Jane finally awoke, she looked over to see the picture Daria was drawing.\n\n&quot;I am glad to see that I make such an interesting subject,&quot;  Jane huffed.\n\nDaria gave her a slight grin and closed the sketchbook.  Right before the plane landed, Daria slid the book into her duffel bag.  Once they arrived home, everyone went into their rooms to unpack while Helen brought Penny home.  Jane quickly put away her clothes and then helped Daria finish.  Jake returned forty minutes later with dinner in hand.  Trent had invited Charity over for dinner.  After the meal, Charity and Trent left to go to a movie.  Jane asked if she could go practice her cello while Quinn played the drums.  Helen and Jake nodded and watched as the kids ran into the garage.  They looked around for Daria, until they heard the bedroom door close.\n\nDaria could hear Jane and Quinn as she brought back out the sketchbook.  She reached for a stack of old newspapers that she kept near her bed and spread several pages on the floor.  Then, she placed her easel on top of them and grabbed an empty canvas from the closet.  When she was finished setting up, Daria opened her book to the drawing of Jane.  Taking her time, Daria began to recreate the sketch on the canvas.  An hour later, Helen and Jake called for Jane and Quinn to come inside and get ready for bed.  Helen followed Jane into their room to tell Daria to change into her pajamas and her mouth dropped.  \n\nStill wearing the clothes she left New York in, Daria was already sound asleep.  The drying canvas still resting carefully on the easel.  Although she could tell it wasn\'t finished, seeing Jane\'s sleeping face in the picture before her made Helen want to wake Daria up and wrap her in a hug.  Helen signaled for Jake to join her.  Jake smiled brightly as he and Helen picked the paper off the floor and grabbed the brushes to clean them.  For her part, Jane stared at the portrait and smirked.  Before they left the room, they kissed both girls foreheads.  A few minutes later, Jane turned off the bedroom\'s light.  Then she realized that Daria was sleeping on top of her covers.  She nudged her sister until Daria woke up just enough to stand up.  Jane moved her blanket aside as Daria took off her glasses.  Daria laid back down and wrapped herself in the warmth of the comforter.','d393ec93b859f4b95b91a3fa861a063a',0,'QA==','2pkjlywr',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460196,30589,6,1098,0,'207.204.186.86',1297227904,1,0,1,0,1,1,'','Re: Iron Chef:Mary Sue.','Okay, so I thought I might turn this around a little and ask: What sort of\nMary-Sue fanfiction would Daria write?

There was no other way to interpret them except on\nface value: her tenure at the Vulcan Science Academy was to be interrupted, and \nthe High Command was assigning her to oversee the first mission of the Humans\' \nnewest starship, the NX-01 [i:26aa465c]Enterprise[/i:26aa465c].\n\nIf Vulcans could have a sense of wounded pride, D\'rea didn\'t show it.  She tried\nto think of who she might have offended, that she would be sent to serve on a \nvessel full of humans.  But there was nothing she could think of.  All of her\nperformance evaluations were excellent, and her superiors had never said anything\nto suggest that they were displeased with her.  Displeasure in Vulcans was rarely\nexpressed overtly, of course.  D\'rea understood that the humans had a word for \nthis sort of behavior: passive-aggressive.\n\nD\'rea looked over the attached documents.  The mission was a sounded like a \nsimple one to the humans: return a Klingon warrior back to his people.  The\ntrouble was, dealing with the Klingons was rarely simple.  This was why the\nVulcan High Command volunteered her for the mission.  Perhaps someone there\nknew of her time spent at the Vulcan Diplomatic Compound near San Francisco, and\nthought that she was used to humans.  Nothing could have been further from the\ntruth; D\'rea thought that they smelled and that the great mass of them were\nstupid and annoying.  \n\nThe mission was supposed to be for a mere two weeks, Earth time.  This was \ncutting things very close.  Her biological clock was ticking, her seven Vulcan\nyears were almost up.  The [i:26aa465c]pon farr[/i:26aa465c], the blood fever of sexual passion\nthat dared not speak its name, was due soon.  It might happen in a month, or\nsix months from now, but it was going to happen.  \n\nA stray auburn-brown hair fell over her face.  D\'rea sometimes wished that she\nhad black hair like everyone else.  Her mother would always remind her of the \nphilosophy of IDIC: Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations.  Even so, she still\nfelt like an outcast from the other children when she was growing up.\n\nThe files of the bridge crew were mildly interesting.  Captain Thomas P. Slate\nwas 38 years old, 182 cm. tall, and had brown hair like herself.  D\'rea was \ndrawn to his eyes, though.  They were deep green, a color that seemed so exotic\non Vulcan, where everyone had brown eyes.  The video of him that was included in\nthe dossier showed a man who was confident and well-spoken, a leader of men.\nThese were qualities that were lacking in many Vulcans.\n\nSo.  She had little enthusiasm for the mission; it was something to get over with\nso that she could return to her real work.

Dominic is one of the most bastardly characters ever seen in Dariafic. \n\n* I\'ve REALLY done a turnaround on [i:40yx04og]TLAS[/i:40yx04og] (the scene with Lynn threatening Quinn wwith her pistol was the point-of-no-return for me), but I still think that her [i:40yx04og]World Geek Show[/i:40yx04og] (season One, #12) is one of the funniest fics out there.\n\n*C.E. Forman\'s \'Lost Seasons\' is personally important to me as a writer; my interpretation of Helen comes straight out of [i:40yx04og]Electricity[/i:40yx04og], my favorite of the author\'s fics. Everything Helen-centric of mine finds origin there.\n\n*Nemo Blank\'s [i:40yx04og]Crossover[/i:40yx04og] is a big favorite, and [i:40yx04og]Ring Toss[/i:40yx04og] is my all-time favorite Tom-centric fic.\n\n*Deref doesn\'t get much credit recently, but he\'s also been a big influence on my work with the series he co-authored with Thea Zara - [i:40yx04og]All My Children[/i:40yx04og]. I\'d have been a lot more harsh on Jake if not for that series.\n\n* Yui Daoren could get REALLY preachy, but his [i:40yx04og]Out On Vacation[/i:40yx04og] is very nice, and [i:40yx04og]Identity Crisis[/i:40yx04og] is one of the Dariafics that I always re-read.\n\n* [b:40yx04og]ANYTHING[/b:40yx04og] by Galen Hardesty.

The exhalations of their breaths are visible as the tiptoe into the room. They approach a row of bodies on steels tables, each with a white sheet covering them, but with their feet exposed. On the big toe of each right foot is a tag. Daria examines each as she goes down the line.)\n\nStaci: Raven, I still think we should have invited Beast Boy.

It’s creepy how much trivia he has under his belt.\n\nDaria: Eureka! (she pulls the sheet off of Zak Ephraim, exposing his mutilated corpse, separated at the torso.) Jesus, would you look this. It’s like someone took a buzz saw or a battle-ax to him. \n\nRaven: (after examining him closely) Notice anything strange about his arms?\n\nStaci: (looking closely) Nothing.\n\nRaven: Exactly. His arms don’t betray any signs of a struggle.\n\nStarfire: It’s almost as though he was protecting his handsome, million dollar face, but that doesn’t make any sense since the attacker targeted his midsection. Perhaps he was attacked from behind.\n\nRaven: Yes, but even so, only something like a light saber could have cut him in half with one blow. Do we have light sabers in this alternate universe?\n\nDaria: Yeah sure, why not?\n\nRaven: Whatever weapon he was attacked with, it obviously had some sort of serrated edge. Even if he were attacked from behind, he still could have defended himself after the first blow. It would have taken numerous strikes to split him in half like this.\n\nStarfire: Perhaps the first blow was the killing one?\n\nRaven: No, Cartoon Lezzie isn\'t strong enough to deliver a single killing blow. Maybe she could have if she struck his heart, but it\'s untouched.\n\nDaria: I found Dummi Lovato. \n\n(Daria uncovers Dummi as Raven covers Zak and goes to Dummi Lovato\'s body.)\n\nRaven: (examining her left leg) Look at her leg. It’s obvious that she was killed by a massive Malaysian Foot Beetle infestation. All the symptoms of a Beetle attack are here: the discarded eggs, the tunneling of the beetles, their shed exoskeletons, everything.\n\nStaci: But, like I said, she was in Canada up until a few months ago. Malaysian Foot Beetles can’t survive in that climate. \n\nStarfire: What does this mean, Friend Raven?\n\nRaven: I wish I knew, Star. None of this is right.

I’m taking you back to Nisdey headquarters.\n\nDaria: Oh God no!\n\nRaven: Don’t do it! We know what goes on there.

I heard that one of Khartoum\'s Russian-made gunships took you out as you were trying to cross the border into Chad.\n\nKim Probable: What can I say?

You\'re thinking that they might even let you back into Darkwater.

Jane was watching a tabloid show on the TV.\n\n[i:t22k2w7z]“This is just astounding! Here you are, blind, deaf, and barely able to walk, yet you conducted simultaneous affairs with[/i:t22k2w7z] three [i:t22k2w7z]members of the Royal Family! The question on all of America\'s mind is: how did you do it?”\n\n“What?”[/i:t22k2w7z]\n\n“You don\'t get it. It\'s the Royal Family. You\'d have to be blind,” Jane said, as commentary.\n\n“Hi Jane, is that [i:t22k2w7z]Sick Sad World[/i:t22k2w7z]? I was wondering when it was on here,” Daria said.\n\n“Hey Amigos,” Jane said. “Yeah, its on in the morning, although I have heard that they are going to change it to the afternoon,” Jane said.\n\n“Quite an interesting show,” Jennifer said.\n\n“Definitely,” Daria said. She and Jennifer sat down next to Jane. The scene on the TV had changed to a UFO convention that was being held close to Lawndale.\n\n[i:t22k2w7z]“Hi! I\'m Artie.”\n\n“Artie, hello. Tell me, what brought you here, Artie.”\n\n“It was a cone-shaped craft about 15 feet long, with an air speed of, oh, I\'d estimate mach 12. They kidnapped and stripped me, examined me briefly, returned my clothes, and dropped me here.”\n\n“I see.”\n\n“They pressed my pants. Did a nice job.”[/i:t22k2w7z]\n\nDaria turned down the TV. “You both know all the answers to the questions on the release test, right?”\n\n“I\'ve got them in my notebook,” Jane said.\n\n“I do too,” Jennifer said.\n\n“Well, why don\'t we just take the test this afternoon and get out of the class once and for all?” Daria asked.\n\n“How would I spend my afternoons?” Jane asked. \'I would have more time to paint, that is for sure!\' she thought.\n\n“UFO conventions,” Daria said. \'I can think of many activities. Not the least of which is exploring what this town has to offer that I would like,\' she thought.\n\n“Now you\'re talking,” Jane said.\n\n“Yes!” Jennifer said.\n\n\n“And so, for tomorrow, I want you to make a list of ten ways the world would be a sadder place if you weren\'t in it,” Mr O\'Niell said as conclusion for that day\'s session of the Esteem-a-Teen class.\n\n“Oh, Mr. O\'Neill, Mr. O\'Neill?!” \'The Head\' asked, waving his hands, trying to get the teacher\'s attention.\n\n“Yes, um... you.”\n\n“Is that if we\'d never been born, or if we died suddenly and unexpectedly?”\n\n“\'Oh no!\' Mr O\'Neill thought. \'I didn\'t expect that!\' he thought for a moment, trying to salvage the situation. “Never been born,” he said. The class started filing out, except for Daria, Jane and Jennifer.\n\n“Yes?” Mr O\'Neill asked.\n\n“We want to take the test,” Daria said.\n\n“We all want to take the graduation test,” Jane said.\n\nJennifer gave a small smile.\n\n“Well! I\'m glad your self-image meter is on the uptick! But there\'s still three more weeks of class left,” Mr O\'Neill said. \'They need to stay in the class for the whole time to get everything out of it,\' he thought.\n\n“This first week has been a real eye-opener. It must be the way you teach,” Daria said.\n\nMr O\'Neill was flattered. “Oh, well... thank you very much,” he said. “You look familiar somehow,” he said to Jane and Jennifer.\n\n“So can we take the test?” Jennifer asked.\n\nMr O\'Neill gave in and gave them the test.\n\n\n“I don\'t think we have to go any farther. I am really pleased! I think the whole school needs to hear about this at assembly!” Mr O\'Neill said a few minutes later.\n\nThe three teens looked at each other. Their expressions said the same thing. \'Uh, oh!\'\n\n\nAndrea looked at the VBScript code on the screen.\n\n\n[code:t22k2w7z]Option Explicit\n\nSet oWMI = GetObject(&quot;winmgmts&#58;&quot; &amp; _\n  &quot;\\\\&#46;\\root\\cimv2&quot;)\n \n Set myObj = oWMI&#46;ExecQuery _\n  (&quot;select IPAddress from&quot; &amp; _\n  &quot;Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration&quot; &amp; _\n  &quot; where IPEnabled=True&quot;)\n\n…[/code:t22k2w7z]\n\n\n“That is rather good, Quinn,” she said. It looked exactly as the flowchart and the pseudocode had laid out. “You can run it now,” she said. \'I am certain that there are no errors. I think she corrected them all in that proofreading,\' she thought.\n\nQuinn minimised the IDE screen and double clicked the .vbs file. The script ran, without error and a drive letter on Quinn\'s XP system was mapped to one of Andrea\'s network shares.\n\n“Cool!” Quinn said.\n\nAndrea smiled. \'If she is this good at VBScript...\'\n\n“So I delete it now?” Quinn asked, about the connection to the network share.\n\n“No, keep it. All the members of the Programming Club have the connection. Its a common file repository. As long as you are on my network. It\'s accessable,” Andrea said.\n\n“So, if I use a VPN to connect to it, the share is available?” Quinn asked, wondering why Andrea had a share that all of the Programming Club members could access...\n\n“Yes,” Andrea said.\n\n\'She is up to something. It may be worth joining the Anime Club, afterall,\' Quinn thought, as she started closing the programs on the laptop.\n\n\n[b:t22k2w7z]Friday, September 24, 2005[/b:t22k2w7z]\nQuinn entered homeroom carrying the information sheet on the Anime Club. As she had expected the person whom had invited her to join was the President. \'Jenna Schwartz, she\'s a sophomore. I\'ll talk to her at recess.\n\n\nJenna Schwartz was surprised when Quinn Morgendorffer walked up to her in the corridor. “Hi, Jenna. I would like to take up your offer to join the Anime Club,” Quinn said.\n\n“That would be cool, Quinn. But why did it take so long to decide?” Jenna asked.\n\n“I wasn\'t sure if I wanted to be in a third club, but I do like Anime so the Anime Club is a good choice. Also that Andrea is so weird,” Quinn said.\n\nJenna chuckled. “She definitely is. Come with me and I will give you a form. Once its filled out, you\'re in,” she said.\n\n“Cool,” she said.\n\n\nUnknown to Quinn and Jenna, Stacy Rowe had overheard them from her locker. \'The Anime Club. If Sandi wasn\'t such a hardcase about things, I would have joined a few weeks ago,\' she thought. She closed her locker and headed to the bathroom where Sandi and Tiffany were waiting for her.\n\n\nThe end of week school assembly was in progress.\n“And once again, the bake sale was a tremendous success. We raised more than $400, which was subsequently stolen from the office, but I am confident we will get that money back. In a related note, the school nurse will be visiting homerooms on Monday to collect DNA samples. Now, Mr. O\'Neill has exciting news about our after-school self-esteem class,” Principal Angela Li said.\nMr O\'Neill stood and approached the podium.\n\n“This is really going to help me gradually ease into student life,” Daria said, sarcastically.\n\n“Usually when I have this dream I\'m wearing pink taffeta,” Jane commented.\n\n“I always wanted to be on assembly. Not!” Jennifer said.\n\n“Thank you. You know, self-esteem is a little like your car\'s brake fluid. You may not even know you\'re low on it until, one day, you go to shift gears and nothing happens,” Mr O\'Neill said.\n\n“That\'s transmission fluid!” One of the students in the audience yelled.\n\n“That\'s... what I said,” Mr O\'Neill said, trying to cover his mistake. “Anyway, I\'d like you to meet three students who have completed our self-esteem course faster than anyone ever before! Please join me in congratulations as I present these certificates of self-esteem to... Daria Morgendorffer, Jane Lane and Jennifer Burns.”\n\nThere is some applause from the audience, but there is not much.\n\n“Oh, what the hell,” Jane muttered as she stepped up to the podium. “I just want to say how proud I am today. Knowing that I have self-esteem gives me even more self-esteem.” She paused, looked at Daria and Jennifer and smirked. “On the other hand, having all of you know that I had low self-esteem makes me feel... kind of bad... like a big failure or something...” she said histronically.\n\nMost of the audience began to laugh at Jane\'s behaviour.\n\n“I, uh, I want to go home!” Jane said, as she let out an exaggerated sob and ran off the stage.\n\n“Jennifer, wait!” Mr O\'Neill called out as he ran after Jane.\n\n\'That\'s Ms Lane, not Ms Burns!\' Ms Li thought, she knew that Jane was \'faking it\' even if her head Language Arts teacher didn\'t!\n\nJennifer stepped up to the podium with trepidation. There was a reason why Jodie always read the reports for the Computer Club at assemblies. “Thankyou. I am happy to have high self-esteem rather than low self-esteem. I feel I can better contribute. Thanks again,” she said. She walked away from the podium and breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced in the audience.\nShe could see Jodie, Mack, Quinn, Kristen, Cindy, a few other friends, members of the Computer Club and a few others clapping. She smiled as she went back to her seat.\n\nDaria stepped up to the podium. “No one can battle a terrible problem like low self-esteem on their own. It takes good coaching... “\n\n\nIn the audience, Sandi was sitting boredly between two boys. \'This is stupid!\' she thought.\n\n“Who cares about these losers?” one of them said.\n\n“Hey, beats algebra, though, doesn\'t it?” the other, Corey Bateman said. He then high-fived his friend over the top of Sandi\'s head.\n“Hey!” she snapped.\n\n“Oops,” the other said.\n\n“Did you hear what I said, Sandi? I said, like, who cares how bad this is - it\'s still better than algebra!” Corey said.\n\n“I, like, heard you the first time, Corey. I\'t\'s not funny!” Sandi said, with force in her voice. \'Of course its better than algebra!\' she thought.\n\n“Ok,” Corey said, leaning slightly away from Sandi.','63cecd726590e63d2d40a1e225c8c766',0,'YYA=','t22k2w7z',1,1300098188,'',1139,1,0),(460229,31779,6,1172,0,'95.119.13.243',1297251756,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Lawndale Seven Chapter One part Two','[quote=&quot;Charles RB&quot;:2omxhhgl]Jake saves the day!  <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D --> (Well, a ship.)\n\n[quote=&quot;Wassersauefer&quot;:2omxhhgl]\nAbout Veronica.\n\n[/quote:2omxhhgl]\n\n...oh shit  <!-- s:shock: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif\" alt=\":shock:\" title=\"Shocked\" /><!-- s:shock: -->[/quote:2omxhhgl]\n\nHe doesn\'t just save a ship, he saves HIS ship  <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D -->  <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D --> \n\nAnd about Veronica...  <!-- s:twisted: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_twisted.gif\" alt=\":twisted:\" title=\"Twisted Evil\" /><!-- s:twisted: -->  <!-- s:twisted: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_twisted.gif\" alt=\":twisted:\" title=\"Twisted Evil\" /><!-- s:twisted: -->  <!-- s:twisted: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_twisted.gif\" alt=\":twisted:\" title=\"Twisted Evil\" /><!-- s:twisted: --> \n\n[quote=&quot;Kristen Bealer&quot;:2omxhhgl]I get to be a lieutenant!  <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D --> \n\nBut I have to take orders from Jake Morgendorffer.  <!-- s:( --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif\" alt=\":(\" title=\"Sad\" /><!-- s:( --> \n\n[quote=&quot;Wassersauefer&quot;:2omxhhgl]“Yo, MackDaddy!

Slowly her eyes open, she cringes as the light hits her face.)\n\nDARIA (Thought VO): Ugh, who turned on the sun? My head is killing me, last time I do shots with the Lanes. (blinks a few times, confused) So this is what it’s like to wake up and see something. Must’ve slept with the contacts in. (yawns) Ah well, they’ll be fine for a couple more hours.\n\n(She pulls the blanket up to her chin and starts to drift off to sleep again. Suddenly her eyes fly open again in shock.)\n\nDARIA (Thought VO): Oh hell….\n\n(Cut to Daria’s POV. We see she is looking at the nightstand next to the bed. On the nightstand sits a duck shaped phone. Pan back to Daria’s slightly panicked face.)\n\nDARIA (Thought VO): Alright Morgendorffer, stay calm. You’re in Trent’s bed, no big deal. (There’s a light snore from behind her, Daria blinks.) You’re in Trent’s bed and you’re not alone (Bt) Okay, still no reason to panic.\n\n(The blankets suddenly shift behind her and we see an arm drape over her. Daria’s eyes widen)\n\nDARIA (Thought VO): You’re in Trent’s bed and there is someone cuddling with you. (Bt) Now might be the time to panic.\n\n(Daria takes a few deep breaths, then slowly raises the blankets and glances down at herself. She sighs with relief as she lowers the blankets again.)\n\nDARIA (Thought VO): Alright, still fully clothed. Nothing happened. Just need to slip out of here and get back to my bed and everything will be fine.\n\n(She slowly and carefully starts to raise the arm that covers her. She freezes as the snoring stops.)\n\nTRENT (sleepily): Hey Daria.\n\nDARIA (mumbling, embarrassed): Um, Hey Trent.\n\n(She lets go of his arm and turns to face him. He gives her a sleepy grin. Then realizes his arm is on her)\n\nTRENT (sheepishly as he moves): Oh, sorry about that. Force of habit I guess.\n\nDARIA: S’ok (nervously) Trent?\n\nTRENT (only one eye open): Hmm?\n\nDARIA: Why am I in your bed?\n\nTRENT (eyes closed again): All the other ones were full.\n\nDARIA: Oh. \n\n(She bites her lip a bit and glances around nervously. Trent seems to sense something is wrong and pops one eye open again.)\n\nTRENT: You ok?\n\nDARIA: Yeah, just trying to piece last night together. I remember doing two more shots when Nick and Max quit trying to kill each other. And then I remember them fighting over who gave the better toast.\n\nTRENT: And Janey telling them they both sucked. (sleepy smirk as his eyes close again)\n\nDARIA (smirking): And then someone suggested karaoke… (horrified expression) Did I sing “Get The Party Started”?\n\nTRENT (trying not to grin): Mm-hmm (opening one eye) You know if writing doesn’t work out, the Spiral could always use a female singer.\n\n(He laughs as Daria swings her pillow at him.)\n\nDARIA (blushing, but grinning slightly): Well aside from that horrendous display, I don’t remember doing anything mortifying.\n\nTRENT: Nope, before Janey could convince you to try “Wannabe” you ended up in the bathroom.\n\nDARIA (covering her face with her hand): Oh God. And I fell asleep on the floor.\n\nTRENT: Hugging the toilet. (smirk)\n\nDARIA (groaning): And then I tried to pull down the shower curtain for a blanket.\n\nTRENT: Good thing Janey decided to check on you.\n\nDARIA (frowning): Too bad all she could do was laugh and yell for you.\n\nTRENT: Yeah, well she was pretty far gone herself. Jesse had to carry her to bed. She couldn’t even crawl anymore.\n\nDARIA (small smirk): I remember him throwing her over his shoulder. I thought we were gonna be sharing the toilet after that move. (Bt) Thanks for not doing that to me.\n\nTRENT: You were still capable of standing.\n\nDARIA: And thanks for making me brush my teeth right away. You’re right, it did make my morning a bit better.\n\nTRENT: I knew it would.\n\nDARIA (shyly): Sorry that you had to deal with me last night.\n\nTRENT: No biggie.(shrugging) I’m in a band Daria, that was a typical Saturday night for me. (grinning) Besides, you’re a lot easier to hold up than Max.\n\nDARIA (rolling her eyes): Gee, thanks. Do you help him piece together his night too?\n\nTRENT: I usually don’t wake up next to Max.\n\n(Daria blushes and looks extremely uncomfortable. Trent frowns, putting his hand on her arm.)\n\nTRENT (softly): Hey, nothing happened. I swear on my guitar.\n\nDARIA: Oh, no, no. I know you wouldn’t take advantage of me like that Trent. It’s just. (sigh) I’m not used to waking up in strange people’s beds.\n\nTRENT (cocking an eyebrow): Are you saying I’m strange?\n\nDARIA (embarrassed): No, that’s not what I meant. It’s just, I mean, well-\n\nTRENT (grinning): Daria, chill. I know what you mean, it’s okay.\n\nDARIA (sighing): I’m just a little worried. (nervously) Are things gonna be awkward now? Between us, I mean?\n\nTRENT (shrugging): Only if you let them be. We didn’t do anything wrong. All of the beds were full and I didn’t want you sleeping on the floor. So I brought you to my room, where we slept fully clothed. End of story.\n\n(Daria bites her lip nervously for a moment.)\n\nTRENT: I’m sorry about the cuddling thing. Natural instinct I guess. (small smile) You sense a warm body in your bed and you just want to feel it against you.\n\n(They stare at each other for a moment, then Daria closes her eyes and groans.)\n\nDARIA: Did we have a talk about my high school crush last night?\n\nTRENT (smiling gently): Mm-hmm\n\nDARIA: Oh God. (pulls the blankets over her head)\n\nTRENT: C’mon, I’d already figured it out. You knew that, it was just one of those unspoken things between us.\n\nDARIA (muffled): It should have stayed unspoken. (Bt) And I didn’t have to kiss you after.\n\nTRENT (grinning): Well no, I guess you didn’t.\n\nDARIA (muffled groan): I’m just going to smother myself now. Tell Jane she can have my “Sick, Sad World” DVD collection.\n\nTRENT (laugh/cough): Aw c’mon Daria, it’s not that bad.\n\nDARIA (muffled): Sure it’s not. I just made a complete ass of myself in front of one of my closest friends and tried to put the moves on him after he watched me puke my brains out and half-carried me to bed. (Bt) Thanks again for making me brush my teeth.\n\nTRENT (frowning): Daria, I don’t think any less of you for it.\n\n(Trent pauses, waiting for a reply. When there is none, he sighs.)\n\nTRENT: Would it help if I made a confession too? Leveled the playing field?\n\nDARIA (muffled): Mmm (Bt) Maybe.\n\nTRENT (deep breath): What if I told you that I kinda liked you back then too?\n\n(Daria pulls the blanket down so that we can see just her eyes. She stares at him in shock)\n\nDARIA: You did?\n\nTRENT (nodding): Yeah. You were the coolest girl I knew. Smart, funny, what was not to like?\n\nDARIA: Why didn’t you say anything?\n\nTRENT (shrugging): I didn’t think I deserved you. You were going places Daria, you still are. And I was just a slacker musician who couldn’t hold a job. (Bt) Besides, the age thing could’ve caused some big legal problems. And with your lawyer mom… (shudder) I didn’t wanna screw things up.\n\nDARIA: You could’ve told me that.\n\nTRENT: Would you’ve listened? Or would you’ve tried to talk me out of letting you go?\n\nDARIA (softly): Possibly.\n\nTRENT: And then where would we be now? You’dve gotten bored with me a long time ago. If you didn’t dump me before you went to college, you would’ve as soon as you got your first taste of college men.\n\nDARIA: Maybe not.\n\nTRENT (eyebrow raised): Really? Have you dated at all in college?\n\nDARIA (sheepishly): Um, a little bit.\n\nTRENT: And have any of them been anything like me?\n\nDARIA: Not really….\n\nTRENT: They’ve probably all been more like Tom.\n\nDARIA: Maybe, but I don’t see-\n\nTRENT: Daria, you don’t have to defend your dating habits. I was just trying to show that you’d be interested in smart, motivated men. Not losers.\n\nDARIA (pulling the blanket down so we see her frowning): You’re not a loser Trent. You had some… unmotivated years, but look at you now. You’ve got a job-\n\nTRENT: I’m a DJ Daria. Not exactly Forbes material.\n\nDARIA (annoyed): So? It pays your bills doesn’t it? And you go to work right? Think about it Trent. You get out of bed five days a week and make it to work on time. Whether you know it or not, you’ve changed a lot. You just might be, dare I say it, a responsible adult.\n\n(They stare at each other for a moment in silence.)\n\nTRENT: Maybe you’re right.\n\nDARIA: I am right.\n\nTRENT: If I admit that you’re right, will you believe me when I say that last night did not completely destroy our friendship?\n\nDARIA (hesitant): Maybe…\n\nTRENT (sighing): Alright Daria, you leave me no choice.\n\n(Daria raises an eyebrow and starts to speak. She is cut off by Trent leaning over and kissing her tenderly. He slides a hand to her neck, running his thumb along her jaw. After a nice long kiss, he pulls back, and looks at her intently.)\n\nTRENT: There, your drunken kiss is trumped by my sober one. Now any awkwardness is my fault, not yours. And if you end our friendship, it’ll be because you are completely repulsed by me. (smirk) Your move.\n\nDARIA: I hate you. (Bt) Ah hell.\n\n(She leans in and kisses him, moving her hand to his hair. He slides his hand down her side and lets it rest on her hip, pulling her closer to him. Suddenly the door flies open.. They scramble to separate as Jane barges in.)\n\nJANE (worried): Trent! Get up, I can’t find Da- (smirk) Oh… never mind. (grinning as she moves to the door.)  We’ll catch up later Daria.\n\n(Jane laughs as she closes the door behind her. Daria flops back on the pillow, groaning.)\n\nDARIA: I’m going to smother myself now.\n\nTRENT (grinning): Does that mean I can give you CPR?\n\nDARIA: Sure, laugh it up. You know she’s gonna be impossible to live with now, right?\n\nTRENT (shrugging): Was Janey ever easy to live with? (smirk) Now where were we? (Bt) Oh… yeah.\n\n(He leans down and kisses her again. She sighs as she closes her eyes.)\n\nTHE END','d6e927cdb7583faaba8161032ad844bc',0,'','7u9wek2z',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460261,31900,6,276,0,'205.188.116.17',1297270210,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Rewarding the classics','[quote=&quot;Liz Ruiz&quot;:dl32okt5][quote=&quot;RLobinske&quot;:dl32okt5]Are you going to break things out into any categories?\n\nI would suggest at least single stories and series as separate categories.[/quote:dl32okt5]\n\n\nExcellent suggestion.

I wonder if he\'s pining for the academic life he recently retired from. Even so, since I wasn\'t really feeling tempted to use the afternoon break for walking (as I normally would), I still found time to finish Ramachandran\'s [i:xaay8kn2]The Tell-Tale Brain[/i:xaay8kn2]. Would you believe I was the only one there who\'d taken an evolutionary neurology book? I know, weird.\n\nI\'m mostly over my flu/pneumonia/pleurisy/whatever.

I\'m at the GP next Tuesday for the results of sundry folks\' scrutiny of my chest x-rays.\n\nLast year, since the retreat took place in Salamanca, it was worth taking a camera; this year, with the retreat centre in a suburb of Crewe, it wasn\'t. So, no photos.\n\nAt least, that is, no photos from the retreat. After I got back and took care of my weekend duties, I went for a day off. To Amsterdam -- I\'d won a competition whose prize was some vouchers for the airport shopping outlets there, and they were due to expire. In time a cheapie fare came up for a trip from my local airport, so off I went! Got there on Sunday night, flew back on Monday evening. This time I chose a hostel that was not in the heart of clubland, so this time I got some sleep. When a clean bed and a hearty breakfast in a European capital costs me €6.98 EUR (about $9.55 USD), I don\'t mind sharing a room with five others.

It is only legend that says the wielder of it is invincible.[/spoiler:2y3orjp4][/quote:2y3orjp4]\n\nNo. [spoiler:2y3orjp4]As we saw in the Potter/Voldemort duel, [b:2y3orjp4]the wielder of the wand[/b:2y3orjp4] can be defeated by [i:2y3orjp4]disarming him of the wand[/i:2y3orjp4]. [b:2y3orjp4]That&#39;s[/b:2y3orjp4] the only way to defeat him - even if he&#39;s using the Elder Wand - because [i:2y3orjp4]you&#39;re not going after the wielder, but the Wand itself.[/i:2y3orjp4] The power of the wand, and the properties we&#39;ve seen of it, make it virtually unstoppable in a normal duel. You have to remember that this is why Harry was so recognizable in using the charm &#40;and almost certainly how Dumbledore defeated Grindenwald&#41;, because almost all other wizards/witches use other defensive and attack spells like [i:2y3orjp4]Stupefy, Crucio, Reducto[/i:2y3orjp4] and &#40;of course&#41; [i:2y3orjp4]Avada Kedavra[/i:2y3orjp4] when dueling. \n\nDumbledore&#39;s fame as a wizard was not only because of his power, but because of his intellect; he would realize that head-to-head would  not only not work but be exactly what was expected, and so, he&#39;d act in a way completely unexpected. Basically, he fought &#39;southpaw&#39; by fighting defensively and indirectly, rather than being aggressive and going directly at him.[/spoiler:2y3orjp4]\n\nI point again to Harry\'s signature spell of [i:2y3orjp4]Expelliarmus[/i:2y3orjp4] (the Disarming Charm):\n\n\n[quote:2y3orjp4]  \nThe Disarming Charm is a defensive spell [b:2y3orjp4]that aims to disarm an opponent, causing whatever is in the persons hand at the time, usually a wand, to fly out of his or her hand.[/b:2y3orjp4] It has been known to knock an opponent backwards in some cases. The charm\'s incantation is Expelliarmus. \n\n\n  &quot;Expelliarmus is a useful spell, Harry, but the Death Eaters seem to think it is your signature move, and I urge you not to let it become so!&quot; \n    —Remus Lupin discussing the Death Eaters\' knowledge of Harry Potter\'s signature spell \n\n[b:2y3orjp4]Many people considered the Disarming Charm to be the signature spell of Harry Potter.[/b:2y3orjp4] Despite being taught it by the teacher he despised the most (Severus Snape, until the events of 1997), Harry found it quite useful [b:2y3orjp4]and utilised it often in direct confrontation with another wizard.[/b:2y3orjp4] He became highly proficient with it in 1994 when practising for the Triwizard Tournament. At the end of the tournament, after he and Cedric Diggory were transported to the graveyard in Little Hangleton and Cedric was murdered, Harry faced the newly-restored Lord Voldemort in a duel. Voldemort used the Killing Curse and Harry used the Disarming Charm. Due to the natural brotherhood of Harry\'s wand and Voldemort\'s wand, both containing cores from the same source (that source being Fawkes, the pet Phoenix of Albus Dumbledore), both duellers\' spells proved ineffective, creating the rare Priori Incantatem effect which greatly contributed to Harry\'s subsequent escape.[1]\n\nMany Death Eaters witnessed this, and took to believing that it was Harry\'s signature move. In the Battle over Little Whinging, [b:2y3orjp4]they identified him as the real Harry Potter out of the &quot;seven Potters&quot; once he used the Disarming Charm against the Imperiused Stan Shunpike.[/b:2y3orjp4] Remus Lupin later chided Harry for using Expelliarmus in battle conditions, but Harry continued to value it; his argument being that hitting Stan with a stunning spell, as Lupin had suggested, could have ultimately killed him after falling from such a height. \n\nIn his final duel with Voldemort during the Battle of Hogwarts, [b:2y3orjp4]Harry again used a Disarming Charm against Voldemort\'s Killing Curse[/b:2y3orjp4], repeating the event of 1994 with the exception of a Priori Incantatem effect taking place. This time, [b:2y3orjp4]it was Harry\'s rightful ownership of the Elder Wand, being wrongly used by Voldemort,[/b:2y3orjp4] that led to Harry\'s victory. [b:2y3orjp4][u:2y3orjp4]A property of the Elder Wand, it seems, is that it will refuse to physically harm its true master. [/u:2y3orjp4][u:2y3orjp4]Should it be forced to do so, as Voldemort did, the spell cast from the wand will rebound on the caster.[/u:2y3orjp4] Hence, upon meeting Harry\'s Disarming Charm in mid-air, the Killing Curse intended for the latter, rebounded on Voldemort, killing him immediately.[/b:2y3orjp4][/quote:2y3orjp4]\n\n\n[spoiler:2y3orjp4]As you specifically pointed to prophecy - [i:2y3orjp4]and that&#39;s what Voldemort is strictly adhering to in his journey[/i:2y3orjp4] - what I said still holds true, because he would also still think that the wand would protect him; he never thought &#40;and Snape never told him&#41; that he was not the master because Snape never was &#40;and so killing him to gain mastery of the Elder Wand was a fool&#39;s exercise, because Snape never was its master. The final masters were, in descending order, Dumbledore, then Draco Malfoy, and then, Harry Potter. \n\nUsing [i:2y3orjp4]Expelliarmus[/i:2y3orjp4] was actually unnecessary; Harry could have stood still, and the [i:2y3orjp4]Killing Curse[/i:2y3orjp4] Voldemort used would have rebounded anyway to kill him where he stood.[/spoiler:2y3orjp4]','7c7c363fa627a4e1f2a3b267610fa3d7',0,'8QI=','2y3orjp4',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460327,31394,3,59,0,'98.214.72.176',1297291742,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The Completely Random Post Thread-Da Wikileaked-On Versi','[quote=&quot;Liz Ruiz&quot;:337g2d50]My sweaters are confused.[/quote:337g2d50]\n\n\n[i:337g2d50]Must... not... comment... must... not... make... bad... sweater puppies... puns...[/i:337g2d50]','e714f22d8cceb473eeedd55bf469c80f',0,'oA==','337g2d50',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460328,31866,3,1015,0,'130.86.199.38',1297292940,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Cars, fun and xenophobia!','[quote=&quot;Liz Ruiz&quot;:30wa6psc]Taco Bell, for instance.

Daria is sitting up in the bed, still dressed in her party clothes, watching Trent as he sleeps. After a moment, she leans down and kisses his cheek, then quietly slips out of the bed.)\n\n(Cut to Penny’s room. Daria walks in, carrying her boots. She casts a wary look at the bed, appearing to think for a moment.)\n\nDARIA: Shower first, then I’ll wash the bedding. (Bt) I wonder if they have any Lysol?\n\nJANE: Nah, I used the last of it to fumigate under Trent’s bed when I got home.\n\n(Daria jumps, dropping her boots as she turns. Jane is leaning in the doorway a smirk on her face.)\n\nDARIA: Jeez Jane! Are you trying to scare me to death?\n\nJANE (cocking an eyebrow): Oh I couldn’t do that, wouldn’t want to break my poor brother’s heart.\n\n(Daria’s face turns red as she looks down at her feet.)\n\nJANE: Oh, don’t go all wilting daisy on me now. You’ve got a lot of explaining to do Morgendorffer. How did you go from not interested to jumping his bones in less than a week? \n\n(There’s silence for a few moments as Jane stares at Daria expectantly. Daria doesn’t look up from the floor.)\n\nJANE: At least tell me you used protection. My brother can wait til after you graduate to ruin your life. (smirk)\n\n(Daria looks up at her, slightly annoyed.)\n\nDARIA: Nothing happened Jane! What kind of girl do you think I am?\n\nJANE: Well when I walked in this afternoon…\n\nDARIA: We were both fully clothed and kissing. Nothing else happened. End of story.\n\nJANE: Oh no, you’re not getting off that easy. There’s a lot more to this story, and I intend to hear it all.\n\n(Both girls cross their arms and stare at each other for a moment. Finally Daria sighs.)\n\nDARIA: Can I at least get a shower first? I smell like a bar. And I’d like to have a clean bed to sleep in tonight.\n\nJANE (grinning): Good luck on that, Trent isn’t exactly a neat freak. (chuckling at Daria’s glare.) Alright, alright. Go get a shower. I’ll take this toxic waste to the basement. When you’re ready, we can go buy the store out of industrial strength cleaners. We’re gonna need it to get this place back to its usual state of dumpiness.\n\n(Jane starts unmaking the bed as Daria gathers some clothing and heads for the door.)\n\nJANE: Oh, and Daria?\n\nDARIA: Yes?\n\nJANE: You may want to make that a bath instead of a shower.\n\n(Daria turns and looks at her, confused.)\n\nJANE (smirking): You still owe me a shower curtain.\n\n(Daria groans and closes her eyes.)\n\nDARIA: I forgot about that. Add it to our list.\n\n[SCENE 2]\n\n(Jane’s car. The backseat contains several bags as Jane drives through the dark Lawndale streets.)\n\nDARIA: I can’t believe you bought a case of Lysol.\n\nJANE: I can’t believe they had a case of it.\n\nDARIA: Payday is a warehouse store Jane. Cases of stuff is kind of their specialty. What are you going to do with it?\n\nJANE (smirking): Have you seen Trent’s closet? (glancing sideways) Oh, I guess you were a bit distracted the last time you were in his room, weren’t you?\n\n(Daria glares at her then looks out the window, frowning. Jane eyes her curiously then sighs as she turns back to the road.)\n\nJANE: Alright Morgendorffer, out with it. You’re head doesn’t have to be hanging off the end of my bed for me to know that look. What’s bugging you?\n\n(Daria bites her lip thoughtfully, still staring out the window.)\n\nJANE: Come on, you just spent the night with the guy you dreamed about in high school. I’d think you’d be a bit less depressed.\n\nDARIA (glumly): A guy who’s become one of my closest friends in the last few years.\n\nJANE: Even better, none of that “seems like a nice guy until you find out he likes to wear women’s underwear” crap. (grimace)\n\nDARIA: That’s what you get for picking up a guy you met outside Victoria’s Secret.\n\nJANE: I thought he’d just come out of Spencer’s! (Bt) But seriously, you and Trent know each other pretty well. That should make the transition into a relationship easier.\n\nDARIA (sighing): And what about the transition out?\n\nJANE: What do you mean?\n\n(Daria turns to look at her, sighing softly)\n\nDARIA: I mean what happens if it doesn’t work out? What’s gonna happen to that friendship? And what about us Jane? What if this thing crashes and burns? Don’t you think it might make things a bit awkward to have your brother’s ex living with you?\n\nJANE: Whoa, you spend a few hours making out with my brother and you’re already planning the break-up?\n\nDARIA: I’m just trying to be realistic here Jane. We both know that I’m not the most emotionally available person. That can cause some major problems in a relationship.\n\nJANE: And Trent knows that you’re not overly expressive Daria. He can read you a bit better than the average idiot. Now, tell me what’s really bothering you.\n\nDARIA: Trent’s a musician.\n\nJANE: Very astute observation there Sherlock.\n\nDARIA: So he’s probably had his share of groupies.\n\nJANE: Go on…\n\nDARIA (sighing): So what if last night was just another drunk girl in his bed?\n\n(Jane shakes her head slightly, chuckling)\n\nJANE: You know Daria, for a genius, you sure are dumb sometimes. (glancing sideways) Okay, let’s assume Trent has had a good number of groupies. (Bt) How many of them do you think have made it into his bed?\n\nDARIA: I don’t know…\n\nJANE: None. (grinning at Daria’s shocked expression) C’mon Daria, Trent may be a bit slow, but he’s not that dumb. Think about it. Would you want some random person from Dega Street knowing where YOU lived? (Bt) Didn’t think so. Most of Trent’s after show romps take place in the Tank or his car.\n\nDARIA: Well-\n\nJANE: Not done yet. If any of said groupies had by some stroke of luck made it to his room, do you think they would still be there at dinner time the next day?\n\nDARIA: I guess not…\n\nJANE: And would they have spent the entire night fully clothed only making out?\n\nDARIA: Probably not.\n\n(The girls ride in silence for a moment. Jane glances at Daria who is staring down at her hands.)\n\nDARIA: I’m scared Jane.\n\nJANE: Of what?\n\nDARIA: What if he doesn’t want me? He drank a lot last night, what if he was still buzzing this morning?\n\nJANE (smirking): You mean this afternoon?\n\n(Daria just bites her lip. Jane frowns, looking over at her.)\n\nJANE: Trent has a pretty good tolerance level. If anyone was likely to still be under the influence, it would be you.\n\n(Jane glances at the clock on the dashboard.)\n\nJANE: He should be up by now. Maybe I’ll just drop you off at the house and head-\n\nDARIA (panicked): No! You can’t leave me alone with him… (subdued) Not yet.\n\nJANE: Daria, you’re going to be living in the same house as him for the rest of the summer. You can’t avoid him forever.\n\nDARIA (sighing): Maybe I’ll-\n\nJANE: Oh no, you’re not heading to your parents. You’re just gonna have to suck it up Morgendorffer. I am not gonna have my best friend and my brother avoiding each other like the plague over a little kiss. Now in five years or so, if you’re avoiding each other because of restraining orders or child support, I’ll adjust.\n\n(Jane grins and Daria just glares at her.)\n\nJANE: Alright, I’ll make you a deal. I’ll stay home if you promise to talk to him.\n\nDARIA: What am I going to say to him?\n\nJANE: How about “Hey Trent, want a ride?”\n\nDARIA: JANE!!!\n\nJANE (grinning): Don’t blame me for your dirty mind.\n\n(Jane nods a head in the road. Trent is standing next to his car, the hood is up and he’s glaring at the engine. Jane pulls her car alongside his and Daria rolls down her window.)\n\nJANE: Problem?\n\nTRENT: Yeah, stalled out on me. Too dark to try and fix it right now. Guess I’m gonna have to leave it and have Max drive me out here tomorrow.\n\n(Jane elbows Daria who blushes furiously as she looks up at Trent for the first time.)\n\nDARIA: Want a ride?\n\n(Trent grins at her for a moment, which only makes her redder.)\n\nTRENT: Sure, let me get my guitar out of the trunk.\n\n(As he moves to the back of his car, Jane bursts out laughing. Daria glares at her.)\n\nDARIA: You’d better lock your bedroom door tonight Lane.\n\n(Trent shoves some bags aside to make room for himself and his guitar.)\n\nTRENT: Payday?\n\nJANE: Needed a lot of cleaning supplies after last night. (grin) And a new shower curtain.\n\nDARIA (under her breath): I’m going to use the old one to bury you Jane.\n\nTRENT: What was that?\n\nDARIA: I said I’m really sorry about that.\n\nTRENT: It’s cool Daria. Not the first time it’s happened. Probably won’t be the last. Things get kinda crazy at parties.\n\nDARIA: Yeah, alcohol has a way of making people do stupid things.\n\n(Jane looks at Trent in the mirror, just barely catching the look of confusion and hurt that flashes across his face. She glances at Daria, whose unreadable face is tilted down as she studies her hands. Shaking her head slightly, Jane changes the subject.) \n\nJANE: So what were you doing out Trent?\n\nTRENT: I was heading home from Jesse’s. We were working on some new lyrics… sudden inspiration.\n\n(Jane cocks an eyebrow and grins.)\n\nJANE: I’ll bet you boys were inspired…\n\n(Jane laughs as both Trent and Daria blush. She pulls the car into the Lane driveway.)\n\nJANE: I’m glad we found you Trent. We’re gonna need some brute strength to lift that case of Lysol out of the trunk.\n\nTRENT: Case? (frown) I just got the smell of that crap out of my room Janey.\n\nJANE: I know. The new smell is starting to make its way through the house. I’m gonna stop it before it takes over.\n\n[SCENE 3]\n\n(Penny’s room, later that night. Daria sits at the desk with her back to the door. Her laptop is open and she appears to be browsing the web. There’s a knock at the door.)\n\nDARIA (annoyed): For the last time Jane I do not want to go bar hopping. I don’t care if popping in the contacts and dolling myself up will guarantee me some “action”. I am perfectly content to die alone with my glasses.\n\nTRENT (opening the door): That’s okay, I think the glasses are pretty hot myself.\n\n(Daria spins around in the chair, blushing as he grins at her.)\n\nDARIA: I’m sorry… Jane’s been bugging me since we got back. I thought it was her again.\n\nTRENT: Nah, Janey left a few minutes ago. She roped Jesse and Max into going out with her.\n\nDARIA: Oh. (fidgeting a bit) So, what’s up?\n\nTRENT: Can we… you know, talk for a minute?\n\nDARIA: Sure. Come on in.\n\n(Trent enters the room, he looks around for a moment, then sits on the edge of the desk. Daria turns to face him, obviously a bit uncomfortable with him being so close.)\n\nTRENT: About what happened…\n\n(Daria looks down at her hands.)\n\nDARIA: Its okay Trent, you don’t have to say it.\n\nTRENT: I don’t?\n\nDARIA: No, you don’t. I understand. You had a lot to drink, and with me taking fashion advice from Quinn, you were easily confused. No hard feelings. We can still be friends.\n\nTRENT: Is that what you want?\n\nDARIA (a bit strained): Of course.\n\nTRENT: Cause I sure as hell don’t.\n\nDARIA (voice shaking): Oh… well…\n\nTRENT: Dammit Daria! \n\n(Trent kneels down in front of her. Daria turns her head to the side and hastily tries to wipe away the tears that are starting to fall. Trent takes both of her hands in one of his.)\n\nTRENT: Look at me.\n\n(When she doesn’t, Trent raises his other hand to her chin, gently turning her head. She bites her lip as their eyes meet.)\n\nTRENT: Daria when I kissed you today I was stone cold sober. I’ll admit, you did look hot last night, but I think you look just as hot every day. \n\n(He wipes a tear from her cheek with his thumb, then moves so both of his hands are on her hands.)\n\nTRENT: Daria you are one of the smartest and most amazing women I know. I’d be crazy to tell you that I don’t wanna find out where this is going. But if you don’t want me, just say the word. I already told you, if our friendship falls to pieces, it will be because you don’t want me around. Just tell me what you want.\n\nDARIA: Tell me how this can possibly work. We’re so different Trent.\n\nTRENT: Opposites attract.\n\nDARIA: And when the new car smell wears off?\n\nTRENT: It’s still a great car.\n\nDARIA: I’m stubborn.\n\nTRENT: I’m pretty laid back, so I won’t be trying to change your mind too often.\n\nDARIA: I’m pretty set in my ways, I like things done just so.\n\nTRENT (shrugging): I could probably stand to be retrained in a few areas.\n\nDARIA: My growth is stunted, physically and emotionally.\n\nTRENT: You’re just more subtle. I’m a musician. I’m sensitive to changes in mood. And I think you’re perfect physically.\n\nDARIA: I’m going to be harder than hell to get in bed.\n\nTRENT (grinning): I’ve already had you in my bed. (Bt) Besides, I’ve waited this long, why rush things now?\n\nDARIA: I’m-\n\nTRENT (eyebrow raised): Trying to talk me out of this and it’s not working. Question is, are you really trying to convince me or you?\n\nDARIA: I don’t know. What if-\n\nTRENT (shaking his head): Nuh-uh. We’re not playing the what-if game. I’m not letting you talk yourself through our break-up before we’re even a couple.\n\nDARIA: When the summer ends?\n\nTRENT: We’ll worry about that when it comes. Don’t worry about the future, we can’t change it anyway. What do you want right now?\n\n(Daria stares down at him, biting her lip nervously. Trent watches her intently for a while, then sighs. He looks down at the floor and takes a deep breath. He squeezes her hands gently and starts to lean back so he can stand.)\n\nDARIA (softly): You.\n\n(Trent’s head snaps back up and he stares at her in shock.)\n\nDARIA (her voice cracking as she almost whispers): I want you.\n\n(Trent caresses her cheek looking her in the eye as he speaks slowly and deliberately.)\n\nTRENT: And I….Want…. You. Don’t ever doubt that Daria.\n\nDARIA: But I am scared to death Trent.\n\nTRENT: Then we’ll take it slow. \n\nDARIA: So now what?\n\n(Trent thinks a moment then smiles)\n\nTRENT: Pizza.\n\nDARIA: Pizza?\n\nTRENT: Yes, pizza. Daria would you like to go out for some pizza? No strings attached. Just two friends going out on a non-date for a slice of pizza and casual conversation.\n\nDARIA (small smile): I’d like that Trent. Just let me wash my face, I probably look like hell.\n\n(Trent grins at her as he stands.)\n\nTRENT: Alright, I’ll leave you to getting ready. Meet me downstairs in about 10 minutes?\n\n(Daria nods and Trent walks away. He steps into the hall and starts to pull the door shut behind him, but stops, glancing over his shoulder.)\n\nTRENT: Daria?\n\nDARIA: Yes?\n\nTRENT: What do you think my chances are of taking you home tonight?\n\n(He laughs and pulls the door shut, just as a pillow hits it.)\n\nTHE END','6946566276fd50328b2f25d3e10db80f',0,'','1g2pt9ni',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460351,31866,3,1097,0,'149.171.7.45',1297311668,1,0,1,0,1,1,'','Re: Cars, fun and xenophobia!','[quote=&quot;Deref&quot;:32v8m56f][quote=&quot;J-D&quot;:32v8m56f]The trouble with good English food is not that it doesn\'t exist but that it is (or at least historically was) hard to find [i:32v8m56f]even in England[/i:32v8m56f].[/quote:32v8m56f]\nI beg to differ.\n\nArmed with nothing but the clothes we stood up in and a copy of the Bible (The Good Beer Guide), the redoubtable Father Martin and I pub crawled our way across the UK and ate like kings.

Twice was enough for me, unlike [i:3zvrrbaj]some[/i:3zvrrbaj] people in this room,&quot;  Jane turned to her big brother.\n\n&quot;Hey now, at least all of my divorces are official and my current marriage is one hundred percent legal thanks to our soon to be sister-in-law\'s mother.  Man, is she a bulldog in court - even got my alimony reduced.  Which has helped me out a lot.  Now, I am back in college to get my teaching degree,&quot;  Wind said with a smile.  &quot;How are the kids, Summer?&quot;\n\n&quot;Great -  Video posts of Adrian and Courtney\'s adventures were such a hit on YouTube that they were given their own podshow by The Adventure Channel.  Jackson and Alexis both made the Honor Roll and got asked to attend Grove Hills next fall.  What about you, Jane.  How\'s the art world treating you?&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, I had my first solo exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art two months ago to great reviews and awesome sales and I\'ve been asked by BFAC if I would return as a guest speaker next month.  So, I can\'t complain.&quot;\n\nWind gave a slight laugh and shook his head.  &quot;I still can\'t believe they are taking the plunge.&quot;\n\n&quot;You would think watching our marriages go to hell in handbaskets, they would just live together for the rest of their lives.  I\'m just glad they found each other,&quot;  Summer remarked.\n\n&quot;You know though, I think these two actually have a chance to make it.  The Morgendorffers are one of those families whose in it for the long haul, despite the other person\'s shortcomings.  I mean, Helen and Jake just celebrated their thirtieth anniversary and they are polar opposites.  Her grandparents were each married for over fifty years and they were all nutjobs.  Daria and Kevin have been married now for eight years and she\'s a best-selling novelist while his brain is as thick as a brick wall.  So yeah, I can see them going the distance,&quot;  Jane replied.\n\n&quot;You\'re just happy because you will finally be able to call her your sister,&quot;  Summer said.  Walking towards the stairs, Summer looked at her two siblings.  &quot;We better head upstairs.  The ceremony will be starting soon and we want to make sure all of the guests are confortable.&quot;\n\nJane checked the clock and quickly moved up the stairs.  &quot;You\'re right.  I need to let the happy couple know that it\'s t-minus thirty minutes and counting.&quot;\n\nAs all the guests were seated and the wedding party began to make their way to the infamous Lane gazebo.  As Jesse played the wedding march, the happy couple made their way down the aisle.  Trent and Penny walked down together with smiles on their faces followed shortly behind by Quinn and Jake.

She quickly hopped in.\n\n	“That away, fast,” Daria said pointing forward.\n\n	Flooring the accelerator petal, Tom replied, “Okay, boss,” imitating a thirties movie goon. Tires smoking, the Jag leapt into the street like its namesake. The abused wheels screeched in protest as they rounded the corner. After another quick left, Tom slowed down.\n\n	“I think we lost ‘em,” he said still in character. \n\n	“I think so too, Mugsy,” Daria said humorously. \n\n	Tom eased through a yield sign. “So, how many bodies did you leave behind?” he asked in his normal voice. \n\n	“No murders,” she replied. “An escape. Mom has a rare day off and I overheard her and Dad planning family fun time.”\n\n	“Yikes,” Tom chuckled.\n\n	“Yes,” Daria agreed. “I tiptoed back upstairs, called you, than slipped out the back door. I hid on the side of the house until you drove up. You came just in time. Mom was calling for me.”\n\n	Tom nodded but the small smile that was on his face vanished. “Are you certain that you want to duck out on your parents?” he asked somberly. \n\n	Daria looked at him in stunned amazement. “They were talking about miniature golf, Tom,” she said scornfully. \n\n	“Ouch,” he replied. \n\n	“Ouch, is right,” Daria said. “What’s with you today? You act as if I should spend the day with my family.”\n\n	“Family is important,” he said.\n\n	“Yeah, right,” she replied. “It’s important listening to Quinn’s running complaints about sunscreen and Dad ranting about how his father never spent time with him or Mom fielding a call from her office every five minutes.”\n\n	“I just thought that maybe you’d want to be with your family a bit more is all,” he replied. “We’ll be leaving soon.” \n\n	His odd behavior caused Daria to look closely at her boyfriend. Despite her uncaring reputation and need for very strong glasses, she was observant. Emotions and motivations not driven by reason were difficult for her to grasp at times but telltale physical clues she readily processed. Tom’s fingers clearly showed that he was gripping the steering wheel tighter than normal and his trapezius muscle betrayed a certain tension, as did his jawline. \n\n	“What’s wrong, Tom?” she asked in genuine concern. \n\n	He stayed silent for several moments before finally sighing. “A little brouhaha at home this morning.”\n\n	“Oh?”\n\n	 “I told my parents that I’m not going to Bromwell,” Tom said brusquely after a moment.\n\n	“You’re not going to Bromwell?” Daria exclaimed. “Why not?”\n\n	“Chili cheese fries?” Tom asked pulling into a Burger Barn parking lot. \n\n	Daria arched an eyebrow. “An explanation that requires a food bribe.”\n\n	Tom smiled. “Everyone has his price.” \n\n	“True,” Daria agreed opening her door. “But mine is high. I want the large basket.”  \n\n	They got their food and sat down in a back booth before they returned to the subject. \n\n	“So, no Bromwell for Tom,” was Daria’s opening volley. \n\n 	“It’s not as if it were a tradition,” Tom quipped. “Only eight generations of Sloanes have gone there, the first one graduating before the Revolution.” \n\n	“I guess the question is why,” Daria said. \n\n	“Why was my parents’ big question,” Tom replied. “And I can understand their confusion. To them, they have handed me the world on a platter. Why would I walk away from that?” \n\n	Daria snagged another fry.  “Why would you?”\n\n	“Try this, Daria,” Tom seriously replied. “Presume I go to Bromwell; sketch the next fifty years for me.”\n\n	She thought for a moment. “Four years at Bromwell,” she started. “Probably a BA in Economics or perhaps East Asian Studies since everyone says that is where the near future business world’s epicenter will be. Maybe a graduate degree or law school although neither is truly necessary for you. That’ll be followed with a few years with either your family’s firm or one similar. After that, some government service as many previous Sloanes have done if a Republican is in the White House. Your Dad was what again; some Assistant Commerce Secretary?” \n\n	“An Assistant Treasury Secretary for the first two years of Bush’s administration,” Tom said. \n\n	“Right,” Daria said with a nod. “Then spend the next several decades at Grace, Sloane, &amp; Page nurturing the family fortune while along the way marrying appropriately, having one to three children one of which has to be a son, and vacationing at the Cove.” \n\n	“The Sloane blueprint for the last hundred or so years,” Tom concurred.\n\n	“But you don’t want that,” Daria guessed.\n\n	Tom took a long sip of his soda before answering. “I’ve had a very privileged upbringing,” he began quietly.  “I don’t deny this and despite what Mom and Dad think right now, I am very grateful for it. I have a very stable home life with parents and even a sister who love me. I’ve never wanted for anything.  There is no one on this planet that has it better than I do.” \n	\n	“No argument here,” Daria said. “But you’re prepared to toss all of that away.”\n\n	“No,” he replied then chuckled apologetically. “All in all, your sketch is fairly close to what my parents and the rest of the family expects of me and the truth is it’s not a bad life. Many people would call it dull but few would call it terrible. All I\'m planning to do is delay walking down that road for a few years.”\n\n	Daria frowned in thought. “So it’s just Bromwell that you’re rejecting. Is this one last little act of pseudo rebellion like the pinto?”\n\n                 &quot;No,&quot; Tom growled.\n\n                 &quot;All right,&quot; Daria said. &quot;If not Bromwell then where?”\n\n	“The US Coast Guard Academy,” Tom answered directly looking her in the eye trying to gauge her reaction. \n\n	The reply took Daria off-guard. Crestmore perhaps, she thought; maybe a dozen other elite schools but not a service academy. Lawndale State would have been less surprising. \n\n	“So the guy who once joked to me that the Sloanes did not serve in wars, they profit from them is going into the military,” she said slowly.  “Okay, let’s hear the why.”\n\n	“Short answer,” he replied. “I got in there on my own.”\n\n	“Don’t you have to be appointed by a Congressman or Senator?” Daria asked.\n\n	“Not to the Coast Guard Academy,” Tom told her. “It’s one of the most difficult schools in the country to get accepted into and you get in strictly on test scores and evaluations. They don’t care if your father is wealthy or if an uncle donated a wing or if a Senator owes your family a favor.”\n\n	“So this is about what?” she asked. \n\n	Tom\'s brow puckered in thought as he tried to find the words to articulate what he felt. He wanted his parents to understand but to his surprise, it was as important to him that Daria appreciated his yearning. “Up until now and for the rest of my life, because of my family’s wealth, influence, and prestige, doors will be opened for me,” he said in naked honesty. “I want to know, I [i:2n390o7l][b:2n390o7l]need[/b:2n390o7l][/i:2n390o7l] to know, that if I had to, I could open those doors on my own.”\n\n	Daria shoved aside her normal reticence and reached across the table giving his hand a quick tiny squeeze. “Tom, trust me, most of what will come your way will be because of you not your last name,” she said with an open smile. “You are a good guy as well as an intelligent and truly decent one.”\n\n	“You think that even after last summer,” he asked.\n\n	Daria shook her head. “We live, we learn,” she replied. “But yes, I think that. Look at today, you have trouble with your parents and it bothered you to the point to where I brought up the reason behind my escape you were concerned that I don\'t create a rift in my family. From where I sit, that\'s a caring person and a sweet one too.” \n\n	“Thank you,” he replied both touched and more then a little surprised that Daria would use the word sweet. \n\n	“But?” she asked after several moments of silence.\n\n	“But some things you still just have to prove to yourself,” he replied.\n\n	Daria nodded sagely. “Obviously, I can’t empathize with your situation, Tom, but I think I can understand it,” she said. “And I believe that once your parents calm down after your little bombshell, they will also.”  \n\n	“I hope so,” he replied apprehensively. \n\n	“If their biggest disappointment in you is that you choose a different university then the one they wanted you to attend, than they have little to complain about,” Daria said. “How many of their friends have had to bail their kids out of jail at two in the morning or send them to rehab?” \n\n	“More than a few,” he replied. \n\n	“How are they going to complain about you to those people?” she asked rhetorically. “Besides half the members of their club are yachters, aren’t they? You can believe that they have a lot of respect for the Coast Guard. After they give it a little thought, your parents would be going through their rolodex-finding people to brag to about you. They’ll insist that you wore your midshipman’s uniform for this year’s Christmas card.”   \n\n	Tom laughed lightly. “The students at the Coast Guard Academy are called cadets.”\n\n	Daria slid from the booth. “C’mon, Cadet Sloane,” she said. “You need to go home. Just drop me off first.”\n\n	“What about family fun day?” Tom asked as he stood. \n\n	“August isn’t that far away,” she replied. “I can endure a couple of them between now and then.”\n\n	“What doesn’t kill us,” he joked. \n\n	Daria cocked her head slightly. “I think this will make you stronger,” she said with low-key earnest. “I think you’ll emerge a better man for it if no other reason than quelling this odd ember of self-doubt of yours.” \n\n	Feeling a weight lift from him, Tom smiled, leaned down, and kissed her.','54cc479005202f6c133aae644711f974',0,'YQ==','2n390o7l',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460368,30386,3,849,0,'67.142.162.24',1297328029,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Hey, little note from TAG','I agree.  <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D -->','13a38c978eb1c6100e6e440f11a77cec',0,'','2tw7rt78',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460369,31914,4,59,0,'98.214.72.176',1297328900,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','MLB player: \'We kind of hope Michael Vick gets hurt...\'','[url=http&#58;//sports&#46;yahoo&#46;com/mlb/blog/big_league_stew/post/Dog-lover-Mark-Buehrle-said-he-had-hope-Vick-w?urn=mlb-319165:256xtun6]... and the fact that he paid his debt to society[/url:256xtun6] - went to prison (for what some people felt [url=http&#58;//thesportslawprofessor&#46;blogspot&#46;com/2007/12/vicks-sentence-too-long&#46;html:256xtun6]was a longer sentence that the crime merited[/url:256xtun6]), [url=http&#58;//sports&#46;yahoo&#46;com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Michael-Vick-on-60-Minutes-I-deserved-to-lose?urn=nfl-183165:256xtun6]lost well in excess of one hundred million dollars[/url:256xtun6] as a result of his actions, and will forever be looked down upon by society. \n\n\nNevertheless - he still hasn\'t paid enough of a debt to society, in the eyes of some people.\n\n\nThere is no case for saying nice things about Vick - save that he pleaded guilty, served his time, accepted responsibility for being an asshat who hurt animals and now deserves to move on and try to do better. \n\nYet still, some people feel he hasn\'t been punished enough.\n\nThis is why are rapidly losing faith in the system - those, of course, who haven\'t given up on it already. (Personally, every single time I look at my legs, I can tell you that I have [b:256xtun6]vanishingly little faith[/b:256xtun6] in the American legal system, and I thank God that I haven\'t developed developed an abject hatred of it and everyone involved with it. You can\'t blame everybody for what several have done to you - but when you look around and see it happening over and over and over on an institutionalized basis, everywhere you turn...)\n\n\nI also think it\'s hypocritical of people like this baseball player and his wife, who are avid dog lovers and help with the animal community, to bitch (pardon the pun) about their desire to see Vick punished even more than the law and common sense allows. How many people can honestly say that a personal fine well in excess of one hundred million dollars is an acceptable amount for [b:256xtun6]any[/b:256xtun6] crime - and yet, these people feel that he should also be deprived of his health and ability to make a living, which is dependent upon being healthy. \n\nThis is the problem with our country. We don\'t know how to let go anymore. We don\'t know how to accept our own laws and the way they work. We don\'t know how to see past the bad and look for a possible good. (For example - how about these two ask Vick to come up and do some volunteer work an a \'no-kill\' shelter, or do some work with abused animals - something that could help and be a \'teaching moment\'? No, these people - like a lot of people in our country, on a lot of differing subjects - want to keep the cycle going.)\n\nWhen does it stop? When do you stop paying for a crime, especially when you\'ve paid so much already? Are we really going to say that any animal - or any person - is of such worth that their loss should be worth the forfeiture of over one hundred million dollars... and if you believe that it is, than why do we not hear more of an outcry when corporations blatantly and callously kill off people on a daily basis in an number of ways, or cause them physical harm and leave them to suffer, forcing them to do unspeakable things in order simply to survive? Where is the righteous indignation from people like this player for them?\n\n... or is it that we only feel offended, inspired and compelled to hold hate-filled grudges when it\'s something (as Quinn would say) that we think is (to our eyes) cute and lovable? \n\n\nEnd of rant.','6114aa9c72e66105ecfa5229135d9347',0,'UA==','256xtun6',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460370,31915,8,573,0,'137.226.12.193',1297332309,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','robots.txt','Hi y\'all,\nI just noticed that\n<!-- m --><a class=\"postlink\" href=\"http://www.thepaperpusher.net/robots.txt\">http://www.thepaperpusher.net/robots.txt</a><!-- m -->\n404s, e.g. no [url=http&#58;//en&#46;wikipedia&#46;org/wiki/Robots&#46;txt:nu446hak]robots.txt[/url:nu446hak] is in place.

Oh yeah, and Robin forgot to send in Titan Tower\'s monthly bill for the Brinks Home Security system so they turned it off. Remind him to be more careful next time.\n\nRaven: I will.  \n\nBatman: You’ve been hard at work.\n\nRaven: I have.\n\nBatman: Making any progress?\n\nRaven: (looking at the labyrinth of papers on her desk) No. Of course, I bet you already know who the murderer is, don’t you?\n\nBatman: Maybe.\n\nRaven: I thought so. I’ve come to a dead end. No surprises there, eh?\n\nBatman: I hope you don’t mind, but I took the liberty of going through your research. It’s not bad. You made some very fine deductions from your autopsies at the morgue.\n\nRaven: Thanks, but I can\'t connect the dots. I only have one tentative suspect, but no motive, weapon or M.O.\n\nBatman: I [i:3112viid]could[/i:3112viid] answer the riddle for you and tell you who the killer is.\n\nRaven: (as though to herself) It would save a lot of trouble and maybe a few lives.\n\nBatman: Well, you tell me who [i:3112viid]you[/i:3112viid] think it is, what he or she will do next and I’ll tell you if you’re getting warmer or colder. How about that?\n\nRaven: Fair enough. Well, it’s obvious that the serial killer is targeting Nisdey Channel stars, so I’ve asked Robin and Beast Boy to do security detail on their next probable target: Miley Cyprus, who is currently on a world tour.\n\nBatman: OK, go on.\n\nRaven: My main suspect is Lezzie McGuire’s cartoon alter ego. She went into hiding after dismembering dozens of people in a psychotic rage at the Lezzie McGuire &quot;Dream Large&quot; concert in Rome, but again, this brings up more questions than answers. Why would she strike now after all these years?\n\nBatman: Bitterness, jealousy. It’s absolutely reasonable.\n\nRaven: But why would she kill Nisdey stars? Hilary Dorff said that Cartoon Lezzie had the most resentment for her fans, whom she characterized as contemptible zombies armed with their parent’s credit card, and the Nisdey executives, who strip mine the life energy from their talent before moving on.  She regards other Nisdey stars as fellow victims of the same machine.\n\nBatman: Is she your only suspect?\n\nRaven: Well, Kim Probable did accuse Daria of being the killer.\n\nBatman: Do you believe her?\n\nRaven: I don’t know. In some ways it makes more sense than Cartoon Lezzie, but …\n\nBatman: But you’d rather not go there. \n\nRaven: Yes.\n\nBatman: But you also know that as a detective, you have to consider the weight of the evidence without regard to personal loyalties.\n\nRaven: Yes.\n\nBatman: But you are also aware of the corrosive effects of suspecting your own allies and you’re ashamed at your lack of faith in her--\n\nRaven: Yes.\n\nBatman: --which in turn is undermining your self-confidence to solve this case.\n\nRaven: Yes. “Whom shall I honor?” “How shall I judge others?” It’s a very old story.\n\nBatman: I know you want to solve this case on your own, but how about I give you a hint?\n\nRaven: That sounds a lot like cheating.\n\nBatman: It’s not. I assure you. If you would like to interrogate Cartoon Lezzie, she’s being held at Nisdey Headquarters in the psychiatric ward.\n\nRaven: Thank you. \n\nBatman: It’s dangerous, you know.\n\nRaven: Well, [i:3112viid]you’d[/i:3112viid] go there if you thought that it would helps solve a crime, wouldn’t you?\n\n(She turns around but he is gone.

You like science, right?”\n\nDaria blinked. “The last time you took me to a museum, I was ten.

She, on the other hand, was going with embarrassment and [i:cj5l02qa]desperately[/i:cj5l02qa] trying to hide it – her parents were [i:cj5l02qa]trying[/i:cj5l02qa]. Letting them realise how badly they were failing would be like kicking a puppy in the face with steel-tipped boots.\n\n“Sure, I can catch up with TV later.

The first was that she really loved the track part of it, getting to run and beat people and get congratulated for her prowess; even [i:cj5l02qa]Morris[/i:cj5l02qa] was cheerleading her now. The second thing was she really, [i:cj5l02qa]really[/i:cj5l02qa] didn’t like the [i:cj5l02qa]team[/i:cj5l02qa] part of it. \n\nThere was the irritating undercurrent of jealousy from some of them, people who didn’t like being shown up, but she’d known to expect that. She’d forgotten, however, that she’d be hanging around with jocks, ones semi-high up the school’s hierarchy. It was a world she normally avoided but, this time, had to listen to in mind-boggling detail.\n\n“And she’s actually [i:cj5l02qa]going out with Brian[/i:cj5l02qa],” scoffed Siobhan (don’t call her Chipmunk don’t call her Chipmunk ignore the chipmunk-ear shaped hair buns CHIPMUNK [i:cj5l02qa]CHIPMUNK[/i:cj5l02qa]). “I mean, [i:cj5l02qa]really.[/i:cj5l02qa] He doesn’t have a car and he totally [i:cj5l02qa]blew[/i:cj5l02qa] that last basketball game…”\n\n“She must be [i:cj5l02qa]desperate[/i:cj5l02qa],” snorted Jennifer. “But at least she hasn’t resorted to slutting out like [i:cj5l02qa]some[/i:cj5l02qa] people…”\n\n“Tanada, right?” sniggered Les, a guy who was apparently in Jane’s classes but she’d never realised until now. “She got some of the Lions, but now she’s trying to have them [i:cj5l02qa]in public[/i:cj5l02qa] – pbbt, like any of them would go that far… You heard about that, Jane?”\n\n“Can’t say I had,” Jane snoozed.\n\nSiobhan gave her a look of [i:cj5l02qa]pity[/i:cj5l02qa]. “Well, here’s the basics: Tanada, who recently broke up with Ryan, has-“\n\n“[i:cj5l02qa]Evan![/i:cj5l02qa]” Jane waved at the approaching runner, hoping to god he’d have a new topic of conversation. “How’s tricks?”\n\n“If I practice, I can saw Ms Morris in half.” He gave her a smile. “Know anywhere good to hide the pieces?”\n\n“O’Neill’s class. They might think he did it. Two birds!”\n\n“Smart!” \n\n“That’s disgusting,” said Jennifer.\n\n“And they wouldn’t think he did it, because he’d freak out and have a heart attack at the sight,” said Les. “Better put it in DeMartino’s class.”\n\nJennifer looked like she intended to say that was still disgusting, but the rest of the team decided Les’ idea was a good one. All of them sounded [i:cj5l02qa]really[/i:cj5l02qa] keen on the idea of framing DeMartino and having him sent away, which Jane didn’t find surprising – [i:cj5l02qa]jocks don’t like DeMartino? I’m SHOCKED. And I hear there’s gambling at Rick’s establishment[/i:cj5l02qa] – but found a little uncomfortable. She vaguely liked the man, he was amusing.\n\nLuckily for her, Evan changed the conversation: “So Jane, doing anything tonight?”\n\n[i:cj5l02qa]Ohhhhhhh wwwwwoooooooowwwwww.[/i:cj5l02qa]\n\n“Eating and sleeping.” She flashed a grin. “Got anything better?”\n\n“As a matter of fact, there’s this nice little restaurant…”\n\nOkay. Not [i:cj5l02qa]all[/i:cj5l02qa] of the “team” part was bad.\n\n\n---\n\n\nEveryone was seated at the dinner table; they’d even got Erin out of her stupor. Helen gave Jake a nervous look, and then said, slowly, “today I think it would be interesting if we discussed classic literature”.\n\nQuinn got up and left the table.\n\n“So… The Grapes of Wrath. That sure is a classic of American literature and an indictment of the Great Depression and the suffering of the Oaks!”\n\n“Oakies,” muttered Erin, eating her dinner with robot-like pace.\n\n“Right! Them! So…”\n\nThere was a long, embarrassed pause. Both adults looked at Daria expectantly. She looked back.\n\n“What do [i:cj5l02qa]you[/i:cj5l02qa] think of it, sweetie?”\n\n[i:cj5l02qa]Do I answer honestly or pretend the book’s about space aliens to see if they’ll notice? Hmmm.[/i:cj5l02qa]\n\n“Well, it is an admirably unrestrained – for the time – take on the conditions of the Okies. And, of course, a vicious attack on how big farms exploited the desperate and destitute workers-“\n\nHer parents sat bolt upright.\n\n“Oh my god, WE HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK!” roared Jake, fire in his eyes.\n\nDaria thought for a second. “I bet the library has a copy-“\n\nHelen and Jake rushed out to the car, off to drive out to the (closed) library, leaving Daria in peace as planned. She sat back to enjoy the food, then realised Erin was still sat next to her, showing no sign of noticing what had happened.\n\n“So… Erin. Erm, how’s things?”\n\nErin started to dry heave but, for once, nothing came out.\n\n“I’m assuming that’s the result of drinking too much and not a deliberate act of narrative irony.”\n\n“Whatever,” she muttered. “Not like I’ve got anything else to do.”\n\n“That’s [i:cj5l02qa]true[/i:cj5l02qa], but… um… In retrospect, I’m not the best person in the world to ask ‘how’s things’.”\n\nErin looked at her, her eyes unreadable, and finally sighed. “Well, you [i:cj5l02qa]did[/i:cj5l02qa] ask. It’s been a while since anyone else did.” Pause. “Thanks.”\n\nDaria didn’t know how to react to that, to it being out in the open how depressed and abandoned her cousin felt, to what being thanked in this context meant. She didn’t know how to reply. \n\nSo, on instinct, she asked “Want to watch a really lurid and pointlessly violent movie?” instead.\n\n“Sure.”\n\nThe two moved to the lounge. As the DVD started up, Daria’s phone rang: Jane.\n\n“Hey. We’re watching Orgy Of The Blood Parasites – if you hurry, you can catch the scene with the exploding kidneys.”\n\n“Can’t,” replied Jane, odd sounds in the background. “On a date with Evan-“\n\n“[i:cj5l02qa]What?![/i:cj5l02qa] Erm. I mean… well, I mean ‘what?!’ really.”\n\n“Uh-huh. Thanks for the vote of confidence. He’s a fun guy to be with, it’s nice. Aaaanyway: my first track meet’s tomorrow. It’d mean a lot if you came along.”\n\n“Have a chance to avoid my parent’s next ‘we are good parents right?’ plan. Sold.” \n\nAfter Daria hung up, Erin asked: “Exploding kidneys?”\n\n“Hmmm. I’ll get you a paper bag.”','09355df6be2b1a7f260c7a92a77b25f4',0,'YQ==','cj5l02qa',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460375,30386,3,1108,0,'86.164.210.84',1297336523,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Hey, little note from TAG','[quote=&quot;project pegasus&quot;:kynzsdww]Damn, without TAG around, this place feels like the Justice League without Superman.[/quote:kynzsdww]\n\n[quote=&quot;GingerLove84&quot;:kynzsdww]How about someone starts an Iron Chef to out-angst him?

Yeah, me too. I don\'t like them, never had. Doesn\'t stop me from writing one myself. The only difference is, this one\'s true. Yep, it is.\n\nI would love to tell you how I was hit by some lightning and woke up in the Dariaverse, I really would. Because while that hurts like hell, it\'s damned cool. Not as cool as destroying cars with Molotov cocktails and kicking ass, but cool in a Jason Statham Badass way. Well, yeah, I like that guy, I think if I ever became gay I would crush on him.\n\nHowever, back to the topic.\n\nI wasn\'t hit by lightning, I never fell into a colorful void; I just went to sleep and woke up the next day in a house I did not recognize and back into my sixteen year old self. It sucks, I tell you, it really does.\n\nWhatever you have ever read about self-inserts, don\'t believe them. The first thing you will do is panic and go into hysterics, at least that’s what I did. The day before I had to shave every damn day, after waking up I didn\'t even had a shadow of stubbles in my face. And I really liked my beard. Dammit.\n\nI lived in a flat in the most northern city in Germany, and after waking up I was in some small town somewhere in the fucking USA. Nothing against the people here, I really like most of them, but god they\'re stupid sometimes. And what\'s up with all the patriotism? And have you ever heard of real bread? I\'m not talking about this tasteless white stuff I would call toast, I\'m talking about real bread. Or a good cake NOT made with tons of sugar? And come on, why shouldn\'t I be allowed to drink when I\'m allowed to go to war for a country I can\'t even stand?\n\nHave I told you that I grew up in a kinda anti-American family? I mean, my real family, not the guys I live with in Lawndale. Back home I had two brothers and two sisters, here I\'m an only child. Or at least, that\'s what everybody says I am.\n\nI got distracted again ranting about America, didn\'t I? Sorry about that, I kinda still in the fraking out phase of the whole self-insert-thingie. The second one; the first one I had right after waking up. This is the second, after I met Daria and Jane and all the other guys and after being drunk after drinking with a bunch of punks and misfits.\n\nAnd let me tell you, whatever you ever thought about the cartoon figures on MTV, let me tell you two words: Way hotter.\n\nI\'m sixteen again; I\'m allowed to think that way. Self-insert in a universe full of smoking hot teenage girls? I would give me a high-five if I could.\n\nClad in German army boots with red shoelaces, black jeans, and Dropkick Murphys hoodie, I had attempted to fit into the most American experience ever: high school. And let me tell you, it sucks, especially if you\'re new and being called Nazi by some idiots because of my German accent. Hello, I have black and green hair, idiots.\n\nAnd yes, DeMartino really is such a nutjob as everybody thinks he is, but he cares and tries to really teach something. I kinda like him, in a twisted way of amusement and genuine interest of history. And I had worse teachers, I really had. Like O\'Neill. That guy didn\'t even try to give me any homework after I faked sleep.\n\nBut the best thing happening to me today: Lunch period. Sounds crazy, doesn\'t it? Well, it was.\n\nLooking for somewhere to sit, I just walked up to some other punks and misftits and sat down, right in the middle of them. I had, and still have, no idea how the politics at Lawndale High really works, how the cliques work, and so on.\n\nI only know that right after sitting down, eleven confused and kinda angry looks hit me. Not that I really cared, back then I was in the god-mod phase of the self-insert. I thought I could do anything. Kinda like when you play a shooter video game and cheat yourself immortal.\n\nKnowing that I had to do something about my social standing, I did the first thing coming into my mind: I took my pipe out of my pocket, lit it and inhaled the smoke, enjoying the taste and ignoring everyone... right before I slammed my pudding into the face of my neighbor. That alone would have been enough, but some crazy bitch with wild hair jumped onto the table and screamed: “FOOD FIGHT!!!”\n\nThen everything went crazy and the next thing I really know is, that I was sitting in detention together with the Maleficent, Killer Quinn and Death Rowe. It was one hell of a party after that.\n\nAnd I found out, that American teenagers can\'t drink. At least not as much as someone “in training”. It\'s like being knighted when the most hardcore anarchist in fanfiction are unconscious from too much drinking and I\'m still going on. Killer was the last to go down, of course.\n\nOh, and Charles RB?

After a phone call to his sister, he resolved to tough it out.   Success wasn\'t assured.  Every actor had setbacks.  Setbacks on the stage could be dealt with.\n\nIt was the other setback that had stopped him.  When Buttons offered him emotional comfort, he drank it down like a man lost in the desert.  This would have been the perfect, most plausible time for a breakup (&quot;You [i:1822pxr6]don\'t understand me[/i:1822pxr6], Buttons!&quot;)  It was a situation like those situations where he thought of the perfect comeback to an insult twenty minutes after the party was over.  He could have just dumped Buttons right then and there, and taken all of his misery and drank it down like a distasteful shot of liquor, cried, and recovered at his leisure.\n\nThe next morning, he knew that he had to break up with Buttons and had to break up with her then.  He prepared all of his lines. He walked over to her dorm.  He waited for her to come down to the lobby.  He knew that failing to plan was planning to fail, as his sister said.  He had Quinn\'s love and support and he had his post-Buttons future all lined up.  \n\nThen she came down to the lobby, and she looked at him and then...everything went off script.\n\n(* * *)\n\nIt was Sunday.  It was the final performance of [i:1822pxr6]Charlie Brown[/i:1822pxr6], one which had been given over to the understudies.  Quinn\'s parents and grandmother had brought all of them there two hours before and planned to return before the curtain went up.  \n\nQuinn was under a great deal of self-imposed stress.  Complicating matters was the presence of Renee Silverberg.  It had been Fielding tradition that the performance for the student body was given over to the understudies, the up-and-comers.  (&quot;If they really want to support the leads,&quot; Gullette had long said, &quot;they have the money to buy a ticket and support Fielding Drama.&quot;)  It was going to be a free performance and it was going to be packed, a brief spot of delight in a long, tedious Finals Week.  \n\nOf course, it was someone else who had to tell Quinn that Renee Silverberg had actually went to Gullette and asked for permission to perform a third time as Sally Brown in the Sunday presentation.  To actually [i:1822pxr6]bump Quinn out[/i:1822pxr6] out of her final chance to perform in front of her family.  There was nothing Silverberg could get out of it.  There would be no one important from a drama school or a traveling company, no major Broadway or Hollywood producers there - it was just for the Fielding students.  Silverberg had already performed as Sally Brown two times.  Her friends had already seen her perform.  She was a senior; she\'d be graduating at the end of Finals Week.  Gullette had managed to turn Renee Silverberg away, somehow, but she remained backstage with her arms crossed like a coiled snake.\n\nIt was too uncomfortable.  She needed to talk to Shuler, but he wasn\'t backstage and he wasn\'t answering his phone.  On a whim, she decided to march across campus and walk to Georgia-Black Hall, which was Shuler\'s residence.  The building was actually two buildings - one for girls, one for boys - joined in the center where a campus guard made sure that Georgia and Black never met each other - it was a loveless marriage.\n\n&quot;I would like to talk to Shuler Kennedy, please,&quot; Quinn said.\n\n&quot;I\'ll ring you up.&quot;  The guard rang up to the room.  &quot;Hello...yes, I have a Quinn Morgendorffer for Shuler Kennedy....&quot;  There was a long pause.   &quot;Thanks.&quot;\n\nThe older man turned to her.  &quot;He\'s not here, but you can talk to his roommate. His roommate\'s coming down.&quot;\n\nQuinn thought that was odd - but she accepted it.  If Shuler didn\'t have his phone with him, his roommate Charles would know where he was.\n\nThe door to Georgia temporarily opened, and Charles E. Murray stepped out.  &quot;Hey, Kiki.&quot;\n\n&quot;Hey, Charles.  Where\'s Shuler?&quot;\n\n[i:1822pxr6]What to say?[/i:1822pxr6]  Charles looked like a man about to pronounce a fatal diagnosis.  &quot;Uh...I don\'t really know.&quot;\n\n&quot;But he\'s coming to the performance, right?&quot; Quinn asked.\n\nThe silence was too long.  Charles\'s complete lack of experience in such situations betrayed him.  &quot;Uh...maybe...I guess....&quot; he muttered.\n\n&quot;Huh?  Charles, tell me what\'s going on?  You [i:1822pxr6]have[/i:1822pxr6] seen him?&quot;\n\n&quot;Uh huh.&quot;\n\n&quot;Did he take his phone with him?&quot;  Quinn asked.\n\n&quot;Uh....&quot;\n\nIt hit Quinn.  [i:1822pxr6]Something was wrong.[/i:1822pxr6]  &quot;Where [i:1822pxr6]is[/i:1822pxr6] he, Charles?&quot; Quinn asked.  \n\n&quot;Uh....&quot;\n\n&quot;Tell me where he is!  Please!&quot; Quinn moaned.  She felt embarassed with the guard there, but either he paid no attention or pretended not to.  He seemed to be deeply reading a [i:1822pxr6]Sports Illustrated[/i:1822pxr6].\n\nCharles whispered.  &quot;[i:1822pxr6]He\'s in his room.[/i:1822pxr6]&quot;\n\n&quot;Why?  Why won\'t he talk to me?&quot;\n\n&quot;I....&quot;  A sudden burst of anger hit Charles, an overwhelming emotion that sparked a surge of adrenaline.  &quot;He\'s not coming down, Quinn.  [i:1822pxr6]He\'s not going to come[/i:1822pxr6].  He tried.  He really tried and I\'m sorry....&quot;  Charles voice was starting to crack up. \n\n&quot;...what did he try?  He tried what?&quot;\n\n&quot;He tried it.  He tried breaking up with Buttons,&quot; Charles said.  &quot;He told me everything.  I was right.  I was right all along.  [i:1822pxr6]He couldn\'t pull the trigger[/i:1822pxr6].  He couldn\'t do it.  He didn\'t break up with her.  And I don\'t think he\'s ever going to break up with her.&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:1822pxr6]What[/i:1822pxr6]?&quot; Quinn said, raising her hand to her face.\n\n&quot;...I knew he couldn\'t do it.  He came back and he just said, \'I\'m whipped, Charles.  It\'s over.\'  And when he heard that you were down here...he panicked.  He sent me down to tell...some kind of fucking lie, I don\'t know.  But...oh shit.  I guess [i:1822pxr6]I\'m a coward too[/i:1822pxr6].  I can\'t even tell a fucking lie.  Maybe I felt I shouldn\'t.  Shuler bet on the wrong horse once again.&quot;\n\n&quot;But...b-bbbut...&quot; Quinn weakly muttered, like a steam locomotive slowly gearing up, &quot;...-b-but w-why would he dooOOO that to me?&quot;\n\n&quot;I don\'t know.&quot;  It got too intense for Charles; he could feel the knives and an invisible audience mocking his doomed efforts.  &quot;I\'m sorry.  For God\'s sake, please don\'t tell Shuler that I told you.&quot;  Charles didn\'t leave the foyer as much as he [i:1822pxr6]fled[/i:1822pxr6] it.\n\nIt was as if Quinn had been stabbed in the stomach.  But the stabbing...was only the first part of the pain.  It boiled over.  Everything she had hoped for - a future with a guy she really liked, a chance for her little dreams to come true, what she had given him - all crushed.  All thrown away.  All useless.  [i:1822pxr6]She was useless[/i:1822pxr6].  She meant nothing to him, could never mean anything to him, she had misjudged him, and the dream that was to float her away from reality was only a useless mirage, one that only silly, stupid little girls believed in.\n\nA stupid little girl like her.  She wasn\'t even a virgin anymore.  He had had her, and he threw her away when he was done.\n\n&quot;Noooo...&quot; she muttered, tears streaming down her face as she slowly walked out of Georgia-Black Hall.  What was she supposed to do now, when the comforts of the world had blown down around her?  She had had the man of her dreams in her arms...and now, just like that, he was gone without even a face-to-face goodbye.\n\n(* * *)\n\n&quot;...anyway, kids, this is your moment.  I\'m looking forward to seeing all of you back in Drama next year,&quot; Gullette said.  &quot;Break a leg out there.&quot;\n\nSmirking, Daria looked at Quinn.  &quot;Here\'s a deal.  I\'ll help you get started on the first leg.&quot;\n\nQuinn looked back at her, but it was a look that Daria had never seen on Quinn\'s face before.  It was the kind of look, Daria would later write, that belonged only to a newly-coined widow after her first night of restless sleep.  That look, with Quinn\'s blond wig and baby-doll dress, presented a picture that made a mockery of Quinn\'s lack of serenity.  It was less widow\'s garb than a clown suit.\n\n(* * *)\n\nGrandma Barksdale thought to herself, [i:1822pxr6]Well, Quinn shall make no actress.  She simply doesn\'t have the talent for it.  I would never tell the girl that to her face, of course, but she\'s rather tone deaf.  Oh well, Quinn was never meant to be an actress, and thank God for it.[/i:1822pxr6]  \n\nShe looked over to Helen\'s pained expression.  &quot;Well,&quot; Grandma Barksdale offered in consolation, &quot;she will get better with practice, trust me.&quot;\n\n(* * *)\n\nGullette watched Quinn from the orchestra pit.  After a few futile exhortations in the form of gesturing, he gave up.  [i:1822pxr6]Jesus.  I suppose I\'d better start cleaning up my resume.[/i:1822pxr6]\n\n(* * *)\n\nButtons turned to Eddie Sterling.  &quot;What do you think?&quot; she asked her.\n\n&quot;God, Kiki is a total dog,&quot; Eddie said.  &quot;I don\'t think she can act at all.  It\'s like she\'s gone all stupid or something.&quot;\n\n&quot;But...well, she\'s trying very very hard,&quot; Buttons said.  &quot;It\'s so courageous of her.  With all that pressure, I don\'t believe I could go up there at all.&quot;\n\n&quot;Where [i:1822pxr6]is[/i:1822pxr6] your boyfriend, anyway?&quot;\n\n&quot;He told me he wasn\'t coming,&quot; Buttons said. &quot;I called him.  He told me that he was ill.  He\'s just under so much pressure right now, and I know it\'s weakened his immune system.  I hope he gets better.  Poor Shuler...!&quot;\n\n(* * *)\n\n&quot;She\'s fantastic!&quot; Pat Seven said.  &quot;What do you think, Pater?&quot;\n\n&quot;Hmph,&quot; Pat Six said.  &quot;What play have you been watching?  You need to get your glasses checked, boy.&quot;\n\nPat Seven turned away in silence, saying nothing.  Pat Six finally offered, &quot;Oh well.  Quinn\'s a pretty girl.  I suppose everything is forgiven with a pretty girl.  At least she\'ll never be able to pull the wool over your eyes, son, that\'s for sure.  She looks miserable.&quot;\n\n(* * *)\n\nJill Yardborough applauded as Quinn\'s tune came to an end.  &quot;I don\'t believe it,&quot; Jill said.  &quot;What went wrong?  I don\'t understand it at all!&quot;\n\n&quot;I told her to work on her music,&quot; Kyle said.  &quot;But she didn\'t listen.&quot;  The fifth grader looked at his program.  &quot;That\'s okay.  When I marry her she can quit the theater.&quot;\n\n(* * *)\n\nThe meeting of the Board of Trustees of Fielding Preparatory Academy was to meet in the Ancestors Club.  Every year, the meeting place switched between the Administration Building and the Ancestors Club. The joke was that the Ancestors Club was built in as an attempt to intimidate the Fielding administration with its opulence; if so, the plan hadn\'t worked - the meeting had been swapping back and forth with minor interruptions for over a century.\n\nTechnically, the Board of Trustees employed Henry Michaelas, and like any good employee of a wealthy patron, he was supposed to nod and follow orders.  The Board had technically controlled Fielding since 1881, when Agnes Fielding Kilner, the last of the &quot;true Fieldings&quot; passed away without issue.  The Board was granted control of all real property at Fielding with some caveats, among others that the institution bear the Fielding family name and that it stay true to goals as a preparatory institution for higher education.  \n\nUnfortunately, among the paragraphs of Agnes Fielding Kilner\'s will there was the statement that &quot;the Headmaster of Fielding shall remain in his position, barring his unanimous removal by any caretakers appointed by the Fielding Trust.&quot;  Mrs. Kilner\'s intent was that this would apply only to Martin Gold, the greatest headmaster that Fielding ever had - no one could have imagined a Fielding without Martin Gold.  Unfortunately, as the Trustees would soon learn, the language was not precise enough and Mrs. Kilner\'s intent died with her.  Practically, it meant that unless the Board of Trustees unanimously agreed to remove a headmaster, he would stay.\n\nGold hung on as headmaster until 1891, practically an invalid, directing Fielding business to his secretaries from his bed.  And what about Martin Wilson, who was chosen as a compromise choice for Gold and stayed in the post for over thirty years?  (This was when the Board learned that removing Wilson would not be so simple.)  Or Franklin Adams, Michaelas\'s predecessor, who treated the Board of Trustees like his whipping boys and called them &quot;ignorant money-grubbers&quot; to their faces?\n\nAs long as a headmaster had the ear of at least one trustee, he could stay indefinitely, even to the point of physical incapacitation.  Since Gold, every headmaster had either died in office or retired only when it was clear that he could no longer physically handle the work.  The Board of Trustees had control over the money; the Headmaster had control over the institution.  Each threatened to cut the one off from access to the other.  It was an unhappy compromise.  Someday the Board would have a compliant headmaster, but it wouldn\'t be today.\n\nThe point of having the meeting in the Ancestors Club was to overwhelm the headmaster - who arrived alone - with the opulence and majesty of the Board of Trustees.  Michaelas, however, had so far been immune to awe.  But as long as the Board of Trustees held the money - every board member had donated millions to Fielding - they could not be ignored, either.\n\n(* * *)\n\nHenry Michaelas put on his tie before going to work.  The tie was a green silk tie which had the Greek phrase &quot;pýx, láx, dáx&quot; inscribed in Greek letters as a repeating motif.  The phrase  - &quot;with fists, kicks, and bites&quot; - described how those attempting to intrude upon the Eleusinian Mysteries were to be repelled.  He was absolutely certain that the Board of Trustees could not read it.  &quot;I do not know what it is that young gentlemen of Fielding know,&quot; Michaelas said nine years earlier in a classical languages publication, &quot;but it is to my regret that they know no Latin or Greek.&quot;\n\nIt summarized his state of mind perfectly.  He was too old to gird his loins, but he decided to wear sensible shoes and take frequent bathroom breaks.  This &quot;meeting&quot; would last for a few days.  It was the closest to battle that he would ever come.\n\n(* * *)\n\nIt had been a long weekend for Tom Sloane.  Sue was gone.  Out of his life.  But he had to admit - his life was [i:1822pxr6]better[/i:1822pxr6] now that she was out of it.  He had been looking forward to the summer break when Sue would retreat to New York (although she had promised to come visit, and frequently) but now it was all out of the question.  Of course, like Elsie, Sue wasn\'t going anywhere and he couldn\'t help but bump into her at Fielding.  He\'d just deal with it when he had to.\n\nBesides, the rest of the week was Finals Week.  He had his own crap to worry about, even though he knew he had Bs or As in all of his courses.  There were a few Bs that had an outside chance of being bumped to As but unfortunately the profs were all hardasses.\n\nIt was only 8:10 that AM when Tom received his first call.  &quot;Tom!&quot; Kay cried.  &quot;It\'s Terry!&quot;\n\nTom answered the house phone.  &quot;Yo,&quot; Tom said.\n\n&quot;[i:1822pxr6]Tom...why don\'t you have a god-damned cell phone?  One that\'s constantly charged and turned on?[/i:1822pxr6]&quot;\n\n&quot;Because I don\'t feel that the world deserves 24-hour access to me,&quot; Tom said.\n\n&quot;[i:1822pxr6]Well, the world has gone on without you. Sue has just e-mailed some wild shit all over campus about breaking up with you.[/i:1822pxr6]&quot;\n\n&quot;Like what?&quot; Tom said.\n\n&quot;[i:1822pxr6]I\'ll start:  [b:1822pxr6]My relationship with Tom Sloane was nothing short of an emotional hell.  If I had known what I was in for, I never would have ever gone out with him.  I\'m trying to recover from the verbal abuse of our breakup...which culminated in Tom\'s humiliating episode in the middle of a restaurant and I just couldn\'t take it anymore - I was forced to break up with him and he promised to \'make me suffer\' because I wouldn\'t give in to him.[/b:1822pxr6][/i:1822pxr6]&quot;\n\n&quot;Give in to [i:1822pxr6]what[/i:1822pxr6]?&quot; Tom cried.  &quot;What the hell?&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:1822pxr6]Sue doesn\'t say,[/i:1822pxr6]&quot;  Terry said.  &quot;[i:1822pxr6]I think she\'s trying to let the reader draw his own conclusions.  This is one of the best works of fiction I\'ve ever read.  She says that you would invite other girls over to the house - \'skanks\' she calls them - just to see how she would react.  It\'s like you\'re a piñata with candy inside, and Sue just keeps...swinging away, trying to find the sweet stroke.  She says that you never cared about her at all, and that you just wanted to get under her skirt, and when you found out that she wasn\'t going to do that you went right off the handle.[/i:1822pxr6]&quot;\n\n&quot;That\'s a damned lie.&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:1822pxr6]It gets even better.  She says you \'kept secrets about your on-line life\' and that you were a massive control freak.[/i:1822pxr6]&quot;\n\n&quot;Control [b:1822pxr6]her[/b:1822pxr6]?  Sue?&quot;  Tom was now red in the face through anger and embarrassment.\n\n&quot;[i:1822pxr6]Yup, you devious controlling bastard.  If anyone reads this your sainthood is through.  And trust me - a lot of people have read it.  She texted this shit to half the school.  She sent it to Pat, she sent it to everyone in Tops, to everyone on student council, to everyone who\'s everyone at Fielding.  I\'m surprised she didn\'t send it to the Head.[/i:1822pxr6]&quot;\n\nTom moaned.  &quot;Great.  She\'s trying to cut me off the knees.&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:1822pxr6]She\'s succeeding, Pope.  Sue can really manipulate people if she wants to.  Forget about going out with anyone in Tops.[/i:1822pxr6]&quot;\n\n&quot;As if I [i:1822pxr6]wanted[/i:1822pxr6] to.&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:1822pxr6]And forget about going out with anyone else at Fielding.  This letter is a killer.[/i:1822pxr6]&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'ll send out my own text.&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:1822pxr6]Then all you\'re doing is lending Sue\'s bullshit credence.[/i:1822pxr6]&quot;\n\n&quot;People are going to believe [i:1822pxr6]Sue[/i:1822pxr6] over me?&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:1822pxr6]Well...you are The Pope.  People...see you as a little bit stuck-up.  You give off this air of being better than other people.[/i:1822pxr6]&quot;\n\n&quot;And this is how you\'re going to tell me, Terry?&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:1822pxr6]I\'m just trying to keep you from doing something stupid back.  Dude, I\'ve got your back. Tom, don\'t fight on Sue\'s battleground.  If she had texted some crap about...oh, I don\'t know, Buttons Gwinnett...no one would believe it, because they know Buttons.  But no one gives a damn about you, so she\'ll win.  I know her.  There\'s no card you hold that\'s going to trump her vicious imagination.  You\'re just going to have to use your reputation to win people over...and you don\'t have much of one, dude.[/i:1822pxr6]&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'ve never been nasty to anyone.&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:1822pxr6]Yeah, but you\'ve never been all that sweet, either.  You\'re an acquired taste.  Maybe you should be a little less sarcastic.[/i:1822pxr6]&quot;\n\n&quot;I don\'t want anyone as a friend who would have Sue as a friend.  I barely tolerated her when Pat was going out with her.&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:1822pxr6]Maybe, but she\'s got a lot of people who will kiss her ass, particularly guys.  I\'m surprised she hasn\'t sicced one of the Lax Bros on you to beat the crap out of you. My advice, dude - keep a low profile, and hope that people forget this crap over the summer.  I\'ll try to think of something, to keep you from dating townies for the rest of your life.  Laters.[/i:1822pxr6]&quot;  \n\nTerry hung up.  Tom immediately ran upstairs to his cell phone, where he received his rare text messages (since he rarely answered any of them).  [i:1822pxr6]Nothing.[/i:1822pxr6]  He then fired up his PC and looked for messages on his e-mail account.\n\n[i:1822pxr6]Nothing![/i:1822pxr6]  Whatever Sue had sent, she had deliberately not given Tom advance warning.  Sue had him.  He couldn\'t confront her in public, because she\'d scream bloody murder.  It was all...too confusing.  He didn\'t know what to do.\n\n&quot;Elsie!&quot; he cried.\n\nTom waited twenty seconds before Elsie poked her head out of her room.  &quot;Why yes, Young Thomas?  You demanded something?&quot;\n\n&quot;Did you get a text message from Sue Bentley?&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, why would I?&quot; Elsie said.\n\n&quot;Did you or didn\'t you?&quot; Tom said.\n\nElsie closed the door.  Clearly, Tom was to wait for Elsie to make another appearance. After a full minute, Elsie returned, reading the message on her cell phone.  She half-giggled and half-muttered, &quot;Oh my [i:1822pxr6]word[/i:1822pxr6]...!&quot;\n\n(* * *)\n\n&quot;As for admissions, it is my duty to report to the Board that they are holding steady.  Fielding remains the exclusive institution that it has always been.  It has been our hope to cap admissions,&quot; Michaelas reported, &quot;and we have not had to lower our sights as a leading preparatory academy in order to seek new applicants.  We continue to turn away applicants at an advanced rate, while maintaining a diverse student body.&quot;\n\nA few board members nodded.  James Calhoun smiled at the words &quot;diverse student body&quot; - code words for the legacy system, to explain why certain students didn\'t exactly get in due to academic merit.  He had a granddaughter in kindergarten and with those words, he knew Raquel would be at Fielding even if she were as dumb as a post.  He had to stay in Michaelas\'s good graces until she was accepted, and then Old Harry could go fuck himself.\n\n&quot;So, Harry,&quot; Mike Dudley asked, &quot;what are our third grade numbers?&quot;\n\nMichaelas looked at his paper as if it were going to bite him.  &quot;Third grade admissions have fallen another eight percent.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, then, Harry,&quot; Dudley chided, &quot;it looks like your marketing plan failed.&quot;\n\n&quot;All right,&quot; Gary Dorman asked, &quot;how are our numbers holding steady if third graders aren\'t applying?&quot;\n\n&quot;We\'re making it up in five through seven,&quot; Michaelas conceded.\n\n&quot;I keep telling you, Harry!&quot; Dudley cried. &quot;Every other feeder is going K through five!  Parents these days keep their kids in grade school forever!  They\'re afraid to let a bunch of eight-year-old kids hang around with high schoolers!  Jesus, I know what happened when I was in third grade - we were the chew toys of the older kids and they never let us forget it.  I used to get my ass whipped just about every day until I was strong enough to stand up for myself.&quot;\n\n&quot;Fielding,&quot; Michaelas said grandly, &quot;is about developing the [i:1822pxr6]whole man[/i:1822pxr6], and that is from cradle to grave.&quot;\n\n&quot;But it doesn\'t [i:1822pxr6]work[/i:1822pxr6],&quot; Dudley said.  &quot;Those kids will hang around Miss Marigold\'s until fifth grade.  Gilbert Friends and Kirriemuir are now accepting fifth graders without examining their transfer credit.  \'No more remedials at Gilbert Friends\' is what they\'re saying!&quot;\n\nMike Botsford cleared his throat.   He was the trustee closest to Michaelas\'s age.  &quot;Gentlemen, I was once of Harry\'s opinion...but now I\'m not so sure.  The liability issues are too overwhelming, and the temptation....&quot;  He was silent for a second.  &quot;Christine Goudy,&quot; he muttered.\n\nThe room went dead silent.  &quot;Oh Christ,&quot; Dorman muttered.  &quot;Why bring that up again?&quot;\n\n&quot;That scar,&quot; Michaelas said, &quot;shall be with me until the day I die.  Goudy, Douglas and Crick are names that I cannot forget. We [i:1822pxr6]failed[/i:1822pxr6] them.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes, but thanks to Fielding,&quot; Dudley muttered, &quot;their parents are significantly richer.  You didn\'t have to pay out of pocket for that one, Harry. It didn\'t come out of [i:1822pxr6]your[/i:1822pxr6] salary.&quot;\n\n&quot;Where is that Furman kid these days?&quot; muttered a trustee.  None of them wished to think about it.\n\n&quot;The money could be spent better elsewhere, Harry,&quot; Botsford said.\n\n&quot;Oh, no you don\'t!&quot; Calhoun said.  &quot;What about those kids that we\'ve already accepted?&quot;\n\n&quot;Grandfather them in,&quot; Botsford said.  &quot;We don\'t have to get rid of third and fourth grade that quickly.  Accept one or two more classes of third and fourth graders, and then shut the doors.&quot;\n\n&quot;So now you wish to eliminate [i:1822pxr6]two grades[/i:1822pxr6]?  Now I see the truth!  This was planned!&quot; Michaelas cried.\n\n&quot;You know me, Harry,&quot; Botsford said.  &quot;And I am [i:1822pxr6]not[/i:1822pxr6] that kind of person.  We are dealing with hard realities here.&quot;\n\n&quot;What is the staff going to say when we eliminate their jobs?&quot; Michaelas asked.\n\n&quot;For the kind of money we pay them,&quot; Dudley said, &quot;they should be grateful that they got paid so much.  Let them try to make that money in Carter County, or Lawndale County.  There\'s no such thing as a free lunch.&quot;\n\n&quot;Gentlemen,&quot; Michaelas said, standing, &quot;you are undoing Fielding tradition.  I must protest.&quot;\n\n&quot;Protest all you wish, Harry,&quot; Botsford said, standing himself. &quot;But the Board of Trustees cannot countenance the spending of money in such an unproductive manner.  You have to concede, Harry.  It hurts, but we no longer hold the high ground.  The reallocated money will allow us to strengthen the institution in other ways.  We got rid of valets, we got rid of the stables, we brought girls in and Fielding didn\'t collapse.  It won\'t collapse when the third and fourth grades go.&quot;\n\n&quot;You do not know the results of your actions,&quot; Michaelas said, a weak defense and usually his last-ditch defense.  The board members looked firm, save for Calhoun.  &quot;We aren\'t spending the money,&quot; Dudley said, with fatality.\n\n&quot;I shall take a brief break,&quot; Michaelas said, and left the room.\n\nBefore the Board could either bask in triumph or at the very least congratulate themselves for making a tough decision, Calhoun asked for a twenty-minute recess.  He had to grab Michaelas and ask him about a few things.\n\n(* * *)\n\nElsie had called Daria from her room and explained the entire story.  Whereas Elsie had received an e-mail/text message - along with dozens of other Fielding students - Daria had not. \n\n&quot;Wait a minute,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;Sue Bentley says that Tom was going out with other girls behind her back - and [i:1822pxr6]flaunting it[/i:1822pxr6] at his house?  Does that mean [b:1822pxr6]me[/b:1822pxr6]?  Is that some crack at me?&quot;\n\n&quot;Probably not,&quot; Elsie said.  &quot;Most likely she remembered that you were there and...well, she added it as an embellishment to her little tale.  You should be happy.  You were one of the Mata Haris that seduced Tom Sloane from dear sweet Sue Bentley.&quot;\n\n&quot;I wonder how long Sue Bentley\'s arms are.&quot;\n\n&quot;Why?&quot;\n\n&quot;I just want to know if she can still operate a Blackberry after I shove it up her ass.&quot;\n\n&quot;Stop fretting.  Who knows you were over there?  Sue, me, Tom, Terry and Pat.  That\'s it.  She undoubtedly told her little coven, though, about that incident between you and her at our house a few weeks ago.  If they remember that at all, and if they also believe that letter, they shall put two and two together.&quot;\n\n&quot;Let rumors spread,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;It\'s the first time that I ever seduced anyone.   But I\'m not going to be called a skank, particularly by a slut.&quot;\n\n &quot;There is nothing wrong with being an outcast,&quot; Elsie said, &quot;as long as you make it clear that any malefactor that bites shall be likewise bitten.&quot;\n\n&quot;That\'s the Morgendorffer family motto,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;Or it\'s at least my motto.  I borrowed it from Bugs Bunny.&quot;\n\nThere was little further discussion about the matter.  On Finals Week the campus remained deserted, save at lunchtime.  Students retreated to their books except to eat and to attend finals - and as each student completed the last of finals, he or she vacated Fielding as quickly as possible.  Elsie wondered how much time Fielding students would have to ponder her brother\'s love life.\n\nThe three agreed to drive off campus to eat lunch. Tom didn\'t want to stay on campus and wouldn\'t talk about it.  Quinn had not been invited - Daria figured that Quinn\'s withdrawal was due to the difficulty of Fielding exams and if Quinn were in her right mind she\'d refuse anyway. There was only a finals schedule anyway as opposed to a class schedule.\n\n&quot;They release PSTATs this morning,&quot; Tom said.  &quot;Have you called?&quot;\n\n&quot;And spoil my appetite?&quot; Elsie said.  &quot;Please.&quot;\n\n&quot;I would like you to know,&quot; Tom said, grinning.  &quot;That I am the proud possessor of a 1515.&quot;\n\n&quot;Very nice,&quot; Elsie said, &quot;but lunch shall cost at least fifteen ninety-nine.&quot;\n\n&quot;What did you get, Daria?&quot; Tom asked.\n\n&quot;I don\'t really care,&quot; Daria said, meaning it.\n\n&quot;In that case,&quot; Tom said, &quot;I shall merely bask in my intellectual triumph.  Because a 1515 kicks ass.&quot;\n\n&quot;Give me the damn phone,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;Time to put you in your place, rich boy.&quot;\n\n&quot;I know you didn\'t get a 1600,&quot; Tom said, &quot;because they would have put that all over Fielding by now.&quot;\n\n&quot;The last chance that Fielding had for a 1600,&quot; Daria said, &quot;was carted out with Claire Davidson on a stretcher.&quot;  Daria keyed in her ID information on the phone and listened to the result.  She then hung up the phone.\n\n&quot;Well?&quot; Tom said.\n\n&quot;I think I\'ve kicked about,&quot; Daria said, referring to her calculator function on her cell phone, &quot;about 3.6 percent more ass than you have.&quot;\n\n&quot;Baloney,&quot; Tom said.\n\n&quot;I\'ll call again,&quot; Daria said. &quot;Read it and weep.  I think I just beat you by 55 points.&quot;\n\n&quot;HAH!&quot; Elsie said.  &quot;Tom has finally met his intellectual match!  Bravo!&quot;\n\n&quot;You do know that there is an average margin of error,&quot; Tom said, quietly.\n\n&quot;Yes,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;This undoubtedly explains why your score is so high.&quot;  Elsie couldn\'t help but guffaw.\n\n&quot;All right, Miss Elsie,&quot; Tom said. &quot;What did you get?&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh, please,&quot; Elsie said, &quot;unlike you two [i:1822pxr6]I have a life[/i:1822pxr6].  Whatever intelligence you have hasn\'t rubbed off on me.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes,&quot; Tom said.  &quot;You inherited all of Uncle Tyler\'s genes.&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m about to text Sue Bentley,&quot; Elsie said, &quot;and suggest to her that you wish for a reconciliation.&quot;\n\nIt was the first time the subject had been broached. &quot;Yeah, whatever,&quot; Tom said.  It was the wrong thing for Elsie to say, and upset the delicate balance.\n\nDaria broke the silence.  &quot;All right, Elsie,&quot; said Daria. &quot;We\'ve all revealed our deep darkest secrets.  Now it\'s your turn.&quot;\n\nElsie turned slightly green.  &quot;Why...whatever do you mean, Daria?&quot;\n\n&quot;You.  Your PSTATs score.&quot; Daria handed over the phone.  &quot;[i:1822pxr6]Now[/i:1822pxr6].&quot;\n\n&quot;You won\'t need four digits for [i:1822pxr6]my[/i:1822pxr6] sad little score,&quot; a relieved Elsie said.\n\n&quot;After that book through that window,&quot; Daria said, grabbing Elsie\'s hand, forcing her fingers open, and shoving the phone into her palm, &quot;I earned this.&quot;\n\nElsie\'s look was dark and moody.  &quot;I [i:1822pxr6]despise[/i:1822pxr6] you, Morgendorffer.&quot;\n\n&quot;Get it over with,&quot; Daria said.\n\nElsie dialed.  She listened carefully, holding the phone close to her ear so that nothing could be heard.  After the brief message, she closed the phone.\n\n&quot;Okay.  The score,&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;Well...not what I thought it would be,&quot; Elsie said.  &quot;But it is a respectable four figures.&quot;\n\n&quot;And?&quot;\n\nElsie tried to hide a smile.  &quot;The number is 1220.&quot;\n\n&quot;Twelve twenty?&quot; Tom said in surprise, turning his head.  &quot;That\'s great!&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, it\'s above average, I suppose,&quot; Elsie said, elated.  &quot;I suppose the tutoring helped.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes, we\'re all just brilliant,&quot; Daria said. &quot;But it\'s just a number.  And our lives will still suck as much as they do now next year.&quot;\n\nTom\'s phone rang. &quot;Let\'s see,&quot; Tom said. &quot;Terry called.  Pat called.  One other guy called.  I got two anonymous hate calls.  What\'s on Tom Sloane Roulette today?&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh shit,&quot; he said, picking it up before telling Daria or Elsie the caller\'s identity. &quot;Hello?  Yes...?  I...uh huh...uh huh...uh huh...Okay...Okay.  I\'ll be there in an hour.  Bye.&quot;\n\nTom turned.  &quot;That was Dad,&quot; he told Elsie.  &quot;He wants to talk to me.  And he mentioned that text message.  Wonderful.&quot;\n\n(* * *)\n\nTom, Daria and Elsie entered the Sloane living room by way of the mud room and the kitchen.  Kay was reading a magazine in the living room.  &quot;Tom, I think your father is waiting for you in the den.&quot;\n\n&quot;Okay,&quot; Tom said. &quot;I\'m off to execution,&quot; he told Elsie and Daria.\n\n&quot;Tom, don\'t make this any bigger than it already is.  Your father just wants to talk to you alone.&quot;\n\n&quot;Then why do I have to talk to him [i:1822pxr6]now[/i:1822pxr6]?&quot; complained Tom.\n\nKay sighed.  &quot;Tom, go talk to your father.&quot;\n\n&quot;Is this one of those [i:1822pxr6]Brady Bunch[/i:1822pxr6] moments?&quot; Daria asked.\n\n&quot;A what moment?&quot; Kay asked.\n\n&quot;[i:1822pxr6]Brady Bunch[/i:1822pxr6].&quot;  Daria waited for some sort of recognition, and received none.  &quot;Uh...it was a 1970s sitcom of an idealized blended family where the father would deliver sage wisdom from the comfort of his den.&quot;\n\n&quot;But we\'re not a blended family,&quot; Kay said.\n\n&quot;Well...I guess you had to be there.&quot;\n\nKay thought about it for a while, then chuckled.  Daria wasn\'t quite convinced that Kay got it, but Kay seemed to think that something was funny.\n\n(* * *)\n\nAngier was at his desk, surrounded by law books.  He looked away from his PC.  &quot;Tom.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, Dad, I\'m here.&quot;\n\n&quot;I see that you broke up with Sue Bentley.&quot;\n\n&quot;Dad...[i:1822pxr6]everyone at Fielding[/i:1822pxr6] sees that I broke up with Sue Bentley.&quot;\n\n&quot;Hmmm.&quot;  Angier nodded.  &quot;Tom, not that it\'s my business how you run your romantic life but when I read text messages like this,&quot; Angier said, indicating his PC, &quot;I make it a concern of mine.&quot;\n\n&quot;What?   Sue Bentley sent [i:1822pxr6]you[/i:1822pxr6] that message?&quot;\n\n&quot;No.  Pat Seven received that message, and he shared it with his father, and Pat Six sent it to me.  I spent this morning calling Ms. Bentley\'s legal guardian.  I had to use words like [i:1822pxr6]libel[/i:1822pxr6], and it\'s not a word I use in jest given my position.  Trust me to say that I spent a good thirty minutes in a screaming match with a high-priced New York lawyer.  I received no commitment one way or the other,&quot; Angier said.\n\n&quot;Okay.  Why did you get involved, Dad?  My life at Fielding is hard enough.&quot;\n\n&quot;I got involved, son, because I felt that I [i:1822pxr6]could[/i:1822pxr6] get involved. And I wanted to do something to help.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, [i:1822pxr6]don\'t[/i:1822pxr6], okay?&quot; Tom said.  &quot;If it got out that you were trying to [i:1822pxr6]protect[/i:1822pxr6] me, I\'d just be a sucker for all kinds of abuse.&quot;\n\n&quot;Even so,&quot; Angier said, &quot;is any of this true?&quot;\n\n&quot;No.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well then, there we go.  I trust my son to tell me the truth.  If some girl is spreading slander about you through e-mail, I\'d like to think that I give enough of a damn about it to get involved.  This e-mail, however, suggests a lot of trouble.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah,&quot; Tom said.  &quot;She was a lot of trouble.  I just thought that...maybe there was something to her beyond face value, like with Elsie.&quot;\n\nAngier nodded.  &quot;Just because you feel the need to protect your sister doesn\'t mean you have to protect everyone.  You know and I know that Elsie has a deep, caring side.  But sometimes, Tom, when you get past the miserable outer shell all you find is a miserable inner shell.  Understand?  If someone\'s making you miserable, you don\'t have any obligation to stay with them.  She\'s not family, she\'s not your sister, and you don\'t own her misery.  Miserable people like that are to be [i:1822pxr6]dropped[/i:1822pxr6].  Life is short enough to be investing your time on objects of no return.  Unless you were having sex with this girl - !&quot;\n\n&quot; - oh, no way!  I mean - !&quot;\n\n&quot; - never mind - as long as you\'re using protection and as long as she is, and as long as you\'re both competent human beings, it\'s none of my business.  I certainly sowed my share of wild oats.  But good God, Thomas, there have to be tastier fish in the sea.  All orgasms are the same, if you get my meaning.&quot;\n\n&quot;I do...but I don\'t think I would have put it that way,&quot; Tom said.\n\n&quot;Well, whatever.  I\'m just imparting some elementary wisdom that it took me years to learn.  It\'s the responsibility of the father to impart it, it\'s the responsibility of the son to listen to it, and after that I don\'t have any control.  But any more e-mails from future girlfriends, and I might take a greater interest in your romantic life.  No more Sue Bentleys, right?&quot;\n\n&quot;Right,&quot; Tom said.  There was finally something he could agree with his father about.\n\n&quot;It might be better if you just...stay away from Fielding girls.  They\'re spoiled rotten.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah, but Dad, you married a Grove Hills girl.&quot;\n\n&quot;That was when Grove Hills was Grove Hills.  Maybe the message is \'don\'t shit where you eat,\' to put it crudely.  Whatever.  Broaden your horizons, son.  Stay away from troublesome women who bring conflict to every situation.  You know, there are all kinds of dances and debuts where they\'re looking for an eligible young man to be an escort.&quot;\n\n&quot;Dad, I agreed to be Elsie\'s escort to her debut and that\'s as far as I\'m going.  I\'d like to choose my own girlfriends and not have my parents pick them out for me.&quot;\n\nAngier ran his hand through his hair.  &quot;Well, all right, although I think it\'s unwise to pass over a girl who is highly recommended.  They make the best matches.  You can go back to making your own mistakes, though - it\'s the only way we learn anything.  I\'ll let you go now.&quot;\n\nTom left.  [i:1822pxr6]No more Fielding girls.[/i:1822pxr6]   It was good advice, and Tom resolved to take it.  Of course, there was still one Fielding girl he was kind of interested in.  But maybe his father was right.  Relationships with outsiders were the way to go.  Maybe going out with a townie wouldn\'t be so bad after all.\n\n(* * *)\n\nFour hours later, a mass e-mail was sent by Sue Bentley to her mailing list.\n\n[b:1822pxr6]Regarding my last text...I might have blown a few things out of proportion.  So don\'t take it all literally, because I might not have told things right.  Tom Sloane is still a bastard and I hate him, though, and nothing can change that.  But you can\'t sue me for my emotions, which I am allowed to have.  FUCK YOU TOM!![/b:1822pxr6]\n\nIt was the closest thing to an apology that Tom would get.  As before, Tom had to find it out secondhand.\n\n(* * *)\n\nTwo days later, the Swim Team held its final banquet of the year.  The bad news was that Daria would have to dress up, and she hated dressing up.  The good news was that Daria planned it to be her final Swim Team function ever.  \n\nThe Swim Team members sat at small tables with a podium up in front where they would be called to receive their various honors.  Ms. Hemingway presided in what would be her final act as the ex-coach of the Fielding Swim Team.  She had no news to offer them on who would be replacing her, but promised that she would do all that she could to see that all players would be kept in the loop.  (As for arriving back at Fielding two weeks early for a team-building exercise - nothing was said about that.)\n\nThere were at least a couple of people Daria could talk to:  Zip Benson and Donna Whitfield, whose invitation had apparently not been rescinded.  Donna smiled, but sort of kept her distance emotionally from Daria out of embarrassment.  Donna gave involved answers to direct questions - she was clearly interested in talking - but Daria could feel that Donna felt &quot;one down&quot; and suspected that Donna possessed residual embarrassment and was not talking any more about what happened.  (Daria suspected that that\'s the way she herself would have dealt with things if the tables were turned.)\n\nQuietly, Daria leaned over to Zip before the function started.  &quot;Zip - I don\'t think I\'m going to be here next year.&quot;\n\nZip looked as astonished as if the moon had turned cube.  &quot;What?  Why?&quot;\n\n&quot;Come on,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;You know that I don\'t like this.&quot;\n\n&quot;Daria, [i:1822pxr6]none of us like this[/i:1822pxr6].  Do you think that I like doing laps every morning at 5 am?&quot;  Zip looked to Donna for support, who was very interested.  &quot;Do you think that we sit around and get yelled out because we\'re masochists?&quot;  (Daria wisely did not answer.)  &quot;We do this because [i:1822pxr6]we have a goal[/i:1822pxr6]. We want to get better.&quot;\n\n&quot;I was drafted into this in the first place,&quot; said Daria.  &quot;I am not a swimmer.  We haven\'t won a single dive competition.  I haven\'t cost you anything yet, but if there\'s a close meet another one of my failed dives might cause Fielding to lose.&quot;\n\n&quot;That\'s the reason?&quot; Donna asked.  &quot;Do you think that I don\'t think that whenever I get into the water?  Do you think that I don\'t remember choking at Grove Hills?  I think about that every day. Look, Daria, we [i:1822pxr6]all[/i:1822pxr6] have pressure on us, not just you.&quot;\n\n&quot;Are you kidding?&quot; Daria said.  &quot;Like I said:  I\'m not a diver.  I can\'t do elementary dives.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes, and we all had swimming lessons, and most of the time early on we sucked.  But we hung with it until we got better.  What\'s your point?&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m not a jock,&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;I\'m not a [i:1822pxr6]brain[/i:1822pxr6],&quot; Donna countered.  &quot;I don\'t want to go to class either in the morning, because I suck,&quot; Donna said, &quot;but I keep going to class because I want to get better.  Maybe because I\'m not naturally good at something, I should blow it off, huh?  That\'s your advice?  \'Only do things that you\'re good at\'? &quot;\n\n&quot;But you have all had years of experience.  I wasn\'t even [i:1822pxr6]interested in swimming[/i:1822pxr6].  I was [i:1822pxr6]drafted[/i:1822pxr6].&quot;\n\n&quot;We lose our coach, and now we\'re going to lose our only platform diver.  Do you want to kick us in the cooch while you leave, too?&quot; Zip asked.\n\n&quot;Are you leaving us because we didn\'t have a good year?&quot; Donna asked.  \n\n&quot;Where is all this coming from?&quot; Daria asked.  &quot;You knew that I wasn\'t happy to start with.&quot;\n\n&quot;We just figured that you were one of those people that liked being miserable,&quot; Zip said, rather uncharacteristically.\n\n&quot;Well, I [i:1822pxr6]don\'t[/i:1822pxr6].  No one does.  I wasn\'t exactly greeted with open arms,&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;That\'s it?  Some bitch like Yong-Ae makes a crack and you take it personally,&quot; Zip said.  &quot;Half of the people on this team are idiots.  Half of the people in [i:1822pxr6]life[/i:1822pxr6] are idiots.  You don\'t get to choose who your teammates are in life.  If you reject the Swim Team, you\'re rejecting [i:1822pxr6]us[/i:1822pxr6],&quot; Zip said.\n\n&quot;Why the hell are you putting it like that?&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;What other kind of conclusion are we supposed to draw?&quot;  Donna said.\n\n&quot;That I don\'t like swimming?&quot;  Daria said.\n\n&quot;All right.  Then what does it take,&quot; Zip asked. &quot;[i:1822pxr6]Money?[/i:1822pxr6]&quot;\n\n&quot;You\'re [i:1822pxr6]bribing me[/i:1822pxr6]?&quot;  Daria was aghast.\n\n&quot;My mother said that every time someone says \'I just don\'t want to\' that there\'s a specific reason,&quot; Donna said.  &quot;You don\'t like swimming, but I\'m sure that there are other things you put up with that you don\'t like but you do them anyway because of the people.  Like when they show a movie and your friends want to see one movie and you want to see another and you say \'okay, I\'ll put up with this movie just to hang around with you.\'  What\'s the specific reason?  The assholes on the team?  The work?  The lack of support from the student body?&quot;\n\n&quot;Shut up, Donna.  You\'re not helping.  I have twelve thousand dollars in my bank account,&quot; Zip said. &quot;[i:1822pxr6]How much will it take[/i:1822pxr6]?&quot;\n\nDaria didn\'t know what to say.  &quot;Twelve thousand dollars.  I wouldn\'t take it if you offered it.&quot;  [i:1822pxr6]Okay, I lied.  We need that money.  I would take it,[/i:1822pxr6] Daria thought to herself.\n\n&quot;Daria...without you....&quot;  Donna looked down. &quot;Without you I wouldn\'t be on Fielding Swim.   You helped me when I needed it the most.  I don\'t know what we\'d do without you. I think you and Zip mean more to me than anyone else on Fielding Swim - no, you [i:1822pxr6]do mean more[/i:1822pxr6].  If both of you were gone...it would [i:1822pxr6]suck wads[/i:1822pxr6].&quot;\n\n&quot;You are extremely cool, you know that?&quot; Zip said to Daria. \n\n&quot;Thanks,&quot; Daria muttered.  [i:1822pxr6]No!  They\'re trying to convince you!  Resist the Dark Side![/i:1822pxr6] Daria told herself.  &quot;But it\'s not like you\'ve tried to hang out with me or anything.  This is a lot to be putting on the plate now that I\'m walking away.&quot;\n\n&quot;It\'s hard to hang out,&quot; Zip said.  &quot;You leave the campus the second classes are over...and...well, you\'re not easy to get to know.  And it\'s not like I\'m a brain, so...I just feel overwhelmed trying to talk to you.  Like I\'m stupid or something for opening my mouth.&quot;\n\n&quot;What will your Mom and Dad say when you leave?&quot; Donna asked.  Donna was resigning herself to it.\n\n&quot;The usual stuff about not being a quitter,&quot; Daria said. &quot;Everyone is too involved in this.  Even me.  I need a neutral opinion. Someone who isn\'t involved.&quot;\n\n&quot;Okay,&quot; Zip said.  &quot;If you can find someone who will give you a neutral opinion - and if they say you should stay - then [i:1822pxr6]will you stay[/i:1822pxr6]?&quot;\n\n&quot;I guess,&quot; Daria muttered.\n\n&quot;Then it\'s settled.  But you\'re bound to it.&quot;\n\n&quot;And [i:1822pxr6]you\'re bound to it[/i:1822pxr6],&quot; Daria said to Zip and Donna. &quot;If the neutral opinion says I can walk - [i:1822pxr6]I walk[/i:1822pxr6].  And you have to accept it.&quot;\n\n&quot;Fine,&quot; Zip said.  &quot;We\'ll accept it.  But that cash offer still stands.&quot;\n\n&quot;Okay.&quot;  [i:1822pxr6]Hmmm.[/i:1822pxr6]  &quot;If the neutral opinion says I should stay I want $500 to sweeten the sting.&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:1822pxr6]Done.[/i:1822pxr6]&quot;\n\n(* * *)\n\n&quot;And one of the most important awards - to me, anyway,&quot; Hemingway said, &quot;is that of Most Improved Swimmer.  This is given to the swimmer who has committed the most effort to improving his or her skills at Fielding Swim.  Some coaches have a different philosophy than I do - but I never cared about the score of a meet.  In the end, the only person you can compete with is - yourself.  We have talented freshmen on this team, but clearly, this award is a walkaway.  This swimmer had never so much put a toe in a pool when not only did she join Fielding Swim, but she participated in its most challenging event - the platform dive.  An event which can give even the most fearless swimmers pause, particularly at 10 meters.&quot;\n\n&quot;She didn\'t dive particularly well - she didn\'t win a single competition.  And she smacked more than once.  But I made the offer to individual members of this team - you know who you are - and to the last man, they [i:1822pxr6]refused[/i:1822pxr6] to take up the platform.  All I can say is that this swimmer has more guts than the rest of this team put together.  The clear winner of Most Improved Swimmer is Daria Morgendorffer.&quot;\n\nThe Swim Team and Swim Team supporters applauded.  Donna, Zip, Billie Tengan and Lisa Magwood all stood up in a standing ovation. ([i:1822pxr6]Why?[/i:1822pxr6] Daria asked herself, [i:1822pxr6]those two haven\'t spoken to me all year![/i:1822pxr6])  Daria walked to the podium and Ms. Hemingway handed her a plaque.  \n\n[b:1822pxr6]Fielding Swim Team\n20XX Season\nMost Improved Swimmer - Daria Morgendorffer[/b:1822pxr6]\n\n&quot;Zip gave us some advice about the name,&quot; Ms. Hemingway said.  &quot;Congratulations.  It was great teaching you.  I never had to \'unteach\' you anything.&quot;\n\nDaria smiled.  [i:1822pxr6]It might be because I never learned anything.  And as for bravery, the only reason I was brave was because I was too stupid to know that diving from 10 meters was the act of a suicidal bridge-leaper.  But after this season...I\'m definitely keeping the award [b:1822pxr6]and[/b:1822pxr6] the letter.[/i:1822pxr6]\n\n(* * *)\n\nOver the course of the last few days, the Board of Trustees had heard the news. It was not the news they wanted to hear and they were waiting for it to be addressed, but Michaelas instead had kept them waiting for the shoe to drop.  If there was any anxiety on his part, it was not revealed - he appeared as serene as a poker player with a flush.\n\n&quot;The next item on the agenda,&quot; Michaelas said, grabbing a glass of water to sip.  &quot;It regards the results of the latest PSTAT testing.  The average PSTAT score of a Fielding student is 1384 out of 1600.  This is rather exceptional, and cements our position as one of the elite schools in the United States.  I\'m sad to report, however, that Grove Hills had an average score of 1395 out of 1600.&quot;\n\n&quot;I have a nephew,&quot; Mike Botsford said, &quot;who\'s working for the admin over at Grove Hills.&quot;  He pulled out a catalogue which appeared to be Grove Hills\'s introductory catalog.  &quot;This is a mock-up of what they\'ll be sending out shortly.  Look at page nine, Harry.&quot;\n\nMichaelas picked up the book and thumbed to page nine.  Page nine was a list of Grove Hills\'s various academic marks of distinction, headed with the words &quot;PSTAT average:  1395.  Highest of any East Coast prep school.&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'ll sum up for the Board,&quot; Botsford said.  &quot;Our PSTATs and STAT scores have been dropping.  Grove Hills is overtaking us academically.  It\'s making Fielding look very bad.&quot;\n\n&quot;And what about sports?&quot; James Calhoun asked.  &quot;What did we win in sports this year?  Girls basketball?  [i:1822pxr6]Who cares?[/i:1822pxr6]  This school is being left behind, Harry,&quot; Calhoun muttered.  &quot;So what exactly is it that we are paying for?  If we\'re going to fall to the wayside academically, I expect to see something we can take pride in.&quot;\n\n&quot;First, James,&quot; Michaelas said, &quot;I\'ll remind you that there were only two championships by Grove Hills this year - boys cross country and soccer.  Furthermore, we have the debate championship, which is more prestigious than either of those put together.  As for football, we are [i:1822pxr6]not[/i:1822pxr6] St. Anthony\'s, which is an all-male school and a school whose Catholic mission allows it to admit the underprivileged...at least, those who can play football.&quot;\n\nMichaelas took a sip of water. &quot;That is beside the point.  As for our falling PSTAT and STAT scores - [i:1822pxr6]I told you this would happen[/i:1822pxr6].  I told you that the admissions process would have to be opened for this school to keep pace academically.&quot;\n\n&quot;What?&quot; Botsford said.  &quot;We only admit 11 percent of all applicants.  Given our low rate of admissions, we\'ve done quite well for ourselves.&quot;\n\n&quot;Weren\'t you just complaining about our test scores?&quot; Michaelas said.  &quot;And now, you wish to state that all is well.&quot;  Before Botsford could say another word, Michaelas turned to the other Board members.  &quot;Our student body is diverse, but gentlemen...it is not diverse [i:1822pxr6]enough[/i:1822pxr6].  If we consider those students who fall into an [i:1822pxr6]underrepresented minority[/i:1822pxr6], our numbers are only [i:1822pxr6]seven percent[/i:1822pxr6].  The percentage at Grove Hills?  [i:1822pxr6]Forty percent[/i:1822pxr6].&quot;\n\n&quot;Are you claiming,&quot; Calhoun said, &quot;that we\'re not succeeding because we\'re [i:1822pxr6]white[/i:1822pxr6]?&quot;\n\nMichaelas chuckled, in a way that suggested contempt.  &quot;James, I\'ve [i:1822pxr6]forgotten[/i:1822pxr6] more about prep school admissions than you shall ever know.  Grove Hills is an extremely competitive school.  And they will accept...[i:1822pxr6]anyone who pays[/i:1822pxr6].  It\'s all new money, yes, but hard-earned money.  The parents of those children have an astonishing work ethic, and one which they\'ve passed on to their children.  Many of them are immigrants, and they expect their children to be even more successful than themselves!  We have the best tutoring and the best feeder schools and our children are very talented indeed - but Grove Hills students are [i:1822pxr6]more competitive[/i:1822pxr6].&quot;\n\n&quot;I know all about Grove Hills,&quot; Calhoun said.  &quot;It\'s a snake pit.  It\'s brutal there.  For all our faults, I\'d take a butcher knife,&quot; Calhoun said with great seriousness, &quot;and cut off my own hand before I\'d send a child of mine to Grove Hills.  There\'s a difference between competition and insanity.&quot;\n\n&quot;It\'s the Grove Hills inferiority complex,&quot; Mike Dudley said.\n\n&quot;Even so,&quot; Michaelas said, &quot;our student body is top-heavy with legacies.  These are children who\'ve known that they\'ll be Fielding students from birth - and a certain amount of lassitude has settled in.  Many of them are happy just to get by.  Our obligatory PSTAT prep and STAT prep classes were a fine idea - twenty years ago.  These days, teaching to the test has become a fact of life at every prep school.  Sooner or later, our advantage shall dwindle.  Gentlemen - if we do not add...more [i:1822pxr6]variety[/i:1822pxr6]...to this student body, we shall fall behind even further.  These young men and women need to be awakened from their natural sloth.   They need to be \'shown up\' as they put it when I was a student.  Their competitive fire needs to be rekindled.&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m not going to give up the essential nature of Fielding,&quot; Dudley said, &quot;to kowtow to some vague idea of...[i:1822pxr6]affirmative action[/i:1822pxr6].  Let the urmies get their own god-damned prep school.  Why should I ever submit to such a thing?&quot;\n\n&quot;Because,&quot; Michaelas said with the authority of an Old Testament prophet, &quot;because if you do not, sir, then your children shall not be their bosses - they shall be their [i:1822pxr6]employees[/i:1822pxr6].&quot;\n\n&quot;I refuse,&quot; Dudley said.  &quot;Tried and true Fielding blue can whip any urmie\'s ass.&quot;\n\nBotsford cleared his throat.  &quot;So what kind of assurances can you give us, Harry,&quot; he asked, &quot;that such changes would be successful?  And how much would be lost of Fielding\'s nature?&quot;\n\nThis time, Michaelas reached out for his own manila envelope.  &quot;Two documents, Mike.  I\'ll remind you that, by law, I\'m not supposed to have these documents, so this shall not be included in the minutes.  The first document breaks down Grove Hills\'s performance on the STATs test by national origin.  The second document...breaks down alumni donation at Grove Hills in the same manner.&quot;\n\nBotsford looked at the numbers.  &quot;How do they compare to [i:1822pxr6]our[/i:1822pxr6] numbers?&quot;\n\n&quot;They exceed them.&quot;\n\n&quot;All right,&quot; Botsford said, &quot;how much [i:1822pxr6]variety[/i:1822pxr6] can we tolerate at Fielding?&quot;\n\n&quot;No more than [i:1822pxr6]five percent[/i:1822pxr6],&quot; an angry Dudley muttered. &quot;I won\'t stand for anything more than five percent or I\'ll pull my donations!&quot;\n\n&quot;Excellent,&quot; Michaelas said.  &quot;If you add your five percent to our current seven percent - we\'ve practically [i:1822pxr6]doubled[/i:1822pxr6] the variety at Fielding, you old liberal firebrand, you!  We\'ll hold a special Diversity Day in your honor!&quot;\n\n&quot;I didn\'t mean - !&quot; Dudley said in protest, but the laughter of the Board of Trustees drowned him out.  He retreated to silence.  &quot;God damn it,&quot; was his only reply.\n\n&quot;Ten percent should be enough?&quot; Botsford said.\n\n&quot;Oh, Mike,&quot; Michaelas said, &quot;don\'t deny me my triumph.&quot;  Diversifying Fielding had been Michaelas\'s goal for over a decade, and Botsford decided the extra two percent wasn\'t worth fighting over.\n\n&quot;Where are we going to get these \'diverse\' students?&quot; a man named William Orr said.\n\n&quot;There is a flaw in the Grove Hills approach,&quot; Michaelas said.  &quot;They wait for worthy candidates to apply.  We, gentlemen, shall [i:1822pxr6]not[/i:1822pxr6] wait.  We shall [i:1822pxr6]inquire[/i:1822pxr6].&quot;\n\n&quot;But what about the students waiting to be admitted?&quot; Calhoun anxiously asked.\n\n&quot;We can talk about that later,&quot; Michaelas said with a smile.  The look they exchanged said everything, and Calhoun could be at peace again.\n\n(* * *)\n\nDaria had disposed of her final exam of the week, and her final duty to Fielding - the one that put a ribbon on the year - was the retirement party of Victor Key.  It was being held at the Napier Cottage and all interested faculty and students were invited to attend.\n\nWhen Daria got there, she was surprised that the place was overflowing.  Just about every bigwig at Fielding was there.  She could see the Headmaster having a conversation with Ms. Merritt.  Mr. Goodlett was making his way slowly through the buffet line.  There were all sorts of Fielding graduates that had come back for the occasion to say goodbye to their beloved old prof.  Daria wondered if she would get any time with Mr. Key at all.\n\nInstead, it was Key who happened to notice her first.  &quot;Daria!&quot; he shouted and Daria made her way through the crowd.  &quot;Daria, glad to see you!&quot;\n\n&quot;Did I miss something?&quot; Daria asked, wondering if she got the time wrong.\n\n&quot;No.  My boring retirement speech comes later, when Michaelas gives me a clock and they boot my ass over to Fielding Village.  But we\'re still going to Hollywood in the summer, right?&quot;\n\n&quot;You\'d better believe it,&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;I\'ve still got to talk to your parents.  Haven\'t had much time to do that.  After five o\'clock today, however, I have all the time a man could ask for.&quot;\n\n&quot;I was actually hoping to ask you something,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;It\'s sort of important.&quot;\n\n&quot;Can you ask it here?&quot;\n\n&quot;Not really.&quot;\n\n&quot;Excuse me,&quot; Key said, taking Daria by the shoulder and guiding her through the crowd to a spare room.  &quot;There.  We can talk.  What\'s up?&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m having a moral quandary, and I need the advice of a neutral party.&quot;\n\n&quot;Go on.&quot;\n\n&quot;Okay.  When I entered Fielding, I was forced to get a physical and they detailed me over to the swim team.  It was there that I learned the tortuous terrors of the platform diving board, where I risked life and limb on a daily basis.  I really can\'t stand diving or the jockish clique-ishness of the Swim Team, which has a few assholes on it.  Furthermore, the coach is leaving and I haven\'t won a damned thing all year.&quot;\n\n&quot;Go on.&quot;\n\n&quot;On the other hand, I did get a letter jacket out of it.  I got an award for Most Improved Swimmer.  I got to see some of the other schools, and I met a couple of people who seem sort of cool.  Furthermore, my new friends are going to give me hell for leaving, not to say my parents.  My Dad actually cheered for me in a sports-related activity.  I want to go, but I feel that I\'ll be letting a lot of people down if I do.  Mr. Key, if you were in my situation, would you leave...or would you stay?&quot;\n\n&quot;Daria,&quot; said Key, &quot;if you want to write about life, you have to [i:1822pxr6]know about life[/i:1822pxr6].  Some people go to extremes - some writers have actually taken different jobs, or disguised themselves better to fit in.  They actually took on different roles.  I would have loved to do something like that, but I had a job at Fielding and I couldn\'t.  You were exposed to the sports culture, and now you have a foot inside the door to that world, and it\'s a world a lot of people never get to see.  You know what I hate, Daria?  I hate all these fancy scriptwriters who are, like, what, twenty-two, who have no practical experience with the world and live entirely inside their own imaginations.  Daria, as long as you\'ve got a foot in their world - then if it were me, I wouldn\'t leave until they threw me off the team.  Grab that teat and milk it for all it\'s worth.&quot;\n\n&quot;Wow,&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;Good Lord.  Was I [i:1822pxr6]that[/i:1822pxr6] profound?&quot;\n\n&quot;No,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;It\'s just the kind of advice I [i:1822pxr6]didn\'t[/i:1822pxr6] think you\'d give. Not with all that shit you gave me about being a rebel.&quot;\n\n&quot;Who says a jock can\'t be a rebel?  Go look up old Broadway Joe Namath.  Like I said, use this as fuel for your writing.  Besides, unlike most other sports, swimming and diving are skills you can actually [i:1822pxr6]use[/i:1822pxr6].&quot;\n\n&quot;I guess. Dammit,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;Now I have to go back.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, toughen up, kid,&quot; Key said.  &quot;Oh, by the way, don\'t worry about the money for this trip to Hollywood.  I have it all squared away.  E-mail me your parents\' number and we\'ll set this up.  Hope it goes [i:1822pxr6]swimmingly[/i:1822pxr6] for you.&quot;\n\nDaria muttered under her breath as she left the room.  If Key had heard what she had said, he might not have paid for her trip.\n\n(* * *)\n\nIt was Quinn\'s final exam of the week.  Her final story for Fantasy and Imagination had been turned in.  It was very brief, briefer than the expected 2,000 words that Mr. Richardson had asked of the class.  It was the story of a young woman who invents a wishing machine.  It grants all of her wishes and she builds up to her final wish, to have the guy of her dreams.\n\nUnfortunately, the wish machine fails.  She doesn\'t get the man of her dreams, and she is devastated.  Her cynical older sister imparts a lesson - &quot;If you can\'t live without it...then [i:1822pxr6]don\'t[/i:1822pxr6] wish for it.  No one should ever love anything that much.  Never let your dreams be hostage to fate.&quot;  The girl destroys the machine.\n\nQuinn didn\'t know how well she had done on her finals that week.  She honestly didn\'t care.  She could barely study.  She slid the paper under Richardson\'s door and prepared to forget the horrible week.  \n\nHer hope was that he would send an e-mail message.  Or call.  Or text.  Or do something.  But no.  And when she saw him again - even on a campus as big as Fielding\'s - she didn\'t know if she could take it.  Half of her hoped never to see him again and the other half wanted to beg him to break up with Buttons for her sake.  But her rational mind knew that begging and pleading were not the answer, not in this case.  Shuler\'s actions proved they had no future together; she was a fool to even think of it.\n\nQuinn\'s Blackberry buzzed.  Quinn got phone calls and messages all the time, for various reasons, but for the entire week the phone ringing had been a slow, slow torture.  With every new call her heart leapt, hoping that it was Shuler to call and beg forgiveness.  \n\nBut he never called.  [i:1822pxr6]His roommate must have told him what happened.[/i:1822pxr6]  The angry part of her, the part that wanted Shuler to burn in Hell forever and ever, asserted itself.  It was a need that couldn\'t be fulfilled.\n\nIt was a text from Pat Seven:  \n\n[b:1822pxr6]Quinn - There is something very important I must discuss with you before you leave this year.  It involves recent events. It cannot wait.  Please meet me at the Spencer Building Room 143. - Pat.[/b:1822pxr6]\n\n[i:1822pxr6]Pat[/i:1822pxr6].  Pat didn\'t know...at least she still had Pat going for her.  But...this was an odd note.  He would have tried to call, at least.  He hadn\'t been calling recently.  And there were no endearments, no \'Dearest Kiki,\' no \'XOXOXO.\'  It was very dry, very dry for Pat\'s manner of texting.\n\nThat was when a fear struck her.  [i:1822pxr6]Pat knows.  He knows everything.  He\'s going to break up with me.  I don\'t know if I can take it.  Not after Shuler.  Not Pat, too.[/i:1822pxr6]\n\nShe tried calling Pat on her cell phone.  [i:1822pxr6]No answer[/i:1822pxr6].  For some unknown reason she started to cry.  [i:1822pxr6]Why?  Why now?  Why would I cry?  I put up with Pat for so long, I got tired of all his damn text messages, he\'s such a burden sometimes.  But if he goes....[/i:1822pxr6]\n\nHer mind flipped a coin:  a long, morose walk to the Spencer Building or to run in a sprint?  Crying, she resolved to sprint.   Maybe the pain would be dulled on the way there.\n\n(* * *)\n\nThe door was closed.  It was silent inside.  Quinn couldn\'t even make out any light through the window.  [i:1822pxr6]Is he even here yet?[/i:1822pxr6]\n\nQuinn opened the door and....\n\n...&quot;[b:1822pxr6]SURPRISE!!![/b:1822pxr6]&quot;\n\nThe lights flipped on and Pat Seven and Jill Yardborough leapt out from behind the desk.  Behind her was Patty Clark, who had switched the lights on.\n\n&quot;A...a surprise party?&quot; Quinn said. \n\n&quot;Indeed, Dearest Kiki,&quot; Pat Seven said with a lopsided smile.  &quot;I assumed that you were somewhat depressed after your performance and I thought that you could use a bit of the old rah-rah.  And therefore, I arranged this small informal.&quot;\n\n&quot;We have cake!&quot; said Jill. &quot;Cake is coming!&quot;\n\n&quot;Uh...[i:1822pxr6]thank you[/i:1822pxr6].&quot;  Quinn could finally smile.\n\n&quot;Remember last term when you thought you were going to fail?&quot; Jill said.  &quot;Well, here you are now, one year behind you.  You are no longer a Fielding virgin.&quot;\n\nQuinn tried not to wince at the term.  &quot;I guess not.  But Pat...that was a very strange text message and I tried calling you.&quot;\n\n&quot;I was arranging a bit of a surprise, and I asked Jill to send you a text,&quot; Pat said.\n\n&quot;I couldn\'t answer the phone,&quot; Jill said, &quot;because I thought you\'d be like, \'why is Jill answering Pat\'s phone?\'  It would be like too complicated to explain.&quot;\n\n&quot;Definitely,&quot; Quinn said.\n\n&quot;You should have let me put this together, Pat,&quot; Patty said.\n\n&quot;No, I insist.  We still have one final guest of honor.&quot;\n\n&quot;Here comes the cake!&quot; Patty said, looking down the hall. Clearly, someone outside of the room was bringing in the cake.  Patty opened the door wider for the cake to arrive.\n\nQuinn could see the front of a cart entering the room - a cart steered by [i:1822pxr6]Buttons Gwinnett[/i:1822pxr6].  &quot;Hello, Quinn!  I wanted to be part of the surprise, too!  I hope you\'re still a little bit surprised!&quot;\n\n&quot;I am,&quot; Quinn said, trying to keep her emotions under control.\n\n&quot;I would have been here sooner, but I was seeing Shuler off.  He\'s just so remote recently.  I don\'t know why.&quot;\n\nQuinn thought [i:1822pxr6]she knows[/i:1822pxr6] and looked directly into Buttons\'s eyes.  The only thing that was returned by them was Quinn\'s own reflection.  Buttons\'s face was as genuinely happy as it ever was.  [i:1822pxr6]No.  No, she doesn\'t know anything at all.  Shuler didn\'t tell her.  It\'s just Buttons being Buttons.  He cheated on her and she doesn\'t know it, and she doesn\'t need to know it.  There will never be any reason for either of us to tell her.[/i:1822pxr6]\n\n&quot;Well,&quot; said Quinn, &quot;actors have their own distractions.&quot;\n\n&quot;You should know, my angel,&quot; Pat said, &quot;...being a burgeoning star of the ol\' footlights.  \'Burgeoning\'?  Is that a word, you think?&quot;\n\n&quot;Actually,&quot; Quinn said, smiling.  &quot;I think I\'m going...to give up drama.  Drama isn\'t for me.&quot;  She smiled again, almost beaming.  She suspected that the life of an actor was hard, but she never knew how hard it could be until this moment.  Even though it was an agony, she smiled, drawing up all that she had learned as an actor, her closing performance and one only for a select group of friends.\n\n&quot;Quinn, you\'ll be great in whatever you do,&quot; Patty said.  \n\n&quot;And we have Tops together!&quot; Buttons said.  &quot;It\'ll be so much fun!&quot;  \n\n&quot;Light the candles!&quot;   Pat Seven had arranged a set of candles on the cake that read CONGRATULATIONS KIKI!  WE LOVE YOU!  Jill and Buttons began lighting the candles separately until the cake was practically ablaze.\n\n&quot;Now,&quot; cried Pat Seven, &quot;[i:1822pxr6]make a wish[/i:1822pxr6]!  One, two...!&quot;\n\n(* * *)\n\nZip was wearing her Tommy Hilfiger polo.  All of her crap was packed away and a taxi would be there in an hour.  Donna Whitfield sat on the opposite bed, which had been completely stripped.  Zip\'s roommate had left the day before.\n\nClosing the door, Zip walked over to the potted plant and lifted the plant and the clump of dirt nourishing its roots out of the pot.  Underneath it all was a bottle of booze.  Zip poured Donna a couple of inches\' worth, and Donna jostled the liquor in its plastic cup.\n\n&quot;To Fielding Swim next year!&quot; Zip said.  &quot;Whip the Quakers!&quot;\n\n&quot;Whip the Quakers!&quot; Donna said, referring to Gilbert Friends.  (Who were actually the Milliners but were always called \'Quakers\' by opposing teams.)  \n\n&quot;How did it turn out?&quot; Zip asked.\n\n&quot;I called Elsie and asked who she thought Daria would ask.  She said she\'d talk to Victor Key.  Mr. Key was on Fielding Boys Swim like a millennium ago.  I promised him $1000 of your cash and he agreed.  He didn\'t think she\'d ask him, but she did.&quot;\n\n&quot;Rock.  ON.&quot;  Zip\'s grin was a triumphant one.  &quot;And he told her to stay?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah.  That plan worked perfectly,&quot; Donna said.  &quot;How does it make you feel?&quot;\n\n&quot;It makes me feel...[i:1822pxr6]smart[/i:1822pxr6],&quot; Zip said.\n\n&quot;Like a brain?&quot;\n\n&quot;Close enough!&quot;  Zip raised her plastic cup, an invitation to Donna to make an imaginary clink of glasses in a toast.  &quot;Here\'s to another boss year of Fielding Swim.

It was the first automobile entirely designed as such to generate its own power, not simply a motorized stage coach or horse carriage, which is why Karl Benz was granted his patent and is regarded as its inventor. \n\nOn 28 June 1914, Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian-Serb student and member of  young Bosnia, assassinated the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, in Sarajevo, Bosnia. This began a period of diplomatic maneuvering between Austria-Hungary, Germany, Russia, France and Britain called the July Crisis. \n\nOn 21 July in 1969 Neil Armstrong made the first steps on the moon, being the first man to ever set foot on it. His words “That\'s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” made history.\n\nBut all that has nothing to do with the now following story.[/i:2yxvvdse]\n- Chester the dog\n\n–\n\n[i:2yxvvdse]Some people say that Mack was the first Legionnaire to ever acquire an arch nemesis. While this is certainly true if you count it from the moment someone became a member, the first Legionnaire to have an arch nemesis if you count the time before the Legion would certainly be Alexey Borisowitsch Ulanow. And if you take the difference of time from his home dimension to ours, then he had even met his foe before any of the other Legionnaires were even born.\n\nAlex and “Small Joe” were born to hate each other, they were the classic example of a legacy of violence. Their home countries hated each other with a passion, regarding the other with hurt pride, fear and arrogance. Both were totalitarian systems, build onto the backs of their people: two of the three major powers of their world. It was only a question of time before they were going to war.\n\nWe assume that “Small Joe” had been a fully trained and drilled warrior, bred to kill and never to ask questions, never to question his orders. The only feelings he had for Soviet citizens were those of disdain, in his eyes they were barbarians not worthy of breathing the same air as he did. It is assumed that he had killed uncounted people before he got ripped from his home world into ours, thus surviving the destruction of his home.\n\nAlexey, on the other hand, was a normal Soviet soldier the time he had to battle the Japanese forces, and he had learned to hate them the hard way. He had seen how they had killed civilians, how they executed comrades of his, how they committed suicide rather than to fall into enemy hands. For him they were crazy, bloodthirsty animals, sick to the bone and only good when dead. \n\nIt is no wonder that every confrontation of these two always ended it massive property damage.[/i:2yxvvdse]\n- Stefan Kremp, Journalist, [i:2yxvvdse]Crazy, but at least never boring[/i:2yxvvdse]\n\n–\n\nWhen Linda Griffin woke up the first time, she was staring up to a white ceiling and a nurse was changing her infusion, seconds before she slipped back into unconsciousness. The second time she woke up she was able to listen to a doctor for a few moments, explaining what had happened to her before she fell asleep again. Damn painkillers.\n\nThe third time she woke up, she was finally able to stay awake for longer than a few seconds and immediately she noticed how unfashionable these nurse uniforms where. Just why were there so many men who were totally perving over them? She snorted. Men.\n\nAfter another visit from a doctor - a rather cute one even if a bit older than her, but the gray temples only added character - another man walked into her hospital room, clad in a suit at least ten years out of fashion, and slightly overweight.\n\n“Miss Griffin?” he asked her, his voice steady and softer than she had thought. She had no idea why, but she had immediately pictured him with a gruff, raspy voice.\n\nShe nodded. “Yes, Linda Griffin and I prefer it if you call me Linda.”\n\n“Of course Linda.” He seemed amused. “I\'m Captain Jim Brass from the Las Vegas Police Department. I have a few questions for you, if you don\'t mind.”\n\n“I HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG!!!” she screamed with a rising panic. “I swear I had no idea that he was an evil ninja psycho killer, I thought he was just a sexy hitchhiker!!”\n\nThe Detective blinked and needed a moment to collect himself. “Oh... Well, I didn\'t think you knew. How about I sit down, we grab a cup of coffee and you tell me everything from the beginning?”\n\n“Oh, I could kiss you, Captain! Coffee sounds heavenly.”\n\n“Please don\'t, I\'m a happy married man,” he joked with a slight smile.\n\nAnd although she knew that it wasn\'t true - he wasn\'t wearing a ring - she said nothing about it. A few minutes and a few sips of coffee later, she lay back in her comfy bed and began to talk. “Okay. I had a lot of stress at home with my daughter away and my two little boys making a ruckus. I mean I really love them, they are my sons, but sometimes they drive me crazy with their fighting and their stupid ideas and crazy pranks and they’re not a bit like their sister Sandi, she\'s one of the Legion Girls you know, Sandi Griffin? I\'m really proud of her.”\n\nJim Brass repressed a deep sigh. “About the incident at the motel.”\n\n“Oh.” She seemed to be a bit embarrassed. “I was on a holiday trip. Relaxing, just driving, seeing what will happen, you know?”\n\nHe nodded and smiled a bit amused. “Of course.”\n\n“So, I was driving the car from my ex-husband and thinking about going to Vegas, it seemed to be a good idea at that time.” She made a small pause and took a sip from her coffee before she continued. “Then I saw this guy walking down the road and I thought I\'d be a good girl and give him a ride... I mean, a lift... I mean, you know...”\n\n“Of course.” He seemed to become more amused by the second. “Was it this man?”\n\nHe took a photo out of his pocket and showed it to her but she shook her head.\n\n“No, although he is rather cute too, but way too young. That\'s the other guy.”\n\n“Other guy?”\n\n“Yes, duh. The guy who was fighting the evil ninja psycho killer?”\n\n“Who?” He had clearly no idea what she was talking about. Or whom.\n\n“The guy with the swords and the throwing stars and the black suit?” she asked alarmed. “The guy who tried to kill me?!”\n\n“Wait a second,” the Detective said and held up a hand to stop her. He took a second to collect himself and his thoughts, before he asked: “Are you telling me there were two of them?”\n\n“Yes.”\n\nHe took a minute to let that sink in, and then his shoulders slumped down. “Damn it.”\n\nTaking another sip from her coffee Linda Griffin said: “Anyway, back to my story. I was minding my own business, trying to flirt a bit with this cute cowboy or whatever he was, when this evil ninja psycho killer appeared.”\n\n“Ninja?”\n\n“Yes, with swords and black jumpsuit and everything.”\n\n–\n\n[i:2yxvvdse]”He tried to kill me and I had to flee running away like one of this girls from a teenie slasher movie, screaming and half naked and all.”[/i:2yxvvdse]\n\nScreaming at the top of her lungs she ran as fast as her feet were carrying her. Adrenalin was pumping through her veins while she remembered all the rumors about psycho killers lurking on the highways, waiting to kill beautiful women.\n\n[i:2yxvvdse]”I was afraid and just ran away as fast as I could, not really caring where I was running, just away from him. Then something hit me.”[/i:2yxvvdse]\n\nA sharp pain shot through her whole body and for a second everything became black, the next instant she was lying on the dirty ground, her nose bloodied, her knees chaffed and her whole body hurting like a truck had hit her. Her shoulder was on fire, like someone had slammed a rusty knife into it and was turning it around.\n\nThe thought that she will die hit her like Thor\'s Hammer right in the face. Tears were beginning to flow out of her eyes and stream down her face. Never again she would be able to... to... to do what? There was nothing she had ever done and wanted to do again, like spending enough time with her daughter or driving her sons to their soccer training.\n\nWell, the only thing she could think of was, that she wanted at least one last romp. A divorced single mother with two little demons as sons? No real good chances in the single scene.\n\n[i:2yxvvdse]”I thought he was gonna kill me, you know? Like, chopping my head of with a sword or a chainsaw or something. But then the other guy appeared.”[/i:2yxvvdse]\n\nShe heard cursing and another voice over her, but she still was too afraid to look up or even move. She heard someone mumbling something in a language she did not understand, perhaps Chinese or something. It was becoming hard to focus.\n\nSomeone was shooting and cursing and the sound when metal hit metal was filling the air, bodies moving around and more cursing and shooting. It was like listening to the sound of an action movie without seeing the pictures. Still afraid, she opened one eye and dared to risk a look. \n\nThe first thing she saw was a young man, perhaps as old as her daughter, clad only in outdated, dirty pants and boots, holding a sword and a machine gun, firing away with vigor into the night. He was cursing in this strange language (at least she assumed that he was cursing because his face looked like it) and standing sideways to her, not noticing that she was awake.\n\n[i:2yxvvdse]”He wasn\'t shooting at me. I think he was protecting me.”[/i:2yxvvdse]\n\nSomething came out of the darkness and jumped at the young man, a monster in human form, clad in some sort of armor. His swords were moving with such a speed that they were blurred for her, while he was attacking with cold efficiency. It nearly looked like they were dancing.\n\nThe young man was hacking with his own sword and firing with his gun, once there was even fire coming out of his hand, but he was unable to hit. His enemy was dancing around him and did not even seemed like he was taking it seriously, moving with an unearthly grace and speed, evading every attack with ease before he hit himself, cutting through skin, flesh and veins with ease.\n\n[i:2yxvvdse]”Everything was getting blurry. Like seeing something through water, you know?”[/i:2yxvvdse]\n\nShe repressed a shudder when she saw how the evil ninja psycho killer whirled around and cut his enemy open, blood splattering in every direction. She only saw the back of the half naked man, but she could see how the blood was dripping down from the blade.\n\nIt seemed to be in slow motion how he stepped back to look at his work. He appeared to be a monster in human form, like Jason Voorhees or Michael Myers from the movies her sons liked to watch. She knew that if she would survive this, that she would always remember him in her nightmares.\n\nShe did not know it, but the designer of the Shinobi battle suit had a few things in mind while working on the project:\n1.Efficiency\n2.Intimidation\n3.Efficiency\n4.Patriotism\n5.Impressing the cute lab assistant from down the hall\nHe had succeeded in every respect. (They married three month later. He and the lab assistant, not the suit.)\n\nIt was the best product he ever produced. This pitch black suit features a dynamic Kevlar bi-weave that can stop slashing weapons and can also deflect any bullet short of a straight shot impact; reinforced joints that supposedly allow maximum flexibility and mobility; built-in temperature regulators designed to keep the wearer at a comfortable temperature in almost any condition.\n\nAnd that\'s only for the main body; different technologies were worked into the gauntlets, the boots, the helmet, and the armor. Over the upper body was a thin layer of armor built out of different alloys, also pitch black, automatically lessening any hits and taking a lot of the power from any attack, protecting the most important organs and neck.\n\nThere were only two colored parts in the suit. The green, round glasses over the eyes that were nearly comically large, and the single orange kanji symbol for “Wind” over the chest. All in all, he had a terrifying appearance, only the hat on his head seemed a bit comical. But even then, comical in a disturbing king of way.\n\n[i:2yxvvdse]”It was... terrible... Blood everywhere and he was still standing. Like he was refusing to go down.”[/i:2yxvvdse]\n\nShe saw how the blood was trickling down the pants of her young protector, more than enough to kill most people. The next moment he was hit with incredible force and flew backwards, out of her sight.\n\n–\n\n“Please state your full name.”\n\nThe Detective got no answer, like all the times before. She had nearly given up on the idea of getting anything out of this suspect; he was silent as a grave, just sitting there and playing with a pack of cigarettes.\n\nDetective Sofia Curtis suppressed the urge to sigh. He was just sitting there, staring at her, his mouth curved in a slight smile like he knew something she did not. But his eyes lacked the look of superiority and arrogance she had seen so many times before, he just seemed to be amused by her. Or by all of it. His arrest, the whole case, and the fact that there were thirteen dead people in the motel he had blown skywards.\n\n“Listen,” she tried again and leaned forward. “We want to know what happened. If you don\'t talk to us the judge will see that as a sign of guilt. You would be lucky to be thrown in prison for the rest of your life. If you cooperate we can perhaps work something out.”\n\nHe shifted on his stool and kept his silence. He studied her and she did the same.\n\nHis dirty blond hair was dirtied with sand, grease and dried blood but still spiky. He had a strong chin and bright eyes, only a shadow of stubbles in his face. He was way too young, way too young to be a killer, a murderer. But he appeared to be just that.\n\nAnd he had this aura around him. Like he had seen too much too early, like a kid from a street gang or a young soldier from a war torn African country.\n\n“Okay, then: just listen, have it your way.” She said and pulled a pair of photos out of the slim folder. The first showed a burned corpse, still smoldering. “That\'s Michael Faren, a young man from Austin. He was on a backpacking tour through the states together with his girlfriend Alison.”\n\nShe showed him the second photo, again showing a burned corpse. “That\'s her. We could only identify her by her teeth. She had a little sister and a little brother, both nine years old.”\n\nAnother photo was shown to him. More burned corpses and a destroyed Motel. Another photo, this time showing an embraced couple, their corpses still at least a bit intact. And another one. And another one.\n\nFinally she had shown him twenty-six photographs, but he had still not shown any emotion besides resignation. And he kept his silence.\n\nShe leaned back in her chair. “They will put you in the chair. You know that.”\n\n“Da.”\n\nShe nearly jumped when he answered. After more than three hours of questioning he had finally responded. His voice was raspy and strong, steady like he was just talking about the weather.\n\n“You will kill me,” he rumbled and allowed himself a small, sad smile. “A could tell you what had happened. But you not believe.”\n\n“Try me?”\n\nHe raised an eyebrow. “Trrye you what?”\n\n“Try to tell me. Perhaps I will believe you.”\n\n“No,” he just said. “But a will say name. Alexey Borisowitsch Ulanow.”\n\n“You\'re Russian?”\n\n“Da.”\n\n“So Alexey, what happened?”\n\nHe looked at her for a second, before he snorted. “Why you carre?”\n\n“Because I want to know the truth,” she answered truthfully.\n\nAgain he seemed to be amused. “Perrhaps you want. But yourr bosses? No, they want not truth. They want good press.”\n\nAlthough she would have loved to respond to that, she knew that it was senseless. It was apparent that he did not trust her. Or at least not what she represented. “So, what do you have to lose? Anything\'s better than saying nothing.”\n\n“Well, then…” His grin became mockingly big. “... what do you know about Ninjas?”\n\nShe suppressed another sigh. This would be a looooooooooooong day.\n\n–\n\nCaptain Jim Brass watched how their suspected murderer was taken back to prison. It was a strange case, and a gruesome one. Thirteen dead people in a burned down motel, a half naked unconsciousness woman laying in front of it, and an unknown but highly suspect young man next to her, fresh wounds all over his body but none of them serious enough to kill or even hinder him.\n\n[i:2yxvvdse]That guy is like Rambo. Every normal man would be dead by now.[/i:2yxvvdse] He hoped he would never meet him in a dark alley, because he did not believe that a bullet would stop him.\n\nHe had even refused to let a doctor see his wounds, just asked for some bandages and did it himself.\n\nHe looked over the report from the CSI-Team investigating the crime scene. His eyes bulged.\n\n[i:2yxvvdse]What the hell?[/i:2yxvvdse] That looked like some sort of war zone, not a motel. Traces of heavy weapon fire, more than six hundred shell casings, three impaction zones of a rocket launcher, shell splinters all over the place. [i:2yxvvdse]That cannot be right.[/i:2yxvvdse]\n\nHe grabbed his phone and dialed a number well known to him. “Catherine, please tell me you\'re joking?”\n\n[i:2yxvvdse]”No Jim, I\'m afraid not.”[/i:2yxvvdse]\n\n“Damn it.”\n\n[i:2yxvvdse]”You\'re taking the words right out of my mouth.”[/i:2yxvvdse]\n\nHe sighed. “Thanks.” Then he hung up. [i:2yxvvdse]I need a drink.[/i:2yxvvdse]\n\nA knock on his office door made him look up and he saw Sofia, his partner, standing in the doorway.\n\n“Hi. Please tell me you have good news, because frankly all this creeps me out.”\n\nHer pained face said everything. “Afraid not,” she answered and let herself fall into the chair opposite from his. “He refuses to talk with me. With anyone. He doesn\'t trust us.”\n\n“I wouldn\'t trust us either”, he mumbled. “This whole case is just crazy. I have talked to our sole survivor and what she had told me was just as crazy as everything else.”\n\n“Let me guess,” she said and looked at him with interested eyes. “Ninjas.”\n\n“Her exact words were “Evil ninja psycho killer”, but yes, ninjas. Or at least a single one.”\n\nBoth starred at each other for a second. If one person told such a story. it could be nothing more than a drug infused hallucination or a crazy tale to be declared insane. But two?\n\nThey had no idea that they had the exact same thought at the same time.

Elsie was right where Bianca wanted her, and didn’t have many choices other than to follow her. The earrings spoke loudly in Christine’s mind, and hysteria trumped reasoning oh so many times. Any politician could have told her that. \n	\n“I...I don’t know. Maybe.” Christine started to become uncertain.\n	\n“Well, I’m pretty sure it’s all here. Who would take anything else and leave earrings where they were found.” Bianca steered. \n	\n“But...we don’t have any servants here, they’re all back with my parents. The only person who stayed here was my nanny, and she’d never do anything like that, never.” \n\n“Well, I’d never suspect someone you know so easily. And, I don’t like to admit it, but there’s only one other person here...”\n	\n“Nadine!” Christine shouted, and quickly ran out of the room. \n	\n“What a horrible thing.” Bianca commented absently. “No one hurt, hopefully.” Elsie was looking at Bianca oddly, and Bianca knew just what she was thinking: She was confused, this was an unusual tactic: Ruination of Nadine as a thief would hurt Bianca by proxy: She’d be “The cousin of that thief” or whatever the gossip would call her. \n	\nTruly, though, Bianca didn’t care about them. While she’d certainly come back to America again, she wouldn’t be around this crowd. What did she care what they thought? Only Tom would be the one to keep, if he truly wanted such a thing. And he would not care if Nadine was a thief or not. \n	\nBut Bianca plastered a perfect smile on her face.\n	\n“At least no one was hurt.” The standard deflection for any “minor” crime. “Is your ride coming? I think if Christine is thinking what I’m thinking, I really don’t want to stick around for this.” \n	\nElsie didn’t answer. \n	\n“Are you all right, Elsie, you’re quiet.” Bianca rather enjoyed putting Elsie in an awkward position, but she couldn’t let it go to her head, she still needed to keep her cool. \n	\n“I...I just can’t believe it. How did those earrings end up here?”\n	\n“Perhaps you can ask Nadine. Well, if your ride isn’t showing up, I will drive when my uncle shows up, because he’s going to have too. They’ll bring an extra car for us, surely. They’ll have an interesting talk on the drive home. Don’t worry, I know your American traffic laws.” Bianca smiled. That was enough, she supposed. Christine was in full rampage mode, and Elsie could do nothing to stop it, lest she looked suspicious. The earrings, after all, were found in her possession. No, Elsie would be a good little girl.\n	\nAt least, until the next phase of the plan. And Bianca excused herself to make a phone call.\n\n	\nThe Whittakers arrived not long after they had been called. Just as Bianca had said, they brought two cars with the full intention of having Bianca drive one with Elsie. Not wanting to stick around, Elsie opted for the offer to head home.\n	\nElsie said nothing on the way home, she was still uncertain of what Bianca’s angle was in all of this. Had she truly written off Nadine and embraced Tom? Family was supposed to be thicker, but from what Elsie knew of Nadine, that girl wasn’t worth knowing a lot of to begin with. \n	\nFor now, she wouldn’t talk about it. If this was the case, this was a compromise Elsie could live with. Nadine was the one trying to make Elsie look bad, if Charles’s coercion could be believed, and, truly, he could. Bianca was merely an agent, the Reed. Agents knew to keep their alliances fluid, and Elsie was nothing if not an accomodating patron. If she did see through this scheme, Bianca could be usable.\n	\nOf course, it was likely moot. Bianca would be back to Hungary shortly, and Elsie would likely never see her again. But still, it was nice to know that her doofus of a brother had his uses in the game. \n	\nBianca dropped off Elsie at her home, and declined the offer to stay. \n	\n“I should head back. They’ll be looking for me, anyway. At least, after they’re finished trying to keep everything silent, without the police involved.” Bianca remarked. The way Elsie wanted things to stay. And so, she nodded.\n	\n“I’m so sorry our night was ruined by that.” Bianca replied.\n	\n“Do not be. Oh, if only my ride didn’t have engine trouble.” Elsie bemoaned. A fake game of assuming blame without really admitting fault: Yet another standard of the idle rich. And with another friendly nod, Elsie headed back into her home. \n	\nShe knew her mother had an event with the gallery, and her father, like most weekends with fair weather, was out golfing. \n	\nShe would have to give Reed a call, she knew. But he was probably busy with Lance and the Twins, getting all of the juicy details of the heist. So, Elsie reasoned she may as well start the gossip chain with Tom. He wasn’t much of a gossip, but the more people that knew, the better.\n	\nShe found him watching that horrible TV show, about fast food restaurants putting prescription medicines in their burgers and whatever other stuff they made up to sound good.\n	\n“Elsie.” Tom greeted her dourly, as he always did.\n	\n“Enjoy your boys’ night?” Elsie asked.\n	\n“I won bowling, your friend Reed won darts, and then I scratched the 8 ball. And I’m sure Christine’s party was every bit the enjoyable affair.”\n	\n“Oh, it was exciting, but not the party. A flat tire caused us to stay the night, and while we there, Nadine engaged in some horrible behavior.” She spared no detail after her introduction, telling Tom of what she did.\n	\n“And she tried to frame you, huh?” Tom asked. \n	\n“Can you believe it. If it wasn’t for Bianca, who knows what could have happened.” \n	\n“Well, sometimes at those parties, something interesting does happen.” Tom shrugged. “But, well, I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you that. That reminds me, Bianca and I are going out for pizza, so if Mom asks, that’s where I am. Don’t wait up.” And Tom dusted himself off and headed to his room, probably to change or get ready.\n	\nBianca was just here though, he didn’t ride with her? \n	\nBut Elsie shrugged, it was still rather early for pizza. And Bianca made it clear she wasn’t Elsie’s enemy. She could concentrate on other factors now. \n	\nAs to what those factors were, well, Reed had that boys’ night for another reason. Boys were old money and could talk about old money just as girls could. And, more likely, they also provided gossip, about the same things, but with a new perspective. What a boy said about a girl, was different than what a girl said about a girl.\n	\nPerhaps Reed learned a new diversion. Nadine had taken up far too much time. She needed fresh blood.','e149ba48ac6e8935cd43b5f3b9e58764',0,'IA==','2fteafeq',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460535,31900,6,59,0,'98.214.72.176',1297392951,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Rewarding the classics','[quote=&quot;Ardneh&quot;:3q7rs1am][quote=&quot;Liz Ruiz&quot;:3q7rs1am](the limit is 5 individual stories, 2 series, all written during the show\'s original run) [/quote:3q7rs1am]\nI have a question about what you mean by the original run.

Daria showed no reaction to her usual 100, while Jane smiled at Mr. DeMartino and held up her 86 proudly.\n	“Mr. D, you agreed with me that the Soviets would have done better against the Nazi’s if they’d been using skis during the winter battles?”\n	“Ms. Lane, your SARCASM has actually unearthed a stray bit of KNOWLEDGE that I was unaware you had. This in fact actually DID HAPPEN, with varying degrees of success.”\n	“Cool,” said Jane, smiling even bigger. Kevin looked up from the 19 on his test in worse confusion than usual.\n	“Hey, Mr. D? Why’d I get such a low score? I answered the questions!”\n	“KEVIN! With that test, you have managed to single-handedly undo THREE YEARS worth of AA meetings! Your belief that the United States won the Battle of the Bulge by using X-Wings is not only an insult to the fine men that FOUGHT in that battle, but to ME PERSONALLY as an EDUCATOR!”\n	The bell rang, saving Kevin from further onslaught. As he walked out the door, he was heard to say, “But Babe, I saw it on the Pigskin Channel! They’d never lie to me!”\n\n	Exiting the building, Daria and Jane began their daily walk home.\n	“Coming to the Zon tonight?” Jane asked, a small hint in her voice.\n	“Anyone besides Mystic Spiral playing?” Daria asked, keeping her face forward and praying she wouldn’t blush.\n	“The Spiral is off tonight. Max has a temp job with a construction crew, its Nick’s weekend with his daughter, and we couldn’t scrape up bail for Jesse. Possession is starting to become a big deal again. Trent is doing a solo show, and he says he has a new song he wrote for a special girl,” Jane said, no longer able to keep the smile off her face.\nIn full blush mode, Daria fought to keep her voice steady. “Hmm…. I guess I can break away for a night and see Trent play. He doesn’t usually do solo gigs, so he could use the support, I guess.”\n“Right, you’re just there to support his music,” Jane chuckled as they passed her house. “Meet up here at six, and please, Daria, try to dress up a little.” Still chuckling, Jane went into her house.\n\nArriving home, Daria dropped her bag on her bed and opened her closet. The only clothing she had aside from three copies of her usual outfit was a pair of jeans, her black t-shirt, the pink baby-t from Quinn’s Brain Phase [i:4xrhmbd1](Why do I still have that thing?)[/i:4xrhmbd1], and the blue dress from Erin’s wedding. Sighing to herself, she grabbed the jeans and black shirt and draped them over her chair, along with a fresh green jacket. Proceeding downstairs, she went to the kitchen and got a glass of water. Her mother was sitting at the table going over a legal brief.\n“Mom?”\n	“Yes, Daria,” Helen answered, not looking up.\n“How much do you think a few new outfits would run?”\nHelen jumped up so quickly that her chair fell over. “Daria, are you ok? What’s wrong?”\n“Nothing’s wrong. I just realized that I don’t have a lot of clothes and maybe a couple of new outfits wouldn’t compromise my concepts of integrity. Besides, I’d have to do less laundry to keep my shirts in circulation.”\n“If you want, we can go out tomorrow. I’ve got the day off and we can take you then.”\n“Thanks. Mom, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but I’m not trying to be Quinn about this. I just want a few more things, like some t-shirts and jeans, ok?”\n“Honey, I’m not going to pressure you, although I might insist that you consider getting a nice dress. You never know when something will come up that you might need one,” Helen said, putting just enough of a lawyer tone in her voice to remind Daria who would be paying for the clothes if she said No to the dress.\n“Fine,” Daria sighed, turning to leave.\n“Daria, what brought this on, if you don’t mind my asking.”\n[i:4xrhmbd1]Damn.[/i:4xrhmbd1] “I’m going to the Zon tonight and Jane told me to dress up a little. It made me realize I don’t have anything to dress up in. That’s all.”\n“Why would she want you to dress up? Isn’t the Zon a grunge club?” Helen asked, giving Daria a mild lawyer gaze.\n“Because Jane’s brother is playing tonight, and he doesn’t do solo shows often, so she wants us to look nice to boost his confidence,” Daria said, feeling the red return to her face. Helen, seeing Daria start to blush, proved that her basic math skills were intact.\n[i:4xrhmbd1]2+2=Daria finally being interested in something besides her books[/i:4xrhmbd1], she thought, suppressing a smile. “Well, go have fun tonight, ok?”\n\nA few minutes before six, Daria arrived at Casa Lane. A touch to the doorbell gave her a mild shock and no ring, so she just went inside and straight to Jane’s room. Jane was wearing a red sleeveless shirt she had dug out of her closet along with a pair of black jeans. A knock on the door and Daria walked in.\n“When does Trent start his show?”\n“Eight, but we need to get him to the Zon and at least buzzed before he goes up there. He’s fine with the band backing him, but freezes when it’s just him. Hence, the lack of solo gigs.” Jane paused for a moment, looking at Daria closely. “Are you wearing makeup?! [i:4xrhmbd1]And where are your glasses[/i:4xrhmbd1]?!”\n“Just a little lipstick and a touch of mascara. And mom finally got me those soft contacts that don’t irritate as much. You said to dress up, right?” Daria said, blushing brightly as her tone dared Jane to continue.\nJane raised her hands in surrender and, with a smirk, walked to the kitchen and pulled four frozen marbles out of the freezer. At Trent’s door, she said to Daria, “You have to wake him just right, or he gets all confused.” She entered, and after a moment of silence, Trent awoke with a yell.\n“Janey! I told you not to put those there anymore!”\n\nAt the Zon, Trent was finishing his third beer when the owner announced it was his time. After a deep breath, he walked out on the stage and started to freeze, but saw Jane and Daria standing right in front of him. With a grin, we walked to the mike.\n“I’m Trent Lane, and Mystic Spiral isn’t dead, just taking the night off to come back stronger.” He started playing an acoustic version of ‘Icebox Woman’ to moderate approval from the audience.\n“Why does he always start with that song?” Daria asked Jane.\n“So the crowd knows that the show can only get better,” Jane replied.\n“He’s much better acoustic, I think,” Daria mused. “Maybe he should have the Spiral tone things down a bit.”\n“Mention that around the band and they’ll take you off the mailing list,” Jane said with a smirk. A smattering of applause came from the crowd as Trent finished.\n“This next song is dedicated to a very special girl. She’s someone I admire, and who’s opinion means more to me than anyone else except my sister, Janey. She’s beautiful and smart, and always knows just what to say.”\nDaria felt Jane nudge her in the ribs as she became aware of the bright red flush she had undertaken.\n“This song is called, [i:4xrhmbd1]My Muse in Black[/i:4xrhmbd1], and it’s dedicated to you,”\nDaria felt a Mona Lisa smile start to form.\n“Monique.”\nTrent began playing, but somehow Daria couldn’t hear any of it. She was dimly aware of Jane talking, trying to get her attention, but found it hard to concentrate as Jane, and everything else she could see, began to blur.\nShe turned and pushed through the crowd, wiping her eyes. Standing by the exit was Monique. Ignoring Daria completely, she had a look of pure adoration on her face. Daria kicked open the door and ran outside, breathing the cold night air in deeply. Shuddering as she fought to keep more tears from flowing, she started to walk home.\n\n\n[b:4xrhmbd1][i:4xrhmbd1]THE NEXT MORNING[/i:4xrhmbd1][/b:4xrhmbd1]\n\nJane was dragged from her sleep by the phone ringing. Forcing her eyes open, she looked at the Caller ID and saw that is was Daria. She hit the ‘Answer’ button.\n“Daria, I’m so sorry, I swear to you I had no idea he was going to do that. I honestly thought the song was for you.”\n“Jane?” Helen’s voice cut on, worry evident. “I take Daria isn’t there?”\n“No, I thought she went home last night. She’s not there?”\n“She never came home. Do you have any idea where she could be?”\nWide awake now, Jane bolted upright in bed. “No idea, Mrs. M. She took off pretty early into Trent’s set. He, um, played a song that she hates and she went outside. When she didn’t come back in, I thought she’d caught a cab home.”\n“Is there anyone else’s house she would have gone to?”\n“I can’t think of anyone. Mrs. M, I’m starting to get worried here.”\n	“Me too. I’ll come pick you up in a few minutes, and we can look for Daria, ok? You know the places she would have gone better than I do.”\n“I’ll be downstairs right away.”\nJane walked past Trent’s room and opened the door to yell at him about driving Daria off, but found him asleep, wrapped around Monique with neither wearing much more than the bedsheets. Sighing in disgust, Jane closed the door and walked downstairs. True to her word, Helen pulled up less than a minute after Jane closed the front door.\n“Daria said she was going to the ‘Zon’ last night. I assume you know where that is?” Helen asked as Jane buckled up, fear in her voice.\n“Yeah, it’s downtown on Dega Street. The quickest way is back past your house.”\n“I hope she’s alright,” Helen said as she pulled a tight U-Turn and drove back up the street. Passing the Morgendorffer house, she was shocked to see Daria staggering up the front walk. She jerked the car into the driveway and jumped out.\n“Daria! Where have you been?!” Helen shouted, then embraced Daria tightly as her maternal instincts overrode her anger.\nDaria jumped and started lashing out, pushing Helen as hard as she could. “NO! DON’T TOUCH ME!” Breaking free, she ran inside and slammed door shut. Helen found Daria in her room, gathering up all of her clothes that were in the closet, including the bridesmaid dress. Wordlessly, she walked out of the room and downstairs. Confused, Helen and Jane followed her to the backyard, and watched as she dumped her bundle onto the bar-b-que and soaked them in lighter fluid. With no emotion on her face, she slowly stripped out of the clothes she had worn the night before and added them to the pile, tossing her glasses on at the end.\n“Mommy?” Daria asked in a small voice.\n“Y-yes, Daria?” Helen asked quietly.\n“Can we still go shopping today?” Daria asked.\n“Of course, dear,” Helen said.\n“Good,” Daria said, lighting a match and throwing in onto the clothes. They burst into a bright flame, and Daria collapsed to the ground in tears.\n“Jane,” Helen said, forcing her voice to stay calm. “Please call 911 right now.”\nJane ran to the phone and dialed as Helen sat next to Daria, holding her hand gently.','bfb4c76eeb385476827b9acdd755182d',0,'YA==','4xrhmbd1',1,1297914779,'',1151,6,0),(460553,31105,6,525,0,'70.106.236.237',1297402236,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The Hallowed Halls of Fielding (Part 82 - 2/10/11)','Called it... not that it was hard to call, considering the elements of the story to date <!-- s8) --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif\" alt=\"8)\" title=\"Cool\" /><!-- s8) --> \n\n\n\n[quote=&quot;J-D&quot;:2yowuns6]I think there\'s not enough basis for a definite conclusion about what Key would have done if he hadn\'t been offered the money.

Only way out is for regime to go. People power can\'t be crushed. We shall prevail. Still hope army can join.&quot;\n\nAl-Jazeera TV footage also showed large crowds gathering in Alexandria, Egypt\'s second largest city.\n\nCairo resident Sherine Barakat told the BBC on Friday that she did not think there would be violence between the protesters and the army.\n\n&quot;Yesterday in the square soldiers were saying: \'If you march to the palace, no officer will stand in your way\'.

But many now fear that soldiers may be forced to abandon this approach, if the survival of the regime of which the top brass are an integral part is at risk.\n[/quote:6sfrl40g]','a2500590ef079bf17c89d87f7c827b91',0,'kA==','6sfrl40g',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460595,31899,3,39,0,'78.144.62.220',1297427378,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Something awesome I found at my other forum...','Now that\'s a tattoo.\n\n[quote=&quot;TheExcellentS&quot;:1ek7yrw4]I go into a &quot;Show us your tats&quot; topic [...][/quote:1ek7yrw4]\nJust shows that a simple mis-spelling can lead to a serendipitous find.\n\n <!-- s:mrgreen: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mrgreen.gif\" alt=\":mrgreen:\" title=\"Mr. Green\" /><!-- s:mrgreen: --> \n\nMartin.','88c292fd53b4c1737041e955e350e9c7',0,'gA==','1ek7yrw4',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460596,29281,3,39,0,'78.144.62.220',1297427505,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Universal Birthday Thread','[size=150:2eiu6yrw][color=orange:2eiu6yrw]Happy Birthday, Derek![/color:2eiu6yrw][/size:2eiu6yrw]\n[size=150:2eiu6yrw][color=orange:2eiu6yrw]Happy Birthday, durgarox![/color:2eiu6yrw][/size:2eiu6yrw]\n\nMartin.','12321fb67005b52a6d1914958615ae39',0,'Bg==','2eiu6yrw',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460597,31920,3,981,0,'203.134.139.173',1297427998,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Art rant','My bitch &amp; whine:\n\nNobody ever appreciates the stuff it takes me months to do (eg: the stippled daria &amp; stippled jane pics) but all seem to go nuts over the 5 minute semi-plagiarist sketches I did from the Daria Diaries as a friend was about to head out the door with it for a bus.

Here are the candidates:\n\n[b:1j7rrp16]Daria[/b:1j7rrp16]\n\nPros:  He already knows her.  He\'s already interested in her.  She can keep up with him or even exceed him intellectually.\nCons:  Last attempt to date a Fielding girl went awry.  Would be weird dating his sister\'s best friend.  Too cynical or sarcastic?\n\n[b:1j7rrp16]Quinn[/b:1j7rrp16]\n\nPros:  He knows who she is.  Quinn is very popular and very good looking.\nCons:  Lack of intellectual firepower.  He probably considers her clueless.  Would have to sacrifice his friendship with Pat Seven, so no go.  Both Daria and Elsie would lose all respect for him, and so would Quinn sooner or later.\n\n[b:1j7rrp16]Jane[/b:1j7rrp16]\n\nPros:  He is interested in her.  See Seasons 3 and 4 of [i:1j7rrp16]Daria[/i:1j7rrp16].\nCons:  See Seasons 3 and 4 of [i:1j7rrp16]Daria[/i:1j7rrp16].\n\n[b:1j7rrp16]Jodie[/b:1j7rrp16]\n\nPros:  She\'s sharp, businesslike and attractive.  The kind of girl who is clearly going to make something of herself.\nCons:  Somewhat bland personality.  Not adventuresome, plays it safe.  And would her resume end up coming before him?\n\n[b:1j7rrp16]Brittany[/b:1j7rrp16]\n\nPros:  A generally nice girl.  Sexually adventuresome, perky, and if you\'re a breast man you\'re in heaven.\nCons:  Family background - new money father with pathological younger brother.  Dumb as a post.  Prone to violence when she doesn\'t get her way.  Kevin Thompson circling the Sloane family home in his jeep looking for revenge.\n\n[b:1j7rrp16]Sandi[/b:1j7rrp16]\n\nPros:  They\'ve met.  And she\'s interested in him, or at least his money.\nCons:  Will be just as hypercritical as Sue Bentley was.  Maybe not as much nastiness or control-freak issues but will make multiple demands on Tom without giving as much as a kiss back.  A cat in human form.\n\n[b:1j7rrp16]Stacy[/b:1j7rrp16]\n\nPros:  She\'ll hang on every word and probably do anything you want her to - and I mean [i:1j7rrp16]anything[/i:1j7rrp16].\nCons:  Your role will not be so much lover as 24-hour on-call psychiatrist.  Needs a lot of positive affirmation; prone to frequent breakdowns.  Has already named your four children, just like Sue did; actively making wedding plans.  Escape will be difficult.\n\n[b:1j7rrp16]Tiffany[/b:1j7rrp16]\n\nPros:  Classical beauty.  Seems to know her way around the upper class.  Doesn\'t talk much.\nCons:  Doesn\'t talk [i:1j7rrp16]enough[/i:1j7rrp16], and dumber than two posts.  Can lie right to your face without as much as a twitch.  Scrupleless.\n\n[b:1j7rrp16]Claire Davidson[/b:1j7rrp16]\n\nPros:  Intellectual match.  Doesn\'t like Fielding all that much either.  Expert on 19th century poetry, knows both Brownings by heart.\nCons:  Now lives several states away.  Dating her would be Tom\'s announcement to Fielding that he\'s left the serious dating scene.\n\n[b:1j7rrp16]Patty Clark[/b:1j7rrp16]\n\nPros:  She\'s a Top, and that counts for something.  Will let the author develop her personality more.\nCons:  Why?\n\n[b:1j7rrp16]Buttons Gwinnett[/b:1j7rrp16]\n\nPros:  Pretty, and neither too smart nor too stupid to be a bother.  Buying Christmas presents will be easy.\nCons:  Lack of challenging opinions is a relationship-killer.  Break-up might be emotional minefield.  Would she ever leave her dear Shuler?\n\n[b:1j7rrp16]Jill Yardborough[/b:1j7rrp16]\n\nPros:  Nice and resourceful.  You can probably make all sorts of demands on her time, intellect, and patience without a complaint.\nCons:  Jailbait.  And she\'s probably not interested.\n\n[b:1j7rrp16]Sephora (Zip) Benson[/b:1j7rrp16]\n\nPros:  Fit, athletic, probably looking for a guy.  And if it doesn\'t work out she\'ll try to set you up for your next date.\nCons:  Probably looking for a guy who plays sports.  Will probably involve you in wacky adventures.','d4bdddfd7f1e94fc6311a660a28a1acf',0,'YA==','1j7rrp16',1,1297451212,'',213,1,0),(460649,31920,3,846,0,'148.210.193.83',1297450660,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Art rant','Regarding artwork, my feeling has always been that is under appreciated, because it is a lot harder for people who are not familiar with drawing/painting/sketching/shading/etc techniques to say anything other than &quot;cool&quot;.

I am sure this probably makes fan artist feel like their work is not appreciated, which should make us stop to make more of an effort to comment, even if it\'s just to show appreciation.','8d9d9bfe4a12a85bd942e4361d12c089',0,'','37vawo1v',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460650,30640,5,249,0,'82.24.218.72',1297450725,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Things I Love to Watch on YouTube (Part Two)','[url=http&#58;//www&#46;youtube&#46;com/watch?v=d7n8GqewJ2M&amp;feature=related:3fho4r84]Keasha Tik Tok piss take.[/url:3fho4r84]','3983a44f24727002cc9ff6fdd6a0cdfd',0,'EA==','3fho4r84',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460651,31634,6,30,0,'209.34.217.25',1297450853,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Oh, By The Way (Part 6)','[quote=&quot;RLobinske&quot;:31b0nga3]I covered that in a general way that avoided having to do a lot of research:\n\n[quote:31b0nga3]Derek said, &quot;Quinn, from what Karen told me, you have things pretty much planned out.&quot;\n\n&quot;That\'s Quinn,&quot; Daria said. &quot;Anything like this is like planning the invasion of Normandy.&quot;\n\n&quot;I thought it was starting to sound more like Downfall myself, but hey.&quot;[/quote:31b0nga3][/quote:31b0nga3]\n\nAh, knowing Quinn I had assumed they were talking about the kid\'s wardrobe.  <!-- s:lol: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif\" alt=\":lol:\" title=\"Laughing\" /><!-- s:lol: --> \n\nKristen','77697cf4c45f64c6e4794a4fa5c89611',0,'gA==','31b0nga3',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460652,31105,6,30,0,'209.34.217.25',1297451063,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The Hallowed Halls of Fielding (Part 82 - 2/10/11)','It\'s a nice list, but it\'s obviously meant to distract us all from the torrid love affair Tom is poised to carry out with Aster Hackney.  <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D --> \n\nKristen','57bd44035eae340acc162b6faaaca022',0,'','1jz5fhgu',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460653,31105,6,305,0,'200.114.121.240',1297451296,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The Hallowed Halls of Fielding (Part 82 - 2/10/11)','Tom is a free man, but not all the candidates are free women!

Talking to himself.\n\n“Yeah. Cool. Yeah. Yeah. Cool.”\n\n“Has Ed the Head been cutting his gear again?” asked Daria, cautiously.\n\n“Oh, hey. No, not you, Daria. Sorry.” Trent tapped his ear. “Got a Bluetooth. That way, I can discuss creative matters with the band and [i:algj6dnr]still[/i:algj6dnr] support Janey. …yeah, I told you I was doing that. Yes, I’ll get munchies on the way back.”\n\n“Tom. Hold me.

Point. Cool.”\n\nDown at the track, the runners stood poised – Lawndale VS Oakwood. Jane was to the right, head bowed and focused on the track. \n\nAnd Morris blew her whistle and Jane moved like the hounds of hell were behind her. Within fifteen seconds, everyone else was behind her and falling fast. The Lawndale supporters stared in stunned silence, and then roared their approval.\n\n“Go, go, kick butt,” said Daria, smiling.\n\n“Whooooaaaaa. Guys, new idea: [i:algj6dnr]Run run little sister/Ignore the blister[/i:algj6dnr]…”\n\n---\n\nAt Pizza King, Jane tore into her slice like it had just insulted her mother.\n\n“So, how much TV did I miss while I was at practice?”\n\n“This one SyFy movie, Mega-Maggots VS Metalli-Cockerel, had the finest CGI a Commodore 64 could produce. If it had been sat on.”\n\n“I downloaded it and cut out all the bits with people talking and characterisation,” said Tom. \n\n“If only we could do that in real life,” said Jane.\n\n“Speaking of-“ Daria began, before she was cut off by Mack’s arrival.\n\n“Hey, Jane! Congratulations. First place is pretty impressive.”\n\n“Yeah, I pretend I’m running from a pep rally.”\n\nMack winced at the nearing sound of “Yo, bro!”. “Speaking of running…”\n\n“So anyway,” said Jane, “what were you say-“\n\nEvan arrived, sliding into the seat next to Jane; she looked a bit surprised, then smiled.\n\n“Hey, team-mate!” He turned to Daria and Tom. “Did you see this girl run like the wind?”\n\n“Oh yeah. If zombies turn out to be fast after all, Jane will survive to repopulate the Earth with Baltar.”\n\nEvan chuckled. “That’s pretty funny.” He got up again, adding “see you at practice, speedy” to Jane as he left.\n\n“I don’t think he got the joke,” said Tom. “I’m not entirely sure I do either.”\n\n“That’s because she presumably meant Usain [i:algj6dnr]Bolt[/i:algj6dnr], the Oh-Eight Olympics sprinter,” said Jane. “Oh Daria. Who knew you failed at knowing sports?”\n\n“Hey, hey, hey, it’s the track star!” crowed the incoming Kevin, Brittany in tow. (“Speaking of “failed at knowing”,” muttered Daria) “You’re gonna be like a jock, man!”\n\nJane raised an eyebrow. “Kevin, you’ve rarely acknowledged my existence in all our years in school, and you try to get in with me by saying [i:algj6dnr]that?[/i:algj6dnr]”\n\n“Sure!” he gormlessed. “Y’see, you’re a winner now, and when you’re a winner, [i:algj6dnr]everyone[/i:algj6dnr] wants to be your friend!” \n\n“Not like those boring loser friends I had who liked me even when I lost, eh?”\n\n“I know!” Kevin then realised Daria was sitting there. “Oh hey, don’t worry Daria, I’m sure Jane will still hang out with you when she’s not around more popular people.”\n\n“Because merely being within three centimetres of me in public will destroy her popularity.”\n\n“Yeah, probably…” He realised where he was standing. “Awww [i:algj6dnr]man![/i:algj6dnr]”\n\nAs Kevin and his girlfriend rushed away at high speed, Jane began to speak quickly and loudly: “So, DARIA, who I am TALKING to-“\n\n“SUM up the DOCtrine of MANIFEST-“ Tom cringed under the glares. “Sorry, I couldn’t resist.”\n\n“So, Daria, you were saying before the interruptions…?”\n\n“I can’t [i:algj6dnr]remember[/i:algj6dnr] anymore.” Daria took a nibble of her pizza. “Oh yeah, Trent’s writing a song in your honour. He was up to five verses when he left, though one of them was just ‘yeah’ repeated over and over. Or he may have been thinking of another song, it’s hard to tell sometimes.”\n\n“Oh yeah, did I ever tell you about-“\n\n“[i:algj6dnr]Jane![/i:algj6dnr]”\n\nThe new arrival was Siobhan, Jennifer behind her; Siobhan kept focused on Jane, Jennifer eyed Daria and Tom with suspicion. Jane looked ready to murder something.\n\n“Don’t worry, Shiv ol’ gal, I was only talking to my friends.”\n\n“I didn’t worry. Listen: I’m organising a victory party at Juliet’s house-“\n\n“The one you disparage and insult behind her back?”\n\n“Yes, that’s the one. Address is 16 Romberg, we’re getting a few of the other teams coming- It should be a fun night.”\n\n“Sure sounds it!” said Jane. “Well, good luck.”\n\nSiobhan was quiet for a bit. “Jane, you’re [i:algj6dnr]invited[/i:algj6dnr],” she said kindly. “I mean, [i:algj6dnr]duh[/i:algj6dnr]. You’re [i:algj6dnr]on the team.[/i:algj6dnr]”\n\n“Yeah, I did figure that. No offence, but I’m kinda beat and-“\n\n“Evan’s going to be there,” said Jennifer.\n\nJane sighed, and then looked at Daria and Tom. “Errr… you guys want to-“\n\n“Nah, we’re cool,” said Tom. “Go have fun corrupting him with your evil sinful ways.”\n\n“Does it count as ways, plural when you’ve only got sloth?” asked Daria.\n\nJane smiled, getting up to join the other runners. “You forgot lust, fool. See ya around!”\n\n“I didn’t know you thought of me that way!” called Daria after the departing Jane, before turning to Tom. “So what did you think of that?”\n\n“Of course she thinks of you that way. All sensible people with eyes do.” He smiled, briefly, before changing tone. “Let’s just say that I spoke over Jane before Whatsername could imply we aren’t ‘desirables’. Well, you aren’t, I’d get stomached because I bring bling.”\n\n“Tom, you’re as gangsta as Eliot Ness. This is starting to get annoying, it’s like everyone is [i:algj6dnr]trying[/i:algj6dnr] to stop Jane hanging out with us. And that’s clearly what those two had in mind, though there can’t be any wider conspiracy. Not if [i:algj6dnr]Kevin[/i:algj6dnr] would have to be involved.”\n\nTom looked around the room, then smirked. “You know, this does mean we’re alone together-“\n\n“[i:algj6dnr]Daria![/i:algj6dnr]”\n\nIt was her mother.\n\n“Your father and I were just passing, and we thought this looked like the pizza place you like going to with Jane, so [i:algj6dnr]we[/i:algj6dnr] thought-“\n\n“THIS GRAPES BOOK IS AWESOME!” roared Jake from the background.\n\nTom bonked his head on the table in defeat.\n\n\n---\n\n\nAt the party, everything had got out of control – the dance music was so entrancing. Everybody had got down on the floor. It was a bunch of popular jocks dancing. \n\n[i:algj6dnr]This party sucks,[/i:algj6dnr] thought Jane, as lots of happy people she didn’t know danced and snogged around her. [i:algj6dnr]Where’s the damn kitchen?[/i:algj6dnr]\n\nEvan laid a hand on her shoulder, smiling. “Want to hit the floor in a bit?”\n\n“Sure!” she said, completely ignoring everything she’d just thought. \n\n“Oh hey, have you met the girl’s soccer teams new player? They say she’s the best goalie they’ve ever had.”\n\nJane looked at the girl being introduced to her. “Stacy?”\n\n“Oh. You know her already?”\n\n“Nah, must be confusing me with someone else, mate,” said Stacy Rowe with the same haircut as she had every day at school. She was relaxed but poised, ready to stop a ball at any moment, and she was perfectly imitating a Mid-Atlantic American pretending to be English. \n\n“Yeah, must be. Stacy I knew thought exercise would cause her make-up to smudge.”\n\n“Pbbbt, what a loada cobblers that girl must talk!” Stacy didn’t even blink.\n\n(tbc)','d10f010b8d1713dbcb832a891c0cd517',0,'IA==','algj6dnr',1,1303303839,'',1108,3,0),(460660,31900,6,933,0,'63.84.81.41',1297453229,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Rewarding the classics','[quote:1pm33ec1]The Beaches of Barksdale (So many classic moments, including the ride to the beach and Daria\'s trip to the mall (including the moments before she leaves and her return).[/quote:1pm33ec1]\n\nOf all the fics I find myself re-reading\n\nthis one is hands down above and beyond all others.\n\nI have lost count of how many times I\'ve read it but I\'m well into/past the twenties <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D -->','5af149829a5ad941bc78db35563597c5',0,'gA==','1pm33ec1',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460661,31902,6,933,0,'63.84.81.41',1297453541,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: God Save The Esteem Ep21: Good Sports (3)','[quote:fahulhzv]“I didn’t know you thought of me that way!” called Daria after Tom, before turning to Tom. “So what did you think of that?”\n\n“Of course she thinks of you that way.

I\'ve recently discovered Daria; despite being born in 1984, I somehow missed it when it was actually, y\'know, airing.  I can\'t even remember what actually got me looking into the fandom, at this point.  I think it might have been TV Tropes\' intriguing page, with its special mention of how active the fandom still is (I\'m a sucker for small but active fandoms).  Needless to say, even though I\'ve never seen the show, about two weeks ago I fell into the fanfic lists on this board and, having just dug myself out about two hours ago, I can say with confidence that I am totally in love with these characters.  I\'ve also absorbed a fair bit of DariaWiki; enough that I feel like I\'ve seen the show, even though I actually haven\'t. <!-- s:P --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif\" alt=\":P\" title=\"Razz\" /><!-- s:P -->\n\nI\'m actually a bit crossover-obsessed, and a DC Comics fan, so I was thrilled to see the superhero subgenre of Daria fics.

In my head at least, while maybe only Bruce Wayne can be Batman, The Question is more of a specific set of ideals that anyone could conceivably take up.\n\nDaria already seems to have the right mindset and most of the requisite intelligence.  All she\'s really missing is an impetus to hide her face and go out, poke her nose where it doesn\'t belong, and bash people in the head ... for truth.

That said, I don\'t see Daria going all Fox Mulder on us in any case without severe mental trauma.  ... Well, more severe than it would take to get her to want to become the Question.  I think I\'d try to do a bit of a hybrid, leaning towards the comics (incorruptible, committed to truth and justice for the downtrodden in the places most people like to pretend don\'t exist, ultra-violence, cruises around in a VW Bug, Sherlock Holmes style detective), with selected bits from JLU (Daria likes orange socks and chases government conspiracies the Justice Society can\'t be publicly involved in taking down).  She would play the Batman-type &quot;World\'s Greatest Detective&quot; to Power Girl, the local Superman expy (who is not Jane).\n\nThis Daria would also need to be willing to live dangerously.  I\'d write her as extremely well trained in hand to hand combat, but she\'s not built like Bruce Wayne or Vic Sage; her small size and lack of raw physical strength are major elements of fandom, from what I\'ve seen.  She\'d be more of a Glass Cannon than a bruiser.  To that end, though, she\'d need to be somewhat estranged from her family to want to do this.  At least as estranged as in canon, and likely more so.  This means I likely wouldn\'t be able to do much to rehabilitate Quinn without extreme measures.  Probably just as well: her canonical selfishness and materialism would be an interesting counterpoint to superhero!Daria, as superheroism generally implies a higher-than-average level of selflessness, and Daria would spend most of her time in the more impoverished and horrible areas of Boston/Maryland/etc.\n\nAs for what sets her on this path, Daria, in canon, seems to be constrained most by her frustration with the world causing apathy, or at least a feeling that one person can\'t really change the world.  So she needs to witness one person changing the world in a big way.  I\'m considering several scenarios for this &quot;spark.&quot;  If I wrote this, I\'d like to talk to the author of &quot;Apocalyptic Daria&quot; to see if I could get permission to use the Black Saturday limited nuclear exchange between China and the United States.  Except, this world would have a Superman expy to prevent World War III with their bare hands, and nearly die in the attempt.  Narrowly avoiding global nuclear extinction might well highly-energize nuclear disarmament efforts.  [i:1jmn8maw]That[/i:1jmn8maw] should convince Daria it\'s worth it to try to save the world (or at least a little tiny bit of the world).\n\nJane\'s motivation would by necessity be similar, but she\'d also have a bit of the &quot;with great power comes great responsibility&quot; element ...','cc08fe7df676c24d888eed3c4e107962',0,'oA==','1jmn8maw',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460712,31931,3,1098,0,'207.204.186.86',1297466189,1,0,1,0,1,1,'','Re: Something new from my real-life work','[quote=&quot;Deref&quot;:26hxb7gz]:D Brilliant!

For someone who wants to add a child to their health insurance for example, all they need to do is present (if asked) a copy of the child\'s birth certificate (which in some states does [i:2ks99gb7]not[/i:2ks99gb7] legally establish paternity) or adoption papers or a marriage/birth certificate combo for a stepchild.  It gets stickier when you\'re trying to compel someone to provide for their child, which can be done with or without the parents ever having been married, and is frankly sticky either way.  There are also protections in place for the rights of either parent, custodial or not.  One example is HIPPA (national, so enforcement won\'t vary by state), which gives either parent the right to access their child\'s health information.','bf67e532f0d66941741c7e62a000cd1e',0,'oA==','2ks99gb7',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460720,31920,3,981,0,'203.134.139.173',1297467073,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Art rant','@ Dork\n\nI\'ll grant that time ≠ quality, however I think that all the artists here would agree that the works in question would not have made it to the public arena had they not passed our own strict criteria for quality.

Your best days are behind you, Lane.”\n\n“Heh. You’ll see…”\n\nThe girls reached the front of the queue, and Steve looked down at this chart.\n\n“Okay guys, Jane’s on the Sports VIP list: take away the drug-sniffer dog!”\n\nIn the background, an [i:khijr2g9]incredibly[/i:khijr2g9] spaced out dog was led away, slobbering as it went. \n\nOnce they reached Gym, Jane revealed another perk: casually mentioning her legs felt a bit sore, causing Ms Morris to hurriedly order her to “go watch TV in my office!” so she wouldn’t get worn out in Gym.\n\n“I-I kinda don’t want to be alone-“\n\n“Ms Morgendorffer, go with her!”\n\n“Anything for the team,” said Daria, as the girls walked off. “That’s your arch nemesis, huh?”\n\n“She’s not so bad when she needs things from you and has to keep you sweet, whatever it takes. Mmmm, [i:khijr2g9]corruption.[/i:khijr2g9] It smells like…”\n\n“Gym sweat.”\n\n\n---\n\n\nIt had been the best Gym class Jane had ever had, and she’d found repeats of a horrible old 1950s serial that she never knew existed (“Death rays, zombie slaves, nuclear robots – man, those Commies were [i:khijr2g9]awesome[/i:khijr2g9]”). If she’d felt any guilt about abusing the ‘perks’ of the track team, that would have negated them. And she didn’t, because Gym sucked. Oh, did it suck.\n\nShe was a little worried when, after class, Ms Morris had held her back. ([i:khijr2g9]This is going to be a pep talk, isn’t it.

And stayed quiet. \n\nJane looked at her, daring her to talk, and then muttered: “I’d have gotten a C [i:khijr2g9]anyway[/i:khijr2g9].”\n\n“You actually – I can’t believe it! I was going to [i:khijr2g9]joke[/i:khijr2g9] that you’d gotten a bye and then thought that was too pissy, and then started to…” \n\n“Hey, you watched TV with me, you didn’t mind [i:khijr2g9]that[/i:khijr2g9] perk.”\n\nDaria opened her mouth, shut it, collected herself, and began again. “I started to think you really had done that, and then I felt [i:khijr2g9]ashamed[/i:khijr2g9] of myself for thinking that of you. I expected you to hit me with the righteous anger I deserved. Well, time makes fools of us both, doesn’t it.”\n\nShe walked off. \n\nJane tried to find something she could feel indignant about in her friend’s words but there was nothing there. She could’ve fought against Daria being righteous – sure, she [i:khijr2g9]was[/i:khijr2g9] in the wrong, but she’d known that and not cared, why start? – but not against disappointment. \n\n“Jane?” It was Evan, looking concerned. “You okay? Something happened with your friend?”\n\n“Y-Yeah, you could say that.” She smiled weakly. “She had a few well-aimed words to say about me taking a bye on a test. It was…”\n\nEvan put a consoling hand on her shoulder. “Hey, don’t worry. People get all jealous and on their high horses just because [i:khijr2g9]they[/i:khijr2g9] can’t do it. Screw ‘em!”\n\n“Heh. That’s not what happened, but thanks anyway.”\n\n “I don’t know why you hang out with her anyway.”\n\nJane blinked: that, she had not expected. “Because of this?”\n\n“Well, partly – you really want to put up with jealousy from someone who’d never be as good as you in the first place? And you’re one of the crowd now! Why’d you want to… y’know, hang out with a loser? It just looks weird.”\n\nShe was quiet for a long time, and then said: “You’re right. I’ve been spending too much time with losers.”\n\n\n---\n\n\nDaria was intercepted by Jane at the end of Language Arts, before she could get out of school. She would have blown the other girl off, except she did [i:khijr2g9]look[/i:khijr2g9] like she wanted to apologise; and really, Daria had had enough of losing people these past few months. \n\n“Come to share some of that juicy delicious crow?”\n\n“You were right,” muttered Jane. “It was stupid of me to-“\n\n“Of course I was.” Daria waved her hand dismissively. “Look, you did the wrong thing but I understand [i:khijr2g9]why[/i:khijr2g9]. They gave you a chance to cut a corner, to get ahead without having to do anything. I know how tempting that is.” She sighed. “It took [i:khijr2g9]me[/i:khijr2g9] weeks to get around to rejecting temptation, I have no-”\n\n“Daria, I love you and everything, but if you try to shoulder some of my blame, it makes me feel worse. So… yeah.” Jane was quiet for a minute, then chuckled. “And you know, this all started because I wanted to prove to Ms Morris I’m [i:khijr2g9]not[/i:khijr2g9] a deadbeat. Well, hell with it. I’ll try and fail on my own merits. Anyway, want to do something?”\n\n“Sorry, I’ve got a date with Tom. Him, me, the Sloane’s huge TV with cinema-quality sound, and Rock Band.” Daria blinked. “Wait, you have track practice now. You couldn’t do something.”\n\n“I… kinda quit. Partly to avoid the temptation, and partly the people… eh, it’s just not my world. And I can’t believe you thought Evan was cute.”\n\n“Yeah, I’m a dope,” said Daria, her face betraying none of her thoughts. It was clear Jane wasn’t telling her the whole truth there. Well, it had nothing to do with her. \n\n\n---\n\n\nWhen she returned home from Tom’s house, she found her dad trying to cook pizza. He’d set it on fire. Her mother was spraying extinguisher foam [i:khijr2g9]everywhere[/i:khijr2g9].\n\n“Daria, change of plan!” yelled Helen as she somehow missed the burning dish and foamed [i:khijr2g9]herself[/i:khijr2g9]. “We’ll be [i:khijr2g9]ordering[/i:khijr2g9] pizza!”\n\n“DAMN FLAMMABLE HOT PEPPERS!”\n\nDaria facepalmed. “Mum, Dad… I understand what you’re doing, I really do, but [i:khijr2g9]please. Stop.[/i:khijr2g9]”\n\n“Yes, I see what you mean…” Helen surveyed the mess with embarrassment. “But don’t worry, the fire’s out now.”\n\n“I meant that you don’t have to keep trying to make things up to me. I appreciate the gesture and everything, but… I don’t know how to word this properly. Let’s just say I don’t [i:khijr2g9]need[/i:khijr2g9] the gestures. I just need to know you’re there for me if I need you, and you’ll take my needs into account.”\n\n“Awww, I wish I’d known that before I bought those Soviet film festival tickets!” Jake looked distraught. \n\n“Hey, I’m not saying don’t try to buy my affection with things. I’m sixteen. Keep doing that.” Something else occurred to her. “But you [i:khijr2g9]could[/i:khijr2g9] start making those gestures for Erin.”\n\n“Does… she like Red films?”\n\nHelen patted Jake’s head. “I’ll explain later.” She turned to Daria. “To be honest, I was worried Erin would start screaming at me again… But you’re right, she could do with it. I’m going to… I’m…” She looked like she’d be sick. “[i:khijr2g9]I’m going to say she can play Lady Gaga whenever she likes.[/i:khijr2g9]”\n\n“Well I wouldn’t go that far, Mum.”\n\n---\n\n\nThe next morning, Jane closed her locker, turned round, and found herself surrounded by the track team and Ms Morris.\n\n“Yeah, I know his name is Robert Paulson,” she told them.\n\n“Jane, I wish you’d consider coming back to the team,” said Morris.\n\nShe looked at the coach, who had said that with a distinctly unfriendly expression. The track team were all silent, all looking at her in an obvious attempt to unnerve her (and it was working), and she didn’t really sense any friendliness coming from these people who’d been talking to her for so many days recently.\n\n“Am I missing something?”\n\n“The team needs you, and you need the team.” Morris paused for effect. “If you don’t want to be here taking Math during the summer.”\n\n“Gee, that sounds like [i:khijr2g9]blackmail[/i:khijr2g9], you guys,” said Jane, looking from tracker to tracker to see who’d look uncomfortable. Kirk-Albert looked a bit pained, but he was it, and he wasn’t saying anything. “I can pull up my grades on my own.”\n\nMorris smiled coldly. “Then [i:khijr2g9]I’ll[/i:khijr2g9] flunk you.”\n\nJane looked at the other students again. No response. Kirk-Albert was staring into the distance.\n\n“How about I go to Ms Li about this whole grade-changing arrangement?”\n\n“She already knows.”\n\n [i:khijr2g9]Of course.[/i:khijr2g9] “Okay, back off or I’ll call the PTA.”\n\n“They already know too.”\n\n[i:khijr2g9]That[/i:khijr2g9] stunned her. Was it a bluff? She could buy the PTA knew about the byes, but that Morris would do [i:khijr2g9]this[/i:khijr2g9]? Or would they simply not [i:khijr2g9]want[/i:khijr2g9] to know? And all the time, the track team looking at her, absolutely no sign of honour and humanity.\n\n[i:khijr2g9]Screw it.[/i:khijr2g9] “Hey, Shiv, is it okay if I call you Chipmunk? Ahhh, got a reaction [i:khijr2g9]there[/i:khijr2g9], didn’t I? Anyway, how about I call the three local TV stations and tell each one that the other two is running the story?”\n\nMorris paled. “[i:khijr2g9]Damn.[/i:khijr2g9]”\n\nThey all departed as a group, save for Evan. “I don’t understand why you’re doing this.”\n\n“Sadly, I [i:khijr2g9]do[/i:khijr2g9] understand why you’re doing this.” \n\n\n---\n\nThe last class of the day was Gym. Gym, where Ms Morris was getting Jane and Daria to do cheerleading drills. To ‘make up’ for the lost classes. Allegedly.\n\n“Tell me I at least have my integrity,” said Jane.\n\n“Integrity’s a funny word,” said Daria, looking at Morris in the hope that maybe, just maybe, she’d become a Scanner in the next five seconds.\n\n“Well, at least tell me I’m marginally less corrupt than the jocks.”\n\nMorris looked [i:khijr2g9]smug[/i:khijr2g9]. Daria gritted her teeth.\n\n“You refused to participate in a crooked system where good grades are exchanged for athletic performance. But neither of us tried to reform the system, either.”\n\n“For fear of complete teenage exile.” \n\n“Right.” Daria’s joints screamed as she attempted a split. They weren’t the only thing that was screaming. “So the system continues, you haven\'t redeemed yourself, and we\'re ostracized anyway.” \n\n“Come on, now, stop trying to paint a rosy picture,” said Jane, sounding unbothered.\n\nDaria looked around. Her body ached, she was being stared at, everything she’d just said ticked her off, and Morris…\n\nMorris had tempted Jane and offered her so much, and then done [i:khijr2g9]that[/i:khijr2g9] when Jane had declined, [i:khijr2g9]that[/i:khijr2g9] in response to [i:khijr2g9]her friend[/i:khijr2g9] not succumbing and trying to be her own woman, [i:khijr2g9]her friend[/i:khijr2g9] who had stood by her in her darkest hour, who---\n\nDaria’s mind went blank.\n\n“You know what? Screw it.”\n\nShe got up off the mat and started to walk, and when Morris called out she raised her middle finger and then kept on going. \n\n[i:khijr2g9]Smug bitch. You don’t have the RIGHT.[/i:khijr2g9]\n\nShe had to get to her phone quickly, before the red mist stopped and she pussied out.

From the sounds of it, this was going to be one of those days that made him long for his old toll booth job. He knocked on the door, and Helen opened the door.\n	“Ma’am, I’m Officer Stalano. I’m”\n“Why isn’t there a female officer here?! I told them [i:3n18gve0]plainly[/i:3n18gve0] what had happened!”\n“Ma’am, I was the closest car to your house. I was sent just to start getting information about the case. A female officer is on her way to speak with your daughter. I assure you, I have no intention of causing your daughter any more stress than she’s been through. Now, I just need to ask you a few basic questions. First of all, does your daughter have any ID that I could see, just to get her basic information, like height, weight and such like that?”\n“She burned her wallet. Along with all the rest of her clothes.”\n“Damn. Those would have been a good thing to save.”\n“Well, we didn’t think she was going to light them up until she did, young man!”\n“I’m sorry, ma’am. That just slipped out. Anyway, what’s her birthday?”\n“October 19th. I think.”\nCurtis raised his eyebrow, to which she replied, “I’m very overwhelmed right now!”\nBacking off, he asked, “Hair and eye colors?”\n“Auburn, and brown. How long until that other officer gets here?!”\n“Very soon, ma’am. Do you know her height and weight?”\nHelen hesitated. “No, not off the top of my head.” She blushed a little at the realization that she knows so little about Daria, especially with the hard time that she gives Jake. “Would you like something to drink, officer?”\nSensing her shame, Curtis let her off his hook. “Yes, a glass of water would be great, thank you.” While she was in the kitchen, a female police officer arrived.\n“Curtis, we get all the fun cases, don’t we?”\n“Tell me about it, Debby,” Curtis said, giving her a quick summary of what he’d seen. “Be careful, the mom strikes me a bit high-strung.”\nHelen walked back in with a glass of water, and the female officer took charge.\n“Ma’am, I’m Officer Deborah Kritzky. Where is your daughter, and is she in any immediate danger?”\nHelen blinked, and then said, “She’s in the back yard, and didn’t have any injuries that we saw.”\n“Is she alone?”\n“Heavens, no! Her best friend is with her right now. They’re just through the kitchen over there.”\n“Ma’am, I need to speak with your daughter, and she needs to go to the hospital. Where are the clothes she was wearing?”\n“Before we realized what was going on, she burned them.” This earned Helen a mild glare from Debby, but it was quickly softened. “Never mind. What’s important is that we get her taken care of.” Looking through the sliding door, she saw that Daria was naked on the ground. “Ma\'am, when you say she burned her clothes….”\n“Yes, she burned her entire wardrobe.”\nJust then, the front door opened and Quinn entered, flanked by the Fashion Club.\n“What’s going on, mom? Why are the police here?” she asked.\n“Sandi, Tiffany, Stacy, I’m afraid you need to leave,” Helen said, shooing them out the door as she turned to Quinn. “Quinn, you and Daria wear almost the same size, right?”\n“Yeah, why?”\n“She needs one of your outfits, right now. Preferably something modest.”\n“Mu-om! These are my [i:3n18gve0]clothes[/i:3n18gve0] you’re talking about? Why can’t she wear that….thing she always wears?”\n“Quinn,” Helen hissed, lowering her voice as she moved her face closer to Quinn’s. “Daria was [i:3n18gve0]raped[/i:3n18gve0] last night, and she needs to get to the hospital [b:3n18gve0]NOW[/b:3n18gve0]. She can’t wear her clothes, so get her one of your outfits. [b:3n18gve0][u:3n18gve0]NOW[/u:3n18gve0][/b:3n18gve0].”\nQuinn’s eyes shot wide open, and her mouth started to gape like a fish. “She….she…..” In shock, Quinn’s legs went out, and she sat heavily on the stairs. Through her mind rushed a thousand thoughts: concerns for Daria, hatred for who had done this to her, fear at how many men she had dated who could have done this to herself, her desire for revenge and her desperation to help her sister, shame at the times she had denounced Daria in public. Unfortunately, only one thing slipped through the tumult to her mouth.\n“I hope this doesn’t affect my popularity,” she whispered, hating herself as she heard the words.\n[b:3n18gve0]SLAP![/b:3n18gve0]\nQuinn heard more than she felt Helen’s hand hit her cheek full force, but her mind cleared as the pain in her face combated the pain she felt in her heart at having said this. Tears forming in her eyes, she ran upstairs and came back down a few seconds later with a black sweatsuit. She gave them to Helen, refusing to look up from the floor.\nAs the police helped Daria to their patrol cars, Helen walked past Quinn without looking at her. Jane stopped and stared a stony gaze for a moment, then left.\n\nAt the hospital, the doctors quickly examined Daria, then left her with the police, who had some questions for her.\n“Mrs. Morgendorffer?” the doctor asked, walking up to Helen. She immediately got off the phone with Jake, who was in Green Bay trying to secure a new consulting contract.\n“Yes, doctor?”\n“Ma’am, you might want to sit down. We finished examining your daughter, and it appears she was, indeed, raped last night.”\nUpon hearing this, Helen began crying again, and the doctor gave her a minute to calm herself. “Also, ma’am, the preliminary tests show no signs of any STDs, not do they indicate any….evidence that she could be pregnant. It appears that whoever did this used protection. Physically, she is unharmed, but this,” he gave her a small pamphlet, “is information about a counseling service that operates nearby, should your daughter wish to seek help in dealing with this.”\n“Thank you, doctor,” Helen said softly. “When can Daria go home?”\n“I’m going to fill her a couple of prescriptions, and then you can take her home as soon as the paperwork is done.”\n“What prescriptions?”\n“A mild sedative, to help her sleep, and a painkiller. She has some mild bruising that will probably hurt once she notices.”\n She walked to Daria’s room. The police who had come to her house were standing outside while a detective was finishing up. As he left, Helen stopped him.\n“Detective, I’m Daria’s mother and also her lawyer. Please tell me what’s going on. What did she say?”\n“Your daughter seems to have been drugged at sometime last night, unfortunately. Her last clear memory is of leaving the Zon at around 8:15, then she woke up just a few blocks from her house this morning. All she remembers in between in that there was a man with red hair involved somehow.”\nHelen fought back more tears, amazed that she still had any left to cry. Entering the room, she found Daria pulling on the sweatsuit and lacing up the sneakers that Quinn had provided.\n“Can I go home now?” Daria asked quietly.\n“Very soon, sweetie,” Helen said softly, sitting on the edge of the bed. “The doctor is getting you some medicines. Don’t worry,” she said quickly as Daria started to object. “It’s just a painkiller and something to help you sleep at night.”\n“Ok,” Daria said, looking uncertain. “Just…none of those damn happy pills.”\n\nAt home that night, Daria was in bed, sleeping fitfully. Helen stood in the doorway, watching her toss and turn. [i:3n18gve0]I wish I could wake her up, but she needs the rest after today. I wish those pills would keep her from dreaming.[/i:3n18gve0] She closed the door and moved quietly down the hallway. Seeing that Quinn’s light was on, she knocked softly and cracked open the door. “Quinn? Are you awake?” She saw Quinn sitting on her bed, her hand pressed gently to the cheek that had been slapped earlier.\nHelen sat next to her and whispered, “Quinn, I am so sorry. I never should have hit you. I just…”\n“I deserved it, mom,” Quinn whispered, barely audibly. She didn’t move her face, instead looking straight at the wall.\n“Quinn?”\n“Mom, I am so sorry that I said what I did. It just slipped out. I swear, I don’t care about any of that.”\n“Really?” Helen said, ashamed that a hint of disbelief had slipped into her voice.\nQuinn jumped to her feet. “Mom, I’m talking about my [i:3n18gve0]sister[/i:3n18gve0]! Yeah, I always tell people at school she’s my cousin or whatever, but they know I’m lying! I did it because I knew that it pissed Daria off! If there’s anything, [i:3n18gve0]anything[/i:3n18gve0], I can do to help her, or to get the bastard that hurt her, I’ll do it in a heartbeat. Please, mom, just don’t hate me for what I said.” Quinn collapsed in tears as Helen wrapped her arms around her tight.\n\nMonday morning, Helen was downstairs getting ready to call Eric and tell him she wasn’t coming in due to a family emergency when Daria walked in. She was wearing blue jeans and a baggy sweater, part of the small wardrobe Quinn had picked up for her while Daria was in bed all day Sunday. She was carrying her backpack on her shoulder.\n“Mom, before you try to talk me out of it, I need to do this. If I don’t it’ll be that much harder. The papers were talking about a Lawndale student who got….hurt, and if I don’t come in, everyone will know it was me. That’ll be too much to deal with. Please, let me go.”\nHelen sighed, knowing that Daria had to cope in her own way. “On one condition, Daria, and this in not negotiable. If you start feeling overwhelmed, you call me immediately. Here,” she scribbled a note on a paper with her lawfirm’s letterhead. “This is a note saying that you’ve had a personal emergency and for the office to call me if there are any issues.”\n“Ok,” Daria said, pocketing the paper and looking for a moment like she would give Helen a hug. Both stood in awkward silence, then Daria nodded and walked out the door. \n\n“Ms. Li, I hope you don’t mind the surprise visit,” Superintendent Cartwright said as they walked through the halls of Lawndale High.\n“Not at all,” she said with a smile. The visit was far from a surprise thanks to the hacking skills of a student who owed her a few favors. “And please, call me Angela.”\n“Angela, I hope this visit is going to go better than the last one.”\n\n“Kevin, how do you have such bad luck with girls? Brittany has dumped you four times this month!” Jeffy said in disbelief. Kevin was smiling despite the commentary.\n“I’m the QB, dude. If Brittany’s mad, I can get another babe, at least until she cools down.”\n“Who else would have you, besides her?” Joey said with a laugh.\n“I can get any girl I want. Watch, I’ll show you!”\n\n[i:3n18gve0]I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this,[/i:3n18gve0] Daria thought to herself as she emptied her books into her locker. Jane had walked with her, but had gone to the bathroom while Daria proceeded to her locker. Dimly, she heard Kevin and some other football players approaching.\n\nMs. Li and Superintendent Cartwright rounded the corner just as Kevin reached out and pinched Daria’s butt hard. As she spun around, he said, “Hey, babe!”\n[b:3n18gve0]WHAM![/b:3n18gve0]\nDaria punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground. She screamed, slapping and kicking him until she jumped back, shocked at herself, then ran down the hall away from Kevin.\n“WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!?!” Superintendent Cartwright bellowed, shocking everyone at the loud voice from such a small man.\nKevin looked up, ignoring his bloodied nose, and said indignantly, “But I’m the QB!”\nCartwright wheeled on Ms. Li. “Is he saying that he’s been allowed to grope female members of the student body just because he’s a football player?!”\n“That’s not correct at all! Athletes in this school get no special privileges whatsoever!”\n“But, Ms. Li, what about that math test you said not to worry about? Isn’t that one of those things he means?” asked Kevin, honestly trying to think for once. Ms. Li’s face turned white as a sheet.\n\nDaria ran as fast as she could, horrified that she had freaked out so bad. [i:3n18gve0]Must call mom. Must call mom. Must call mom,[/i:3n18gve0] she thought to herself, the words echoing in her head as she plowed into a student coming out of the boy’s bathroom and knocked her to the floor. Gasping, she said, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry I’m s-“ she looked over and there sat a boy with flaming red hair, smiling at her.\n“No worries, my feisty, fiery maiden. Such spirit! If you want me, you don’t have to resort to such crude tactics,” Upchuck said lecherously, offering her a hand to help her up. Instead, her screams split the air.','7bb491de917d5b46d8aade03561ca0a6',0,'YQ==','3n18gve0',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460753,31902,6,1127,0,'122.149.68.63',1297475345,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: God Save The Esteem Ep21: Good Sports (3)','[quote=&quot;Charles RB&quot;:1lgphdjc]Morris had tempted Jane and offered her so much, and then done [i:1lgphdjc]that[/i:1lgphdjc] when Jane had declined, [i:1lgphdjc]that[/i:1lgphdjc] in response to [i:1lgphdjc]her friend[/i:1lgphdjc] not succumbing and trying to be her own woman, [i:1lgphdjc]her friend[/i:1lgphdjc] who had stood by her in her darkest hour, who---\n\nDaria’s mind went blank.\n\n“You know what?

Hey, Tiff-&quot;\n\nThe greeting died in Quinn\'s throat, coming out as something between a strangled gurgle and a startled screech.  The three girls watched aghast as Tiffany Blum-Deckler, the fourth and final member of Lawndale High\'s Fashion Club, walked up the school\'s front steps and stopped right in front of them.\n\n&quot;Hiiiiii,&quot; Tiffany said in her typical drone.  &quot;Sorry I\'m laaaaaaate.&quot;\n\n&quot;Um, that\'s quite alright,&quot; Sandi assured her, albeit with some hesitancy.  &quot;But, er, Tiffany dear . . . &quot;\n\nQuinn stepped in when Sandi looked back at her, speechless.  &quot;So, Tiffany, are you . . . okay?  Anything bothering you today?  Any . . . problems?&quot;\n\n&quot;Noooooooo, not that I know oooooooof.&quot;\n\nQuinn shrugged at Sandi, unsure of how to continue.  They tried their best to keep their gaze level.  They shuffled their feet.  They wrung their hands behind their backs.\n\n&quot;Tiffany dear, are-&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh my God, you\'re [i:5t863mi6]NAKED![/i:5t863mi6]&quot; Stacy screamed at the top of her lungs, causing Sandi and Quinn to clamp their hands over their ears.\n\nTiffany, for her own part, merely looked over at her and blinked a few times before looking down at herself.  Sure enough, she wasn\'t wearing a stitch of clothing save for the tiny designer purse hanging from her shoulder.\n\n&quot;Oooooooh, I guess I aaaaaaaaam,&quot; she said simply.  &quot;I must have forgoooooteeeeeeen my clothes agaaaaaain.&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:5t863mi6]Forgotten?[/i:5t863mi6]&quot; Quinn asked, incredulously.  &quot;[i:5t863mi6]Again?[/i:5t863mi6]  Does this . . . happen often?&quot;\n\nTiffany shrugged dismissively.  &quot;Oh, yaaaaaaah,&quot; she said.  &quot;Usually my moooooooom remiiiiiinds meeeeee, but she\'s at the beauty paaaarlooooor this moooooorning.  Thaaaaat\'s why I had to waaaaaalk to school todaaaaaay.&quot;\n\nThe air was suddenly pierced by the tardy bell, calling all stragglers left in the halls to come in to class or regret it.  Sandi rubbed the bridge of her nose and thanked goodness for small favors that they were the only ones left in front of the school.  If anyone else had been around to witness Tiffany\'s state of non-dress . . .\n\n&quot;Tiffany dear, I\'m afraid that this simply will not do,&quot; she said once the bell had finished making its point.  &quot;I must insist that you return home and stay there until you are suitably dressed to be seen by the general public.&quot;\n\nThe typically stoic features on the nude girl\'s face suddenly became almost heartbreakingly down-turned.  &quot;But I waaaaalked all this waaaaaay,&quot; she said pitifully.  &quot;It was really hard on my feeeeeeeeet.&quot;\n\n&quot;But guys will see all your . . . everything!&quot; Stacy protested.\n\n&quot;There\'s probably some kind of anti-nakedness law,&quot; Quinn added.\n\n&quot;And it would not reflect well upon the Fashion Club for one of our members to be seen in the altogether!&quot; Sandi finished off, then sighed and struck a thoughtful pose.  &quot;I suppose, however, that we might be able to find some alternative.  Did anyone bring any extra clothing today?&quot;\n\n&quot;Are we supposed to bring extra outfits to school?!&quot; Stacy squealed in panic.  &quot;I didn\'t know!  Nobody told me!&quot;\n\nQuinn snapped her fingers.  &quot;Hey, don\'t they have a lost-and-found box in the office?&quot; she asked.  &quot;Maybe we could find something for her in there!&quot;\n\nSandi looked probingly into Tiffany\'s pleading almond eyes for several moments then nodded.  &quot;Very well.  Stacy, I want you on lookout, making sure nobody stumbles across our little operation until it is finished.  Quinn, you will go into the office and ask to borrow the box.  I will remain with Tiffany in the meantime as protection and moral support.  Fashion Club, forward march!&quot;\n\nThe hall, unsurprisingly, was completely empty as everyone was already in their homerooms, hearing announcements and getting a few more minutes of sleep in before they actually had to start learning anything.  Stacy walked past the office, stopped at the intersection on the other side, and looked both ways before giving the other girls a thumbs-up.  Sandi and Tiffany stood to one side, well out of view from the office\'s windows as Quinn went inside.\n\nThe redhead returned a few minutes later dragging a large cardboard box by one of the flaps.  As soon as she had it through the door, she let go and burst into an overly dramatic display of fatigue.  &quot;I can\'t believe people have lost this much clothing!&quot; she panted.  &quot;There\'s gotta be at least ten other people walking around naked here!&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes, yes,&quot; Sandi said dismissively.  &quot;Now come along, let us retire to the closest restroom so we can have a little privacy while we assemble Tiffany\'s new outfit.&quot;\n\nQuinn and Sandi grabbed one side each of the box and lifted it between them.  At Sandi\'s direction, Tiffany stood next to the box on the side opposite from the office windows.  They then proceeded down to hall to where Stacy was waiting for them, confident that none of the secretaries milling about the office would notice anything out of the ordinary.\n\n&quot;Wow, that\'s a lot of clothes!&quot; Stacy said when they finally reached her.  &quot;Is there anything cute in there?&quot;\n\n&quot;If there [i:5t863mi6]is[/i:5t863mi6],&quot; Sandi told her sternly, &quot;then we will be giving it to [i:5t863mi6]Tiffany[/i:5t863mi6], now won\'t we?&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh!  Right!  Of course!&quot; Stacy exclaimed as if the whole reason for getting the box in the first place had slipped her mind.\n\nWhen the reached the bathroom, Stacy stepped inside and checked to make sure it was completely empty.  No one was standing at the sinks, nor were they lurking in the stalls, so she opened the door and waved the rest of the Fashion Club in.  Sandi and Quinn set the box on the sink counter while Stacy led Tiffany to one of the stalls so that even if they were interrupted, she would only need to close the door to protect her friend\'s dignity.\n\n&quot;Hmm,&quot; Sandi mused as she dug through the pile of clothing.  &quot;There doesn\'t seem to be much to choose from.  Still, we should be able to make do.  How about this?&quot;\n\nThe green dress she held up was elegantly cut, almost certainly lost by a homecoming or prom queen of yesteryear after she and her king decided not to wait until after they\'d left school grounds to consummate their victory.  It was also completely sheer.\n\n&quot;Very nice,&quot; Quinn said, looking it over with a critical eye, &quot;but not very good for covering up what needs to be covered up.  But with the right underwear, maybe a slip . . . &quot;\n\n&quot;Eeeeewwwww,&quot; Tiffany said, scrunching up her nose ever so slightly.  &quot;Wearing other people\'s underweeeeaaaar is grooooooss.&quot;\n\n&quot;Okay, sheer is out,&quot; Sandi said, tossing the dress over her shoulder before returning to the box.\n\n&quot;Ooooh, here we go!&quot; Quinn said, proudly holding up a blue button-up blouse.  &quot;If we can find a matching skirt-&quot;\n\n&quot;Thaaaaat would make me look like a teeeaaacheeeeer,&quot; Tiffany lamented.\n\nQuinn\'s eyes bugged wide and she dropped the blouse as if it were a live thing.  &quot;Sorry!  Ew!  My bad, totally!&quot;\n\n&quot;Blue jeans,&quot; Sandi said, holding up the item in question and looking at it with no small amount of distaste.  &quot;A bit low-class, but serviceable.&quot;\n\n&quot;Aren\'t those boy cut?&quot; Stacy asked.\n\n&quot;Ah.  So they are.  The question is, are boy cut jeans in or out right now?&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:5t863mi6]Out[/i:5t863mi6],&quot; Quinn said without looking up from the box.\n\nSandi frowned at the redhead, who pointedly ignored her.  &quot;Yes, as I had thought in the first place, of course,&quot; she said, throwing the jeans down.\n\nThe rest of homeroom period passed in much the same fashion, with even those few items that the other three girls could all agree on being shot down by Tiffany herself, usually for some Tiffany-logic reason.\n\nQuinn tossed the last item from the box aside and glanced at her watch.  Time was rapidly running out.  &quot;Well, we\'ve gone through everything and obviously we can\'t find anything fashionable enough.  But you have to wear [i:5t863mi6]something[/i:5t863mi6], right?  Can\'t you just, like, pick something out and throw it on?&quot;\n\nTiffany looked back and forth across the scattered pile of clothing on the floor, the super-sad face she\'d had outside returning as she looked over her options.  Seeing this as an opportunity, Sandi stepped forward and held her hand up to forestall any more comments from Quinn.\n\n&quot;I am not sure I should believe what my own ears are hearing at this very moment, [i:5t863mi6]Kuh-winn[/i:5t863mi6],&quot; she said disapprovingly.  &quot;Is the vice-president of the Fashion Club actually suggesting that another member of the club wear something [i:5t863mi6]un[/i:5t863mi6]fashionable against her will?  That is [i:5t863mi6]not[/i:5t863mi6] what the club [i:5t863mi6]I[/i:5t863mi6] started stood for!  Have things changed since [i:5t863mi6]I[/i:5t863mi6] started the club, perhaps?&quot;\n\nQuinn\'s eyes darted about the room, giving her the appearance of a trapped animal.  &quot;Oh, no, of course not, Sandi!&quot; she quickly wheedled.  &quot;I was just trying to think outside the box is all, look for a [i:5t863mi6]practical[/i:5t863mi6] solution, you know?  But if you have a more [i:5t863mi6]artful[/i:5t863mi6] solution, then by all means, let us know!&quot;\n\nSandi tried to grind her teeth together in such a way that none of the other girls would notice.  She hated it when Quinn did that, bouncing her own attacks back at her, mostly because the redhead was so damn [i:5t863mi6]good[/i:5t863mi6] at it.  Still, what was done was done, and it was up to her to figure a way to save Tiffany\'s dignity and - more importantly - the dignity of the Fashion Club.\n\nShe looked down at the lost-and-found clothing.  She looked back at the empty box.  She glanced around at the other girls.  She stared hard at Tiffany . . . \'s face.  And she did her best not to jump out of her skin when the end of period bell suddenly rang.\n\n[i:5t863mi6]Crunch time![/i:5t863mi6] her racing thoughts threw at her.  [i:5t863mi6]Desperate times!  Desperate measures![/i:5t863mi6]\n\n&quot;Ladies,&quot; she said, hoping that none of them could see the sweat beginning to pop out on her brow, &quot;I believe I may have a somewhat . . . [i:5t863mi6]unusual[/i:5t863mi6] solution.&quot;\n\n***\n\nDoors opened, students spilled out.  Heavy noise carrying a current of constant conversation and shuffling feet filled the air, punctuated occasionally by the rumbling of books being switched out and the metal clangs of lockers being slammed shut.  In the hallways of Lawndale High School, everything was proceeding as normal.\n\nIn all of the hallways save one.\n\nIn that singular corridor, a small bubble had opened up in the midst of the students congregated there.  This bubble moved through the crowd slowly but steadily, leaving almost complete silence in its wake.  Students moved out of the way, stopped, and then stared at the strange procession.  The few that were shocked into keeping their distance were compelled by the very force of personality emanating from the four girls, an almost tangible field of charismatic energy that stated in no uncertain terms to look but don\'t touch.\n\nWhen they reached the nearest intersection of hallways, the four Fashion Club divas stopped, turned, and struck poses that would have made any runway model turn green with envy.  The crowd closed ranks around them, but refrained from closing in.  Sandi, Quinn, Stacy, and Tiffany had commanded their undivided attention, and for obvious good reason.\n\nAside from their purses and backpacks, not a one of the four had any more clothing on them than Tiffany had started out with that morning.  They were statuesque in their nudity, as if they had been carved directly from flesh-colored marble.  They stood on the balls of their bare feet, appearing almost as if they were wearing invisible high heels.  And as much of a sight as they were to behold as a whole, the differences between their body types and skin tones added a spice of variety to the display that took the breath away.\n\n&quot;Oh.  My.  [i:5t863mi6]Gawd[/i:5t863mi6].&quot;\n\nSandi opened one eyelid to half-mast to see Tori Jericho push her way out of the crowd and waltz brazenly up stand in front of her.  &quot;Tori,&quot; she said authoritatively, &quot;may I ask just what it is you think you are doing?&quot;\n\nThe blonde\'s jaw dropped as she gave a brief bark of laughter.  &quot;What am [i:5t863mi6]I[/i:5t863mi6] doing?&quot; she asked.  &quot;What do you think [i:5t863mi6]you[/i:5t863mi6] are doing?  You\'re all [i:5t863mi6]naked![/i:5t863mi6]&quot;\n\n&quot;Actually, we are [i:5t863mi6]nude[/i:5t863mi6],&quot; Quinn chimed in without looking over.  &quot;There\'s, like, a [i:5t863mi6]world[/i:5t863mi6] of difference.&quot;\n\n&quot;Not that we would expect [i:5t863mi6]you[/i:5t863mi6] to know what the difference [i:5t863mi6]is[/i:5t863mi6],&quot; Sandi sneered at Tori.\n\n&quot;Ooooh, don\'t give me that!&quot; Tori said, wagging her finger.  &quot;This is just some cheap grab for more popularity!  Well it won\'t work!&quot;\n\n&quot;It\'s not for popularity!&quot; Stacy said, affecting as best she could the same aloof manner as her sisters-in-fashion.  &quot;Haven\'t you heard?  Nudity is the latest style!&quot;\n\nThe crowd finally broke its silence and started to buzz at this.  Sandi was pleased to note that much of it sounded positive.  From the boys, at least.  Tori\'s stormy expression, however, plainly showed that she for one wasn\'t buying it.\n\n&quot;The latest style, huh?&quot; she repeated.  &quot;Really?  And who says?&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh, everybody, of course,&quot; Sandi said, confidence filling her voice.  &quot;Like, think about it.  Nude beaches.  Nudist resorts.  TV shows with nudity in them.  Where are all these things popular, hmm?&quot;\n\nTori scrunched her face up in confusion.  &quot;Uh . . . Europe, I guess?&quot;\n\n&quot;Exactly!  Europe!  And who knows fashion better than anyone else?&quot;\n\nTori\'s skin suddenly turned pale.  &quot;Europeans,&quot; she said weakly.\n\nThe battle had been fought and won.  The boy\'s voices of approval were quickly joined by the girl\'s, and the Fashion Clubbers could even hear a few cheers sound out from the crowd.  Without another word, the four girls swept past Tori and continued on their way to their first period class.','24228baf07303d6d19c9df6dd68297e8',0,'YQ==','5t863mi6',1,1298050686,'',885,6,0),(460777,31935,6,1127,0,'122.149.68.63',1297482334,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The Latest Fashion','In unrelated news, Charles Ruttheimer III remains in a critical condition after suffering 3 simultanous heart attacks.\n\n<!-- s:lol: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif\" alt=\":lol:\" title=\"Laughing\" /><!-- s:lol: -->  <!-- s:lol: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif\" alt=\":lol:\" title=\"Laughing\" /><!-- s:lol: -->  <!-- s:lol: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif\" alt=\":lol:\" title=\"Laughing\" /><!-- s:lol: -->','39e95ece6c9e32933ec278f56c707a45',0,'','1je2onod',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460778,31930,3,305,0,'200.114.121.240',1297482486,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: I made some sims you might like','Breita!

Sandi sat down across from her and said, “Well?”\n“Well, what?”\n“Aren’t you going to tell us about your [i:3vypy4e1]cousin’s[/i:3vypy4e1] freakout today?”\nQuinn looked around, confused, as Tiffany gave her a vacant stare and Stacy looked at her in sympathy.\n“What freakout, Sandi?”\n“Joey told Adam who told Alison who told Bob who told Jennifer who told Cindy who told Shaggy who told Lisa who told Skylar Feldman while they were making out and Skylar told me right before lunch that your [i:3vypy4e1]cousin[/i:3vypy4e1] went completely postal and broke Kevin Thompson’s nose right in front of the Superintendent and then she got Upchuck arrested!” Sandi said in a single breath, but Quinn had already gotten up and was headed for the office.\n\nIn the office, she found Daria sitting in a corner, her face buried in her hands as Jane tried to comfort her. She tried to approach her, but a police officer stopped her.\n“Sorry, there’s been an incident and only family members of the people involved are allowed in the office right now. That girl’s sister is already here.”\n“Daria?” Quinn asked, fighting to keep an edge out of her voice.\nDaria looked up slowly, and nodded to the officer. “It’s ok, sir. That’s my [i:3vypy4e1]cousin[/i:3vypy4e1].” Daria spat the last word as though it left a foul taste in her mouth.\nQuinn felt the impact of that word as she had never imagined it. Slowly, she walked over to Jane and Daria. “What happened?” she whispered\n“Kevin grabbed her ass and then she saw Upchuck, who looks just like someone she might have run into this weekend,” Jane said, stressing the words to make Quinn read between the lines.\nQuinn’s eyes grew to the size of dinner plates.\nAt that moment, Helen swept through the door. “Where is the little bastard? I want his head on a platter!”\n“Ma’am, he’s been taken to the station and he’ll be questioned there. For now, I suggest you take your daughters and your niece home,” said the officer, pointing at Daria, Jane, and Quinn in that order.\nHelen bit off the retort that she had brewed up. “Girls, come on. Let’s go home.”\n\nAt the station, Charles Ruttheimer the III was sitting in a questioning room feeling very confused and overwhelmed. The officer sitting in front of him hadn’t said a word in over an hour. In the corner sat a darkened TV.\n“Officer, please, tell me what’s going on,” Charles said, fear evident in his voice. After a few more minutes of silence, a detective walked in, followed by Charles Ruttheimer, Jr. “Dad, what’s going on here? The cops at school said that they needed to question me about a rape! Please, dad, tell me what’s going on!”\n“Charles, these men need to ask you a few questions. You need to be honest, with no joking around,” his father said with a serious look in his eyes and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder.\nThe detective placed a photograph of Daria on the table. “Charles, do you know this girl?”\n“Yes, her name is Daria Morgendorffer and we have 3 classes together.”\n“Do you have any other connections with her?”\n“No, except I see her at the pizza place or at the Zon sometimes.”\n“Were you at the Zon on Friday night?”\n“Yeah, I went to the show there.”\n“Did you see Daria there at all?”\n“No, although I admit I looked for her. She sits in back usually, and I wanted to ask her to dance when that guitar guy played a slow piece.”\n“Guitar guy?”\n“Yeah, Trent something, I think. He’s in a band that plays there a lot.”\n“Mystik Spiral?”\n“Yeah, that’s it. What’s going on?”\n“We’ll ask the questions. Did you see Daria after the show?”\n“No, I didn’t see her at all. I didn’t even know she was there.”\nThe door opened and a police officer handed the detective an envelope. “Just in from the Zon, sir.” Opening it, he discovered the security tape of that night. He put the video in and turned the TV on. Watching in fast-forward, they all saw Daria in the front row and Charles sitting at the bar, looking around nervously. Daria suddenly left shortly after Trent started playing, but Charles didn’t even look up from his beverage. They forwarded through another three hours before Charles finally left.\n“Mr. Ruttheimer, I’m sorry for the inconvenience. You and your son are free to go.”\n\nHelen passed the news of Charles having been cleared on to Daria, Quinn and Jane, who were sitting in the living room of Schloss Morgendorffer in an icy silence. She left them to their moods, wishing she could do more.\nAfter another few minutes, Quinn finally broke. She got up, walked over to Daria, and squatted down in front of her.\n“Daria, I am so sorry about what I said over the weekend. Hell, I’m sorry for [i:3vypy4e1]everything[/i:3vypy4e1] I’ve done to you. I was so [i:3vypy4e1]stupid[/i:3vypy4e1]! I was wrapped up in fashion and popularity and all that nonsense, but none of that matters to me anymore. Daria, I’m done playing that game. From now on, I’m going to be the sister you should have had all along. Then maybe,” her voice started breaking, “maybe you’ll let me be your sister again.”\nQuinn sat there crying, her head hung in shame as Daria slowly reached out to her and stroked her hair gently. Quinn grabbed Daria’s hand and pressed it close to her face, letting Daria feel the tears of regret that were falling. Jane reached over and took Quinn’s hand in hers, giving it a gentle squeeze, at the same time taking Daria’s hand. The three sat like this for a long time, not talking, just being there for each other.\n	They jumped when the doorbell rang. Jane went to answer it, and fought Upchuck standing there, his head freshly shaved.\n“What do you want, Upchuck?” Jane asked, venom in her low voice.\n“Just to talk, unless it would bother Daria,” he said quietly, obviously not wanting any trouble. Daria walked up and, upon seeing his bald head, asked, “What happened to you?”\n“The police told me what happened, Daria. I’m so sorry about what happened, and I just want you to know that if you need anything at all, you can come to me anytime.”\n“No, I meant what happened to your hair.”\n“Oh,” he said, chuckling a little as he ran his hand over his head. “I didn’t want to risk giving you any more trouble. The cops told me about your description, so I figured this would give you less trouble if you come back to school.”\n“Assuming she’s not suspended for breaking Kevin’s nose,” Jane said, smirk on her face. At that moment, Helen walked in, hanging up her cell phone.\n“Daria, what’s your favorite color?”\n“Um, black and green. Why?” Daria asked, confused.\n“Because we’re going to get you a car tomorrow. That was the superintendent. The district has agreed to a [i:3vypy4e1]VERY[/i:3vypy4e1] generous settlement in exchange for me not dragging them over the coals about you being harassed by that Neanderthal at school today. They will be too busy looking into this grade-fixing scandal to have to worry about a lawsuit, they said. As for that other boy, I hope I get the chance to apologize to him someday.”\n“Accepted, Mrs. Morgendorffer,” he said with a small smile.\n“Oh! Hello, young man. I’d like to apologize for what happened today. It was a horrible mix-up, and if you want to press charges against the police for shaving your head, have your father call me, ok?”\nBurying a laugh, Charles said, “I’ll talk to him, ma’am. Now then, I’ll get going so I don’t take up more of your time.” As he turned to leave, he heard the door close behind him, followed by Daria’s voice. “Charles, wait.” \nHe paused, then turned around.\n“I’m so sorry about what I did to you today. I should have known that you wouldn’t do anything like that. Just because you’re perverted, and egotistical, and a bit too weird even for me doesn’t mean I should have freaked out like that.”\n“Daria, it’s ok. You don’t have to apologize. You didn’t do anything wrong,” he said giving her a small smile, then turned and walked to his car.\n\nBack inside, Helen had turned on the news. “I won’t be down here long, girls. I just want to see if the blizzard that has your father stranded has lifted yet.”\n	“[i:3vypy4e1]Tonight’s top story: this weekend was the first weekend in almost 3 months that Middleton College has gone without a rape reported on campus. Students there say they are hopeful the trouble is over, but aren’t holding their breath. Police on campus continue to circulate this composite sketch of the suspect, but so far no leads have come forward.”[/i:3vypy4e1]\n	The screen changed from the perky anchorwoman to a police sketch of a man with red hair, staring out at them from the screen. It held for a moment as she continued, “Anyone having any information about this man is advised to contact the Middleton Police Department.”\n	The girls all looked at Helen, who was already dialing and walking into the kitchen. Daria reentered the room just as the picture changed back to the anchor. [i:3vypy4e1]“In other news, the nearby town of Lawndale is facing a scandal as the football team at the local high school is being investigated on charges of grade-fixing. One of the students had this to say.”[/i:3vypy4e1]\n	The image changed again, now to a video of Kevin with an obviously broken nose. “[i:3vypy4e1]I’m the QB!”[/i:3vypy4e1] Instantly back to the anchor.\n	[i:3vypy4e1]“Indeed you are, young man, but for how long?

Jane and Quinn sat quietly the whole time, keeping vigil.\n\nCharles was keeping a vigil in his own way. He was poring over the copy of the Zon’s security footage that he had ‘acquired’ at great personal cost. Now, halfway through his second bottle of Ultra Cola, he dropped the bottle and rewound the tape, using his computer to zoom in. Although blurry, he thought he could see….\n“Could it be?...”\nRewind.\nZoom.\n“No…”\nRewind.\nZoom.\n“You [i:3vypy4e1]bastard[/i:3vypy4e1]…”','9eedf5d6d92ceb959360cb2c63929d76',0,'YA==','3vypy4e1',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460784,31903,5,1131,0,'207.172.88.224',1297485996,1,0,1,1,1,0,'','Re: Songs Daria would write / music she\'d listen to','I could see Daria as a Kate Bush fan.\n\n[youtube:1fe6im2w]NTUcoR8_pyE[/youtube:1fe6im2w]','af9ebe44941e3dc240ab8d943d8b4368',0,'AAE=','1fe6im2w',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460785,31889,6,1151,0,'206.126.163.20',1297486053,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Iron Chef:  Titles','[quote=&quot;Brother Grimace&quot;:77h8okp0][quote=&quot;Hyrin&quot;:77h8okp0][i:77h8okp0]Geek Like Me[/i:77h8okp0]\n\nSynopsis: As an extra credit assignment from Mr. O\'Neill, Quinn spends 2 months as \'opposite of who you are now as possible\' so that she can understand herself better.

Looks like the girls did make it back to school before Valentine\'s Day.)\n\nHoliday Roadtrip\n\nPart Six (&quot;Are we there yet?&quot;)\n\nTrent and Jesse were laughing. Nothing new about that. What confused Jane was the apparent fact that both Trent and Jesse were apparently sucking in huge lungfuls of Helium between bouts of laughter.\n\nIt was kind of funny at first, but as Jane slowly came awake, she was confused. As far as she knew, neither Trent nor Jesse were anywhere in the yellow Mini. Further, the car was stopped in the breakdown lane of some highway, and the high pitched laughter was coming from... Connie and Daria?\n\n&quot;Guys... GUYS!&quot;\n\nThe two girls in the front seat turned red faces and eyes streaming with tears towards the occupant of the back seat.\n\nWhich, for some reason, resulted in another bout of laughter.\n\n&quot;[i:2y5ntxtk]OK, drastic measures are called for![/i:2y5ntxtk]&quot;\n\nJane reached out, grabbed an earlobe on each girl and squeezed. Hard. With more than a little thumbnail thrown in for good measure.\n\nThe sudden pain broke the Infinitely Regressive Laughter Loop.\n\n&quot;Now, at the peril of getting a free ear piercing here and now... what\'s so funny?&quot;\n\n&quot;... \'yeah, and we could have died in New Jersey\'... well, that set Daria off and it got me going and I couldn\'t see where we were going and I pulled off and stopped and got the blinkers going...&quot;\n\n&quot;And we couldn\'t stop laughing. I\'d look at her or she\'d look at me or we wouldn\'t even look at each other and we\'d start laughing again.&quot;\n\nJane sighed, long and deeply.\n\n&quot;Where are we?&quot;\n\n&quot;We passed a sign, I think it said \'North Kingstown\'?&quot;\n\nA road map was consulted.\n\n&quot;Right. Daria, you switch places with me. Connie, slide over.&quot;\n\nA few moments later, the Mini was on the road and heading north on Route 95.\n\nNorth of Providence, they stopped at an all night Dunkin Donuts shop. A large coffee later, along with another large coffee to go, along with a sack of doughnuts, Jane was in the car, waiting on her friends as they attended to their needs in the ladies room and to obtain whatever beverages and pastries they thought appropriate.\n\nWhich turned out to be large coffees to go and a sack of doughnuts. For each.\n\nAs they passed the border between Rhode Island and Massachusetts, Jane called out, &quot;Home stretch, ladies! We\'ll be in Boston inside of an hour. If you gotta go, well, you got empty coffee cups or you hold it until we hit BFAC, \'cause I ain\'t stopping until I park this thing in front of my dorm!&quot;\n\nThe miles and minutes sped by. An oldies station on the radio provided a soundtrack. Their singalong to Queen\'s \'Bohemian Rhapsody\' was energetic and enthusiastic, if not always on key.\n\n30 minutes later, they were paralleling a set of MBTA subway tracks. They weren\'t yet inside Boston city limits, however, they were very close indeed.\n\nIt was close to 10 PM when the little yellow Mini parked in front of a pre WWII era 4 story office building on a side street near Boston Fine Arts College.\n\n&quot;So, look... you guys wanna crash here tonight?&quot; Jane offered, after they got her things to her room.\n\nDaria and Connie looked at each other.\n\nConnie spoke up. &quot;Once we get on Mass Ave, it\'s a straight run to Davis Square and then Raft. That coffee is still working on me. I can make it to the dorm. I might not make it INSIDE, mind you, but I can get there. Your call, Daria.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah, let\'s get back to Somerville. I wanna sleep in my own bed.&quot;\n\nThe three friends shared hugs goodbye. Connie and Daria did indeed make it to Raft. They parked the Mini and lugged their bags, and the blanket and pillow, to the dorm room they shared.\n\nDaria grabbed their mail from the box they shared in the lobby, the guard at the desk asked about their trip. &quot;It was fun.&quot;\n\n&quot;Connie, you Asians are the masters of understatement.&quot;\n\n&quot;It\'s a gift.&quot;\n\nIn their room, they quickly stripped off their travel clothes and donned their sleepwear.\n\nLater, in their beds.\n\n&quot;Daria?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes?&quot;\n\n&quot;I had a great time. I love your family. Thanks for everything.&quot;\n\n&quot;You\'re welcome. It was a pretty good time, wasn\'t it.&quot;\n\n&quot;You\'re a good friend Daria, you know that?&quot;\n\n&quot;So I\'ve been told.

He leaned forward across his desk, holding a bottle of fine brandy in one hand and offering her a glass snifter in the other.\n\n“Certainly.”  Taking the offered glass, she held it steady as he poured.  \n\nHe set the bottle down and sat, raising his glass in salute and sipping slowly, savoring the sweet burst.\n\nTaking a sip herself, she smiled slightly.  “Very nice.”  She tilted the glass, downing the remaining contents with a pleased shudder.  She set the glass down, then wreathed her body in flames.  “But I’m in something of a rush, so let’s get down to business.  [i:zj30ozw7]I have a universe to burn[/i:zj30ozw7].”\n\nJim took another gradual sip, enjoying the liquid while waving an admonishing finger.  “That’s your problem, you know.  You’ve been in such a rush, you’ve gotten sloppy about certain things.” \n\n“Really?”  Judith sneered.  “I have the body count to prove otherwise.”\n\nJim sighed.  “I certainly don’t want to lecture you, but as you well know, power is about more than just might, which you admittedly have in abundance.  It’s also about knowledge.”\n\n“Mmmhm.  So let’s see if you have the knowledge to speed things up.  The 3-d projection of yourself that appeared the instant I popped into this dimension grants you an audience with me, but only if it’s [i:zj30ozw7]entertaining[/i:zj30ozw7].”\n\n“Ah, so you want entertainment?  I love the arts myself, like, say, paintings.  We have a local artist, who I’m afraid only has modest talent right now, but in the future, well, who knows?”\n\nJudith stiffened, barely perceptibly, her face a neutral mask.  “And your point…?”\n\n“Jane.  Lane.”\n\nFury flickered across Judith’s face, her eyes red, then the mask returned.  “You have my attention.  And that’s not a good thing.”\n\n“Oh, but I’m afraid it is.  Really, didn’t you ever stop to consider that between scrying, spirits, demi-gods, and technology indistinguishable from magic that somebody would be eavesdropping on you, in a way you weren’t detecting?   And thereby determine that you always take Jane out of the picture before you start your destructive orgy?”\n\n“I presume you have her.”\n\n“Yes, this dimension’s version is being kept by the… organization… I’m part of.  We have plans for this world’s Daria, and would also be rather pissed if the assets here were destroyed by [b:zj30ozw7]a child throwing a temper tantrum[/b:zj30ozw7].”\n\n“Congratulations, you just might stop my rampage through the multiverse.”  Judith’s flames deepened in shade to pitch black, shrouding her body in an ebony swirling mass.  “Because if you hurt her, well,  this dimension becomes my new home, and I’ll entertain myself with you and everyone else in it for a long, [i:zj30ozw7]long[/i:zj30ozw7] time.” \n     \n“Of course we won’t.  You’re going to leave without doing anything in this dimension or to its inhabitants, and we’ll be happy to let Jane go.  Hell, we’ll secretly set her up for life.”  Jim took another sip with a pleased smile, then set the glass back down.  “Now, before you think about having any of your allies try to yank her out from this dimension, or you yourself teleporting in near her and doing so, understand this.  My allies have both magical and technological safeguards in place, and let me assure you, any kind of screwing around will have extremely unfortunate consequences for Jane.”\n\n“Fine, but I will make sure you’re upholding your end of this bargain from time to time.”\n\n“So long as all you do is check from a distance, and nothing else, that’s acceptable.”  \n\nJudith’s flames disappeared and she smiled wryly.  “Well, at least this beats the things I’ve gone through from that damn amateur Ringbearer.  Just wait til I catch up with her.”  She tapped her locket, and disappeared in a flash of light.','13c55c3ba6b11d04629703bcf8961af3',0,'YA==','zj30ozw7',1,1297514554,'',184,1,0),(460825,31105,6,1108,0,'86.164.210.84',1297512531,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The Hallowed Halls of Fielding (Part 82 - 2/10/11)','I doubt Bethany knows.

You aren\'t just sharing a story or an image, you are sharing an experience. And most art is going to be interpreted in different ways by different people, in spite of it seeming cut-and-dry to you. Yes, even if you explicitly outline what\'s going on, some stubborn people will disregard it to take ownership of [i:2y0xkqb9]their[/i:2y0xkqb9] experience.\n\nIt\'s just one of those things that will grate on your nerves occasionally. Actually, it\'s precisely why I refused to respond to comments on short stories for a while... call it a &quot;show, but don\'t tell&quot; phase. Don\'t let it get you down, and keep up the good work. As others have shown ITT, your art is appreciated and respected.\n\n\n[quote=&quot;tafka&quot;:2y0xkqb9]Artists get emotionally involved in their artwork BECAUSE it is an emotional thing. If the artist doesn\'t connect emotionally with the piece in question during creation, how can we expect the audience to?[/quote:2y0xkqb9]\nTHIS\n\nMore often than not, you can tell when someone has really put a piece of themselves into their art. I can\'t put my finger on it. There\'s just a certain authenticity that you\'ll sense from the outset. I remember talking with a respected music blogger at a party late last year, and we agreed upon the 3 fundamental elements of art, in descending order: passion, personality and concept. While that may be a tad simplistic, it has worked well as a general rule when evaluating how I feel about content.','225ac05fc5fbab5d55a37ed42aa4d4ec',0,'oA==','2y0xkqb9',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460832,31928,6,1108,0,'86.164.210.84',1297514432,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Bad Times (Part 3)','That was brutal.

Arabs were weaned on Egyptian cinema, and it was the dashing military general who seized power in Egypt in 1952, Gamal Abdel Nasser, who transformed decades of political thought across the Middle East with the dream — elusive, it turned out — of Arab nationalism.\n\n...\n\nEven before Mubarak\'s resignation, governments in Jordan, Algeria, Morocco, Syria and Yemen were moving ahead with reforms in an attempt to head off dissent. Even so, anti-government rallies are scheduled over the coming days in Algeria, Bahrain, Libya, Iran and Morocco.\n\nFew expect major upsets in those countries: Algeria has struggled with instability for years; Libya and Iran have histories of cruelly crushing upstart democratic activists.\n\nYet the drama of Egypt\'s political earthquake is underscored by the fact that it was so unpredictable.

I seem to remember you saying you do all your digital work with a mouse only, which I find impressive. I don\'t have that kind of patience!\n\nWhen I do a background, if I do one at all, I usually draw it by hand on paper separate from the foreground and then layer the foreground on top of it digitally. So often, I spend so much time drawing the foreground and getting it just the way I want it. Once I\'m satisfied with it, I\'m afraid that I\'ll mess up the original by adding a background to the original drawing. What if I can\'t get the background to look right? I\'ve just ruined the whole thing! Aaargghhh!!! \n\nI get way too stressed out about not wanting to mess up what I\'ve already done. Which is probably why I don\'t paint much.

Still my personal favorite, I think it looks better than anything else I\'ve done so far.  I really should start separating background and foreground more often.\n\nAs for paint, I know what you mean.  However, the good thing about paint (at least acrylic, from my experience) is that you can cover it back up very easily.  Anything that messes up can be fixed - and in some cases I draw with pencil over dry paint to sorta &quot;blueprint&quot; certain things before painting again.   <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D -->  \n\n[quote=&quot;Charles RB&quot;:2b9c8cwm][quote=&quot;breitasparrow&quot;:2b9c8cwm]Fixed it for you.   <!-- s;) --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif\" alt=\";)\" title=\"Wink\" /><!-- s;) --> [/quote:2b9c8cwm]\n\n <!-- s:oops: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif\" alt=\":oops:\" title=\"Embarassed\" /><!-- s:oops: -->[/quote:2b9c8cwm]\n\nAw, that\'s okay.

And whispered was an understatement, people were downright asking her what had happened with Nadine. After all, Elsie was present when it happened, and the only other person, Bianca, did not attend Fielding. \n	\nElsie answered their questions informatively, but properly. She did not discuss Nadine’s “filthy habit” or anything like that, just said that Nadine was the only one unaccounted for when they went missing. \n	\nThere were those who offered sympathy about how it was attempted that Elsie was framed, but for the most part, they didn’t mention how Nadine framed her. Elsie was fine with that, she didn’t need a victim card, the purpose was to stop Nadine, and anything else was just a bonus. \n	\n“So, I didn’t even need to ask you about the party, did I? Whoever said men weren’t above gossip never had a gem like that.” Reed smiled once the two of them were alone. “But I thought we were after Bianca.”\n	\n“She talked to me all night.” Elsie returned. “It was really playing it by ear.” Elsie really had no choice but to go with it. “But at least it’s over and done with. There’s no need to waste our time on Bianca further. So, shall we bask in the praise, or should we find our next target.”\n	\n“Well, I didn’t learn anything from the night at the bowling alley.” Reed returned. “I wasn’t really looking, though. It looks like now we’ve earned ourselves a little break. Of course, isn’t there a party coming up at your house? Who knows what thoughtless person might make a comment at that one.” \n	\nIt was true, Katherine was throwing a get-together for prospective members at Winged Tree Country Club. Being a member of the board always meant the prospects were out to impress her, and parties were the perfect way to do that. \n	\nBeing a host was difficult, Elsie knew that for a fact. And people could make thoughtless, absent comments about a party when they attended. About the food, about the servants, and the list really went on.\n	\nIt was the perfect place to find her next target, Elsie was risking boredom, and anyone who said something bad about her family deserved to be retaliated upon. \n	\nBianca would probably not attend such a thing anyway, and neither would Tom. They would be off together doing whatever it was they were doing. It seemed they were fond of each other anyway, which was fine. Bianca wasn’t a threat anymore, beneath notice. Not worth spending time on. \n\n	\nBianca had agreed to meet Tom Tuesday after school. He had heard the rumors, about what had happened at Christine’s party. While he didn’t care one wit for that useless boor Nadine, it might upset Bianca, and that was sucky. Bianca had nothing to do with her thieving cousin. Tom would sure hate it if people blamed him for his sister’s actions. She always seemed to be around chaos like this. \n	\n“Not sure what is more sad. That Elsie could do such things or that no one else notices she’s always around when it happens.” Tom wondered. \n	\nBianca was sitting at Pizza Palace, and she greeted him warmly, like always.\n	\n“How are you doing?” Tom asked. Best not to frame it and reference the incident. Bianca would know better, but perhaps the effort he made not to mention it would be noticed.\n	\n“I am well, Tom. No doubt you are curious about what happened.” Bianca remarked.\n	\n“It wasn’t you, that I know. As far as I’m concerned, I’ve got nothing to worry about.”\n	\n“That is the first sensible thing I’ve heard all day. My uncle was grilling me intensely, thinking that somehow I “influenced” his dear little girl. Needless to say, I won’t be staying here much longer.” \n	\n“Because of your uncle?” Tom protested. “Who cares what he thinks.”\n	\n“I shouldn’t, Tom, I know that. But the fact of the matter is, that he is my uncle, and he’s making it clear I am not welcome. No one ever said that parents were the most rational decision makers. I can only imagine how he and my father are fighting. I’m told they were worse as children, though I don’t believe it.” \n	\n“This whole thing feels weird to me.” Tom remarked.\n	\n“It should, Nadine was innocent.” Bianca shrugged. Tom’s eyes widened when he told her that. \n	\n“You know this?”\n	\n“Let us say that I know who I think it is, and Nadine doesn’t possess the mental acuity to crack a safe.” Bianca returned.\n	\n“What, you think Christine is playing it up for sympathy?” \n	\n“No, that would be far too careless of her.”\n	\n“So, it’s Elsie, then? I thought that might be the case.” Tom shrugged. \n	\n“I’m surprised, most people would react differently.”\n\n“I can’t say I like hearing it, but she is in the wrong, there’s no doubt of that.” Tom returned. “Not that anyone could tell her anything. Sorry that my sister’s causing you problems.” \n	\n“You do not have to be sorry, Tom.” Bianca returned. “Nadine actually asked me to humiliate your sister in a similar fashion. I’m not upset it backfired on her. Karma, no?”\n	\n“But Elsie...” Tom growled a bit. He was not sorry, he was furious. Bianca could be heading back to Hungary, and, if this split between brothers lasted a long time, he might never see her again. And Nadine, prima donna and diva though she was, was not a thief. This was so unbelievably wrong. \n	\nThere was only one possible response to this. Tom didn’t like it, but left unchecked, Elsie would just make things worse and worse for everyone. Tom didn’t have many people he considered “friends” at Fielding, but they existed. It wouldn’t be sacred to Elsie. Nothing got in the way of her fun. \n	\n&quot;Until now, that is.&quot; Bianca saw his face, and spoke up in a quiet tone. Normally, Tom wouldn\'t be interested in the follow-up to that sentence. But he sat still and let her continue.\n\n\nElsie was sitting at afternoon tea with her mother, discussing the party she would be having on Thursday. Normally, Elsie wasn’t a part of this, she was not an adult and many of the functions of Winged Tree were not for minors. But, many of the prospects attending this party had children in Fielding, and her mother was asking her questions about them.\n	\nIt had been going pleasantly for a little before Tom came in.\n	\n“Oh, Tom, good evening.” Mom smiled. “Please, sit down and join us. I’ll have a cup of tea made for you.” \n	\n“Umm...okay, Mom.” Tom smiled, and took a seat. This was odd for him, but not unheard of. Sometimes he was a part of the family. \n	\n“Fix Tom a cup of tea, that would be darling.” Mom told the butler. “Excuse me a moment, sweeties.” Mom excused herself, probably to use the facilities. \n	\n“You’re chipper today.” Elsie commented sarcastically. Tom was frowning immensely. She didn’t care what could get the normally Mr. Calm and Collected to get angry.\n	\n“I’m just thinking about something some jerk told me today. It’s nothing, don’t worry about it.” Tom seethed.\n	\n“Someone said something? About that whole Nadine thief thing?”\n	\n“Please, I don’t care about that.” Tom shrugged.\n	\n“But you and Bianca.”\n	\n“Bianca isn’t Nadine.” Tom returned. Elsie supposed, given that Bianca was a foreign guest, perhaps being cousins with a thief wasn’t so bad. Such a thing, either having a relative from Europe or being caught a thief, were very common. \n	\n“So, what was it?”\n	\n“You know Bradley Hastert, right? Grade ahead of me.” Not a name she was familiar with, but a player on the lacrosse team, if Elsie knew correctly. Rather good looking.\n	\n“He mentioned something about glad to not be attending Mother’s party this Thursday, something about our servants having poor manners.” Tom remarked. \n	\n“Is...is that right?” Elsie questioned. Tom was too simple, not a player of the game. And Bradley Hastert, from what she knew, was a bit of a hardass anyway. It was something he’d say. \n	\n“That’s such a rude man. I’m glad he’s not coming.” Elsie smiled. Thursday would be busy, anyway. Now was the time to plan.','3df5ebc88fe12ec3f1755d056474eb92',0,'IA==','25g05bnc',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460881,31919,3,1015,0,'64.30.126.159',1297537867,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The Completely Random Post Thread: Common Cold Edition','Photos of me by [url=http&#58;//www&#46;flickr&#46;com/photos/14973230@N00/:3892xt23]Frances Swiecki[/url:3892xt23]\n[img:3892xt23]http&#58;//farm6&#46;static&#46;flickr&#46;com/5053/5417931472_1bdecc1487&#46;jpg[/img:3892xt23]\n\n[img:3892xt23]http&#58;//farm6&#46;static&#46;flickr&#46;com/5255/5417933410_7caca2b28c&#46;jpg[/img:3892xt23]\n\n[img:3892xt23]http&#58;//farm6&#46;static&#46;flickr&#46;com/5019/5439425802_0577d21a50&#46;jpg[/img:3892xt23]\n\nMore to come...','55dc95d7dfe7b94d268c44b8ebf0204d',0,'GA==','3892xt23',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460882,31938,3,1015,0,'64.30.126.159',1297538077,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: What happens when you have a tangerine.....','That\'s quite impressive.','d1a04aa8b6d95a1cfe45296de3a5eeda',0,'','s2rxxewb',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460883,31919,3,30,0,'209.34.217.25',1297538232,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The Completely Random Post Thread: Common Cold Edition','Cool pictures!

Remember to keep shields up, they only have close-range weapons like their fangs, meat cleavers, and chainsaws.”\n\nTwenty five hardened Warhammers and one extremely soft Amelia Pine nodded to show they understood.

You’re pretty cool sometimes, Quinn. Huh, look, coffins: those people killed themselves to get out of this video.”\n\n“WAAA! ZOMBIES! …hey, zombies are cool!”\n\nShe could see the two now, staring with almost vacant expressions at the TV. Quinn was gibbering over the sight of people climbing from vats in the video.\n\n“Huh huh, it’s like she’s wearing a condom. They’re, uhhh, those neck-filler guys.”\n\n“These lyrics SUCK!”\n\n“They fit the music then. Huhuhuhuh!”\n\n“Hehehehehehehe! That was cool!”\n\nThere was another sofa as well. [i:3gxihe9v]Other[/i:3gxihe9v] Daria’s were on it, half naked and tied up &amp; gagged. Three of them looked half dead, staring at their gibbering counterpart in resigned horror, but one spotted Amelia and started to scream for help. \n\n“Hey, Quin, huhuhuh, she likes it [i:3gxihe9v]diseased[/i:3gxihe9v] – you can score now-“\n\n“Shut up, Daria!

Her first thought was “OH GOD WHAT IS THIS I DON’T EVEN”, but she thought that wasn’t politic and so went with “ummm” instead.\n\nThe two degenerates looked at her. \n\n“Whoa!” cackled Quinn. “Is that a cop? Heheheh. We totally didn’t do it!”\n\n“Yeah, really. It was all Quinn.”\n\n“Yeahyeahyeah! Heheheh! All m- Errr, wait-“\n\nAmelia could smell something really bad, and she had a horrible feeling what (who) it was. “Ummm… Where, er, did you get… those other you’s?”\n\nDaria scratched her head, thinking. And then thinking some more. “Uhhhh… That, like, Judge Judy chick gave us them. She does that a few times-“\n\n“She makes things catch on FIRE!!” screamed Quinn, as if having an orgasm at the thought. [b:3gxihe9v]“FIRE! FIRRREEEE!!!!”[/b:3gxihe9v]\n\n“Huhuh, you dumbass.

Huhuhuh.”\n\n“Heheheheeh!”\n\n“Huhuhuhuh!”\n\nOne of the captive Daria’s slumped over, eyes staring blankly; the lights on and nobody home.\n\n“I… I think they’ve learnt a lot,” said Amelia carefully, stepping over to the second sofa and trying to avoid the stray pizza boxes on the floor. “So, I’m… I’m going to take them back home so they can be cool, okay?”\n\n“Hey! Hey! Hey!” Quinn jabbed Daria and pointed her back at the TV. “That chick is totally trying to score with that dude!”\n\n“Yeah, she’s gonna keep dancing badly and doing a sucky song until he drops his pants so she\'ll stop. Huhuhuh.”\n\n“Heheheheh – hey, maybe WE should try that!!”\n\n“….whoooa. [i:3gxihe9v]Cool.[/i:3gxihe9v]”\n\nIgnored, Amelia warped out, taking the Daria’s with them. Daria and Quinn wondered where she’d gone for a full few seconds, until Daria farted and Quinn set the fart on fire and they started to giggle again.\n\n\n----\n\n\n“I’m not sure how you managed to track Judith’s activities to that reality, but you’ve saved four lives and located one of…” Conroy looked disgusted. “…[i:3gxihe9v]those[/i:3gxihe9v] alternate realities, and we thought the Agency had closed them all [i:3gxihe9v]off[/i:3gxihe9v].

All eyes followed them save for those of Mr. O\'Neill himself, who was busy writing something Shakespearey on the whiteboard.\n\nOne of the boys on the other side of the room burst into laughter, but it died in his throat when he saw all four girls snap their heads in his direction and give him identical icy glares.  They then returned to sorting out their books and writing utensils while the rest of the class collapsed into small knots of tersely whispered conversations.\n\n&quot;Well now, class,&quot; Mr. O\'Neill said after the bell had run, &quot;I have to say that this is the quietest I\'ve ever had a period start!  Kudos for you on being such well-behaved OH MY GOODNESS!&quot;\n\nO\'Neill had turned away from his work at the board to scan the group of - in his mind - fresh faces eager to learn, but quickly stopped when he noticed that he could see more than just faces.  He could see [i:1984hem8]those[/i:1984hem8], and [i:1984hem8]hers[/i:1984hem8], and [i:1984hem8]gracious me[/i:1984hem8], and [i:1984hem8]oh my![/i:1984hem8]\n\nHe quickly grabbed up a handful of papers from his desk and ran to the back of the room in what could only be described as a loping gait, stopping just short of the girls and holding the papers in front of his face so he wouldn\'t be looking directly at them.\n\n&quot;I\'m sorry if I\'m embarrassing you in front of the rest of the class,&quot; he said, strain cracking his syrupy voice, &quot;but are you girls aware that you are . . . at this very moment . . . completely . . . and totally . . . [i:1984hem8]unclothed?[/i:1984hem8]&quot;\n\n&quot;We prefer the term \'nude\',&quot; Quinn replied.\n\n&quot;And yes,&quot; Sandi added, &quot;we are quite aware.  Thank you, Mr. O\'Neill, that will be all.&quot;  She then waved him away, as if she were shooing a servant or a small child.\n\n&quot;Ah, I see,&quot; he said, sweat popping out on his brow.  &quot;Well.  Er.  If I may ask . . . [i:1984hem8]why[/i:1984hem8] are you all unclo- nude?&quot;\n\n&quot;It\'s the latest faaaaashiiiooon,&quot; said Tiffany.\n\n&quot;All the rage!&quot; Quinn said, nodding once emphatically.\n\n&quot;Well, erm, be that as it may,&quot; O\'Neill told them, trying to inject his tone with a hint of authority, &quot;I\'m afraid you, uh, you just . . . [i:1984hem8]can\'t![/i:1984hem8]&quot;\n\nSandi fought to keep a predatory grin from spreading across her face, instead affecting indignant anger.  It was time to go in for the kill.  &quot;And why [i:1984hem8]not?[/i:1984hem8]&quot; she demanded.  &quot;Is not the female form a wonderful thing?  Should we not be allowed to share it as such?  Are we not to be allowed, like, our freedom of expression or whatever?  Do you wish to keep us from our right to be seen as we want to be seen?  Would you deny us our femininity?  Our progressing fashion?  Our freedom of [i:1984hem8]self?[/i:1984hem8]&quot;\n\n&quot;Well-!  I-!  I-!  It\'s just-!&quot; O\'Neill stammered, looking out at the rest of the class for some kind of support but receiving none.  In fact, a large portion of the students, to his horror, actually seemed to be mulling over Sandi\'s words.  &quot;But . . . but . . . you\'re [i:1984hem8]underage![/i:1984hem8]&quot; he finally blurted out.\n\nSandi and Quinn glanced nervously at each other at this.  Back in the restrooms, they had figured that would eventually come up but hadn\'t had enough time to come up with a proper response.  Their minds raced, trying to figure out something, anything to say when suddenly-\n\n&quot;[i:1984hem8]Bull![/i:1984hem8]&quot;\n\nEvery head suddenly turned toward Stacy, who looked more shocked at her own outburst than anyone else in the room.  Even O\'Neill lowered the papers covering his face and stared at her with wide eyes.\n\n&quot;I\'m- . . . what?&quot; he asked, thoroughly confused.\n\nStacy\'s eyes darted back and forth as her jaw worked silently.  Ever since the teacher had rushed over to them, she had been digging her fingernails into the faux-wood of her desk and hoping fervently that she wouldn\'t have to speak up, but obviously that was no longer an option.  She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then opened them again, staring him down.\n\n&quot;I said \'bull\', Mr. O\'Neill,&quot; she told him.  &quot;What is \'underage\', anyway?  Just another tool used to suppress teenagers, isn\'t it?  An arbitrarily assigned number based on societal desires based on unrelated issues.  The general age of majority is eighteen, but it wasn\'t always that way!  It was only raised after technology started becoming more and more advanced, requiring more and more time in school to teach people how to survive in a more technically sophisticated world.\n\n&quot;The moral guardians saw this and took it as a chance to stamp out what they had begun to see as \'youthful indiscretions\' amongst those between the ages of ten and twenty.  They used the necessity of longer schooling to force a sociological paradigm shift in which teenagers would be perceived as not only unable to function fully in the areas of technology and learning, but in the social, political, and sexual arenas as well!\n\n&quot;This suppression and oppression of the teenager continues well into this day and age, an era in which we are all supposedly oh so enlightened, but we are all really just mired in the poor moral morass created by forefathers who didn\'t give enough forethought to their decisions!  And now here you are, trying to continue propagating that very same tyrannical bull when you\'re the one teacher in this entire school who claims to be sensitive to the students\' needs, desires, and rights!\n\n&quot;Are you still going to be able to claim that after today, Mr. O\'Neill?  Are you?!\n\n&quot;[i:1984hem8]ARE YOU?![/i:1984hem8]&quot;\n\nThe entire class suddenly erupted into applause, causing O\'Neill to nearly jump through the roof.  Amidst the jeers and calls of support for the girls that followed, he rushed back up to the front of the class and started shuffling his papers, looking as if he wished he could simply shrink away to nothing and disappear.  Stacy, meanwhile, gaped back at her three friends as they turned to stare at her.\n\n&quot;Wow, Stacy, that was great!&quot; Quinn said, sounding genuinely impressed.  &quot;But . . . was any of it, like, true?  And where did you get all that from, anyway?&quot;\n\nThe girl threw her hands up in the air.  &quot;I don\'t know!  I stumbled across this teenager-empowerment website one day, and I guess some of it just kinda . . . sunk in!&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes, very well done, Stacy dear,&quot; Sandi agreed, deigning to grace Stacy with one of her rare compliments.  &quot;Ladies, I do believe that we may just survive this day yet.&quot;\n\nAs the period progressed, it seemed that Sandi\'s optimism was well founded.  O\'Neill started on the day\'s lesson and tried his damndest to pretend that the earlier events hadn\'t even happened, but it wasn\'t easy by any means since every time he looked up he found more and more of his class sitting there, listening to him attentively, completely nude.','9156053f886c5e00e2f0a99d89cd2550',0,'IA==','1984hem8',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460910,31240,6,1108,0,'86.164.210.84',1297552128,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: \'Flashpoints\': A Worldburner Mini-Fics Thread','But if she dies there, she\'ll never have to see [i:2jl30m5x]that[/i:2jl30m5x] Daria and Quinn ever again!  <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D -->','ef532b9282b35b9942ac1310a1ed555a',0,'IA==','2jl30m5x',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460911,31240,6,276,0,'64.12.116.196',1297552205,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: \'Flashpoints\': A Worldburner Mini-Fics Thread','Oh my, that was my fault...\n\n <!-- s:lol: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif\" alt=\":lol:\" title=\"Laughing\" /><!-- s:lol: -->','64b857632155963fff4fcc801f505179',0,'','af1rijw4',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460912,31240,6,305,0,'200.114.121.240',1297552407,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: \'Flashpoints\': A Worldburner Mini-Fics Thread','“Hehehehehehehe!

The school was named the Gilbert Friends school, and were formerly known as (what else?) the Quakers.  However, in the 1960s the traditional Quakers Oats type of Quaker mascot had fallen into disfavor from the more radical members and alumni.\n\nAfter an abortive effort to get rid of all sports at Gilbert Friends (Gilbert Friends lost its cheerleaders during this time, the only MEPSAL school that does not have cheerleaders), as a peace offering the Quaker was retired at Gilbert Friends in 1972 and was replaced with the Milliner mascot.  A milliner is a hat maker, and the inspiration came from Nayler Gilbert\'s apprenticeship in the dressmaking industry where he trained as a hat maker.  \n\nThe Quaker mascot (Smiling Bill) disappeared from school and was replaced by...his hat, which is now all that is left of the old logo.  Gilbert Friends students merely claim that Smiling Bill is at work in the community and has merely left his hat behind, and will retrieve it at some later date.  Fielding students joke that the Fielding Blue Jay punched Smiling Bill so hard that he was knocked cold, and like in a Warner Brothers cartoon gravity has not yet caught up with the Quaker\'s hat.','f8414020511505fa31efbc9b32f444f2',0,'YA==','2jemic1j',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460929,31919,3,545,0,'108.10.67.23',1297559971,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The Completely Random Post Thread: Common Cold Edition','Just now getting over a bad cold/flu.

I would have been the poster child for tween self-delusion, brainwashing them into the cult of celebrity hero worship through self-worship: the show\'s message is that everyone who has a normal teenage life has the right to be a celebrity, indeed [i:2p01n33v]is[/i:2p01n33v] a celebrity, just without the hair and makeup. What’s more, everyone [i:2p01n33v]can[/i:2p01n33v] be a celebrity by watching Miley’s show and indulging in its fantasy: you make Miley a celebrity by supporting her show and buying her merchandise, and she feeds your sense of entitlement, your delusion that you already always are a celebrity.

That\'s why I just settle for burning some worlds to an uninhabitable cinder.  It\'s all part of the process of elimination. Clearing the brush. Pruning the leaves.\n\nAnd if a few other multiverses go away in the process, well, I personally don\'t give a fuck.\n\n–\n\n“Gotcha!” Jodie Landon, Lawndale County Animal Control, picked up the live trap containing the rabid squirrel that had been terrorizing the Lawndale High campus. She grinned as she hauled it back to the truck and placed it in once of the compartments. Then she grabbed the clipboard off the seat of the cab and began scribbling in the boxes on the report form.\n\nAs she filled out the form, she heard a loud clattering coming from inside the main building. Jodie looked up sharply, then down at her watch. Six PM. Way too late for anyone to be at the school, even the custodial staff. She put the clipboard back in the cab of the truck and walked to the doors. She yanked on the handle and blinked as the door practically flew open. \n\nShe grabbed the shoulder mike attached to her shirt and thumbed the button. “Dispatch, connect me to Central, please.”\n\n“This is Central.”\n\n“Central, this ACO Landon, unit 33. I\'m at Lawndale High. I heard a noise inside the main building and the front doors are unlocked. Could I get a unit out here to investigate?”\n\n“10-4, 33, unit is en route. Please stay on the scene.”\n\n“10-4, Central.”\n\nJodie peered into the foyer of the school. She knew she should stay and wait for the unit from the Sheriff\'s Office. She should secure the scene and stay at the doors in case someone came out. She knew that\'s what she should do.\n\nWhen the odd noise that sounded like something was powering up echoed down the hallway, Jodie put protocol aside and began moving slowly down the halls. Eventually the noise brought her to Mr. O\'Neill\'s old classroom. Jodie couldn\'t help but smirk. Like a lot of Lawndale High alumni, she found it endlessly amusing that O\'Neill\'s touchy-feely ways had resulted in his being dismissed on a sexual harrassment complaint by one of the new female teachers. But she still thought of the room as “Mr. O\'Neill\'s classroom.”\n\nShe peered through the window set into the door. The lights were on, there was no one to be seen. However, there was an odd tripod device sitting on top of one of the desks. The tripod was surmounted by a large convex disc. Jodie frowned. The noise was definitely coming from the disc but she couldn\'t see any power supply. \n\n[i:3es3g26f]So how the hell is that thing making any noise?\n[/i:3es3g26f]\nJodie frowned again, and decided the hell with it. She opened the door and walked in. She strode up to the device and looked it over. The roaring noise soon turned into a high pitched whine. Jodie reached out, transfixed and touched the disk. \n\nNo sooner had she done so than the top of the disc split into a series of thin wedges, like a pie. Then the wedges began folding under themselves and outward, revealing a flat glowing green circle. The whine turned into a keening wail.  Jodie winced but leaned forward over the disc, eyes widening as a aura of charged particles began appearing over the surface of the green circle.\n\n---\n\nReally, I have Archangel to thank for this. His cheap stunt with the stink bomb from hell led me to two important discoveries:\n\n1) Flashy dramatics are fun, but they can and will sometimes draw unwanted attention from undesirable parties, and...\n\n2) A long forgotten failed project those goddamn cyclopean tin cans had in their files...\n\nYou have no idea how satisfying it was to make the last of them scream. It begged me to kill it after three days.\n\nI kept it alive for WEEKS...\n\nNaturally, I scaled back the scope of the project. I have no interest in wiping out everything. I wanted something more precise. So I studied the plans and the files and eventually managed to rig it so all I needed to make it work was a dimensional nexus point and some fancy xenotech. Quick, simple, efficient, portable...\n\n...and I didn\'t have to figure out how to steal 27 planets from their orbits. \n\n\n--Erin M.','19b8f0887ef62022dd585f7e81377335',0,'IA==','3es3g26f',1,0,'',0,0,0),(460985,31934,3,785,0,'200.68.67.193',1297602864,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Greetings from my new place of residence','Why the need for a &quot;big announcement&quot;?

Her father had started to fume about that, mutter darkly about needing to discipline the girl, but Quinn doubted – [i:lbmo44ta]knew[/i:lbmo44ta] – this wasn’t an act of teenage rebellion on Daria’s part. It never would be. And she knew Daria had been targeted at lunch, even if nobody wanted to tell her over what; nothing new, but she hadn’t seen her sister since then. Quinn had assumed she’d taken refuge in the school library and just not come out. \n\nBy seven, Jake was screaming at the ceiling.\n\n“She does it again and again and AGAIN, stupid BITCH just can’t straighten up, always has TO DAMN MAKE A MESS OF THINGS-“\n\nIn the corner of the kitchen, her face tight, her mother murmured, “Jakey, I...” before catching herself. “Do you think we should call the police?” \n\n“Don’t be an IDIOT, woman! They won’t do CRAP for twenty four hours, lazy tax-grubbing BASTARDS-“ He stopped mid-rant to go to the drinks cabinet and pour himself a shot. “Just a damn gesture, that’s all it is, bitch is just trying to screw with us, after all we... DAMN IT!” He slammed the empty glass down, almost breaking it, and turned to Quinn. “Did she mention anything to you?”\n\nShe shook her head. “Nothing, Daddy.”\n\n“No, no, of course she didn’t. You’d have said. You’re a good girl, Quinn.”\n\nQuinn smiled. She felt sick. Daddy just kept comparing her to her sister, over and over, and then people at school wondered why she stuck up for such a wimp who just brought it all on herself. She couldn’t stay quiet when she [i:lbmo44ta]had[/i:lbmo44ta] the power to do something, could she? She had Daria’s back, always, even if she couldn’t actually... [i:lbmo44ta]show[/i:lbmo44ta] it.\n\nThat was the difference between them. Quinn knew the best way to survive was to fit in and be exactly what people wanted; then you were safe and could act. It was about adaptation. Her sister [i:lbmo44ta]couldn’t[/i:lbmo44ta] do that. \n\nYou only fight when you were sure to win. Her sister got that. And that preyed on Quinn’s mind as the clock ground on towards eleven and she was alone in her room: Daria wasn’t doing this as a challenge, it wasn’t in her. She wasn’t a fighter. So this had to be... this had to be her [i:lbmo44ta]giving up[/i:lbmo44ta]. And that could mean-\n\nQuinn slipped on her Walkman. Backstreet Boys, something light and thought-free. Safe.\n\n\nUntil she remembered where the Walkman was [i:lbmo44ta]from[/i:lbmo44ta].\n\nShe switched the music off and tried not to look at it.\n\n \n\n----\n\n \n\nWhen she woke up, her parents were arguing with each other. Mummy was trying to, anyway. Quinn tried not to hear.\n \n“I don’t [i:lbmo44ta]want[/i:lbmo44ta] to go to work if it means Daria might come home and-“\n\n “YOU do NOT TALK BACK to ME!!”\n\n“Jakey, please-“\n\n“If she comes back and sees you waiting to her, it will [i:lbmo44ta]encourage[/i:lbmo44ta] her to do this [i:lbmo44ta]again.[/i:lbmo44ta] No, let her sweat it out.”\n\nShe let it wash over her as she ate her breakfast. It wouldn’t help Mummy if she backed her, nor would it help Daria. It would certainly hurt [i:lbmo44ta]her[/i:lbmo44ta]. Pick the fights you can win. \n\nWhen she grabbed her stuff for school, she looked at the Walkman, hesitated, and took it with her. She [i:lbmo44ta]needed[/i:lbmo44ta] the music for the walk to school. \n\nThe twenty minutes passed in a blur of cheery beats and forgettable lyrics and no thought, and she kept this going when she was in school, and had no idea anyone was talking to her until she was tapped on the shoulder. She spun round, startled and hoping, but it was only her friend Sandi, looking irritated.\n\n“Oh.” She pulled the headphones out. “Hi, sorry, didn’t hear you there – well, [i:lbmo44ta]obviously[/i:lbmo44ta]...”\n\n“Qu[i:lbmo44ta]inn[/i:lbmo44ta], what exactly [i:lbmo44ta]is[/i:lbmo44ta] that? I thought it [i:lbmo44ta]might[/i:lbmo44ta] be a Walkman, but a [i:lbmo44ta]Vice-President[/i:lbmo44ta] of the [i:lbmo44ta]Fashion[/i:lbmo44ta] Club, having such a drab and uncustomised-“\n\n“Not in the mood, Sandi!” she snapped. Then, with her friend looking affronted, she realised what she’d done. “Sorry, Sandi. I’m... It’s not a good time right now.”\n\nThe girl usually pounced on such weaknesses, using them as fodder for social barbs, but this time she just looked concerned. “Are you okay?”\n\n“Thanks for asking, Sandi, but don’t worry, I’ll be [i:lbmo44ta]fine![/i:lbmo44ta] I just need to get into my groove or whatever it’s called.”\n\n“As long as you do it sweet-toot, Quinn,” she replied, agreeing to keep the pretence going. “We don’t want you becoming your sis-“ Her eyes widened, then she recovered. “Shall we see if Tori has any useful, like, intelligence for us?”\n\n“Oh Sandi, Tori’s [i:lbmo44ta]always[/i:lbmo44ta] got intelligence,” said Quinn, exchange tell-tale smirks with her friend.\n\n \n\n----\n\n \n\nDrama class was first, and that always went well – even O’Neill couldn’t mess up her chance to strut her stuff and hook the guys with her performance, and the escape was welcome. Sandi kept up a barrage of subtle barbs about Quinn’s performance, which helped keep her calm. (And hell, she knew she had Titania [i:lbmo44ta]down[/i:lbmo44ta], stupid name and all) Spanish was next, and who paid attention to language classes anyway? She got to chat away in quiet with her friends, simple.\n\nAnd then, as they left class, they overheard Brooke talking to one of the Jennifers:\n\n“...says it all, doesn’t it? Daria Morbid writing stories where she’s special and everyone loves her, gotta be easier than actually [i:lbmo44ta]being[/i:lbmo44ta] lovea-“\n\nBrooke had noticed Quinn and looked guilty, clearly about to apologise for getting caught, and then she was reeling and falling into Jennifer, and Quinn was wondering why her hand stung so badly and why everyone was looking at her.\n\n“Q-Quinn?” Stacy, sounding scared; a hand on her shoulder, light, like it was scared of being torn off. “C-C-Come on, that’s e-enough. B-Brooke didn’t-“\n\n“Yes she did.”\n\nThe next hand was Sandi’s, muttering “let’s, like, take a break”, and Quinn allowed herself to be led away. She could hear whispering behind her, and a few sobs from Brooke (and Quinn felt a rush of savage triumph over [i:lbmo44ta]that[/i:lbmo44ta]). Now she knew what had been the catalyst for Daria leaving. Someone had found one of her stories – her most precious things, hidden for fear of losing them – and used it to further beat her down, stamping on the exposed heart.\n\nShe couldn’t stand against something like [i:lbmo44ta]that[/i:lbmo44ta]. \n\nThe Fashion Club got her outside, and she slumped against the wall. Nobody said anything.\n\nFinally, she admitted to it: “Daria’s gone missing.” She heard Stacy gasp but ignored it. “We don’t know where to and we [i:lbmo44ta]didn’t[/i:lbmo44ta] know why, but Brooke seems to have...” Her voice dropped away and she turned to them, horrified. “Did you [i:lbmo44ta]know?[/i:lbmo44ta]”\n\n“Quinn, we don’t know what you me-“\n\n“Bullcrap! [i:lbmo44ta]Did you know?![/i:lbmo44ta]” \n\nSandi shifted slightly, positioning herself between Quinn and the other two girls. Then she said: “We heard.”\n\n“And you [i:lbmo44ta]didn’t think to TELL ME?![/i:lbmo44ta]”\n\n“Quinn, a lot of things happen to your sister that we don’t tell you about and you [i:lbmo44ta]know[/i:lbmo44ta] that,” snapped Sandi. “We knew you... We knew you knew you couldn’t fight every battle, and if you knew about them all you’d... feel bad that you couldn’t.”\n\n“You really think I-“ Quinn stopped speaking, a dull pit opening in her guts. “Of course you do. I [i:lbmo44ta]am[/i:lbmo44ta] the sort of girl who’d let things like that happen. God DAMN IT.”\n\nThe Fashion Club looked to each other, for anyone who could give guidance, and finally Stacy spoke up: “It’s nothing [i:lbmo44ta]bad[/i:lbmo44ta], Quinn – nobody else would do any different, and, and you do [i:lbmo44ta]more[/i:lbmo44ta] than some people-“\n\n“You can fight the battles you can win,” said Quinn dully. “Well, I did and look where that got my sister.”\n\nShe let herself fall slowly to the floor, and took out her Walkman again. She wanted something to take her mind off it. And she wanted to [i:lbmo44ta]rub her face[/i:lbmo44ta] in her failure. Was that why she’d brought it to school, really? \n\n“Can you give me a few minutes alone, guys?”\n\n“Sure, Quinn. Sure.” \n\nDecorators were coming in to redo Daria’s room today. God, she couldn’t stand seeing that now.\n\n“And... Sandi, can I stay round your place tonight?”\n\n“O-Of course.” \n\n\n---\n\nA lot of people were walking on eggshells around her, people who’d always been perfectly – [i:lbmo44ta]eagerly[/i:lbmo44ta] – friendly before. It was interesting to see who out of her friends actually [i:lbmo44ta]were[/i:lbmo44ta] friends. Jodie had come over to ask if she was okay, but Jodie was like that. Brittany did the same, and that girl Cindy, and Skylar. The Three J’s were actually [i:lbmo44ta]unified[/i:lbmo44ta], asking if there was anything they could do (she turned them down).  \n \n[i:lbmo44ta]Tori Jericho[/i:lbmo44ta] was one of the surprises, and Tananda, because Quinn had been sure either of them would’ve gone for her weakness. And she knew both had poked at Daria for a laugh before. [i:lbmo44ta]Kevin[/i:lbmo44ta], of all people, did it too, and that set her off:\n \n“If you’re so bothered about if people are [i:lbmo44ta]okay[/i:lbmo44ta], why didn’t you leave my sister alone?”\n\nKevin actually looked shocked, then ashamed; he’d mumbled “everyone else did it”, confused that something everyone was doing could be harmful. She just walked away.\n \nShe could feel the Walkman in her bag, a spectre at the feast; she held off listening, not in school. For a start, she wasn’t sure how good the batteries still were and it’d be too ironic if it died on her, she couldn’t face that.\n \nWhen school ended, she paged both parents so they’d know she was at Sandi’s. She knew her mother wouldn’t mind, but if Daddy did... well, she wasn’t sure then.   \n\nOn the way over, Sandi asked, casually: “What is it with that Walkman anyway?”\n\n“It [i:lbmo44ta]was[/i:lbmo44ta] Daria’s.” Quinn took a deep breath. “She used to listen to it whenever she wasn’t reading, sometimes when she was. She didn’t have that many tapes, she had to borrow some of mine, but… I dunno. It seemed to keep her calm. She really loved that Walkman.\n\n“Wh-When she was g-g-going to—“ Deep breath. “When she was going to Buxton Ridge, she gave it to me. To look after it for her. And when she came back…”\n\nShe was starting to cry. Hell with it.\n\n“When she came back, sh-she couldn’t get it b-b-back because of h-how angry D-D-Daddy was, and and she asked me to keep h-hold of it and [i:lbmo44ta]if she’d been at school today I’d have given it back-[/i:lbmo44ta]”\n\nHer pager went off, cutting through the moment like a knife. It was her father. \n\n“I’ve got to go home,” she whispered, furiously rubbing at the tears to get rid of the evidence. “Th-Thanks, but-“\n\nSandi hugged her, then stepped back, looking embarrassed that she did it. “See you at school, I guess.”\n\n“See you. Thanks.”\n\n\n----\n\n\nThe decorators were taking Daria’s room apart. A few days, and it’d look normal – the thing Daria didn’t want, but Daddy did. Without the girl to live in it, however, it would [i:lbmo44ta]never[/i:lbmo44ta] be normal.\n\nDaddy looked ready to explode, looked [i:lbmo44ta]angry[/i:lbmo44ta], like he’d been snubbed or cheated. He wasn’t talking about Daria, and that was somehow worse than the screaming fits. Quinn had to ask Mummy in [i:lbmo44ta]private[/i:lbmo44ta] whether the disappearance had been reported – it had. \n\nQuinn didn’t contact the police with what she knew. Not yet. Not… well, if there was a chance, she [i:lbmo44ta]couldn’t[/i:lbmo44ta] mention that Daria was still writing, not when she knew how angry her father would get.\n\nShe kept thinking of that at night, wanting to play the Walkman, wanting the music, not daring touch the thing anymore. Or look at it. \n\n[i:lbmo44ta]If our situations were reversed, would you have fought for me, even if you couldn’t win? Would you have done that? Does it really matter?\n\nWhere[/i:lbmo44ta] are [i:lbmo44ta]you?[/i:lbmo44ta]\n\n\n---\n\n\nNext morning was more of the same. It should be the last day before the weekend, but that would hold no respite: the decorators would be working over the weekend. Daria would still be gone. Her mother would still look like she was already dead.\n\nShe didn’t want to take the Walkman but she had to. Just in case Daria was at school, by some freak miracle, she wanted to be able to grab her and say: look! I kept it safe for you, it’s here and you can have it again, I will back you up. I can fight. \n\nShe thought she could fight.\n\nThat weird guy Bob wandered over to her before the start of school, asking if Daria was okay; he’d turned out to be in some of Daria’s classes and she’d eaten at his table at lunch, and he’d noticed her absence. Quinn told him, and he left condolences. Brittany had also asked, having picked up Daria’s absence for the same reasons. The Three J’s still wanted to know if she was okay.  \n\nSandi, Stacy, and Tiffany were probably going to be the only ones who weren’t going to ask anything like that. They didn’t have to.\n\n[i:lbmo44ta]Oh hell, the teachers will know Daria’s missing. If I skip Mr O’Neill’s classes, will he dare complain about it? Because I can’t face that now, I can’t.[/i:lbmo44ta]\n\n“Quinn Morgendorffer?”\n\nShe turned, checking out this new girl: skinny, raven-haired, red jacket and boots Daria would have liked. She didn’t recognise her. Some random well-wisher, probably.\n\n“No, we haven’t had any news, but thanks for-“\n\n“I [i:lbmo44ta]do[/i:lbmo44ta]. But I need you to come with me.”\n\nQuinn blinked, the words taking a while to sink in. Her first instinct: it was a trick. Some raggedy stranger, claiming they knew something and to come with them to where no witnesses were? Yeah right.\n\n“You [i:lbmo44ta]sick freak[/i:lbmo44ta], you actually-“\n\n“We were in self-esteem class together.” The stranger nodded, and Quinn knew she’d let her shock register. “Yeah, it’s not common knowledge, right? So there we go. I need you to come with me.”\n\nShe unclenched her jaw. “Why?”\n\n“Because…” The stranger looked around, and then whispered: “Because my brother found her and she’s at our house right now.”','e1db8ae799cdb875eb563f1bd5a6196c',0,'YQ==','lbmo44ta',1,1300132869,'',1108,2,0),(461050,31841,6,59,0,'98.214.72.176',1297654735,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Worldburner: Vipande Chu Uharibifu (Part 2)','[quote=&quot;Charles RB&quot;:18s4fhmr][quote=&quot;Erin M.&quot;:18s4fhmr]...and I didn\'t have to figure out how to steal 27 planets from their orbits. \n[/quote:18s4fhmr]\n\n\n....oh.\n\nOh SHIT. \n\n[b:18s4fhmr]SOMEONE FIND THE DOCTOR\'S NUMBER PLEASE[/b:18s4fhmr]  <!-- s:( --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif\" alt=\":(\" title=\"Sad\" /><!-- s:( -->[/quote:18s4fhmr]\n\n\nWait for it...','228c8c2b522b9499ada391800468ccff',0,'wA==','18s4fhmr',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461051,31933,6,1204,0,'75.20.166.171',1297654898,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Crossover (Anyone Done This?): Daria/The Question Fusion','[quote=&quot;Charles RB&quot;:ugx3hyxd]No one\'s done Daria as the Question - but you clearly should!

Everything I understand about the show and characters, I get from the fanfic here, so I\'m not sure how close the tone would be to canon.  I know it would be close to any number of fics I\'ve read ...\n\n On a related note, how essential is Tom to Daria\'s positive character development?  Could another character/group of characters push her in the same positive direction (e.g.: actually being able to date someone without feeling she\'s &quot;compromising&quot; herself)?  I think it is very possible (see, e.g.: &quot;Apocalyptic Daria&quot;).\n\nI don\'t hate Tom, but I do have significant stylistic/writer-type objections to his presence, and would do my best to minimize his presence/cut him out of this universe entirely -- or just have he and Jane fizzle out on their own and that be the end of it.  As a character he seems to have been thrown in solely as a wrench to screw with Daria and Jane for teh drammaz, with the series\' main conceit (the Daria/Jane friendship) making it implicitly clear that whatever damage was done to the girls\' relationship would be temporary; if it wasn\'t, the show would cease to be Daria as we know it.  It\'s like killing Superman.  Everyone knows you\'ll bring him back and you\'re just trying to pull a sweeps stunt.  That and I have trouble Daria would go along with Jane\'s boyfriend latching onto her face, even if she was totally upfront with Jane about it afterwards.  That she would date someone who demonstrated to (in, on) her face his capacity to cheat on his girlfriend at without warning is even more bizarre.  The only way I can rationalize it is thinking Daria is just totally, completely unaware of how to deal with romantic relationships, which makes some sense if you consider Jake and Hellen are her primary role models in that department.  Even if that\'s the case, though, she\'s not completely socially dysfunctional, and I can\'t figure out why she didn\'t punch him in the face on general principle.  I will also admit to having a strong aversion to love triangles used as a temporary drama gimmick.\n\nEh, sorry.  Got a bit carried away there...\n\n(And yes, I would say the same things even if I wasn\'t a Daria/Jane shipper.  I also enjoy Daria/Stacy fic and other pairings with Jane or Daria, gay or straight.

(This is, of course, a \'tradition\' recently fabricated by the importers of chocolate, but don\'t mind that for the moment.) The gifts are nominally a token of affection, which puts women, particularly young working women, into a bit of a bind. If they don\'t give their bosses and co-workers chocolate on Valentine\'s Day, that says that they don\'t like them, and working with someone whom you have said you don\'t like is awkward. On the other hand, if they do give their bosses and co-worker\'s chocolate on Valentine\'s Day that can readily give all too strong an impression of affection, which can get really awkward. The geniuses of Japanese marketing have solved this problem by producing giri choco — obligation chocolate. A gift of giri-choco is clearly marked as a conventional gift: there can be no mistake about the fact that it is being given because it is that time of year, not because the woman actually holds the man in any particular affection.\n...\nI love my family, and my favourite thing to do is to lounge for hours around a table crammed with delicious food, chatting, grazing, and drinking. We did it a week ago because my cousin Chris and his wife were in the country, and it was wonderful. But there is a lot more love and thoughtfulness in &quot;can you come to dinner on Friday&quot; than &quot;where are we going to hold Christmas dinner this year? Will you make the mince pies?&quot;\n\nNot being a Christian I am not bothered that the religious meaning of Christmas has been lost or swamped.

That\'s ... about what I thought he did, actually.  I don\'t see why another character/event can\'t do that.  A trauma sufficient enough to push her into costumed crime-fighting would force her out of her shell by default, or at least set her on the path. Someone as messed up as Daria trying to fix herself with a romantic relationship is actually pretty unhealthy in and of itself, IMHO.  A romantic relationship premised on the idea that one party can/must fix the other is ... well, those end badly, if you\'re lucky.  They only tend to work out well on sitcom TV, where Status Quo is God.\n\nJane could probably have a bigger influence in helping Daria out of her shell, as Jane is much more well adjusted, even if she\'s still pretty far off the bell curve of normalcy, but again, given the nature of their relationship (platonic or romantic) one trying to &quot;fix&quot; the other at that stage would likely end badly.

Despite Helen\'s protests, Jake asked Jane to bring Daria to her brother\'s house to get some sleep.  Jane thanked Dr. Phillips and Jake and gave them the phone number.  Jane led her to the car and called Trent.  He was waiting for them on the front porch.  Pulling both women into a fierce hug, he gave them each a small kiss on the forehead.  As Daria and Jane headed for the kitchen, Trent took their luggage upstairs.  When he returned, Trent joined them for a slice of the pizza he had ordered right after Jane called him.  Daria was only able to eat one slice before she headed for Jane\'s old room.  Concerned, Jane watched as her wife walked slowly up the stairs.\n\n&quot;How are Cleo and Quinn?&quot;  Trent asked.\n\n&quot;Quinn\'s in ICU and Cleo has a broken arm and leg.

Love is not only all around, it is generally best and strongest when spontaneous.  &quot;A watched pot of water never boils,&quot; and all that.  IMHO, Daria trying to prove to herself she is capable of romance, even subconsciously, is a sign of a not-quite healthy person.  Most people don\'t think they are incapable of it unless they\'ve got some larger problem.  At least, you\'re not supposed to.\n\nAllowing herself to have a relationship with Tom, who cheated on Jane with Daria herself, comes off to me as some sort of very unhealthy desperation move I can\'t readily define because I\'m still goggling at it, honestly.

In fact, if Jane/Daria is eventually going to happen, it would be quite dangerous and unwise for Jane to try to influence Daria in how to behave romantically.  I\'d say the same thing, for instance, if Tom had given Daria relationship advice before dumping Jane and hooking up with Daria herself.  That\'s trying to mold your future romantic interest, which is a doubleplus ungood idea.\n\nMore generally: I was speaking more of the fact that a Daria who is more self-aware and willing to self-criticize, as Q!Daria would have to be to even become a vigilante (because canon Daria is too tied up in herself to be (and survive being) a superhero), would be more open to advice generally from others.  Jane would feel less like she needed to hold her tongue lest she set Daria off, and Daria would be more willing to admit to things she wasn\'t comfortable facing up to.  Jane IS Daria\'s best friend, and even a more receptive Daria in general is more likely to take such criticism to heart if it comes from her Jane than anyone else.\n\nJane Lane should not give ANYONE advice on how to succeed at relationships, either romantic or familial.  Her dating history and relationship with all the Lanes save Trent can be mostly summed up as &quot;Yes, see all that?  [i:12dllhcw]Don\'t do any of those things.[/i:12dllhcw]&quot;  Her relationship with Trent seems to have lasted in part because it had to, because neither of them had anyone else, and they had to make it work or die.

Especially given how flaky Jake can be, as much as he genuinely loves Daria.  Anthony\'s a psychotic, but he\'s at least there, and understands what\'s going on in her life, and supportive.  He\'s also a military vet, so Daria being seen as rejecting Jake in his favor could really mess with Jake\'s head.  It is fortunate Daria has no intention of doing this, and actually comes to loathe her grandfather quite a bit once she\'s forced to really come to terms with the fact that Jake\'s not just a well-meaning goober, but rather someone who\'s father emotionally abused him quite thoroughly.

The slower boy blinked in confusion for several seconds before realization struck him and he put his hands over his burning ears to cover up the almost-glowing shade of red that they had become.\n\nQuinn smiled gently at the three boys, the most ardent of her admirers and her general go-to guys for favors, gifts, and the like.  Right after English class had ended, they had descended upon her in the hall to apologize for missing her earlier that morning and to launch into their usual fawning spiel.  It had been almost amusing to her to see how long it would take them to notice that their redheaded goddess was standing before them completely in the buff.\n\nTapping her fingers on her books, she considered actually handing them over but finally figured that the almost catatonic shock the boys were experiencing would leave them fairly useless in the item management department.\n\n[i:3aw3m7y2]Maybe I\'ll take it easy on the poor boys.

Most were still just those from Mr. O\'Neill\'s class, but the effect seemed to be spreading further as those people started talking to other people with a bustling excitement usually reserved for the next big football game.  Every once in a while, the girls would look over to see one or more other students stripping down and stuffing their doffed belongings in their lockers.\n\nBut despite these definite signs that their plan was going even better than they could have expected, one of their number still had some reservations.  Quinn looked over to see Stacy glancing upward furtively from time to time, a look of hesitant panic threatening to overtake her features.\n\n&quot;Something wrong?&quot;\n\nThe braided girl jumped a little then said, &quot;Oh!  Yes!  I mean, no!  I mean, I don\'t know?  I was just thinking . . . doesn\'t Ms. Li have this entire building covered with surveillance cameras or something?  What if she\'s seen us?

They were both glad that there were sidewalks all the way from Lawndale High School to Glen Oaks and beyond; traffic could be murderous.\n\n&quot;So, did you get a Valentine\'s card?&quot; Jane asked.\n\n&quot;Valentines, Schmalentines,&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;Okay.

They were both involved in their own mutual society and didn\'t notice the out-of-control car behind them.  The drunkard who was driving it swerved into the other lane, brought his Lincoln Continental over the curb and managed to clip Jane in the back with the left front fender.  The impact - the car was going at 60 miles per hour - picked up Jane and knocked her body into a utility pole.  Daria, standing just three feet away, barely avoided becoming a victim.\n\nThe driver regained control of the car and brought it back onto the road.  By the time Daria picked herself up from the ground, he was driving off, a clear hit-and-run if there ever was one.\n\n&quot;Jane...?  Jane?!?&quot;\n\nDaria noticed the crumpled form in the red jacket next to the light pole with the gash in her skull.  &quot;JANE!!&quot;\n\nDaria ran over to her fallen friend.  She searched for her cell phone.  &quot;Dammit!  GOD-DAMMIT!!&quot; she cried, throwing the cell phone down.  It had lost its charge.\n\n&quot;Mmm....&quot; Jane said, her eyes fluttering.  &quot;C-can\'t....&quot;\n\n&quot;Jane, for God\'s sake don\'t move!  I\'ll get a doctor!&quot;\n\n&quot;..f-ffeeel....funnny....&quot;\n\nDaria choked when she heard those words.  [i:gbpgx74u]My God.  Is she paralyzed?

What am I supposed to do without her?[/i:gbpgx74u]\n\nDaria looked up and down the street frantically, hoping to flag down a passing auto...but there were none visible.  Desperate, Daria cried out.  &quot;Help!  HELP!  THERE\'S BEEN AN ACCIDENT!&quot;\n\nShe looked back over to Jane...[i:gbpgx74u]who was now on fire[/i:gbpgx74u]!  &quot;No!&quot; Daria screamed, and took off her jacket, whipping the sparks and flames coming from Jane in the hopes of extinguishing them.\n\n&quot;D--dd----&quot; was the only sound coming from Jane.\n\n&quot;Jane!  You\'re on fire! I\'m trying -- !&quot;\n\n&quot;--s---ss----&quot;\n\n&quot;--I\'m trying to [i:gbpgx74u]put it out[/i:gbpgx74u].

She was now no longer on fire, and had grabbed Daria\'s jacket, tugging at it with her hand.  &quot;That was more painful than the accident!  And why isn\'t your cell phone charged?  How many times do I have to tell you to charge your cell phone!&quot;\n\nJane - miraculously - stood up.  The gash in her skull was gone.  Jane was starting to move like she was waking up from a restful sleep.  \n\nIt was then that Daria saw Jane\'s face.  [i:gbpgx74u]It wasn\'t Jane[/i:gbpgx74u].  It was some other girl\'s face!  Red-brown hair, cut short.  Freckles.  Wide green eyes, slightly darker complexion.  And one inch shorter.

I appear to be suffering from some short term memory loss.  Daria, run interference for me and don\'t let anyone ask stupid questions.&quot;\n\n&quot;Jane,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;Before you decide to blow this off like nothing ever happened, you seriously need to find a mirror.&quot;\n\n&quot;Why?  Nothing seems to be broken.  I feel fine.&quot;\n\n&quot;Uh...I think your face has been...you\'ve [i:gbpgx74u]transformed[/i:gbpgx74u].&quot;\n\n&quot;Transformed?&quot; Jane/not Jane said haughtily.  &quot;Daria, you\'re not making any sense here?

At least I didn\'t think Kanye\'s behavior there represented blacks, I just thought he was just being another (to quote Obama) jackass.','69ab0c1bff041e37db192f4ef19e96a8',0,'oA==','146chs37',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461145,31919,3,1149,0,'188.2.64.49',1297710613,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The Completely Random Post Thread: Common Cold Edition','Since I\'m bored and crave attention, here\'s a ballpoint pen drawing I did (it\'s not that great)\n[img:1w0wk4g7]http&#58;//i55&#46;tinypic&#46;com/nmcoe1&#46;jpg[/img:1w0wk4g7]','60bec5eaacde6322f04cac89463113b3',0,'CA==','1w0wk4g7',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461146,31935,6,1097,0,'113.212.172.170',1297710652,1,0,1,0,1,1,'','Re: The Latest Fashion (2/12/11)','[quote=&quot;Wassersauefer&quot;:2ermfsb9][quote=&quot;J-D&quot;:2ermfsb9][quote=&quot;Jim North&quot;:2ermfsb9]&quot;There\'s probably some kind of anti-nakedness law,&quot; Quinn added.[/quote:2ermfsb9]Some kind.

And didn\'t realise Jane wasn\'t being truthful when she said that...[/quote:3svmb31v]\n\nI\'ve read with interest discussion re: if Daria has autism or Asperger\'s, and while I don\'t know enough to have an educated opinion (though Asperger\'s certainly seems plausible), she has something missing when it comes to interpersonal relationships generally.  Likely in large part because Helen and Jake, as much as they love each other, are not a great model most of the time.  Early!series Quinn goes through boys like PEZ and uses them as disposable tools.  That\'s not helpful either.  Whatever the cause, the common sense that told us right off that Jane was NOT happy about Daria dating Tom, and that Jane REALLY didn\'t want it to happen, is not present in Daria.  As smart as Daria is, reverse-psychology/passive-aggressive relationship advice is unlikely to do anything but explode epically -- as the Tom situation demonstrated.\n\nI\'m really enjoying this discussion because it\'s made me really examine what I don\'t like about Tom and Daria as a couple, and most of it boils down to Tom as a person.  It all comes back to the fact that he cheated on Jane with Daria, ostensibly to get Daria.   Having this as an antecedent just blows it for me.  (Yes, they only kissed, but it was as un-platonic as you can get, and it\'s the thought that counts. [i:3svmb31v]You aren\'t supposed to do that[/i:3svmb31v].  If he\'s willing to behave that way under those circumstances, what else might he be capable of/how does he really view those he\'s in relationships with?)\n\nTHIS is the kind of individual that Daria ends up with for her first great &quot;find yourself/expand your perceptions&quot; high school romance?  REALLY?  There was NOBODY else?  Daria deserves a better class of person as even a temporary love interest.  Even Upchuck would be (creepily) respectful of a relationship, in his perverted way.  Jane deserves not to have to go through everything SHE did: Daria should not have tolerated Tom\'s behavior towards Jane even IF she was attracted to him.  I just can\'t help feeling Tom and Daria\'s relationship should have sputtered and died mere seconds after the kiss, because as screwed up as Daria\'s view of relationships is, Daria (at least the one in my head) knows that Tom\'s behavior was unacceptable.  Why else would she &quot;confess&quot; to Jane afterwards?\n\n[quote:3svmb31v][quote=&quot;Lord Yellowtail&quot;:3svmb31v]Especially given how flaky Jake can be, as much as he genuinely loves Daria.  Anthony\'s a psychotic, but he\'s at least there, and understands what\'s going on in her life, and supportive.  He\'s also a military vet, so Daria being seen as rejecting Jake in his favor could really mess with Jake\'s head.

Muse has gotten noisy.\n\nI like Jake too much to let him suffer too terribly for too long, but it\'s definitely an issue that would come up.  Because Daria wouldn\'t tell her parents or Quinn what she was actually doing, and so all Jake sees is Daria spending an inordinate amount of time under the wing of a much more together, aggressive, manlier man who is a military veteran, and less time at home.  I think Daria would eventually have to let him in on the secret to keep him from losing his marbles over it.  Barring that, someone would need to point out to Daria what was going on with Jake, as Daria may have the potential to be a great Sherlock Holmes* style detective, but her interpersonal skills blow.  Once she knew what was going on, I think she would (clumsily) try to take measures to shore up her relationship with her father.  At the very least, it wouldn\'t hurt her to express her contempt for the military in general and Mad Dog Mogendorffer in particular.\n\nDaria telling Hellen is categorically out.  She\'s not a bad mom, and she genuinely loves her children, but she\'s not really a very good one either, most of the time, and her style of parenting tends to operate in broad strokes rather than fine details, barring emergency.  She\'s no Joyce Summers.  Daria wouldn\'t want her to know, and beyond that, there are umpteen reasons not to tell a lawyer you\'ve decided to become a vigilante.  Not the least of which is that the Rules of Professional Conduct would bindingly obligate Hellen to turn her in, and Hellen\'s career obsessed enough that would be a potential problem.\n\nI should not even need to explain the myriad reasons telling Quinn is not an option, either. <!-- s:P --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif\" alt=\":P\" title=\"Razz\" /><!-- s:P -->\n\n* Sherlock Holmes sucked at interpersonal relationships, too, come to think of it.

But Daria does not have Asperger\'s.  I have a co-worker who actually honestly and truly does have it.  He\'s a nice guy, and I go to lunch with him and a few others quite frequently, but his behavior is... well, obvious.  The guy can not read the atmosphere to save his life.  Not saying I\'m a genius in this, but for him it goes way beyond being slow about picking up hints.  He just can\'t do it, even when people quite bluntly point it out to him (he never takes offense at it, but it never seems to actually [i:17winb4f]help[/i:17winb4f], either).  He\'s got his obsessions that he\'ll go on and on about even when people are literally telling him to just shut up about it already.

There\'s a lot of other little things, but they build up, and if you\'ve ever met someone who actually does have it, it\'s pretty obvious.  Daria doesn\'t have it.\n\nDaria\'s problem is different.  She\'s smart, low-energy, and introverted.  Her parents, for all that her mother is a lawyer, were hard-core hippies who lived in communes and tried to levitate the Pentagon (before she was born, at least).  They\'ll pay lip-service to smart being good, but the other two traits aren\'t going to be treated favorably.  Any praise for the first will be mixed in with a lot of back-handed compliments and mixed messages and the occasional out-right hostility.  She\'s got a supremely extroverted, outgoing, energetic sister whom she\'s been constantly compared to.  She wasn\'t much older than one year old when this little bundle of energy came in to her life.  I can tell you what happened next: all the attention went to the little sister, who almost certainly needed it to keep her from doing things like crawling down stairs or trying to climb the shelves.  Daria would have be very self-sufficient by comparison, so the attention is naturally going to go to Quinn, who needs it.\nAll this means that Daria is going to grow up socially awkward.  It\'s not a matter of being unable to do it, as it is with Autism (including Asperger\'s), but simply not practicing it.  She saw how Quinn sucked up all available attention, didn\'t like it, and probably internalized the idea that you had to act like Quinn to be popular and social.  Which pretty directly leads her to building walls around herself and keeping everyone at a distance.  She\'s going to suck at interpersonal relationships because, before Jane, her closest non-family relationship was probably her informal experiments on Beavis and Butthead.  We never get anything in canon to suggest she ever had another actual friend.  How could she possibly know anything about handling relationships after this?  Of course she\'ll be bad at it, but Asperger\'s has nothing to do with it.\n\nThere\'s an exchange in the first volume of Fruits Basket that sums things up:\n[quote:17winb4f]Shigure: If you\'re going to beat yourself up about it afterward, perhaps you should consider not yelling at her in the first place, hm?  Just a thought.\nKyo: I can\'t help it.  I\'m not made for interacting with people.\nShigure: People aren\'t born social.  Sure it comes easier to some people, but most people, like yourself, need to work at it.  Some more than others.  You\'re just inexperienced.  For example, as a marital artist, you have the strength to break the table with your fist.  But you also have the [i:17winb4f]self-control[/i:17winb4f] to stop your fist right before it hits the table.  You weren\'t born with that control, were you?  You had to refine it.  That\'s the result of fighting bears in the mountains.\nKyo: I didn\'t fight bears!\nShigure: You\'re missing my point.  It\'s the same as interacting with people.  But training for that isn\'t in the mountains.  It has to be in town where people live.  Mingling with people, hurting them, getting hurt by them... that\'s how you learn about others, and about yourself.  If you don\'t, you\'ll never be able to care about anyone but yourself.  You may be a black belt fighter, but you\'re still a while belt in dealing with people.  So for the sake of the girl who will one day tell you she loves you don\'t keep running away.  Keep training.\nKyo: As if someone would ever tell me that.\nShigure: And if someone did, what would you do?\nKyo: I can\'t even imagine.  I guess...

Of course she\'ll be bad at it, but Asperger\'s has nothing to do with it.[/quote:6o6yen7e]\n\nThat is an excellent analysis of why Daria\'s the way she is, and one I readily agree with.  Indeed, it parallels many of my own thoughts on the matter.  Like I said, I don\'t know enough about Asperger\'s or autism to diagnose them (and having been misdiagnosed with various things before, I would not do this), but I have seen them bandied about as explanations for Daria\'s behavior, and it did get me thinking about why Daria\'s the way she is.  Your explanation for why she doesn\'t have it makes sense.\n\n(I am, coincidentally, more familiar with bipolar disorder, as one of my friends from high school has it.  It is, unfortunately, another disorder not often accurately portrayed in fiction.)\n\nPersonally, I\'ve never been very eager to apply some sort of mental health condition to Daria.  There\'s no reason to think anything\'s medically wrong with her.  Like you, I tend to think she\'s a result of rather terrible, but not ill-intended, parenting.  I think that\'s one thing that can make Jake and Helen so frustrating.  They genuinely love both their children, and don\'t seem to act with any actual malice.  They\'re just [i:6o6yen7e]bad[/i:6o6yen7e] at it in certain ways that have left both their children messed up in very different ways.  Helen, for example, is capable of being an able, good parent, but only when she\'s let the situation degrade into a total crisis, and as you say, during normal circumstances the best you can hope for is that she\'ll at least be neutral.  Boxing Daria seems to suggest she\'s able to get over this and accept Daria for who and what she is, but again, it takes Daria having an actual serious crisis (a mini-breakdown) for her to do this, and we don\'t know how long it\'ll be before she slides back into the old pattern.\n\nI don\'t think Helen is evil at all.  I\'m just not as sympathetic as a lot of people are, because I am very aware of parents unique position and ability to ruin their children\'s psyches if they aren\'t careful.  Which is kind of what happened here, as you say.  I\'m more lenient with Jake, who comes up short in his own way but is so emotionally screwed up from his dealings with his father you can almost view his hands-off approach as a (subconscious?) attempt not to become Mad Dog and screw up his children.\n\nI have NO idea why Helen or Jake tolerate Quinn\'s behavior.  Letting Quinn systematically emotionally attack Daria is unacceptable (the cousin thing, using Daria\'s clothing as an example of non-fashionability, etc.).  I think this is in part because disciplining Quinn\'s systematic treatment of Daria would mean facing up to their own less-than-good treatment of Daria.  I\'m not saying she\'s evil or malevolent, just ... she lords her status within the family over Daria in a very unhelpful way.  Maybe you could call it a very passive-aggressive form of favoritism on their parents\' part?  It worries me because, in a realistic scenario, Quinn is not really equipped to deal with the real world, which does not revolve around fashion as a master social classifying element.  Her views of other people and their worth compared to her are horribly skewed for most of the series, and  I tend to think the necessary reality check to get her over that would be rather unpleasant, and not just stop at having her admit that she is, in fact, intelligent.  It should not be easy to rehabilitate such a deeply flawed character.  I often read wonderful fic with a much more mature Quinn, and enjoy her, but wonder what happened that made her finally snap out of it.\n\n <!-- s:? --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif\" alt=\":?\" title=\"Confused\" /><!-- s:? --> The more I think about Daria and her family, the more I realize just how dysfunctional it is ... Daria\'s lucky to be as socially capable as she is, under the circumstances.  Jane\'s probably in the better position, in spite of the fact she\'s a poster child for DCFS intervention.  Yes, she has (or should have) serious abandonment issues, but she is able to relate to others pretty well thanks to a relatively healthy, loving bond with Trent, especially.  Her other family, when around, is loving and supportive, if not extremely looped.','157c3db52a5d14709fbbc6da1050704f',0,'oA==','6o6yen7e',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461210,31946,3,94,0,'75.77.148.170',1297736446,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: One of the truly great innovations of our time.','I\'ve used bacon flavored toothpicks.

And Jake?”\n“The girls are….coping, as best they can. Jake is still in Green Bay. Damned blizzard just won’t let up.”\nEric gently took one of Helen’s hands in his own. “Helen, I want you to know that you and your family are not alone in all of this. If you need anything –anything at all- just ask.”\nHelen smiled and found, to her surprise, that she was holding Eric’s hand as tight as he held hers.\n\nCharles walked slowly down the sidewalk, looking for anything that might be a sign of what happened the night Daria was attacked. On either side of the road, the sidewalk was lined with thick underbrush and trees. Charles had walked this road several times since the day he was accused, but this time he had a feeling he knew what he would find.\n[i:1rgtztk6]Ah-ha![/i:1rgtztk6] There, in the underbrush, was a hedge that had been trampled underfoot. Proceeding into the small woods, he only made it a few dozen feet before he tripped and landed hard on something that gave way beneath him. With a scream of terror, he ran back to the street to flag down the next passing cop car.\n\nDaria was still sitting on the couch. She had been informed that she was suspended from school; standard procedure whenever a student was involved in a physical altercation. Kevin, however, had been expelled for sexual assault. Daria’s precense hadn’t even been needed, due to the security footage and the Superintendent’s eye-witness account. Upchuck, though cleared of any charges, hadn’t been seen at school either.\n[i:1rgtztk6]How could I have let this happen?[/i:1rgtztk6] Daria thought to herself, staring blankly at the wall. [i:1rgtztk6]I should have known better. I should have known this would happen. I should have seen the signs before this. I need to distract myself from thinking like this.[/i:1rgtztk6]\nShe turned on the TV, which was still on the news channel from the night before.\n[i:1rgtztk6]“Still no change in the weather patterns over Wisconsin, leaving thousands stranded. In local news, the body of a local pizza delivery driver was found today in Lawndale. Police estimate the body, which was found by a passerby who wished to remain anonymous, has been there since last Friday. His wallet was missing, and the only identification on the body was his nametag. If anyone knows any details about the death of ‘Artie,’ please contact the Lawndale police immediately.”[/i:1rgtztk6] The screen changed to a picture of Artie, obviously taken before his death, smiling a goofy grin beneath his pizza hat and bright red hair.\nDaria clutched her head as flashbacks suddenly rushed through her mind.\n\n[i:1rgtztk6]”Listen, lady, you don’t look too good. Are you sure I can’t give you a ride?”\n	She staggered, then fell heavily against his car. He got out and caught her before she could slide to the ground. “We need to get you to a doctor.”\nAnother voice suddenly said, “Don’t worry, I’ll take her.”\n“No,” Daria said softly, scared of the voice she heard.\n“She needs to get to a doctor, and you don’t have a car nearby, so I’m going to take her, ok?”\n“No, she’s coming with me, I said,” the other voice said, in a tone that brooked no dissent. She felt a strong hand clamp onto her upper arm, and a weak one grab her hand.\n“Back off! She doesn’t want to go with you! Leave her alone!”\nA sudden gunshot ripped through the night. The grip on her hand slackened, then she heard a thud as a body hit the ground. She was shoved roughly into a car, then a few minutes of silence before the man returned. She could not turn her head to look at him, but his voice was familiar. Almost like[/i:1rgtztk6]\n\n[b:1rgtztk6]SLAP![/b:1rgtztk6]\nThe feeling of Quinn’s hand on her cheek brought her out of her memory abruptly.\n“DARIA!”\n“What?!” Daria asked, holding her face gently.\n“You’ve been staring at the screen for almost an hour. Are you ok?”\n“I…..I remembered something. Just now. Where’s mom?”\n“She’s working late. Said she was going to be in her office but not to call unless it was important,” Quinn said, but Daria was already dialing the phone.\n\n[i:1rgtztk6]“Hi, you’ve reached Helen Morgendorffer. I’m not available right now, so please leave a message after the beep.”[/i:1rgtztk6]\n[b:1rgtztk6]BEEP![/b:1rgtztk6]\n“Mom, it’s Daria! I need to talk to you right away. I remembered something about else about what happened. There were two people, and one of them tried to help me and he’s dead now! Mom, please call me as soon as you get this.”\nHelen lifted her head off the couch where she’d been dozing, still in a half-conscious stupor. Looking around, she was momentarily confused by her surroundings, but relaxed when she felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her tightly. Sighing contentedly, she went back to sleep.\n\n“Charles, I’m confused. Please tell me again what it is you found.”\n“Ok, dad,” Charles said, sighing to keep his frustrations under control. “The dead guy that the police found today, his body was found right along the path that Daria Morgendorffer would have taken if she was to walk home from the Zon. She said that someone was involved that had red hair, which is why she freaked out and accused me. But this guy Artie was a red head too.”\n“Ok, I get this much. Now, explain the hotel.”\n“It’s right outside the city limits. I showed the clerk these pictures,” he slid two images across the table. “And he said they were there together on Friday night. He said that she,” pointing at Daria’s picture,” was acting drunk. Remember, dad, she was drugged at the club. I showed you the video, of the pill getting dropped into her drink there.”\n“And you’re absolutely certain?”\n“I’d bet my life on it, dad,” Charles said, looking his father in the eyes without a trace of doubt.\n“Very well then. I’ll call the police. Part of me truly hopes you are wrong in all of this, Charles.”\n“So do I, dad.”\n\n[i:1rgtztk6]“Breaking news tonight: a suspect has been arrested in the recent raping of a Lawndale High School student. He had no comment for the press, but a spokesperson for his law firm had this to say:”\nHelen, her makeup smeared and her clothing obviously thrown on in a hurry, said “The law offices of Vitale, Davis, Horowitz, Riordan, Schrecter, Schrecter, and Schrecter stand behind our partner, and he will have our full, unflagging support in this case.”[/i:1rgtztk6]\n\nWhen Helen got home, shortly after midnight, Daria was sitting on the couch staring at her.\n“Are you ok, Daria?” Getting no answer, Helen sat down near her daughter.\n“Mom? What will you do now?”\nHelen sighed. “Well, this is a huge nightmare for everyone. Eric didn’t do this to you, obviously, so we’ve got to get his name cleared. Would you feel up to doing a press conference tomorrow?”\n“Mom, how do you know he didn’t?”\n“Daria! How can you say that?! Eric is a good man, and you know better than to assume he would ever hurt you.”\nDaria rose and walked silently to her room. Helen moved to follow, but Daria had installed a dead bolt lock that day, so all Helen could do was pound on the door.\n“Daria! Open this door right now!” No answer. “Please?” Still no answer. With a sigh, Helen went to the kitchen and sorted through her legal briefs. After a few minutes, she dumped the papers back into her briefcase and poured a glass of wine.','b8697a314d8e82cbc3df470ab5063a59',0,'YA==','1rgtztk6',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461212,31919,3,846,0,'201.120.40.209',1297737639,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The Completely Random Post Thread: Common Cold Edition','[quote=&quot;Dork&quot;:hbctfrkp]Since I\'m bored and crave attention, here\'s a ballpoint pen drawing I did (it\'s not that great)\n[img:hbctfrkp]http&#58;//i55&#46;tinypic&#46;com/nmcoe1&#46;jpg[/img:hbctfrkp][/quote:hbctfrkp]\n\nWell, you should get attention.

If there was one thing Katherine Sloane knew, it was parties and how to gather the information she needed while at them. It was a trait she passed to her daughter, although maybe not in the way it was intended. \n	\nIn the meantime, Elsie had already sent out her feelers, including Reed, to see if there were any disturbing habits she could exploit. She herself didn’t know of any, but Hastert was two grades ahead of her to begin with, and, if she remembered, her father and his father didn’t exactly get along. But her father would never tell her of such a thing directly, it would be impolite. \n	\nHowever, Reed wasn’t able to find anything either. \n	\n“He’s a lot like your brother, just not as much.” Reed had told her. “He’s fairly ambivalent about a whole lot. To be honest, I was really surprised that he said those comments about your servants.” Reed shrugged. “I’m just glad I don’t have any. One less thing for people to try and rib me on. As if being new money was bad enough. Are you sure you heard right?”\n	\n“That’s exactly what Tom said. And he’d have no reason to lie about it.” \n	\n“Maybe he misheard him.” Reed remarked. \n	\n“Maybe.” Elsie admitted. “But he’s a well-respected man, no?” \n	\n“From what I hear, yes.” Reed answered. “He’s said to be smart, poised, confident. Has the standard string of girlfriends, decent player on the lacrosse team.”\n	\n“I hate perfect people, it reminds me of Victoria. Not my first choice of target, but I’ve already got my sights set on him, and we need a new target. Bianca took up far too much time, and there are people out there reveling in their own superiority. I can’t have that.”\n	\n“I suppose not.” Reed smiled. “So what’s your plan for him, there’s nothing I can exploit, and he’s pretty level-headed so I doubt we can trick him out of anything.” \n	\n“I suppose you’re right.” Elsie groaned. “Well, I’ll just have to create my own scandal. Shouldn’t use the Twins so quickly, though, and Lance, he’s been a little odd lately. I should leave him alone a bit, let him soak in the advanced fun, maybe throw the Twins at him. But that was okay, Reed was an able enough agent to get most things done, and she had others she could call upon. \n	\n“Hmmm...you know, this one might require a...different persuasion.” Elsie laughed. “I need something definitive. It’ll take a little time, Reed, but I’m sure I’ll think of something. Working on a plot is just as rewarding as watching it unfold.”\n\n	\n“And so, it’ll be tonight.” Bianca was talking into her phone. “All right, I know. One less druggie to worry about. Goodbye.” Bianca hung the phone up, and then lay down on her bed for a minute. \n	\nThe first part of her plan was finished. Now, there was only one more part left to play, and the game would show it’s cruel side to Elsie Sloane. But this part wasn’t dependent upon her: She couldn’t do everything: There was no one, player or agent, who could be completely self-sufficient in the game, there was just far too many facets to play with. \n	\nAnd there was no one who could do this part, but Tom Sloane. And Bianca didn’t like the idea of bringing him into this. The game changed people, corrupted them. It was a drop of ink on a piece of paper, an oily footprint on fresh-fallen snow. It was not erasable, not taken back. Tom may have wanted to stop Elsie from doing these things, and perhaps this would be ultimately good for her, but Bianca knew that, when it came down to it, she was asking Tom to betray his own sister. Rivals though any group of siblings would be, there was no hate in his heart, he didn’t hate anyone. That was what she liked about him. \n	\nIf she went through with this, she was quite certain she’d never see Tom again. He’d resist the game, Bianca knew, but he’d always carry it with him, and it would be all Bianca’s fault. How could she look at him knowing this.\n	\nCould she call it off? Probably, almost assuredly. Plans were made, if anything, to be malleable. But if she did that, Tom would have to live with the fact that Bianca let Elsie go, let Elsie ruin lives for her own amusement, spread lies for shits and giggles. Nadine could have been subject to a lot worse than savvy negotiating from the parents and bribes to keep it quiet. And just as the game would corrupt Tom, it would corrupt Elsie further. Soon thefts would not end with the precious items being found. Maybe violence would soon come into play. When she was an adult, perhaps Elsie would marry an ambassador or high-ranking politican. They’d never have an end of enemies, and the news world liked a scandal as much as the debutantes did. \n	\nShe called Tom. Better to just have it all done. \n\n	\nTom found his sister relaxing in a chaise by the pool. It was quite a nice spring day, too cold to actually enjoy the water, but enough to relax by it. \n	\n“Well, look who decided to appear outside. I was quite certain you were a vampire.” \n	\n“Possibly, some say daylight doesn’t bother them. Though I’m sure if they could feed on fake cynicism and shoes that were only worn once, you’d see a lot more of them.”\n	\n“Any particular reason why you’re interrupting a good book.”\n	\n“A gossip magazine is not a good book.” Tom returned. “No, I just felt like coming out here and making a show of sibling friendship so Mom doesn’t try to force the idea upon us. So, how was your day, feel free to give a fake answer in case she has spies.” \n	\n“Uneventful as always.” Elsie didn’t look up from her magazine. “And yours?” \n	\n“Some blonde guy I never met all of a sudden asked me if I wanted to buy some cocaine. Brazen little bastard.” Tom growled.\n	\n“Really?” Elsie questioned. “Who in their right mind would sell drugs to you?”\n	\n“They think everyone’s a customer, I guess.”\n	\n“He came right up to you and offered it.”\n	\n“He tried to be cool and said something about Florida snow. They need catchier names, really, they do. It’s all about marketing.” Tom teased. \n	\n“And this happened where?”\n	\n“Near school. I’m going to go see if Bianca’s around. I think I’d rather stuff my body with legal drugs like caffeine and that pizza grease I’m pretty sure is addictive. They should freebase it.” Tom laughed and headed back into the house. \n\n	\nAs a rule, Claude Kinnison divided all people into three categories. It made the world very easy to understand. The first type of person was a client, people who were buying what he was selling. Those types of people were to be treated with respect. The second type were potentials, people who wanted what he was offering, but were afraid of something. Claude may not have had much patience, but sometimes, friendly reassurances, or a more aggressive approach, turned a group two into a group one, the better group by far. The third were business ventures, something aside from basic sales. Everyone else was just...vegetables. Uninteresting, bland, possibly high in fiber but not worth dealing with. Not worth the effort to deal with when he had the other, more important, groups to deal with. \n	\nAnd deal, he needed to do. Cocaine didn’t sell itself, the cravings and addictions of his clients meant little if he couldn’t be accessible, but discrete. Not just to his regulars, but to new customers, as well. \n	\nAnd it looked like a fresh new customer was nearby. Young girl, underage, but dressed impeccably, with nice clothes. Nice clothes meant money to burn, money to burn on something, something he might have had. \n	\nThe girl, with brown hair and a headband, leaned against the wall nearby him. \n	\n“Good afternoon.” Claude ruffled his blonde hair and made polite conversation, although he didn’t look at the woman. Many addicts had low self-esteem, and got nervous when people looked at them. \n	\n“I hear you’re a man who can help me.” The girl spoke. \n	\n“I have many talents.” Claude returned. “That would depend on your needs. You’re a little young for me, though.” \n	\n“Don’t be gauche.” The girl criticized. “I hear you can provide me with something.”\n	\n“It depends on what you’re looking for.” Claude echoed.\n	\n“You like to casually refer to Florida snow. Gotta say, not an impressive euphemism.” \n	\n“Some people like it.” Claude looked around for a moment, and saw the area was clear. “But you did hear correctly. Perhaps I can offer clean needles as a client referral.” \n	\n“I’m sure we can crack jokes all day.” The girl returned. “But I’m a busy woman.” And she reached into her purse and pulled out a roll of bills. Claude couldn’t make it out very well, but she was definitely the “money to burn” type as he thought. Just what he was looking for.\n	\n“Do you have the stuff.” The girl asked. \n	\n“Wouldn’t be good at my job if I didn’t.” Claude replied. “What’s your name?” \n	\n“Is that necessary, can we just get to work?” The girl continued. “I have appointments to keep.” She put the money in Claude’s hand.\n	\n“How much is this, I don’t need too much.” \n	\n“This’ll be plenty.” Claude carefully put the girl’s money, into his pocket, and reached into his coat again. Instead of pulling out carefully prepared cocaine, he pulled out a shiny gold badge.\n	\n“My name is Detective Kinnison, and you’re under arrest!”','ded00317f5d629ae2fd9ef80e321a528',0,'IA==','n452eh4t',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461222,31438,6,305,0,'200.114.121.240',1297743635,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Spirit of the Game, Nature of the Beast (Part 24)','<!-- s:shock: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif\" alt=\":shock:\" title=\"Shocked\" /><!-- s:shock: -->  <!-- s:shock: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif\" alt=\":shock:\" title=\"Shocked\" /><!-- s:shock: -->  <!-- s:shock: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif\" alt=\":shock:\" title=\"Shocked\" /><!-- s:shock: --> \n\nOh Elsie...','90b5e05136db56e6553083b0289012b3',0,'','3slo0din',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461223,31879,4,1097,0,'149.171.7.51',1297745793,1,0,1,0,1,1,'','Re: &quot;Multiculturalism has failed&quot; says rich white English gu','[quote=&quot;Bootstrapper&quot;:2kxgwq2a]I would ask &quot;Who benefits from it and who loses because of it?&quot;\n\nWhat is a nation?

I think you need something that changes the game on a more fundamental level.  I\'m also considering setting the AU break point earlier in the timeline.  Perhaps somewhere in late Season 2 or early season 3.  I need Quinn and Daria\'s relationship not to be on the upswing yet, for one thing.  There are other reasons as well.\n\nHaving an &quot;Apocalyptic Daria&quot;-style nuclear apocalypse narrowly averted might start the process, but the actual catalyst needs to be something a bit more personal.  Jane\'s her safety blanket in a way, wouldn\'t you say?  Something terrible happening to her, leaving Daria by herself, and the system utterly failing to deal with it appropriately would be enough to make Daria crack.\n\nAnd I do mean crack.

And no, I\'m not saying I would kill Jane, or maim her, or have her move away.  I think it\'s something no one\'s done before, from what I\'ve seen.

At approx 15.11, the Lawndale Sun-Herald also knew, thanks to the backdoor it had hacked into a network’s intranet (they’d sent an email to executive, with a video file and the subject “This cat thinks it’s a dog!!!”), and at approx 15.12 so did the L@wnd@le Sux citizen journalism blog (their top man had been delivering a pizza and looked at someone’s computer). \n \nAt the end of the school day, the journalists were swarming to the front door, and security was informing Li they had arrived (so she could call in the lawyers). The students streamed past, completely bewildered by the sight. All except those who’d been in Daria’s Gym class.\n \n“You’ve really put the angry statue with a shotgun among the pigeons now, Morgendorffer,” muttered Jane. “You should [i:3rk0l5jv]really[/i:3rk0l5jv] get a lift home from Tom.”\n \n“Are you suggesting that snitches are unpopular? Oh rap music, you lie to us all.”\n \nThey caught up with Tom, who looked freaked when he heard what Daria had done. \n\n“Daria, do you have the [i:3rk0l5jv]slightest[/i:3rk0l5jv] idea the crap-pile you’re going to face at school for the next, oh, [i:3rk0l5jv]ever?![/i:3rk0l5jv] Even that fat guy who blows milk out his nose won’t go near you in case it hurts his social standing!”\n \n“I ignored it like Quinn ignores the minimum drinking age.” Daria then winced: Jane. She hadn’t thought of that. “Ummm... Jane-“\n \n“Bit late now,” said Jane, her voice neutral.\n \nDaria glanced at Tom, who responded: “Oh what the hell, I’m only here for another three weeks.”\n \nAs they drove off, the prey of journalists – rabid and starving and realising they’d forgotten to bring alcohol – noticed Kevin in his Lawndale Lions shirt. They [i:3rk0l5jv]charged[/i:3rk0l5jv], fighting to get to him, and PBS-LC’s reporter only got to him first by farting on command and scattering his rivals.\n \n“Young man, Angel Rodriguez, PBS-LC!” (He gestured for his camerawoman to take the shot) “You’re in the football team, yes?!”\n \nKevin looked at the camera, stunned. “[i:3rk0l5jv]Whoa![/i:3rk0l5jv] Yeah, I’m the [i:3rk0l5jv]QB![/i:3rk0l5jv] Awww man, is PBS a sports channel?!

I’ve been lied to!” \n \nAt the front of the school, Steve saw the scene, winced, and called in to Li: “The dyke has a leak, repeat, dyke has leak – Dutch boy needed!”\n \nThe scream from her end was so high, the sniffer dogs began to howl (and, in two cases, tried to mate with the radio).\n \n----\n \nOnce at home, Daria knew she needed to think of what to do if and when the bomb she’d detonated splashed back on her.\n \nAnd right after she’d watched a lot of TV, she’d get right on that.\n \n[i:3rk0l5jv]“Are Girl Scout cookie sales cover for a nationwide drug ring?! That’s the way the cocaine crumbles, tonight on Sick, Sad World!”[/i:3rk0l5jv] \n \n---\n \n“Foggy” Murdoch, Lawndale High’s attorney and developer of many ulcers, arrived at Lawndale High to find the journalists still there, being bored to tears as Kevin Thompson prattled on about “cool” games, but none of them daring to leave in case [i:3rk0l5jv]he said SOMETHING ELSE newsworthy[/i:3rk0l5jv]. That’s how Murdoch knew things were really bad. ([i:3rk0l5jv]Screw the recommended dose, I’m taking three pills now[/i:3rk0l5jv] he thought)\n \nHe pushed through the journo’s with a barrage of “no comment!”’s, and noted with dismay that the staff car park was still full. Li wasn’t allowing the staff to leave the building again. Oh god.\n \n“Not ENOUGH to RUIN my WORKING LIFE, I now have to LOSE MY BRIEF MOMENTS OF RESPITE!!!” came an angry roar from... somewhere.\n \nMurdoch knocked the secret knock on Li’s door, waited for the locks to be undone, and entered to see a frazzled Li and two very worried Gym coaches (Morris and Gibson, he remembered).\n \n“I was going to suggest we threaten a defamation case, but since Thompson has been talking around them, we’ve lost there,” he told them. “But since nobody has said that everyone in power was involved-“ He noticed Morris looking down, and carried on without missing a beat: “But since nobody has ever [i:3rk0l5jv]explicitly said[/i:3rk0l5jv] the grades will be changed on a student’s behalf-“ He noticed all three people looking down, and carried on with: “But, hey at least you didn’t actively threaten grade-fixing on students you didn’t like [i:3rk0l5jv]OH COME ON!!!![/i:3rk0l5jv]”\n \n“We can claim lies!” said Li, breathing heavily. “We know which student did it, we can claim they lied – she has a [i:3rk0l5jv]record[/i:3rk0l5jv] of misanthropy, and her friend had... had difficulties in track-“\n \nMurdoch thought fast. “Ye-[i:3rk0l5jv]es[/i:3rk0l5jv], possible. You’d have to claim Kevin Thompson was joking – and frankly, the reporters will [i:3rk0l5jv]want[/i:3rk0l5jv] to believe he was having fun at their expense and isn’t like that. Play it [i:3rk0l5jv]very[/i:3rk0l5jv] carefully though, we don’t want the family suing for libel. Nobody else is going to come forward and support these claims, are they?”\n \n----\n \n“Mr Sherman?”\n \nTommy Sherman looked up from his space at the bar, a drink halfway to his lips. “Well [i:3rk0l5jv]duh.[/i:3rk0l5jv]”\n \n“May O’Nell, Mid-Maryland Network.” She flashed her ID and a brilliant smile. “We’re researching Lawndale High” (an intern had done two clicks on Google) “and we’re led to believe you gave a speech there a few months ago, and, aheh, had some tales to tell.”\n \n“After an exclusive?”\n \n“We’ll give you $100.”\n \n“Done,” he said, leaving out that she was the third journalist to come to him after finding Lawndale Leaks. Hey, Tommy Sherman never said he [i:3rk0l5jv]was[/i:3rk0l5jv] giving them an exclusive...\n \n---\n \nThere was an interesting smell coming from the kitchen.  Jake had decided he was going to be a kindly uncle and teach Erin how to cook spicy pasta combo’s. The results smelt... [i:3rk0l5jv]edible.[/i:3rk0l5jv]\n \n“I don’t think you’re doing it right,” he told her.\n \n“Asking me to conform?”\n \n“...OH GOD!” He clutched his chest, and then a bottle. And then drank the bottle. Which was chilli sauce and not booze. “GGLGGLGLGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” \n \nDaria walked in to watch this, mildly amused as her father tried to gargle an entire tub of ice cream, then had to blast it out of his mouth and into the sink to not choke, then fell over breathing heavily.\n \n“So they were right. It [i:3rk0l5jv]is[/i:3rk0l5jv] a [i:3rk0l5jv]woman’s[/i:3rk0l5jv] place in the kitchen.”\n \n“Never... [i:3rk0l5jv]conform...![/i:3rk0l5jv]” gasped out the punk to Erin, before he fell over. \n \n“Er, okay Uncle Jake.”\n \nWhile the kitchen was still being recovered, the doorbell rang. Quinn ran to it dress in minimal leather, answering with a cry of “I’m almost ready to go out---“ before noticing two men in suits. “Oh. Wrong house, dumbasses.”\n \n“I’m Mr Murdoch, this is Mr Ford. We’re looking for a Daria Morgendorffer.”\n \n“...DARIA! Did you... DID YOU GET A [i:3rk0l5jv]JOB?![/i:3rk0l5jv]”\n \nDaria walked to the door, looking confused, and then showing understanding. “Ah. Of course. Quinn, get Mum please.” As the punk stormed off, she carried on with: “I’m assuming you’re with some law firm or other-“\n \n“Vitale, Davis, Horowitz, Riordan, Schrecter, Schrecter, and Schrecter.”\n \n“Is the third Schrecter a spare in case one of the others breaks down?”\n \n“God I hope n-“ Murdoch was elbowed. “We’re here on serious business, Ms Morgendorffer.”\n \nHelen arrived in a stomping of knee-high studded boots. “All RIGHT you capitalist lackeys! Whatever Quinn – sorry, sorry, force of habit. Whatever Daria is [i:3rk0l5jv]claimed[/i:3rk0l5jv] to have done, you better have some reliable witnesses or you’ll [i:3rk0l5jv]have[/i:3rk0l5jv] to chase ambulances!”\n \n“We represent Lawndale High, ma’am, and the school wishes to make a deal with Ms Morgendorffer,” said Ford, a man with a gravelly and disturbing voice (which is why he was talking). “She has made spurious and defamatory accusations against the institution and several of its employees, and when they are investigated, we require Ms Morgendorffer to formally notify the investigators that she lied. Otherwise, we will take up legal proceedings.”\n \n“And you have proof she lied, do you? That’s a rhetorical question and the answer is BULLSHIT YA DO!”\n \n“We have a lot of evidence-“ Behind Ford, Murdoch held up a fat folder. “-from the school of her behaviour. It would not be difficult to convince a court that-“ \n \n“Ah, the old ‘stuff a folder with blank paper’ trick, eh?” Helen had her arms folded and sounded amused. “Dear oh dear.”\n \n“Allegations like that are defamatory to the firm of Vitale, Davis, Horowitz, Riordan, Schrecter, Schrecter, and Schrecter, and we will take action if ne-“\n \nDaria smirked. “To be defamatory, don’t you need to have had a good name to began with?”\n \n“Permit me to make things [i:3rk0l5jv]clearer[/i:3rk0l5jv]: Ms Morgendorffer made false accusations to the local media. The local media is currently being convinced, quite satisfactorily, that it was false – there will be no backing from them. The school, and the district, want to avoid taking a student to court but they can and they will if a deal is not struck.”\n \nIn the lounge, a recovering Jake overheard things that sounded [i:3rk0l5jv]serious[/i:3rk0l5jv], so he dived for the coach and switched on the TV. \n \n“...and while Principal Li told us that the claims were lies by a malcontent student, ex-Lawndale Lions quarterback Tommy Sherman confirmed that grade-fixing had been going on for years. [i:3rk0l5jv]’Man, Tommy Sherman never even WENT to Maths class after freshman year!’[/i:3rk0l5jv]”\n \nBack at the doorstep, Ford looked like he wanted to cry, while Helen was grinning like Tom after finding both Jerry’s legs were broken. \n \n“Oh [i:3rk0l5jv]dear[/i:3rk0l5jv]. It looks like Lawndale High tried to strong-arm my daughter into [i:3rk0l5jv]making[/i:3rk0l5jv] false allegations during an official inquiry and was threatening to commit perjury! They’ll receive my writs on Monday.” She raised two fingers and made a flatulent noise. “DIE DIE MY DARLING! AHAHAHAA!”\n \nMurdoch laid a consoling arm on Ford’s shoulder and began to lead him away. “Forget it, Blake. It’s Lawndale High.”\n \nHelen slammed the door shut and, to Daria’s horror, hugged her daughter. “Having lawyers threatening you! Awww, my little baby’s all grown up! SNAKEY! QUINN! [i:3rk0l5jv]DARIA TWATTED HER SCHOOL SO BAD THEY TRIED TO SUE HER![/i:3rk0l5jv]”\n \n“Wait, you mean [i:3rk0l5jv]you’re[/i:3rk0l5jv] the lying malcontent who told the truth?! KIDDO! TOTAL [i:3rk0l5jv]ROCK![/i:3rk0l5jv]”\n \nQuinn looked stunned. “Wait. No. It’s - [i:3rk0l5jv]Daria’s[/i:3rk0l5jv] a punk now?”\n \n“SHE’S A PUNK’S PUNK, DAMN IT! YEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH!”\n \n“No,” said Daria.\n \n“Well, gah, Daria, if you’re going to be a punk,  you gotta stop dressing like [i:3rk0l5jv]that[/i:3rk0l5jv]. Come on, I’ll let you borrow some of my stuff – Mum, can you ask Axl to do a house call tomorrow? This will take [i:3rk0l5jv]work.[/i:3rk0l5jv]”\n \nDaria thought fast. “But if I stay dressed like this, the school will immediately recognise me and be afraid, because they know I’m coming. Isn’t it punk to strike fear into the hearts of-“ She punched the air, unenthusiastically “-the Man?”\n \nQuinn thought this through, then scowled. “All right, Daria. You win [i:3rk0l5jv]this[/i:3rk0l5jv] round.”\n \n“Let’s ALL go out to celebrate!” cried Helen. “Quinn, weren’t you going to the Zon?”\n \n“Ugly Mofos are playing! At least one person gets glassed at [i:3rk0l5jv]every[/i:3rk0l5jv] gig they do!”\n\n“Family outing time!” Helen thought for a second: “Erin?”\n \n“No,” replied Erin, far away from the scene.\n \n“You don’t know what you’re missing. Come on, let’s go show the Zon the [i:3rk0l5jv]new[/i:3rk0l5jv] punk in town!”\n \nDaria sighed. “Alright, but only if we can bring our own toilet seat.”\n\n(tbc)','db2b27db7d831fac9c5f0d863cdf8ffa',0,'cA==','3rk0l5jv',1,1303304434,'',1108,7,0),(461258,31438,6,1108,0,'86.164.205.82',1297787208,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Spirit of the Game, Nature of the Beast (Part 24)','DOOOOOOOM!!!!  <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D -->','3ecee70ab06a0e6ea08708402d509dd7',0,'','15rp7y8a',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461259,31952,6,1127,0,'122.149.69.155',1297787527,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: God Save The Esteem ep22: Anarchy in the Lawn-D','YEAH!!!

Mr. DeMartino was standing at his podium at the front of the room, staring impassively at the crowd of teenagers, around three-quarters of which still had their clothes on.  As the girls entered, he turned his head and fixed them with his bulging right eye.\n\n&quot;Ah, LADIES,&quot; he said, stopping them in their tracks.  &quot;How nice to see you on this [i:12h1tuov]beautiful school day[/i:12h1tuov].  I know that your usual SEATS are in the BACK, but I was hoping you would inDULGE me by sitting up FRONT.&quot;  He waved his hand at the front row, which was empty.  &quot;As you can [i:12h1tuov]plainly see[/i:12h1tuov], I\'ve been saving these seats just.  For.  YOU.&quot;\n\nThe bell rang, almost as if DeMartino had planned the timing himself.  Glancing nervously at one another and swallowing down knots of tension, the four fashionistas took the indicated chairs and waited for the inevitable storm.\n\nDeMartino closed the classroom door then returned to his podium.  No emotion was betrayed upon his face save for the light scowl that seemed to be a permanent feature no matter how much he relaxed his facial muscles.\n\n&quot;So,&quot; he began, leaning forward and interlacing his fingers.  &quot;I had heard RUmors from my first period class that students were running around NAKED on CAMPUS.  I can see now that these rumors are TRUE.  I have been FURTHER informed that this sequence of events originated [i:12h1tuov]with the four individuals directly in front of me[/i:12h1tuov].  Is THAT true?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes, Mr. DeMartino, and if you would-&quot;\n\n&quot;I WOULD,&quot; he growled, cutting Sandi off mid-sentence, &quot;but I don\'t particularly CARE, Miss Griffin.  Your reasoning, [i:12h1tuov]should you actually happen to have had any[/i:12h1tuov], is inconsequential to me.  What I DO care about is that I now have several young men and women sitting before me, [i:12h1tuov]ENTIRELY WITHOUT CLOTHING[/i:12h1tuov], and I am sure that there are many more now OUT and ABOUT in other classrooms across the SCHOOL.  My question for YOU, Misses Griffin, Morgendorffer, Rowe, and Blum-Deckler, is THIS . . . did you think I would be aMUSEd by this?  Did you think I would find it CLEVER?  FUNNY?  [i:12h1tuov]WITH ANY SORT OF MERIT WHATSOEVER?![/i:12h1tuov]&quot;\n\nAll of the planned arguments fled from the girls\' minds as they stared up at the now-snarling visage of their history teacher, who was leaning over the podium and looking at each of them in turn.  It gave him the appearance of a very menacing oscillating fan brought directly up from Hell itself.\n\nThen, to their complete surprise, his corners of his mouth turned upward into a boxy grin and he began to chuckle.\n\n&quot;Because if you did, then you were RIGHT!&quot; he said.  &quot;As I SAID, I don\'t know your reasons, nor do I care what they ARE.  Regardless of your inTENtions, you have me ENTERTAINED.

DeMartino barked laughter of delight and turned to the whiteboard as another handful of students started to remove their own garments.\n\n&quot;Of COURSE,&quot; DeMartino said as he erased the board, &quot;as I am still a TEACHER and therefore have a responsiBILITY toward DISCIPLINE . . . your actions cannot go unPUNished by me.  So instead of today\'s original lesson, which you\'ve ALL been studying [i:12h1tuov]oh so hard for this past week[/i:12h1tuov], we will instead be focusing on a subject somewhat related to today\'s tomfoolery . . . the Vietnam War PROTESTS and the [i:12h1tuov]Free Love movement![/i:12h1tuov]&quot;\n\nHe turned back around, his face a maliciously grinning skull.  &quot;Read chapters fifteen through eighteen of your textbooks, and there will be a QUIZ on them [i:12h1tuov]at the end of the class![/i:12h1tuov]  HA!

I hear about everyone has run across this at times (&quot;so when are you going to have children?&quot; and such), but among strong right wingers (and this includes women, btw) it was added in that America\'s enemies like Radical Muslims were having far more children and so we needed to breed more (again those soldiers, breeders, and taxpayers as taken for granted on a right wing radio show). \n\nI\'ve once read a racist Heathen \'zine (also right wing) once that said about the same thing from a racial point of view (we need more white babies before we drown in all the other races).

They genuinely love both their children, and don\'t seem to act with any actual malice.[/quote:3shrqx3e]\n\nKids like Daria can be hard to raise.  They don\'t fit in the expected mold, and Dr. Spock\'s generic advice doesn\'t quite match.  These days there\'s a lot of books about it, but in Helen and Jake\'s time there wouldn\'t have been.  I\'d particularly note that while Daria is introverted (not heavily so, but about as much as would be even remotely possible for an MTV lead) neither of her parents are.  I mean we\'ve got a marketing consultant and a lawyer here, and neither shows any hint of introversion.  Not surprising, as introverts are in the minority.  But extraverts are [i:3shrqx3e]bad[/i:3shrqx3e] at understanding introverts, for a number of reasons.  There\'s more of them, they\'re way more prevalent in entertainment, and the fundamental difference in psychology makes it hard.\n\n(Side note, but the series that got me hooked on anime was [url=http&#58;//en&#46;wikipedia&#46;org/wiki/Serial_Experiments_Lain:3shrqx3e]Serial Experiments Lain[/url:3shrqx3e].

Letting Quinn systematically emotionally attack Daria is unacceptable (the cousin thing, using Daria\'s clothing as an example of non-fashionability, etc.).[/quote:3shrqx3e]\n\nTo be fair, I don\'t think they know it happens.  Not that this is a ringing endorsement, of course, since it shows just how disconnected they are from their kids (in Jake\'s case I think it\'s at least partially because he\'s trying to keep a buffer so that he doesn\'t go Maddog on them).  Note the few times it comes up in front of the parents in the series, they don\'t seem to know what\'s happening.  Like Quinn complaining at the end of Esteemsters about Daria calling her out as her sister on stage.  And remember, Quinn sure isn\'t about to fess up to this; she knows the behavior is wrong.  Daria is the kind to solve her own problems when possible (and even if she wasn\'t that way to start with, the early parenting focus on Quinn would push her in that direction).\n\n[quote=&quot;Lord Yellowtail&quot;:3shrqx3e] <!-- s:? --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif\" alt=\":?\" title=\"Confused\" /><!-- s:? --> The more I think about Daria and her family, the more I realize just how dysfunctional it is ...

I\'m adding it to my list of places to never visit (along with Russia and both Poles). \n\nIt was interesting to read about states that have laws which allow the harm of a pregnant woman to be a double crime, whilst still having abortion services available. We don\'t have anything like that here. We had a bill here in CO that tried to go through on the last presidential election, it would have reworded the law so that &quot;a person is a person from the time of conception&quot;. I knew people who really liked it because it would have allowed punitive action to be taken when a pregnant woman lost her baby due to an accident caused by another person. I\'d like to see a law like that here, but I voted against the bill because it mostly sounded like a squirrely way to make abortion illegal. I was really glad it didn\'t go through.\n\nI think it\'s important to be thoroughly educated about a procedure like abortion, but South Dakota really seems to be taking it way too far in my opinion. And if they are going to require people to visit &quot;information clinics&quot; before an abortion, then the state should be inspecting those clinics to make sure they are giving out accurate info. But in this case the state legislature seems to be mostly amassed of people who want to force others to live according to a certain set of ethics, regardless of what the citizens might personally believe.

[/quote:39mso2vd]\n\nThat\'s one of the things I\'ve found I like about it: Tom, when you get down to it, has big emotional blindspots when it comes to other people, where he assumes people feel the same as him, that everything will work out, and generally not grasping things. Which not only makes sense when you consider his massive wealth (of course he\'ll assumes things work out), it puts him just a few steps away from Daria\'s own problems [i:39mso2vd]and[/i:39mso2vd] leads to obvious sources of nummy conflict.[/quote:39mso2vd]\n\nThat\'s a valid interpretation of his character, for sure.  I can\'t really explain why my brain insists on taking the harsher interpretation of him.  I think it comes down to the way he was used as what felt like a cheap drama device.  If he\'d dated Jane, broke up with her, and then dated Daria, I wouldn\'t have had nearly as much of a problem.  Of course, if he\'d been that considerate, he wouldn\'t be Tom.  I think I have serious issues with the love triangle as literary device.  It\'s one of those things that\'s been overdone so much my brain just gets defensive.\n\nThe way I\'ve got things plotted out for this in my head now, Jane/Tom never happens because Jane has been ... removed from the board before he shows up.  This avoids the whole triangle business.  Tom/Daria still happens because, as much as it pains me, they do have chemistry and he was obviously attracted to her, and she to him.  I\'m undecided if his mouth would get away from him and he\'d liplock someone else while they were dating, though.  I doubt his philosophical commitment to monogamy in the face of hormones.  Has anyone ever done Daria as the one Tom was with when he kissed &quot;the other woman?&quot; (Whoever that happened to be.)\n\n[quote:39mso2vd][quote:39mso2vd]I like Jake too much to let him suffer too terribly for too long[/quote:39mso2vd]\n\nWe ALL think that about the characters, and yet... <!-- s:twisted: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_twisted.gif\" alt=\":twisted:\" title=\"Twisted Evil\" /><!-- s:twisted: -->[/quote:39mso2vd]\n\nYou know, sometimes I think I torture characters MORE when I do especially like them.

I do not trust Helen to handle delicate situations normal canon Daria has with any predictable level of skill and verve.  I think she\'d handle superheroic Daria with the grace and subtlety of a kiloton-range nuclear warhead.  I can\'t envision Helen finding out as being anything but an epic disaster ... I\'m also reading &quot;Bad Times&quot; right now, so I\'m not exactly thrilled with Helen at the moment.\n\nAlso, I\'m not sure about the Rules of Professional Conduct, but my instinct (I am a law student) is that they would bar Helen from representing Daria in this situation.  You have to be able to act with a certain level of professional detachment, and not unduly influence your client.  Representing your own children/spouses is sometimes prohibited for exactly those reasons.\n\nOn a more practical level, Helen is, to my knowledge, a corporate lawyer. That is very, very different from being a criminal lawyer.  Civil lawyers may not even have all the necessary training to handle criminal cases.\n\nBetween Trent (who\'s playing the Alfred Pennyworth role when he\'s not sleeping/fretting over Jane\'s ... situation), the local Oracle expy screwing with the authorities when they get to close, and the local Superman expy (who Daria is annoyed at herself for getting along with so well), and Anthony DeMartino, MAN of ACTION, I\'m hoping she can avoid getting herself caught in such a way that it would send her secret ID crashing around her ears.\n\n[quote:39mso2vd][quote:39mso2vd]Jane\'s her safety blanket in a way, wouldn\'t you say?

Letting Quinn systematically emotionally attack Daria is unacceptable (the cousin thing, using Daria\'s clothing as an example of non-fashionability, etc.).[/quote:1t898e7g]\n\nTo be fair, I don\'t think they know it happens.  Not that this is a ringing endorsement, of course, since it shows just how disconnected they are from their kids (in Jake\'s case I think it\'s at least partially because he\'s trying to keep a buffer so that he doesn\'t go Maddog on them).  Note the few times it comes up in front of the parents in the series, they don\'t seem to know what\'s happening.  Like Quinn complaining at the end of Esteemsters about Daria calling her out as her sister on stage.  And remember, Quinn sure isn\'t about to fess up to this; she knows the behavior is wrong.  Daria is the kind to solve her own problems when possible (and even if she wasn\'t that way to start with, the early parenting focus on Quinn would push her in that direction).[/quote:1t898e7g]\n\nI\'m pretty sure I prefer them KNOWING Quinn is an S-class bullying brat to Daria and just not knowing what to do about it (and hence, doing nothing about it) to being so blind to the situation that they can\'t see it at all.  Sure, I can buy them not believing Quinn would pull the &quot;cousin,&quot; thing, given that they never witness it in a verifiable manner and it\'s so over-the-top ludicrous to believe, but parents should at least be aware of what goes on in their own homes.  Not being able to control Quinn makes them bad parents, but at least you can imagine they\'re trying.  Not even knowing it\'s going on makes them literally frighteningly bad because they literally have no idea what\'s going on around them.  Given how borderline depressed Daria is most of the time, and how skewed Quinn\'s brain is, the idea that their parents aren\'t watching their backs unless there\'s a near disaster at the door at all (the anorexia painting, &quot;Boxing Daria,&quot; etc.)  is just ... eeek.\n\nLike you, I can give Jake more of a pass than Helen.  I also believe he\'s actively, purposefully disengaged himself to avoid becoming his father.  Which is so terribly, terribly sad.  Helen\'s excuses for being the way she is aren\'t nearly so altruistic.\n\n[quote:1t898e7g][quote=&quot;Lord Yellowtail&quot;:1t898e7g] <!-- s:? --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif\" alt=\":?\" title=\"Confused\" /><!-- s:? --> The more I think about Daria and her family, the more I realize just how dysfunctional it is ... Daria\'s lucky to be as socially capable as she is, under the circumstances.[/quote:1t898e7g]\n\nThis is actually very significant, and why I wonder if we missed out on some significant back-story in the series bible (or if the staff just didn\'t think about it).  For Daria to so easily form such a strong friendship with Jane would suggest to me that she\'s had at least some important friends before.  If not, she\'s an amazingly emotionally resilient person.[/quote:1t898e7g]\n\nI like the idea that Jane\'s really her first friend.  Either Daria\'s just highly emotionally resilient as you say, or Jane\'s really her soulmate (whether in the romantic sense or the Heterosexual Life Partner way, to whatever your taste is).  I always read canon as Daria being so lonely and desperate to find anyone even remotely like her that didn\'t think she was a freak that she let herself latch onto Jane when she appeared and seemed similar, and then magic happened.\n\nMagic is important.\n\nIt is fortunate Jane did not turn out to be an axe murderer.\n\nThat said, I tend to agree with you that there should be something else in the canonical backstory aside from Jake and Helen being The World\'s Worse Parents Who Aren\'t Actually Criminally Liable.  That gets you all Daria\'s negative qualities, but it does not explain why she\'s able to function as well as she does.  If you set the series 5-10 years ahead, maybe she has internet contacts that at least give her some sort of interaction with other persons who share her high intelligence?','d45c89b5d9d6a9765f808c29497ad394',0,'gA==','1t898e7g',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461339,31723,6,37,0,'98.127.56.24',1297818596,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: World\'s Shortest Crossover','&quot;Mr. Morgendorffer, I\'m from [url=http&#58;//en&#46;wikipedia&#46;org/wiki/Repo_Men:s4b6r0zp]The Union[/url:s4b6r0zp].

He was actually in narcotics and does drug busts. After that, I’m not sure what our parents did, but Elsie was on a very tight leash. No matter her complaints, she goes to every party and is always in plain sight. Part of me wonders whether they thought she was a user or if they knew about the game, but ultimately, I’m not sure that matters. Everyone managed to find out, though. That stuff gets out.”\n	\n“Did Elsie find out. About you, I mean.”\n	\n“Probably. She’s not dumb, you can’t be dumb and do those things she did.” Tom explained. “I was the one who told her about Bradley, and about the “drug dealer”, so yeah, she figured it out. What could she do against me, not that I cared whatever she tried. She’ll settle for hating me, although, maybe, when she grows up, she’ll know it was for her own good.” \n	\nDaria was silent for the longest time.\n	\n“You hate me for it?” Tom asked. “Cause if you do, I understand. It was a pretty mean trick.”\n	\n“Well, I don’t think a lot of the things I’ve pulled could qualify on that level, but, well, I don’t think you’re a bad person. You were right, it would have just gotten worse, and I don’t think there was any other way to do it.” Daria answered. It was really hard to say. In her moral, ideal world, it would have been a bad thing, but in her moral, ideal world, she would have never kissed Tom behind Jane’s back. No one lived up to their own morals all the time. Not Daria, and not even Tom. The intensity of what he did was matched by the circumstances he was in. Not blameless, not malicious. It simply was.\n	\n“It wasn’t long after that I met you guys, and you know the story from there.” Tom answered. \n	\n“Have you ever done anything like that game after that?” Daria asked.\n	\n“You know the answer to that.” Tom returned, and Daria did. No, a straight no, Tom learned his lesson from what he did, and turned back into the direct person he always was, the one that didn’t play such games, on a small scale or a grand one.\n	\n“What happened to everyone else? Bianca, Reed?” \n	\n“I didn’t find out about Reed until much later. Like any player of the game, he kept his alliances fluid and probably works for a new patron. I’m not a janitor, they want to ruin themselves, fine. Just keep it far away from me. And Bianca, she went back home, just as I suspected. I hadn’t heard from her since then.”\n	\n“You liked her?” Daria asked.\n	\n“Sure. She was interesting. But a relationship with her would have never worked. She made a good friend, but not a good dater.” \n	\n“Well, it was an interesting story. Thanks for sharing. I don’t think you’re a bad guy. If it was one thing that happened, well, after our first encounter, you’d probably have the game villify me badly. Worse than I can do intentionally.” \n	\n“You’re very understanding, Daria.” Tom smiled. “I wasn’t how’d you react, to be honest.”\n	\n“Hey.” Daria shot back, but she didn’t mean it. The only reason she was so calm, and could accept other’s mistakes, was because of Tom. Jane too, but Tom showed her how badly she could act when pressed. What mattered most was learning from it, and not committing the crime again. And she did, she never lashed out at Tom about complimenting her story. \n	\nIt wasn’t a matter of simply owing him courtesy, but a matter of respect. Tom respected her decisions, good or bad, and let her make the bad ones and learn from them. And Daria respected his. One look at what her mother did all day taught anyone that going for overkill worked. \n	\n“Come on, since we’re not going, I’ll take you home. If we get hungry, we’ll hit Pizza Palace.” Tom stood up, and Daria followed. She wasn’t that hungry, but she’d go for it anyway. The only thing that improved that weird silence after telling a sad story was pizza. Pizza improved everything.\n	\n“I’ll have to remember that.” [/i:3mwzuy3p]','a4da1d0dd178d1ed4e7ba2161d0fa3f6',0,'IA==','3mwzuy3p',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461341,31155,5,955,0,'50.80.35.233',1297820451,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Who loves vinyl?','One of Dave Marsh\'s books on Springsteen tells the interesting tale of how Bruce and his management decided to release the Haunted Cassette.

While I\'d like to say #3 first, I\'d just like to say that I\'m offended by the insinuation that people who write on certain topics have a undue fascination or even consider doing the things they write about. Some of us have siblings of the opposite gender, as well, and writing a story does not mean in the slightest that you condone - in any manner or on any level -  the activities that the characters engage in during the course of your work. How many of us have written or drawn works in this fandom that depict characters engaged in the more criminal and immoral of acts - hell, in canon, we can name many occasions where the characters acted in ways we find reprehensible. How many of us have engaged in murder, blackmail, sexual and racial discrimination, theft of all levels, conspiracy to commit a myriad of crimes - hell, even simply doing things to mess with the minds of others when we really don\'t have to? We don\'t (hopefully) do any of those things in real life, so the fact that characters in our works do those things shouldn\'t (for the most part) indicative of any real-world proclivities.\n\nUnless, or course, they keep doing in in their works. Charles Moulton - the guy who created Wonder Woman? - well, let\'s just say that a lot of his real-world interests didn\'t so much creep into his works as get detonated all across the entire area that he worked in. No, he wasn\'t [b:dazpk1n5]that[/b:dazpk1n5] much into BSDM... <!-- s:nono: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/disbelief.gif\" alt=\":nono:\" title=\"Disbelief\" /><!-- s:nono: --> \n\nAlso, I didn\'t realize that there was a glut of incest-themed Daria fan fiction out there, or that such a rampant torrent of such material had appeared in the fandom.\n\n3.)

Thank you for letting me come over.”\n“Not a problem at all, dear. Stacy tells me you’ve been having some troubles at home, and I want you to know you’re welcome over here anytime.”\nThey sat at the table, waiting for Stacy to get out of the shower. “I saw your mom on the news earlier. She looked like she…..well, she didn’t look her best. Do you want to talk about it?”\nQuinn hesitated, thinking about if she should. As much as she needed to vent, she knew Daria would never forgive her if she told anyone about it.\n“Is this about your sister?” Ms. Rowe asked quietly. When Quinn looked up in shock, Ms. Rowe smiled gently, taking Quinn’s hand. “I’ve been there before, dear.”\n“What do you mean?” Quinn asked in a whisper.\n“I was where your sister is. Stacy told me about the rumors and the… incident at your school with the football player. I’ve told Stacy that, if she gets the chance, she should try to make friends with your sister, or at least ask if she wants to talk to someone who knows what it’s like.” She gave a sympathetic smile at Quinn’s look of confusion. “I was raped when I was 22, and the only good thing that came out of it aside from the bastard getting a life sentence was my Stacy. I tried for years to hide it from her, but she insisted on knowing who her father was. Once she knew the truth, I think it unhinged her a little bit. She lost all her self-confidence, until you came along, dear. [i:1lhaic4t]That’s[/i:1lhaic4t] why you have an open invitation here. You’re the best thing that ever happened to my daughter.”\nQuinn felt tears forming in the corners of her eyes, and before she knew it she was unburdening herself to Ms. Rowe. She told everything that had happened since the night Daria went to the Zon, finishing with Helen’s news conference and the disgust she felt at her mother defending someone that might have raped her own daughter. Unbeknownst to Quinn, Stacy had entered the room and sat quietly behind her, listening. When Quinn’s tears began to fall, Stacy took her by the hand and led her to Stacy’s bedroom. Lying on the bed, Stacy held Quinn close until her sobs faded into a gentle snore.\n\nAt school the next day, Stacy and Quinn entered together, speaking softly.\n“What are you going to do about your mom, Quinn?”\n“I don’t know,” Quinn sighed. “She’s taking that bastard’s side just because he’s her boss and she’s sleeping with him. I don’t know what to do.”\n“What about your dad?”\n“He’s still in Wisconsin, stuck in that blizzard. He probably only knows what’s been on the news and whatever mom told him. I wish he’d get back here soon.”\n“QUINN!” They turned to see Sandi running towards them, Tiffany close behind. “Is it true?”\n“Is what true, Sandi?” Quinn asked, forcing her voice to be its usual chipper self.\n“That the girl who got raped was your [i:1lhaic4t]cousin[/i:1lhaic4t]?” Sandi said the last word with a sneer.\n“No, my cousin wasn’t the girl who was raped,” Quinn said, her voice flat and emotionless. If Jane had been there, she would have been forgiven for thinking it was Daria speaking.\nAs Sandi opened her mouth, Quinn continued. “My cousin, Erin, is married and lives north of here. Now, if you mean my [i:1lhaic4t]sister[/i:1lhaic4t], Daria, the police said to neither confirm nor deny anything if someone unconnected to the investigation asks. Anyway, I don’t think this is the kind of thing that, as members of the Fashion Club, we should be spreading rumors about, don’t you, Sandi? I mean, this kind of incident is so deplorable –that means ‘really bad,’ Tiffany- that it should be universally condemned, don’t you agree, Sandi?”\nSandi stood quietly for a moment, imitating a landed trout with impeccable skill, until she finally croaked out, “Yes, Quinn. I think you may be right. As [i:1lhaic4t]President[/i:1lhaic4t] of the Fashion Club, I move that we all attempt to squelch rumors concerning Quinn’s [i:1lhaic4t]cou[/i:1lhaic4t]- I mean, sister, until such time as it is acceptable to comment on her choice in clothing again.” The vote was unanimous and the Fashion Club scattered to their respective classes.\n\nAt lunch, Quinn sat picking at her salad when Stacy came running up.\n“Quinn! I can’t believe this! Bathroom! Carving! Oh no!” Stacy began to hyperventilate at this point. After a few minutes, Quinn got her calmed down enough to lead the way to the girl’s bathroom by the Chemistry lab. In the middle stall, freshly carved into the wall, were the words:\n\n[b:1lhaic4t]DARIA MORGENDORFER IS A SLUT![/b:1lhaic4t]\n\nWith a primal scream, Quinn stalked off to the main office. She was told that Ms. Li was in a meeting with Superintendent Cartwright, and would have to wait. As Quinn was leaving the office in a rage, Stacy walked up, taking out her left earring. She whispered, “Wait, Quinn,” then walked into the office.\n“Ma’am. I’m sorry to bother you, but I lost my earring. Did anyone turn it in to Lost-and-Found?”\n“I’ll check for you.” As the receptionist ducked under the desk to pull out the large wooden box, Stacy waved her hand at Quinn, who ran over and Spartan-kicked open Ms. Li’s door.\n“WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!?!” Ms. Li screamed at Quinn, who answered calmly.\n“Ms. Li, someone vandalized one of the stalls in the girl’s bathroom. It’s something that a certain [i:1lhaic4t]lawyer mother [/i:1lhaic4t]might want to hear about. It attacks the reputation of a student who was suspended last week in a rather vulgar way, and I wanted you to know.” With that, Quinn turned and walked away. The receptionist, whose hearing aid battery had died that morning without her realizing it, looked up from the box and smiled at Stacy sadly. “I’m sorry, dear, but there are no earrings in the Lost-and-Found. I hope you find it.”\n\nQuinn and Stacy went back to the lunch room and retook their normal seats. Sandi and Tiffany were there now, along with the normal contingent of male followers.\n“Like, where have you two been?” Sandi asked imperiously.\n“We had to report some vandalism in the bathroom. It deals with what we talked about this morning, Sandi,” Quinn said, trying to keep her voice quiet so no one would overhear.\n“Oh, you mean it was about YOUR SISTER GETTING RAPED? I do hope we can keep that from getting around the school. It would be horrible if everyone knew that YOUR SISTER, DARIA MORGENDORFFER, WAS RAPED, wouldn’t it, Quinn?” Sandi alternated between her normal speaking voice and a full-throated yell, smirking at Quinn the whole time.\nQuinn sat in tears as most of the lunchroom stared in shock at this proclamation. Stacy stood, balling up her fist. “Sandi, you”\nQuinn suddenly ran, gasping as she was overcome by sobs. Stacy glared at Sandi for a second longer, and then ran after her friend. Sandi, oblivious to the death glares she was receiving, turned to Tiffany.\n“Nooootttttt coooollll,” Tiffany drawled, standing and walking away. Sandi stood imperiously and grabbed her backpack. She turned and\n[b:1lhaic4t]SLAP![/b:1lhaic4t]\nShe never saw the hand coming at her face, but she was knocked to the ground by the force of the hand impacting her cheek. In shock, she looked up into the rage-reddened face of Timothy O’Neill, who was pulling his hand back for another hit.\n“Don’t do it, Timothy,” Mr. DeMartino growled, catching O’Neill’s hand as he began to swing. “She’s not worth it.” With his free hand, DeMartino grabbed Sandi by the scruff of her shirt and hauled her to her feet. As he dragged her towards the office, his exit was met with thunderous applause.\n\nStacy walked Quinn home, helping to keep her on her feet most of the way. As they approached Schloss Morgendorffer, Quinn was surprised to see a green SUV parked behind her dad’s Lexus. Entering, she was engulfed in a bear hug by Jake. Still sporting the thick stubble from his three day drive through the Midwest storms, his only priority upon arriving had been, after a quick bathroom break, to see to his eldest daughter.\n“Quinn! What are you doing home?” he asked, confused. Daria sat on the couch, her legs pulled up to her chest.\n“I had to come home, Daddy. There were all these rumors and I”\n“I take it the word has gotten out?” Daria asked softly. When Quinn hung her head in sad confirmation, Stacy sat down opposite Daria on the couch.\n“It was Sandi,” she said softly. “She pieced it together. Actually, a lot of people did, but we were just too polite to say anything about it. Sandi made a big spectacle of announcing it in the cafeteria. That’s when we left.”\n“Daddy, where’s Mom?” Quinn asked nervously. Seeing Jake tense up, Daria answered.\n“Mom has checked into a hotel for a little while. Dad got back right after you left for school, and she told him [i:1lhaic4t]everything[/i:1lhaic4t].” She let Quinn process this, and then added, “Jane is coming over tonight. Dad, do you mind if Stacy stays over so Quinn isn’t quite so lonely?”\n“Yeah, sure!” He turned to Stacy and put his hands on her shoulders gently. “You are welcome here anytime you want, Stacy.”\n\nJake retreated upstairs to rest after his trip, first making the girls promise to come get him if there was any trouble. After a quick trip so Stacy could get a few essentials, the four girls settled down in the Morgendorffer living room and turned on the TV. Once again, the TV had been left on the news channel.\n[i:1lhaic4t]“Police are requesting any information concerning the whereabouts of Eric Schrecter. He escaped from police custody today with the help of an unknown woman who also eluded capture. He is wanted in the murder of Artie McDouglass, and in the rape of a teenage girl. He is considered armed and dangerous.”[/i:1lhaic4t] The picture suddenly cut to a photo of Eric and a composite sketch that was obviously Helen. [i:1lhaic4t]“If you see either of these individuals, contact the police immediately.”[/i:1lhaic4t]Daria changed the channel to [u:1lhaic4t]Sick, Sad World[/u:1lhaic4t] and asked loudly, “Anyone want some soda?” A chorus of affirmative replies answered her, and she went to the kitchen and opened the fridge.\n“Two diets, two regulars,” she muttered as she got the cans and filled glasses with ice. She had to stop for a moment when the tears threatened to fall again, but she wiped her eyes fiercely. “No,” she said softly. “No more tears wasted on that bitch.” Returning to the living room with the beverages, she noticed Jane was gone.\n“Jane said she had to run home for something,” Stacy said, taking her glass.\n\nJane returned just as the episode finished, claiming to have forgotten her favorite doodling pencil. They all changed into their nightwear and settled in for a movie that Jane chose at random from a stack.\n“I didn’t even know you [i:1lhaic4t]had[/i:1lhaic4t] this movie,” she muttered as she put the DVD in. “Damn talking pigs. They scared the snot out of me when I was five.”\n“I think it’s cute,” said Quinn with a chuckle, which was answered by Daria’s pillow flying across the room. A fierce pillowfight ensued, which left Jane as the champion. The movie forgotten, the girls began to chat about random topics, until Jane held up both hands, fingers outstretched. She motioned for the others to follow, and they began a game of “I Never.”\n“I never kissed on the first date,” Jane said with a grin that faded to a frown when all other fingers stayed up.\n“I never went to Makeout Point with a boy,” said Stacy, smiling as Quinn and Jane dropped a finger each.\n“I never let my date order for me,” said Quinn, smirking at Stacy as another finger dropped. They all looked at Daria.\n“I never had a song dedicated to me,” Daria said, smirking at Jane, who dropped a finger and mumbled, “Stupid birthday present.”\n“I never kissed my best friend’s brother,” Jane said, then dropped her jaw when Daria lowered a finger, blushing bright red. “Daria! Details!” Stacy and Quinn leaned in, grinning.\n“Trent was asleep on the couch a couple of weeks ago when I came over to hang out, and I just couldn’t resist. I gave him a quick peck on the lips, and when he didn’t wake up, I kissed him again. He rolled over and mumbled something about honey, that’s when I went upstairs to see you.”\nThree sets of jaws were now on the floor.\nJane took a breath to make a response, but was cut off by the front door opening. They all looked over to see Helen Morgendorffer entering, followed closely by Eric Schrecter.\n“Mom?” Quinn asked, starting to stand up. \n[b:1lhaic4t]BANG![/b:1lhaic4t]\nDaria pulled her back down just as the TV screen was shattered by a bullet from the gun Eric had raised from behind his back.\n“Girls, there’s no need to panic. Eric will be staying here for a few days until the manhunt dies down,” Helen said as casually as though she were announcing that dinner was ready. “Eric, I don’t think that will be needed,” she said, gesturing to his pistol. “By the way, who’s SUV is that in the driveway?”\n“Mine,” Stacy said quickly. “My mom got it for me as a gift for passing my driver’s test.”\n“Oh, congratulations!” Helen said. “Would anyone like something to drink?” The girls all shook their heads, slowly raising their glasses of soda. Eric whispered in Helen’s ear, then sat on the couch as she got him a glass of whiskey from the liquor cabinet. As he raised it to his lips, footsteps were heard on the stairs, followed by Jake’s voice. “What’s going on down there?” \nEric rushed over and pointed the gun upstairs.\n[b:1lhaic4t]BANG![/b:1lhaic4t]','0a73700a6a116c6824c1198c2cc50768',0,'YQ==','1lhaic4t',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461357,31928,6,1151,0,'206.126.163.20',1297830612,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Bad Times (Part 5)','[b:1zxsh3ly]PART 5[/b:1zxsh3ly]\n\nAfter seeing her mother on the news, Quinn had immediately called Stacy, who got permission for a slumber party of just the two of them. \n“I’m so sorry to come over on such short notice, Ms. Rowe. Thank you for letting me come over.”\n“Not a problem at all, dear. Stacy tells me you’ve been having some troubles at home, and I want you to know you’re welcome over here anytime.”\nThey sat at the table, waiting for Stacy to get out of the shower. “I saw your mom on the news earlier. She looked like she…..well, she didn’t look her best. Do you want to talk about it?”\nQuinn hesitated, thinking about if she should. As much as she needed to vent, she knew Daria would never forgive her if she told anyone about it.\n“Is this about your sister?” Ms. Rowe asked quietly. When Quinn looked up in shock, Ms. Rowe smiled gently, taking Quinn’s hand. “I’ve been there before, dear.”\n“What do you mean?” Quinn asked in a whisper.\n“I was where your sister is. Stacy told me about the rumors and the… incident at your school with the football player. I’ve told Stacy that, if she gets the chance, she should try to make friends with your sister, or at least ask if she wants to talk to someone who knows what it’s like.” She gave a sympathetic smile at Quinn’s look of confusion. “I was raped when I was 22, and the only good thing that came out of it aside from the bastard getting a life sentence was my Stacy. I tried for years to hide it from her, but she insisted on knowing who her father was. Once she knew the truth, I think it unhinged her a little bit. She lost all her self-confidence, until you came along, dear. [i:1zxsh3ly]That’s[/i:1zxsh3ly] why you have an open invitation here. You’re the best thing that ever happened to my daughter.”\nQuinn felt tears forming in the corners of her eyes, and before she knew it she was unburdening herself to Ms. Rowe. She told everything that had happened since the night Daria went to the Zon, finishing with Helen’s news conference and the disgust she felt at her mother defending someone that might have raped her own daughter. Unbeknownst to Quinn, Stacy had entered the room and sat quietly behind her, listening. When Quinn’s tears began to fall, Stacy took her by the hand and led her to Stacy’s bedroom. Lying on the bed, Stacy held Quinn close until her sobs faded into a gentle snore.\n\nAt school the next day, Stacy and Quinn entered together, speaking softly.\n“What are you going to do about your mom, Quinn?”\n“I don’t know,” Quinn sighed. “She’s taking that bastard’s side just because he’s her boss and she’s sleeping with him.

Then his mind filled with images from the night before.  The fire, Daria waking him up to get him out of the house, Jane running down his street in a panic when she saw the fire truck ran through his mind over and over again.  He looked around his surroundings.  Jane was asleep on the bed he was leaning against while Quinn was curled in a sleeping bag a few feet from him.  He was a little surprised that he wasn\'t uncomfortable.  [i:3b08y4gt]Jane brought you a pillow and blanket from Wind\'s old room.  You fell asleep before she and Quinn did.

The conversation ended when Jane\'s hand hit his face when she turned around.\n\nDeciding that was a sign to get up, Dorian stood and stretched.  Quietly, he left the room to check on his parents.  They had left a note on the kitchen table and some money for breakfast.  A few minutes later, Jane entered the kitchen and saw Dorian reading a neatly written letter.  Realizing that he was no longer alone, Dorian looked up at Jane.\n\n&quot;Mom and Dad are at the house meeting with the insurance adjuster.  They left us money for breakfast or lunch.  Is Quinn still asleep?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes, she said something about needing a least eight hours of beauty sleep to keep her pores small and cute.  You must have been tired, you\'ve never fallen asleep before me.&quot;  Jane laughed.\n\n&quot;I had worked out with Mack and the three Js yesterday.  When the fire happened, I was so exhausted that Daria had to wake us up.  By the way, thanks for the pillow and blanket last night.&quot;\n\n&quot;How did you know it was me? Oh - wait ... Daria.  Anytime.  Look, after you fell asleep -Quinn and I talked for a long time.  The fire really scared her and it really meant a lot to her that we let her hang out with us last night.&quot;\n\nDorian nodded as he thought about the mental talk he had with Daria earlier.  &quot;I\'m going to take a quick shower to try to wake up a little more,&quot; he said as he got up and went upstairs.\n\n&quot;Slowly count to twenty before you step in the shower unless you think freezing to death will help your alertness level,&quot;  Jane laughed as she headed back to her room.\n\nQuinn woke up an hour later to see Jane sketching and Dorian talking to their parents on the phone.  He hung up and sat down on Jane\'s bed.\n\n&quot;The house has some smoke damage, so for the next two weeks, we\'re going to be staying at a hotel.  They are coming to pick us up in about an hour so that we can pack.&quot;\n\n&quot;You know - you could stay here,&quot;  Jane said with a smirk on her face.\n\n&quot;I\'ll tell them that - in the meantime, it sounds like dad is going to call one of his clients to see if he can get a good deal on some rooms.&quot;\n\n&quot;I hope it ain\'t the Dutchman Inn.  That giant clog is just sooo unfashionable,&quot;  Quinn sighed.\n\n&quot;No - he said something about talking to the manager at Le Grand Hotel.  Jane - you want to come with us so that we can still hang out after we get settled?&quot;\n\n&quot;Sure - I\'ve always wanted to see the inside of that place.&quot;\n\nBy the time Helen and Jake returned, Trent had woken up and joined everyone in the kitchen.  Helen went up to Jane and Trent and gave them each a hug.  &quot;Thanks again for letting us stay here last night.  I called Amy - she was a little upset that we didn\'t call her or go there until I told her about the two of you arriving while the fire truck was still there.&quot;\n\n&quot;Mom, can Jane come with us?  The three of us had planned on spending the afternoon together,&quot;  Dorian asked.\n\n&quot;If it\'s okay with Trent,&quot;  Helen said.  Trent nodded at her. &quot;Let\'s get going.  If you forget something, make a list and we\'ll go shopping tomorrow.&quot;\n\nWhen they arrived back at Schloss Morgendorffer, they were met by Amy and Lillian.  After everyone was packed and ready to go, Amy and Lillian followed them to the hotel.  As a couple of bellhops surrounded their car, Dorian noticed one in particular staring at Quinn.  Although he hadn\'t been a big brother for long, he made sure that he read the guy\'s nametag.  [i:3b08y4gt]Bobby, I will have to keep that in mind.[/i:3b08y4gt]  Once they got checked in and situated, Amy offered to take them out to dinner.

I\'ve finished my fifth story for the fandom, and I gotta say, I really like writing for you all. It\'s fun, it\'s challenging, and the support has been great. I\'m barely finished and I\'m already being asked: &quot;What\'s next?&quot; I\'ll take it as a compliment. \n\nCurrently, I\'m writing work in another fandom (I\'m about 2/3\'s of the way done on a (now 178,000 word) piece I\'ve been writing since August), I\'m going to try and finish that. But until then, or if the muse mule-kicks me, I\'ll get everything lined up for this fandom. \n\nSome of you may remember an idea I had posited before: Salarymen. I\'m still mulling that one over, but for right now, I need to put it on hiatus. To sum up my problems, I think I need a partner to write that one with, preferably someone with a high opinion of Andrew Landon. Even after rewatching Daria, I can\'t think of a praiseworthy thing about that man aside from the fact that he could possibly be a Republican, and the salarymen dynamic doesn\'t work well without him: He\'s the new money, and no one else in canon can fulfill that role, since Angier Sloane and Steve Taylor seem to be more old money. \n\nThere\'s other stuff, of course, about that one. But here are some other ideas I\'ve posited. My past two works I\'ve liked, but I had a lot of original characters made for the two of them, and I\'d really like to try to stick to more canon characters this time around. I don\'t have titles for these yet, but I do have synposes\n\n[b:3evlieyg]Murder in Lawndale[/b:3evlieyg] - Ten years after the canon ends, there is a savage murder in the quiet down of Lawndale, and a young woman is dead. FBI analyst and profiler, Kimberly Davies, is sent for a profiling sample and to assist the small-town police force in solving the case. While Kim is sent alone, her partner, Daria Morgendorffer, seems undeniably agitated about the whole situation. What happened ten years prior to cause Daria to clam up? And can Kim catch a killer before tragedy strikes again? Kimberly is the main character, but she\'s more of a vehicle, and the canon characters (the high schoolers of Lawndale) are the main characters. \n\n[b:3evlieyg]The World According to Ms. Li[/b:3evlieyg] - Controlling the halls and security of Lawndale High was never enough for Angela Li. A combination of robotics, mental conditioning, and a twisted sense of patriotism and justice creates a totalitarian government with the portly principal as it\'s queen. To overthrow this crazy lady wouldn\'t be easy. In fact, it\'s downright suicide. It would take an army, or a really good team. And that really good team is just what Anthony DeMartino is set to find. This story has all canon characters as it\'s stars, but it\'s a complete AU. \n\n[b:3evlieyg]Melody Powers: Superspy[/b:3evlieyg] Exactly what it says on the tin, a series of stories involving the superspy. Not a canon story, but I\'ve got several plotlines that can work (even turning into a shared world, if need be), and, if there\'s interest, that\'s an important thing. \n\n[b:3evlieyg]Her Barchy Ways[/b:3evlieyg] - This one was proposed in my previous topic, but I\'ll repost it here in case interests have changed: Far into the future, Janet Barch, now married to O\'Neill, has mellowed out her misandrist ways, channeling her hatred into her new life. But, a new student emerges in her science class: Cooper, a lad who is the son of her first husband and the woman he abandoned Barch for. Bringing Barch back to the place she thought she had overcome all over again, and threatening to unlearn all she had become. Stars the teachers of Lawndale for the canon cast.\n\n[b:3evlieyg]Salarymen[/b:3evlieyg] - Also proposed in my previous topic was Salarymen, the one that had the most interest. Salarymen, for those who do not know, stars many of the named and occasionally seen, but not dealt with, adult men of Lawndale. Being that Lawndale is a small town and many of their children are the same age and go to the same school, they\'re all familiar, if not called friends, with each other. It deals with them as businessmen, husbands, and fathers. The titular salarymen are Steve Taylor (Brittany\'s father), Angier Sloane (Tom\'s father), Andrew Landon (Jodie\'s father), and Doug Thompson (Kevin\'s father). Supporting cast are the men\'s wives (Ashley-Amber, Katherine, Michele, and Charlene), and Amanda and Vincent. Any of the established children, as well as Helen and Jake, were mostly cameos and plot vehicles, focusing more on the out-of-focus characters.\n\nI also have some crossover ideas. I\'ve never done one before, but I\'m a huge fan of [i:3evlieyg]Case Closed[/i:3evlieyg], a Japanese anime following a high-school detective shrunk down to childhood who solves nearly-impossible murder crimes. It would be very easy to set one in the Daria universe. There\'s also the absolutely fantastic [i:3evlieyg]Hotel Dusk[/i:3evlieyg] series on the Nintendo DS following Kyle Hyde, an ex-cop turned door-to-door salesman who uncovers many secrets and interwoven plots when staying in a place with many people. \n\nOf course, if these all suck, let me know. I\'d much rather go back to the drawing board now if there\'s no potential, since I\'m not in the middle of a story. Thank you all for your comments on my work, and, for those of you that write, giving me a lot to be impressed with.','7570d9cf38915647fe30807b540f9c09',0,'YA==','3evlieyg',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461372,31956,3,846,0,'201.120.40.209',1297837168,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: CBS reporter Lara Logan attacked in Cairo','[quote=&quot;Brother Grimace&quot;:2k86cz1j]Of course, there will always be asshats to crawl out of the woodwork when things like this happen...\n\n[url=http&#58;//www&#46;nationalreview&#46;com/campaign-spot:2k86cz1j]This guy goes on the [i:2k86cz1j][u:2k86cz1j]Insensitive Bastard of the Year[/u:2k86cz1j][/i:2k86cz1j] nomination list as of now.[/url:2k86cz1j]\n\n\n <!-- s:shock: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif\" alt=\":shock:\" title=\"Shocked\" /><!-- s:shock: --> \n\n\n <!-- s:nono: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/disbelief.gif\" alt=\":nono:\" title=\"Disbelief\" /><!-- s:nono: -->  <!-- s:nono: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/disbelief.gif\" alt=\":nono:\" title=\"Disbelief\" /><!-- s:nono: -->  <!-- s:nono: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/disbelief.gif\" alt=\":nono:\" title=\"Disbelief\" /><!-- s:nono: -->  <!-- s:nono: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/disbelief.gif\" alt=\":nono:\" title=\"Disbelief\" /><!-- s:nono: -->  <!-- s:nono: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/disbelief.gif\" alt=\":nono:\" title=\"Disbelief\" /><!-- s:nono: -->[/quote:2k86cz1j]\n\n\nThat is sad and unbelievable.

It just starting to get dark, so I wonder if when I tried to call after her she either didn\'t hear me or was in a hurry to get to a more lighted area. When I reached the bench after I realized it wasn\'t a regular purse, but her laptop messenger back, with a nice Macbook inside. My coworker shrugged. &quot;Leave it there,&quot; he said. \n\nI knew that leaving the bag unattended for more than a few minutes would result on it being unavoidably stolen. It was a nice, new model and I couldn\'t see anyone returning it or taking any effort to see it got back to it\'s owner. &quot;Not your fault,&quot; said my coworker, slightly annoyed. I knew that. I also knew that since the night lights weren\'t kicking in I didn\'t want to spend much time there myself. In the end I decided to hang around for a bit. My coworker gave me a look indicating that I was moron and left. \n\nAfter about 15 minutes I decided to take the bag and maybe put up fliers the next morning. I figured that if the computer was password protected, the real owner would use that as proof of ownership. Still I felt kinda bad for whomever this woman was. I walked towards the lighted parking lot area. There, for some reason I decided to linger for what turned out to be almost another 20 minutes. I put on my university ID around my neck, just to make sure the guards knew I was someone safe. I spent a while thinking how my colleague had just stopped short of suggesting we kept the laptop (he &quot;joked&quot; about it) and how sad it was that a college teacher would be so callous. \n\nI was about to leave when I saw the same young woman racing across the parking lot in the direction of the bench, looking distressed. I managed to catch her attention and she stopped this time after seeing my ID. She saw the bag and looked relieved. I still asked her to identify the laptop (I was fairly sure it was the same person, but still) and once she did, handed it to her. She seemed genuinely baffled at the fact that I hadn\'t kept it. She was thankful, and kept mentioning how she had only made a couple of payments on it and couldn\'t afford another one. \n\nWhen I got to my car my tail-light was broken. Someone must have backed into my car. There was no note, of course. Thing is, I didn\'t think of it as &quot;bad karma&quot; or anything like that. Stuff happens. Sometimes you are lucky to find someone who cares about what they would do if they were in your situation. Sometimes you don\'t. \n\nI think the whole point of the story is that if being &quot;nice&quot; (kind, caring) is in your nature, than you are lucky. I have been called anything from an idiot to a brown-noser phony. But your nature is your nature, and I feel honestly lucky to find that I usually go to bed with a clear conscience. I find it strange that people often believe it\'s a bad thing to show concern for others. \n\nYou know, unlike whoever caused me to cut into my paycheck to replace my right light.  <!-- s;) --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif\" alt=\";)\" title=\"Wink\" /><!-- s;) -->','7854cc09805d4976178f14eed22c5fc5',0,'','7yd8djkx',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461379,31949,3,846,0,'201.120.40.209',1297838734,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: What would Feynman do?','[quote=&quot;rglovejoy&quot;:25gp2h1i]I often ask myself that question when I am facing a tough decision.

They were both glad that there were sidewalks all the way from Lawndale High School to Glen Oaks and beyond; traffic could be murderous.\n\n&quot;So, did you get a Valentine\'s card?&quot; Jane asked.\n\n&quot;Valentines, Schmalentines,&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;Okay.  Did you get a [i:3q5lkpw7]Schmalentines[/i:3q5lkpw7] Day card?&quot;\n\n&quot;I got a gift card from my parents for Books by the Ton.  Like it or not, my parents know the way to my heart.  When Quinn gets home, she\'ll vet the cards and gifts for acceptability.  My goal is to get there and steal the candy sent to Quinn by guys who have no chance with her before she redistributes it to -- !&quot;\n\nDaria never got the chance to finish her sentence.  They were both involved in their own mutual society and didn\'t notice the out-of-control car behind them.  The drunkard who was driving it swerved into the other lane, brought his Lincoln Continental over the curb and managed to clip Jane in the back with the left front fender.  The impact - the car was going at 60 miles per hour - picked up Jane and knocked her body into a utility pole.  Daria, standing just three feet away, barely avoided becoming a victim.\n\nThe driver regained control of the car and brought it back onto the road.  By the time Daria picked herself up from the ground, he was driving off, a clear hit-and-run if there ever was one.\n\n&quot;Jane...?  Jane?!?&quot;\n\nDaria noticed the crumpled form in the red jacket next to the light pole with the gash in her skull.  &quot;JANE!!&quot;\n\nDaria ran over to her fallen friend.  She searched for her cell phone.  &quot;Dammit!  GOD-DAMMIT!!&quot; she cried, throwing the cell phone down.  It had lost its charge.\n\n&quot;Mmm....&quot; Jane said, her eyes fluttering.  &quot;C-can\'t....&quot;\n\n&quot;Jane, for God\'s sake don\'t move!  I\'ll get a doctor!&quot;\n\n&quot;..f-ffeeel....funnny....&quot;\n\nDaria choked when she heard those words.  [i:3q5lkpw7]My God.  Is she paralyzed?  Are these the final moments I\'m going to have with my best friend?  What am I supposed to do without her?[/i:3q5lkpw7]\n\nDaria looked up and down the street frantically, hoping to flag down a passing auto...but there were none visible.  Desperate, Daria cried out.  &quot;Help!  HELP!  THERE\'S BEEN AN ACCIDENT!&quot;\n\nShe looked back over to Jane...[i:3q5lkpw7]who was now on fire[/i:3q5lkpw7]!  &quot;No!&quot; Daria screamed, and took off her jacket, whipping the sparks and flames coming from Jane in the hopes of extinguishing them.\n\n&quot;D--dd----&quot; was the only sound coming from Jane.\n\n&quot;Jane!  You\'re on fire! I\'m trying -- !&quot;\n\n&quot;--s---ss----&quot;\n\n&quot;--I\'m trying to [i:3q5lkpw7]put it out[/i:3q5lkpw7]. Oh God!&quot;\n\n&quot;--s--ss----&quot;\n\nAs Daria continued to flail away...something grabbed her jacket.  &quot;S--s---STOP DOING THAT!  It\'s annoying!&quot;\n\nIt was Jane.  She was now no longer on fire, and had grabbed Daria\'s jacket, tugging at it with her hand.  &quot;That was more painful than the accident!  And why isn\'t your cell phone charged?  How many times do I have to tell you to charge your cell phone!&quot;\n\nJane - miraculously - stood up.  The gash in her skull was gone.  Jane was starting to move like she was waking up from a restful sleep.  \n\nIt was then that Daria saw Jane\'s face.  [i:3q5lkpw7]It wasn\'t Jane[/i:3q5lkpw7].  It was some other girl\'s face!  Red-brown hair, cut short.  Freckles.  Wide green eyes, slightly darker complexion.  And one inch shorter.  But this person, whoever it was, was wearing Jane\'s bloody clothes - which no longer fit.\n\n&quot;Ow!  Why are we walking home anyway...?  Uh...wait a second.  I\'ve forgotten your name.&quot;\n\n&quot;What the hell?&quot; Daria asked.\n\n&quot;It\'s Darla.  No, it\'s Destiny.  No, it\'s...[i:3q5lkpw7]shit[/i:3q5lkpw7]!  What the hell happened?  I feel like I\'ve gone completely stupid.&quot;\n\n&quot;Y-you....&quot;  Daria had no words to explain it.\n\n&quot;It looks like you don\'t have any ideas either...[i:3q5lkpw7]Daria[/i:3q5lkpw7].  Yes, that\'s it.  Your name is Daria.  Great.  Hit by an ignoramus while walking in [i:3q5lkpw7]my designated walking area on the sidewalk[/i:3q5lkpw7]!  That was an egregiously illegal act!&quot; Jane/not Jane shouted at the road, and shook her fist at...[i:3q5lkpw7]nothing[/i:3q5lkpw7], since the driver wasn\'t there.  &quot;You didn\'t happen to get his license plate number, did you?&quot;\n\n&quot;No.&quot;\n\n&quot;It figures. Pay more attention next time, Daria.  The life you save could be your own.&quot;  Jane/not Jane sighed.  &quot;Well...forget it. We have to go home.  Where is my home, anyway?  I appear to be suffering from some short term memory loss.  Daria, run interference for me and don\'t let anyone ask stupid questions.&quot;\n\n&quot;Jane,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;Before you decide to blow this off like nothing ever happened, you seriously need to find a mirror.&quot;\n\n&quot;Why?  Nothing seems to be broken.  I feel fine.&quot;\n\n&quot;Uh...I think your face has been...you\'ve [i:3q5lkpw7]transformed[/i:3q5lkpw7].&quot;\n\n&quot;Transformed?&quot; Jane/not Jane said haughtily.  &quot;Daria, you\'re not making any sense here?  Aren\'t [i:3q5lkpw7]you[/i:3q5lkpw7] supposed to be the intellect? I\'m running rings around you here.&quot;\n\nDaria walked a few yards to where she had thrown her cell phone.  As it wasn\'t working, she simply shined the surface enough to turn it into a (poor) reflecting surface.  She then shoved it a few inches away from Jane/not Jane\'s face.\n\nJane/not Jane grabbed the cell phone out of Daria\'s hand.  &quot;The phone isn\'t working, because you never charge it - AAAAAHHH!!&quot;  Jane/not Jane finally got a good look at her changed form.  &quot;What - that\'s not me!  The face in the mirror!  That\'s not [i:3q5lkpw7]me[/i:3q5lkpw7]!&quot;\n\n&quot;Something happened, Jane,&quot;  Daria said.  &quot;I don\'t know what it is.  But it\'s completely weird.

Her heart pounded; her knees felt weak; her hands were shaking.\n\nDarkness!  Featureless, abyssal darkness!  It pressed in upon her eyes and brain.  She felt the friction from her clothes on her skin, and the light embrace of the small planet\'s gravitation by way of organic resistance from the wooden floor beneath her.  There was nothing to see; nothing but her own breathing and heartbeat to hear; nothing but sudden nervous dry mouth to taste.  These could almost have been phantom sensations, applied to elicit responses from a bodiless entity.  In the unrelieved, blanketing blackness, substance, either human or -- not, seemed a meaningless label.\n\n&quot;I can go three minutes without air; three days without water; three weeks without food,&quot; Daria told herself.  She didn\'t actually feel as hopeless as all that, despite her memory of endless leagues of unmarked tunnels beneath Eldrað Hrafn\'s house.  The air was fine, for starters.  They wouldn\'t have \'set\', or \'attuned\', or whatever the right verb was, their Distorter to a random place in this tree tunnel.  She had to have appeared near to something important, something easily accessible from where she was.\n\nDaria was about to rise to her feet again, when the magnitude of what had happened sank in on her.  She had been on Earth; now, she was on Mars.  She was conscious of no more than a minute having passed since she watched Chair\'s abortive attempt to rescue her.  Of course, that didn\'t prove that more time hadn\'t elapsed while she was in transit.  Did the [i:8haie2t9]c[/i:8haie2t9] limit apply to Distorter transport?  If it did, how could a political unit the size of the Greatest Empire exist?  But, for all she knew, a Distorter could transport her through time as well as space.  Something, it seemed, must have catapulted her seven centuries toward the future from her native era; could that have been the means?\n\nWhat was it that Makkenji had said?  [i:8haie2t9]If two energies can be attuned to a twenty-decimal approximation of similarity, the \'greater\' will bridge the gap to the \'lesser\' as if there were no gap, although the juncture is effected at finite speeds.[/i:8haie2t9]  As far as Daria could tell right then, the \'finite speed\' involved was effectively unlimited.  That would have to be checked, as soon as she could confirm the current date and time.  She wished she had her phone; if nothing else, she could have set the timer going, which would have gathered solider data points than any estimates of hers could match.\n\nBut, yow!  A burst of elation lifted Daria\'s spirits as she stood up.  No wonder Distorters were so important to Enro!  With a monopoly on their supply, maybe he [i:8haie2t9]could[/i:8haie2t9] dominate the Galaxy.  But he didn\'t control that supply yet -- and never would, if her posse had their way!\n\nAnd then it occurred to her, &quot;I wanted to get to Mars, anyway! The Empire\'s accidentally done me a favour!&quot;  She felt her mood lift higher.  Despite her earlier sense that she had been stagnating whilst she\'d been on Earth, she was still learning, still progressing.  She had found out many things, and what she didn\'t know suddenly felt attainable.  She had but to refine her mental models by another decimal place or two, and the veil would be rent asunder, leaving fundamental reality exposed to her probing will!  Hawt dang!  \n\nAlas, much easier said than done.  Each of those decimal points she\'d just waved her hand at so blithely represented an order of magnitude of precision -- the kind of advance that could employ a generation of physicists armed with billions of dollars, and which always found more new puzzles than it resolved.  She\'d best not pump her confidence too high -- even the assumption that she was near some important location carried the corollary that just standing where she was put her in danger of discovery.  \n\nThat thought prompted a cortical-thalamic pause, calming her as she considered what her situation implied.  The Distorter that brought her here had been \'set\' to interfere with the Games Machine.  Any destinations to which it was attuned could either be relics of previous usage -- or traps.  Her first-blush analysis had assumed the former case, but what about the second, more ominous possibility?  She couldn\'t see any way to -- \n\nWait, maybe she did!  Down on her hands and knees, she reached forward for the Distorter.  Cautiously, her fingers felt around it, and touched each of the four corner tubes, in turn.  It was the fourth tube which had been, which [i:8haie2t9]still was,[/i:8haie2t9] depressed.  \n\nThis Distorter\'s \'ground state,\' with no tubes depressed, seemingly was configured to stupefy the Games Machine.  By engaging the tube she had, she\'d altered the device to a different state, which displayed different behaviour.  Daria pressed and turned that same tube, raising it to its former relative position, unsure whether to hope or fear as she did so that it might return her whence she had come.\n\nFor a tense moment she froze, but nothing seemed to happen.  As before, an almost subliminal susurration sang through her nerves at the device\'s nearness, but she sensed no change in its music.\n\nThat left three tubes left to try, if she needed to find a quick exit.  She had no clue where any of them might take her, maybe out of the Solar System entirely, but that was a different problem.\n\nThe potentialities were intriguing, but hanging around where she was, experimenting, had to be a weak plan.  The sooner she got away from here, the better!  Nobody had sworn to her that only one Distorter could be attuned to a given destination -- in fact, it seemed certain that an unlimited number could be -- and nobody had given her an idea of what she could expect to happen if something else got \'similarised\' to a spot while she still occupied it.  That could turn out to be a bummer.\n\nDaria picked up the ungainly instrument and tried to find a relatively comfortable way she could wrangle it around.  Even on Earth, it hadn\'t had a huge weight; still, its inertial behaviour was a little confusing, and it was too bulky for her to find a convenient handhold.  The best solution seemed to be to walk with the object centred atop her head.  She could move fairly freely that way, even though she\'d have to put it down before she could operate on any tubes.  Anyway, she could tolerate this for a while.\n\nExploration by touch seemed to tell her that she was in a straight stretch of tunnel, rather than a many-branched crossroads.  &quot;I\'ll go a thousand paces in one direction; then return and try a thousand the other way,&quot; Daria decided.  That should bring her within hailing distance of the Imperial centre near her \'landing\' point.  It wouldn\'t be much farther away than that -- if, of course, it existed at all.\n\nAs far as she could see, which way to try first was a random pick.  Luck, whether good or bad, was with her on the first trip; after she rounded a sharp turn at about the three hundred metre mark, she saw a glimmer of light ahead.  \n\nRound three more bends, the glow, though bright, now, and dead ahead, still seemed sourceless.  Daria saw a railing, silhouetted against the light, and tried to prop the Distorter against the farther wall, but was defeated by the floor\'s curvature in that stretch.  She left it where it slid, ducked down low, and scrambled cautiously forward to peer between the bars of the fence.\n\nThere was a metal pit below her.  The metal gleamed dully from myriads of brilliant light-emitting nodes set closely in the titanic, downcurving walls.  The pit looked about three and a quarter kilometres long, half that in width, perhaps four fifths of a klick deep.  \n\nOccupying half of the pit\'s far end, widthwise, was a spaceship.  It was a ship such as Solar engineers might have hallucinated about, upon going loopy after weeks of poring over hundred-metre schematics for normal, Sol-system spacecraft.  \n\nThe ship in the pit was almost as long as the pit could hold, but less than half as wide.  Its ridged back peaked up like a Carcharodon\'s dorsal fin, to within thirty metres of the roof.  Its hugeness notwithstanding, the great vessel presented a scorched, blistered, damaged appearance.  This was a ship of war, which had seen hard action.\n\n&quot;But I called these guys \'low-tech!\'&quot; Daria subvocalised, shaking her head.  She felt her confidence, which so recently threatened to swell too overweeningly, take a palpable hit.  How could she fight the operations of a Galaxy-spanning power that could build warships like this?  You might as well set one beaver against the Grand Coulee Dam!\n\nBut there was no turning back for her.  Daria\'s [i:8haie2t9]alea[/i:8haie2t9] had been [i:8haie2t9]jacta[/i:8haie2t9]ed long since.\n\nA kilometre\'s distance obscured some details from her gaze, but nevertheless Daria could see small figures swarming on the metal under the great belly of the ship.  They seemed to be in close contact with more shipyard works below the floor; every so often, freight lifts which must have been colossal bore materials up to the visible level, whereupon they were swarmed by parties of workers, minuscule at the distance.  Daria couldn\'t make out what the workers were doing, but the scope of their labours was obvious, and impressive.\n\nDaria realised with a start that they seemed to be preparing to leave at once, even as repair operations came to a conclusion.  Minute dark figures were clambering up the steps into the ship, by hundreds, then dozens, then one by one the inevitable stragglers.  And then there were none.  \n\nA distant pulse of sound had been coming from them, movements, whispers of conversation which she couldn\'t make out.  Were any of them speaking Earthly languages?  She couldn\'t tell.  But at last silence reigned in the vastness of the pit.  The several gangways were retracted.  \n\nDaria waited.\n\n[i:8haie2t9]It must be night, outside,[/i:8haie2t9] she reckoned.  Surely, it would have to be dark to move around an object like that ship -- by itself, it was bigger than almost any city on Mars.  In a moment, they\'d roll back the roof, or however it was done.  There\'d be a meadow above, to camouflage the hangars below.  It would be pushed up, or slid over, or something.  Maybe, in all that movement, she could find her way out of here.  \n\nThere wasn\'t much Daria could do by herself against a spaceyard this size; she had to get away, connect up with local null-As, and devise a plan with them.\n\nAs she watched, the light-emitting nodes turned off in the pit.  \n\nThat fitted.  It wouldn\'t do to have an enormous artificial beacon advertise your secret night launches, after all.  Sensitive detectors must be probing the skies overhead even now, to make sure no potentially hostile craft were present to witness their liftoff.\n\nBut then it was the ship that became active, not the roof.  The ship began to glow with a weak greenish-purplish radiance that seemed to highlight every square centimetre, yet remained so dim that Earth\'s moonlight would have swamped the glow completely.  And it started to shimmer. \n\nAbruptly there was a pain behind Daria\'s eyes.  [i:8haie2t9]Don\'t tell me the roof doesn\'t open at all![/i:8haie2t9] she thought, but once the possibility occurred to her, that was obviously the way it had to be.  \n\nThe ship was being attuned directly to another base, probably in some other star system.\n\nAs swiftly as it had begun, her weird feeling of spatial and temporal strain vanished away.  The weak greenish-purplish nimbus went with it -- and the mighty ship was gone.  Curiously, there was no sudden vacuum-generated gust of wind.  That struck Daria as very odd indeed.\n\nBelow, in the pit, four banks of light-emitting nodes came back on, leaving many times that number still darkened.  Those four provided a harsh, actinic radiance to objects nearby, but this was not sufficient to dispel the pit\'s native darkness in the vast areas between them.  Many hectares in the centre were left completely in shadow.\n\nTwo more minutes of looking spotted no watchmen\'s torches, nor any sign that there was anyone in the vicinity to catch sight of her.  If she dithered long enough, though, someone would be sure to patrol the area.  They were military; that\'s a thing they do.\n\nDaria balanced the Distorter on her head, as before, and walked along with a very even pace.  This wouldn\'t hurt her posture, at any rate.  She began to follow the railing around the edge of the pit -- somewhere along here, there had to be a way out of this maze of subarean tunnels -- a stairway, an elevator, a rope ladder, [i:8haie2t9]something.[/i:8haie2t9]\n\nWhat she found looked like a row of elevator shafts.  Two of them apparently had elevators in them.  The door mechanism of the first one opened for Daria as if it had been waiting for her touch, but the control apparatus inside it turned out to be more alien than she\'d expected.  There was a bank of tubes, not a panel of control buttons.  Her heart sank as she realised that it was a Distorter-type teleportation unit.  It wouldn\'t just go up and down -- it might take her anywhere.\n\nThirteen tubes.  Daria shook her head glumly for a second, then bent forward to examine them.  She was relieved to notice that each tube was shaped to point in a different direction.  Only one of them pointed straight up.  She wanted to go up, so that one had to be her choice.  If it took her straight into some dungeon of Vitale\'s, contrary to her expectation, well, those were the breaks.  She couldn\'t stay here. \n\nHer fingers worked the jig mounting of the tube, and pressed it down.  This time, Daria tried to watch the transition, but the same curious anaesthesia that had slowed her thoughts while the Distorter brought her to Mars did so this time, as well.  She missed the moment; somehow, she was just -- someplace else.\n\nShe seemed to be in an upper level of one of the fabulous tree structures, but it had a rough, unfinished look about it.  Beyond the elevator\'s transparent door was an unpolished \'room\' appearing not far removed from its natural state.  It was very uneven, and seemed to be all dark corners, its surface marred with many nodules and projections.  Parts of the floor might as well have been strewn with caltrops.  There wasn\'t a stick of furniture or equipment to be seen.  \n\nThe source of the dim, diffuse light was a small, irregular hole, higher up.  That was the only credible objective in sight, unless she wanted to risk another destination tube.\n\nDaria stashed the Distorter in an out-of-the-way corner, and started to climb silently up toward the hole.  The surface trended up more and more steeply, and narrowed steadily.  She\'d never be able to get the bulky instrument through this patch; it just wouldn\'t fit, no matter what she found when she reached the hole.  That was a disappointment, but she decided that she couldn\'t let it stop her.  Once she joined up with the Martians, a task team could come back for the Distorter, if they decided that they wanted it.\n\nDuring the final leg of the climb, she had to advance mainly by arm power, reaching from ledges to cracks.  The edges of both were riddled with dry rot, adding to her fun.  This kind of climb without any equipment would have been grueling or impossible on Earth.  Even in Mars\' less onerous gravity field, she had to pay close attention.\n\nDaria finally emerged midway to the top of a lower limb on a colossal redwood-stock \'type C\', through a hole not much more than wide enough to let her body through.  Sure enough:  no possible way the Distorter could squeeze through that, even if she could get it up there.  It was a natural-looking hole, apparently unworked by any sort of tools.  \n\nOne thing was definite:  she hadn\'t come out of some disused part of Hrafn\'s treehouse.  That house was oaken.  But what could have possessed the enemy to attune an expensive transport system to such an obviously marginal destination?  Had the tube pointing upward been a booby trap, after all?  \n\nThat would bite.  But no point in worrying about it now.  \n\nDaria had to be able to lead a party of Martians back here, so she needed a clear picture of where she was.  Perhaps confirming one of her earlier wild guesses, there was a great meadow off to one side, punctuating a mostly wooded area.  It probably was right over the spaceyard pit, if she really had come straight up.  That was a very good landmark.  \n\nAnother of her guesses, fortunately, didn\'t stand up so well.  It was daylight, apparently a little after sunrise.  She had light.  The trace she could see of rosy-fingered dawn told her about where east was, and the rest of the compass came with it.  \n\n[i:8haie2t9]Approximately.[/i:8haie2t9]  Daria quirked up a corner of her mouth at that, remembering a T-shirt her man Friday had given her, long before.  It proclaimed her BORN TO QUIBBLE.  That was she, to a T.  Then it struck her.  [i:8haie2t9]Huh.  My man Friday?[/i:8haie2t9] Alas, that dangling trail of association ended right there, and it was the wrong time to ruminate about it.  Oh, well: another partial memory puzzle for her list.\n\nDaria picked out her landmarks, then started along the broad limb, away from its parent tree.  About seventy metres from the trunk, it crossed an almost equally massive limb from another tree, and she crossed over to that one.  It offered her better footing, so she began running.   \n\nRunning wasn\'t usually her thing, but in this place and time, Daria let herself thrill to the thalamic pleasure of it.  Moving swiftly through trees was a joy deeply tattooed into all catarrhine DNA.  The Martians must indulge in it often, for the pure fun of it.  She might as well enjoy it herself, while she could.  She\'d stay aloft this way for about for about eight klicks, unless the forest ended first, and then --\n\nShe\'d gone about sixteen metres along that limb when the bark collapsed under her feet.  She fell down onto a floor.  At once, the trap door closed above her, and she was in darkness, but she had other things on her mind -- the floor beneath her began to roll smoothly on a pivot, tilting ever more sharply.  Desperately, she leaped up toward the closed trap door, but she had no footing.  Her fingers brushed the trap door\'s smooth inner surface, but there was nothing to grab, and she fell short.  When she came down, it rolled the pivot beyond ninety degrees. There was nothing for her to grab at that level, either, so down she went, and the booby trap smoothly closed above her.  No wobble to it; obviously it was powered. \n\nDaria didn\'t fall that far -- maybe eleven metres, not enough of a fall to hurt her, on Mars -- but she was trapped, like a bug in a jar.  She rose to her feet in the darkness, and raged.  How she longed for eyeballs to gouge, or larynges to shatter!   But everything had seemed automatic.  Just pivoted traps, barely powered at all.  As if by main force, she pulled herself into a cortical-thalamic pause, and [i:8haie2t9]thought.[/i:8haie2t9]\n\nThe fact that there were such traps at all was alarming by itself.  Alarms were lighting up somebody\'s board.  Calls were already being made.  If there were a way out, she\'d better find it quickly!\n\nShe dropped to her knees, and made a rapid but relaxed sweep of over the floor.  To the left, she touched a rug.  She crawled over the rug, and quickly touched an armoire, a writing desk, a reclining chair, and a bed.  A bedroom had to have a light!  \n\nExploration found a rheostat switch on the wall that clicked and turned under her touch.  Soothing indirect light rose from the darkness, about five minutes after Daria had fallen through the trap door, and she got her first look at her cell.\n\nNot too bad, but kind of girly for her taste.  There were twin beds, in a coral-pink alcove opening onto a large living room even more palatial than Hrafn\'s.  The owner of this house had obviously retained a very different designer, one less to Daria\'s liking.  There were plenty of posh-looking framed two-dimensional images on the walls, but she couldn\'t stop to look at them, --\n\n-- Because there was a door, and she heard the sound of a key turning in the lock.\n\nDaria rushed forward, silently.  She wasn\'t armed; the only slim chance she saw was to smash whomever came through the door, take his weapons, and then -- guess.  For that to work, she\'d have to stay just behind the door, as it opened inward....\n\nBut it was an armed robot drone that rolled through the door.  No way to knock it out, and its gun was [i:8haie2t9]part of it.[/i:8haie2t9]  Daria\'s optimism, small to begin with, decayed further.\n\nThe drone immediately came around the door at her.  Evidently it simply perceived her there.  [b:8haie2t9]&quot;Intruder!  Drop all weapons!  Surrender at once or be exterminated!&quot;[/b:8haie2t9]  blared the drone, in a harsh, high artificial voice.

FYI, I define \'country\' as as a geographic area, controlled by a central authority. So you\'re correct in saying that by my definition, the U.K. isn\'t a nation. By my definition, it\'s a country, made up of small nations annexed by their most agressive neighbour. The same holds true for Germany, Italy, France, the Russian Federation and the U.S. Why do you think grubbyments expend so much effort to promote a \'national identity\'? It\'s to paper over the differences amongst the anexed nations and unite them under one \'flag\'.

What do you think?[/quote:1o1lxq0m]\nI think that the principles listed, apply equally as well to integration as they do to Multiculturalism. Integration would achieve the same implied goals. A policy of integration brings all the benefits of other cultures - food, music, literature, art, science, philosophy - but filters out the stuff we\'d prefer they left behind - conflicts, grudges, female circumcision, feuds, extremism. Multiculturalism hoovers it all up and empties it in our laps.\n\nWhy does a person desire to emigrate to another country if not because they see greater value in the that society, than in the one they\'re leaving. Invasion? Occupation? Are the \'social engineers\' in our society trying to make a \'better man\'? A noble goal but the fate of the Soviet Union should be an object lesson in how successful [i:1o1lxq0m]that[/i:1o1lxq0m] experiment is likely to be. This isn\'t about bigotry at an individual or community level; I see it as a direct attack on our right to self-determination. Take a look at recent events in Egypt and those still unfolding around that region. What grubbyments fear most is a population, [i:1o1lxq0m]united[/i:1o1lxq0m] in a cause not managed by them. Multiculturalism looks to me like an effective strategy to ensure the population remains divided against itself. \n\nI think that Multiculturalism will play out like that other failed social experiment - Prohibition; Forced on society by a noisy but influential minority (with \'good intentions\') but eventually abandoned as unworkable thanks to all the unintended consequences and leaving behind a lasting legacy of harm.','9f9ad74b6927aecac320454959db5166',0,'oA==','1o1lxq0m',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461410,31743,6,1074,0,'68.110.0.146',1297849317,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The Road to Is It \'Mania Yet?

Thanks for sharing it (and thanks for being the kind of person who looks out for others...we need more people like that!).\n\nYou know, where I grew up, people were a lot more likely to help out a stranger. Since moving to the East Coast, I\'ve noticed a definite difference in people\'s willingness to help others. I\'ve noticed the same change in myself, too. I don\'t know if it\'s because I\'ve gradually adopted the same &quot;stay out of it&quot; attitude or if it\'s more related to not wanting to get involved to preserve my own safety. \n\nEither way, there are certain instances where I cannot let something go without stepping in, and seeing a lost child is one of them. Awhile back, Mike and I came across a scared, crying little boy running around the parking lot of a Target. It was dark out and he was running around frantically looking for his parents. I was so afraid he was going to get hit by a car, there was no way I could just walk away from that (once I figured out he was crying...at first I just thought he was playing and figured his parents were nearby). We took him back into the store and they paged his parents over the loudspeaker. Even though he was with the people at the service desk, we didn\'t leave him until his parents came, and tried to calm him down (even though I admittedly didn\'t know what to say...he was so distraught...he thought he was never going to see his parents again, poor thing!) I just couldn\'t leave him. His parents finally came, and everything was alright. I just wonder how many people saw him in the parking lot and walked right on by because &quot;well, it\'s not MY problem.&quot;\n\nKem','6f65860ca2242acfb96244263cfb9bee',0,'gA==','1nrdykgk',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461456,31949,3,276,0,'198.180.240.201',1297877558,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: What would Feynman do?','[quote=&quot;Brother Grimace&quot;:180ppts3][quote=&quot;rglovejoy&quot;:180ppts3][quote=&quot;Deref&quot;:180ppts3]If this was an attempt to recruit smart people, it demonstrably failed in supertankers full.[/quote:180ppts3]\nThe flaw in this interview model is that the interviewer often has not thought out the problem thoroughly.

At least, it went well for the girls.  Ms. Barch spent at least the first fifteen minutes singing the praises of her enlightened sisters, encouraging them in their fight against the suppression of the female form.  Those few girls who hadn\'t already stripped did so in the face of the teacher\'s impassioned speech.\n\nThe boys of the class, of course, fared less well.  Many of them who had been nude before hastily changed back into their clothes before going through the door.  The only two that didn\'t got an equal but far less complimentary earful as the girls as Barch unleashed a gale of anger and poison regarding how just because men had those [i:4ely905o]things[/i:4ely905o], they thought it was okay to wave them about wherever they felt like it.\n\nStill, once the class let out, everyone clothed peeled down the second they stepped out the door.\n\nThe Fashion Club and the rest of their classmates started filtering into the cafeteria, which had just opened up for the freshman/junior lunch period.  The moment they stepped through the wide double doors, they were shocked by the sight before them.\n\nWhat looked to be just over half of the entire crowd within was nude.  It was mostly the club\'s fellow juniors, but a few cheeky freshmen could also be seen chillin\' with their Briscos out.  A small knot of teachers assigned to watch over the throng were standing in the corner looking as if they knew they should be doing something, but they weren\'t sure exactly what that something could possibly be since they were so completely outnumbered.\n\nThe lunch ladies didn\'t seem to give a flip and continued replacing food on the counter as if everything was completely normal.\n\n&quot;Woooooooow,&quot; Tiffany breathed.\n\n&quot;Yes, wow indeed,&quot; Sandi agreed, trying her best to keep her composure.  &quot;It would appear our plan has been something of a success.&quot;\n\n&quot;That\'s, like, an understatement,&quot; said Quinn.  &quot;I just wonder what-&quot;\n\nWhatever it was Quinn wondered, she never got a chance to let the others know.  As soon as people in the cafeteria had realized that the Fashion Club had entered, they started to get up from their seats and crowd around the four girls in a rabid, naked display of fanatical glee.\n\n&quot;You guys rock!&quot; one girl squealed.\n\n&quot;Fight the power!  FIGHT THE POWER!&quot; a green-haired punk yelled, pumping his fist in the air.\n\n&quot;How did you come up with such a great idea?!&quot;\n\n&quot;Teenage nudity for the win!&quot;\n\n&quot;We love you, Sandi!  EEEEEEE!&quot;\n\n&quot;Do you have any other fashion tips?!&quot;\n\n&quot;Body glitter, in or out?!&quot;\n\n&quot;I love your freckles!  Who\'s your designer?!&quot;\n\nThe constant stream of attention made the girls feel like rock stars, suffusing them with the energy that only intense attention could give.  This feeling was short-lived, however, as things seemed to start boiling to a head.\n\n&quot;Um, Sandi?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes, Quinn?&quot;\n\nQuinn waved her fingers nervously at the crowd and asked, &quot;Does it seem a little . . . [i:4ely905o]crowded[/i:4ely905o] in here to you?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes,&quot; the other girl said.  &quot;It does seem to be getting a little hard to breathe.  Defensive mode beta and move to the nearest available raised surface!&quot;\n\nMoving as one, the four girls turned to put their backs against each other, forming a small defensive ring with their arms linked.  Being paragons of popularity as it was, the club had long ago set up several plans to deal with various situations where that popularity could go wrong.  Dealing with overeager crowds was, naturally, the second strategy on their list.\n\n&quot;\'Scuse us, \'scuse me, please make way,&quot; Stacy said, running a constant litany as she pushed forward with the other girls being pulled along behind her.  Having the strongest leg muscles in the group, she had been chosen to act as the spearhead in case she had to kick at anyone that didn\'t get out of the way.  When that decision had been made during the strategy\'s original planning stages, she had thought it was a way of letting her know she had thunder thighs.\n\nIt had taken nearly a week to get her to calm down after that one.\n\nAs soon as they reached the nearest table, Stacy carefully led them all up, where they unlocked arms and stood shoulder to shoulder in a unified front.  The crowd washed around the table like an ocean washing around an island.  Sandi waited until they were pretty much settled, then banged the heel of her foot against the tabletop until everyone fell silent.\n\n&quot;Hello, students of Lawndale High,&quot; she called out, holding her hands high.  &quot;I\'m sure that many of you have, like, heard many different reasons for why we - and by extension [i:4ely905o]you[/i:4ely905o] - are now completely nude.  We of the Fashion Club began by promoting it as the newest sense of style!  A fashion that anyone could afford!  An outfit that would fit all sizes!  A little number that would always catch the eye and look good on anybody!\n\n&quot;It has grown beyond that, and we, like, totally understand!  As a fashion, it is also a [i:4ely905o]statement[/i:4ely905o], and one that can mean whatever you want it to mean!  But regardless of our philosophies, we must never forget our roots or whatever!  So if everyone will calm down and take your seats, we are going to celebrate those roots by putting on a fashion show for you!  Would you like that?&quot;\n\nA resoundingly positive cry erupted from the audience.  Sandi smiled, snapped her fingers, and pointed at a few nearby tables.  Some strapping young lads from the crowd responded immediately, pushing all of the tables together as other students removed the food trays from the tops.  Within moments, a makeshift catwalk had been formed in the middle of the cafeteria.\n\nAs an enterprising young volunteer from the freshman class sat at the edge and MCed the event, Tiffany stalked across the tables like a graceful animal, showing off her every curve as if it were the hautest of couture from the very heart of Paris\' fashion district.\n\n&quot;Great idea, Sandi!&quot; Stacy gushed as they waited their turn.\n\n&quot;Yah, I have to admit, you seem to have the audience all calmed down,&quot; Quinn said, sounding as impressed as she was surprised.\n\n&quot;Yes, well, I am not the president of the Fashion Club for nothing,&quot; Sandi said with a haughty toss of her hair.  The edges of her mouth curled up a bit, however, as she felt some actual, non-competition related pride at Quinn complimenting her work.\n\nShe began to wonder if the lack of clothing was turning her soft.  She\'d have to keep an eye on that.\n\nAfter all four of them had taken their little turn on the catwalk, the Fashion Club stepped down and opened the runway to any and all takers while they escaped to get something to eat.  Boys and girls alike of all shapes, sizes, and body types jumped up on the stage for their turn as the MC cheerfully described their varying styles with gusto.\n\nThe teachers, meanwhile, seemed to be cycling through bewilderment, annoyance at the table-walking, relief that the whole thing hadn\'t turned into a riot, and then back to bewilderment again.\n\nLike all things, lunch period had to come to an end.  The fashion show finally broke up when the bell rang and everyone moved to discard the contents of their trays as they went back out to face the drudgery of academia.

He made a show of going through his notes (one was just “OH GOD” written over and over).\n \n“Well, we’re almost certainly going to have a lawsuit from Daria Morgendorffer’s family, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to claim this has been blown out of proportion. I would advise that one of your coaches” (he made finger-quotes) “‘resigns to avoid bringing disrepute to the school’. This will, of course, mean paying them off-“\n \n“Oh, no need, I’ve got blackmail material on both of them,” laughed Li.\n \nMurdoch covered his ears. “LALALALALALALALALA.” He uncovered them. “Once that gesture is done, you’ll need to get through the district’s internal investigation, which [i:9culvccb]certainly does not mean cutting a deal[/i:9culvccb] COUGH COUGH anyway. Then we’ll need to think of a defence for the Morgendorffer suit...” He took a deep breath. “Ms Li – [i:9culvccb]Angela[/i:9culvccb] – the best way out may be to claim a mistake was made and apologise-“\n\nLi looked like a Knight Templar who’d walked into a multi-faiths orgy. “[i:9culvccb]NEVER.[/i:9culvccb]”\n \n“We’ll really struggle to find another-“\n \n[i:9culvccb]”NEVER!”[/i:9culvccb]\n \nHe sighed. [i:9culvccb]Fine, they’re paying for it.[/i:9culvccb] “All right.  We should be alright as long as nothing [i:9culvccb]else[/i:9culvccb] slips out, but unless any of the faculty are inclined to blab...

And if I DON’T?”\n \n“Then my client will have no choice but to fire you for the recorded theft of valuable school production infrastructure equipment.”\n \nThe teacher worked this out. “You mean the POST-IT notes?”\n \n“It counts as theft. Precedent from the Janet Bradley VS GeneriCorp 2002 case. Nobody ever [i:9culvccb]proved[/i:9culvccb] GeneriCorp gave that judge a car.”\n \nAnthony DeMartino smiled a terrible, unbrushed smile. “VERY well.” He took the paper and signed it, then casually held up his mobile phone, which was still in the middle of a call. “Oh, I DO beg your PARDON, but I forgot to TURN MY PHONE off when you CALLED.” Into the phone: “SORRY, Mr Sun-Herald reporter, but I can NO lonGER... OHH!! You’d like to TALK to MR FORD?”\n \n----\n \nTrent woke up five minutes before the Spiral were due to start a live pay-per-view web concert, and made an executive decision that a shower could wait. Luckily, he hadn’t changed for bed, so that was a bit of time saved. He lurched off the couch, yawning slightly, and nodded at the waiting forms of his band-mates (he needed to get some locks).\n \nWhen the doorbell rang, he frowned and went over to see who it was. To his shock, it was Ms Morris from his old school.\n \n“[i:9culvccb]Whoa.[/i:9culvccb] Ummm, I appreciate the gesture, but I think it’d be a bit too weird if you were one of our groupies.”\n \nMorris bit down an angry retort and smiled a fake smile: “Hello, is Jane in?”\n \n“I... think so.” Trent shut the door, went upstairs, peeked his head into Jane’s room, said “hey”, came back down, and opened the door. “Yeah, she’s in.”\n \nMorris waited. So did Trent.\n \n“I’d like to [i:9culvccb]talk[/i:9culvccb] to Jane.”\n \n“Ohhhhh.”\n \nJane came to the door, her face unreadable, her mouth chewing away at gummi bears. The teacher gave her another fake smile; Jane opened her mouth so she could see what chewed-up candy looked like.\n \n“Jane. I, er, aheh, about that whole ‘then I’ll flunk you’ thing, things were said in the heat of the moment that neither of us meant – not that I’m trying to dismiss things you said! No, no, no...” Seeing that wasn’t working, she said: “I’ll give you five hundred bucks if you deny the allegations.”\n \nMystic Spiral began to thunder in the background: the song was Hey Mister Normal but Trent was singing “GYM GYM GYM – IT RHYMES WITH [b:9culvccb]SIN!![/b:9culvccb]”.\n \n“You’re offering me five hundred to tell everyone my best friend is a liar,” said Jane. “I’m sure nothing bad will happen to her as a result. Now tell me more about these bridges you have for sale.”\n \n“If you support the school, the school will owe you [i:9culvccb]and so will every student in sports.[/i:9culvccb]” Morris looked Jane right in the eye, nodding slightly as the words registered. “They’ll know you could have ruined them and you didn’t. They’ll all owe you. And you’ll have a reputation as the girl who has everyone’s back. A [i:9culvccb]popular[/i:9culvccb] girl.”\n \nJane was silent for a while. In the background, Trent yelled “I SAY GYM CAN GO IN THE BIN!” (with Jesse chiming in with “Hey Mister Normal – IT WAS YOU!” on instinct). Finally, she said: “That’s a nice carrot. What’s the stick?”\n \n“You [i:9culvccb]know[/i:9culvccb] what the stick is. I know you don’t want what’s coming. You had [i:9culvccb]promise[/i:9culvccb], Jane, you could’ve gone far and still can, you can [i:9culvccb]easily[/i:9culvccb] be popular when the other kids start looking past your loner image – don’t let Daria drag you down.”\n \n“Don’t hang out with losers, right?”\n \nMorris almost said “exactly”, but stopped herself: that sounded like a trap. “You can go far, Jane. It’s all in your grasp. And I’ll go with [i:9culvccb]six[/i:9culvccb] hundred.”\n \nJane breathed in and closed her eyes. \n \nThen she shut the door.\n \n[i:9culvccb]I should have said seven hundred,[/i:9culvccb] thought Morris.\n \n---\n \nMurdoch and his team had set up an ‘operations room’, complete with a whiteboard laying out all the problems and how they interlinked. In the corner of the board was a little stick figure and a cloud of cartoon swearing.\n \n“First’s first,” said Murdoch. “Marianne?”\n \n“[i:9culvccb]Everything[/i:9culvccb] in our power is being done to stop Eric Schrecter from hearing this case exists.”\n \n“Thank Christ. Next up: we need to prepare an entrapment case against DeMartino, finish an injunction on the Sun-Herald and send a big crate of wine to the judge who’ll be hearing it, prepare a defence against the Morgendorffers, prepare a secondary defence for when Lawndale High boots a coach, work out a [i:9culvccb]plausible[/i:9culvccb] case for Li and the school district...”\n \nAnother lawyer raised a hand. “Foggy, about that: Superintendent Cartwright is desperate for a meeting tomorrow.”\n \n“On a Sunday? But all good people are in church then!”\nAll the lawyers had a good hearty laugh.\n \n“Haha, but seriously, schedule him in.” Murdoch thought for a second. “And most importantly of all...”\n\n“OVERTIME AND EXPENSES!” they cried happily.\n \n[i:9culvccb]Now, if things don’t get any worse...[/i:9culvccb]\n \n---\n \nA bored CNN News Aggregate Technician (Weekend Shift) clicked through the next local news website on his list. “Huh. School corruption scandal. Involves football.”\n \n“[i:9culvccb]Football?[/i:9culvccb] Better pass it up to the news team.”\n \nWithin ten minutes, CNN had decided this story could be used. Within an hour, MSNBC had heard about it via their mole in the secretarial staff, BBC World Service had heard about it after getting a CNN hack drunk, and Fox News had heard after their man nicked a document through an open window. Within two hours, two dozen big-name citizen journalism blogs – including education news blog Brick In The Wall and anarchist journo Subversion is We – had found out and hurriedly copied &amp; pasted from other websites and/or each other. \n \n---\n \nSunday: Ms Li, clad in her dressing gown and pyjamas, opened the door to collect the milk, yawned, and took in the dozens of cameras and microphones being jabbed her way.\n \n“Code Red security violation – USE THE TASERS!” screamed Ms Li, before remembering she wasn’t at school. “Erm. I mean... [i:9culvccb]no comment![/i:9culvccb]”\n \n---\n \nSteve’s phone rang, disturbing him from his day of rest (and his dream about the naked ladies). Yawning, he picked up the phone: “Mrrr?”\n \n“Mr... Steve, this is Sheila Hunter from NBC – I understand you’re the head of security at Lawndale High” (the interns had searched on Facebook) “and we’d like to know about the techniques and equipment used-“\n \n“Oh. Hang on. Ms Li gave us something about what we should say if you guys called.” He sifted through mounds of porn, beer cans, and a copy of Ulysses, and found it. “Oh yeah, hang on: ‘I have no comment to make, except that we follow the full letter of the law and are committed to providing a secure learning environment.’”\n \n“Thank you.”\n \nSteve put the phone down, then saw another part of Li’s document, highlighted in red: “Don’t tell ANYONE you’ve been told what to say.”\n \n“Aw crap.” \n \n----\n \nDaria had just reached the good part where Hunter Thompson found out that violent, thuggish biker gangs might take your stuff without asking, when her phone rang. “This is Europe – is that London calling?”\n \n“Even better, it’s me,” replied Tom. “But speaking of reports to Nazi-occupied states, [i:9culvccb]our school is on the news.[/i:9culvccb]”\n \n“Which news network?”\n \n“[i:9culvccb]All of them.[/i:9culvccb] They have reporters camped outside Ms Li’s house! They’re reporting that nothing’s happened there yet!”\n \nDaria paled. “You know that scene in Fantasia, where Mickey realises he’s lost control and the mops will just keep going on and on?”\n \n“Oh. Sorry, I thought you’d be happy about this.”\n \n“I’m... I’m kinda worried what’s going to happen at school. It might be better if you or Jane stay away from a day or two.”\n \n“Whoops, sorry, didn’t hear that. Line went fuzzy. Anyway, see you tomorrow.”\n \nDara smiled. “Sure.” \n \nThe instant he hung up, the phone went again: Jane. \n\n“Daria, I just saw the news! School will be [i:9culvccb]besieged[/i:9culvccb] with cameras! And [i:9culvccb]that[/i:9culvccb] means Trent will pay you ten bucks to wear a Mystik Spiral T-shirt on Monday and display yourself prominently!”\n \n“Hmmm. Okay-“\n \nJake burst in through the door, grinning madly and holding a T-shirt: “Daria! I’ll give you ten bucks if you wear a Mystik Spiral T-shirt to school tomorrow! Man oh MAN, this will be a marketing BLITZ and no one has to sell out! HAVE ANOTHER TEN BUCKS FOR THE HELP, KIDDO!!”\n \nAfter he left, Quinn: “Daria, you’ll wear this Mystik Spiral T-shirt and I’ll give you ten bucks, and if you don’t I’ll set fire to your stuff. Trent will see [i:9culvccb]I’m[/i:9culvccb] more supportive of his band than that... that Monique twat!”\n \nDaria took the T-shirt and money, and went back to the phone: “Jane, things are looking up already.”\n \n---\n \nMurdoch’s meeting with Superintendent Cartwright had gone badly. The client kept bursting into tears. Murdoch felt a bit embarrassed patting a grown man on the back and saying “there, there”.\n \nAs he returned to his team, all looking shell-shocked by the escalation of things, he burst out with: “Right, no more playing catch-up, it’s time we went for the big guns! [i:9culvccb]Contact Mr Vitale.[/i:9culvccb]”\n \nThe team looked at him, horrified. “Disturb him... at [i:9culvccb]home?[/i:9culvccb]” whimpered a junior associate.\n \n“Hmm. Point.

There is a risk of failure in everything - and trying to justify a proven method of birth control and STD prevention because of the very low possibility of failure (and usually, the failure is cause by improper use) is just sad.\n\n[color=#004000:2bcwnd34]These arguments would be a lot cleaner, BG, if you\'d kindly stop assuming what I say and stick to what\'s on the page.[/color:2bcwnd34]\n\n\n[quote=&quot;HolyGrail2007&quot;:2bcwnd34] Most Republicans don\'t care a whit about sex itself [/quote:2bcwnd34]\n\nWhat Raskolnikov said.\n\n\n[quote=&quot;HolyGrail2007&quot;:2bcwnd34] it\'s when pregnancy arises that creates a slew of problems.[/quote:2bcwnd34]\n\n\nYes, perhaps - but unless it\'s a pregnancy that you\'re responsible for, [b:2bcwnd34]it\'s not [u:2bcwnd34]your[/u:2bcwnd34] problem.[/b:2bcwnd34] Keep your damn nose out of other people\'s private lives unless they ask for your \'assistance\' or \'guidance\' on the matter of their personal lives and family matters.\n\n[color=#004000:2bcwnd34]Au contraire, BG, that runs contrary to the purpose of law in general: They tell us what we can and can\'t do even if it\'s our lives or not. When it was determined that murder was wrong, I wasn\'t even remotely alive, was I? Despite this, I couldn\'t murder someone and say it\'s no one\'s business to prosecute me. Why should I use it here? Is a fetus not human? Genetics proves this to be true. Is it not a separate person? Genetics again. An abortion ends a life (and yes, a fetus is alive), so they should be punished. That simple.[/color:2bcwnd34]\n\nOh, and if you want to whine that it is because \'your tax dollars are going to take care of the child through welfare\', then I kindly point you back to abortion as an option for those individuals who simply cannot afford to bring a child into the world and care for it properly, if at all. Also, don\'t point to adoption; in the United States, most children stay in the foster system because the majority of people adopting want [i:2bcwnd34]infants[/i:2bcwnd34] - and even then, predominantly of a certain race, hair and eye color. The rest of those children grow up living lives without the love of parents, siblings or any sort of family whatsoever; people who are anti-abortion uniformly fail to to consider that if the children are to be brought into this world, they something has to be done to help them become healthy, normal children and then adults.\n\n[color=#004000:2bcwnd34]You\'re assuming that these children will not be &quot;perfectly normal&quot; otherwise. There\'s plenty of evidence that shows most folks adjust fairly well. I agree that adoption is not the best option, but between that and death, the better choice is obvious.[/color:2bcwnd34]\n\nThe pro-lifers always say \'Children are living human beings from the moment of conception\' - then damnit, prove it by showing some concern for those living human beings AFTER they are born, and doing something for the ones in foster care [b:2bcwnd34]now[/b:2bcwnd34] before you start talking about the ones who aren\'t even conceived or born yet![/quote:2bcwnd34]\n\n[color=#004000:2bcwnd34]Considering that abortion is a matter of life and death, it seems their priorities are in order.

All of that noise that you hear when you fry something is the sound of the water in your food turning into steam and escaping.  The same goes for those bubbles in the deep fryer - that\'s actually water vapor that is rising, not oil in a gaseous form.[/quote:29kcd17l]\n\n\nStill, you gotta admit that my answer would work - and, it would annoy, because it circumvents what he\'s saying while still answering the question.  <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D -->','83e246d81fbd7c288bdc4cb59372d4c1',0,'wA==','29kcd17l',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461482,31960,5,1108,0,'86.164.205.82',1297880957,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Billy Ray Cyrus: It\'s all the atheist\'s fault!','Atheists United?

A policy of integration brings all the benefits of other cultures - food, music, literature, art, science, philosophy - but filters out the stuff we\'d prefer they left behind - conflicts, grudges, female circumcision, feuds, extremism. Multiculturalism hoovers it all up and empties it in our laps.\n\nWhy does a person desire to emigrate to another country if not because they see greater value in the that society, than in the one they\'re leaving. Invasion? Occupation? Are the \'social engineers\' in our society trying to make a \'better man\'? A noble goal but the fate of the Soviet Union should be an object lesson in how successful [i:3kkgc84x]that[/i:3kkgc84x] experiment is likely to be. This isn\'t about bigotry at an individual or community level; I see it as a direct attack on our right to self-determination. Take a look at recent events in Egypt and those still unfolding around that region. What grubbyments fear most is a population, [i:3kkgc84x]united[/i:3kkgc84x] in a cause not managed by them. Multiculturalism looks to me like an effective strategy to ensure the population remains divided against itself. \n\nI think that Multiculturalism will play out like that other failed social experiment - Prohibition; Forced on society by a noisy but influential minority (with \'good intentions\') but eventually abandoned as unworkable thanks to all the unintended consequences and leaving behind a lasting legacy of harm.[/quote:3kkgc84x]Obviously you think there is a difference between \'multiculturalism\' and \'integration\'.

Why should I use it here? Is a fetus not human? Genetics proves this to be true. Is it not a separate person? Genetics again. An abortion ends a life (and yes, a fetus is alive), so they should be punished. That simple.[/quote:38l8br5l]\n\nWell, hello XIII century! Seriously, you will have a hard time looking for more demagogy per square inch. First of all, that\'s not law\'s purpose. Law\'s purpose is to maintain social peace. Several behaviour are considered to be against that same order and peace, and therefore society deems them as undesirable. And, funny thing, some American, and later, French dudes with wigs (they were a teensy bit ridiculous, really, but I\'ve got to admit they were pretty sharp) decided a couple hundred years ago, that, oh, golly! people should have the right to privacy and that no one should mess with it! My, my, who could have thought [i:38l8br5l]that[/i:38l8br5l]? And, in case you don\'t know that, that\'s why the State needs to have a [i:38l8br5l]very good reason[/i:38l8br5l] to interfere in other\'s people lifes. Like, the suspicion  of that rupture of the social peace. Last time I looked, abortion wasn\'t a crime in most part of the Western world. Therefore, since there is no crime, neither the State nor should [i:38l8br5l]you[/i:38l8br5l] interfere with that people\'s life.\n\nAh, but it is a CRIME, you say. Though it doesn\'t appear in the law\'s code, it is, isn\'t it? Because you\'re killing another human being. Another human being apart! Who\'s growing! And is defenseless! Won\'t someboyd please think of the children?\n\nI\'ve got a better idea. Why don\'t we ask the mother if she wants to have the baby? It\'s pretty easy to be anti-abortion knowing that you are never going to carry a baby in your bowels for nine months, knowing that it will turn your system and figure into shit, and that you\'ll have to expel it in a long, gruesome, and painful operation, that, if you have the misfortune to be born in the wrong country, has a high probability of killing you. And let\'s not talk about the responsability that encompases the upbringing of a child, a responsability that many people aren\'t up to. One of the greatest problems of the world is that people want so hard to have babies that they don\'t stop to think if they should. Anyway, I\'m disgressing. So, don\'t you think that the receiver of that responsability should have a saying over if she can live up to it, or even if she wants to have it?\n\nWhat? What do I hear over there? &quot;A fetus is another human being apart and the mother don\'t have the right to decide over its life and/or death&quot;. Well, let me quote an old acquaintance of me that expressed it much more eloquently. &quot;Nature decided many years ago when a fetus turns into a human being: after nine goddamn months. Don\'t try to be smarter&quot;. Until it exits from the woman\'s sacred hole, it is the extension of an organ, an sprout of the woman\'s own cells. Until it exits the womb, the fetus is part of the woman\'s body, period. In essence, it\'s no different than a bloody tumor, with the difference that the cells are foreign, and babies have better PR. So basically, no, until birth a fetus is NOT another independent human being. And yes, the mother has the right to decide what to do with it because until it has grown enough, it\'s very literally a part of her body.\n\nSo please, don\'t come all ABORTION IZ MARDAH!!!!1!1!11!1!!!!11! to us, please.

So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving, which is unlikely.. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let\'s look at the different religions that exist in the world today.  \n\n\n Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle\'s Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.\n\nThis gives two possibilities:  \n\n\n  1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.  \n\n  2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.  \n\nSo which is it?  \n\nIf we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, \'It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,\' and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct..... ....leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting \'Oh my God.\' \n\n THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+.

My boss, in whose name this statement was released, was a lifelong pacifist, a devout Mennonite who has, for decades, unfailingly opposed all forms of violence. And as a good Mennonite, his rhetoric too was always studiously nonviolent -- peaceable to the point of blandness, actually.\n\nBut at the same time we were drafting and issuing this statement, I was reading dozens of similar statements from other evangelical groups whose rhetoric had never been marked by anything like my boss\'s Mennonite pacifism. These were groups that routinely spoke of abortion as &quot;murder&quot; or &quot;mass-murder,&quot; and that routinely spoke of legalized abortion as an &quot;American Holocaust.&quot; They had, for years, been using precisely the same rhetoric and making exactly the same arguments that Paul Hill was now using to attempt to justify his double homicide.\n\nThose groups\' condemnations of Paul Hill then -- like their condemnations of Scott Roeder now -- ring hollow. Such condemnations seem to be self-refuting. How can they condemn men like Hill or Roeder just for taking their own arguments seriously?\n\nPaul Hill argued that abortion was the moral equivalent of the Nazi Holocaust -- just like the National Right to Life Committee, the Southern Baptist Convention, the Christian Coalition, Focus on the Family and dozens of other evangelical groups said it was. If that\'s true, Hill said, then he wasn\'t merely justified, but obligated to take up arms against abortionists. If you\'re confronted with an evil equal in magnitude to that of Adolf Hitler -- as all these groups insisted was the case -- then surely one is obliged to do more than vote Republican every four years in the hopes of one day appointing enough judges to change the law of the land. Confronted with what all of these groups assured him was the Holocaust, he decided to become Claus von Stauffenberg.\n\nYet when Hill repeated their own argument and their own rhetoric back to them, these groups all recoiled. They all claimed to share Hill\'s premise, but not to share his conclusion. That won\'t work. Hill\'s violent conclusion arose logically from that shared premise. If he was a madman to be condemned -- as all those groups suddenly insisted he was -- it was because of the madness of that premise. So how was it possible they could repudiate him without also repudiating that rhetoric that compelled him to act?\n\nWhat I realized then, in 1994, as I watched these groups line up to condemn violence against &quot;mass-murderers&quot; and to renounce armed opposition to &quot;the Holocaust,&quot; was that these folks didn\'t really mean any of it. They were horrified by the spectacle of someone taking their own rhetoric and arguments seriously. &quot;We don\'t really mean anything we say,&quot; these groups rushed to announce. &quot;We don\'t really believe any of that.&quot;\n\nAnd since they no longer bothered to claim they believed it, I stopped trying to believe it too.[/quote:yfhjbkpd]','048d9fa022b451d73f1e57d8479736dc',0,'kA==','yfhjbkpd',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461548,31954,10,1108,0,'86.164.205.82',1297896891,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Draw thread!','Good lord.

It\'s quite possible I might in the case of rape because I think that would be the kindest to the child (and the very act might cause me to reconsider as well). I know there have been kids who found out they were the products of rape and it ruined their life, sometimes driving them to suicide. (And from a Christian PoV they\'d be better off dead from abortion than suicide.)\n\nI don\'t speak for all women of course. And I can think of something that I believe would be more traumatic for me than having an abortion: to have the state decide to restrain me for my own child\'s good in the case of rape or other reason to fear for my child and ruin my life forcing me to have that child. (And I don\'t simply refer to having as child as life ruining--though it can be in of itself--I mean more the months lost in restraints that destroy income, shelter, reputation, friendships, etc, and possibly bad medicine and a bill to boot, all of which would make it even worse once the child was actually born. And many who experienced that would make their child pay. And can you imagine if many pro-lifers got their way and destroyed welfare to single mothers on top of that?)\n\nAnother thing that would almost certainly happen if pro-lifers got their way is that miscarriages would be investigated as possible murders, with already traumatized people being interrogated and tested. Of course they would. Just look at every other thing (like the war of drugs) the government interferes in, going way over the top with asshole officers. They advance through convictions and go to extreme lengths to get them.\n\nAnd I wouldn\'t be surprised if it went the way of Communist Romania if pro-lifers had their way with women who don\'t conceive even being tested to make sure they haven\'t had illegal abortions (and taxing them for not having children, too). I\'m not saying they\'re pushing for that yet, but if they got what they were after this would be next. We already pee in a cup because of the war on some drugs.\n\nI see no way to reconcile being for liberty while waging a war for the unborn at the same time. But even that aside pro-lifers in general seek to destroy liberty and impose their beliefs on everyone else in other ways, too, so it\'s not like it\'s really a conflict for them.','fa1388665fb9639b07118c0d7d4bc66d',0,'','1yy5d5g8',1,1297907435,'',251,2,0),(461580,31949,3,89,0,'67.189.212.82',1297903412,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: What would Feynman do?','[b:1osm9alh]imagine two spheres of [i:1osm9alh]identical size and weight[/i:1osm9alh], but that one of them is [i:1osm9alh]hollow[/i:1osm9alh].

He slammed down the shot of cheap vodka that was sitting on the table and said, &quot;Dammit!&quot;\n\nWalking away from the phone, Helen sighed and said, &quot;You\'re not going to find any new clients.

I\'d better start working on a smaller budget.&quot;\n\n\n\n\nJake pulled a videotape out of the player and it trailed a crumpled strip of tape back into where it was caught in the VHS player.  &quot;Damn, stupid 99 cent video rentals!&quot; he shouted and yanked on the tape, pulling the player out and causing it to fall.\n\n&quot;No, you don\'t!&quot; Jake dove for the machine and managed to catch it before bashing his head against the TV stand.  &quot;Ow!&quot;\n\nSeated on the sofa, Daria and Quinn watched in tired resignation, a single bag of microwave popcorn between them.  &quot;It\'s okay, Daddy,&quot; Quinn said.  &quot;We can see it next time.&quot;\n\n&quot;Are you going to need some ice for that?&quot; Daria said\n\nRubbing the bump on his head, Jake said, &quot;Ow.&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'ll get some ice from the fridge, Dad,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;Just a minute.&quot;\n\n&quot;Ow.&quot;\n\nQuinn picked up the bag and offered it to Jake.  &quot;Popcorn?&quot;\n\n&quot;Thanks, Quinn,&quot; Jake said, reaching for the treat.\n\n&quot;I think you could use it more than I do.&quot;\n\n&quot;Not much of a Saturday night, is it?&quot;\n\n&quot;It beats most of the alternatives in this town,&quot; Daria said, returning with some ice wrapped in a dishcloth.  &quot;Here.&quot;\n\nJake placed the ice on his head and said, &quot;Thanks, kiddo.&quot;\n\n&quot;Sure thing, Dad.&quot;  Daria took a handful of popcorn and sat back down on the sofa.  \n\n&quot;Since the movie is shot, I guess we can talk about what\'s up with you,&quot; Jake said.\n\nDaria shrugged.  &quot;Not much.

Cowboy boots, hat on a rack behind him, and a large, ornate silver buckle on his belt.

You know that I would vote to make you a partner in a minute, but, you know how some of the other guys can be about women-folk.&quot;\n\nHelen struggled to hold back her anger.  &quot;I can guess.&quot;\n\n&quot;I can put all of this forward, but I can\'t promise anything.&quot;\n\nHelen nodded.  &quot;Thank you, Mr. Baylor.&quot;\n\n&quot;Now, I\'ve got to go.  You can\'t keep Judge Wallace waiting at the golf course.  Keep up the good work, Helen.&quot;\n\n&quot;I will,&quot; Helen said as she backed out of the office.

When the group passes by a door marked, “For Employees Only”, the Titans slip inside. Hilary Dorff leads the way down the maze of dimly lit hallways and stairwells.)\n\nHilary Dorff: (stopping the group) We’re here.\n\nRaven: OK, just like we planned.  Daria, (who is putting a receiver into her ear) just turn the corner here and walk to the end of the passage.  When you reach the end, there will be a security guard there.  Staci will coach you on what to say to convince the security guard to open the door.  And now for the final touch.  (Raven places a blonde wig on Daria.)\n\nDaria: Are you sure this is going to work?\n\nRaven: Yes. On that show, Miley turns into pop idol Rina Argentina by putting on her blonde wig. When she does, nobody can tell that they are the same person. For some reason, according to the wardrobe physics here at Nisdey, when men see a woman with a blonde wig, they put down their guard and assume they are talking to a celebrity pop idol.  So by logical extension, if you wear a blonde wig, nobody can penetrate your disguise and realize who you really are. It’s a sure fire plan.\n\nDaria: But I don’t even look like Miley Cyprus.\n\nRaven: Details, details.

They don\'t sell them in Europe. Their baby bustin\' pills are all on the metric system and s***.\n\nSecurity Guard: Of course.  How’s the tour going?\n\nDaria: (repeating after Staci) Well, we\'re making a lot of money, but I ain’t allowed in the UK no more after they got a hold of that photograph of me making fun of Asians by pulling my eyes back to make ‘em all slanty.\n\nSecurity Guard: Well, you have to be more careful. But at least you were more discrete this time.\n\nDaria: (repeating after Staci): Yeah, not like that time I went out on stage in Adelaide in blackface.\n\nSecurity Guard: Well, I’m sorry about what happened to your friends, Dummi Lovato and Lindsay Lowhands and Zak Ephraim. I know you were all very close.\n\nDaria: (repeating after Staci): I know. Ain’t it a bitch? Now I’ll have to make my own God damned drug contacts.  \n\nSecurity Guard: And your dad. Is he doing OK?\n\nDaria: (repeating after Staci) I guess you heard that he threw out his back something fierce in Berlin.  He’s doing better. That voodoo universal medical care they got in Germany patched him up real nice. I was just surprised that when we done got into the hospital that there wasn\'t a bunch of Mexicans waiting around in the emergency room, ya know, like they do at the Home Depot.\n\nSecurity Guard: Why would there be Mexicans in Germany?\n\nDaria: (repeating after Staci): Well duh! \'Cause Glenn Beck done said that Mexicans love free medical care. Either that or using free medical care will turn you into a Mexican. I ain\'t too good at payin\' attention.\n\nSecurity Guard: Oh really? I thought that was a cover story.

Get his attention somehow. Don\'t let him use his radio! He\'s going to call for backup!\n\nDaria: Ummm… Ummm… (pulls down her shirt)\n\nSecurity Guard: (exasperated) Oh Miley, not this again.\n\n(The Security Guard drops to the ground after a karate chop from behind by Joe Biden.

Group Health\'s medical costs rose more than 16% while Blue Cross of Idaho saw a 12.9% increase in medical expenses in that period.\n\nWeiss\' study was based on mandatory data on medical expenses that health insurers provide to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. \n\nAmerica\'s Health Insurance Plan, the trade group of health insurers, was not immediately available to comment on the report.\n\n[/quote:10ec5bi1]','9378bd0008c3073dec166aed1e23bf2a',0,'wA==','10ec5bi1',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461628,31958,6,305,0,'200.114.121.240',1297912350,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: HG\'s Next Extravaganza','Hmmm.

But they only fired their rifles into the air, suggesting that Libyan troops are wary of killing fellow citizens. This, observers say, could mean that a lengthy, Egyptian-style mass occupation could spell the end of Mr. Gadhafi’s “Great Socialist People\'s Arab Jamahiriya,” as he calls his regime.\n\nBut observers note that Mr. Gadhafi has been able to organize his regime and his military in ways designed to avoid the crises that have swept the leaders of Tunisia and Egypt out of power after relatively short periods of protest this year. \n\nFor one thing, the Libyan leader, known for his flamboyant dress and personal style but also for living in tents in the style of Bedouin tribesmen, has successfully manipulated his country’s tribal rivalries to create a balance of power within the military and the state that tends to dampen opposition. \n\n“It’s quite different from the way Egypt and Tunisia are,” Dr. Vandewalle said. “First of all, there’s a pervasive security apparatus, but also those apparatuses are really plugged into the leaders of tribes that Gadhafi has been able to manipulate quite deftly to prevent a wholesale uprising.” \n\nAnd, he said, the cult of personality has deep roots. “Libyans are quite conscious that there is great wastage going on and no real democracy at all, despite the pretensions of the regime, I think there is a sense of grudging admiration among many Libyans at what the regime has accomplished. Remember, this wasn’t really a country at all 40 years ago.” \n\nAlso, Libya is comparatively free from the widespread corruption that infuriated protesters in Tunisia. While Mr. Gadhafi’s sons – who are his presumed heirs to the presidency – lead lives of luxury in European hotels and mansions filled with exotic animals in the Libyan desert, there is little sense that the country is a kleptocracy designed mainly to enrich the ruling elite, as was the case with the regime in next-door Tunisia led by Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. \n\nMr. Gadhafi has showered his citizens with oil wealth, creating one of the highest living standards in Africa. So while there is high unemployment and few opportunities for entrepreneurship or advancement, the most obvious sources of mass discontent have been bought off in an artificial economy meant to make the country’s eccentric leader look like a benevolent father figure. \n\nGiven that, Thursday’s protests could turn into something larger than anyone expects, and unseat another regime. Or they could be a literal day of rage, destined to be a footnote in a season of revolutions. \n\n“Our argument has always been that Libya is very different from Tunisia and Egypt because they have got the money to buy off people,” Charles Gurdon, a Libya expert with Menas Associates, told Reuters Wednesday. “Having said that, after Tunisia people said that Egypt would not be the same – a lot will depend on how heavy-handed the security forces are.” \n [/quote:13fmxwrz]','402c400e95ce6bf0f3334e03f9cf37e4',0,'kA==','13fmxwrz',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461631,31966,3,414,0,'24.147.138.173',1297913287,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: An oldie but a goodie...','That\'s a classic! <!-- s:mrgreen: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mrgreen.gif\" alt=\":mrgreen:\" title=\"Mr. Green\" /><!-- s:mrgreen: -->  <!-- s:lol: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif\" alt=\":lol:\" title=\"Laughing\" /><!-- s:lol: -->','b0ccb0fc5f868f2a11efd3fef020a525',0,'','1zt2437k',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461632,31958,6,757,0,'89.181.7.169',1297913401,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: HG\'s Next Extravaganza','Dear HG:\n\nI\'ve just voted.

Timothy, unused to hard liquor, sipped his slowly.\n“I’m not surprised, Anthony. After all, I [i:1k2pxbi6]hit[/i:1k2pxbi6] a student! Our district has very clear policies on that matter.” Another sip. “It’s not a complete loss. I’ve already accepted a job offer at another school, where corporal punishment is allowed on a case-by-case basis. Not that I enjoy hitting my students, but sometimes they really deserve it, you know?”\nAnthony refilled the glasses. “I don’t understand you, Timothy. You’re always so ‘touchy-feely’ and crap like that. Where did all this come from?”\n“I’ve been bottling up my feelings for a long time, Anthony,” Timothy sighed. “Finally letting them out makes me feel like a whole new man,” Timothy said, throwing down the shot and making a face. “You’re sure you don’t have anything a bit softer?” he gasped.\nAnthony tossed him a wine cooler. “Have a chaser,” he said with a grin. “Where is this school you’ve been hired at, anyway?”\n“Highland, Texas. They say that there are two students who they hope I can help. Hard luck cases, I guess.”\nAnthony chuckled. “How did Janet take the news?”\n“Who says I told her?” said Timothy as both men shared a laugh.\n\n\n\nAngela Li sat in her office at Lawndale High, reading a letter from the Superintendent that she had already memorized.\n\n[i:1k2pxbi6]Principal Li,\nDue to the observations I made during recent inspections of your school, I am writing to inform you that you are to be removed as the Principal of Lawndale High, pending an investigation into accusations of grade-fixing, misappropriation of school funds, and embezzlement.

With that thought in mind, she pulled a snub-nosed revolver from her desk drawer, placed it to her temple, and pulled the trigger.\n\n\n\nIn the Morgendorffer living room, the echo from the gunshot was still ringing as Eric fell to the floor, clutching his stomach. He dropped his gun and let out a scream of agony.\nJane lowered her sister’s pistol and felt her hands start to tremble.\n“Jane! Where did you get that gun?!” Quinn screamed.\n“My sister Penny left it for me. With Trent’s narcolepsy and my parents always globe-trotting, she didn’t want me to be defenseless. I went back for it when I saw the news earlier.”\nJake came running down the stairs, dialing 911 as he went. Helen was trying to comfort Eric.\n“It’ll be ok, Eric. We’ll tell the police it was an accident, and you can show them the evidence you have at your house that proves you didn’t do it, and everything will be ok again.”\n“Helen, you’ve got to get me to a hospital, one that won’t turn me in. Please, Helen. You know I’m innocent, you’ve got to help me,” he gasped, clenching his teeth against the pain.\nJake was busy on the phone. “Yes, 911? I’ve got a man here in my house who’s been shot in the stomach. His name is Eric Schrecter, and our address is 1111 Glen Oaks Lane. Yes, in the stomach. He was pointing a gun at me, but someone else shot him first.”\n“No!” yelled Eric, reaching for Jake in desperation. Just as he grabbed Jake’s pant leg, Helen snatched the phone and hung it up.\n“Jake, stop it! Eric needs our help! Someone accused him of doing this to Daria, and it’s up to us to clear his name!” Her eyes were wide with panic and adrenaline.\n“Jake, I would never do something like this to Daria, you know that!”\n“Just like you’d never try to seduce my wife when I wasn’t here?!” Jake bellowed and stomped his foot down on Eric’s hand hard. Ignoring his scream of pain, Jake heard sirens in the distance. “Sounds like the ambulance is almost here.”\nThe door flew open a moment later, and in stormed three police officers.\n“Hands up! All of you!”\nAs they raised their hands\n[b:1k2pxbi6]BANG![/b:1k2pxbi6]\nAnother gunshot sounded out, and Jane fell to the floor. Having forgotten about the pistol in her hand, Jane had raised it without thinking and the police officer had reacted without thinking. Daria caught her as she fell, trying to stop the flow of blood from Jane’s chest with her hands. “Somebody help!” Daria screamed hysterically.\n\nThat night, at the hospital, Daria sat alone in a waiting room. A police officer had informed her that Eric had survived and was being held in a secure wing until he could be moved. Her mother, on the other hand, was tied to a hospital bed with three IVs in her arms as the doctors tried to purge her system of whatever drug Eric had used to make her so gullible. It appeared she had been getting dosed with it for some time, and the communal coffee pot at the law firm was the prime theory for how it was delivered to her.\nTry as she might, Daria hadn’t gotten any news about Jane since she was wheeled in for emergency surgery. Jake and Quinn had stayed by Helen’s side, and Stacy had refused to leave Quinn. Daria, grateful for the opportunity to be away from them, found her mind wandering through her memories.\nAs she thought about all the good times she’d had with Jane, she felt herself slide to the floor, her legs curled beneath herself. [i:1k2pxbi6]What the hell, why not?[/i:1k2pxbi6] She thought to herself.\n[i:1k2pxbi6]I don’t really know who you are, or if you’re listening, or even if you exist, but if you do, please don’t take Jane away from me. I can’t live without her.[/i:1k2pxbi6]\nShe got off the floor, feeling tears form in the corners of her eyes. She paced for another hour, then fell to her knees once more.\n[i:1k2pxbi6]Like I said, I don’t know if you’re there, but please, if she’s going to…not be here anymore, take me too. Please.[/i:1k2pxbi6]\nOpening her eyes, she saw a nurse standing in the entryway of the waiting room.\n“Sorry, I didn’t want to disturb you,” she said with a small smile. “I just wanted you to know that your friend made it through surgery. She’s asking about you.” Daria got to her feet, but the nurse stopped her on the wait out the door. “The doctor says she might still not make it. I’m sorry, but….I thought you should know.”\nDaria rushed to Jane’s bedside and grabbed her hand. “Hey,” she said, fighting back tears.\n“Hey, amiga,” Jane said weakly. “I’m glad you’re ok.”\nThey sat in silence, holding hands, for several minutes, until Jane said, “Daria, if I don’t make it…..”\n“Shut up, Lane,” Daria said, biting her lip to keep the tears from falling.\n“Daria, listen. Trent…he’ll take this pretty bad….take care of him, will you?”\n“Jane, don’t do this to me. Please.”\nJane’s grip weakened in Daria’s hand.\n“Jane, come on. Don’t do this.”\n“I….love you…..amiga…” Jane said faintly, closing her eyes. A moment later, a shrill whine sounded in the room, and an orderly dragged Daria out as doctors rushed in.\n\nJane’s funeral was a small affair. Aside from the Morgendorffers, only Trent, Stacy, and a few other students from Lawndale High attended. Mr. DeMartino was present, tears in his eyes as he helped Daria carry the coffin from the hearse to the gravesite. A priest had volunteered his services for the ceremony, but few paid any attention to his words.\nDespite all attempts, no one had managed to get contact with any of the Wandering Lanes. Answering machines and motel reception desks would have to suffice for the time being.\nSlowly, the small crowd diminished. Jodie and Mack offered Daria silent condolences, and Brittany managed to squeak out that she was sorry about what had happened. Finally, Daria was left alone at the graveside. Sighing, she sat down next to the headstone.\n“It was a pretty boring service, truth to tell you, Jane. I’m almost glad you missed it.” A moment of silence. “I never got to thank you, did I? For being my friend, I mean. Damn it, Lane, you’ve got me all choked up,” Daria chuckled slightly as tears began to fall. “I’m really going to miss you. And don’t worry, I promise you I’ll take care of Trent. And not that way, you perv. I love you, Jane.” She sat for another moment, then got up and walked away.\n\n\nEric’s trial was a long, drawn out affair, which Daria was forced to sit through. The lack of physical evidence, along with the fact that Daria had no clear memories of her rape held the prosecution back at first, but Eric soon found that there was no escaping the other charges heaped on him: Murder, attempted murder and resisting arrest. He received a life sentence, but only served three weeks in prison. His body was found stabbed to death on the basketball court.\n\nThree days after the news of Eric’s death, Helen was made Partner in the lawfirm. Daria, claiming a headache, remained at home while the family went out for a celebratory dinner. Helen and Jake had reconciled after the reveal that Helen had been drugged by Eric.

Trent\'s grades continued to improve, with the help of Helen, Jake, and Charity.  On his sixteenth birthday, Jake took him to get his driver\'s license.  Despite being extremely nervous, he passed with flying colors.  Helen and Jake made him a deal.  If he finished the year on the honor roll, they would buy him a car.  Trent was stunned at the offer.  Then, he realized something that truly bothered him.  This opportunity would have never occurred if he was still living with his real parents.  Trent knew that with a little more effort, he could make the honor roll.\n\nIn March, both Jane and Quinn won State Writers Awards for their grades.  Jake and Trent built a shelf in each of the girls rooms to place their trophies.  The State Art Fair wasn\'t until May.  Daria\'s teacher submitted two of her works, and despite her love for art, that was not the competition she wanted to win.  It was the one she had not told her family about.  A week earlier, Daria had Jake sign a permission slip to go with the rest of the fifth graders in her chorus class to attend a Junior State Choral Competition.  What she didn\'t tell them was she would be competing with the group and as a soloist.  Daria sat nervously as she waited her turn.  Part of her wanted Trent and the Morgendorffers there, but the other part of her wanted her to do this for herself.  When she stood up on stage, Daria could feel the doubt and insecurity rising inside of her.  She closed her eyes and did the only thing she could do to try to chase those demons away.\n\nHer voice rang out through the tiny audition room.  The more she focused on the song, the less she realized that there were other people in the room.  Mr. Keller stood at the back of the room and smiled.  He thought about the day he and Daria had picked &quot;Fool On The Hill&quot; after school.  Daria was waiting for Jane and Quinn to finish talking to the principal about their writing awards.  Daria roamed the halls until she was next to the chorus room.  She could hear the song playing through the door and liked it.  Knocking on the door, Daria waited for a moment before Mr. Keller let her in.  He replayed the tune and watched as Daria began to mouth the lyrics silently.  Asking him to play it one more time, she began to sing along with the music.  That was when he asked her if she would sing the song at the upcoming competition.  His flashback ended right as she sang the last lyric of the song.  Daria stopped and quickly left the stage.  As long as she sang, Daria was okay on stage.  Once the music stopped, Daria felt the urge to run.\n\nThe group took third overall for the Elementary Schools that entered and Daria placed fourth in the solo competition for the under thirteen group.  That night, when she came home, she placed her trophy next to Jane and her certificate in a frame and sat it on her desk.  Helen and Jake were proud, but upset at first that she hadn\'t told them. Explaining to them that their presence would have made her even more nervous, they understood.  They went out for pizza that night at a little restaurant near Jake\'s office.\n\nInside, the family sat down to celebrate the accomplishments of their three youngest members.  Daria noticed an old time jukebox sitting in the corner.  Daria asked to be excused from the table.  Trent watched as his little sister made her way over to the jukebox.  Daria studied the song list carefully and then went back to the table and asked for a couple of quarters.  Trent pulled fifty cents out of his pocket.  After thanking her brother, she walked back to the jukebox and placed the change inside of it.  Carefully, she typed in the numbers and watched as the forty-five was pulled from it\'s slot and placed on the record player.  Helen and Jake turned towards Daria and smiled as the sounds of the Beatles filled the quiet restaurant.','c85067a90f06045cec637cfa4091295d',0,'QA==','24co24ob',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461649,31952,6,305,0,'200.114.121.240',1297917063,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: God Save The Esteem ep22: Anarchy in the Lawn-D (2)','[quote=&quot;Stripey&quot;:wvhrr919]If Daria/Tom doesb\'t  work out, please hook her up with Steve.[/quote:wvhrr919]\nEwwwwwww.

After all, if that were happening, many good, decent people who only want to worship as they see fit - the first promise made by the U.S. Constitution, remember? - would feel that members of their own faith are in fact the ones bringing down the hostility of the masses down upon their faith... and even worse, make potential new converts think seriously about getting involved with them.\n\n\n\nOf course, that\'s just my opinion.

His temples felt like someone had used a rusty knife to drill holes into them. His mouth was dry and his eyes were sore. And his upper lip was coated with dry blood pouring from his nose. The ground beneath him was hard and cold, like a sidewalk or a drunk tank.\n\n“... oh... damn...”, he mumbled and slowly he sat up. The movement let his stomach rebel in his body and he felt a wave of nausea hit him. Puke was all around him and it seemed to be a wonder that he was not lying in his own barf.\n\nWhat the fuck had happened? He had no idea. The last memory was talking with someone in a strange shop, before his memory refused to work. He felt like he had the worst hangover ever but he could not remember drinking even one beer. Not that he would drink beer, he preferred coke with a shot of jack.\n\n“What the fuck had happened?” he asked himself, knowing that he would not get an answer. There was no one there in the drunk tank except him, something he was thankful for. At least that way no one would see him in this pitiful state. [i:49w05d48]I could swear I hadn\'t drunk anything. Just smoked a bit... a bit more... okay, a lot, but still.[/i:49w05d48]\n\nAnd he didn\'t smell of booze, he would recognize the stench of strong liquor everywhere. And the air was filled with the biting, strong stench of puke, but not the kind that was filled with alcohol; he would recognize that special aroma anywhere. So, what had happened the night before?\n\nHe could not remember doing anything, so it must have been a very wild night. Perhaps he had taken a few roofies, like the guys in the movie “The Hangover”. He checked the room for a tiger. Just to be safe. And then for a baby. Better safe than sorry.\n\nSo, if he had not taken any roofies, then what had happened? And even if he had done that, he would remember taking them; they started working a few minutes after taking them, they did not erase memories from before.\n\nSo what had happened? He did not know of any other drugs that were used in Lawndale that could do this to his head, except perhaps a cocktail of different chemicals. And he knew no one who would do that to him. He knew most drugs in the world that he could get his hands on. And no, he had never experimented with them. He had just done them.\n\nHis musings were interrupted when the heavy door to the cell was opened and an officer stepped in, his face a mask of disgust. “Morning, young man. Finally awake?”\n\nShaggy blinked and tried to sit up, but his arms felt like pudding. “Ouhhh... yeah,” he moaned, something he regretted immediately because his head protested with a heavy pain in his temples. “What... happened?”\n\nThe officer snorted. “Some colleagues of mine found you passed out on Dega Street. Looks like someone had robbed you, you had no money with you nor a drivers license.”\n\nOf course he had no license in his pocket, he didn\'t have one at all, he had never found the time to take it. And of course there was the little fact that he had to be sober and clean for it. For a while at least, and that was a bit too much asked of him.\n\n“Your father\'s here too bring you home,” the young officer informed him and left the drunk tank, not seeing the concerned look on the boys face.\n\n–\n\nWithout a word Shaggy followed his father out of the police station. The two looked nothing alike, one long and lean, the other even bigger but with a big belly and strong arms. And while the hair from the younger one was wild and, well, shaggy, the ones that were left on his father were short and had long since gone gray.\n\nThe old battered truck his father was driving reminded Shaggy of the state his life was in. Bruised, beat down and ready to collapse any minute, but still going on. The red paint was scratched and fell off on some places thanks to the rust, the dampers have long since capitulated and the brakes were... well, better not to think of that.\n\n“Get in, boy.” It was a command, grumbled by the ruff voice of his father, before he mumbled: “Stupid brat.”\n\nWithout a word Shaggy opened the door on the passenger site and climbed in, not bothering to use the seat belt, the buckle was broken. For years now, but no one had ever bothered to repair it. Same about the glove compartment, where a single gun was laying right in front of him. His eyes remained on it and for a second he thought about taking it and just end the whole shit. But first his dad. Then whoever comes to look what happened. And then himself. Would be easy. And fast.\n\nHe heard how the door on his father’s side was closed and how his father settled in his well used driver seat, knowing what would come next. He didn\'t even bother to look at him anymore, he knew it too well and knew it would be best just to let it happen, acting like nothing happened.\n\nA sharp pain shot through his head when his father’s hand connected with his face and his head was thrown back. Tears shot into his eyes but he suppressed them through sheer willpower; if his father saw him show pain he would just hit again and harder. To “toughen him up” as he called it.\n\n“Stupid boy! You know how worried your mother was? Dumb ungrateful brat!” his father yelled at him while he started the car. The younger man did not answer, he know that it was best just to lay low and let him yell and curse, his anger would go away. Eventually. At least faster as if he talked back, that would only enrage him even more. “You\'re as worthless as your uncle and cousin of yours, rotting away in prison.”\n\nThe big bellied, heavily built man snorted and took a swig out of his pocket flask just as he left the police parking loft. “I should have left you there for a few days, maybe that would teach you a lesson, being ass-raped by some nigger, worthless piece of crap.”\n\nAgain he thought about grabbing the gun and just doing it, shooting his father in the head and then himself. He knew that it was loaded, he had once seen how his father had shot a dog after hitting him with the car. There was still some dried dog blood on the radiator grill.\n\n“Always getting into trouble, making the life of your mother and me difficult! We should have had an abortion!”\n\nIt began to look even more inviting every second. He imagined how the blood and brain of his father would splatter against the window, like he had seen in so many movies. Just one little muscle movement, a loud bang and then it would be over. Another one and he would end it for good. Would his mother cry? Perhaps. Standing alone in front of two graves while the Reverend talks bullshit and nonsense about God and forgiveness and all this crap. And then she would go home and drink herself into a stupor. Perhaps.\n\n“Ungrateful brat, look at me when I talk to you!!” his father yelled and grabbed him by the neck, forcing him to look at him. His hand was sweaty and strong, his breath smelled of pizza and old beer, his usual breakfast. His cologne stank, a cheap one from the gas station he imagined. “You even know what sort of trouble you\'re always making boy?!! Do you?!! You cost me money and do nothing for me, fucking rat!!”\n\nHe released him with a powerful shove and Shaggy hit his head against the window on his side of the car. Painfully his headache returned and he inhaled air with a sharp hiss, but other than that, he did not react, he just sat there and said nothing, did nothing, just letting his father curse and yell away, how worthless he was and what a dumb, ungrateful brat he was. He really wished he had a joint right now.\n\nWhen the old battered truck parked in front of the rundown old house they lived in, he saw a bucket of water and some car cleaning utensils standing next to the shining blue Ford Gran Torino, the only clean thing on the whole property. The house looked like it was as drunk and dirty as his father, the truck was scarred and battered like a war veteran, the inside of the house was littered with empty bottles and broken down furniture, the garden was savage. He himself had to buy his clothes himself from the money he made with selling weed, as nearly everything else. But the car was clean and in a top condition.\n\nFigures.\n\nHe climbed out of the truck and walked up to the front door, getting hit on the back of his head when he passed his father. For a moment he thought about turning around and getting the gun from the truck, but his feet were already moving forward without him doing anything.\n\n“Bring me a beer, boy!”\n\nShaggy did not answer; he just opened the door and stepped into the house, the smell of muggy air and cheap liquor attacking his sense of smell immediately. In the living room the TV was running, some soap opera he imagined, and he heard snoring from somewhere, probably his mother who fell asleep in front of the TV. Same old, same old.\n\nHe dodged a few bottles lying on the ground and a stash of old papers, moved into the kitchen and opened the fridge, ignoring the myriads of photos in front of it.\n\n[i:49w05d48]So much for breakfast[/i:49w05d48], he thought when he saw twenty bottles of beer and some long since rotten Chinese takeout. Grabbing two bottles he closed the fridge again and brought them to his father, getting another rant what had took him so long and how worthless he was and that he was under house arrest, before fleeing to his room.\n\nHe closed the door behind him and locked it, before he let himself sink down in front of it. It was dark, the only light coming from the closed louvers. His action figures in the cupboard seemed to mock him with silent superiority and 2Pac looked down at him with disappointment from his place on the wall. For a moment he just sat there, looking down on his hands, listening to his heartbeat and the soft snoring of his mother coming from down the hall, before he punched the ground.\n\nSniffing he buried his head in his tucked up legs and closed the arms around it. [i:49w05d48]Why can\'t I just die? Or them at least.[/i:49w05d48]\n\n–\n\nHe was falling. Unable to hold on to something, he felt how hot air rushed past him and he was falling down, spinning around his own axis. It was pitch black, he was unable to see anything, unable to orient himself and totally unable to do anything, everything he knew was that he was falling.\n\nHe blinked and tried to see something, but there was no light, totally dark around him. Where was he? Why was he falling? He had no idea, no answer to these questions. Faster and faster the air was rushing past him and he was speeding down with more and more momentum, clearly about to hit something with his head onwards. But he saw no ground, no walls no nothing, just darkness that had engulfed him.\n\nSomewhere something was giggling in an inhuman voice. It sounded like a small cat that had smoked too much and was on speed. The next instant he asked himself why he had thought of this image. That was just twisted.\n\n“Khikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikikiki!!”\n\nHe woke up when his alarm clock rang with a shrill sound.\n\n–\n\nWhen Lawndale High was destroyed by a terrorist attack - at least that\'s what it was called although Shaggy always thought it was the reactor of Miss Li\'s special program or something - the students had to be relocated to some other schools until it was rebuilt. Most went to Carter County High, but some, like Kevin Thompson, were sent to Polk High.\n\nSimon Holdt, called Shaggy by almost everyone, was one of this some. At first he was sent to Carter High like his few friends, but after they found drugs in his locker he was expelled. His father had thrashed him after that, breaking his radius in the process.\n\nIn this school there was a clear food chain in the student body, enforced by ruthless individuals and ring leaders, and most of the teachers had no problems ignoring the bullying, the mobs and the chaos, they weren\'t paid enough. Not that anyone could really blame them for thinking like that after years of dealing with lazy, uncaring students and way too much work.\n\nOn top of the social ladder were the football players and the cheerleaders; after them followed the rest of the sports teams, the more successful the higher they were. And then there was a big hole of nothing before finally the rest of the student body came. What\'s left of them at least. Another fitting name for them was “victims”.\n\nFishing his sunglasses out of the toilet, Simon stood up again and suppressed a deep sigh. He really hated these football players, he really did, with the exception of Kevin, god bless the soul of that dumb ox. It was no wonder that he had no love for the team members, considering the fact that he was stuffed into lockers, his head dumped into the toilet and thrown into the trash on a daily basis.\n\nLighting himself a cigarette he shoved his glasses back up his nose, hiding the black eye he had, and walked up to the basin. Taking a few paper towels he dried himself off and inspected his face and hair in the mirror. It wasn\'t something unusual for him; he did this on a daily basis. But at least most of the time they did at least use a clean toilet.\n\n“Fuckers...” he muttered and began to clean his face, at least as good as he was able to.\n\n“Ackackackackackack...”\n\nHe stopped dead in his tracks and turned around, looking for whoever was laughing at him. Only that he saw no one. For a few seconds he kept looking and listening, but he heard nothing and saw nothing.\n\n[i:49w05d48]I\'m having too much stress[/i:49w05d48], he thought and returned to cleaning his face. Finally satisfied with the results he grabbed his backpack, an old worn out piece of crap but at least it was still in one piece, and slung his around his shoulder, leaving the bathroom, flicking his cigarette into the basin.\n\n[i:49w05d48]Sometimes I wish I could do the same to them. Shoving their faces into a toilet and let them eat shit, beating the crap out of them and perhaps have a little make out session with one of their girlfriends.[/i:49w05d48] He watched how a group of giggling fashion dolls walked past him, pointing at him and their giggling became a bit louder. He scowled at them, at least he tried, and looked after them.\n\nThey were dressed to kill, so to say, but he knew how they did their thing. They buy the most scandalous and daring clothes they can get away with, of course using the money of their parents, teasing the boys at school, having fun at the expense of them and later they would roll around on the bed with the so-called popular guys. They enjoyed how guys like him looked when they walked past, knowing just quite well about the power they had over the male mind.\n\n[i:49w05d48]Bitches.[/i:49w05d48]\n\nThe next moment he was thrust aside and staggered against the locker, hitting his head with a loud bang. Warren Bass, liner of the football team and all around asshole, grinned at him and chuckled slightly before he walked away.\n\nClenching the fist at his side Simon threw an angry look after him. [i:49w05d48]Cocksucker.[/i:49w05d48]\n\n–\n\nIt was kind of amusing for Shaggy to know that, although Ms Barch had hated him just because he possessed an Y-Chromosome, he was on top in his science class thanks to her. And he didn\'t even need to study for the tests, he had already heard everything the teacher was throwing at him. Not that he cared, but still, it was ironic in his mind.\n\nAnd thanks to that, his classmates thought of him as a brain. Something that meant to jocks the same as if he carried a sign on his back with “Please torture me” written on it. And if you think of it that way, then it was Ms Barch’s fault that he was laying in the waste container with a sack of kitchen waste on his head. At least it wasn\'t leaking.\n\nHe sighed and took a drag from his cigarette. No sense in climbing out of the container so fast, he hadn\'t anywhere to be, so he took his sweet time with it. At least until he heard a movement in the garbage next to him and he jumped immediately out of his hideout.\n\n[i:49w05d48]Oh, I hate rats.[/i:49w05d48]\n\nLooking if anyone saw him he turned around and began his walk back home. He missed the two pairs of small eyes that looked after him from between the waste in the container. And he also did not hear the laughter.\n\nIt was a shrill, squeaky sound, like when a small cartoon figure was crossed with a tortured cat and fed helium, while in the background someone was scraping rusty forks on a blackboard. The two voices all sounded disturbing, each in its own way, but all seemed to fit perfectly together.\n\n“Tetetetetetetetetetetetetetete...”\n“Ackackackackackacackackack...”\n\n–\n\n“So tell me my young friend: What do you want?”\n\nThe smile of the man asking was quite unnerving and made Shaggy nervous, like it was hiding something sinister and evil behind rows of white, clean teeth. He seemed to be a cross between a piranha and a used car salesman, a dangerous combination.\n\nThe demeanor of the man was frightening, as was his walking stick. The dim metal skull on top of it seemed to grin a cruel, dead grin, as if he was mocking every one who looked at him. And the black, dark eye sockets seemed to bore into the eyes of any onlooker, pulling them in like dark seas of pick blackness. \n\nInwardly Shaggy shuddered and hesitantly took a step back. He felt like he was back at the time when he was eight and his father drunk and angry, cursing and yelling and hitting him before he could break free and hide under his bed. He still had nightmares from that time.\n\nWhat does he want? He could not answer, he did not know the answer to that question. He gulped down a lump in his throat and bit his lower lip, before he tried to hide his nervousness. He thought about the question. What does he want? Money? Success? Talent? He had never thought about this, it had never occurred to him that somebody could ask him such a question.\n\nThen he said the first thing that came into his mind: “Power.”\n\nThe smile seemed to grow even larger, unnaturally large now, and the teeth seemed to shine even brighter. The eye sockets of the skull seemed to glow in an evil green light.\n\nAnd then a sharp, powerful pain shot into Shaggy’s head, like two rusty knifes were driven through his temples right into his brain with brutal force and yanked around. He fell to his knees and heard someone scream before he noticed that it was himself who was screaming. Blood dripped out of his ears and his nose; his eyes were bulging, his body collapsing in a fit of convulsions.\n\n“Think of this as a free sample.”\n\n–\n\nBathed in sweat, Shaggy shot up in his bed, his heart hammering away in his chest, his breathing fast and uncontrolled. His hands were clutching the covers and his eyes were wide open, looking around hastily to orientate himself. He needed a few seconds, before he sank back onto his pillow, his hands closing over his eyes.\n\n[i:49w05d48]I\'m having some very strange dreams lately.[/i:49w05d48] For a moment he just laid there, before he rolled around and grabbed his pack of cigarettes. A smoke would calm him down, he was sure of that. At least his hands would stop shaking so much. With a practiced movement he opened it and took a single cigarette out of the, lighting it in his mouth and taking a deep drag from it. He rolled back onto his back and enjoyed the taste of the smoke in his mouth and the raspy feeling in the lungs, before he blew the smoke out again.\n\nSighing he closed his eyes again, trying to forget the disturbing dream he just had. [i:49w05d48]It seemed so real. And I\'m sure I have seen that guy before.[/i:49w05d48]\n\n“Tetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetete...”\n\nHe opened his left eye and looked to the side where the strange, laughter like sound seemed to come from. In the half darkness he saw... something.\n\nStanding in between his action figures was a small bipedal thing that hadn\'t been there before. It was perhaps eight or nine inches tall, at least a third from that the big eyed head, with two big ears at the side. It had a peach formed body and scrawny arms and legs, ending in long fingers, respective hooves. And it was smiling at him was a big mouth filled with needle like teeth. “Hey jo Boss!!”\n\nHe blinked and took the cigarette out of his mouth, looking to see if it was perhaps one filled with ‘extra ingredients’. No, it was a normal one. He looked back to the small demonic being, standing next to He-Man and the Turtles. He was still there, still grinning at him, his big yellow eyes shining in the darkness like patched of molten lava. And he was waving at him.\n\n“AAAAAHHH!!”\n\nAppalled by the sudden scream, the little demon jumped back, also screaming in his scratchy, squeaky noise. “AAAAAHHHH!!”\n\n“AAAAAHHHH!!!”\n\n“AAAAAHHHH!!!”\n\nAnother little demon jumped down from the top of the shelf, screaming while falling down. “AAAAAHHHH!!!”\n\n“AAAAAHHHH!!!”\n\n“WHY IS BOSS SCREAMING?!! AAAAHHH!!!” screeched the one that has fallen from the shelf, while standing up and shoving Hordak out of the way, taking his staff for himself.\n\n“WHY IS YOU SCREAMING?!! AAAAAHHH!!!” screamed back the other one, swinging the sword from Shredder around in his scrawny little hands.\n\n“YOU IS SCREAMING!!! AAAAHHH!!!”\n\n“CAUTZ BOSS IS SCREAMING!!! AAAAAHHH!!!”\n\n“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!” The two small demons screamed in unison. Shaggy sat at his bed and watched, totally confused.\n\n“SHUT UP!!”\n\n“Sir Boss, yess Boss!” yelled both together and whirled around, saluting him in a sort of mock gesture. The slightly smaller one did it even with the left hand instead of the right.\n\n–\n\nFive minutes and a joint later, he was sitting on the roof of the house, a small bottle of whiskey in his hand, the two small demons sitting next to him. They were shoving each other and giggling in their unnerving voices and mannerisms, hitting each other with a spoon and making a ruckus all around. But they seemed to act more like brothers who were playing rough with each other than like the demons they were, or at least seemed to be.\n\n“So...” Shaggy asked finally and kept his gaze at the Legion Tower, the center of the skyline of Lawndale. Not that it was a very nice looking skyline, the only bright spot was the Tower, standing tall and proud like a castle over a pitiful village full of cattle and scum. And there even was a princess in the tower with raven colored hair and bright red lips. Okay, a whole group of princesses, or at least hot chicks, if you think about it, but Jane had always been his favorite of the Legionnaire girls. \n\nHe forced his mind back onto the right tracks, something that wasn\'t very hard when you\'re sitting next to a pair of miniature demonlings who were fighting and wrestling over a cigarette, and looked down onto his two guests. “So, what are you?”\n\nImmediately the two jumped away from each other and grinned up to him, both their mouths way too big for their too big heads. They were deformed and unshaped, their limbs too small, their bellies too round, their ears seemed to be some sort of wings. Like a pair of plush toys made for children. Some very ugly plush toys with needle like teeth, sharp claws and leathery skin, but still.\n\n“We Impze! Ackackackack!!” answered the right one. He was the one with the big yellow eyes and a scalp full of wiry, dirty green hair. His legs ended in a pair of small hooves that were way too small to withstand the weight of his body, or at least that seemed to be the case, but somehow he was able to stand and move just fine, even if a bit unbalanced. He moved with a drunken grace, like a pirate with a bottle of rum in his hand and on the deck of an old fashioned sailor in a storm.\n\n“Yeah, Impze! Tetetetetete!” confirmed the other one. His eyes were small, not bigger than a one-cent-piece, but glowing as yellow as the one from his partner in crime. And he had no hair on his head or anywhere else on his body, he was totally hairless and his leathery skin had a lighter tone.\n\n“Imps?” asked Shaggy.\n\n“Yeah, Impze Boss! Ackackack!!”\n\n“Boss Boss, tetetete!”\n\n“And why are you calling me boss all the time?”\n\n“You da boss, Boss, tetetetete!”\n\n“Yeah, Boss, ackackackack!”\n\nShaggy sighed. Talking with these two was as frustrating as talking with a wall and more unnerving. “And why am I “Da Boss”?”\n\nBoth Imps looked at him with confusion written all over their faces, looked at each other, then looked back to him. “You da Boss, you da Boss!” the chorused giggling, before they began to jump up and down, still crackling and laughing.\n\nHe suppressed the next sigh and took a swig from his bottle. His father would be enraged if he ever found out that he had stolen his booze, but he would probably just think he had drunk it himself. “Okay, then, what can you do for me?”\n\nIt was a strange question, he knew that, but he was in a strange situation. There were two tiny demons – Imps, he corrected himself - on the roof of his house, dancing around him and hailing him as their Boss. And he wasn\'t even high or drunk, not yet anyway.\n\n“We do as da Boss say! Ackack!”\n\n“Say say Boss, tetetetetete!”\n\n“Like...” he shrugged and thought about it. “When I order you to fill the tank of Warren Bass\' car with sugar, would you just go and do it?”\n\n“Yeah, sugar, tetetetetetetete!”\n\n“Ackackackackackack, tank, tank, yeah Boss, ackackackackack!”\n\nAnd then the two Imps vanished in small, green flames that seemed to engulf them, leaving behind a dumbfounded Simon. “Ummm... okay?”\n\n–\n\nThe next day school was closed because no car in Lawndale was working. It seemed a gang of juvenile pranksters had filled every single tank with sugar and so no teachers were able to reach school, as were the students.\n\nShaggy did not know whether to laugh or to be shocked by this. Sitting in front of the school on the stairs, he lit himself a cigarette and watched how single students arrived or walked back home; some even remained on the parking lot and talked with their friends.\n\n“Hey Shaggy.”\n\nHe looked over the edge of his sunglasses and up to Skylar Feldman, one of the guys from Lawndale High. He was one of the guys too popular to be seen with him and too arrogant to even talk with him, at least when they didn\'t want anything from him. Like now. He sat down next to shaggy and leaned back. “You have a smoke?”\n\n“Hey,” the lean boy answered and pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his backpack. Of course it wasn\'t filled with cigarettes, not anymore, but everybody knew that. He gave it to the popular boy without looking at him and took another drag from his cigarettes.\n\n“Thanks, you\'re the best, man.” With that Skylar jumped up again and left, leaving behind fifty dollars where he had sat. In an instant they wandered into the backpack of Shaggy.\n\n“Whohooow, money, ackackackack.”\n\nHe nearly jumped when he heard that and ripped open his backpack to look inside. There were the two Imps, sitting next to his chemistry book, grinning up to him and looking very satisfied.\n\n“What are you doing there?” he whispered, still a bit shocked about the presence of the two small beings. Now in the light he was able to see them better and could make out some more details. Their skin was rougher than he had thought at first and the hair on the head of the big-eyed one was lighter.\n\n“Job done Boss! Tetetetetetete!”\n\n“Yeah, done done, ackackackackack.”\n\n“You have sabotaged every damn car in all of fucking Lawndale.”\n\n“Not know whut car, ackackack.”\n\n“So all carz, tetetetetete.”\n\nSimon felt the urge to hit his head against something, preferably something hard and heavy like a lamppost. These guys were stupider than even Kevin, something he would have never believed possible. Until now.\n\nSighing he closed his backpack again, ignoring the cries about darkness and the strange laughter, and stood up. Time to move to a more secure location, some of his classmates were already looking funny at him. Even more than normal.\n\nSix minutes later he was sitting on the tribune of the racetrack behind the school and leaned back. The two little Imps hiding under the bench behind him, giggling and shoving each other, acting like the morons that they were.\n\n“Why are you here boys? I mean, why are you not in the... I don\'t know.” He shrugged. “In the, like, Imp-Kingdom.”\n\n“Tetetete, no Kingdom, tetetetetetete.”\n\n“Yeah, no Kingdom, ackackackack.”\n\n“Okay, so there is no Imp-Kingdom. What about a “United States of Imphood”? Or at least a land for you? Or a magic dimension?”\n\n“Ooooooooooooooooohhhh”, said the two Imps in understanding. “Nether-Realm Nether-Realm.” Then they broke out in laughter again.\n\n“Yeah, that. Why aren\'t you there?”\n\n“Nether-Realm boring boring, ackackackackack.”\n\n“Yeah, boring, tetetetetetetetete.”\n\nFigures. “Okay, I can understand that. But why are you here with me? I mean, Lawndale isn\'t interesting either.”\n\n“Boss summon we, tetetetetetetete.”\n\n“Summon, summon, yeah, ackackackack!”\n\nHe raised an eyebrow and looked at them. “I summoned you? How?” He could not remember summoning anything; he didn\'t even understood what they meant with that. But he was sure that if he had done something like that, he would know what they were talking about.\n\nBoth did not answer that, they just looked at him with a questioning look. Finally the bald one said: “You is Boss.”\n\n“Yeah”, confirmed the other one and nodded rigorously. “You is Boss Boss. Ackackackack.”\n\n“Yeah, I know that. But I haven\'t summoned you. I swear, I don\'t know what you\'re talking about.”\n\n“Boss is da biggest Imp, so Boss is Boss, ackackack.”\n\n“I\'m not an Imp.”\n\nBoth Imps began to giggle again, they seemed to be amused by him. “Boss is is Imp. Boss smell like Nether-Realm.”\n\n“Nether-Realm Nether-Realm, tetetetetetete.”\n\n“I\'m not an Imp, so shut up about it. And stop calling me Boss,” he grumbled, clearly unnerved by the antiques of them. “Call me Shaggy.”\n\n“Okay Shakky-Boss, ackackackack.”\n\n“Shakky Shakky Boss Boss, tetetetete.”\n\n“I\'m not your Boss!” He hit the bench over the head of the two tiny beings with his fist. But when he hit it, small green and black flames jumped from his hand and onto the bench. “... fuck.”\n\n“Boss said fuck, tetetetete.”\n\n“Ackackackackack, yeah, fuck, ackackack.”\n\n“Oh, shut up.”\n\n\n[b:49w05d48]To be continued[/b:49w05d48]','6286e6576b7236be8b7b0ff64a46d0d3',0,'ZA==','49w05d48',1,1299024180,'',1172,2,0),(461699,31966,3,1172,0,'95.119.8.78',1297932313,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: An oldie but a goodie...','<!-- s:shock: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif\" alt=\":shock:\" title=\"Shocked\" /><!-- s:shock: -->  <!-- s:? --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif\" alt=\":?\" title=\"Confused\" /><!-- s:? -->  <!-- s:) --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif\" alt=\":)\" title=\"Smile\" /><!-- s:) -->  <!-- s:o --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_surprised.gif\" alt=\":o\" title=\"Surprised\" /><!-- s:o -->  <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D -->  <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D -->  <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D -->  <!-- s:lol: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif\" alt=\":lol:\" title=\"Laughing\" /><!-- s:lol: -->  <!-- s:lol: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif\" alt=\":lol:\" title=\"Laughing\" /><!-- s:lol: -->  <!-- s:lol: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif\" alt=\":lol:\" title=\"Laughing\" /><!-- s:lol: -->  <!-- s:lol: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif\" alt=\":lol:\" title=\"Laughing\" /><!-- s:lol: -->','cc8bc2cba6b2a14ee0b798f9cb9c3a96',0,'','xb8bu7ux',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461700,31956,3,203,0,'121.216.215.221',1297933176,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: CBS reporter Lara Logan attacked in Cairo','[quote=&quot;MartinUK&quot;:1ke5ptl5]I hope she makes a full and rapid recovery.[/quote:1ke5ptl5]\nAs do I.\n\n[quote=&quot;MartinUK&quot;:1ke5ptl5]. . . it might simply have been lascivious thugs finding a blonde in their midst and no police to be seen.[/quote:1ke5ptl5]\nAgreed.

I just can\'t think of one. That aside, this doesn\'t look like a CIA job because they\'d use civillian airlines/couriers, or subs and SEALs. It is possible it was the CIA and they fucked up, given how stupid other organisations have been at times. Feels unlikely though.\n\nStaying with conspiracy theories, politically motivated officers could have deleted content from the manifest or added the kit giving non-existant orders that this was so secret that this couldn\'t be put in an official manifest in order to fuck with Obama\'s presidency some more. Deleting the kit from the list seems more plausible in this theory as it would be harder to figure out who did it and then if it was a complete accident.\n\nThe fact this was in personal luggage makes me wonder what the scope is for this being a complete accident, I\'d expect such materials to be shipped in crates or on pallettes along normal lines if it were going to a police station to equip Argentinian cops, so this don\'t look anything other than suspicious.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMy favourite theory at the moment is gang members have infiltrated the US military or have leverage over members thereof and were trying to support gang operations by smuggling this kit in their luggage, no CIA sanction, no higher ups secretly conspiring, basic every day organised crime.','6fcedc406438ef274c93dbdd226a8272',0,'','mkc2hopd',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461763,31950,4,276,0,'198.180.240.201',1297967916,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: I guess Sharia Law IS in the U.S.','However, there is also a bill to [url=http&#58;//www&#46;blogforchoice&#46;com/archives/2011/02/south-dakota-bi&#46;html:2gaukj8r]force women to sit through an anti-choice lecture before having an abortion[/url:2gaukj8r]','6a602f54290e10b4677cd1c1d21e41d8',0,'EA==','2gaukj8r',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461764,31974,3,305,0,'200.114.121.240',1297968210,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','What?

Every security guard at the school was trying to contain the chaos out front and separate the two groups.\n\n“SAVE MS LI!” yelled Mr Thompson, holding up a pro-sports sign. “JOURNALISTS GO HOME!”\n\n“SAVE MS LI! JOURNALISTS GO HOME!”\n\nNearby, Kevin looked mortified. “My dad’s become a hippie!” he told Brittany.\n\n“Ummm… I didn’t know the hippies were pro-sports.”\n\n“Awww, Britt – [i:2nxx4ktz]everyone’s[/i:2nxx4ktz] pro-sports!”\n\nIn an act of cosmic correction, Daria, Jane, and Tom turned up. Kevin scowled at them.\n\n“Oh hello, TRAITOR!” he yelled at Daria. “Nice day, isn’t it – for a TRAITOR!”\n\n“You can’t betray something you never believed in.”\n\nHe thought about that, then went with “TRAITOR!” before walking off. The trio watched him go, Daria shaking his head.\n\n“I’ve lost the respect and camaraderie of Kevin. But maybe there’ll be some downsides too.”\n\n“Hey, the news crews are pointing their cameras our way. You know the drill…”\n\nDaria and Jane flashed their Mystik Spiral T-shirts, and Jane yelled out the name of the band’s website. “But they’re thinking of changing the domain name!!!”\n\nBehind them, a minivan pulled up and started to regurgitate Oakwood High football players in full team uniform. The lead quarterback nodded to his fellows, and they held up signs saying “BRO SOLIDARITY” and “PLAYERS UNITED”. Their gesture was wrecked when Kevin yelled “Hey, Oakwood have come to [i:2nxx4ktz]diss[/i:2nxx4ktz] us!” and the nearest Lions charged them, starting a fight.\n\nThe last thing Daria saw before entering the school was Steve running past with a huge grin: “ALRIGHT, TASER TIME!!”\n\nInside the school, students were making out in corridors, playing loud music, and Shaggy, Burnout Girl, and their stoner friends were lit up. Shaggy saw the puzzled looks and said: “All the security guards are [i:2nxx4ktz]outside.[/i:2nxx4ktz]”\n\n“What about the cameras, filming you for later?” asked Tom.\n\n“…oh. Bummer.”\n\n“The revolution will be televised,” said Daria.\n\n\n----\n\nEvery sports player was called out of first period classes (DeMartino wept for joy) for an emergency assembly. Morris, Gibson, and a Principal Li driven by caffeine and booze were waiting for them, a lawyer in the background and two middle-aged journalists dressed like teenagers hiding among the students. (One had dug out his old Frankie Goes To Hollywood shirt)\n\n“My brave paladins of Laaaaaawndale High, I’m afraid I have… I have bad news. We’re going to have to cease giving byes for the duration of this crisis, effective immediately. I am truly sorry but [i:2nxx4ktz]you’ll have to do the end-of-year exams on your own.[/i:2nxx4ktz]”\n\nScreams and denials and the sobs of broken men &amp; women filled the air. (Except from Mack, who was sighing)\n\n“We also may – and I stress this is only a [i:2nxx4ktz]may[/i:2nxx4ktz] – have to tighten our belts. The Lawndale Lions may not be getting a post-game Jacuzzi after all.”\n\n“Awwww!”\n\n\n----\n\n\nThe second class was, [i:2nxx4ktz]of course[/i:2nxx4ktz], Gym, and [i:2nxx4ktz]every[/i:2nxx4ktz] sports player in the class was glaring daggers at Daria. She waved at them.\n\n“I hear if you show fear, they’re more likely to attack,” she muttered to Jane.\n\n“All RIGHT, ladies!” barked Ms Morris, looking like she was teetering on the edge of a great abyss and that abyss was full of piranhas. “We’ll be starting Volleyball-“\n\n[i:2nxx4ktz]Shit[/i:2nxx4ktz] thought Daria.\n\nThe girls were split into teams, and strangely Jane [i:2nxx4ktz]wasn’t[/i:2nxx4ktz] on Daria’s team and everyone else who was ensured they weren’t standing near her. A half dozen angry jocks formed the opposition, all armed and intending to ‘miss’ the net. Daria had expected this.\n\nThe instant the whistle went, Daria dropped to the floor – Jennifer’s hurled ball went flying past where she had been and smacked Nikki in the face. At Nikki’s cry of pain, every other cheerleader in the class turned as one; Brittany’s lip curled up as she spotted the miscreant and threw a ball at [i:2nxx4ktz]her[/i:2nxx4ktz] head.\n\n“DODGEBALL!!!!” yelled Andrea, joining in, and soon everyone was throwing at everyone else. Morris blew her whistle for calm until someone balled her in the kneecap (Jane then hid behind another student).\n\nDaria started to crawl along the floor to the exit, hoping she was too difficult a target. The hope was dashed when two pairs of feet appeared in front of her, and balls were bounced – hard – off her back. She cried out in pain before the feet vanished, and Jane’s appeared in their place with a roar of “GET OUT OF IT!”.\n\n“Up you get, amiga, we’re pulling out of here.”\n\n“It’s… fine…” she hissed through gritted teeth. “Who needs a spinal column?”\n\n“If you’re interested in the dodgeball war, Andrea and Brittany are squaring off.”\n\n“Fifty-fifty odds.”\n\n\n----\n\n\nBreak time: the school grounds were commandeered by the Fashion Club and a gaggle of other popular girls. Sandi sat at the head of their circle, Tori Jericho next to her with a stack of spreadsheets.\n\n“This is, like, the biggest crisis we’ve [i:2nxx4ktz]ever[/i:2nxx4ktz] faced since some jerk claimed [i:2nxx4ktz]flares[/i:2nxx4ktz] were back in fashion and people believed him – [i:2nxx4ktz]Sta[/i:2nxx4ktz]cy, quiet please.” Sandi pressed her fingers together in a way she thought made her look cunning. “Every – single – jock is in crisis. They all have to, y’know, [i:2nxx4ktz]study[/i:2nxx4ktz] now, and some will be off teams, and some teams may close and [i:2nxx4ktz]all this affects their suitability as dates[/i:2nxx4ktz].”\n\nShe nodded at Tori, and the blonde started handing her sheets around. “This is the [i:2nxx4ktz]current[/i:2nxx4ktz] popularity rankings for them all, and I’ve marked in red the ones that we [i:2nxx4ktz]know[/i:2nxx4ktz] are doomed. The [i:2nxx4ktz]entire track team[/i:2nxx4ktz], for example.”\n\n“We need to decide who’s going to replace them and who can be salvaged, and then start to divide them up, because a dating war will just weaken us and then [i:2nxx4ktz]less popular[/i:2nxx4ktz] girls might get the new popular guys first.” Sandi slammed a fist into the ground. “We can’t let that happen! We need to, like, be united and stuff!”\n\n“Shouldn’t the cheerleaders be here?” asked Winona.\n\n“Oh [i:2nxx4ktz]puh[/i:2nxx4ktz]-lease. When the football team goes, [i:2nxx4ktz]they[/i:2nxx4ktz] go.”\n\n“Ummm…” Stacy raised a nervous hand. “N-Not to interrupt or anything, Sandi, but if all the cheerleaders and the girls who play sports and the girls who date jocks are losing popularity… [i:2nxx4ktz]who are[/i:2nxx4ktz] the popular people who aren’t us?”\n\n“[i:2nxx4ktz]Sta[/i:2nxx4ktz]cy, that’s [i:2nxx4ktz]such[/i:2nxx4ktz] a stupid-“ said Sandi instinctively, before her face fell. “Oh dear. [i:2nxx4ktz]We’ll have social climbers[/i:2nxx4ktz]. Tori-“\n\n“I’ll get out my laptop now and check all potential threats!”\n\n\n---\n\nUpchuck sauntered up to the tent city, right in the DMZ between journo’s and protestors, a large cart pushed before him. He was always one for a business venture, and once he’d located [i:2nxx4ktz]this[/i:2nxx4ktz] one he’d sprung into action.\n\nHe whipped the cart open. “Who wants to buy [i:2nxx4ktz]donuts and beer?[/i:2nxx4ktz]”\n\n“ME! MEMEMEMEME!”\n\n---\n\nDaria had been “accidentally” bumped into twenty-three times so far, five of them hard enough to knock her to the floor; violent threats had been daubed on her locker; and everywhere she went, at least one person was glaring and making dark threats. It was all what she’d expected, which didn’t make it any less of a pain in the goddamn ass.\n\nAnd she was also expecting that it wouldn’t be safe to go to the toilet on her own. Luckily, Jane expected that too, saving her from the embarrassment of having to ask for a bodyguard.\n\nThere was one of the hockey team there at the time – she looked like she wanted to start something, but with Jane around she decided to go for Plan B, calling Daria a very rude word before leaving.\n\n“So according to this graffiti, I’m a slut and will, quote, get it Crips style, unquote,” said Daria from inside a stall. “Is that better or worse than getting in Bloods style?”\n\n“Did they actually spell ‘get it Crips style’ properly?” asked Jane.\n\n“They misspelled ‘it’. That’s impressive, in its way.”\n\nAs Daria flushed, she heard the bathroom door open – three people coming in. She made sure she had her expressionless mask on, then opened the stall door; a brief glance, identifying the girl from earlier, another one, and Siobhan from the track team, Jane watching them with her arms folded. Daria made sure to be only brief, and to walk past them to wash her hands.\n\n“I’m sorry, but the queue was pointless: that toilet is just as grim as the others,” she said, moving on to dry her hands.\n\n“Brave little bitch,” spat Siobhan. “You think Insane Lane will be enough to help you here?”\n\n“No need, I think I have the hang of bathroom hygiene.” Daria thumped the broken hand-dryer, sighed as that failed to fix it, and went back to the stall to get some paper to dry with. “Or was that a veiled threat? You could stand to be clearer with that.”\n\n“I need an athletic scholarship to afford my first-choice college,” she hissed. “Way [i:2nxx4ktz]you’ve[/i:2nxx4ktz] made things go, they’ll be cancelling it any day now, and then that’s me [i:2nxx4ktz]fucked[/i:2nxx4ktz]. I’ll have to go to goddamn [i:2nxx4ktz]Lawndale State.[/i:2nxx4ktz] You have [i:2nxx4ktz]no idea[/i:2nxx4ktz] how much the seniors have it in for you-”\n\n“That is terrible. You’re right to be angry. Goddamn Lawndale High, being so corrupt that any leak causes dozens to suffer. You should go tell Li and Morris exactly how much they’ve hurt you. In related news, I had my conscience removed on medical grounds, so a guilt trip won’t work.”\n\nSiobhan smiled, coldly. “This is going to be the right place for you, with all the other [i:2nxx4ktz]shit[/i:2nxx4ktz]. Girls-“\n\nDaria held out a hand, just as the enemy and Jane were about to make their moves. “Wait, I have a better idea. You let me out of here unscathed, and I won’t get my family and all their friends to go to the cinema [i:2nxx4ktz]every time you’re working shift there.[/i:2nxx4ktz]”\n\nThere was a brief pause, before Siobhan said “this isn’t over” and left; the other two, rattled, followed her rather than risk greater odds against Jane. Daria waited a few seconds and then started to shake.\n\n“I was worried for a second there that she’d switched jobs,” she said. “Then I’d have been in a pickle.”\n\n“You okay?”\n\n“Sure, Jane. Sure.”\n\n\n---\n\n\nThe Maleficent Eleven had been doing a conga-line in front of the news cameras, chanting “SPIRAL ROCKS! SPIRAL ROCKS! SPIRAL ROCKS!”, when something newsworthy finally happened: Superintendent Cartwright arrived at the school. He was besieged and security had to escort him through the throngs, “NO COMMENT!” yelled at the top of his voice.\n\nThen another car pulled up, and the suited figure of Jim Vitale – legal partner, feared negotiator, horrible bastard – pulled up. Smiling.\n\n“Well, hello there!” he called out to the press. “Just the one comment to make, fellas: this is all blown out of proportion and we’ll have it sorted out by Wednesday at the most. But hey, slow news week, I know how it is.”\n\nThe Eleven scowled as he passed. They had no idea who he was, but they did know he [i:2nxx4ktz]wore a suit.[/i:2nxx4ktz]\n\n\n---\n\n\n“This is—this is-“ Cartwright fumbled around for the right word. “This is [i:2nxx4ktz]sucks![/i:2nxx4ktz]”\n\nVitale leaned back in Li’s office chair (Cartwright had got the visitor’s chair, Li had to stand). “Accurate, if not grammatically.”\n\n“[i:2nxx4ktz]Everything[/i:2nxx4ktz] is leaking about this place, [i:2nxx4ktz]EVERYTHING![/i:2nxx4ktz] And people are sniffing around Oakwood now!” Cartwright wheeled around to Li. “YOU MESSED UP GOOD, ANGELA.”\n\nShe said something that sounded like “mmmppp”.\n\n“What we need to do,” said Vitale lightly, “is try [i:2nxx4ktz]harder[/i:2nxx4ktz] at shutting down the whistleblowers.

He seemed to be in a daze of sorts, shuffling forward with a zombie-like gait.  He would snap out of it from time to time, however, and glance furtively around as if afraid that someone had caught him doing something wrong before slipping back into his haze of confusion.\n\nMrs. Diane Bennett, the Economics teacher, was standing in the middle of an intersection as the students milled around and generally tried to ignore her.  She was giving a free lecture at the top of her lungs on how mass nudity could effect the economy via the textiles industry.  The fact that no one was listening to her did not deter her in the least, and her histrionic voice could be heard halfway across the school.\n\nBrittany Taylor, famous for her ditzy personality and tremendous . . . assets, had freed herself of the cheerleading outfit that she perpetually wore.  In the process, she revealed that her assets weren\'t actually as tremendous as previously thought due to the extra padding that had come off with her bra.  Her boyfriend football quarterback Kevin Thompson, meanwhile, had to keep explaining to people who he was since they didn\'t recognize the skinny dude without his shoulder pads.\n\n&quot;Oh my gawd, I am [i:1jkyhcx2]so sorry[/i:1jkyhcx2] for not believing you before!&quot; a nude Tori called as the girls passed by.  She then went back to explaining in detail how the mass nude trend would effect the popularity ladder.  Unlike Mrs. Bennett, she actually held the ear of a nice-sized group, made up mostly of boys but also a few girls.\n\nMr. O\'Neill\'s loud weeping could be heard from a barricaded restroom and was only slightly beaten out for decibel level by Mr. DeMartino\'s raucous laughter coming from the teacher\'s lounge.\n\nOverall, the ratio of nude versus non-nude had quickly tipped.  In just the two periods since lunch, those with clothes still on had become the exception rather than the norm.  It seemed that havoc should have reigned as a result, but surprisingly everyone seemed to be acclimating to the new situation quite well.\n\nNot to say that some things weren\'t getting out of hand.  For example, the impromptu nude limbo contests breaking out in the east side hallways were proving to be a bit disruptive to traffic flow.\n\n&quot;Just two more periods and we\'re home free,&quot; Sandi said as they were on their way to Gym class, which they assumed would prove to be very interesting.\n\n&quot;Do you think we might\'ve taken things a little too far?&quot; Stacy asked, looking around at the effects of their plan.\n\n&quot;No way, Stacy,&quot; Quinn assured her.  &quot;It\'s all under control.  We just come back tomorrow, tell everyone that clothes are totally back in, and everyone will forget this ever happened.  Easy!&quot;\n\nStacy nodded but still looked a bit troubled.  Her look of worry was then quickly replaced by one of complete panic when she looked up at Tiffany\'s ominous &quot;Uh-oooooooooh . . . &quot;\n\n&quot;Principal Angela Li, like, twelve o\'clock!&quot; Sandi moaned in despair, trying to get the rest of the girls in a protective spot behind her.\n\nAll attempts to make a plan to deal with Li had been abandoned when it had looked like she wasn\'t going to get involved.  The plan to drop the planning seemed like a bad idea all of a sudden as the stout woman bore down on them like a bull bearing down on a waving cape.\n\n&quot;Rowe!  Morgendorffer!  Blum-Deckler!&quot; Li yelled as the rest of the students in the hall parted before her like the Red Sea.  &quot;Stop cowering behind Miss Griffin immediately and face what\'s coming to you!&quot;\n\nWincing at her tone, the three girls complied with her orders.  She stopped directly in front of them and put her hands on her hips.  &quot;I bet you think you\'re [i:1jkyhcx2]pret-ty clever[/i:1jkyhcx2], don\'t you?&quot; she said, scowling ominously.  &quot;Yes, [i:1jkyhcx2]pret-ty clever[/i:1jkyhcx2] to break into my office.&quot;\n\nThe girls were completely stunned.  &quot;Um, break into your office, ma\'am?&quot; Quinn asked, perplexed.\n\n&quot;How else could you have known about my plans to turn Laaaaaaawndale High into a clothing-optional facility?&quot; she snapped.  &quot;I\'ve been working on that proposition for years!  And every year, the school board has turned me down!  Called me crazy!  Hell, the only reason they let me stay on as principal is because I can fool them into thinking I run everything else so tightly!  And now you girls, you get into my office . . . and you . . . and you look at my files . . . and then you do [i:1jkyhcx2]this[/i:1jkyhcx2] . . . &quot;\n\nMs. Li\'s eyes began to water as she bit her lower lip.  &quot;Oh God it\'s just so [i:1jkyhcx2]beautiful![/i:1jkyhcx2]&quot; she exclaimed, gathering the girls up into a spontaneous hug.  &quot;I never thought I\'d get [i:1jkyhcx2]any[/i:1jkyhcx2] support, but here you are, and in [i:1jkyhcx2]just one day-[/i:1jkyhcx2]&quot;\n\n&quot;Er, Ms. Li?&quot; Quinn said, tapping the principal on the shoulder.\n\nLi jumped back as if zapped by a cattle prod.  She coughed several times, straightened her glasses, and said, &quot;Yes!  Yes, of course, very inappropriate.  Just got caught up in the moment.  Won\'t happen again!\n\n&quot;But this!&quot; she continued, sweeping her hand around to take in the nude students around her, &quot;this is what I\'ve been working for my entire life!  A place where everyone can be free to be who they are!  A place where teenagers can learn without the restriction of clothing!  A place where it\'s easier to strip search for drugs, weapons, and assorted other contraband because the subjects are already stripped!  A place where wait I\'m sorry, forget I said that last one.&quot;\n\nShe clasped Sandi\'s hands in her own.  &quot;Thank you,&quot; she said, &quot;for helping me make this possible.&quot;\n\n&quot;You\'re . . . welcome?&quot;\n\nThe principal then stepped back, grasped the front of her suit, and tore it open, sending buttons everywhere.  She held her hands high, giving everyone the double V for Victory, and yelled out, &quot;NUDEDALE HIGH RULES!  Oh, also, I\'ll start handing out towels immediately,&quot; she added, still holding her pose.  &quot;In thanks for your help, I would like you girls to have first pick of the best of the batch.  Extra fluffy!&quot;\n\n&quot;Towels?&quot; Stacy asked.  &quot;What would we need towels for?&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh.  Well, see, there are certain parts of the anatomy that don\'t normally touch seats and the like when you\'re wearing clothes,&quot; Li explained, &quot;but now . . . &quot;\n\nThe girls glanced at each other in confusion until it finally settled in.  &quot;EEEEEEEWWWWWW!&quot; they all cried out in unison.\n\n&quot;Yes, as president of the Fashion Club, I humbly accept your generous offer of seating towels on behalf of everyone here,&quot; Sandi managed professionally before cringing again at the thought.\n\n***\n\n&quot;Can you believe all of this?&quot; Daria asked as she and Jane leaned against Jane\'s locker.\n\n&quot;Seriously,&quot; Jane replied.  &quot;It\'s like some kind of insane asylum with invisible straight jackets.&quot;\n\n&quot;You\'ll never see me joining in.&quot;\n\n&quot;That\'d just be crazy.&quot;\n\n&quot;Not a chance.&quot;\n\n&quot;No way, no how.&quot;\n\nThey fell into silence as they continued watching the crowd of students.  One of their number was a slender but well-muscled boy who winked at Jane as he passed by.\n\n&quot;Here, hold this,&quot; Jane said as Daria\'s field of view was suddenly obstructed by red cloth.  She quickly pulled Jane\'s overshirt off her head to see the artist stumbling down the corridor as she removed the rest of her clothing.

I myself don\'t like to drag God into a debate on abortion.[/quote:2aux69ao]So what is your response to the questions you\'ve been asked about your position?[/quote:2aux69ao]\n\nWhy punish? I missed it earlier. Sorry about that. \n\nWhy punish is simple: To push our way to the end result of not having the act of murder sanctioned by our government. The doctor deserves to be punished because the doctor ends a life, and the mother deserves to be punished because she is a willing accomplice to this act which unequivocally ends in killing another. \n\nI know that people will try to do it other ways: illegal drugs and gun regulations prove this. But it is impossible to stamp anything out completely, so attempting to do that is futile. The best we can do is make it prohibitive and dangerous.[/quote:2aux69ao]Not all killings are murder. Everywhere, and at all times, people have distinguished between killings which are murder and killing which are not murder. However, they haven\'t always agreed about which killings are murders and which are not. As it happens, both here where I am and there where you are, abortions are not currently defined as murders, although possibly they are so defined elsewhere or have been so defined at other times. But whether they are or are not defined by law as murders, people like me who think that abortions should not be subject to criminal penalty, obviously don\'t agree that they should be defined as murders. If you just assume that abortions are murders, you are avoiding the point at issue, which is how abortions should be treated by law. I can see that you think abortions should be defined by law as murders, but I don\'t yet know why you think that. That\'s the point of the question I\'m asking you, and I\'m still interested in your answer.[/quote:2aux69ao]\n\nI\'m afraid I don\'t follow your question. Are you asking me why I consider abortions to be murder?[/quote:2aux69ao]Kind of.\n\nAs a matter of [i:2aux69ao]fact[/i:2aux69ao], abortions [i:2aux69ao]are not[/i:2aux69ao] murders, either here where I am or there where you are. The law says which killings are murders and which aren\'t, and both here and there the law says that abortions are not murders.\n\nBut I understand that you think the law should be changed and that abortions [i:2aux69ao]should be[/i:2aux69ao] murders, and I\'m asking you why you think so.\n\n(If you consider that abortions [i:2aux69ao]are[/i:2aux69ao] murders, [i:2aux69ao]now, under the law as it stands[/i:2aux69ao], then you are simply factually wrong (at least, about US law--and also about Australian law, as it happens).

Note that a &quot;regular&quot; premeditated murder, absent such special circumstances, is not a first-degree murder; murders by poison or &quot;lying in wait&quot; are not per se first-degree murders. First degree murder is pre-meditated. However, the New York Court of Appeals struck down the death penalty as unconstitutional in the case of People v. LaValle, because of the statute\'s direction on how the jury was to be instructed in case of deadlock in the penalty phase. \nSecond Degree Murder: Any premeditated murder or felony murder that does not involve special circumstances. \nSchemes similar to Pennsylvania\'s are used in California and Massachusetts.

She hated being a waitress, but her parents had insisted that she get a job over the summer before she left for her freshman year at Raft College.\n[i:k5uo90x2]I can’t stand this outfit[/i:k5uo90x2], she thought to herself, glaring at the reflection of the poodle skirt, blouse, apron and bright yellow bow in her hair. [i:k5uo90x2]At least there aren’t any rodent hats involved in this job.[/i:k5uo90x2]\nShe washed her hands and walked out, pulling her order pad out of her apron pocket as she approached a corner booth with a single occupant.\n“Hi, I’m Daria and I’ll be your server today. Would you like to hear our specials?” Rather than her usual monotone, her voice had developed an actual sense of emotion as she spoke with her customers.\n“I’ll just have the steak, well done, and a root beer, please,” the young man said, smiling as he handed her the menu. Jotting down the order, she noticed he was wearing an Army uniform. She gave it a quick glance, and smiled broader.\n“A Military Police officer in Lawndale? How’d that happen?”\nHe raised his eyebrows in surprise. “Most people can’t tell that so quick! How’d you know?” She pointed at the small piece of metal on his right breast.\n“My grandfather, Mad Dog Morgendorffer, was an MP during the Korean War. I studied a bit about them for a project at school where we had to talk about our grandparents.”\n“That’s pretty cool,” he said, his smile broadening. She smiled back for a minute longer, then shook her head slightly.\n“I’ll get that order taken care of for you quick,” she said, walking to the cook’s window.\n“Mike?” she called into the kitchen. A large man with a pleasant smile popped his head up.\n“Yo?”\n“This order is for the soldier in the corner. Make it real good.” Lawndale being relatively close to Washington, D.C. meant that military personnel stopped by occasionally, and their food was always the best the house could give.\nIt was also always free, as the surprised soldier learned when he reached for his wallet after his meal.\n	The young man left with a nervous blush as the patrons and employees all applauded him.\n\n	When Daria finished her shift an hour later, she was surprised to see the same soldier waiting in the parking lot.\n“I never got your name. I’m Kyle,” he said with a shy grin.\n“I’m Daria,” she said, giving him her Mona Lisa smile. They stood in silence for a few minutes, then he gestured down the street.\n“I don’t know if you’re doing anything, but I was wondering if you’d be interested in going for a walk. I’m on leave right now, and I just stopped here for lunch.”\nDaria thought for a moment, then said, “Sure, why not?”\nThey walked around for a while, keeping the conversation light until they found themselves standing in front of the Big Strawberry.\n“Daria, I’ve had a great time today, and I was wondering something.”\nImmediately, she went on the defensive. “If this is about not wanting to die a virgin, you’re on your own.”\nPanicked, he backed up a few steps. “No, nothing like that!” Regaining his composure, he said, “I was just wondering if you’d be interested in being pen pals. I’m deploying in a few weeks, and I don’t really have anyone to write to. My parents are dead, my girlfriend dumped me last week, and I didn’t really have any friends in high school. You seem like a really nice girl, and I was hoping to make friends with you.”\nDaria sat quietly for a minute, during which he felt his hopes sink into the ground.\n“Ok,” she said quietly, smiling at him.\n\nThey walked around for a few more hours, then exchanged email addresses. At home that night, Daria was surprised to find an email already in her mailbox. It was a short one, just letting her know he had gotten home safe. She replied back with a short message that she was glad to hear it.\n\nOver the summer, they emailed each other at least once a day, and usually more. Even during the hustle and bustle of deploying to Iraq, he always found the time to send her at least a quick message letting her know he was ok. She found herself worrying every time the news announced casualties in Iraq, not relaxing until she got his email. He began sending pictures with his emails, usually no more than one or two a week. He never asked her for any in return, but she promptly bought a digital camera and began sending him pictures of herself. When she moved to the dorms at Raft, she started printing out his pictures and hanging them on the wall, prompting her roommate to nickname her “Soldier Girl.” She never once blushed when anyone called her that.\n\nMidway through the Spring semester, she received an email saying he had been moved up in the R&amp;R rotation and would be in Boston during her Spring Break. Delighted, she helped him make arrangements and even informed her parents and Jane, who said they wanted to meet the young man.\n\nWhen he stepped off the plane at Boston Logan International, he was dressed in his best uniform and was thoroughly surprised to see a small crowd waiting with signs and confetti. Daria was wearing her biggest smile as they embraced tightly.\n\nWhen he flew back to Iraq two weeks later, the same crowd was there to see him off, with one difference. The new Mrs. Kyle Johnson was fighting back tears as she kissed him goodbye and watched him go up the ramp to the plane.\n\nTheir emails became even more frequent, and even included an occasional webcam chat. The day he informed her his unit was moving to an area that didn’t have internet was a hard day for both of them, especially since the last picture he received before leaving was a small white stick with a ‘[color=#FF00FF:k5uo90x2]+[/color:k5uo90x2]’ in the middle of it. His buddies couldn’t get him to shut up the entire next week.\n\nDaria had just finished finals and was packing for a visit to her parents house when a knock came to the door. Opening it, she saw two men in Army dress uniforms. Before they had even finished speaking, she had collapsed in tears. They had a small envelope for her, which contained his wedding ring and locket with their wedding picture on one side and the picture of the test result on the other.\n\nAt his funeral, Daria had just barely begun to show as the coffin was lowered into the ground. Unable to hold back the tears, Jane had to accept the folded flag in her place while Trent held her, letting her cry into his shoulder.','547ce336acd10e682a33f53fce9d605f',0,'Ig==','k5uo90x2',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461895,31974,3,305,0,'200.114.121.240',1298001111,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: What?

TPTB thought that she was too small for the \'best friend\' role, but they kept coming back to her because Disney specifically mandated that the actress who played HM had to be able to both sing and act.\n\nAs for Billy Ray (and people, despite what you think of the man, he was a successful actor BEFORE HM - go check out his IMDB or Wiki pages). What propelled him into the role of the father was that nobody else that they were looking for as the father was making the spark that they were looking for between the main character and the father; TPTB looked at Billy Ray and saw how he interacted with Miley, thought it over, and said, we want her as the main... and we want you as her father.&quot;\n\nHe did not \'bring her to them\'. It\'s Disney - and they\'re ALWAYS looking for young new talent. The fact that the child could always sing, was already trying to get into the business AND the fact that she already had a famous father (and people, you forget just how big Billy Ray was in the early 1990\'s) was a lock ensuring that she was going into the business...

He’s been shot in the head.”[/i:r5x7x30s]\n\n\nDaria and Jane sat separate questioning rooms, being interviewed about what happened. They both told the exact same story: they walked to Jane’s house after school to watch TV and found Trent dead in the living room, shot once in the back of the head.\nHelen was present for each girl, acting as their legal counsel, and in the end the police agreed that neither girl had done anything wrong. Jane was brought to Daria’s room, and all were told, “Wait here.”\nAlmost an hour later, a man in a dark suit walked in, carrying a small stack of folders.\n“Ms. Lane, I’m truly sorry for your loss. Trent was a good man, and it’s a shame that this happened.”\n“What happened?!” Jane asked, desperately fighting back tears as Daria held her hand in support.\n“Your brother, along with Jesse Moreno, Nicholas Campbell, and Max Tyler, were all found dead today, all shot execution style.”\nUpon hearing this, Jane lost the fight to hold back her tears and collapsed against Daria.\nDaria embraced her friend while Helen turned on the man in the suit.\n“You don’t seem very surprised at this, detective.”\n“To be honest, I’m not. This happens all too often.”\n“What happens too often?” Daria asked, still supporting Jane.\n“Mystik Spiral was arrested six months ago for possession of a disturbingly large amount of marijuana. They were offered, and accepted, a plea bargain from the department. All charges would be dropped if they were willing to act as informants for us.”\n“Who did this to them?” Jane asked, venom in her voice.\n“Your brother and his friends were helping us to investigate a man named Ian McGrundy. He owns a bar and a club downtown, and we suspect that he uses these as fronts for drug smuggling. Since the band were regulars at the two places, it was easy for them to poke around for us.”\n“Until someone poked back,” Daria said quietly.\n“Detective, are the girls in any danger?” Helen asked.\n“I doubt your daughter is, ma’am, but there is the possibility that Ms. Lane might be a target for the men who did this. If they believe Trent, or any of the others, told her anything, they might try to silence her as well. There is the option of the Witness Protection Program, if you are interested, Ms. Lane.”\n“I don’t want protection,” Jane said, her voice like quenched and tempered steel. “I want to find the bastards who did this and make them pay.”\n\nThe police escorted Jane back to her house and waited while she packed things she would need in the short term. Helen had agreed to take her in, since Vincent and Amanda were unreachable. Carrying a duffel bag and her easel, she stopped in Trent’s room and felt the tears come to her eyes again.\nOn impulse, she went to his closet and pulled up a loose floorboard. It was a secret spot Trent had used in the past to hide his valuables whenever he was out of town.\n[i:r5x7x30s]Maybe I can find something to remember him by[/i:r5x7x30s], she thought, and was surprised when her hand touched a video cassette. Pulling it out, she saw a label in Trent’s scrawl:\n[size=150:r5x7x30s][i:r5x7x30s]Janey[/i:r5x7x30s][/size:r5x7x30s]\nShe quickly shoved the tape into her bag and went downstairs.\n\nThe police dropped her off at a hotel downtown, and she was quickly smuggled into the Morgendorffer SUV after she checked in. Two police officers would be in the room at all times, and plain-clothes police would be patrolling the Morgendorffer neighborhood.\nAfter dinner, Jane and Daria retreated upstairs. Once the door was safely closed, Jane pulled out the tape.\n“If you don’t want to watch…”\nDaria cut her off by grabbing the tape and shoving it into the VCR. After a moment of static, Trent appeared on the screen.\n\n‘[i:r5x7x30s]Janey, by the time you see this tape, I’ll probably be either dead, or worse. I’m sorry, but this is something that got way out of hand. The cops wanted us to keep an eye on Old Man McGrundy, and it seemed like a good idea at the time, but now things are just crazy. We got in way over our heads, and it’s going to get bad pretty soon. Not just for me, or the band, but for everyone. Janey, I didn’t want you involved in this, but I know you aren’t the kind to quit, so I want you to know what your up against. McGrundy is dealing with more than just normal drugs, Janey. He’s got some weird drug that messes with your head. Not getting you high, but driving you completely crazy. I’ve seen people start biting on each other, like they were trying to eat each other. And they all did whatever McGrundy said. He’s getting ready to start shipping this stuff out across the country, and if he does, it’ll be real bad. Janey, you’ve got to be safe. Get somewhere safe, please. Take Daria too. I’d hate anything to happen to her. I love you, Janey, and you too, Daria. [/i:r5x7x30s]He reached up to turn the camera off, then paused. [i:r5x7x30s]One last thing: don’t go to the police. There’s someone working for McGrundy in the police department.[/i:r5x7x30s]\n\nThe video turned to static, and both girls sat on Daria’s bed, weeping. Suddenly, Jane leapt to her feet and started for the door.\n“Where are you going?” Daria asked, grabbing her arm.\n“To get the son-of-a-bitch who killed my brother,” Jane said, her voice filled with pain and hate.\n“Jane, we have to be smart about this. If you just go after McGrundy, you’ll be dead before you get in the door. I think I have an idea that might work, though. But we’ll need some help for it.”\n\nThe next day, at Daria’s house, Jane sat in the living room looking at the people Daria had assembled. Jodie and Mack sat on one couch with Ted, while Andrea, Jennifer (although she insisted on being called Burnout), and Tom Sloane sat opposite them. Standing off to the side was Quinn and Stacy.\n“You’re probably wondering why I’ve asked you all here tonight,” Daria said.\n“It got me out of the Congressman’s office. That’s all that matters,” said Jodie, trying to lighten the mood. It failed.\n“There’s something big going on, and Jane and I need your help.” Quickly, she summarized Trent’s video will. “We want to stop whatever it is that McGrundy’s got planned. Are you willing to help us?”\n“This should help,” Burnout said, pulling out a small baggie filled with green leaves.\n“Really? How?” Jane spat angrily.\n“Because I got this from one of McGrundy’s guys,” Burnout said with no sign she’d noticed Jane’s hostility. As Daria went to take it from her, gunshots were heard outside. Quinn turned on the TV, where all channels were on the Emergency Broadcast System.\n\n[i:r5x7x30s]‘This is not a test. The city of Lawndale is currently experiencing violent mob activity in the streets. It is recommended that you remain indoors and do not allow anyone to leave your homes. Again, this is not a test. Violent and dangerous mobs are moving through the city.’[/i:r5x7x30s]\n\nDaria opened the coat closet and pullet out two shotguns. As she began loading one, Quinn tried to call Jake and Helen. Mack came over and began loading the second.\n“Do you know how to use these things?” he asked.\nDaria stood and said, “Please, I’m from Texas,” With a small grin, she pumped the forestock, causing Ted to jump nervously.\nMeanwhile, Jodie had moved to the window and was taking glances outside. “Guys, I think that mob just got here.”\nOutside, there were around thirty people staggering down the road. Police were hastily setting up a roadblock outside the Morgendorffer house.\n“Disperse immediately or we will open fire on you!” the police announced via bullhorn. The crowd continued staggering.\n“Mack, is that Kevin at the front of the crowd?” Jodie asked.\n“Yeah, it is,” Mack sighed, hoping Kevin would listen to the police.\n“This is your final warning! Disperse!” After a few seconds came the call, “Open fire!”\nThere was a barrage of gunfire, but incredibly not one member of the crowd fell.\n“I guess the police are pretty horrible shots here in Lawndale,” Mack muttered, until he saw that the crowd had all been shot but hadn’t even flinched, let alone fallen down.\n“Daria, that crowd is acting really weird,” he said. As Daria looked out the window, she saw Kevin grab the nearest cop and start biting him. As the man’s screams filled the air, more gunfire overpowered it until the few police that the crowd hadn’t gotten ahold of ran off. Only one member of the crowd had finally fallen, but now the police who had been bitten joined the crowd as it shuffled up the street.\nDaria looked at the group in her loving room. “This is not the time to panic, ok? We have to all stay calm, and stay together. The first thing we do is”\nThe window suddenly shattered, and a pair of arms dragged a screaming Daria outside.','494111381301ced0c6920a4ab582d21d',0,'ZA==','r5x7x30s',1,1298337250,'',1151,2,0),(461915,31666,6,1016,0,'173.216.32.190',1298012137,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Beavis &amp; Butthead/Daria crossovers...','I started one, called Daria and Danny Beavers, and posted it on ff.net, but deleted the first chapter when my muse up and left.

He saw the man moving his head around, ignoring both him and Daria. His arms were folded like he was king of the school and he even whistled when a group of girls walked by.\n\n	Daria got closer to the bank of lockers and reached for the knob to enter the combination to her own. This was impossible since the man was directly in front of her locker so even if she could unlock it there was no way to open it unless he moved. Her arm outstretched, she said, &quot;Excuse me&quot; at the oblivious stranger.\n\n	&quot;Hey,&quot; he finally said.\n\n	&quot;You\'re in front of my locker. Can you move out of the way?&quot; She finally let her arm fall and then stood directly in front of the man waiting for an answer.\n\n	&quot;In a minute. I\'m just taking a look at all the fine chicks here.&quot; His eyes never met hers or those of James as he said this.\n\n	&quot;But I\'m going to be late for class.&quot;\n\n	&quot;Look, I said I would in a minute.&quot; Now he looked straight at Daria and his right hand came out and pushed her away. James, seeing this, got closer.\n\n	&quot;I don\'t know who you are, but if you think what you\'re doing is important enough to cause me to be late then you\'re either an asshole or more likely presidential material. Either way, you\'d be better off ogling underage girls somewhere else.&quot;\n\n	&quot;Hey little missy, I\'m Tommy Sherman. I\'m sure you heard of me. Everyone at Lawndale High has, and for good reason.&quot;\n\n	Daria rolled her eyes and said, &quot;So you were the one who stuck all those thermometers up his...&quot;\n\n	&quot;Hey!&quot; Tommy raised his voice and James tensed up. James could feel his heart starting to race as he listened to the man continue. &quot;I was the best quarterback who ever played at Lawndale. Way better than any of the pukes who came after me. And I don\'t need some ugly chick telling me where I can and can\'t stand in my own school.&quot;\n\n	James had enough. &quot;Okay, she asked nicely. I\'m going to give you one more chance. Now please leave before something happens we both might regret.&quot;\n\n	&quot;Really? What would that be? Me pounding your face into one of these lockers? Or me grabbing your balls and squeezing until you pass out?&quot;\n\n	Daria got in between Tommy and James and said, &quot;It\'s always something like that with you jocks, isn\'t it? Always about testicles or buttocks or something? It\'s like you\'re trying to make up for something, some part of you that...&quot;\n\n	&quot;Tommy Sherman has had more women than he can count. He doesn\'t need some lesbian-looking chick telling him that he\'s not into girls. But if you and one of your girlfriends came over to my motel room, I might set you straight.&quot; He smirked and said, &quot;I\'ll show you what a real man is like, because your boyfriend here obviously doesn\'t have enough in his pants to get you...&quot;\n\n	James grabbed Tommy by the shoulders and shoved his back against the lockers. Tommy smirked again and looked him in the eye. James said, &quot;No one talks to my best friend like that without having to deal with me.&quot;\n\n	&quot;So you\'re her best friend. I guess you\'re a homo too. Maybe that\'s why you\'re holding on to me so tight.&quot; And with that he put his hands on James\'s shoulders, turned him around and pushed his back into the lockers. &quot;I don\'t know why I didn\'t see it before. The both of you must have some kind of gay club that wasn\'t here when I went to this school. Now I\'m glad I\'m only here for a visit, because if I had to deal with...&quot; His voice was silenced by a loud thud. Tommy\'s eyes opened incredibly wide and then he moaned and grabbed his crotch. James was also surprised but then looked behind Tommy and saw Daria, her boot moving back down from between Sherman\'s legs.\n\n	A familiar voice said, &quot;Miss Morgendorffer! Mr. Lane! Wait outside my office. I\'ll speak to you later.&quot; It was Principal Li who had spoken, and she was with a security guard. &quot;Mr. Sherman, I\'m sorry for what has happened. Do you need medical attention?&quot;\n\n	Breathing heavily, Tommy said, &quot;That little bitch... I\'ll...&quot; but then he looked at Ms. Li and said, &quot;I\'ll go take a look at my goalpost.&quot; She quietly told the guard to escort him to the football field and make sure he didn\'t get near any more students.\n\n\n\n	James walked with his head held low. His blood was boiling but he wasn\'t sure what was still making him angry, Tommy Sherman or the fact that now he was going to get in trouble for trying to defend Daria. His fists were clenched and then he looked over at Daria who was stone-faced like always. Her expressions were so subtle it took him a long time to learn to read them. Now he was again having trouble determining what was going through her head. He kept his eyes on the floor and said, &quot;Stupid Tommy Sherman always messing with people... &quot;\n\n	Daria looked up at him and said, &quot;Why is this guy so special he\'s getting his own goal post? He just seems like a dick to me.&quot;\n\n	&quot;He was the greatest quarterback in the history of Lawndale High. He\'s not lying about that. He set a record for scoring more touchdowns than any other player in the history of the county. But when he was running for a touchdown he would wave at the crowd and not look ahead.&quot;\n\n	&quot;Straight into the goalpost.&quot; She shook her head. &quot;Now I get it. But I don\'t get why you know so much about him, if he graduated a few years ago.&quot;\n\n	&quot;Three years, actually.&quot; He looked Daria in the eye and then looked away again. &quot;Trent knew him. He said Tommy Sherman treated him like shit. Of course he treated everybody like shit, especially the girls, but people still loved him.&quot;\n\n	They stopped in front of Principal Li\'s office and sat down on a couple of worn old chairs that looked like they were the height of fashion back in the seventies. James still kept his gaze on the linoleum in front of him and Daria said, &quot;So if this Tommy Sherman is such a great football player why are they naming a goal post after him? Why not a stadium?&quot;\n\n	&quot;Well, when he was playing in the semifinals, he scored the winning touchdown with five seconds to spare. He also hit the goal post so hard his helmet split in two.&quot;\n\n	&quot;Damn.&quot;\n\n	&quot;He was in a coma for six days. Somehow he woke up the night before the championship game and jumped out of bed. He swore he was feeling well enough to play and he led Lawndale to its first and only victory at state.&quot; James said the words without inflection and without feeling. He was just reciting facts he knew and not trying to praise the man who had angered him.\n\n	&quot;That sounds inspirational. He\'s a true American hero.&quot; The sarcasm dripped from Daria\'s mouth.\n\n	&quot;Yeah, some hero. He\'ll probably skip his senior year of college and enter the NFL draft while still being a douche bag.&quot;\n\n	Daria smirked. &quot;But if he ended up in a coma from hitting a goal post then why are they dedicating one to him?&quot;\n\n	&quot;It\'s one of those new ones designed to break in pieces instead of breaking a football player\'s head into pieces.&quot;\n\n	&quot;So Ms. Li finally got the money for the goal posts...&quot;\n\n	&quot;Goal [i:v3eg5is0]post[/i:v3eg5is0]. Only one. But yeah, she did and she got Tommy Sherman to come back to Lawndale for the dedication ceremony.&quot; He shook his head.\n\n	The bell rang. They were now officially late for class but James didn\'t seem to care. He looked over at Daria and saw she had let her near-empty backpack fall to the floor. His rage was subsiding but he couldn\'t let go of the feeling of powerlessness once Tommy had grabbed him and pushed him around.\n\n	&quot;I guess to Ms. Li it\'s all worth it for the glory of Laaaawnale High.&quot; Daria imitated their principal\'s elongation of the school\'s name, but James didn\'t laugh.\n\n	&quot;Yeah. Guys like him always get away with everything. It\'s not fair.&quot;\n\n	&quot;No, it\'s not.&quot;\n\n	&quot;Well, I can always dream that he dies stupidly and very soon.&quot; This made James smile a little.\n\n	&quot;I don\'t think Martin Luther King put that particular dream in his speech but maybe he should have.&quot; \n\nAs they waited they heard a long shriek coming down the hall. Daria said, &quot;What the hell?&quot; Kevin ran past them and then ran back and stopped in front of them. He said, &quot;James! Daria! Tommy Sherman\'s dead!&quot;\n\n	Daria looked at him and said, &quot;What?&quot;\n\n	&quot;The crate with the goal post inside of it fell on top of him! He\'s dead! Oh God...&quot; Kevin started to weep and then hid his face with his hands.','84bf38d62fa6b9cca9145c9d1b4b5129',0,'IA==','v3eg5is0',1,0,'',0,0,0),(479534,32807,3,562,0,'58.111.83.141',1305969613,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Completely Random Post Thread-Prophylactics for (CENSORE','[url=http&#58;//www&#46;sgm&#46;com&#46;au/html/recipes_&#46;html:1tykt47e]Some recipes involving an iconic Australian marsupial.[/url:1tykt47e]\n\nAnd yes, I do want to try some of these!','8e961836555b4dbbe1e39397541ef6fd',0,'EA==','1tykt47e',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461917,30355,6,1139,0,'143.238.93.100',1298015467,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Lawndale and Sandi Griffin’s Genie (Chapter 3) (Part 2)','[u:w1h2z9dg]Chapter 3: Part 2[/u:w1h2z9dg]\n\nAs she neared the Music/Arts/Home Economics block, Tiffany slipped over. The emerald fell out of her hand and rolled into a nearby puddle. “Oh no-oo!” she exclaimed. Stacy and Kristen came up. “The emeraaald, I’ve lost it!” she said.\n\n“Oh no! Lawndale may flood!” Stacy said. Indeed, much of the quad was awash.\n\n“Help me look!” Kristen said, as she stooped down. “Yuck!”\n\n\nDaria, Quinn and Jodie walked through the footbridge from the Library. “It doesn’t look good,” Jodie said.\n\n“Indeed, let’s rush and try to find Tiffany before she loses the emerald,” Daria said.\n\n“I am not sure what came over her. It’s like the emerald may induce people to use it or something,” Quinn said.\n\nDaria and Jodie stopped. “That sounds familiar,” Jodie said.\n\n‘Oh no! I hope that it is [i:w1h2z9dg]not[/i:w1h2z9dg] like the One Ring,’ Daria thought. “Unfortunately it is,” Daria said.\n\n“You mean that there is a[i:w1h2z9dg] book[/i:w1h2z9dg] about that kind of thing?” Quinn asked.\n\n“Don’t worry. It’s fiction,” Daria said.\n\n“The Lord of the Rings,” Jodie said. Jean entered the footbridge.\n\n“Don’t worry, the emerald is nowhere as compulsive as the One Ring,” she said.\n\n“That’s good,” Jodie said.\n\n“Is there a movie about this book?” Quinn asked as they started moving again.\n\n“There are a few rumours, but there isn’t one yet,” Jodie said.\n\n“Ok,” Quinn said.\n\n\nKristen found the emerald at the bottom of a puddle. “Here it is,” she said. She held it up for Stacy and Tiffany to see.\n\n“Ok, wish that the rain would stop,” Stacy said. However something else happened instead, The bell rang and Sandi emerged from the time-warp less than two metres away.\n\n\nSandi emerged from the time-warp. She immediately noticed that the emerald did not come with her. She also noticed the rain and that Kristen had the emerald.\n\n“Kristen Leung-Bell, like, give me that emerald!” Sandi exclaimed.\n\n“Eep!” Stacy said, she ran off towards the Music/Arts/Home Economics Block.\n\n“Here it is!” Kristen said. She threw the emerald to Sandi and ran off, following Stacy.\n\n“I wish that Tiffany and I were in class,” Sandi wished.\n\n\nQuinn, Joey, Jeffy and Jamie met in the history class. Mr DeMartino was looking out at the flooding quad.\n“[b:w1h2z9dg]Why[/b:w1h2z9dg] is it that [b:w1h2z9dg]students[/b:w1h2z9dg] should find something so [b:w1h2z9dg]power[/b:w1h2z9dg]ful!” he said.\n\n“No idea, Mr DeMartino,” Jamie said.\n\n“I wasn’t [b:w1h2z9dg]talking[/b:w1h2z9dg] to you, Mr White!”\n\nThen Sandi and Tiffany appeared, bringing with them some rain, and a patch of ground, including mud, grass and some puddles.\n\n“I wish that the rain currently falling in Lawndale will stop,” Sandi said.\n\n“Wheeere is Jean?” Tiffany asked.\n\n“She is talking to Daria and Jodie,” Quinn said.\n\n“But now the classroom is a mess!” Mr DeMartino said.\n\n“Really, Jean’s mischievousness is going too far,” Sandi said. She was wondering about what happened earlier, when the emerald didn’t come through the time-warp with her.\n\n“Wish it [b:w1h2z9dg]clean[/b:w1h2z9dg], Ms Griffin!” Anthony said.\n\n“Of course,” Sandi said. She then wished the classroom clean and her and Tiffany unsoaked.\n\n\nStacy ran through the corridor towards the classroom. She and Kristen were late to History.\n\n\n“So, it is only going to get worse?” Daria asked Jean.\n\n“Much worse,” Jean said. Daria crossed her arms and stared at her. “I can’t predict what will happen,” she continued.\n\n“Actually, you have been talking as if you do know what is going to happen,” Daria said.\n\n“Like you have some foresight or something,” Jane said.\n\n“Golly, you’re good, Daria,” Jean said.\n\n“And?” Daria prompted.\n\n“And I got the information from time travellers back in the sixties during an ‘incident’ over in Oakwood. All that I’ll say about this afternoon is that I won’t be leaving the school with Sandi,” Jean said.\n\n“Who are you leaving with?” Jodie said.\n\n“I am not saying anything further,” Jean said. She then vanished, going to the History classroom.\n\n“Daria, she didn’t say that the emerald won’t leave with Sandi, just that she won’t be leaving with Sandi,” Jane said.\n\nDaria smirked “There’s wiggle room,’ she said. She then lead the way to class.\n\n\nStacy and Kristen entered the History classroom. “Ms Leung-[b:w1h2z9dg]Bell[/b:w1h2z9dg]. Ms Rowe, you’re [b:w1h2z9dg]late!”[/b:w1h2z9dg]\n\n“Sorry! There was a lot of rain!” Stacy said.\n\n“Apology accepted,” Mr DeMartino said.\n\n\nAn hour after recess, Ms Li came to. “What just happened?” she asked herself. She looked around at the office. It was a mess, both from the shorting out of all the equipment and the brief zero gravity happening. She glanced at the clock. It was stopped at 9:35. She looked at her watch. The digital component was blank, but the analogue component was also stuck at 9:35.\n“Great! This will be very expensive to fix!” she said. ‘Unless, of course, those rumours have a basis in fact!’ she thought. She examined the equipment again. It was quite dead. ‘I will have to use the phone in the faculty lounge,’ she thought. She left the office.\n\n\nMs Li entered the Faculty Lounge. It was empty, except for the barely noticeable Head Maths teacher, Jasper Ewing. She went over to the phone. She called the technicians whom usually worked on the school’s technical issues.\n\n\nAfter talking to the technicians the Principal went to the computer in the faculty lounge. She then logged out and then logged in using her administrator’s password. She soon found that the school’s backup server (in the basement beneath the library) was still up (she didn’t know that it too was affected by Jean’s tampering the previous morning).\nShe soon found that all of the information from that morning, (including recordings of the aborted questioning of Andrea and Torii) were there.\n“Good,” she said.\n\n\nAround the same time, a delegation of the Glen Oaks Mice approached the oak tree in the Morgendorffer’s backyard.\n\nCaptain Jaywi was surprised when one of the mice spoke. “Excuse me, Varmittan Squirrel Captain, we need to talk about the genie,” the mouse said. The squirrel jumped!\n\n“Don’t just come up like that! It’s just as well I have been briefed on your existence, otherwise I would have been frightened,” Captain Jaywi said.\n\n“Of course,” the lead mouse said.\n\n“What is it that you wanted to discuss?” Captain Jaywi asked.\n\n“About the Genie, it is highly likely that this situation will get out of control,” the lead mouse said.\n\n“The records that the Emperor has access to seem to indicate that,” Captain Jaywi said.\n\n“We have discussed the matter and agree that the humans, specifically this ‘Sandi’ person cannot be trusted with the emerald that this genie is associated with.”\n\n“That is obvious.”\n\n“The emerald thing must be taken from the ‘Sandi’ person and hidden from the humans, before more wish events occur,” the lead mouse said.\n\n“And what will happen then?” Captain Jaywi asked.\n\n“What do you mean?” the lead mouse asked.\n\n“How do I know that any of the mice in Lawndale won’t be tempted to use it for themselves? It may be as bad as the High School principal having it,” the squirrel said.\n\n“And you suggest that the squirrels hold it for ‘safe keeping’?” the mouse asked.\n\n“That is one option,” Captain Jaywi said, cautiously.\n\n“The same argument could be made about the squirrels,” one of the other mice said.\n\n“True,” Jaywi said.\n\n“Still, something must be done! We can figure out what happens to it later!” the lead mouse said.\n“Also true,” Captain Jaywi said.\n\nThe squirrel and the mice continued their discussion.\n\n\nAs the main lunch period began, Elias went to his locker and grabbed a couple of [i:w1h2z9dg]Babylon 5[/i:w1h2z9dg] videos out of it.\n\n\nAnna and Chip left Economics and decided to look for Sandi, rather than going to the science block.\n\n\nAs he entered the informal meeting of the Science Fiction Club, Elias was met by ‘The Head’ (So named for the MTV superhero character prominently displayed on all the shirts he wore.)\n\n“Is it true?” ‘The Head’ asked.\n\n“Is what true?” Elias asked.\n\n“About the genie?” ‘The Head’ asked.\n\n“Yes, that is true. Haven’t you seen that extra floor?” Elias asked.\n\n“But could be a scheme of Li’s accomplished via ‘smoke and mirrors’, couldn’t it?” ‘The Head’ asked.\n\n“Possibly, you could ask Upchuck whether that would be possible. But I have actually seen the genie, and there was that zero gravity happening earlier today.”\n\n“I was outside, and I will talk to Charles about it,” ‘The Head’ said. He stepped aside, allowing Elias into the room.\n\n\nElias returned the [i:w1h2z9dg]Babylon 5[/i:w1h2z9dg] videos to the Science Fiction Club’s VHS library. “Did you enjoy those episodes?” Jenna Oberton, whom had checked the videos back in, asked.\n\n“Definitely, Clark doesn’t know what is coming to him,” Elias said. He was curious as to the rest of the series though. “Is the Earth Civil War arc as good as the Shadow War arc?”\n\nJenna smiled and said “That would be telling.”\n\n“That’s ok,” Elias said. He thought of something. “Do we have any genie related fiction here, given recent events.\n\nJenna wasn’t as sceptical as ‘The Head’. “We do have some Fantasy works here, but I am not sure whether they would have a genie as an important character.\n\n\nA few minutes later their search had come up negative. “Oh well, I will just borrow this [i:w1h2z9dg]Conan[/i:w1h2z9dg],” Elias said.\n\n“Good choice,” Jenna, being a large Robert E. Howard fan, said.\n\n\nAnna approached Sandi from behind, in a crowded corridor, and grabbed the emerald off her, or at least tried to. “What are you doing?” Sandi and Chip said in accidental unison. (Most of the other students dispersed...)\n\n“I wish I was near the library, with this emerald,” Anna said. She and the emerald vanished.\n\n“This is not good!” Chip said.\n\nSandi glared at Chip. “Talk, you like, betrayer of a Track Star!” she said.\n\n“I had no idea that Anna wanted the emerald for herself,” Chip said, nervously.\n\n“Oh, Really?” Sandi asked, sceptically.\n\n“Honest!” Chip said.\n\n“Right! You are going to help me get that emerald back!” Sandi said.\n\n“How?” Chip asked.\n\n“Come with me!” Sandi said, with an expression that said; ‘This is non-negotiable!’\n\n\nElias was eating his packed lunch near the library with his friend [url=http&#58;//www&#46;theangstguy&#46;com/backgrounders/068&#46;html:w1h2z9dg]Samara Collins[/url:w1h2z9dg] when Anna appeared out of thin air.\n\nSamara was taken aback. “Now I have seen everything,” she said.\n\n“Why does she have the emerald?” Elias asked.\n\nAnna turned to Elias and Samara. “Why should that Sophomore Fashion Geek have it?” she asked.\n\n“I don’t have an answer to that,” Elias said.\n\n“But, did you just grab it off Sandi?” Samara asked.\n\n“Yeah, I did. So what!” Anna said, defiantly.\n\n“Look,” Samara said, to Elias. He looked where she was pointing and could see Sandi and Chip emerge from the main building using the exit near the Cafeteria.\n\n“This is going to be a very long lunch time,” Elias said.\n\n“I suppose so,” Samara said.','451042dd0a10b7fe06a9a1aa2d3d5d91',0,'cQ==','w1h2z9dg',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461918,31546,6,809,0,'64.255.164.124',1298016546,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The James Lane Chronicles Chapter 5 Part 3','I notice  people tend to make Tommy Sherman even worse of a schmuck than he was in canon, lately.

And, honestly, I don\'t expect all of us to make it. We\'re outnumbered, outgunned, and we don\'t have the resources they do. I\'m not going to sugar coat it; some of us are going to die today...maybe all of us.”\n\nJane sighed and looked down at the table, composing herself. When she looked back up, her eyes were watery but she didn\'t cry. \n\n“Thank you, everybody. For everything. If this is the end, I want you all to know...that I love you.” She sniffed then gave the confident smirk that everyone knew her for. “But some of you more than others. You know who you are.”\n\nThere was a small chuckle from the group. Jane wiped her nose and eyes and picked up one of the rifles. “All right, let\'s move out. We don\'t know how long we\'ve got--”\n\nIt was, of course, at that point that the body of Timothy O\'Neill crashed through the skylight in the ceiling and crashed onto the table, causing the entire group to let out a noise of surprise and fear. Everyone looked up in shock at the shattered skylight for a moment, before regaining their composure. Stacy and Brittany aimed their weapons at the jagged hole, while the others examined the body.\n\nO\'Neill wore a shocked expression of disbelief, as if he couldn\'t understand why he had just be stabbed in the chest with the large ceremonial dagger that glowed with red and black energy. Jane frowned and pulled the knife out. It slid out cleanly, with little resistance.\n\n“It\'s one of those weird ass blades that can pass through anything,” she pronounced. “Red and black.”\n\n“Judith,” Daria said quietly. The group looked back at the skylight, expecting Daria\'s doppelganger to rain helfire down on them at any second. The night sky was clear, the half moon hanging in the sky over head in a field of black.\n\n“Daria, slight change of plan,” Jane said, “Get Neely and come with me and Stacy. You two aren\'t going to be safe here.”\n\nDaria nodded, and went to bundle Neely up and get her into the “baby backpack” the group used to transport the infant when they had to be on the move. The rest of the group readied their weapons. Jane looked each of them over.\n\n“Get to your posts. Get ready. And most importantly...”\n\nShe swallowed as the group looked at her with unquestioned obedience. She choked down the fear that was welling up in her stomach and grit her teeth.\n\n“Don\'t die,” she finished. There was a moment of quiet agreement, then came a sound none of them thought they\'d ever hear.\n\n“Amen,” said Daria.\n\n--Erin M.','533f1dfb276c2e296a205a4902dd1022',0,'','am3bn8xi',1,0,'',0,0,0),(461941,31984,6,1001,0,'88.8.124.111',1298031890,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Day of the Daria','DEATH!!!!

This lead to bouncing, flouncing, and various unusual displays of the nude human body in motion that eventually all sort of blurred together for the four girls.\n\nAt least showering afterward was made easier by not having to change out of or into anything, giving the entire class a few spare minutes to get to the last class of the day.  The Fashion Club was chatting as they made they way down the hall when suddenly they heard a commotion coming their way.\n\nAngela Li, completely nude by this time, was running down the hallway yelling &quot;FREEEEEEDOOOOOOOM!&quot; at the top of her lungs.  She passed by the students, skidded around a corner, and disappeared just as Superintendent Cartwright came pelting along after her, his face a mask of apoplectic rage.\n\nThe old man came to a stop in the midst of the students and leaned on his knees as he tried to catch his breath.  Eventually he lifted his head, took in a deep breath, and held a finger up as if he was about to say something.  Whatever it was, he decided against it.  Shaking his head ruefully, he gathered himself back up and continued his pursuit of the rapidly escaping principal.\n\n&quot;Does that mean the nude fashion is over?&quot; Stacy asked nervously.  &quot;Should we-&quot;\n\n&quot;Perhaps it is best not to jump too hastily to conclusions and stuff,&quot; Sandi interrupted, then whispered, &quot;besides, Tiffany still doesn\'t have any clothing.  Just stick to the plan.&quot;\n\nThe odd spectacle over, the students went back to finding their lockers and grabbing books.  For the Fashion Club, seventh period was a study hall in the cafeteria, a time for rest and relaxation at the end of a hard day pretending to learn.  A time for club meetings about accessories, makeup, and the latest cute tops at Cashman\'s.  A time, it turned out, for mid-period announcements over the PA system.\n\n&quot;[i:3sipgt96]This is Superintendent Cartwright,[/i:3sipgt96]&quot; the crackly voice said, &quot;[i:3sipgt96]temporarily standing in for Ms. Li.  I\'m not sure what exactly precipitated this unusual behavior amongst the student bod- amongst the students, nor why it has been tolerated by the faculty.  However, it is obvious that it has become too large of a problem to be handled through standard procedures.[/i:3sipgt96]\n\n&quot;[i:3sipgt96]So I\'m looking to cut a deal,[/i:3sipgt96]&quot; he continued, his tone one of barely contained stress.  &quot;[i:3sipgt96]School is to be let out early - immediately - and this entire fiasco will be completely forgotten under three conditions.  One, everyone puts their damn clothes back on.  Two, everyone comes back tomorrow with their damn clothes still on.  And three, no one ever mentions any of this to anyone else.[/i:3sipgt96]\n\n&quot;[i:3sipgt96][b:3sipgt96]Ever.[/b:3sipgt96][/i:3sipgt96]&quot;\n\nThe PA fell silent as everyone glanced around at everyone else for several long moments.  Then, almost as one, they all stood up and started heading for their lockers on the way to the exits.  They chatted noisily as they went along with mixed currents of cheerfulness that they were getting to leave a little early and disappointment that they would have to go back to wearing clothes.\n\n&quot;Well,&quot; said Sandi as she and the other fashionistas stood, &quot;I believe we can finally call this a win.  Shall we?&quot;\n\nThe response was a unanimous affirmative.  They gathered up the fashion magazines they had been leafing through, dropped them off at their lockers while picking up their clothes, and headed out.\n\nThe entire trip back to Tiffany\'s house was made as quickly and as carefully as possible, with Quinn, Sandi, and Stacy standing in a circle around Tiffany to keep her safe from any prying eyes.  Bamboozling the school had been one thing, but they weren\'t sure they would be able to do the same to all of Lawndale, and it was better to play it safe.\n\nWhen they reached the front stoop of her home, Tiffany turned and smiled down at her friends.  &quot;Thanks, you guuuuuuys,&quot; she said, smiling broadly at them.  &quot;You roooooooooock.&quot;\n\n&quot;Think nothing of it, Tiffany dear,&quot; Sandi told her with a slight nod.  &quot;In a way, it was almost . . . fun.&quot;\n\n&quot;And we know you\'d totally do the same for any of us!&quot; Stacy added.\n\n&quot;Just, try not to forget your clothes tomorrow, okay?&quot; said Quinn.\n\nTiffany nodded emphatically.  &quot;I\'ll try to get my moooooom to write a note to remiiiiiiiind meeeeee,&quot; she assured them.\n\nWaving at them, she slipped inside.  Then, after saying their goodbyes to each other, the three girls departed for their own homes, finally bringing the long school day to a close.\n\n***\n\nLooking both ways down the hall to make sure they were clear, Tiffany quietly opened the school\'s side door and stepped out onto the commons.  Taking a right turn, she walked alongside the building, turning the corner when she reached it.  The area beyond that corner was a popular spot for smokers since it was difficult to see from any of the school\'s windows and it was easy to set up lookouts in the main commons area itself.\n\nTiffany hadn\'t sneaked out for a smoke, however.  She was there to meet someone.  Someone who was already there, waiting for her.\n\n&quot;So, I suppose it\'s time to settle up,&quot; the other girl said in her usual monotone.\n\n&quot;Yes,&quot; Tiffany said, her own voice just as noninflected but much faster than her usual drone.  &quot;And a sweet victory it is.&quot;\n\nDaria smirked as she rooted around in her jacket pocket before producing a crumpled hundred dollar bill.  &quot;I have to say, I\'m pretty impressed.&quot;\n\nTiffany gave her own slight smile.  &quot;Don\'t be too impressed,&quot; she said.  &quot;I didn\'t even have to do that much.  I was just about to suggest the whole \'all four of us should go nude\' thing when Sandi came up with it all on her own.&quot;\n\n&quot;Still, you did set the whole chain of events into place, and intentional or not, you ended up getting almost the entire school naked as well.  That was something else, and you definitely deserve this,&quot; Daria said, holding out the bill.\n\n&quot;[i:3sipgt96]Except[/i:3sipgt96],&quot; she continued, snatching the bill back from Tiffany\'s grasping hand, &quot;I seem to also remember we had a little side-wager about whether or not Jane would get naked, too.  Which she did.  And I didn\'t even have to nudge her into it like I\'d planned.  So . . . push bet?&quot;\n\nTiffany frowned deeply.  &quot;Push bet,&quot; she finally acquiesced with a nod.  &quot;And well played, Morgendorffer.  So, should we move on to the next wager, then?  What are we going to get our friends to do this time?&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh, Tiffany,&quot; Daria said as she wrapped an arm around the other girl\'s shoulders.  &quot;We inadvertently got almost the entire school to get naked with our last little bet.  The question now is, what [i:3sipgt96]aren\'t[/i:3sipgt96] we going to get them to do?&quot;\n\nGrins flashed and laughter filled the little smoking nook.  Tomorrow was definitely going to be a good day.\n\n[b:3sipgt96]END[/b:3sipgt96]\n\nRoland \'Jim\' Lowery\nFebruary 18, 2011','a68756af5ad524c2612d145b39313c00',0,'YA==','3sipgt96',1,1298051176,'',885,1,0),(461980,31935,6,1070,0,'205.188.116.137',1298051085,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The Latest Fashion (COMPLETE)','<!-- s:drink: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/drinks.gif\" alt=\":drink:\" title=\"Drink\" /><!-- s:drink: -->    Beautifully played.

(And not just Miley btw). Add in living with kids and the Disney channel it\'s even harder not to. And having picked up enough I tend to scan articles I find and when I saw [i:yzy64fus]Miles to Go[/i:yzy64fus] at the library (being displayed as a new book) I picked it up for a quick scan, actually found it interesting, and read the whole book (it was an easy read). \n\nIt\'s like how I can tell you a lot about the actress Alyson Hannigan from [i:yzy64fus]How I Met Your Mother[/i:yzy64fus] because I absorbed so much from the time I used to spend on the IMDB board for Buffy and clicking the odd YT vid of interviews and showings of her. When I get interested I just absorb a lot of info from a variety of sources. Heck, I\'ve even watched a few eps of [i:yzy64fus]How I Met Your Mother[/i:yzy64fus] simply because Alyson Hannigan is in it.\n\nIn some gossip magazine (for adults) I read at the fitness center I used to go to there was even a 1 page article in there of Billy Ray threatening Miley\'s Disney dollars because he was constantly making trouble for Disney on Miley\'s behalf (so it said--but I\'ve learned that such tabloids are as reliable as any other gossip) and it said something about that if Miley broke contract she couldn\'t work for anyone else for 3 years.  But I can\'t recall if this 3 year ban was only if it was for breaking the contract early or was also in place after the contract ended which is why I haven\'t said anything about it in this thread.\n\nAnd I thought the Hannah Montana show was cute, though it will never be a favorite. The first time I ever watched a Hannah ep was while babysitting and it was an ep where Miley gets mocked by snooty rich Californians for her Southern accent and she gets \'em back good which I grudgingly related to. And later I made A LOT of money taking kids to see the movie and I recall the show fondly because of that. I\'ve also found strange parallels to plots in it with [url=http&#58;//www&#46;thepaperpusher&#46;net/forum/viewtopic&#46;php?f=5&amp;t=26954:yzy64fus]Buffy the Vampire Slayer[/url:yzy64fus] and I\'ve read it has parallels with plots &amp; stories in [url=http&#58;//www&#46;thepaperpusher&#46;net/forum/viewtopic&#46;php?f=5&amp;t=28009:yzy64fus]I Love Lucy[/url:yzy64fus] which just strikes me as strange, even surprising (and so a little intriguing).\n\nAs for the music I think I\'ve heard her for years at b-day parties for children without knowing who it was before I realized she was the girl that was selling everywhere in all the mainstream stores. And after hearing how popular her tickets were on the news (and it sounded as if organized crime might be looking at them greedily) I also got curious about that. And as for Miley\'s vids specifically I do like the surrealist flair Miley tends to put into her Miley vids (I\'ve always liked surrealism). \n\nTo me it isn\'t strange that I know a lot about her.

And very popular.&quot;  You might even suspect that I\'m smart.  My &quot;Crestmore Law&quot; T-shirt and my horn-rimmed glasses might lead you to conclude &quot;hot lawyer coming through&quot; but a quick conversation will give it away.  I don\'t even want to think about Law School after flunking out.  My sister, Daria, does the heavy lifting intellectually.\n\nBut for three years, I was the goddess Athena.  I was a hard-core legeroid user.  Injections, pills, cycles, the whole works.  I could sweep aside a Jeopardy! Daily Double like I was Watson.  I could quote entire sections of Federal Law verbatim.  At one point, I pumped my IQ into the massive 220s, but I wasn\'t the most hardcore legger.  There were very pretty ex-models who were running all kinds of East German crap into their veins, hitting the 280s, whoring themselves out to black ops services or Russian hackers until they hit an early onset of prionic collapse and died in their 30s.\n\nIt\'s not always the prissies, where your brain turns into Swiss cheese in ten seconds and without warning, you keel over in front of your laptop.  It can be a lot of other things, none of them good.  My optic nerves began to go on the fritz and the crisis came in my apartment when I was struck blind for four days.  I was so afraid that someone would find out I was legging that I refused to go to the doctor.  I had already memorized the location of every single object in my apartment, anyway, and Stacy found out and stayed with me until the cycle wore off for long enough to me to regain my vision.  \n\nI told the doctor I had macular degeneration.  He laughed at me.  My retinas were fine.  Nothing was blocking the signal, it was mission control that was in arrears.  &quot;If you\'re so smart,&quot; he asked me, &quot;then why are you choosing such a [i:21eiesdo]stupid[/i:21eiesdo] way to die?&quot;\n\nI had no answer.  I always felt inadequate compared to my sister.  She could crack Thomas Pynchon without a sweat while I struggled with the Oprah Book Club.   I had no illusions about my mental ability going into Sweet Oak. I was smarter after tutoring, but I was never smart enough, no matter how many &quot;It Pays to Enrich Your Vocabulary&quot; articles I read.\n\nThat\'s when I met Becky.  Becky was very good looking.  A real Sweetheart of Delta Chi.  She was taking a double degree in mathematics and economics, and planned on transferring to Cal Tech.  I didn\'t know how she did it.  She was me and my sister put together.\n\n&quot;How do you find time to study?&quot; I asked.\n\n&quot;It was said that there is no Royal Road to algebra,&quot; Becky replied.  &quot;But I\'m taking the freeway.&quot;\n\n&quot;Road?  What road?&quot;\n\nThat\'s when she showed me the vial of clear liquid.  &quot;Take this,&quot; she said, &quot;and I can add 10 points to your IQ in just two weeks.&quot;\n\nAfter that, I was chasing the dragon.  I pumped the books harder than a quantum physicist on crack.  You had to pump books or the legeroids wouldn\'t do anything for you.  My friends and I, the leggers, used to chuckle at the professors giving their lectures, having reached the point minutes before they delivered it.  Sometimes we\'d bat our eyes and ask impossible questions that left them flustered.  A little bit of semantic treachery.\n\nBecky is dead now.  I was told that in the end her brain just stroked out on her.  Not the prissies, but worse than that - at least prionic collapse leaves you dead, dead, dead and but Becky was about as useful as a potted plant.  She made it eleven months on the machines before they finally switched her off.  All that blood pumping above the collarbone and something bad was bound to happen.  Apoplexy.  It\'s an occupational hazard.\n\nI never had a mini-stroke, never had a strange tingling in my extremities that promised to send me to the neurologist.  The hardest part was the initial loss of my aesthetic sense - my &quot;fashion sense&quot; if you will.  Unless you do a double-cycle - and double-cycles are hard to calibrate even for Single Ladies - you\'ll experience a diminshed right brain capacity.  Becky handed me a magazine called &quot;Just Us&quot; which was devoted to young college women and pre-professionals.\n\n&quot;Red, if you see anyone in this magazine with red hair, tear the page out and save it.  This is going to be your fashion sense from now on.  Don\'t fake it.  Don\'t trust your judgment because once you build your analytic IQ, your fashion judgment is going to fade away.&quot;  Just Us was a cheat magazine for leggers, with ads that appealed to a limited clientele.  &quot;How Becca Tortured Her Frontal Lobes to Hit 260!&quot; and sleep-learning tapes.  And page-long lists of permutations of various fashionable clothing brands on those days when we thought that green plaid was somehow a good idea. \n\nIn the end, I crashed and I got help from my parents and my sister.  I\'m now back to being me again, dumber but wiser.  If I want to be smart, I have to work for it and as for my fashion sense, there are days when I\'m fuzzy and clueless.\n\nHey, it\'s kind of weird.  I got into legging because I wanted to beat my sister - and after my collapse, we\'re more alike than ever now.

Instead, she found Les and another boy with Mack outside, Mack giving them quiet, annoyed words. They glared at her before leaving.\n\n“Thanks for the assist.”\n\n“Don’t.” Mack sounded [i:1gp4y41o]angry.[/i:1gp4y41o] “I’ll stop them beating you up in the school, but that’s [i:1gp4y41o]all[/i:1gp4y41o] you’re getting from me.”\n\n“I don’t underst-“\n\n“Of [i:1gp4y41o]course[/i:1gp4y41o] you don’t!

It’s like nuclear weapons: if you used them [i:1gp4y41o]all[/i:1gp4y41o] the time, everyone would go ‘oh, it’s a nuclear weapon, how last season’.”\n\n“Our intelligence says someone spilt water all over your seat in Geography, so you have to get your skirt wet and everyone can claim you pissed yourself.”\n\n“Intelligence?”\n\n“Andrea texted us from your class.” \n\n“Ah.” Daria thought for a second. \n\n\n---\n\n\nDaria walked into Geography class carrying the Lawndale Lions banner that hung over the school’s trophy cabinet.

Well, yes, some species of lizards have them. Some even have more. And regarding genes... you share enough gene material with pigs to make them suitable to grow organs for transplants.

Why isn\'t it human? Because it doesn\'t look human? Deformities exist in all species. Because it is young? To say that most people &quot;don\'t&quot; consider it human is hardly logical: Most people thought the world was flat.\n\nAnd is killing pigs murder? No, don\'t be silly. Murder is defined as the &quot;killing of another human being with malice aforethought.&quot; There\'s plenty of genetic material in pigs to define them as not human.','5e3b6ae914db342bca974d80ba4af1c2',0,'iA==','2uta0egi',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462036,27779,6,653,0,'76.123.117.71',1298070123,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Scenes That Should Be:  Breakfast of Zombie Champions','<!-- s:o --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_surprised.gif\" alt=\":o\" title=\"Surprised\" /><!-- s:o --> \n <!-- s:shock: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif\" alt=\":shock:\" title=\"Shocked\" /><!-- s:shock: --> \n\nDuuuuude.','cf58ff64127ff8c66137f765f797efb9',0,'','1zsy3f4o',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462037,31977,6,653,0,'76.123.117.71',1298070282,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Worldburner Info: Worldburner CLOSES on May 1','My entry is about 90% done.

Obama was elected to reform health care amongst other things.  He campaigned extensively on the issue.  There was no doubt he was going to attempt to reform health care, and so it should have been no surprise when the legislation passed.  Yet Republicans tried to kill it.

Obama\'s approval rating hovers with a slight advantage now (somewhere around 5-6 percent positive spread), but it has gone down since the election.

I am a Humanities student, and even I know that until three months in the pregnancy, the embryo is hardly what one could consider human. We\'re not talking about deformities or youth here. We\'re talking about atavic features (tail, gills). We\'re talking about lacking the minimum organs development to be able to survive five seconds out of the amniotic liquid bag. Let me repeat something, since you seemed not to be paying attention: until birth a fetus is NOT a complete human being. Does it have the genes and the cromosome you are so focused on? Hell, yes. So are the millions of hair and skin cells you lose every day. Let\'s refresh our Biology high school lessons: biologically, pregnancy starts when a single male spermatozoon joins a female ovum, and the mixture of the genetic material contained in both gametes form the zygote, wich is a single cell that will multiply and develop in the next 9 months to form the baby that will (or not) born. Considering this: Do you consider this the moment where all contraceptive measures should be halted because this new life is already formed and has rights as a new human being already? If yes, do you consider the use of after-day pills a crime akin to abortion and therefore should be prosecuted the same way you think abortion should? If no, where do you put the line between proper action and unproper action?[/quote:32q7oh75]\n\nAnd your point is what exactly? You\'ve spent an awful long time talking about a fetus\'s features with seemingly no point other than to point out it looks nothing like a human. As it develops, it grows, parts of it, just as any living creature does. Strong evidence for evolution, but it doesn\'t do a single thing to prove the fetus isn\'t human. If we assume you are correct for a moment and a fetus is not a human, care to explain how birth &quot;transforms&quot; this fetus into a human? And if so, does that mean a person born by Caesarian section isn\'t human? And what of premature births? I was eight weeks early, and wasn\'t in my mother for nine months. Does that make me not human? \n\nAnd to answer your question about morning-after pulls, I\'ve already answered this, but the answer is yes, provided they were taken after intercourse, that would be wrong (if I recall, there are some you can take beforehand and they still work.) \n\n[quote=&quot;Raskolnikov&quot;:32q7oh75]Aaaahh.

I am a Humanities student, and even I know that until three months in the pregnancy, the embryo is hardly what one could consider human. We\'re not talking about deformities or youth here. We\'re talking about atavic features (tail, gills). We\'re talking about lacking the minimum organs development to be able to survive five seconds out of the amniotic liquid bag. Let me repeat something, since you seemed not to be paying attention: until birth a fetus is NOT a complete human being. Does it have the genes and the cromosome you are so focused on? Hell, yes. So are the millions of hair and skin cells you lose every day. Let\'s refresh our Biology high school lessons: biologically, pregnancy starts when a single male spermatozoon joins a female ovum, and the mixture of the genetic material contained in both gametes form the zygote, wich is a single cell that will multiply and develop in the next 9 months to form the baby that will (or not) born. Considering this: Do you consider this the moment where all contraceptive measures should be halted because this new life is already formed and has rights as a new human being already? If yes, do you consider the use of after-day pills a crime akin to abortion and therefore should be prosecuted the same way you think abortion should? If no, where do you put the line between proper action and unproper action?[/quote:1053fwa4]\n\nAnd your point is what exactly? You\'ve spent an awful long time talking about a fetus\'s features with seemingly no point other than to point out it looks nothing like a human. As it develops, it grows, parts of it, just as any living creature does. Strong evidence for evolution, but it doesn\'t do a single thing to prove the fetus isn\'t human. If we assume you are correct for a moment and a fetus is not a human, care to explain how birth &quot;transforms&quot; this fetus into a human? And if so, does that mean a person born by Caesarian section isn\'t human? And what of premature births? I was eight weeks early, and wasn\'t in my mother for nine months. Does that make me not human? [/quote:1053fwa4]\n\nYou know what my point is, I\'ve repeated several times. Until birth a fetus is nothing but an extension of the women\'s body, unable to live outside of her body, and as a part of the woman\'s body she should be able to decide what to do with it. How birth determines that a fetus turns into human? Very simple. The body has decided that the seed planted is mature enough to live out of the body and expels it. It is another human. Until now, it\'s not. \n\n[quote=&quot;HolyGrail2007&quot;:1053fwa4]And to answer your question about morning-after pulls, I\'ve already answered this, but the answer is yes, provided they were taken after intercourse, that would be wrong (if I recall, there are some you can take beforehand and they still work.)[/quote:1053fwa4]\n\nWhew! What a relief. You know, just for a moment, I feared you\'d just give a sensible answer, or hesitate a little, or perhaps admitting that that part of the argumentation was a little shady. But no, you haven\'t failed to give the most absurdly stupid and ridiculous answer.\n\nAd hominem, I know, but I just couldn\'t resist.\n\n[quote=&quot;HolyGrail2007&quot;:1053fwa4][quote=&quot;Raskolnikov&quot;:1053fwa4]Aaaahh.

If you don\'t drag God into it, it ceases to be religious. [/quote:1053fwa4]\n\nNo, no, see, that\'s the part you\'re misunderstanding, consciously or not. Personally, I think you\'re just diverting the attention, but who knows. See, what I\'m saying is, you\'re deliberatingly avoiding the word &quot;God&quot; in your argumentation just so you can pass as a mildy reasonable person to argue with, and not a fundie crackpot to dismiss and ridicule.

Recapitulation theory really doesn\'t seem to have a bearing on that. A human fetus may have characteristics similar to something else in it\'s past, or be similar to another creature, but it is a human. It\'s not going to turn into a cat or an amoeba. Thus, the definition of murder applies to it and not to a fertilized amoeba. \n\nIf this does not answer your question, please let me know.[/quote:1nj36uaa]\nWell, sort of, but I probably worded it badly so let me try again.\n\nLet\'s stick to the single cell point for a moment. A single human cell is genetically different to an amoeba, but it\'s still a single cell. In fact the amoeba is arguably much more advanced - it\'s capable of living independently, for instance, and responding to its environment in ways that the fertilised ovum can\'t. So what makes the human cell more more worthy of protection than the amoeba?[/quote:1nj36uaa]\n\nI don\'t think the question was worded badly, I understand it fine. The human fetus (the single cell at the moment of sperm and egg joining) is worthy of protection because it is human. I\'ve argued before that the definition of murder, a punishable crime is &quot;ending of another human life with malice aforethought.&quot; An abortion qualifies as this, even if the fetus is but a single cell, because it is a human life. Abortion is a planned procedure, with waivers, disclaimers, a waiting period, and all that. Even if was an &quot;in-and-out&quot; procedure, the mother still determines to end the life before doing it. That handles the &quot;malice aforethought&quot; part. \n\nDoes this help?','3f842ab3c7241fecdec8ceaa50fc98bf',0,'gA==','1nj36uaa',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462101,31969,6,1161,0,'99.33.85.60',1298080056,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Bound to Highland (Part 2)','<!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D -->  <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D --> I like this!

He saw Daria kicking at Brittany, who was desperately trying to bite Daria. He aimed the shotgun at Brittany and moved forward, hoping to talk her out of what she was doing.\n[b:1y3dg1zd]BANG! BANG![/b:1y3dg1zd]\nDaria managed to fire two shots, one catching Brittany in the chest, the other in the face. She fell to the ground and lay still. Mack raced over and helped Daria to her feet.\n“Did she bite you?”\n“No, but that was too close,” Daria said impassively. She stared at Brittany’s corpse for a moment, then impulsively hugged Mack tight. “If you tell anyone I did that…”\n“Not even a zombie attack could drag it out of me,” he said, chuckling at Daria’s discomfort.\nShe hopped back in the window and addressed everyone. “Ok, change of plans: We stay calm, but we get the hell out of here. We need to find somewhere safe.”\nQuinn walked back in from the kitchen. “Daria, I can’t get mom or dad on the phone.” She paused. “What happened to the window?”\n\nThey searched the house and found a revolver in Jake’s dresser. As they left, they stayed in a loose huddle, with Daria and Mack carrying the shotguns while Tom carried the revolver. Making their way down the street, they managed to avoid the crowds for a while. Then suddenly\n“QB!QB!” Turning, they saw Kevin at the front of a crowd. He pointed and as one the group turned and shuffled after them.\n“Run!” Jodie screamed, taking off as Mack and Daria raised their shotguns.\n“Tom, get them out of here!” Daria yelled as she aimed into the crowd. Tom grabbed Quinn and dragged her off. She fought him every step, not wanting to leave Daria behind.\n“Remember, Mack, aim for the heads.”\n[b:1y3dg1zd]BANG![/b:1y3dg1zd] Kevin fell to the ground as his face ceased to exist.\n“Damn, that felt good,” Mack whispered, aiming at another in the mob. He was about to pull the trigger when he realized that the mob had stopped moving and was milling around Kevin’s corpse.\n“Wait, Daria,” he said just as she pulled the trigger. Another dropped, and the crowd turned as one and started shuffling again. They kept firing until they ran out of ammo.\n“There are only a couple left,” Daria muttered. “I hope the others got somewhere safe.”\nJust then, Ted came running back with a blood smeared sword in hand. “The others are at the gun shop three blocks over! Hurry!” He charged at the remainder of the crowd, and with a few swipes of the sword they fell headless to the ground.\nThe three ran to the gun store and found the others stocking up on ammo and guns.\n“Daria, this is really creeping me out!” Quinn yelled as she loaded a pistol clip.\n“Me too, Quinn,” Daria said, scrounging for ammo.\n“Daria, did you see how they all stopped when I shot Kevin?” Mack asked.\n“Yeah,” said Daria. “What are you thinking, Mack?”\n“Maybe it’s like some of those…..things are in charge of the others. You kill the one in charge, and they just stop. Unless, of course, you keep shooting,” he said, giving Daria a sarcastic grin.\n“Point taken,” Daria mumbled as she loaded her shotgun.\n\nNow fully armed to the teeth, the group made its way to a fast-food chain just around the corner.\n“Everybody get something to eat,” Daria said as she turned on the TV set against the wall.\n\n[i:1y3dg1zd]“The city of Lawndale has been overcome by riots as the police have either pulled back or joined the crowds. There’s no word yet as to the cause of the riots, but it is estimated that several thousand have joined in, with that number continuing to grow. There have been reports of fatalities, but so far no confirmation on how many have died. The National Guard has been called in to block off the city, and are making it clear that the mobs will need to disperse immediately. We now go live to Greg Hardy, who is live on the scene in Lawndale itself. Greg?”\n“Joann, I’m standing in front of McGrundy’s Pub, once a quiet bar, but now seemingly the source of the riots. Witnesses, those few that are still here, report that a violent mob stormed out of the bar four hours ago, and began attacking passerby. We’re going to try to get inside and see what happened here to cause these events.”[/i:1y3dg1zd]The camera followed Greg in the open doors. Inside was an old man sitting next to a small fire, muttering to himself.\n[i:1y3dg1zd]“Sir? Are you alright? Karl, get a look at this! Is that what I think it is?”[/i:1y3dg1zd]\n[i:1y3dg1zd]“Greg! Look out!”[/i:1y3dg1zd] The camera suddenly fell to the  floor as the cameraman screamed in pain. Though tilted, the camera showed a large cone-shaped object laying on the floor. After a long moment, which was filled with sounds of violence and pain, the camera shut off.\n[i:1y3dg1zd]“Ladies and gentlemen, if you are in the city of Lawndale, we urge you to remain calm and proceed immediately to the National Guard checkpoints at the city’s limits.”[/i:1y3dg1zd]\nDaria turned the TV off and sat numbly on the floor.\n“Daria?” Mack asked quietly as he sat beside her.\n“We’ve got a big problem,” Daria said, barely whispering.\n“What?”\nShe shook her head. “Never mind. We’ve got to get out of Lawndale. [b:1y3dg1zd]NOW[/b:1y3dg1zd].” \nJodie looked up from her meal and shook her head. “We’re only alive because we were lucky. We should stay in one place, so we don’t get caught unaware like we did on the street earlier. Maybe the gun store, so we’ll have ammo.” Daria suppressed a scornful laugh as she realized that Jodie was the only unarmed member of their group.\n“Whatever McGrundy did to these people, it’s not likely to stop anytime soon, so we need to get out of here. Jennifer”\n“Burnout,” she mumbled.\n“Whatever. She has a sample of that drug Trent was talking about. She needs to get out so they can analyze it and hopefully find a way to detox people who have been affected.”\n“Daria, what about mom and dad?” Quinn asked as she picked at a salad.\n“Quinn…”\n“Damn it, Daria, just because you don’t have any feelings doesn’t mean”\nShe stopped as Daria reached back to hit her, but Jane grabbed her hand.\n“Daria, amiga, something has you wigged out aside from this George Romero acid trip we’re stuck in. What?”\nDaria hesitated, uncertain of herself. This was enough to put everyone else on edge.\n“On the TV, at McGrundy’s,” she said softly.\n“Yeah, that was pretty creepy”\n“NO! You don’t get it! The old bastard has a nuke!”\nSilence fell.\n“That’s what that thing was, the thing that looked life a cone. Do you remember?”\nThey all nodded.\n“That was a nuclear bomb. Probably about a 100 kilo-ton yield. Which means that Lawndale will be a smoking crater if that goes off.”\nAndrea was the first to speak.\n“How would he even get one?”\n“Black market. I researched this stuff for one of my Melody Powers stories, dealing with a group smuggling a nuke into the US.”\n“Ok, bigger question: Why?”\n“What would happen if a nuke went off inside the US while a horde of zombies was rampaging across the country?”\nNo one had an answer for Daria, so she grabbed a hamburger that no one had touched and ate it quickly.\n“We probably can’t stay here very long before someone comes across us. We need to get moving again.”\nAs the others finished their meals, Daria pulled Jodie aside. “Why don’t you have a weapon, Jodie?” she asked softly.\n“I just…I’m not the violent type, Daria,” Jodie said, hanging her head.\n“You need to get that way. Quick.” She turned to everyone else. “We need to escort Burnout to the checkpoints so she can pass this stuff on. Everyone ready?”\nThey all nodded and set out again. \n\nThree hours later, the group came upon an area with large concrete blocks and hundreds of dead bodies. Ignoring the corpses as best they could, they walked past the concrete. Suddenly, a spotlight shined on them.\n“Stay where you are!”\nThey froze instantly.\n“Identify yourselves!”\n“We’re trying to get out of the city!” Jane yelled as loud as she could.\n“Are any of you infected?”\n“No! In fact, we figured out what’s causing it!”\nA group of soldiers in full gear approached them, weapons pointed. Burnout handed over the baggie, and the soldiers left.\n“Can we leave the city now?” Jane yelled.\nThere was no reply.\n“Anyone else starting to get creeped out by all of this?” Mack asked quietly.\n“I’m going to say yes,” Jane replied, glancing at Mack. Her eyes suddenly went wide. “ANDREA!”\nThey all saw the red dot on Andrea’s forehead just before the bullet hit, dropping her to the ground. As one, they turned and ran.\nAnother shot rang out, and Burnout fell. Jodie screamed as a bullet tore through her leg, but Mack caught her and kept running, dropping his shotgun in the process.\nThey kept running until the checkpoint was far enough back that the snipers had stopped taking shots at them. They ducked into an abandoned house to catch their breath.\n“What” gasp “the Hell” gasp “was that?!” Jane asked.\n“Lock” gasp “down” replied Daria, leaning against a kitchen counter fighting a cramp.\nMack, the only one not winded, ran to the bathroom and came back with iodine and bandages. He quickly cleaned Jodie’s injury, and then checked the others for any wounds.\n“That could have gone better,” he said blandly.\nDaria looked around, suddenly in a panic. “Quinn? Where’s Quinn?!”\n\nA few blocks away, Quinn and Stacy stopped running and tried to catch their breath. They had gotten separated from the group right after the shooting started.\n“Quinn, are you ok?” Stacy asked once she could talk again.\nQuinn nodded, still too winded to speak.\nA trashcan up the street tipped over, and Tiffany came walking towards them.\n“Tiffany! Are you ok?”\nShe kept walking, mechanically.\n“Tiffany?” \nTiffany lunged for them, arms out, mouth open.\n[b:1y3dg1zd]BANG![/b:1y3dg1zd]\nQuinn shot Tiffany in the eye, watching sadly as she fell to the ground.\nSandi appeared from a doorway. “Nice”\n[b:1y3dg1zd]BANG![/b:1y3dg1zd]\nStacy’s bullet caught her right in the forehead.\n“Um, Stacy? I don’t think she was a zombie.”\n“Oops,” Stacy said with a shrug. “Quinn, what should we do now? Try to find the others?”\n“No. Daria almost got us killed last time. Let’s go find our parents.”\n“Mine are out of town. Where do your parents work?”\nThey set out for Helen’s lawfirm, gripping their pistols tight.','e807cd7a4a6c0e92fb08ccecd4d32f2e',0,'YA==','1y3dg1zd',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462123,31985,5,849,0,'67.142.162.22',1298089976,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: What would the daria cast drink?','Hmm, I don\'t think that anything Jane drinks would [i:1v98c8u2]require[/i:1v98c8u2] caffeine (we only see her drinking coffee for a moment in &quot;Daria Dance Party&quot;, unless I\'m forgetting other references), but some sort of drink that includes coffee still sounds plausible.   <!-- s:) --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif\" alt=\":)\" title=\"Smile\" /><!-- s:) --> \n\n[quote=&quot;Jim North&quot;:1v98c8u2]Helen: Scotch on the rocks.

I figured after publicly throwing brainstorming paint at the wall in my previous Daria/Question post (<!-- l --><a class=\"postlink-local\" href=\"http://thepaperpusher.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=31933\">viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=31933</a><!-- l -->), I would come up with what passes for a tiny, tiny fic coming from me.  Just a quick glance into this universe, featuring some of the broad strokes of what\'s in my head.  Unfortunately, I can\'t promise a regular update schedule at this time.  Enjoy.\n\n[b:1vht9oy8]AN:[/b:1vht9oy8] Own nothing.  Just a quick little peek into one particular universe that lives in my head.  I know my Daria-voice probably needs work, which is why I\'m letting her actions speak louder than her words here, and will do my best to improve it in future.  Allusions to George Orwell, the Who, Stargate: SG-1, Family Matters (yes, [i:1vht9oy8]that one[/i:1vht9oy8]), “In Any Other World,” &quot;Apocalyptic Daria&quot; (this one\'s really subtle), and various other bits of canons and fanons abound; not used with intent to plagiarize.  I’d love to hear your thoughts.\n\n--\n\nQuestion flexed her fingers anxiously over the keyboard, watching the file transfer progress bar move slowly but inexorably towards completion.  She looked up into her own reflection in the chromed overhead lamp.  A 5’ 3” girl in a deep charcoal grey three piece suit and mustard yellow silk dress shirt and black tie stared back, her ink-dark matching leather duster hiding her figure from the world -- just the way she liked it.\n\nOr she would have stared.  The seemingly blank fleshy void where her face should have been betrayed none of her feelings; it couldn’t, lacking a mouth or nose, and giving the impression of empty eye sockets covered by pristine skin, all framed by long raven black hair and a charcoal fedora.  Horrendous.  Unnatural.  Hitchcockian.  Just perfect for letting the scum of the earth project their own worst fears into her not-really-glower before she made sure they had a [i:1vht9oy8]really[/i:1vht9oy8] bad day.  Since no one could see, she let herself grin.  Also just the way she liked it, these days.\n\nNot exactly a stretchy-stretchy costume, but she was rather fond of it just the same.\n\nShe glanced at the terminal’s clock, and sucked in a breath before glancing nervously at the door.  No reason to be nervous.  Just eight inches of carbon steel blast door between her and fifty government conspiracy stooges who, should they catch her, would kill her quickly only if she were having the [i:1vht9oy8]luckiest[/i:1vht9oy8] of lucky nights.  More likely she’d get stripped, beaten, and subjected to something that made the Ingsoc Party’s Room 101 look like a particularly clean Pizza Forrest.  No pressure.\n\n[i:1vht9oy8]Gilligan and the Professor could have put together a faster computer system than this with coconuts and a banana.  If I were running Project Valkyrie, I’d invest in technology more responsive than an Etch-a-Sketch.  Of course, I’d also be an evil, soulless bitch, so I guess there’s that tradeoff to consider.  They must be too busy committing atrocities to modernize the spare access terminals.  ...  I should’ve been in and out of here two minutes ago.  The video loop I spliced into their surveillance system wasn’t meant to have to last this long.  Damn it.[/i:1vht9oy8]\n\nOnce they discovered the loop, things would get far more exciting than she was generally comfortable with.  She brushed a gloved hand over the hypersonic signal watch on her left wrist, then pulled it back, forcibly clamping down on her nerves. [i:1vht9oy8] No.  Whole reason I’m here alone is to keep Power Girl from being directly involved until we have more evidence and it doesn’t look like we’re trying to overthrow the U.S. Government for kicks.  Big Blue Girl Scout’s gotta keep her nose clean for now.[/i:1vht9oy8]  Her head jerked towards the computer when the file transfer chirped its completion, and she smirked.  [i:1vht9oy8]Guess Dad has it right.  Technology really does listen if you insult it enough.[/i:1vht9oy8]  She leaned forward, disconnecting the portable drive and slipping it into a shock-proof compartment inside her longcoat just as a klaxon blared.\n\nA deep, booming, vaguely familiar voice announced: [i:1vht9oy8]“Intruder Alert!  Sublevel C, Sector Four!  Intruder Alert!”[/i:1vht9oy8]\n\n[i:1vht9oy8]What, did they hire the Allstate guy to do security announcements?  You’re in good hands, my ass.[/i:1vht9oy8]  “Well,” Question breathed in a voice deliberately held an octave lower than the one she was born with, rising smoothly to her feet even as a rush of cold dread spread from her spine to the tips of her toes, “[i:1vht9oy8]shit[/i:1vht9oy8].”  Fifty gang-bangers and a half dozen pimps?  No problem.  She could handle that.  [i:1vht9oy8]Had[/i:1vht9oy8] handled that just a few days ago, when she’d crashed the Boston Chapter meeting of the Idiot Criminals Who Conveniently Gather All in One Place So I Can Truss Them Up for the FBI Club.  Fifty black ops mercenaries working for some black bag, damn-near-untraceable-despite-six-months-of-trying branch of the National Intelligence Department that was doing who knew what with metahuman DNA (and maybe actual metahumans?) -- Question was anything but stupid, and knowing your limits kept you alive, and she liked to think she’d grown as a person enough to admit when she [i:1vht9oy8]might[/i:1vht9oy8] actually be out of her depth.\n\nShe shifted from one foot the other for a moment before the weight of the portable drive pressed against her hip, and she remembered why she was here, remembered wide, panicked ice blue eyes glazing over as blood poured across ivory skin from crimson lips opened wide in a gurgling scream, long thin fingers going limp in the-girl-who-would-be-Question’s trembling hands.\n\nShe remembered the first question, the one that led to all the others: [i:1vht9oy8]Why?[/i:1vht9oy8]\n\nAnd now, after more than a year of hellish training; skillfully avoiding all the lame first-meeting-of-superheroes comic book cliches when she teamed up with Power Girl the first time and [i:1vht9oy8]enjoyed[/i:1vht9oy8] the experience even as she guiltily thought of glacier-blue; and six months of chasing NID ghosts and walking into the street and discovering the corruption, the forgotten and the voiceless and the damned, and realizing she couldn’t just ignore them because she had her [i:1vht9oy8]own[/i:1vht9oy8] mystery to solve.  Painting a target on her back the size of Angela Li’s ego and not really giving a damn because [i:1vht9oy8]someone should[/i:1vht9oy8] and not even Power Girl could be everywhere at once.  Now, she finally, [i:1vht9oy8]finally[/i:1vht9oy8] had the answers she needed waiting in a shock-proof compartment in her coat.\n\nAnd they thought they were going to stop her when she was [i:1vht9oy8]this close[/i:1vht9oy8]?\n\nShe blew out a steady breath.  [i:1vht9oy8]No question.[/i:1vht9oy8]  She faced the door and shifted her stance once more as she heard pounding footsteps in the distance, falling into the loose ready stance Mr. D had drilled into her head, her overcoat billowing around her as she took stock of herself, feeling the by-now comforting weight of the layered body armor woven into her clothing, the steel-plated leather-nomex vambraces on her forearms, the leather-nomex gloves snug against her hands, crossbow resting in its holster on her right hip.  She flicked her left wrist, the graphite bo Urkel had designed for her sliding into her waiting palm.  She thumbed the release and twirled it with a flourish, finding the best grip almost without thinking.\n\nQuestion slid deep into herself with practiced ease, the world seeming to slow and her emotions calm as she pushed her mind into the overdrive that had been hers to harness since the day the NID decided to make themselves a part of her life by taking away the only unambiguously good thing that had ever happened to her.  Her thoughts cleared, all the world\'s little details stood out even more sharply than before, and she let herself begin to make the connections.  [i:1vht9oy8]Eight foot hallway … twelve by eight room …[/i:1vht9oy8] her thought processes sped: security’s likely formation and armaments given the available room to maneuver, most likely pattern of fire, most likely ballistic angles ([i:1vht9oy8]Rule One: Don’t Die Unless It’s Required to Save the World.[/i:1vht9oy8]), enemy body armor she’d have to bypass, Mr. D\'s not so gentle reminder that “Even with that LOVELY COAT to make you more IMPOSING, they will UNDERESTIMATE you because of your SIZE and confuse PETITENESS for WEAKNESS, and you must always SEIZE the ADVANTAGE before it is TAKEN from you.”  … Once more she reminded herself she [i:1vht9oy8]seriously[/i:1vht9oy8] needed to get Mr. D to relax more.\n\nAll this and more revealed itself before her, like one of those sliced up, fried onion things her father loved so much, and she sank [i:1vht9oy8]deeper[/i:1vht9oy8], looking for the connections, the pattern that would get her [i:1vht9oy8]survival[/i:1vht9oy8] and [i:1vht9oy8]escape[/i:1vht9oy8].\n\nAs part of her noticed the oncoming horde couldn’t be more than thirty seconds away, it [i:1vht9oy8]clicked[/i:1vht9oy8], and the way home lay before her, gold bricks and rolling hills and stupid flying monkeys that had taken her first, best friend and would learn the error of their ways soon enough.\n\nQuestion pressed down on one of her cufflinks, and slunk back into the yellow fog that filled the room as she recalled Trent’s voice as he had been “practicing the classics” last night.  The door locks began to disengage as the monkeys keyed in their override codes  -- the same codes she had stolen so she could get in here in the first place.\n\n[i:1vht9oy8]My love is vengeance, and that’s never free…[/i:1vht9oy8]  Behind the Question’s blank face, where no one could see, Daria Morgendorffer smiled.\n\n--\n\nThats it for now.

Delicate &amp; supple, building up tone in layers. You\'re also learning to trust your eye - the head posture is much improved as a result. The only negative is that with regard to the chair &amp; the calves, I would have used a similar approach to the level of tone used, because the hint of chair with strong legs visually implies that she is hovering in mid air somewhat. Think about the composition of your drawing when you\'re working, and selectively edit where required. Also, challenge yourself to use the props as well as the model in your drawings. The chair is very simple in contrast to the model and it detracts from the overall composition.\n\nThe second drawing feels exhausted. When you feel yourself getting exhausted with a subject it is often best to put the piece down and either start again with different media, or on a different subject. If that doesn\'t work, stop work for the day. You can always return to the subject at a later stage. Remember that if you\'re tired of what you\'re doing, it will come through in your work and your audience will often find the work in question dull.\n\n\n@ Breita\n\nI like this one a lot better. It has a lot more energy. It may be less accurate, but the energy more than makes up for it. The lines are bolder &amp; more confident. Look at the things you got right in this drawing. Line is good, balance is good, energy is excellent.

A single human cell is genetically different to an amoeba, but it\'s still a single cell. In fact the amoeba is arguably much more advanced - it\'s capable of living independently, for instance, and responding to its environment in ways that the fertilised ovum can\'t. So what makes the human cell more more worthy of protection than the amoeba?[/quote:2qklkngg]\n\nI don\'t think the question was worded badly, I understand it fine. The human fetus (the single cell at the moment of sperm and egg joining) is worthy of protection because it is human. I\'ve argued before that the definition of murder, a punishable crime is &quot;ending of another human life with malice aforethought.&quot; An abortion qualifies as this, even if the fetus is but a single cell, because it is a human life. Abortion is a planned procedure, with waivers, disclaimers, a waiting period, and all that. Even if was an &quot;in-and-out&quot; procedure, the mother still determines to end the life before doing it. That handles the &quot;malice aforethought&quot; part. \n\nDoes this help?[/quote:2qklkngg]\nThanks, but no. You\'re begging the question: &quot;a human cell is more worthy of protection than an amoeba because it\'s human&quot; is a classic example of that particular fallacy.\n\nWhat I want to know is [i:2qklkngg]why[/i:2qklkngg].\n\nI hope you don\'t mind me pushing this. I\'m really interested. If your answer is based on religion, e.g. &quot;because the human cell has a soul and the amoeba doesn\'t&quot;, that\'s fine - if so, say so. That will answer my question and I won\'t take it further - we can just agree to disagree.\n\nBut if it\'s more than that, then I really stand to learn something that might lead me to clarify my own thoughts. Let me explain them briefly: there\'s a point at which I don\'t believe a foetus should be aborted, but I\'m not at all sure where that point is.

Still she moved, down the path, towards a massive bridge. Stone, tar and roots intertwining, spanning over a massive chasm. With not even a glance backward, she continued across the large structure, seemingly unalarmed at the crumbling portions of the bridge, nor the massive field of blood red flowers seemingly growing out of the end before a massive gap. Looking around, she spotted a thin, almost nonexistent slab, still spanning the gap.\n\n\nBarely managing to cross the slab before it gave way, Daria stood, watching as it crumbled to the gorge below, before turning around to face the lush forest before her. A vague memory from her past, something her father once said. [i:35zz0p7g]&quot;The Forest to the north is the Zaulia\'s Daria, they\'re fierce, but they\'d just as soon kill you as talk to you, or something like that....They got those fire breathing cats....or was it dogs? Panthers? No no no, the Panthers have those eye beam things....&quot;[/i:35zz0p7g] A sad smile rose on the girl\'s face, &quot;I\'ll be there soon Dad...&quot; she whispered. The Zaulia could be a shelter....a way to still fight the demons, but that no longer held interest for the girl. She was tired of fighting, of getting close to people, only to have them stab you right as you got close. Sighing, she turned away from the forest entrance, a far, far larger series of stone slabs pointing more southwest, around the gorge she just crossed. That was the way she felt she had to go.\n\n\nHer back to the Zaulia, Daria continued, almost instinctively drawn forward, something faintly whispering into her head. [i:35zz0p7g]Come to me, my dear, drown your tears within me, let me heal your sorrow.[/i:35zz0p7g] It seemed to say, a distant voice, yet at the same time, one she always felt she knew. Her walking increased, the native creatures of the area not hindering her progress in the least, some primal understanding within all of them, a command from a voice more natural to them than even their own instincts telling them to not hinder the new being walking though their domain.\n\n\nDaria paused, briefly, her eyes roaming across the massive graveyard, filled with the unknown masses that presumingly fought and died from the Black Tear Rebellion. Her eyes briefly glanced upon a single headstone, before she shook her head, there were more important things to be done. Turning away once more from her thoughts, she continued down the slope, her pace picking up, almost as if some part of her knew what was up ahead, the whispers in her head now far louder. Her head hung low as she walked, [i:35zz0p7g]&quot;The Sea will help, the Tears will take away all this pain I feel.. No more Trent, no more Jane, no more Tom...&quot;[/i:35zz0p7g] she thought, making her way though a cavern entrance, the outside bearing an almost skull-like form. \n\n\nHer hands running across the ancient rock, she entered the cavern fully, her eyes widening at the glorious site before her. A massive, pitch black cathedral, seeming to reach the top of the cavern itself, stood just past a massive stone bridge, the black rock the only thing spanning between the two, over a massive pool, almost a lake, filled with a black liquid. The Sea of Black Tears. Slowly, she walked though the almost field like center, glancing once more at the black building as she finally stood in the center of the bridge, looking down upon the Sea itself.\n\n\nJust barely sighing, she closed her eyes, visions of Tom accusing her, damning her after she opened her heart to him, of him driving off with Jane aside him filling her mind, as she slowly climbed atop the stone railing. Closing her eyes once more, she took a deep breath, the voice in her head all she heard, as she dove, diving into the Sea. With a shock, Daria\'s eyes opened, the voice gone, as realization struck. Looking back and forth, she tried to swim upward, finally realizing where she was, as several massive tendrils, pitch black, rose up around her, wrapping around her legs, her waist, and her throat, pulling her downward....\n\n\n\nThe Sea seemed to bubble, a thin pillar of the water seeming to rise out, as a body slowly rose from the water, standing atop the spout. Her body seemingly coated in places by liquid shadow itself, clinging to places like a dress, other places like gloves, the figure rose forward, straightening out her body. Finally opening her eyes, Daria smirked, a smirk full of both malice and despair. Tom would pay, Jane would pay, Ironheade would pay, and then so would Doviculus. The Queen of Black Tears had finally risen, and all would feel her despair and sorrow.','a6fad31e5d8326c920816ab6af2aa67f',0,'IA==','35zz0p7g',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462160,31816,6,1127,0,'49.177.236.228',1298099175,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Legends of The Metal: Drowning in Despair (Part 2!)','Awesome.

Charts and readouts were scattered across every unoccupied surface. Anne was working with her laptop balanced on her knees, while Jim and Tim had their own computer set up in one corner of the room, analyzing chemical compounds. James emerged from the kitchen, talking on his cell phone.\n\n&quot;Nothing at all? I see...all right...no, no that\'s fine. Thanks for all your help, Jerry. Give my love to Susan and the kids. Bye.&quot; he clicked off and rubbed his eyes. The family had been up most of the night trying to figure out how to cure Kim of Faye.\n\n&quot;Any luck?&quot; Anne asked, as James sat down on the couch next to her.\n\n&quot;Well, Jerry said that they couldn\'t find any sort of antidote without a blood sample at the very least, and even then, it could take years to find out exactly what the composition is of the formula, much less finding a cure.&quot; James answered.\n\n&quot;You didn\'t tell him?&quot; Anne said, raising her eyebrows.\n\n&quot;No, of course not. We kept it hypothetical.&quot; James replied, &quot; How about you? Any luck there?&quot;\n\nAnne sighed and looked at the TV. &quot;Wade?&quot;\n\n&quot;I wish I could say you were wrong, Dr. Possible, but...&quot; Wade sighed himself. &quot;You were right. The Jekyll formula bonds and rewrites the subject\'s DNA, effecting a physical change.&quot;\n\n&quot;Wait,&quot; James said, &quot;A physical change? Singular?&quot;\n\n&quot;Right,&quot; Wade said, &quot;Dr. Jekyll needed a dose of the formula to change into Mr. Hyde, and another dose to change back into Dr. Jekyll again. But DNAmy refined, concentrated, and modified the formula.&quot;\n\n&quot;So now,&quot; Ann continued, &quot;Kim changes into Faye any time she\'s knocked out or goes to sleep. I\'m still not sure how it is that the scheduled changes are happening, or how Faye knows when one of her times is supposed to occur. But even then, that doesn\'t click with what we know about Dr. Jekyll\'s case.&quot;\n\n&quot;How so?&quot; James asked.\n\n&quot;Well, if the novel is anywhere near accurate, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde both had a shared memory. They each knew everything the other one did while they were active. Kim and Faye don\'t.&quot;\n\n&quot;How does that work, exactly?&quot;\n\n&quot;I hate to sound like I\'m enjoying this, but it\'s fascinating. Every time Kim changes, sections of her hippocampus are closed off and other parts open. The process reverses itself when Faye turns back into Kim. It might be a side effect of DNAmy\'s modifications, but without a more detailed analysis, there\'s no way of knowing.&quot;\n\n&quot;But wouldn\'t that mean that Kim\'s brain chemistry is changing as well?&quot; James asked.\n\nAnne nodded. &quot;The problem is that brain chemistry CAN\'T change that fast, and it isn\'t meant to. They only way that could happen is if there was substanial DNA modification.&quot;\n\n&quot;Whcih there is,&quot; Wade continued from the TV. &quot;And that leads us to the main problem. The constant changes are shredding Kim\'s DNA. And her body is trying to force her to stabilize.\n\n&quot;Except her body doesn\'t care WHO she stabilizes as. I\'ve been doing some time comparisions and the time Kim spends as Faye is starting to get longer during the unscheduled changes. If something isn\'t done to stop the changes soon, we figure one of two things will happen. Either she\'ll stabilize on her own, but odds are that she will be Faye when she does. Or...&quot; Wade trailed off. James frowned.\n\n&quot;Or what? What will happen if she doesn\'t stabilize?&quot;\n\nWade swallowed visibly. &quot;If she doesn\'t stabilize, Kim\'s DNA will wear out and she will most likely be dead before she reaches twenty.&quot;\n\n&quot;Twenty?&quot;\n\n&quot;That\'s an optimistic estimate.&quot; Anne said quietly. &quot;For all we know, she could drop dead next week.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well then,&quot; James said after a moment. &quot;Let\'s get back to work. A solution isn\'t going to present itself. Remember, anything is possible for--&quot;\n\n&quot;Please,&quot; Anne interrupted. &quot;Not now, James.&quot;\n\nFortunately, the tension was broken by Ron barrelling through the front door.  &quot;Where\'s Kim?&quot;\n\n&quot;We\'re working on that.&quot; Wade said. &quot;Still trying to trace the Kimmunicator, but I have located the Sloth.&quot;\n\n&quot;Where is it?&quot; Ron asked.\n\nWade frowned. &quot;Parked outside the Tri-City Hospital.&quot; \n\n&quot;Really?&quot; Anne said. &quot;Hand me the phone, would you, dear? Thank you.&quot; Anne dialed a number and waited for someone to pick up. &quot;Manny? It\'s Anne. I\'m fine, thanks. How are you?...that\'s good. Listen, Manny, I need a favor. We haven\'t heard from Kim all night...no no, nothing like that. We found out her car is out there in the parking lot, could you call down to admitting and see if anybody\'s seen her? Thanks, Manny.&quot;\n\nThere was a few moments of silence, then:\n\n&quot;Manny? Yes, I\'m still here. No? Well,  that\'s at least a small relief. Thanks--WHAT?! Is she all right?...Oh, dear Lord. Do me another favor, would you? Let her parents know that I\'m more than willing to help in any way I can. Thank you, Manny. Yes. Yes, I\'ll call them later. Thank you. Bye.&quot;\n\nAnne hung up the phone and looked at the room, her face pale. &quot;Bonnie Rockwaller\'s in the ICU.&quot;\n\nJame\'s frowned. &quot;What happened?&quot;\n\n&quot;She has multiple broken bones, lacerations, brusing. It\'s not pretty. She\'s going to be in physical therapy for a while.&quot; Anne said, trying to  keep her composure. &quot;That\'s not the worst though.&quot;\n\n&quot;What is?&quot;\n\n&quot;Admitting says that she was brought in by a girl with dark red hair and an \'inappropriate attitude.\'&quot;\n\n&quot;Faye?&quot; Ron asked.\n\n&quot;Sounds like it.&quot; Wade responded. &quot;A scheduled change was due yesterday afternoon. Could be Bonnie was in the wrong place at the--what the?&quot;\n\n&quot;What is it?&quot; \n\n&quot;We\'re getting a hit on the site...from Senor Senior, Sr.&quot;\n\nRon and the Possibles exchanged glances. &quot;Put him through, Wade.&quot; Ron said.\n\nWade\'s image disappeared form the big screen TV, replaced by the image of the billionaire supervillain.\n\n&quot;Ah, Ron Stoppable,&quot; he said.  &quot;And you must be the Doctors Possible. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, although I wish it could be under happier circumstances.&quot;\n\n&quot;\'Happier circumstances?\'&quot; Ron asked. &quot;What do you mean?&quot;\n\nSenior\'s expression darkened. &quot;I assume, Mrs. Possible, since you work at the Tri-City Hospital, that you have heard what has happened to Bonnie Rockwaller?&quot;\n\nAnne nodded. &quot;We just found out. It\'s...astonishing.&quot;\n\n&quot;Indeed,&quot; Senior agreed. &quot;However, I am afraid I must impart some rather distressing news. I must report that your daughter has been abducted.&quot;\n\n&quot;ABDUCTED?!&quot; Ron screeched. He stormed  up to the TV. &quot;What have you done with her, you twisted old--&quot;\n\n&quot;If I may finish?&quot; Senior said sternly, shutting Ron up. &quot;I will overlook the outburst since you are, quite naturally, concerned for Kim Possible\'s safety. But, I am not the one who has abducted her.&quot;\n\n&quot;Please, tell us what\'s happened to her, Senor.&quot; Ann asked.\n\n&quot;I encountered Kim Possible early this morning outside the hospital,&quot; Senior began, &quot;We discussed what had happened to Miss Rockwaller. I then left to make a phone call. When I returne dto the entrance of the hospital, I saw Kim Possible, unconscious, being loaded into an unmarked van...by several Global Justice agents under the command of Dr. Director.&quot;\n\n&quot;Dr. Director?&quot; Ron asked.\n\n&quot;Are you sure about this?&quot; James asked.\n\n&quot;Quite sure, Dr. Possible.&quot; Senior answered. &quot;The van drove off after the back doors closed. I noted the direction that it went. I believe you will find it somewhere in Lowerton.&quot;\n\n&quot;Thank you, Senor Senior.&quot; Anne said. &quot;We appreciate your help, given your...relationship with our daughter.&quot;\n\n&quot;I am happy to be of service. I, too, am a parent, after all. I wish you luck, and should you need my assistance again, Junior and I will be staying at the Upperton Arms for the forseeable future. I wish you luck in your endeavors. Goodbye.&quot;\n\n&quot;Goodbye.&quot;\n\nSenior disappeared, returning Wade to the screen. He looked up form his computer.\n\n&quot;I did some checking. There\'s reports of a traffic accident just outside Lowerton. A white van lost control and crashed into a tree on the side of the road.&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh boy,&quot; Ron said. &quot;Anyone want to bet that\'s the van GJ had?&quot;\n\n&quot;Probably.&quot;   James said, &quot;And I\'ll bet they made the mistake of trying to drug Kimmie when they captured her.&quot;\n\n&quot;Which means Faye joined the party.&quot; Ron finsihed. &quot;Dr. P? Can you give me a ride out there? Maybe we can figure out where she went from there, and get some answers.&quot;\n\n&quot;Can do.&quot; James said, producing his keys. &quot;Honey, you coming?&quot;\n\n&quot;No, you two go ahead.&quot; Anne replied. &quot;Wade and I will keep working on trying to find a cure. Plus I want to get ahold of Bonnie\'s parents, make sure they\'re holding up all right.&quot;\n\nJames nodded. &quot;Let\'s go, Ronald.&quot;  \n\n--\n\nGlobal Justice agents do not panic. Like a housecat that suddenly sprouts wings or a good movie directed by Uwe Boll, it does not happen.\n\nNearly every Global Justice field agent is put through a battery of physical and psychological tests that would make most CIA operatives and Navy SEALS flinch. Modeled on the principles set down by legendary Office of Secret Intelligence Training Director Col. Hunter Gathers, the training process is designed to weed out the incompetent, the unsuitable, and even then the tests still make the potential agent better than he was before.  Any agent trained under the Gathers Protocols is ingrained with the ability to cope with mind-blowing weirdness of every conceivable stripe. Global Justice field agents do not panic.\n\nGlobal Justice Field Agent Second Class Lewis Clumsky was panicking.  \n\nHe had woken up a few minutes prior, finding himself strapped down into an hard, uncomfortable chair, clad only in his boxers. The room was ill lit, the only source of light coming form a desk lamp standing on an overturned desk. There was another broken lamp in the room, plugged into the wall and sparking...\n\n...just inches from the large pool of water that Clumsky was sitting in.\n\nClumsky himself had tried to escape his bonds, but whoever had trussed him up had done a good job of it. Four straps encircled each of his limbs, one across his forehead, one across the chin, two on his neck, three across his chest and stomach, even one across each of his hands and feet.\n\nBut what was really causing him to panic was the red headed woman sitting on the overturned desk next to the working lamp. Clumsky knew they were pulling a black bag job on Kim Possible, and he even knew that she was undergoing some severe personality changes. Dr. Director trusted the operatives she had taken on the mission to keep their mouths shut.\n\nBut something had gone wrong. Dr. Director had knocked Possible out and they had loaded her into the back of the van. Clumsky himself was securing her to the gurney int he back when she began to twitch. He had opened one of her eyes to check on her. He was surprised to find the eye had turned purple. There was a sharp crack and Clumsky had sunk into darkness.\n\nOnly to awaken where he was: bound, in an unknown location, a sparking lamp just inches from electrocuting him, and his redheaded captor being backlit by the only light source in such a way that he couldn\'t make out her face. But the aura of menace was unmistakable. The woman wouldn\'t give a second\'s thought to killing him, most likely in the most painful way possible.\n\nRegardless of whether he talked or not.\n\n&quot;I want answers.&quot; the woman said simply. &quot;You are going to give them to me.&quot;\n\n&quot;I--&quot; Clumsky swallowed. &quot;I\'m not obligated to tell you anything beyjnd my name, rank, and serial number.&quot;\n\nThe woman tilted her head. &quot;You are laboring under the impression that the Geneva Convention actually applies here. You are also assuming that even if it DID apply, that I would even give a damn.\n\n&quot;So,&quot; the woman said. &quot;What would Betty be hoping to accomplish with her dirty little trick, hmmm?&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m sorry,&quot; Clumsky answered, &quot;I can\'t tell you anything , Miss Possible. No matter what you threaten to do to me.&quot;\n\nThe woman tilted her head. &quot;Kimmie? You think I\'m Kimmie?&quot; She let out a shrill laugh. &quot;Oh, that\'s rich.&quot;\n\nShe hopped off the desk and moved closer to Clumsky. The change in lighting made her features eaiser to see. \n\nParticularly the glittering purple eyes.\n\n&quot;No, I\'m not Kimmie,&quot; Faye Morgan said, reaching down and picking up the sparking lamp. &quot;And one of the differences between me and her, friend, is...&quot;\n\nShe lowered the lamp closer the the puddle of water at Clumsky\'s feet. Sweayt began beading on the agent\'s forehead above his terrified eyes.\n\n&quot;...I don\'t make threats.&quot; Faye finished, letting the lamp fall from her fingers.\n\n---\n\nJames and Ron stared at the wreckage of the Global Justice van. It looked like the van had been forced across the opposing lane of traffic, hit a rock, overturned and then smashed headlong into a tree. The windows were blown out and one of the back doors was completely torn off. \n\nPolice and EMTs were already on the scene. Ron jumped out of the car as he saw a paremedic team loading Dr. Director into the back of an ambulance. \n\n&quot;Dr. Director!&quot; he called, pushing his way past the uniforms blocking his path. Director put a hand up, stopping the EMTs. Ron dashed to her side.\n\n&quot;Where\'s Kim?&quot; he demanded.\n\n&quot;Not sure.&quot; Director answered faintly, &quot;Ordered to bring her in. Doped her up. Then...we crashed.&quot;\n\n&quot;Faye,&quot; Ron muttered. He looked bay at the GJ leader. &quot;Where did she go?&quot;\n\n&quot;Kicked the door off the back, grabbed Clumsky...I think she stole somebody\'s truck. Ronald...I\'m sorry...&quot; Directors\' voice faded out as the sedative the EMTs had given her took hold. Ron stepped back allowing the EMTs to finish loading her into the ambulance.\n\n&quot;Find out anything?&quot; James asked, coming up to Ron.\n\n&quot;Dr. Director admits they were trying to kidnap her.&quot; Ron said, a frown on his face. &quot;But Faye  took over and caused the wreck.&quot;\n\n&quot;So she\'s out there somewhere...&quot; James replied. &quot;Well, I hate to say it, but I\'d rather have Faye out there, than Kimmie locked up in some cell somewhere else.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah,&quot; Ron said. &quot;But she also said that Faye made off with one of her GJ agents. And given what happened to Bonnie...excuse me for a second, Dr. P.&quot;\n\nRon crossed the accident scene to where a couple of highway patrol officers were talking to the driver of the truck that Faye had stolen. He didn\'t speak directly to the troopers or the driver, but got close enough to hear their conversation.\n\n&quot;...red headed girl came out the back of that van, hauling some guy over her shoulder. Damnedest thing I\'ve ever seen,&quot; the driver was saying, &quot;Guy must\'ve been twice her size. Anyway, she leaped in front of me, then when I stopped, she threw him in the back, dragged me out the window and started heading off that direction with it.&quot;\n\nRon looked down the road, frowning. The road led into a dismal industrial section of Lowerton. Nothing much but warehouses and derelict buildings.\n\n[i:3a0phis0]Just the kind of place she would try to torture somebody.[/i:3a0phis0] Ron thought. He headed back towards James. \n\n&quot;Hey, Dr. P, can you drop me off at the--&quot; he was interrupted by his cell phone going off. &quot;One sec. Hello?&quot;\n\n&quot;Ron!&quot; came Wade\'s voice over the speaker. &quot;I finally tracked down the Kimmunicator\'s signal. She\'s--&quot;\n\n&quot;In the warehouse district in Lowerton?&quot; Ron finished.\n\n&quot;Yeah,&quot; Wade said, the pout evident in his voice. &quot;How did you know?&quot;\n\n&quot;Just a little good ol\' fashioned detective work, Wade, my man.&quot;\n\n&quot;All right, master sleuth, before you go running off, Kim\'s mom needs you and Dr. Possible back here. We think we may have found a solution.&quot;\n\n&quot;A cure?&quot; Ron said. &quot;You guys think you\'ve found a cure?&quot;\n\n&quot;No. Not a cure. A solution. We\'re still ironing out the bugs, but for it to work, we need to find Kim or Faye.&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'ll get Dr. P to drop me off to grab the Sloth and we\'ll be right over. Catch you in a few.&quot; Ron clicke doff the phone and turned to James.\n\n&quot;They have a solution?&quot; James asked. Ron nodded.\n\n&quot;But there\'s some planning involved. Can you drop me off so I can get Kim\'s car? Wade\'s got a lock on her and as soon as we have the plan worked out, I can go get her...them...whatever.&quot;\n\n&quot;No problemo.&quot; \n\n--\n\nClumsky\'s eyes opened as he realized he wasn\'t being elctrocuted. His vision focused and he relaxed slightly as he saw Kim Possible kneeling in front of him, the lamp hanging from her fingers inches above the puddle of water.\n\n&quot;You\'re welcome.&quot; Kim said, her expression neutral. The tone of her voice made Clumsky think relaxing wasn\'t exactly a good plan. \n\n&quot;Um,&quot; he began. Kim held up her other hand.\n\n&quot;Don\'t get too comfortable. I want answers. I\'m assuming that SHE brought you here to get them.&quot; \n\n&quot;Like I said, I\'m not authorized to--&quot; Clumsky\'s breath was knocked out of him as Kim kicked the back legs of the chair, causing the GJ agent to slam flat on his back. Kim stood over him, leaning forward on one knee.\n\n&quot;Wrong answer.&quot; she said quietly, her expression still neutral. &quot;I\'ll put it in single syllables. What. Does. G. J. Want. With. Me?&quot;\n\nClumsky wasn\'t sure which set of eyes were worse; the purple manic ones which looked at him as if wondering how long it would take to peel off his skin, or these cold dead green ones where he was nothing more than a source of information.\n\nHis mouth started moving with no input from his brain.\n\n&quot;It isn\'t you they want. It\'s her.&quot;\n\n&quot;G.J. wants Faye? For what?&quot; Kim asked, frowning.\n\n&quot;Not G.J. ICAD.&quot; Clumsky\'s eyes widened and he slammed his mouth shut.\n\n&quot;ICAD? Who\'s ICAD?&quot; \n\nClumsky shook his head, refusing to open his mouth. Kim\'s lip curled up in a snarl and he hauled the trussed up agent upright. \n\n&quot;Let me make this clear. Right now, the only thing between you and her is me. All I have to do is let down my guard and SHE comes out to play. And given everything that\'s happened recently, I\'m not so sure I feel like enforcing the rules with her. So, who is ICAD?&quot;\n\nClumsky swallowed again and his voice came out as a croak. &quot;I\'d tell you if I could, but beleive me, Miss Possible. Nothing that the other one could do to me compares to what THEY\'LL do to me if I tell you anything else.&quot;\n\nKim frowned and she looked as if she was ready to poind the agent senseless when to her surprise, the phone on the wall rang. She looked over at it in surprise. She let go of Clumsky and answered the phone. \n\n&quot;Hello?&quot; \n\n&quot;Kim? It\'s Wade!&quot;\n\n&quot;Wade, thank God.&quot; Kim said, relief flooding her voice. &quot;Look, something seriously whacked is happening here. I\'ve got GJ trying to kidnap me, and there\'s something more. I need you to dig up anything you can on an organization called ICAD.  They\'re connected to GJ somehow. Also, get ahold of Ron and my parents and tell them where I am--&quot;\n\n&quot;Kim, hang on a second. There\'s something you need to know...&quot;\n\n&quot;Tell me in a minute, Wade, just get ahold of--&quot;\n\n&quot;Faye\'s awake, Kim!&quot;\n\nKim\'s eyes widened as she comprehended what Wade was telling her. &quot;What?&quot;\n\n&quot;Faye\'s awake, Kim. In your head. She\'s awake and watching.&quot;\n\n&quot;Wade, that\'s impossible. When I\'m awake, she\'s asleep. We KNOW that\'s how this works.&quot; Kim replied. Across the room, Clumsky stared at Kim, puzzlement and terror warring for control of his expression.\n\n&quot;Not this time, Kim.&quot; Wade answered. &quot;Faye\'s awake, Kim, I\'m positive.&quot;\n\n&quot;How?&quot;\n\n&quot;Look at the phone cord.&quot;\n\nKim frowned and looked down at the phone cord...\n\n...which was cut completely off and was dangling from the reciever. Kim\'s eyes widened again as Wade\'s voice kept issuing from the phone.\n\n&quot;How can I be talking to you if the phone isn\'t connected, Kim? And while we\'re at it, why would I use a phone when the Kimmunicator is strapped to your wrist and working just fine?&quot;\n\n&quot;You wouldn\'t...&quot; Kim whispered.\n\n&quot;I\'m sorry. What was that?&quot;\n\n&quot;I said you wouldn\'t!&quot; Kim yelled into the phone, startling Clumsky. Kim hurled the phone across the room, where is bounced off the wall and hit the floor. Kim collaped onto the floor, holding her head in her hands.\n\n [i:3a0phis0]Damn straight he wouldn\'t.\n[/i:3a0phis0]\nKim\'s head snapped up as Faye\'s voice floated through her head. &quot;Faye?&quot;\n\n[i:3a0phis0]Well, gee, Kimmie, who ELSE has a time share in your brain? By the way, I suggest putting GJ-boy over there out like a light, that is unless you want a report getting back to whoever\'s pulling the strings that you\'ve lost your damn mind.\n[/i:3a0phis0]\nKim looked over at Clumsky, who tried to look nonchalant up until the point that Kim hit a pressure point on his shoulder and knocked him out. She stood back up.\n\n&quot;How are you still awake?&quot;\n\n[i:3a0phis0]Dunno. Probably has something to do with the crap Betty knocked you out with. I can still feel it in our blood. Has a nice zingy sensation.\n[/i:3a0phis0]\n&quot;You can feel what\'s in our blood?&quot;\n\n[i:3a0phis0]What, you mean you can\'t? Next you\'ll be telling me you can\'t smell the fear in Ron\'s sweat when he\'s left alone with you. \n[/i:3a0phis0]\n&quot;You mean when he\'s with you.&quot;\n\n[i:3a0phis0]If that\'s what you want to tell yourself, then sure.\n[/i:3a0phis0]\nKim ingored the jibe and activated the Kimmunicator. Wade appeared on the screen, wide eyed. &quot;Kim! Are you all right?&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m fine, Wade. Listen, GJ is--&quot;\n\n&quot;Sending agents after you. We know. I\'m pretty sure they want Faye.&quot;\n\n&quot;What for?&quot;\n\n[i:3a0phis0]Gee, I\'m a superpowered sociopath that has no aversions to causing pain, suffering, agony and chaos. What do you THINK they want me for?\n[/i:3a0phis0]\n&quot;Shut UP!&quot; Kim snarled. Wade blinked.\n\n&quot;What?&quot; he asked, confused.\n\nKim sighed. &quot;Not you, Wade. I don\'t know what happened, might have something to do with the drugs Dr. Director hit me with, but Faye\'s awake.&quot;\n\n&quot;Awake?&quot; Wade said. &quot;Right now?&quot;\n\n&quot;Right now and making sarcastic comments in my head. Let Ron know will you?&quot;\n\nWade nodded. &quot;He\'s on his way to your location now. There\'s a GJ agent missing from the crash that Faye caused.&quot;\n\n&quot;He\'s here.&quot; Kim said. &quot;Faye tried to get him to talk, but I managed to stop her form doing anything stupid.&quot;\n\n[i:3a0phis0]He would have talked. Trust me.\n[/i:3a0phis0]\n&quot;Get anything from him?&quot; Wade asked.\n\n&quot;Look up something called ICAD. Looks like it\'s some kind of organization that can boss GJ around. It\'s probably an acronym, but I\'m not sure.&quot;\n\n[i:3a0phis0]Give me six minutes and a red hot potato peeler with GJ-boy over there and I\'ll get you all the information you want...\n[/i:3a0phis0]\n&quot;I told YOU to SHUT UP!&quot; Kim yelled, her voice echoing around the warehouse.\n\n&quot;Kim, are you sure you\'re okay?&quot; Wade asked, after an awkward silence.\n\n&quot;I\'m fine.&quot; Kim said. &quot;Let Ron and my parents know what\'s going on, all right? I\'ll be waiting here.&quot;\n\n&quot;Ron\'s on his way. I\'ll give him the update.&quot;\n\n&quot;Thanks, Wade.&quot; Kim clicked off the Kimmunicator and sat down heavily on the floor.\n\n[i:3a0phis0]You\'re up to something. \n[/i:3a0phis0]\n&quot;So are you.&quot; Kim answered, not raising her head. &quot;Now, shut up.&quot;\n\n--\n\n&quot;Faye\'s AWAKE?!&quot; Ron yelped. He pulled the Sloth over to the side of the road so he could give his full attention to the conversation between himself, Wade, and Kim\'s parents.\n\n&quot;She thinks it has something to do with the drugs Global Justice used to capture her.&quot; Wade said. &quot;I\'m pretty sure Faye will go back to sleep when the drugs wear off.&quot;\n\n&quot;What about our plan?&quot; Anne said, on the other half of the split screen.\n\n&quot;Looks like it\'s on hold for now.&quot; Wade answered. &quot;At least until Faye goes back to sleep. As long as they\'re both awake, Faye can use Kim for information. What Kim knows, they both know.&quot;\n\nAnne nodded grimly. &quot;Ron, keep that syringe on you. Once it seems clear that Faye isn\'t awake anymore, tell Kim what\'s happening. But if you have to, ambush one of them.&quot;\n\n&quot;Not really crazy about that idea, Dr. P.&quot; Ron said. \n\n&quot;Use it as a last resort then.&quot; James said sternly. &quot;The clock is ticking, Ronald, don\'t forget that.&quot;\n\nRon sighed. &quot;Right. Sorry, Dr. P.&quot;\n\n&quot;She\'s in a warehouse about three miles form your current position, Ron,&quot; Wade said. &quot;She\'s waiting for you--what the?&quot;\n\n&quot;What\'s up, Wade?&quot; Ron asked.\n\n&quot;Drakken.&quot; Wade answered. &quot;He\'s in Paris with an army of...robotic chiropractors?&quot;\n\n&quot;Chiropractors?&quot; Anne and James echoed.\n\nRon groaned. &quot;Any chance we can let him wait for a while, Wade?&quot;\n\n&quot;Not really. They\'re already running rampant. The French government is calling Kim on this one. What do we do?&quot; \n\nRon frowned. &quot;We go with the plan as before. We\'ll have to take the mission, otherwise Faye\'s going to get suspicious and that\'s really going to mess things up.&quot;\n\n&quot;And what happens if Faye takes over during the mission?&quot; Wade asked. \n\n&quot;We\'ll burn that bridge when we come to it.&quot; Ron answered. &quot;Any objections?&quot;\n\nKim\'s parents looked at each other, then back at the screen. &quot;Do what you have to, Ron.&quot; Anne said. Wade simply nodded.\n\n&quot;I\'ll let them know you\'re coming.&quot; he said, &quot;Kim\'s spare mission clothes are in the trunk.&quot; \n\n&quot;Thanks, Wade.&quot; Ron said. He put the car in &quot;Drive&quot; and headed for the warehouse.\n\n--\n\nDr. Director sank gratefully into her office chair. Getting out of the Tri-City Hospital was a pain in the ass, but better than asking a lot of inconvenient questions when Kimberly\'s mother showed up. \n\nThe abduction had been a mistake. She should have approached Kim directly, and told her exactly what was going on. They might have been able to buy some time or work out a way to deal with ICAD. \n\nBut, she had blown it. Let fear get the best of her and now she had sixteen stiches in her scalp, and her left arm in a cast.  And Kim Possible would likely never trust her again.\n\nDirector winced as a bolt of pain shot through her arm, and she pulled out a prescription bottle, shook out a few pills and swallowed them. She reached into the bottom drawer of her desk, producing a bottle of scotch, and took a swig to wash the pills down. She leaned back in her chair and sighed heavily.\n\nAt that moment, the phone rang. Director groaned and hit the speakerphone button. &quot;Director.&quot;\n\n&quot;What went wrong, Betty?&quot; came the voice of ICAD One. \n\n&quot;I listened to you, that\'s what went wrong.&quot; Director answered. \n\n&quot;Cute.&quot; One responded. &quot;I thougth you could handle a simple black bag, Betty. I\'m severely disappointed.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, that puts you down here with the rest of us.&quot; \n\n&quot;You\'re insolence is only making what I have to do easier.&quot;\n\nDr. Director frowned and sat up. &quot;What do you mean?&quot;\n\n&quot;You failed, Betty. And I still want Possible. Since you seem incapable to bring her to me, I\'m going to have to take matters into my own hands.&quot;\n\n&quot;Over my dead body.&quot; \n\n&quot;...You might want to consider choosing your words more carefully.&quot;\n\nThere was a knock on the office door. Dr. Director looked up.\n\n&quot;What?&quot; she demanded. The door opened admitting three GJ guards and agent Will Du. \n\n&quot;What is it, Agent Du?&quot; Dr. Director asked. Du\'s face was expressionless.\n\n&quot;Dr. Director, under orders from ICAD One, I am relieving you of command of Global Justice, effective immediately. I am also afraid that we will have to take you into protective custody.&quot;\n\n&quot;You what?&quot; Director said, getting to her feet. &quot;Protection from who?&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, Kim Possible, for one.&quot; ICAD One answered. &quot;I doubt she\'ll be happy when she wakes up.&quot;\n\n&quot;If you think Kimberly is going to be stupid enough to come after me for revenge, letting you get your claws on her--&quot;\n\n&quot;Frankly, Doctor, I\'m no longer interested in your opinion. Gentlemen, take Dr. Director to the isolation cells. Agent Du, I\'m appointing you interim head of Global Justice.&quot;\n\n&quot;Thank you, sir.&quot; Du said as the other agents, not unkindly, took Dr. Director into custody. \n\nAs she passed Du, Director looked up. &quot;You have no idea what you\'re in for.&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m sorry, Dr. Director,&quot; Du replied. &quot;But it\'s out of my hands.&quot;\n\n&quot;I hope it\'s worth it. Because if I ever get back,&quot; Director fixed Du with a steely glare. &quot;You are finished, Agent Du.&quot; She didn\'t wait for a response but looked at the guards. &quot;Get me out of here.&quot;\n\nThe room was silent as Dr. Director was escorted out. When the door closed, ICAD One spoke again.\n\n&quot;All right, now that that\'s taken care of. Agent Du?&quot;\n\n&quot;Sir?&quot;\n\n&quot;If revenge won\'t motivate Possible to come to us, we\'ll have to raise the stakes. Extend an invitation for the Possible family to visit us.&quot;\n\n&quot;An invitation, sir?&quot; Du said.\n\n&quot;Don\'t insult your intelligence, Du.&quot; ICAD One said coldly. &quot;Black bag the Possibles. And while we\'re at it, black bag the Stoppables, and Wade Load. I want them here. NOW.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes, sir.&quot; Du said, emotionlessly. There was a click as ICAD One hung up. As soon as he heard the click, Du sighed. He didn\'t like it, but orders were orders. And he had no intention of ending up in the isolation cells with Dr. Director. He picked up the phone and dialed a number.\n\n&quot;Prepare a strike team. We have three black bags to run.&quot;\n\n--Erin M.','ddb84ae2f99f93ba63a14cc771d2c28a',0,'IA==','3a0phis0',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462171,31989,5,39,0,'78.144.59.66',1298108735,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Gah!

Ron approached her cautiously, not certain who he was going to meet when he got there. \n\nAs he got closer, he relaxed a little. The figure sitting on the railing was slouched over, resting her arms on her knees. She looked tired and weary. Faye never looked tired, no matter how long she had been awake. Ron\'s stride became more confident, but as he got closer, the figure stirred and turned sharply.  Ron yelped and slid back into a combat stance, just in case he\'d been suckered.\n\nThere was a sigh of relief. \n\n&quot;Hey, Ron.&quot; Kim said. Ron let out the breath he\'d been holding and climbed up onto the railing next to Kim.\n\n&quot;Hey, KP. How you holding up?&quot;\n\nKim gave him a rueful smile. &quot;I\'m tired. Extremely tired. Honestly, if I felt like I could get away with it, I\'d go home and sleep for a week.&quot;\n\n&quot;I bet.&quot; Ron replied. He felt the sedative-filled syringe in his pocket that Kim\'s mom had given to him. He really didn\'t want to use it, but he had no way of finding out if Faye was still awake or not. \n\n&quot;Are Drakken and Shego taken care of?&quot; Kim asked suddenly. Ron blinked.\n\n&quot;You don\'t know?&quot; he asked.\n\nKim frowned as she realized that she had no memory of anythig that happened after Shego hauled her out of the dumpster in the alley. &quot;No. No, I don\'t. Hang on a second.&quot;\n\nKim closed her eyes and mentally probed around her mind. Nothing. If she concentrated she could still feel Faye\'s presence, but it was dormant and quiet. No snide comments, no running commentary. She opened her eyes.\n\n&quot;She\'s asleep. Finally.&quot; Kim signed again and collapsed against Ron, who automatically put his arm around her shoulders. She looked up at him. &quot;So, Drakken and Shego?&quot;\n\nRon rubbed the back of his neck with his free hand. &quot;Um, yeah. Well, I kinda somehow reprogrammed all of Drakken\'s chiropractor bots and last I saw he was piloting that hovercar of his away from them as fast as he could.&quot;\n\nKim smirked as she pictured the mad scientist trying to escape from a horde of crazed robots with eyes on forcibly realigning his spine. &quot;And Shego?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah...Shego...&quot; Ron swallowed and told Kim what Faye had done to the villainess. He outlined every detail, knowing Kim wouldn\'t want him to sugar coat it.  When he was done, Kim pulled away from him and looked down into the dark flowing water of the river.\n\n&quot;First Bonnie...now Shego,&quot; she whispered. She looked up at Ron. &quot;And then who? Monique? Wade? The Tweebs? You?&quot;\n\n&quot;She\'s been following the rules,&quot; Ron began.\n\n&quot;But she\'s getting stronger! And she knows it. Why do you think she ditched the Kimmunicator when we switched? She\'s testing her limits. Seeing what I\'ll do.&quot;\n\nKim stood up on the railing, looking down into the rushing waters of the river. &quot;I can\'t let her loose, Ron. She\'s getting more and more dangerous, and if I lose, there\'s nothing that can stop her.&quot;\n\nRon stood up and took Kim\'s arm. &quot;Actually...there may be.&quot;\n\nKim looked at him. &quot;What?&quot; \n\n&quot;Your mom and Wade think they\'ve figured out a solution. They wanted me to get you as soon as we were sure Faye was asleep.&quot;\n\n&quot;You...you\'re serious?&quot; Kim asked. &quot;They really think they\'ve found a way?&quot;\n\nRon smiled. &quot;They sounded pretty sure to me, KP.&quot;\n\nHis smiled broaded as the despair left Kim\'s face, replaced by hope and her usual optimism. &quot;Okay, then. Let\'s get Wade and get a ride home!&quot;\n\nRon handed her the Kimmunicator, Kim strapped it on and hit the button to contact Wade.\n\nAll they got was static.\n\n&quot;Wade?&quot; Kim asked, her frown returning. &quot;Wade, are you there?&quot;\n\n&quot;Is there a signal here?&quot; Ron asked.\n\n&quot;Ron, we got a signal from Wade six miles below the surface of the Earth, we should be getting one in the heart of Paris.&quot; Kim pressed a few more buttons, but the static didn\'t leave the screen. &quot;Try your phone.&quot;\n\nRon pulled out his cell and dialed Wade\'s house. &quot;It\'s ringing, but nobody\'s picking up.&quot;\n\n&quot;Try your folks. Maybe they\'ve heard something. I\'ll try to get ahold of mine.&quot;\n\nKim pressed a few more buttons, trying to get the Possible home, but all she got was more static. Meanwhile, Ron called home.\n\n&quot;Hello?&quot; came the voice of Ron\'s mother. \n\n&quot;Mom?&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh, hey, sweetie. Everything going all right?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah,&quot; Ron said. &quot;We took care of it.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, that\'s good.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah. Listen, Mom, have you heard from Wade or Kim\'s parents? We\'re having a problem getting through on the Kimmunicator.&quot;\n\n&quot;No,&quot; Mrs. Stoppable said. &quot;Nothing over here. One second, I\'ll get your father to give the Possibles a call. Dear? Oh, one sec, Ronnie, he\'s answering the door...&quot;\n\nSuddenly, there was a sound of smashing wood and  breaking objects. Ron\'s eyes widened and he motioned for Kim to come over. He activated the speaker phone and the two of them listened as Ron\'s mother screamed, her father yelled, and Hana began crying. \n\n&quot;Ronnie!&quot; came the voice of Mrs. Stoppable. &quot;Strange men are here! They\'ve knocked out your father! I\'ve got to get Hana!&quot;\n\n&quot;Keep calm, Mrs. Stoppable!&quot; Kim said. &quot;Get Hana and get out. Try to get to my parents, they\'ll call the police. Keep on the phone as long as you can.&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'ve got her now. They\'re in the living room. Oh, God, what do I do?&quot;\n\n&quot;Where are you now?&quot; Kim asked. \n\n&quot;I went up the back stairs. I\'m in Hana\'s room right now.&quot;\n\n&quot;Mom, get up to my room and go out the window. The fire ladder\'s rolled up  next to it. You can use that to get out.&quot; Ron said. \n\nThere was no response except for muffled whimpering coming from Hana, follow closely by a series of thumps, presumably Mrs. Stoppable making her way to Ron\'s attic room. Han\'s wails started up again, and they heard the window being opened.\n\n&quot;Mom?&quot; Ron asked. &quot;You okay?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes,&quot; Mrs. Stoppable\'s voice was distant. She had probably put the phone down to have both hands free.  &quot;I\'ve got the window open, I\'m pushing out the ladd--&quot;\n\nThere was a violent crash and a loud voice started yelling. &quot;ON THE FLOOR! HANDS ON YOUR HEAD!&quot;\n\n&quot;DON\'T TOUCH MY DAUGHTER!&quot;\n\n&quot;I SAID ON THE FLOOR!&quot;\n\n&quot;RON! KIM! HELP US! THEY\'RE FROM GLOBAL JUS--!&quot;\n\nThe phone clicked and went dead. Ron and Kim looked at each other, incredulous at first and then anger began crossing their faces.\n\n&quot;GJ has gone too far.&quot; Ron said quietly. \n\n&quot;Totally.&quot; Kim replied. &quot;We need to get a ride, fast.&quot;\n\nThey made their way back to the main road, looking for a cab.\n\n&quot;Do you have any cash on you?&quot; Kim asked. \n\n&quot;Yeah, I\'ve got about 50 Euros. Wade thought it would be a good idea in case tracking you or Faye down took longer than expected.&quot;\n\n&quot;Should be enough to get us to the airport then.&quot; Kim said. She stuck out a hand &quot;Taxi!&quot;\n\nNo sooner had a cab pulled up than a large van roared from a nearby alley. Ron saw it coming.\n\n&quot;Kim, VAN!&quot;\n\nThe two of them dove in opposite directions. The van clipped the taxi, causing the driver of the cab to roar off. The back doors of the van burst open, disgorging a squad of GJ agents. Ron and Kim got to their feet as the agents pulled large caliber weaponry and pointed it at the two teen heroes.\n\n&quot;On your knees!&quot; barked the squad leader. &quot;You are under arrest! Put your hands on your heads and make no sudden moves!&quot;\n\nKim\'s lip curled up in a sneer. &quot;Well, time to see if this is as fun as Faye and Shego seem to think it is. Ron?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah, KP?&quot;\n\n&quot;Manuever 33!&quot;\n\nKim leaped into the air, somersaulted and planted both feet into the chest of the squad leader. At the same time, Ron handsprung into three other members of the squad catching two with his feet and another with a fist. The remaing member sof the squad began opening fire. Kim and Ron dodged out of the way, rolling under the van.\n\n&quot;Hold your fire, you idiots!&quot; the squad leader ordered. &quot;ICAD One wants them alive!&quot;\n\n&quot;ICAD One?&quot; Ron asked. &quot;Who\'s that?&quot;\n\n&quot;No idea, but ICAD is who\'s after Faye.&quot; Kim answered. She rolled on her back and pressed a button on the Kimmunicator. A laser beam shot out and Kim began moving it around, severing lines, wires, and pipes. She clicked the beam off. &quot;Ready?&quot;\n\nRon nodded and the two of them rolled back out from under the van, got to their feet and started running. The GJ agents took a few warning shots, then piled back into the van. The van started up and began following them, ramping up in speed until the driver suddenly lost control, the brakes went out and they plowed into a nearby building.\n\n&quot;KP,&quot; Ron began as they dashed into an apartment builduing. &quot;Are they okay?&quot;\n\n&quot;You know something, Ron?&quot; Kim said as they ascended the stairs. &quot;Given that they shot at us, and they\'ve kidnapped your family, I\'m not really sure if I care.&quot;\n\n--\n\n&quot;Anything, Wade?&quot; James said, pacing the living room. &quot;Anything at all?&quot;\n\n&quot;Sorry, Dr. Possible. Last thing I have is Ron saying Faye was running around loose and ditching the Kimmunicator.&quot; Wade answered form the TV screen.\n\n&quot;James, calm down.&quot; Anne said, coming up behind her husband. &quot;Ron knows what to do, and if Kim is in control, the first thing she\'ll do is get ahold of us.&quot;\n\n&quot;I know, but still, it\'s been two hours. We should have heard something.&quot;\n\nThe sound of a doorbell came from the TV. Wade looked over his shoulder. \n\n&quot;I\'ll be right back,&quot; he said. &quot;Mom\'s out tonight, so I ordered a pizza.&quot; The preteen genius left the screen.\n\n&quot;Pizza.&quot; Anne said, smiling slightly. &quot;You know, that doens\'t sound half bad. If we\'re going to spend the night worrying about Kim, we might as well be fed.&quot;\n\n&quot;Good idea, hon.&quot; James said, picking up the phone. &quot;Boys? what do you want on the pizza.&quot;\n\n&quot;Pepperoni!&quot; said Jim.\n\n&quot;Anchovies!&quot; said Tim.\n\n&quot;Well, good to know they don\'t think alike on everything.&quot; James muttered to himself. &quot;Hello? Yes, I\'d like to place an--&quot;\n\nAt that moment, the front window exploded as a squad of Global Justice agents burst through it. James threw his arms over his head while Anne grabbed the twins and forced them to the floor. The GJ agents dashed trhoguh the house, yelling &quot;Clear!&quot; to each other. After a few seconds, the agents who had left the room returned, and joined their fellows who were training their weapons on the Possibles.\n\nJames was the first to recover. &quot;Who the hell are you people, and what in the name of God are you doing in my house?&quot;\n\n&quot;Keep your hands on your heads!&quot; barked one of the GJ agents, a burly man with  three day stubble and a clear belief that the word &quot;bad-ass&quot; was tattooed across his face.\n\n&quot;I will do no such thing.&quot; James replied, folding his arms. &quot;You people expect us to cooperate after you\'ve just broke into our home--&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m warning you, SIR,&quot; the agent began, gestruing with his rifle. &quot;I\'m only going to count to three...ONE!&quot;\n\n&quot;That\'s quite enough, Kemmerer,&quot; came a new voice. The Possibles turned their attantion to Will Du as he came into the room. &quot;Stand down.&quot;\n\nThe GJ agents relaxed but still remained alert for trouble. Anne and the twins got to their feet. Anne frowned as she recognized the squad leader.\n\n&quot;Agent Du. I take it you\'re in charge here?&quot; she demanded. Du nodded.\n\n&quot;I wish it could be undere better circumstances, Dr. Possible. I\'m afraid you\'re all under arrest.&quot;\n\n&quot;Arrest?&quot; James asked. &quot;What for?&quot;\n\n&quot;Harboring a dangerous fugitive, for starters. One Faye Morgan.&quot;\n\n&quot;Faye Morgan?&quot; Anne said. &quot;We don\'t know anyone--&quot;\n\nDu held up a hand. &quot;Spare me the obligatory denials, Dr. Possible. We know about Morgan, and where she came from.&quot;\n\n&quot;Then why aren\'t you helping us?&quot; James demanded. &quot;All the times you\'ve asked Kim for help, you should be firs tin line now.&quot;\n\n&quot;That isn\'t my concern.&quot; Du replied. &quot;My orders are to bring her...and all of you...in.&quot;\n\nAnne folded her arms. &quot;Why don\'t you spare us the obligatory pretending that we\'re going to be anything but bait?&quot;\n\n&quot;Fine.&quot; Du replied. &quot;Will you come with us, please?&quot;\n\n&quot;No,&quot; the Possibles replied in unison.\n\n&quot;As I thought. Kemmerer?&quot;\n\nThe burly agent stomped across the room with surprising speed and grabbed Jim and Tim by their necks. Anne yelped and tried to get theboys but was held back by another female GJ agent.\n\n&quot;LET GO OF MY FAMILY!&quot; Jame roared, turning on Du.\n\n&quot;Dr, Possible, as the cliche has it, there\'s an easy way to do this and a hard way. Personally, I\'d much rather do it the easy way. I promise you that neither you nor your family will be harmed if you decide to come with us willingly.&quot;\n\n&quot;What about Kim?&quot; James asked.\n\n&quot;yes...unfortunatley, she\'s a bit of a wild card. Rest assured though that as long as I am in command of this operation, I will make sure that minimum necessary force is used. Will that be satisfactory?&quot;\n\n&quot;You people out of our house would be satisfactory.&quot; James said. \n\n&quot;OWWWW!&quot; the twins cried out as Kemmerer tightened his grip.\n\n&quot;KEMMERER!&quot; Du barked. Kemmerer snarled but relaxed.\n\n&quot;And that goon stays the hell away from my children.&quot; Anne said, finally breaking free of the GJ agent holding her. \n\nDu nodded and Kemmerer stepped back away from the boys. The two of them glared up at him.\n\n&quot;Did you know the melting point of Kevlar is between 427 to 452 degrees Celsius?&quot; Jim asked.\n\n&quot;That\'s about 800 to 900 degrees Farenheit.&quot; Tim stated.\n\n&quot;We once made an instant marshmallow toaster that can reach temperatures that high in less than three seconds.&quot; Jim continued.\n\n&quot;GJ still using Kevlar plating for their pants?&quot; Tim finished.\n\n&quot;Boys, that\'s enough.&quot; Anne said, taking them from Kemmerer. She leaned over and whispered, &quot;Besides, Kevlar takes too long to melt. I\'ll get some ipecac later.&quot;\n\nDu sighed and turned back to James. &quot; Anything else, or do we go to the hard way?&quot;\n\nJames nodded. &quot;We\'ll go, but I really hope you people know what you\'re getting into.&quot;\n\n--\n\nKim and Ron burst onto the roof of the building. Ron slammed the door shut. \n\n&quot;There\'s nothing to barricade this with!&quot; he yelled over to Kim. \n\n&quot;Working on it!&quot; Kim called. She was standing next to an old TV antenna. One quick roundhouse kick and she dashed back to the roof access with the antenna. The two of them wedged the antenna under the knob and forced the opposite end against the roof. \n\n&quot;Now what?&quot; Ron asked. Kim shook her head. \n\n&quot;No idea. They\'ve probably found the car, and they\'re going to be watching the airports.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, we can\'t just keep running! They\'ve got our families, Kim!&quot;\n\n&quot;I know that, Ron! Can\'t you please just give me five seconds to think?!&quot;\n\n&quot;We don\'t have five seconds! There\'s a horde of big guys with guns coming up the stairs behind us! Guys with guns who have BRAINS!&quot;\n\n&quot;Will you please stop panicking?&quot; Kim snapped.\n\n&quot;I\'ll stop panicking when you come up with a way for us to get out of this!&quot; \n\n&quot;I DON\'T KNOW!&quot; Kim yelled at the top of her voice. &quot;I HAVE NO GOD DAMN IDEA WHAT TO DO, RON! OKAY? AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, WE\'RE SCREWED! HAPPY NOW?!&quot;\n\n&quot;DON\'T YELL AT ME!&quot;\n\n&quot;DON\'T YOU YELL AT ME!&quot;\n\n&quot;How about you both stop yelling, and surrender?&quot; came a stern voice. Kim and Ron turned their heads to find a platoon of Global Justice agents lining the nearby rooftops. The roof access door had been forced open while they\'d been arguing and another twenty agents had made their way in. The squad commander, a tough woman in her 30s, looked at them amusedly.\n\n&quot;Surrender?&quot; Kim asked quietly.\n\n&quot;It would reall ybe the best way, Miss Possible. We only want to help you with your condition.&quot; \n\n&quot;Is that what ICAD One told you to say?&quot; Kim asked. The squad leader\'s expression changed to a frown.\n\n&quot;Where did you  hear that?&quot;\n\nKim smirked. &quot;One of your goons downstairs let it slip. So what\'s ICAD One want with Faye? Some half-baked super soldier idea or something?&quot;\n\n&quot;Probably is,&quot; Ron said with smirk of his own. &quot;Dude probably wants to take over the world himself or something like that.&quot;\n\n&quot;I find it interesting that he\'s not out here himself,&quot; Kim responded. &quot;Let me guess, he never goes anywhere in public.&quot;\n\n&quot;Keeps to his office at work.&quot; Ron said.\n\n&quot;Probably communicates exclusively by phone or radio.&quot; Kim continued.\n\n&quot;Or one of those cheesy backlit silohuette things on any video communication.&quot; Ron added.\n\n&quot;Oh yeah, the whole thing screams \'I\'m a supervillain wannabe.\'&quot; Kim saisd. She looked at the squad leader, who was not looking amused by the teen heroes banter. &quot;So, I guess that would make you the cheif henchman...or does Dr. Director have that slot filled?&quot;\n\nThe squad leader breathed in heavily through her nostrils. &quot;I\'m giving you one more chance, Possible. Give up quietly or we\'re going to have to take you in by force.&quot;\n\nKim folded her arms and llet out a short laugh. &quot;Look, you MUST have seen the files. Especially the ones after the Lorwardian invasion. Do you really think Ron and I are going to be intimidated by an army of big guys with guns pointed at us?&quot;\n\n&quot;No, not at all.&quot; the squad leader said. &quot;Henderson! Monitor!&quot; A GJ agent came over, pulling a small portable video monitor out of his pack. He turned it on and handed it to the squad leader. She gfiddled with a couple of the switches on top of the unit and turned it towards Kim and Ron.\n\nKim and Ron\'s eyes widened as they saw their families and Wade sitting in what looked like a large conference room. They looked anxious and worried. Wade and the Tweebs appeared to be trying to override the security lock on the door, but didn\'t seem to be having much success. Ron\'s mother was holding Hana in her arms, rocking her softly, looking somewhat shellshocked.\n\n&quot;Mom, Dad! Are you okay?&quot; Ron yelped running towards th emonitor. Henderson intercepted him and shoved him roughly back, causing Ron\'s momentum to wokr against him and caus ehim to fall onto the roof. Kim helpe dhim to his feet.\n\n&quot;Save your breath.&quot; The squad leader said. &quot;It\'s one-way video only.&quot;\n\n&quot;So it\'s the \'we have your family, do what we say\' bit, huh?&quot; Kim asked.\n\n&quot;Sort of,&quot; the squad leader admitted. &quot;Look above the door.&quot;\n\nKim looked above the door, where a vent could clearly be seen. &quot;So what? We don\'t give up, you\'ll put poison gas in the room?&quot;\n\n&quot;Give us a little more credit than that. We knew that wouldn\'t be enough to get you to give up.&quot;\n\n&quot;So what will you pump in there then?&quot; Kim asked. &quot;Nanites? SARS? Bubonic plague?&quot;\n\n&quot;I think you\'d better talk to Commander Du about that.&quot; The squad leader made a few more adjustments, and Will Du\'s face appeared. &quot;We have Possible and Stoppable here, sir.&quot;\n\n&quot;Excellent. Let me speak to her.&quot; Will replied. The squad leader turned the monitor back towards Kim.\n\n&quot;This isn\'t going to work, Du.&quot; Kim said coldly. &quot;I\'ve been through this before.&quot;\n\n&quot;I know you have, Miss Possible. But, in this case, we\'re not threatening to kill your families.&quot;\n\n&quot;Then what are you doing with them?&quot; Kim asked, &quot;I don\'t think you arrested them for kicks.&quot;\n\n&quot;Of course not. We have no need to threaten you with their deaths.&quot; Du\'s face turned solmen. &quot;Because we\'ve already killed them.&quot;\n\n&quot;YOU WHAT?!&quot; Ron dashed towards the monitor again. This time six GJ agents leaped into the fray, restraining Ron, who kept fighting against them with barely contained fury. \n\n&quot;Another outburst like that, Mr. Stoppable, and I will have them put a bullet through your head.&quot; Will said quietly. &quot;I take no pleasure in the thought, believe me, but I only need Miss Possible alive, not you.&quot;\n\n&quot;You have ten seconds to explain what the hell\'s going on, Du.&quot; Kim growled.\n\n&quot;Your families, alone with Mr. Load, have been breathing in a odorless, tasteless, and otherwise viturally undetectable neurotoxin for the three hours we\'ve had them in custody. In approximately 12 more hours, their entire nervous systems will shut down. It will be slow and very painful as I understand it. In the case of the baby...well, smaller bodies and all.&quot;\n\n&quot;YOU WOULDN\'T DARE!&quot; Kim snarled. \n\n&quot;Fortunately, given our technology, if you give up now, you can easily be here before the 9 hour mark is reached, which is the point where little Hana is going to start feeling the effects of the toxin. Once you\'ve arrived, I guarantee you that your families will be adminstered the antidote immediately. However, if you are not at GJ Headquarters within those 9 hours, we will start increasing the amount of neurotoxin in the room.&quot;\n\n&quot;You tell Dr. Director that this is the most EVIL--&quot;\n\n&quot;Dr. Director is no longer in charge.&quot; Will said cutting Kim off. &quot;Now, once agian, the choice is yours. Surrender, or we can have another of your typical prolonged hand to hand conflicts, and all the time the minutes are ticking away on Hana\'s life.&quot;\n\nKim\'s fists clenched involuntarily. She looke dover at Ron, who was still being held by the GJ agents. Her expression softened as she saw Ron hanging his head. He looked up at her, despair etched on  his face.\n\n&quot;Kim...please...don\'t let them do that to Hana,&quot; he said quietly. Kim nodded and fought to keep the tears in her eyes from flowing. She hardened her expression and turne dbakc to the squad leader and the monitor.\n\n&quot;All right, you win. For now.&quot; she said. &quot;We surrender.&quot;\n\n&quot;Good. I\'m glad to see you take after your parents. Squad Leader Lawrence?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes, sir?&quot; Lawrence said.\n\n&quot;Do it.&quot;\n\n&quot;Sir.&quot; she handed the monitro back to Henderson and held up her hand. &quot;Ready...&quot;\n\nThe GJ agents raidsed their weapons. Kim\'s eyebrows shot up.\n\n&quot;WAIT! We surrendered, dammit!&quot;\n\n&quot;FIRE!&quot;\n\nKim had no time to react as hundreds of tranquilizer darts shot from the GJ weaponry. While most of them missed, plenty more struck her body. Within seconds she felt groggy and her vision was fading.  As she fell to the rooftop, she heard Ron calling her name, but he was too far away for her to reach him before the blackness came crashing down over her.  She tried calling out to Faye for help, but there was no response.\n\nFaye was just as helpless as she was.\n\n\n--Erin M.','845f87678cd1e9ecebc84019d9218ad8',0,'','7dq8yqnn',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462173,19118,6,94,0,'192.195.66.129',1298109127,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: KP: The Hyde Factor (chapters 8-14 COMPLETE)','Kim let out an involuntary cry of pain as she was thrown back into her clinically white cell. She got to her feet and charged at the Global Justice guards who had tossed her into the room. The door slid shut and sealed just as she reached it. Kim screamed in rage and slammed a fist against the door, before dragging herself over to the small bunk and throwing herself on it.\n\nIt had been days since Paris, and during all that time, Kim\'s life had been reduced to an unending string of prolonged and humiliating agonies. She hadn\'t seen Ron or her Family in all that time, only being told by Will Du that the Possibles, the Stoppables, and Wade were being held in &quot;protective custody, for the time being.&quot; So, aside from meals and the occasional bathroom break, there had been a series of systematic attmpts to force Faye out of hiding. Everything from sleep deprivation, to prolonged drugging had been used. Today, however, today they had upped their game...\n\n--\n\n&quot;It\'s not working, sir.&quot; Will said over the phone to ICAD One, raising his voice to be heard over the screams coming from behind the security door.\n\n&quot;Up the voltage, then.&quot; ICAD One replied. &quot;I want Morgan by the end of the week, Du.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes, sir, I understand that. But if we push too hard, we\'re going to have permanent damage, and we don\'t know how much punishment one takes will affect the other.&quot;\n\n&quot;Noted, Agent Du. Which is why I haven\'t authorized any of the Class C interrogation methods. I\'ll give you two more days, but if there\'s no progress, we may have to move to more drastic methods. In the meantime...&quot;\n\n&quot;...yes, sir.&quot; Du hung up the phone, and pressed the button for the intercom in the room. &quot;Up the voltage.&quot;\n\nThe volume of the screams increased, makuing it through the one way glass and into the observation room. Du forced himself to watch every minute of it.\n\n --\n\nKim tugged down the hospital gown they made her wear, and turned towards the wall, not giving them the satisfaction of seeing how much it was getting to her. She was tired, hurting, and plotting horrible bloody vengance for when she finally got out of here.\n\n[i:11oi395n]Good for you. It\'s about time.\n[/i:11oi395n]\nKim\'s eyes snapped open, and she forced herself to remain in her current position. She hadn\'t heard from Faye since her capture. Her deranged alter ego had been worryingly absent, and even worse, silent. Kim had figured she was lying low, since she could still feel Faye lurking like a hibernating snake in the bottom of her brain. \n\n&quot;Faye?&quot; she asked.\n\n[i:11oi395n]Keep your mouth shut. You want to play another round of &quot;Where Will the Electrodes Go Next?&quot;\n[/i:11oi395n]\nKim bit her lip and resigned herself to what was going to be the strangest conversation she would ever have in her life. \n\n[b:11oi395n]Where the hell have you been?\n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]What do you care? I figured you\'d be grateful for the break.\n[/i:11oi395n]\n[b:11oi395n]Cute. \n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]Still putting up the brave front, huh? Noble. Stupid...but noble.\n[/i:11oi395n]\n[b:11oi395n]It\'s not a front.\n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]Sure it isn\'t. When are you going to accept the fact that I know what you know, I feel what you feel? Well, when I\'m awake anyway.\n[/i:11oi395n]\n[b:11oi395n]Is there a point to all this, or are you just gloating?\n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]You\'re dying, Kim.\n[/i:11oi395n]\n[b:11oi395n]Yeah, right.\n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]I suppose I deserve that. I\'m not lying, Kim. You know that. I\'ve done a lot of horrible, wonderful things. But have I ever lied to you?\n[/i:11oi395n]\n[b:11oi395n]...\n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]Clearly you need proof. Close your eyes.\n[/i:11oi395n]\n[b:11oi395n]Why? So you can take control again?\n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]So I can share with you what I can feel and hear. I promise I won\'t take control unless you say so. Seriously, what have you got to lose?\n[/i:11oi395n]\n[b:11oi395n]...all right. \n[/b:11oi395n]\nKim took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She fought to keep from opening them again as she suddenly heard the pounding of her heart. The arrythmic pounding of her heart. She felt the blood flowing in her veins and arteries slowing down. She could hear the synapses in her brain as they fired at fewer intervals. Her nerve endings were singing from overexertion, and every little nick and cut and fracture felt like agony.\n\n[b:11oi395n]How do you put up with this?\n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]I don\'t. You\'re the one hurting like this, Kim. Not me.\n[/i:11oi395n]\n[b:11oi395n]I thought we shared the damage we took.\n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]Not anymore. I figured out how to keep it seperate. No reason for both of us to be hurting on a regular basis.\n[/i:11oi395n]\nKim shifted on the bed, and bit down sharply on her lip as blinding pain moved in a wave throughout her body.\n\n[b:11oi395n]Stop it...STOP IT, PLEASE!\n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]Whoops! Sorry. Deep breaths.\n[/i:11oi395n]\nKim took several deep breaths, returning her breathing to normal as the pain receded to its previous level. She gingerly rolled back to her original position and opened her eyes.\n\n[b:11oi395n]What do you want?\n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]I want to help.\n[/i:11oi395n]\n[b:11oi395n]I seriously doubt that.\n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]Fine. I want control. Permanently.\n[/i:11oi395n]\n[b:11oi395n]Not a chance in hell.\n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]Thank you for the oh-so-typical Kim Possible response. You know it\'s going to happen. Even if they weren\'t torturing you in an effort to force a change, you have to have realized that I\'m the stronger of the two of us now. It\'s happening whether you want it or not, so why not just let it happen now?\n[/i:11oi395n]\n[b:11oi395n]Because I\'m not dead yet. I can still figure out a way out of here, save everyone and--\n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]And get this room filled with knockout gas the second you get up to go to that door. GJ knows all your tricks, Kim. That\'s one of the dangers of having your allies turn on you. They know how to keep you neutralized. \n[/i:11oi395n]\n[b:11oi395n]They\'ll do the same to you. \n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]But they don\'t know ALL my tricks. Hell, to be honest, even I don\'t know all my tricks yet. \n[/i:11oi395n]\n[b:11oi395n]I\'m not letting you loose on the world. I won\'t be responsible for that.\n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]And once again, the typical stupidly noble response. And again I say to you, it\'s going to happen anyway. You\'ve got about two days left. Then you die. \n[/i:11oi395n]\n[b:11oi395n]And you die with me. ICAD One doesn\'t get either of us. Sounds like I win.\n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]Really? What about Ron?\n[/i:11oi395n]\n[b:11oi395n]What?\n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]What about Ron? Or his parents? Your parents? The Tweebs? What about Hana, Kim?\n[/i:11oi395n]\n[b:11oi395n]You won\'t be able to do anything to them. They\'re safe.\n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]I wasn\'t talking about me. Do you really think ICAD One is just going to let them go once we croak? They can\'t risk this getting out and damaging GJ\'s reputation. They\'re all loose ends. And I think we can guess what sort of solution ICAD One has for loose ends. \n[/i:11oi395n]\n[b:11oi395n]...\n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]Let me out. Let me out and I promise they\'ll be safe. No one will lay a hand on any of them. \n[/i:11oi395n]\n[b:11oi395n]I don\'t trust you.\n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]Which means you aren\'t a complete idiot. But I WILL get them out. And I\'ll leave them alone. Once they\'re safe, they\'ll never see me again. \n[/i:11oi395n]\n[b:11oi395n]Never?\n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]Never. In fact, I\'ll go so far as to call the entire Tri-City region &quot;Off-Limits.&quot; Come on, Kim, deep down you know they\'ll never be safe unless I get them out of here. You don\'t have the strength anymore. I do. Let me out. \n[/i:11oi395n]\n[b:11oi395n]Three conditions.\n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]Go.\n[/i:11oi395n]\n[b:11oi395n]You get everyone out safely, including Dr. Director. You disappear once they\'re back home. \n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]Done. And the third?\n[/i:11oi395n]\n[b:11oi395n]...you make them suffer for what they\'ve done to all of us. \n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]Are you sure? No take-backs once it happens.\n[/i:11oi395n]\n[b:11oi395n]No more rules. Wipe the floor with them.\n[/b:11oi395n]\n[i:11oi395n]Now you\'re talking...\n[/i:11oi395n]\n---\n\n&quot;Sir?&quot; \n\nWill Du turned at the sound of the security tech\'s voice. He walked over to the montoring station. &quot;What is it?&quot;\n\n&quot;Movement from Possible\'s cell, sir.&quot; \n\n&quot;Show me.&quot; Du watched as the tech rewound the video on one screen, keeping the live feed open on another. On the playback, Possible collapsed on her bunk, facing the wall. She lay there for a few minutes, shifting slighty a couple of times. Then she shivered and Du swore he had seen her body...blur. Possible was still again afterwards. He looked over at the live feed. \n\nPossible stood up, keeping her back to the camera. Du watched as she stretched her arms over her head and baend from side to side, working out kinks in her muscles. She seemed stronger than she had been when they had thrown her back in the cell. Healthier. Almost as if...\n\nDu grabbed a nearby phone an punched in an extension. &quot;Sir, it\'s Du. We have Morgan. Repeat: we have Morgan.&quot; Du listened to ICAD One\'s voice as he continued to monitor the cell. Morgan turned, showing her face for the first time. Her expression was one of barely concealed glee. She grinned widely, waving at the camera. \n\n&quot;She\'s taunting us on the camera, sir. Should I activate the gas?&quot;\n\n&quot;Not yet,&quot; ICAD One replied. &quot;I want to see what she\'ll do first. Have the Pacification Squad standing by.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes, sir.&quot; Du lowered the handset and spoke to the securty tech. &quot;Tell the Pacification Squad to be on alert and waiting in the corridor. We don\'t know what she\'s going to try.&quot;\n\nThe tech nodded and sent out the alert. Meanwhile, Morgan stood in the center of the cell, her hands on her hips, surveying the room. \n\n&quot;Good god, you guys don\'t waste any money on frills, do you?&quot; came her voice over the microphone. &quot;Seems a shame really. You might have saved yourself a lot of grief. \'Cause I\'m bored. Very, very bored.&quot;\n\nMorgan walked over to where the only other furnishing in the room were. A metal chair and table, both bolted to the ground. She looked at the chair, gripped it with one hand, and with a grunt of exertion, ripped it from the bolts in the floor and held it up.\n\n&quot;And when I\'m bored, stuff has a tendancy to get broken. Like, oh say, nosy security cameras. Ta ta!&quot;\n\nWith that, she hurled the chair at the camera and the feed went dark. Du grabbed the radio headset form the security tech, and slapped the button that activated the knockout gas.  \n\n&quot;Squad A, we have a security breach, knockout gas is filling the room. Masks on, and restrain the subject!&quot;\n\n&quot;Roger that, Control.&quot; came the squad leader\'s voice. &quot;Masks on, entering holding cell. Visibility is low, gas still hasn\'t cleared. Wait...I think I see something...&quot;\n\nDu and the security tech winced as the sounds of a violent beating came over the radio. The members of the squad screaamed and yelled, firing rubber bullets at random artound the room. There were screams of pain and the sounds of bodies hitting the floor like sacks of meat. Within twenty seconds the sounds had stopped, nothing but the hiss of the ventilation fans as they sucked the knockout gas out of the cell. \n\n&quot;Squad leader, report.&quot; Du said quietly. &quot;Squad leader, report! Did you neutralize the subject?&quot;\n\nThe sound of breathing filled the speakers, then a lilting sing song voice filled the airwaves.\n\n&quot;No more mercy, no more fools, no more of Kimmie\'s stupid rules.&quot;\n\n&quot;You can\'t escape, Morgan,&quot; Du said. &quot;The base is on lockdown. There\'s no way out.&quot;\n\n&quot;Who says I want to get out?&quot; Morgan replied with a sharp little laugh. &quot;It\'s much more fun to have the little rats scurry around trying to stay alive. Catch me if you can, Willy.&quot;\n\nThe radio expired with a sharp whine of feedback as Morgan destroyed the radio. Du tore off the headset and looked down at the security tech. &quot;Red alert. Every squad at the ready. And get extra agents on the detainees.&quot;\n\nAs the tech activated the alarms, Du picked the phone back up. &quot;Yes, sir. I suggest clearing out as quickly as you can. I think we should take every precaution, just to be on the safe side. Yes, sir. Honestly, sir, while Possible looked to be on her last legs, Morgan doesn\'t. I honestly don\'t know what to expect. Yes, sir, I would say that. Yes, sir. I\'ll keep you posted.&quot;\n\nDu hung up the phone, and put on the radio headset again, tunig it to an all-access frequency. &quot;Attention all agents, we are at red alert. Repeat: we are at red alert. Be ready for anything, people... \n\n&quot;The monster is loose.&quot;\n\n--Erin M.','4e580977955ad7ba4353a427fadca44b',0,'YA==','11oi395n',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462174,19118,6,94,0,'192.195.66.129',1298109392,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: KP: The Hyde Factor (chapters 8-14 COMPLETE)','&quot;Elbow to the face, kick to the ribs, fist to the nose, wait for the blood...good...heel to the kneecap...then to the groin...tilt up the chin, aaaaaaaaand KABAM!&quot;\n\nThe hapless GJ agent who had encountered Faye Morgan in the locker room flew through the air and slammed into a bank of lockers. Faye strode up to the prone form, flexing her fingers. \n\n&quot;Damn, need to pull the punch next time. I just wanted to get your attention.&quot; she said, kneeling down, and rifling through the agent\'s pockets. She pulled out a ring of keys, with a coded key card on the ring. &quot;Oooh, \'Arsenal Officer!\' Very nice. Thank you....Alice. Now, lessee here.&quot;\n\nFaye stood up and loked the prone agent over. &quot;Looks like we wear the same size. Now where\'s your locker, Alice?&quot;\n\nFaye scanned the lockers, located the right one, and casually punched a hole through the door, follwed by ripping it off the hinges and tossing it aside. There was a gym bag in the locker. A pair of black gloves and ankle boots were under the bag. Faye unzipped it and pulled out a pair of jeans and a black T-shirt. As she did so, a cheap MP3 player with a built-in USB jack clattered on the floor. \n\nFaye picked it up and turned it on. She scrolled through the titles on the miniature display. She grinned. &quot;Oh, this\'ll scare the shit out of \'em. Thanks, Alice!&quot;\n\n--\n\nElsewhere in the building, the Possibles, the Stoppables, and Wade were pondering their situation. To be fair, Global Justice had placed them in what was basically a self contained three bedroom apartment. The sleeping arrangements were cramped, but livable. It would have been kind of pleasant, if the door wasn\'t always locked.\n\nAnd if Ron didn\'t keep trying to break it down.\n\n&quot;Son, give it a rest.&quot; his father said. &quot;The door isn\'t going to budge.&quot; \n\nRon slammed a fist into the door. &quot;I channeled the ultimate monkey power when Kim was about to be killed by aliens and now, I can\'t even get a flicker when she might be getting tortured to death! What the hell good am I?&quot;\n\n&quot;Ronnie, watch your language.&quot; his mom replied automatically, putting her hands over Hana\'s ears. The toddler burbled happily, thinking it was a new game.\n\nRon stalked over to the couch and sat down heavily, frustration warring with despair on his face. &quot;Where\'s Wade?&quot;\n\n&quot;In the bedroom with James and the boys.&quot; Anne said, coming from the kitchenette. She handed Ron a soda. &quot;Still no luck in decoding the lock.&quot;\n\n&quot;Thanks, Dr. P.&quot; Ron said, opening the soda and taking a swig. he looked up at Anne, his anger having been replaced with sadness. &quot;Do you think we\'ll get her back? I mean, for good?&quot;\n\nAnne sighed and sat on the arm of the couch. &quot;Assuming we manage to get out of this? I don\'t know, Ron. The idea Wade and I had is extremely risky.&quot;\n\n&quot;What do you mean?&quot;\n\n&quot;It\'s complex, but basically...no, let\'s try this instead. Have you seen the movie Identity?&quot;\n\n&quot;Mom still doesn\'t let R-rated movies in the house, and Kim--&quot;\n\n&quot;Doesn\'t really like them.&quot; Anne finished, smiling.  &quot;I know. In any event, I\'m afraid I have to spoil the movie for you in order for you to understand. In Identity, ten people end up at a motel in the middle of nowhere thanks to a blinding rainstorm. As they bunk down, someone starts killing them off one by one.&quot;\n\n&quot;Like that Agatha Christie book?&quot; Ron asked.\n\n&quot;Similar. But the twist here is that it turns out that these ten people aren\'t actually real, and neither is the motel or the storm.&quot;\n\n&quot;Say what?&quot;\n\nAnne smiled again before continuing. &quot;The ten people are actually the multiple personalities of a prison inmate who is about to be executed for murder. He\'s the subject of an experimental psychiatric procedure which puts all his personalities in conflict with each other until only one is left.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah, but that\'s a movie.&quot; Ron said, &quot;I bet you can\'t use something like that in real life.&quot;\n\n&quot;And you\'d be right...if it weren\'t Kim and Faye we were talking about. Since we know that Faye has her own mind within Kim\'s head, it means that, if we can induce the right kind of hypnotic state, we could conceivably force Kim and Faye to confront each other.&quot;\n\n&quot;Confront? You mean fight?&quot;\n\n&quot;Essentially.&quot;\n\nRon frowned. &quot;To the death?&quot;\n\nAnne\'s face fell and she looked at the floor. &quot;...yes.&quot;\n\nRon grabbed Anne\'s shoulders.&quot;And you were going to put Kim up against Faye with no backup? No offense, Dr. P, but are you nuts?&quot;\n\nAnne frowned at Ron in such a way that Ron quickly took his hands away. &quot;No, it isn\'t the ideal situation, Ron. But we know that Faye likes existing and she\'s not going to give up without a fight. The only ace that we have is that Kim is still in there and we know that she NEVER gives up. Ever.&quot;\n\nAnne sighed and leaned against the back of the sofa. &quot;Of course, the hard part is going to get Faye to stay still long enought to induce that hypnotic state.&quot;\n\nRon looked at the floor, processing all this. He looked up at Anne, resolute. \n\n&quot;Don\'t worry, Dr. P. I\'ll make sure she stays put.&quot;  He got up from the couch and barged into the bedroom &quot;Wade, show me what you got so far. We\'re getting out of this dump!&quot;\n\n--\n\n&quot;Squad B reporting,&quot; said the squad leader into his communicator. Behind him, the six members of his squad  nervously scanned the corridors surrounding them. \n\n&quot;We\'re moving into Southwest Sub 3. No sign of target.&quot;\n\n&quot;Eyes open, Squad B,&quot; Will Du replied, &quot;Agent Newsome was found in the locker room down there. Odds are that she hasn\'t gone far.&quot;\n\n&quot;Copy that, Control.&quot; the squad leader let go of the button on the mic, keeping the channel open so Control could monitor the situation. He nodded at the other GJ agents in the squad, who removed the stun rifles they had been issued. \n\nAs they moved down the corridor, each agent checked the others that branched off of it, calling out &quot;clear&quot; when they saw nothing. As they moved into the next sector, the squad leader got back on the radio.\n\n&quot;Squad B reporting, moving into Southwest Sub 4. Still no sign of--&quot;\n\n There was a sudden burst of feedback over the radio and the PA speakers in the ceiling. It was quickly replaced with was sounded like a Pink song in progress.\n\n[i:38lcwacz]I\'m the instigator of underwear\nShowing up here and there.\nUh-oh. (oh no.)\nI\'m always on a mission from the get go. (get go.)\nSo what if it\'s only one o\'clock in the afternoon?\nIt\'s never too soon \nTo send out all the invitations\nTo the last night of your lives!\n[/i:38lcwacz]\nSuddenly, there was a flash of scarlet and the GJ squad found themselves confronted with a whirling dervish of energy as Faye dropped form a ceiling vent and into their midst. Stun rifles were dropped as she quickly and ruthlessly began dislocating limbs and breaking teeth, singing along with the music as she did so.\n\n&quot;Lordy lordy lordy, I can\'t help it. I like to party. It\'s genetic. It\'s electrifying.&quot;\n\nFaye grabbed the stun rifle from one dumbfounded agent and turned it on the squad, immobilizing three of them. She then tossed it aside, and threw an elbow directly into the face of the agent sneaking up behind her, blackening his eye. She followed that up with a roundhouse kick that broke his jaw in three places and sent him to the floor.\n  \n&quot;Wind me up and watch me go, where she stops, nobody knows. It\'s a good excuse to be a bad influence on you.&quot; \n\nFaye finished the verse by kneeing one of the remaining agents in the groin, grabbed his nose between her first two fingers and twisted sharply, breaking his nose. The agent crumpled to the floor, trying to staunch the massive flow of blood gushing from his nostrils. \n\nBefore Faye had a chance to admire her handiwork, the only female agent in the squad threw an arm around her neck, attempting to get the violent sociopath in a headlock. Faye grinned and sunk her teeth into the agent\'s forearm, drawing blood. The agent relaxed her grip out of reflex, giving Faye the chance to smash one of the agent\'s kneecaps with her left foot. The agent collapsed on the floor. Faye stood over her, grinned and slowly and deliberately licked the blood from her teeth.\n\n&quot;Yummy,&quot; she said, conversationally, &quot;Although, if I were you, I\'d get to an OB/GYN pretty damn quick--&quot;\n\nAnother agent charged Faye, only to be grabbed by the throat and casually tossed into the far wall. He slumped to the floor, unconscious. Faye rolled her eyes and turned back tot he female agent.\n\n&quot;As I was saying,&quot; she continued, &quot;it tastes like you\'re about three weeks along. Might want to see what sort of maternity program GJ offers.&quot; \n\nShe turned back to the only agent still standing, the squad leader, who had pulled out his sidearm and was holding it. The gun didn\'t shake but Faye noticed the extra tension in the squad leader\'s shoulder.\n\n&quot;Oh put it away, will you?&quot; she said, grabbing the gun and easily disarming him. &quot;God, you guys suck. I\'ll never understand why Kimmie considered hooking up with you once she got out of college. Oh well.&quot;\n\nHer fist flashed out and made contact with the squad leader\'s jaw, knocking him out instantly. As he hit the floor, Faye noticed a palm pilot-like device on his belt. She reached down and picked it up, thumbing the screen. It lit up, asking for a thumb scan. Faye grabbed the leader\'s thumb and pressed it against the screen. The screen switched to a minature desktop. Faye thumbed through a few screens until she found the prisoner roster.\n \nShe smiled, made sure the device wasn\'t going to kick her out, and pocketed it, singing again as she walked away.\n\n&quot;I\'m off to see the doctor. I hope she has a cure. She wants to make me better. What does that even mean? We don\'t know!&quot;\n\n--\n\nWill Du strode down the holding cell corridor, two Global Justice agents flanking him. He was speaking into a bluetooth headset lodged in his ear. \n\n&quot;ICAD One is clear? Good. Judging from what we heard on Squad B\'s radios, Morgan\'s heading for Dr. Director. I\'m heading there now to move her to a new location. Keep the squads moving and for God\'s sake, tell them to be more careful than Squad B was. Du out.&quot;\n\nHe stopped in front of one cell and swiped his ID in the card reader by the door. The red light above the door turned green and the door hissed open. Inside, Dr. Director was lying on the bunk, her good arm behind her head. \n\n&quot;Dr. Director, we need to move you.&quot; Du said respectfully.\n\n&quot;Bit off more than you could chew, have you?&quot; Director said, not moving. &quot;Where\'s ICAD One?&quot;\n\n&quot;He\'s already relocated.&quot; \n\n&quot;Figures. I never liked the rat bastard, did you know that?&quot;\n\n&quot;I think we all knew that, Dr. Director.&quot; Du answered. Director sat up on the bunk, taking care not to bump her casted arm.\n\n&quot;Morgan\'s loose, isn\'t she?\' Director gave an evil little grin. &quot;Morgan\'s loose and she\'s ripping through the ranks.&quot;\n\n&quot;She hasn\'t killed anyone.&quot;\n\n&quot;Not yet.&quot; Director responded. &quot;If Morgan\'s loose, that means either your torture plans backfired spectacularly or she finally overpowered Kimberly. In the first case, you have a slim chance Kimberly could return. In the other, Morgan can now operate without any sort of restriction. In either case, Agent Du...well, to be brutally honest about it, you\'re fucked.&quot;\n\nDu\'s frown deepened. &quot;I can understand you aren\'t happy with me, but Morgan is headed here, and she\'s not after me. She\'s after you, and as such, we need to make sure you\'re safe.&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh, she doesn\'t have to worry about me.&quot; came a new voice.\n\nDu whirled around and Director got to her feet. Faye Morgan stood in the doorway, leaning up with one hand on the door frame. Behind her, the two GJ agents on guard were lying tangled on the floor. She smiled brightly, violet eyes glittering in the light.\n\n&quot;You, on the other hand, Willy, are in BIIIIIIIIG trouble.&quot; she finished. Du quickly pressed a button to his GJ Stopwatch. The taser cup flew out of the watch and towards Faye. There was a flash of movement and, amazingly, Faye was holding the cable, past the suction cup.\n\n&quot;Bad move, Willy.&quot; Faye yannked ont he cable roughly. Will, not prepared for her disproportionate strength, was pulled off his feet. As he approached Faye, she whirled around and caught him with a roundhouse to the face. No sooner had Du hit the floor, than Directer darted forward with a strike from her good arm. Faye quickly blocked, causing Director to counter with a kick to Faye\'s ribs. Faye grunted from the impact but smiled.\n\n&quot;Sneaky. I like that.&quot;  She responded with a flurry of punches that Director expertly dodged and blocked with her good arm. Faye grinned again.\n\n&quot;No wonder Kimmie looked up to you. Even with one arm, you still could kick somebody\'s ass.&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m sure if it weren\'t you, I\'d feel flattered.&quot; Director responded with another punch. &quot;You\'re no slouch yourself.&quot;\n\nFaye grinned again as she blocked it. &quot;Too bad I have to end it.&quot; Her other arm flashed out, grabbed Director\'s cast and twisted, breaking the cast and the arm inside it. Director screamed in agony and fell to the floor, nursing her arm. Faye looked down at her. \n\n&quot;Sorry about that, but look on the bright side, Kimmie asked me to rescue you. It\'s easier if you aren\'t trying to take me down at the same time.&quot;\n\n&quot;Then I\'ll do it!&quot; Du said as he threw an arm around Faye\'s neck. Faye snarled and twisted. Du wasn\'t sure how it happened, but somehow Faye managed to break his grip, shatter one kneecap and get him in the exact same headlock, with the exception that Faye was increasing the pressure and cutting off his oxygen.\n\n&quot;You sell out your boss, you torture one of your best allies, and you try to sneak up on me. You have got to be one of the dumbest human beings I\'ve ever met. Admittedly, that\'s not saying much, since it\'s only been three months.&quot;\n\nDu struggled to escape, causing Faye to tighten her grip. His face turned red as his air was cut off. \n\n&quot;Ah ah ah,&quot; Faye chided. &quot;You know, Willy, I can understand why you sold everybody out. I don\'t like it, but I can understand it. You\'re a guy in an untenable positon. Loyal to the job and the ideals, right?&quot;\n\nDu struggled some more, and Faye loosened her grip just enough to let him gasp for air before tightening her grip again. Du tried to pry her arm away from his neck but Faye\'s arm proved immobile.\n\n&quot;Pay attention, will you?&quot; Faye said, annoyed. &quot;But then you chose to be loyal to the rules. The procedure. So, I\'m pretty sure if I asked you why you did it, you\'d say \'I was only following orders.\' Am I right?&quot;\n\nDu groaned in response.\n\n&quot;I thought so. And honestly, I really don\'t get a lot of pleasure out of killing guys who are just doing their jobs.&quot; Faye glanced over at Dr. Director, who looked back, frowned and shook her head. Faye\'s grin turned satanic and she looked down at Du. \n\nThe Global Justice agent\'s eyes widened and he made one last struggle just before Faye twisted his head and snapped his neck. She dropped Du\'s lifeless body to the floor and looked at Dr. Director.\n\n&quot;But I get enough.&quot; she finished. Her expression hardened and she stormed into the cell, jerked Dr. Director to her feet and shoved her forward. \n\n&quot;Let\'s go, Betty, and don\'t do anything heroic or, promise or no promise, you\'re gonna be put in the category of Regretful Casualties.&quot;\n\nFaye put pressure on the damaged arm and propelled Director out of the holding area.\n\n--\n\n &quot;So,&quot; Ron said, &quot;is this going to work?&quot;  \n\n&quot;Please.&quot; Jim replied.\n\n&quot;It\'s us.&quot; Tim finished.\n\n&quot;Boys, I\'ve told you before, while anything\'s possible for a Possible, it\'s not polite to brag,&quot; James chided from behind Ron. He grinned. &quot;At least not until AFTER you\'ve been proven right.&quot;\n\n&quot;Wade?&quot; Ron asked. &quot;Is this going to work?&quot;\n\nWade and the Tweebs had pried the security keypad by the door off and had wired in a strange device composed of tinfoil, lamp cord, electronics stolen from the television, several pieces of silverware, and the keypad itself. The imprisoned families had gathered around to witness the preteen geniuses in action.\n\n&quot;It should.&quot; Wade answered. &quot;It\'d be a lot faster if we had the Kimmunicator, but this should do in a pinch.  The keypad is wired in such a way so that, once Jim makes the final connection, it\'ll run as many number combinations as it can through the system. Once we have a match, the door should open. Simple.&quot;\n\n&quot;I hope so,&quot; Mr. Stoppable said. &quot;But that\'s one hell of a lot of numbers to run. It could take days.&quot;\n\n&quot;Language!&quot; Mrs. Stoppable snapped, covering Hana\'s ears again.\n\n&quot;Sorry, dear.&quot; \n\n&quot;Anyway,&quot; Wade said, dragging the topic back to the device. &quot;If all goes well, we should be out of here in a matter of minutes. Ready, Jim?&quot;\n\nJim gave a thumbs up. &quot;Ready!&quot;\n\n&quot;Hit it.&quot;\n\nJim connected up the final wire. No sooner had he done so, than the light on the door frame switched from red to green and the latch clicked audibly. The group looked up at the door in surprise.\n\n&quot;That\'s...fast.&quot; Ron said. Wade frowned.\n\n&quot;It shouldn\'t have been.&quot; he replied.\n\nThe door flew open, revealing Faye and Dr. Director. &quot;It wasn\'t.&quot; Faye said simply, before striding into the room. The parent sin the room protectively grabbed their children. Ron shook his dad\'s hand off his shoulder.\n\n&quot;What are you doing here?&quot; he demanded. Faye frowned.\n\n&quot;Didn\'t I warn you about taking that tone with me?&quot; she said. &quot;And ihn answer to your question, I\'m saving your collective asses.&quot;\n\n&quot;Lang--&quot; Mrs. Stoppable began,but snapped her mouth shut when Faye turned her gaze on her. Faye turned her attention back to Ron.\n\n&quot;So, let\'s get everybody rounded up and out of this hellhole, huh?&quot; \n\n&quot;We\'re not going anywhere with you.&quot; Anne said firmly. &quot;We will go with Kim.&quot;\n\n&quot;Not possible...in every sense of the word.&quot; Faye answered. &quot;Don\'t argue with me.&quot;\n\n&quot;Don\'t.&quot; Dr.Director said. &quot;She\'s not lying.&quot;\n\n&quot;What do you mean? What happened to Kim?&quot; James demanded. Faye frowned and walked towards the Possibles, ping ponging her gaze between them, her voice rising with each sentence.\n\n&quot;Let me make this simple for you. Your daughter is DEAD, Dr. Possible. She turned control over to me, Dr. Possible. She will not be coming back, Dr. Possible. I\'m your only chance of getting out of here alive, Dr. Possible! Is that CLEAR, DOCTOR POSSIBLE?!&quot;\n\nAnne smacked Faye across the face hard enough to turn her head.\n\nFaye paused and held up one finger. &quot;You\'re upset at the news. It\'s a shock. So I\'ll let that slide,&quot; She turned her head back to face Anne. &quot;But you touch me again, and one of your precious little Tweebs are going to pay the price.&quot;\n\n&quot;Don\'t threaten me.&quot; Anne said, holding Faye\'s gaze. &quot;You may be nothing like her, but that\'s still my daughter\'s body you\'re running around in.&quot;\n\n&quot;I don\'t make threats. Do I, Betty?&quot; Faye called over her shoulder. Director looke dup from where she was slumped against the door, holding her broken arm.\n\n&quot;She killed Will Du,&quot; she stated quietly. As the news sunk in, a siren started sounding and red lights began flashing.\n\n&quot;Well,&quot; Faye said, &quot;looks like we have to table this discussion until later. MOVE IT!&quot;\n\nThe group quickly filed out of the room, Dr. Director leading, Ron bringing up the rear, with Anne pausing just long enough to give Faye another dirty look, which was ignored.\n\nRon paused at the door. &quot;We\'re not done, lady.&quot;\n\n&quot;Wouldn\'t have it any other way, sport.&quot; Faye replied. She shoved Ron out the door and they followed the rest of the group down the hallway.\n\n--\n\nWith Will out of the picture, and ICAD One incommunicado, the GJ forces were in disarray,making the rest of the escape surprisingly smooth. After &quot;consulting&quot; with Dr. Director, Faye led the group to the roof of the building where there was a wating helicopter. \n\n&quot;I\'m not going to be able to fly it. Not with this arm.&quot; Director said, as they reached the roof access. \n\n&quot;Not a problem,&quot; Faye said. &quot;\'Daddy\' can fly it. He took lessons last summer. Can\'t you, Jimmy?&quot;\n\n&quot;Don\'t call me Jimmy, young lady.&quot; James replied. He turned to Dr. Director. &quot;But she\'s right. I mean, it was a smaller helicopter, but the principle should be the same, right?&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'ll coach you.&quot; Director sighed. \n\n&quot;Glad that\'s settled.&quot; Faye opened the door to the roof. A huge gust of wind almost blew it closed. She forced it open and motioned the group through. Ron and Dr. Director were the last throguh. As Ron helped the former GJ commander, he felt a weight pressed  into his hand. He glanced down and his eyes widened as he saw the knockout dart Director had passed to him.\n\n&quot;I grabbed it when she wasn\'t looking. Take her out as soon as you can.&quot; Director whispered. Ron nodded in reply and put the dart in his pocket.\n\nThe wind picked up out on the roof proper. In the distance, dark menacing clouds were visible in the night sky, illuminated by flashes of lightning.\n\n&quot;Better get loaded quick, kids.&quot; Faye said. &quot;That storm\'s gonna play hell if it gets here before we take off.&quot;\n\nThe desire for freedom overriding the desire to get away form Faye, the Possibles and the Stoppables began loading the helicopter. Wade followed them and Ron stopped in front of Faye before he boarded.\n\n&quot;What next?&quot; he asked.\n\n&quot;Hmm?&quot; Faye said, looking at the roof access in case any GJ agents happened to get antsy.&quot;What do you mean what next?&quot;\n\n&quot;After we get out of here. What happens then?&quot;\n\nFaye shrugged. &quot;You go home. I go away. And if we\'re both lucky, we\'ll never see each other again.&quot;\n\n&quot;I see.&quot; Ron said quietly. His arm flashed out, bringing the dart up towards Faye\'s neck. Before he knew it, he was flying through the air and slid along the gravelled roof. he rolled to a stop and started to get up. \n\nThere was an explosion of pain in his ribs and he fell back to the roof, where pressure was placed on his hand, forcing him to drop the dart. He looke dup to see Faye standing menacingly over him.\n\n&quot;You just couldn\'t leave it alone could you?&quot; she said, anger creasing her features. &quot;I was really hoping to avoid this, but you just had to push.&quot;\n\n&quot;You aren\'t winning, lady.&quot; Ron growled. &quot;I want her back.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, you can\'t have her.&quot; Faye said, putting more weight on Ron\'s hand. Ron grimaced in pain. &quot;She gave up, Ronnie. She lost. I won.&quot; Faye began stomping on Ron\'s hand with each of her words. &quot;And. She\'s. Not. Coming. BACK!&quot;\n\nOn &quot;BACK!&quot; Faye reared back and kicked Ron across the face sending him rolling across the roof. Faye snorted and turned back to the group crowed around the helicopter. &quot;If your asses aren\'t airborne in the next two minutes, I\'m gonna finish the job GJ had planned for you! Understand?&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh, you betcha.&quot; came a quiet voice from behind Faye. She looked over her shoulder and was blinded by a flash of blue light. Faye found herself flying through the air, but she managed to right herself and land in a crouching position on the roof, sliding on the soles of her feet. She came to a stop and looked up.\n\nRon was standing on the opposite end of the roof, surrounded by a glowing blue numbus of energy that was in the vague shape of a monkey. He glared at her with a stern expression.\n\n&quot;You\'re done, Faye. No more. I\'m going to get Kim back.&quot; he said quietly.\n\nFaye\'s face twisted into a sadistic grin. &quot;Over my dead body.&quot;\n\nRon shrugged. &quot;If that\'s how it\'s gotta be.&quot;\n\n&quot;I was hoping you\'d say something like that.&quot;\n\nLightning flashed and the thunder followed a scant few seconds afterward. \n\nThe storm had arrived.\n\n--\n\n&quot;Bad Influence&quot; lyrics ©2009 Billy Mann, Alecia B.

Ronnie and I have a few things to discuss.&quot;\n\nDr. Director looked back at Ron. &quot;Ronald, are you sure...?&quot;\n\n&quot;Do it.&quot; Ron said sternly, not taking his gaze off Faye. The aura of Mystical Monkey Power around him flared briefly before returning to a steady glow.\n\nDirector nodded and notioned for everyone to get off the plane. As she stepped down, Mrs. Stoppable ran to her son.\n\n&quot;Ronnie, come on, you don\'t have to do this.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes, I do, Mom.&quot; Ron\'s gaze was steady. Faye folded her arms and looked amused. &quot;She killed Kim.&quot;\n\n&quot;Actually, it was more of an assisted suicide thing.&quot; Faye replied. Ron narrowed his eyes, gently took his mother by the shoulders and pushed her aside. \n\n&quot;Go downstairs, Mom. I\'ll be down in a minute.&quot; \n\n&quot;I\'m not letting you face that [i:20xylbov]thing[/i:20xylbov] alone!&quot;\n\nRon finally turned to face her, his expression softening. &quot;There\'s no one else left to stop her, Mom. If I don\'t do it, who will?&quot;\n\nMrs. Stoppable looked at her son, her eyes watering. She threw her arms around him.\n\n&quot;You come back to me in one piece, young man. Or you are going to get it, understand?&quot; she sobbed.\n\nRon smiled. &quot;Yes, ma\'am.&quot;\n\nFrom across the roof: &quot;Oh, that is just so...NAUSEATING. Can we get on with it please?&quot;\n\nRon and his mother looked up and gave Faye identical looks. Faye simply put her hands on her hips and looked bored. Mrs. Stoppable broke from Ron and went to join the rest of the group. As the group went back inside, the Possibles looked at Ron. Their expressions were all that was needed: Do what you have to. She\'d understand.\n\nWade passed Ron on his way to the roof access. &quot;Good luck, Ron. Wish I could be of more help.&quot;\n\nRon smirked. &quot;Wade, my man, you\'ve been more than a help through all of this.&quot; He reached into his pocket and pulled out Rufus. &quot;Take care of Rufus for me, okay? And Rufus, you hang in there, buddy. I\'ll be right back.&quot; \n\nRufus sniffled and bawled as Wade took him through the roof access. Dr. Director paused before leaving.\n\n&quot;We\'ll be ready. Just in case.&quot; she said.\n\nRon nodded. Director left and the door clanged shut. Faye rolled her eyes.\n\n&quot;Finally,&quot; she snorted. &quot;Any other touching family moments you want to have before you experience new and exciting levels of pain?&quot;\n\nRon cracked his knuckles, then moved into a fighting stance. &quot;Only one. If Kim\'s still in there somewhere, you know you aren\'t going to win. Because she loves me, and I love her and--&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh, Christ, don\'t give me that True Love Conquers All shit. Save it for the movies with the chicks in frilly dresses who dance with forest animals and sentient teapots,&quot; Faye interrupted. She slowly began circling Ron, who pivoted on one foot to keep her in view. Faye fented a couple of times, causing Ron to put his guard up.\n\n&quot;You know, despite the fact that you\'ve been really snotty ever since I got you out of that cell, I actually do like you, Ronnie. You\'re like me.&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m NOTHING like you!&quot; Ron snarled. \n\nFaye gave a predatory one sided grin. &quot;Really? You don\'t think so? Let\'s see, you almost always tell the truth. So do I. You always kept your word to Kimmie. So did I. And we both left her in the dirt.&quot;\n\nRon stared. &quot;What?&quot;\n\n&quot;You really couldn\'t tell?&quot; Faye asked. &quot;She was AFRAID of you, Ronnie.&quot;\n\n&quot;Don\'t call me \'Ronnie!\'&quot; Ron yelled, charging across the roof and executing a strike which Faye easily blocked. Ron followed up with more strikes, which was just as efficently parried. The two began moving across the roof, exchanding punches and kicks. Ron executed a perfect foot sweep which Faye jumped over. When she landed, she brought her foot up high for an axe kick. Ron crossed his forearms above his head and blocked the kick.\n\n&quot;She was afraid of YOU!&quot; Ron growled shoving hard, sending Faye stumbling. Faye shifted her weight and turned the stumble into a cartwheel that left her standing upright. She laughed as Ron got to his feet.\n\n&quot;Oh, I\'m not going to argue with you on that.&quot; she said. &quot;But she was just as afraid of you.&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m not the one who was trying to hurt her!&quot;\n\nFaye laughed again. &quot;Who said anything about hurting her? It wasn\'t that. And it wasn\'t the reason she was afraid of me, either. It\'s what we represented, Ronnie. She was afraid of our power. She was afraid of being [i:20xylbov]replaced[/i:20xylbov].&quot;\n\nFaye began forward flipping across the roof, increasing in speed with each flip. She handsprung into the air and planted both \nfeet into Ron\'s chest. Ron fell to the ground, while Faye pushed off him to backflip into the air and back onto her feet.\n\n&quot;That\'s not true.&quot; Ron said quietly. Faye shook her head.\n\n&quot;Really? She saw the footage the Lorwardian war drones recorded when you fought Warmonga and Warhok. She saw what you can do now. And let\'s face it, Ronnie, when your sidekick acquires nearly god-like power, are above average cheerleading skills really going to cut it anymore? If you can destroy an alien warship single handed without needing to be inside it, what do you need her for? She was DONE, Ron. And when I came along, and was able to kick a hundred times more ass than she ever did, well, it was only a matter of time before she was going to give up.&quot;     \n\n&quot;Kim doesn\'t give up!&quot; Ron got to his feet, got a running start and slid across the roof. Faye leaped into the air, but Ron managed to catch her foot between his shins and rotated sharply, sending her crashing into the roof. Faye yelped as her chin hit the roof and she bit her tongue hard. She kicked her way out of Ron\'s leg grip and got to her feet, spitting out blood.\n\n&quot;Nice,&quot; she commented. &quot;Of course she did. If she didn\'t, I wouldn\'t be here, would I? You outclassed her, Ron, and she knew it! So, she\'s gone. And now that we\'ve established that fact...&quot;\n\nFaster than Ron could follow, Faye reached down and pulled him close. Her face had lost it\'s psychotically amused expression and instead looked evil and menacing.\n\n&quot;...STOP HOLDING BACK!&quot; With a growl of exertion she spun and threw Ron over the side of the building. Ron\'s yell dopplered away as he fell out of sight. Faye snorted and walked to the edge of the roof. She peered over the edge.\n\n&quot;Are we really going to do this old cliche?&quot; she called down. No sooner were the words out of her mouth than a fist connected with her jaw, sending her flying with a grunt of pain. At the same time, lightning crashed, thunder roared and the rain began pouring down as Ron, surrounded by his mystical aura, levitated up and onto the roof.  \n\nRon glared down at Faye. &quot;You want to give up now?&quot;\n\nFaye looked up at him and grinned. &quot;Are you kidding? I\'m having way too much fun!&quot;\n\nFaye\'s claws ripped through the fingertips of her gloves and she sprang to her feet, taking a swipe at Ron. Ron backflipped out of the way, one of his feet flashing out. Faye snapped her hands out, caught it, then spun in place and sent Ron across the roof, causing him to crash into the roof access door. It buckled under the impact, and Ron slid down to the ground.\n\n&quot;That\'s it.&quot; he snarled. he got to his feet and concentrated. The aura flared up around him, his hair spiked upward and he slammed a foot down onto the roof, sending a massive seimic shockwave across the roof. Gravel and dust rippled across the roof.\n\nFaye leaped into the air to avoid the wave. As she rose into the air, Ron tackled her around the waist and bore her to the ground. Faye landed on her stomach, Ron on top of her.\n\n&quot;Bastard!&quot; she cried, throwing an elbow back. it connected just under Ron\'s rib cage, forcing the air out of his lungs. Ron gasped for breath and the mystical aura disappeared. Faye forced Ron off her and got to her feet, following up the elbow with a kick to the same place. Ron tried to howl in pain, but couldn\'t get the air into his lungs.\n\n&quot;Hail to the Mystical Monkey Master!&quot; Faye taunted, kicking him again. Ron rolled across the roof, trying to get to his feet. His lungs were burning and he found himself lacking the strength to get up. Faye walked up and kicked him in the face. \n\n&quot;Behold  the Chosen One!&quot; Faye sneered as Ron flipped onto his back, blood spewing from his nose and mouth. Faye strolled up to him and looked down.\n\n&quot;And like so many heroes, he\'s going to die for the woman he loves. Isn\'t that just--AAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!&quot;\n\nRon had gotten his wind back and struck out with his hand, extending his fingers at the end, so that they hit the nerve cluster right underneath her left kneecap. The leg collapsed and Faye fell to the ground. The monkey aura returned and Ron threw an arm around Faye\'s neck, clasping her in sleeper hold. Faye struggled, but Ron\'s arms wouldn\'t move.\n\n&quot;Give up.&quot; Ron said quietly. &quot;Give up or I swear, I will choke you to death.&quot;\n\n&quot;Fuck you!&quot; Faye gasped. Ron tightened his grip.\n\n&quot;Give up,&quot; he repeated.\n\n&quot;Not a chance.&quot; Faye felt her head lighten and her vision began to darken around the edges. She smiled. &quot;Go ahead. Do it.&quot;\n\nRon\'s frown deepened. &quot;It\'s not a bluff.&quot;\n\n&quot;I know.&quot; Faye answered. &quot;It gets easier, doesn\'t it? First, the Lorwardians and now, me. Oh they\'re all gonna fear you, Ronnie. That\'ll be fun, won\'t it?&quot;\n\nRon\'s frown disappeared. He remembered how he felt when GJ had reported that the remains of Warmonga and Warhok had been found. He hadn\'t wanted to kill them, just neutralize them. It had taken Kim weeks to convince him that it had been an accident. Even still, he never wanted to feel that way again.\n\nHe looked down at Faye...and found Kim staring up at him.\n\n&quot;Ron...help!&quot; she said weakly, before passing out. Ron quickly let her go and cradled her in his arms.\n\n&quot;KP?&quot; he asked quietly. Her eyes flashed open at the sound of his voice. \n\nHer purple eyes.\n\n&quot;Sucker.&quot; she taunted. Ron wasn\'t quite sure what he saw. One second he was holding Kim, then her face...blurred. It wasn\'t the right description, but it was the closest he could think of to explain what he saw. He also didn\'t have a word for the sickening wormy sensation of the transformation of the body in his arms. In less than a second, Faye had returned and she had clutched his throat, the claws of her hand pressing into the soft flesh. Blood began to well from where her claws pierced his skin.  \n\nRon automatically grabbed her wrist with both hands, trying to pry it from his neck. It was like trying to move an iron bar set in concrete. Ron managed to pull Faye\'s hand back enough to prevent her from crushing his windpipe. \n\nFaye chuckled. &quot;Looks like a stalemate, Ronnie. I can\'t get up just yet, and I seriously doubt you\'re going to break my grip.&quot;\nRon\'s eyes narrowed, and he let go of Faye\'s wrist, quickly grabbing her shoulders. Faye yelp in surprise as Ron shifted his weight and began rolling the two of them across the roof. Faye let go of his neck and glanced at the rapidly approaching edge. She looked back up at Ron, who\'s stony expression indicated he had no intention of slowing down. \n\n&quot;Oh no you DON\'T!&quot; Faye cried, bringing one knee up sharply and painfully between Ron\'s legs. Ron\'s eyes practically bugged out of his head and he grit his teeth in pain.  He let go of Faye and the two split apart and rolled to a stop. \n\n Neither of them moved. They just laid on the roof, breathing heavily, letting the rain wash over them. Ron rolled onto his side and threw up. The purging made him feel slightly better. Nearly every muscle in his body was crying out in agony, and, although he had no intention of showing it, he could tell he had just about reached his limit with the Mystical Monkey Power. He had to finish this, and fast.\n\n He rolled onto his stomach and got ready to get to his feet, when Faye leaped on top of him and forced him to the ground. She grabbed his hair and smashed his face into the roof. \n\n&quot;I\'ve had enough of you, Stoppable.&quot; She growled through her teeth. She pulled his head back and slammed it into roof again. Blood was flowing freely from Ron\'s nose and mouth now, and one eye was beginning to swell. \n\nFaye wasn\'t in much better condition. She had a large gash running down her cheek. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and she was pretty sure two of her teeth were loose enough to come out. She bashed Ron again.\n\n&quot;Give up.&quot; she said, her voice hoarse. &quot;Give up or I\'m going to rip your throat out. And then, I\'m going to kill your parents, then Kim\'s parents, then the Tweebs, then Wade, and then...&quot;\n\nFaye brough Ron\'s head up and leaned in close to whisper in  his ear. &quot;...I\'m going to take my own sweet time with dear...defenseless...Hana.&quot;\n\nRon\'s good eye flashed open and his mouth curled up into a snarl. He bucked his head back, forcing Faye to smack herself in the face with her own hand. She yelped in surprise and fell onto her back. Ron leaped on top of her and hauled her up by her shirt. His aura flared brightly, and his eyes glowed with an unearthly light.\n\n&quot;DON\'T TOUCH MY SISTER!&quot; He bellowed, his voice echoing with the primal rage of thousands of monkeys, apes, and other primates. He spun on his feet and threw Faye over his head towards the edge of the roof. As she passed over him, Faye\'s hand lashed out and she grabbed the collar of his shirt. The momentum was too much for Ron to compensate for and they both hurtled over the edge and towards the ground, seven stories below.\n\n--\n\n&quot;Attention Global Justice, this is Dr. Director speaking. As of now, I am back in control. Disregard all orders issued by either ICAD One or Acting Director Du. We are no longer in the business of illegaly kidnapping people and holding them against their will. No disciplinary action will be taken at the present time. However, an investigation will be forthcoming and we shall see what happens then. Medical team, report to holding cell block C and clean up what you find there. More information to follow. That is all.&quot;\n\nDr. Director clicked off the intercom and sat back in her desk chair. A member of the medical team was resetting her cast. She looked at the assembled throng of people.\n\n&quot;Wade, can you and Dr. Possible bring Kimberly back?&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, maybe.&quot; Wade said. &quot;In theory, what we want to do could work but--&quot;\n\n&quot;There\'s only a 50/50 chance it will,&quot; Anne finished. &quot;We can\'t force a permanent change. We\'re pretty sure that Faye\'s rapid development and mental separation are a side effect of DNAmy\'s modified Jekyll formula. At this point, Faye isn\'t a seperate personality, she\'s a competely separate person. The best we can do is try to force Kim and Faye to fight each other in their collective mind.&quot;\n\n&quot;Which means it could go either way.&quot; Director finished. She looked up at the Drs. Possible. &quot;I have to consider the safety of the world as a whole. If we do this, and if Faye wins, will you prevent us from doing what we have to?&quot;\n\nJames and Anne looked at each other. Director could see the conflict in their eyes, then the resolution. They held each other for support and looked at the Global Justice leader.\n\n&quot;If Faye wins,&quot; James began, &quot;then it means our little girl really is dead.&quot;\n\n&quot;And if that\'s the case,&quot; Anne finished, &quot; as far as we\'re concerned, she can burn in hell for it.&quot;\n\n&quot;First off,&quot; Wade said, trying to break the tension, &quot;we better make sure it\'s even possible to bring Kim back. For all we know, Faye might be right. We should ge tback up there and--&quot;\n\nSuddenly, there was a blinding flash of blue light through the window of the office, and a resounding crash that caused the whole building to vibrate. Director grabbed the phone. \n\n&quot;Report! What the hell was that?&quot; \n\nDirector frowned as the report came back. &quot;Have a medical team on standby. And clear the science lab in Subbasement Q. I\'m sending Mr. Load and Dr. Possible down there. And somebody make the Stoppables comfortable for crying out loud!&quot;\nShe slammed the phone down and looked up at the group. &quot;They just fell off the roof and made a large crater in front of the building.&quot;\n\n--\n\nThe medical team and a squad of security agents were waiting in the lobby when Dr. Director arrived with James, Mr. Stoppable, and Wade. Anne had gone down to the science lab to supervise the accumulation of equipment she and Wade were going to need. The Tweebs were assisting her. An understandably shellshocked Mrs. Stoppable and an equally oblivious Hana were taken to a plush reception room where GJ welcomed dignitaries and UN officials.\n\nThe head of the security squad saluted as the group entered the lobby. &quot;Dr.Director, ma\'am. So far, no activity outside the doors. Security cameras were apparently fried when whatever happened out there happened.&quot;\n\n&quot;Has anyone tried going out there?&quot; Director asked. The security chief shook his head.\n\n&quot;Given what we\'ve been dealing with, ma\'am, I\'m not prepared to put any more of my team back into danger.&quot;\n\nDirector smiled. &quot;Smart man. All right, I want security flanking the doors. Med team, be ready for anything. We don\'t know if either of them survived that fall, but we want to be ready if they did. I\'m going to open the door and--&quot;\n\nThe doors burst open and a bruised, bloodied and exhausted Ron Stoppable staggered into the lobby. He was dragging an equally bruised, bloody but, more importantly, unconscious Faye Morgan by her shirt collar behind him. He peered ar the group with his good eye, then dragged Faye into the room and dropped her unceremoniously to the floor.\n\n&quot;Kim\'s alive.&quot; he said simply,  &quot;Now, get this bitch out of my girlfriend.&quot; \n\nWith that, his eyes rolled up in his head and he fell forward. The Global Justice agents swarmed to catch him. The medical team strapped Faye down tightly to a gurney, while the security team did likewise for Ron, although the restraints weren\'t nearly as tight. The group looked at Dr. Director.\n\n&quot;Orders, ma\'am?&quot; said the security chief.\n\nDr. Director looked at Faye briefly, then back up. &quot;You heard the man. Let\'s get this bitch out of his girlfriend.&quot;   \n\n--Erin M.','85d4c9da4e22d28126d83c2d3b8fc114',0,'IA==','20xylbov',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462176,19118,6,94,0,'192.195.66.129',1298110290,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: KP: The Hyde Factor (chapters 8-14 COMPLETE)','&quot;It\'s...impressive, I\'ll say that much.&quot; Dr. Director said as she entered the Subbasement Q science lab. Behind her, the medical team and a squad of GJ security officers wheeled in Faye Morgan, still unconscious. In front of her, however, was something she had never seen before.\n\nUnder the direction of Wade and Anne, with some assistance from Jim and Tim, several different GJ technologies, plus a few gadgets and gizmos confiscated from various supervillains over the years, had been combined into a technological marvel. The central component was a cylindrical chamber about the size of a phone booth, a small viewport was built in at eye level. Inside the chamber was a padded compartment designed for one occupant. A large virtual reality helmet was installed in the top of it.\n\nFrom the cylinder came an array of cables, wires, and other paraphenalia connecting it to a large bank of computers. Those computers were all wirelessly networked to each other and constantly feeding information to the helmet in cylinder. Other cables and wires were connected to two large stun cannons mounted to the ceiling, both trained on the cylinder. More componets were wired together in ways that their use wasn\'t immediately apparent. All in all, the thing was something that Nikola Tesla could have invented for use in some old B-movie.\n\n&quot;Glad you like it.&quot; Anne said, putting down a clipboard. Wade and the Tweebs had manned three of the computer stations on the bank. \n\n&quot;Mind telling me what I\'m looking at?&quot; Dr. Director asked.\n\n&quot;Put her in the cylinder,&quot; Anne told the medical team. &quot;The high grade restraints you use for people like Shego are in there.&quot; She turned to Wade. &quot;Wade, I need to make sure she\'s connected up. Do the explaining will you?&quot;\n\nWade nodded. Anne walked over to the medical team while he got up and went to Dr. Director. Director frowned.\n\n&quot;I really blew it with her, didn\'t I?&quot; she asked.\n\n&quot;I don\'t think you\'re getting a Christmas card this year.&quot; Wade answered. &quot;You don\'t want to know what the Stoppables think of you right now.&quot;\n\n&quot;Probably not,&quot; Director agreed. &quot;So, what exactly is this thing?&quot;\n\n&quot;Basically, it\'s a combination hypnosis generator and modified VR simulator. What we hope to do is induce a hypnotic state in Faye, then use a variant on my W.H.A.T. programs to create a mindscape where Kim and Faye can finally encounter each other. And after that, well, it\'s up to them.&quot;\n\n&quot;W.H.A.T. programs?&quot; Director asked.\n\n&quot;Wade\'s Holographic Artifical Training.&quot; Wade explained, &quot;It\'s a VR training simulator I knocked up for Kim a while back. In this case, all it\'s going to do is flash a series of patterns designed to put her back into hypnosis if she should happen to wake up before we\'re ready.&quot;\n\n&quot;What about monitoring?&quot;\n\n&quot;Dr. Possible has the usual medical alerts: EKG, EEG, cardiograph  and so on. But pretty much, from our perspective, we\'re not going to know what\'s going on in there until it\'s over.&quot;\n\n&quot;Any idea how long this will take?&quot;\n\n&quot;As long as it needs to,&quot; Anne said, bringing the clipboard over. She handed it to Wade. &quot;Medical\'s online. Double check this, will you please, Wade?&quot;\n\n&quot;Sure thing,&quot; Wade took the clipboard and began looking over. Anne looked at Dr. Director.\n\n&quot;How\'s the patient?&quot; she asked. Director looked back towards the cylinder where the medical team was restraining Faye. A GJ technician, under supervision from the Tweebs, was fittign the helmet over her head.\n\n&quot;Still unconscious. I don\'t know what exactly happened between her and Ron, but she hasn\'t moved since he dragged her into the lobby. She mumbles every so often but we can\'t make out what she\'s saying.&quot;\n\n&quot;And you\'re sure Kim is still in there?&quot;\n\n&quot;According to Ron, Morgan let her out just long enough to cause a distraction. I\'d say that\'s a good sign. If she really were completely gone, I don\'t think Morgan would be able to do that.&quot;\n\n&quot;Who knows?&quot; Anne sighed. &quot;There\'s only ever been one case like this before, and sadly, all the people who know anything about it are long gone. Even then, with the modifications...&quot;\n\nDr. Director put her free hand on Anne\'s shoulder. &quot;You raised a strong young woman, Dr. Possible. No matter how beaten down she was, I seriously doubt she\'s gone for good. She\'s a survivor.&quot;\n\n&quot;I hope you\'re right.&quot; Anne turned towards the simulator. &quot;Wade? Are we ready?&quot;\n\n&quot;Just about.&quot; Wade answered. &quot;I asked the other Dr. Possible to track something down for me. It should help us give Kim a little bit of an edge.&quot;\n\nThe elevator chimed and the doors opened. James stepped out, followed by Ron being pushed in a wheelchair by his father.\n\n&quot;Dad, I can walk. You should be with Mom.&quot; Ron was protesting. He had a splint on his nose and bandages were wrapped around his hands and head. His black eye had swollen to the size of a tennis ball.\n\n&quot;Not a chance, Ronald.&quot; Mr. Stoppable said, &quot;You\'re lucky your mother even allowed you down here with me. If she had her way, you\'d still be up in the medical unit.&quot;\n\n&quot;That\'s where he SHOULD be.&quot; Anne said sternly.  &quot;Give me one good reason I shouldn\'t send you right back up there, Ron.&quot;\nRon fixed Anne with a quiet stare. &quot;Because I love your daughter more than anything in the world and we both know she\'d want me here.&quot;\n\nThere was a tense pause, then Anne smirked. &quot;Yeah, that\'s a good reason. But you stay in that chair, understand?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes ma\'am, Mrs. Dr. P, ma\'am!&quot; Ron chirped, firing off a snappy salute. The goofy action relieved some of the tension in the room. Wade turned to James.\n\n&quot;Did you get it?&quot; \n\nJames smiled. &quot;Looks like they hadn\'t bothered to get rid of Kimmie\'s stuff yet. It was right in the top of the box.&quot; He held up the Kimmunicator by one strap. Wade took it from him and began fiddling with the buttons.\n\n&quot;Great!&quot; he said. &quot;Let\'s see here...yes! Got it!&quot; He crossed the room back to the open cylinder and attached the Kimmunicator to Faye\'s wrist. He hit a button and the Kimmunicator began emitting it\'s familiar four-note chime. Wade stepped back and signaled Jim and Tim.\n\n&quot;All set! Close it up!&quot;\n\nA warning alarm sounded and the door to the cylinder arced down and latched into position. A humming sound echoed through the lab as the stun cannons powered up. Wade, Jim and Tim took their positions at the VR computers while the Drs. Possible and two member sof the med team began monitoring the medical feeds. \n\n&quot;What\'s the Kimmunicator for?&quot; Ron asked. &quot;I mean, it\'s not like she\'s going to be able to contact us from inside her own head.&quot;\n\n&quot;I put a message explaining what\'s going on in the Kimmunicator,&quot; Wade explained, not looking up from the monitor. &quot;Once we have confirmation that Faye\'s in the right state, I\'ll trigger the message to play. The alert chime is designed to get Kim\'s attention. Kind of like if you fall asleep with the TV on and what you hear gets incorporated into your dreams.&quot;\n\n&quot;Gotcha.&quot; Ron said. He settled back in the chair. &quot;I guess there\'s not much I can do to help then, huh?&quot;\n\nWade looked up and smiled. &quot;You did your part already, Ron. From here on in, it\'s up to Kim.&quot;\n\nRon nodded and looked up at the cylinder. \n\n&quot;Good luck, KP.&quot;\n\n--\n\n[i:ggzv8f68]beep beep be-beep...beep beep be-beep...beep beep be-beep...[/i:ggzv8f68]\n\nKim frowned and opened her eyes. She sat up, rubbing the back of her head. She was sitting on the ground for some reason. The pink sand was sticking to the back of her arms and...\n\n&quot;Back up a minute. Pink sand?&quot;\n\nKim looked around, perplexed. She was on a beach composed of pink sand. Purple water crashed onto the sand in waves. Above her, the sky was completely black.Nothing but a vast expanse of blackness that touched the horizon on all sides.\n \nSuddenly, a crate marked &quot;Kerpuffin&quot; fell from the sky and crashed right next to her. Kim leaped to her feet as it impacted. The crate burst open and thirty-three mauve and orange ducks wearing hip waders and fedoras scattered in all directions, one of them pausing to hand Kim a bill for delivery before running over the horizon.\n\nKim looked down at the bill, which quacked three times and bit her on the hand.\n\n&quot;OW!&quot; Kim yelped. The bill laughed and vanished over the horizon, following its owner. Kim stared after it.\n\n&quot;Well, that was random.&quot; she said. She brushed the pink sand off her clothes, and did another double take. She was wearing her mission clothes, despite the fact that GJ had taken them from her when she was captured.\n\nAfter taking a few moments to deal with the pack of pervs who showed up with dirty non-Disney approved scenes as that thought passed through her head, she stood in thought. In the the background the O Boyz were chased by an axe weilding Britina. \n\n&quot;Something very very weird is happening here.&quot; Kim said. At that point, the persistently beeping Kimmunicator piped up.\n\n&quot;ANSWER THE BEEP ALREADY! SHEESH!&quot; \n\nKim blinked and hit the button.&quot;Wade? Did GJ drop LSD in my water supply or something?&quot;\n\n&quot;Kim,&quot; came Wade\'s voice from the Kimmunicator. &quot;This is a recording, so don\'t try asking any questions. Ron managed to subdue Faye. During the fight, she let you out just long enough to distract him, which meant we had a chance for this to work. \n\n&quot;We put Faye into a hypnotic state which has allowed you to wake up. But here\'s the thing, so is she. And basically, well, what you\'re seeing around you isn\'t real.&quot;\n\nKim looked around. The ocean had washed the beach away, and she was now standing on the head of a seventeen foot tall statue of Marlon Brando. \n\n&quot;Gee, you could have fooled me,&quot; she muttered. Wade\'s recording continued.\n\n&quot;What we\'ve done is put you into a mental landscape where you and Faye can confront each other. Here\'s the catch though. We can\'t bring you out until one of you is left.&quot;\n\nWade\'s voice sighed. &quot;You\'re going to have to kill her, Kim. Otherwise...&quot; he trailed off. After a few seconds, he spoke again.\n\n&quot;In any event, this message was set to trigger when we got the readings that both of you were mentally active. So be careful, Faye\'s out there somewhere and she\'s probably not happy. Good luck, Kim.&quot;\n\nThe recording ended and the screen went dark. Kim sighed and looked around.\n\n&quot;Okay, so this is all in my mind. Which means I should be able to control what I see. So...&quot;\n\nKim concentrated and the purple ocean crashed in around her, washing the remains of the pink beach, the crate, and the statue of Marlon Brando away. As the water receded into the distance, normal green grass sprung up. After a few moments tress began sprouting and growing until Kim found herself in a vast forest. She looked up through the tress and saw that the sky was still a flat black void.\n\n&quot;Well, you can\'t have everything.&quot; Kim muttered. She began making her way through the forest. As she walked, she became aware of a distant rumbling. She felt vibrations coming from the ground and up through her feet. She began running.\n\nAfter a few minutes she skidded to a halt. The rumbling was getting louder. She could see movement further ahead in the forest. She cursed mentally. The word appeared in front of her and scampered off into the forest. \n\n&quot;Okay, gonna have to watch what I think during all this.&quot; Kim said. The rumbling was now accompanied by a series of crashes. Trees began disappearing from the cluster in front of her and the movement resolved itself into a moving flash of dirty yellow.\n\n&quot;Oh boy,” Kim gulped as the last few trees vanished under the giant treads of a four story tall bulldozer. Up in the cab, Faye Morgan, wearing a hard hat, brought the mammoth machine to bear on Kim.\n\n“So, you woke up!”  Faye’s voice came booming out of a loudspeaker. “Well, I guess I’m just gonna have to kill you all over again! Yay for me!”\n\nKim quickly turned, fired the emergency grapple from the Kimmunicator and swung up into the trees. As she rose, she grabbed her grapple gun from her hip holster, fired, and swung to the next tree. Alternating between the grapples, she made her way through the forest. Behind her, Faye snarled and turned up the speed of the bulldozer, mashing trees mercilessly under the treads.\n\nKim glanced over her shoulder, trying to keep an eye on Faye\'s progress. Faye made eye contact, sneered and pointed ahead of her. Kim quirked an eyebrow, and turned back to look ahead of her. \n\nShe yelped as she ran out of trees and found herself swinging into midair off the edge of a seventy foot cliff. She quickly spun in the air, and fired the Kimmunicator grapple at a limb  of the last tree. She swung back towards the cliff, intending to disengage at the top of the arc and land behind the oncoming bulldozer.\n\nThis plan was abruptly aborted when Faye drove the behemoth over the edge of the cliff. \n\nKim hastily corrected her arc, let go, and began running over the top of the bulldozer as it passed off the edge of the cliff. She leaped into the air as she reached the end of it and began somersaulting towards the ground.\n\n&quot;Oh no, you don\'t!&quot; Faye cried. There was a hiss and Kim felt something wrap around her ankle and tug her backwards. She looked down and stared at the cable around her leg, which was attached to the grapple gun in Faye\'s hand.\n\n&quot;Are you insane?!&quot; Kim yelled as the bulldozer went over the cliff, pulling her with it.\n\n&quot;Damn straiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii...&quot;\n\n--\n\nKim groaned as she rolled onto her back. &quot;Note to self: never ask a crazy person if they\'re insane.&quot;\n\nShe sat up and looked around. Instead of being in the middle of the woods that she had seen spreading out at the bottom of the cliff, she was instead sitting on the marble floor of a cavernous room that looked similar to a cathedral. There was a huge hole in the ceiling, presumably the way she\'d made her entrance. By all logic, the fall should have shattered nearly every bone in her body, if not killed her outright. \n\nThat she was able to get to her feet with no difficulty and a complete absence of pain was another reminder that she wasn\'t dealing with logic. She took a couple of steps, looking around the interior of the cathedral. The stained glass windows had been shattered, the few pews in the room were either broken or overturned. There was no altar. The only sound was of Kim\'s heels as she walked through the room.\n\n&quot;Faye?&quot; she called. &quot;Come out.&quot;\n\nKim froze as a psychotic giggle echoed through the room. She frowned.\n\n&quot;I\'m not kidding, Faye. Come out here. Now!&quot;\n\nThe giggle turned into an evil laugh. Kim stepped back into a fighting stance, then continued moving forward. Then Faye \nbegan to recite:\n\n&quot;Who killed Cock Robin? I, said the Sparrow. With my bow and arrow...&quot;\n\nFaye suddenly appeared from behind a colummn on the far side of the room. She held a large compound bow, a vicious looking arrow with serrated barbs nocked. A quiver of arrows was slung onto her back.\n\n&quot;I killed Cock Robin!&quot; she finished and let the arrow fly. Kim dropped to her knees and bent backward, the arrow barely passing over her chest as it flew across the room and embedded itself into the far wall.\n\nAww, damn.&quot; Faye said in mock disappointment. &quot;That would have been so cool if it had hit you. Oh well.&quot; She reached behind her and pulled three arrows from the quiver and nocked them simultaneously. &quot;Guess we\'ll have to try this!&quot;\n\nThe arrow\'s streaked across the room. Kim leaped into the air as Faye let them fly. She somersaulted througbh the air and came crashing down onto her alter ego , a foot connecting solidly with Faye\'s face. No sooner had Kim impacted than Faye\'s hand shot up and grabbed her ankle, dragging Kim to the floor. The two rolled across the floor, stopping when they hit one of the of the columns supporting the roof.\n\nUnfortunately for Kim, Faye was on top, with an arrow in her hand. Faye\'s satanic grin returned. Kim moved to get up, but Faye grabbed her hair with her free hand and smacked Kim\'s head against the marble floor. Kim\'s eyes crossed and her vision blurred. Faye kept her grip on Kim\'s hair and raised the arrow.\n\n&quot;Now this is more like it!&quot; Faye crowed, &quot;Up close and personal!&quot;  She brought the barbed arrow down, intending to shove it into Kim\'s left eye. just before it connected, Kim\'s hand shot up, grabbed Faye\'s wrist and shoved hrd, forcing Faye to drive the arrow into her own thigh.\n\nFaye screeched in pain and let go of Kim\'s hair, giving the teen hero the opportunity to put up both feet and plant them into Faye\'s chest. She shoved hard, sending Faye across the room and into the far wall. \n\nNot giving Faye time to recover, Kim got to her feet and leaped into the air, folding her legs underneath her and impacting with her knees. Faye uttered a gasp as the air was forced out of her lungs. Kim grabbed the sides of Faye\'s head and slammed it back into the wall behind her.\n\n&quot;You take over my life,&quot; Kim snarled, &quot;you threaten my family, you make Ron chase you all over Paris...&quot; She slammed Faye\'s head into the wall again. \n\n&quot;You cripple Shego, you put Bonnie in the ICU, you get GJ to break their own rules...&quot;\n\nKim grabbed the front of Faye\'s shirt and hauled her up. She glared into the dazed violet eyes.\n\n&quot;Oh, yeah,&quot; she finished, &quot;and you tried to hang me.&quot; Kim spun in place and threw Faye back across the room in the opposite direction. Faye hit the floor on her face and slid to a halt. Kim walked up towards her.\n\n&quot;I\'ve had enough of you, Faye. I\'ve had enough of the violence, of the ego, and of the general bitchiness. And I\'m putting a stop to it, right now. You\'re done.&quot;\n\nFaye didn\'t respond. She didn\'t even move. Kim frowned down at her.\n\n&quot;Did you hear me? You\'re done.&quot;\n\n&quot;I heard you.&quot; Faye\'s voice was muffled by the floor. She looked up and pushed herself up with her hands. &quot;And you\'re wrong.&quot;\nFaye got to her feet. Kim stepped back into a battle stance. Faye tilted her head from side to side, the vertebrae cracking audibly and echoing through the cathedral.\n\n&quot;I\'m not done,&quot; Faye said, walking slowly towards Kim. &quot;I\'m NEVER done. I\'m always there, Kim. I\'m every nasty little thought you ever had, every dark little impulse you ever felt, every evil little feeling you tried to supress.\n\n&quot;You think if you beat me here and take control back for good, I\'m going to go away? Oh sure, I won\'t be able to wreck havoc personally anymore, but I\'ll always be there. Watching from the darkest parts of your mind, urging you on, telling you to take the other way out. You\'ve done it before.&quot;\n\n&quot;I have not!&quot; Kim protested, not letting down her guard. &quot;I would never--&quot;\n\n&quot;Bueno Nacho headquarters. Shego, the storm, and Drakken\'s broadcast tower.&quot; Faye interrupted, irritation in her voice. &quot;That was me. Those kind of thoughts are always me. I may not have had a name, or a voice, or a body, but all of those things are me. DNAmy didn\'t create me, Kim. YOU did.&quot;\n\nKim\'s expression turned to shock. her hands lowered slightly, and she unconsciously began moving backward. &quot;I don\'t think like that.&quot;\n\nFaye laughed. &quot;Everybody thinks like that. It\'s primal. It\'s the lizard we still have in our brain. That\'s where I come from, that\'s where I live. All the formula did was make me strong enough to take on a physical form. That\'s what it did, that\'s why I\'m here--&quot;\n\nSuddenly, Faye\'s hands shot out and grabbed Kim\'s shoulders. Kim gasped as she was pulled off her feet and close to her twisted reflection. Faye\'s face twisted up into a sadistic smile. Kim was amazed she had never noticed how sharp Faye\'s canines were before now.\n\n&quot;And THAT\'S why I\'ll win. You really think you can beat me? You think this cheap mental trick is going to give you the upper hand? Do you even know who you\'re up against?!&quot;\n\nWith an inhuman roar, Faye spun and threw Kim through one of the windows. The remaining stained glass shatters and Kim screamed as she fell a full three stories to the ground outside. She hit hard, the air rushing out of her lungs. She looked back up at the window. Faye stood framed in the shattered glass, grinning. She yelled down at Kim.\n\n&quot;I\'M MR. GOD DAMN HYDE! SHOW A LITTLE RESPECT!&quot;\n\nFaye leaped out the window and dove face first towards the grouns, her fists extended, intending to drive then into Kim\'s ribs. Kim tried to move but the air still hadn\'t returned.\n\nShe was helpless.\n\n---\n\n&quot;She\'s crashing!&quot; one of the medical techs cried out. Anne leaped from her station and went over to the cylinder, intercepting another member of the medical team.\n\n&quot;Don\'t open it!&quot; she ordered. The tech stared at her.\n\n&quot;That\'s your daughter!&quot;\n\n&quot;And if you open it now, the shock may kill her anyway. Flood the cylinder with oxygen, and hit the AEGs!&quot;\n\n&quot;Doing it now!&quot; Jim called from the abandoned medtech station. The lights flickered as the shock paddles built into the cylinder fired, electrically stimulating the heart. The EKG spiked a couple of times then steadied, the beeping becoming regular.\n\nAnne looked at the tech. &quot;Sorry. I know you were just trying to help.&quot;\n\nThe tech nodded and went back to his station. Anne returned to hers. As she did so, james caught her and hugged her tightly. Across the room, Ron wheeled himself over to Wade.\n\n&quot;How\'s she doing?&quot; he asked.\n\n&quot;Not good.&quot; Wade replied. &quot;They have to end this soon.&quot;\n\n&quot;What\'s going on?&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'ve been monitoring their body. Every time one of them gets the upper hand, the body changes to reflect it. It\'s happening almost on a second-to-second basis. The DNA is rapidly wearing out. If one of them doesn\'t win this fight soon...&quot;\n\nRon looked at Wade. &quot;What? What if somebody doesn\'t win?&quot;\n\nWade sighed. &quot;If somebody doesn\'t win soon, the only thing coming out of that cylinder is a dead body.&quot;\n\n---\n\nKim felt pain coursing through her, radiating form her chest where Faye had impacted. She rolled onto her side. She felt like she needed to throw up, to rest, to just close her eyes and let it all go away.\n\nFaye was standing over her, smiling again. \n\n&quot;Time\'s up, Kimmie. Time to step aside and let the new girl take over.&quot; Faye straddled Kim\'s prone form and pulled back a fist, extending her fingers and her claws. &quot;But, I\'ll make it quick. Least I could do, really.&quot;\n\n&quot;Go to hell.&quot; Kim gasped out.\n\n&quot;You first.&quot; Faye replied and thrust her hand forward. \n\nSuddenly, both of them screamed in pain as electricity arced through them. Faye rolled off Kim and collapsed next to her. There were three more jolts and then the two of them were still.\n\nAs the sensation faded, Kim found that the pain she was feeling from the injuries Faye had inflicted had severely diminished. She glanced over to Faye, who was curled up in the fetal position.\n\n&quot;That was real.&quot; Kim whispered to herself. &quot;The electrictiy was real. What we\'re doing to ourselves...that\'s not real.&quot;\nHer eyes widened as the truth hit her. &quot;This is our mind. These aren\'t real bodies. And if the bodies aren\'t real...then neither is the pain!&quot;\n\nKim leaped to her feet and grabbed Faye, hauling her upright. She grinned at her evil counterpart.\n\n&quot;My turn.&quot; She said, before throwing Faye into another section of the graveyard. She quickly followed her, dodging headstones and shrines. \n\nAs she turned a corner, she heard Faye\'s monstrous howl and yelped as Faye struck her from behind. Kim bounced off a shrine, and Faye responded by clotheslining her with her arm.\n\nFaye expression of triumph turned to astonishment as Kim astonishingly spun around her arm, into the air and slammed a foot down into Faye\'s shoulder. Faye snarled and backflipped, trying to catch Kim with her foot. Kim bent backwards and turned it into a back flip of her own.\n\nThe two of them faced off and charged forward. As she got closer, Kim dropped to her knees and slid towards her nemesis. \nKim\'s fist flew up and connected with Faye\'s jaw. Faye responded with a punch to Kim\'s nose. \n\nKim executed a kick towards Faye\'s midsection. Faye took a step back at the last possible second, and caught Kim\'s heel in both hands. She smirked and thrust upward, causing Kim to flip in midair. The smirk was quickly wiped off her face as Kim continued the flip into an impressive 360 degree arc and caught her foot right underneath Faye\'s chin. \n\nFaye flew into the air and crashed into the wall of a mausoleum. Kim landed on her feet and strode across the graveyard towards Faye. Faye groaned and sat up. Both were disheveled and exhausted. Despite the sheer savagery of their battle, there was no blood. \n\n&quot;Time to finish this,&quot; Kim said, quietly. &quot;You know we have to finish this.&quot;\n\nFaye smiled again. &quot;Yeah, we do. You can feel it this time, can\'t you?&quot;\n\nKim nodded. &quot;We\'re dying. The body is changing as each of us gets the advantage, and our DNA is wearing out. We\'re out of time.&quot;\n\n&quot;We\'ve got long enough to settle this.&quot; Faye said, getting to her feet. Kim stepped back,once again taking up a defensive stance.\n\n&quot;I don\'t suppose you\'d be willing to settle this with a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors?&quot; she asked. Faye laughed. Genuine, honest laughter.\n\n&quot;Oh, I wish it were that simple. But, we have one thing more in common than anything else, don\'t we?&quot;\n\n&quot;We both hate losing.&quot;Kim answered. She cracked her knuckles. &quot;All or nothing, then?&quot;\n\n&quot;Sounds good to me.&quot; Faye replied, cracking her neck again. She shook out her arms.\n\nThe two of them took up positions facing each other, muscles tense, eyes unblinking. Faye clenched and unclenched her hands. Kim tossed her hair out of her eyes. \n\n&quot;You ready?&quot; Faye called.\n\n&quot;Ready when you are.&quot; Kim answered.\n\nThere was a brief pause, then, with both of them screaming at the top of their lungs, they charged. \n\n--\n\nThree of the computer stations exploded. The medical readouts went haywire. GJ officers dashed for fire extinguishers. The lights flickered then went out, red emergency lighting kicking on.\n\n&quot;Status report!&quot; Dr. Director called. &quot;What the hell happened?&quot;\n\n&quot;Working on it!&quot; Wade replied. He typed for a few moments, then threw up his hands. &quot;The system\'s frozen. We got nothing.&quot;\n\n&quot;Then there\'s only one way to find out!&quot; Ron said. He got out of the wheelchair and ran to the cylinder. He reached down, grabbed the lip of the lid and heaved. The  lid didn\'t move. Ron took a deep breath, focused, and hauled again. His hands began radiating a blue aura and the lid shifted. Soon the hydraulics caught and the lid opened the rest of the way on it\'s own. \n\nRon pulled off the dead VR helmet and hauled her unconscious form out of the cylinder. The rest of the team gathered around, as Ron sat on the floor, cradling her in his arms. The red lighting made it impossible to determine who had won.\n\n&quot;We need a light over here!&quot; Dr. Director called. The Drs. Possible knelt down next to Ron.\n\n&quot;Kimmie?&quot; James asked. \n\n&quot;Kim?&quot; Anne said, &quot;Come on, Kimmie, wake up.&quot;\n\n&quot;KP!&quot; Ron cried. \n\nThe eyelids fluttered. A tech arrived with a flashlight. Dr. Director turned it on and placed the beam on her face. The hair wasn\'t the blood red of Faye, but not the more traditional redhead tone of Kim, either. The features of the face were soft like Kim\'s, but the face itself was the thin, more angular shape of Faye\'s.\n\nRon grit his teeth in anticipation as she began to blink rapidly. The GJ agents tensed, ready for the worst. Finally, her eyes opened.\n\nHer lush, emerald eyes.\n\n&quot;KIM!&quot; Ron cried. Kim smiled, weakly.\n\n&quot;Miss me?&quot; she asked. \n\nRon answered by kissing her deeply.\n\n--Erin M.','c560b23bc9b7e055479c2dfab4eb3d47',0,'IA==','ggzv8f68',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462177,19118,6,94,0,'192.195.66.129',1298110681,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: KP: The Hyde Factor (chapters 8-14 COMPLETE)','[b:315vhnrz][i:315vhnrz]Three days later...[/i:315vhnrz][/b:315vhnrz]\n\nKim pulled her mission shirt on over her head, and grabbed a hairbrush from the bedside table. She felt better than she had in weeks. Everything seemed brighter, crisper, clearer. Life seemed much more brighter, more vibrant.\n\nShe had spent the last three days in GJs medical unit, getting examined and testing her new form. Much more pleasant than when she had first arrived. The outlook was encouraging. She had gained two inches in height, she now stood eye to eye with Ron. Her muscles were more toned, slightly denser, increasing her strength. While she wasn\'t likely to be able to rip locker doors off with one hand, she could lift quite a bit more than she used to. \n\nHer speed and reflexes were enhanced too. Once again, not the bizarrely superfast speed that Faye could move at, but definitely on an Olympic level. But the best part of all for Kim was her senses.\n\nEverything that came through her senses were sharper, more acute. Sounds were clearer, scents were more acute. She could distinguish between various types of wood just by feeling the grain. Food tasted better. Even things she didn\'t originally like were now more flavorful. But the best thing was her sight. She had always had perfect 20/20 vision, but now, as far as GJ could tell, she had an almost unheard of 20/5 visual acuity. The doctor had described it as having &quot;HDTV in your eyes.&quot; The details and colors were incredible. \n\nAll in all, it looked like Faye had left her with several gifts that could only help her in her world saving activities. Kim liked to think that Faye would have appreciated the irony.\n\nShe had finally been given a clean bill of health, although she was advised to take a couple of weeks off to rest. Her parents had also insisted that she put off starting college until the spring semester. &quot;You deserve a vacation, Kim&quot; were their exact words. They had even offered to pay for her and Ron to take said vacation. She hadn\'t decided where she wanted to go yet. She had other things on her mind.\n\n&quot;Kimberly?&quot; came Dr. Director\'s voice. Kim frowned. [i:315vhnrz]And there\'s one of them[/i:315vhnrz].\n\nKim turned around. Dr. Director was in the doorway, her arm recasted and slinged.  \n\nKim folded her arms. &quot;Dr. Director.&quot;\n\n&quot;I heard you were being released. I thought I\'d stop by to say good-bye.&quot;\n\nKim didn\'t say anything, just quirked an eyebrow. Director sagged.\n\n&quot;All right,&quot; the GJ leader said, &quot;I wanted to say I\'m sorry. For what happened to you, to your family, to Ron, his family, and Wade. I let the job get the better of me.&quot;\n\n&quot;You sold me out.&quot; Kim said.\n\n&quot;I had no--no, you\'re right. I sold you out. And there\'s no excuse for it.&quot;\n\n&quot;Where\'s ICAD One?&quot; Kim asked.\n\n&quot;He bugged out when Faye escaped. But I turned everything over to the UN Secretary General. He\'s dissolved the International Centre for Assurance Development. And ICAD One is out of a job. If he shows his face anywhere in the free world, he\'ll be arrested.&quot;\n\n&quot;Of course, he took great care not to let anyone actually SEE his face.&quot; Kim stated.\n\n&quot;Yes. Kim, I--&quot;\n\n&quot;Do you know what really disappoints me, Betty?&quot; Kim interrupted. &quot;I looked up to you. I was sure you would always do the right thing, regardless of the rules. But as soon as your job was threatened, you caved. You took advantage of that admiration and you suckered me.\n\n&quot;We used to talk about me coming to work for GJ when I got out of college. But all this has made me seriously reconsider.&quot;\n\nKim walked across the room and fixed Dr. Director with a stern gaze.\n\n&quot;I will never, EVER, work for you, Dr. Director. Not if this is what Global Justice is really like. Not if there\'s goons on the payroll like Kemmerer.&quot;\n\nDirector looked up, surprised. &quot;You know about Kemmerer?&quot;\n\n&quot;Please tell me you didn\'t actually think my parents wouldn\'t tell me exactly what happened while I was running around Paris.&quot;\n\nDirector nodded. &quot;I should have expected this. And if I was in your shoes, I\'d probably make the same decision. Good luck, Kimberly.&quot;\n\nKim turned to look back out the window as Dr. Director began to leave. When she heard the door open, Kim decided to let \nthe Global Justice leader off the hook.\n\n&quot;Dr. Director?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes?&quot;\n\nKim looked back over her shoulder. &quot;I won\'t work for you. But that doesn\'t mean I still won\'t work with you from time to time.&quot; \n\nDirector gave a small smile. &quot;Thank you.&quot;\n\n&quot;You\'re welcome.&quot;\n\n--\n\n&quot;Ah, Kim Possible,&quot; said Senor Senior, Sr. &quot;How good of you to join me. May I offer you some lunch?&quot;\n\n&quot;Thank you.&quot; Kim said, pulling out a chair and sitting down. The two of them were sitting in the Atrium, the Upperton Arms\' most expensive restaurant. A waiter arrived with a menu. Kim ordered a small salad and water. The waiter nodded and vanished.\n\n&quot;Where\'s Junior?&quot; Kim asked. \n\n&quot;He is currently visiting Miss Rockwaller. She regained consciousness a few days ago. Junior has been visiting her every day.&quot;\n\n&quot;How--&quot; Kim\'s voice choked up as she fought to ask. &quot;How is she?&quot;\n\n&quot;Surprisingly, much better than she originally appeared.&quot; Senior answered. &quot;While she will have to undergo physical therapy once her bones have mended, there shouldn\'t be any lasting permanent damage. I have also been able to procure the services of some of the finest reconstructive surgeons in the world to aid her.&quot;\n\n&quot;You care that much about her?&quot;\n\n&quot;Not necessarily. But Junior does. And I will gladly do anything to encourage Junior to step out of that narcissistic shell he\'s been in for so long.&quot;\n\nSenior picked up the wineglass that sat next to his plate and swallowed the contents. &quot;Ah. Lovely. Now then, my dear Kim Possible, I presume your visit has something to do with the matter we discussed?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes.&quot; Kim said. She paused as the waiter arrived with her salad. When he\'d gone she leaned forward. &quot;I found the person responsible for what happened to Bonnie.&quot;\n\n&quot;Really? That is excellent news.&quot; Senior said. He pulled a small notebook and pen from his inner jacket pocket. &quot;What is their name and where can they be found?&quot;  \n\n&quot;That won\'t be necessary.&quot; \n\n&quot;Oh? And why is that?&quot;\n\nKim fixed Senior with a solemn stare. The elderly villain quirked an eyebrow.\n\n&quot;Are you telling me that you, Kim Possible, actually took a--&quot;\n\n&quot;I did what had to be done. She was a menace, and she wasn\'t going to come quietly.&quot;\n\n&quot;I see. And you are certain that they will not be...returning?&quot;\n\n&quot;Quite.&quot; Kim replied. &quot;I made sure of that.&quot;\n\nThere was a pause as Senior digested the information, and Kim took a mouthful of salad. After a moment, Senior reached back into his pocket and produced a checkbook.\n\n&quot;Very well. I would say that, given the circumstances, our agreement was reached.&quot; He picked up the pen and scribbled out a check. He ripped it out of the checkbook and handed it to Kim. &quot;I realize you do not charge for services like this, but I think you have rightfully earned this.&quot;\n\nKim took the check and stared at the amount. She looked back up. &quot;I can\'t possibly--&quot;\n\n&quot;You can and you will.&quot; Senior said. &quot;Given Miss Rockwaller\'s condition, I can guess how difficult this particular mission was for you. I\'m also aware there was some sort of altercation with Global Justice during this debacle. I think the amount reflects that.&quot;\n\n&quot;But still--&quot;\n\nSenior held up a hand. &quot;If you do not take the check, I can assure you that the amount will find its way into your bank account in some other manner. My mind is made up on this, Kim Possible. You have truly earned it. Please do not insult me with false modesty.&quot; \n\nKim looked at the check again, then folded it and put it in her pocket. &quot;Thank you.&quot;\n\nSenior smiled warmly at her. &quot;No, no. Thank you. And now, may I tempt you with some dessert? I understand the house specialty is a decadent little confection called Genocide by Chocolate...&quot;\n\n--\n\nShego opened her eyes, saw Kim standing at the foot of her hospital bed, and groaned.\n\n&quot;Oh great, I thought I told them no visitors.&quot;\n\n&quot;Special case,&quot; Kim said, &quot;Part of a new system. I get to taunt you even before you go back to prison now.&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'d rather be waterboarded.&quot; Shego replied. &quot;What the hell do you want?&quot;\n\n&quot;I wanted to see how you were doing. Ron said you were banged up pretty bad.&quot;\n\n&quot;I was. Just about had every damn bone broken. But I heal fast.&quot; Shego gestured at her legs which were still casted and in traction. &quot;If it weren\'t for that, I\'d be kicking your ass around this hospital right now. Tell you what, come back in three days and I\'ll be happy to do just that.&quot;\n\nKim smirked. &quot;Yeah, right. I\'ll put it on my calendar.&quot;\n\nShego looked at Kim. &quot;So, what the hell happened back there? One second you were there and the next...well.&quot; She gestured at the hospital room. \n\nKim shrugged. &quot;You caught me on a bad day. I\'m sorry.&quot;\n\nShego frowned. &quot;A bad day. Right.&quot; She sighed and leaned back. &quot;Not that I really care. Just know that whatever it was, I still owe you for it.&quot;\n\n&quot;I expected that.&quot; Kim said. She grinned evilly. &quot;Anytime you want to bring it, bitch.&quot;\n\nShego blinked. &quot;Okay, THAT was way out of character for you. What the hell\'s been going on, Kimmie?&quot;\n\nKim smiled again, less evilly this time. &quot;Changes. I think you\'ll find our fights a lot more interesting from now on.&quot;\n\n&quot;New tricks?&quot;\n\n&quot;You\'ll see.&quot; Kim went to the door. &quot;Get better soon. I\'m actually kind of looking forward to it. See you around, Shego.&quot;\n\nWith that, Kim left the room. Shego sat up in the bed and frowned in thought. After a minute, she grinned.\n\n&quot;So, Kimmie\'s finally found her edge. Heh. Good for you, kiddo.&quot;\n\n--\n&quot;So, how\'d it go?&quot; Ron asked as Kim got back in the car.\n\n&quot;Pretty good. She\'s almost healed.&quot; Kim answered, fastening her seatbelt and starting the car. \n\n&quot;Well, that\'s good. She\'s evil and all but still--&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah.&quot; \n\n&quot;So, what\'s next?&quot; Ron asked.\n\n&quot;One more stop.&quot; \n\n&quot;Ah.&quot; Ron looked out the window for a few seconds. &quot;KP?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah?&quot;\n\n&quot;You never really, y\'know, told us what happened between you and Faye. I mean, how did you win?&quot;\n\nKim didn\'t answer at first. Then she glanced over at Ron. &quot;I didn\'t exactly win, and Faye didn\'t exactly lose...&quot;\n\n--\n\n[i:315vhnrz]The two of them took up positions facing each other, muscles tense, eyes unblinking. Faye clenched and unclenched her hands. Kim tossed her hair out of her eyes. \n\n&quot;You ready?&quot; Faye called.\n\n&quot;Ready when you are.&quot; Kim answered.\n\nThere was a brief pause, then, with both of them screaming at the top of their lungs, they charged. \n\nFaye leaped into the air and thrust a hand forward, claws extended from her fingers. As she came down, Kim slid to a halt, reached up and yanked the arrow that was still protruding from Faye\'s leg. Faye screeched in pain and lost control of her landing.\n\nKim smiled in triumph but it quickly faded as Faye landed on her. There was a sharp pain in her chest at the same time that she felt something warm and sticky wash over her hand. The two of them crashed to the ground, grunting in pain as they hit.\nKim and Faye looked at each other, then down. Faye\'s claws had sunk deep into Kim\'s chest, while the arrow Kim had retrieved had gone into Faye\'s stomach and out her back. Blood was flowing freely from both wounds. \n\nFaye giggled, blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. &quot;Figures. We can\'t even settle it without killing each other. Looks like we go the way of Dr. Jekyll, huh?&quot;\n\n&quot;We don\'t have to.&quot; Kim said. \n\n&quot;Oh, what, you pull the opposite of what I pulled on you?&quot; Faye snorted, &quot;You convince me to give up? Not a chance, sister.&quot;\n\n&quot;God, you\'re stubborn.&quot; Kim replied.\n\n&quot;So are you.&quot;\n\n&quot;That isn\'t what I was going to suggest.&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh? What then? That we--oh. Oh no. No way.&quot;\n\n&quot;We\'re dying. You can feel it. We\'re only talking now because this is only happening in our head.&quot;\n\n&quot;It still means I cease to exist. That ain\'t happening.&quot;\n\n&quot;You know there\'s no other way. We\'re both dead if we don\'t.  This way, some of you is still there. And I can tell you, I\'m not likely to forget you, ever.&quot;\n\nFaye frowned. She felt her vision starting to darken. The graveyard around them began to dissolve into blackness. She looked back at Kim, who looked like she was about to pass out.\n\n&quot;I still hate it when you try to play fair, you know that?&quot; Faye said.\n\nKim chuckled. &quot;Yeah, I know. But what else can I do when dealing with myself?&quot;\n\nFaye returned the laugh then sighed. &quot;All right...on three?&quot;\n\n&quot;One...&quot;\n\n&quot;Two...&quot;\n\n&quot;THREE!&quot;\n[/i:315vhnrz]\n--\n\n&quot;I\'m still not exactly sure what happened.&quot; Kim said, &quot;Faye just sort of dissolved and flowed into me. And then the next thing I knew, I was lying in your arms.&quot;\n\n&quot;So she\'s still in there?&quot; Ron asked, concerned.\n\n&quot;She was always in there, Ron,&quot; Kim explained. &quot;The formula just let her out. All we did was get rid of the separation. We\'re whole again, and I\'m in charge. Just the way it should be.&quot;\n\n&quot;With a few extras.&quot; Ron said.\n\nKim smiled. &quot;Yeah, with a few extras. But I think they\'ll come in handy.&quot;\n\nRon smiled briefly then brought up the other issue that had been bothering him. &quot;Kim...Faye said something during our fight. Are you really afraid that I\'ll replace you, with the Monkey Power and all?&quot;\n\nKim glanced over at him briefly before turning her attention back to the road.&quot;A little. I mean, Ron, you\'ve got almost godlike power. Who wouldn\'t be intimidated by that?&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, it\'s not going to happen.&quot; Ron said firmly. &quot;You\'re the leader of this team. No matter how much power I\'ve got, that won\'t change. I\'m perfectly happy being your sidekick.&quot;\n\nThey pulled into a parking lot. Kim parked the car, turned it off and turned to face Ron.\n\n&quot;But I\'m not.&quot; she said. &quot;Ron, you\'re so much more than a sidekick. You\'re a wonderful boyfriend, a best friend, and I want you to know that. I don\'t consider you a sidekick anymore. You\'re my partner. And I just hope you won\'t think I\'m holding you back if we keep our partnership going like it has been.&quot;\n\n&quot;Never.&quot; Ron said smiling. He took Kim\'s hand and leaned in and kissed her. &quot;No one could ever replace you, Kim Possible.&quot;\n\nKim blushed. &quot;Thanks.&quot;\n\nRon grinned. &quot;No big. Okay, you want me to go in with you?&quot;\n\n&quot;No,&quot; Kim answered. &quot;I\'ll handle this one myself.&quot;\n\n--\n\n&quot;Well, here\'s a surprise.&quot; DNAmy said as she sat down on the other side of the glass. &quot;I didn\'t expect to see you again, Kim.&quot;\n&quot;Get used to it,&quot; Kim said. &quot;I just came to tell you that it\'s over. Faye\'s gone and she\'s not coming back.&quot;\n\n&quot;Aww, fiddlesticks.&quot; Amy pouted. &quot;And I was looking forward to seeing her again. Oh well, I guess that\'s the way it goes.&quot;\n\nKim blinked. &quot;That\'s it?&quot;\n\nAmy shrugged. &quot;Well, this whole mess wasn\'t really what I was trying to accomplish. I just thought it was fun to witness. Now it\'s over. Oh well.&quot;\n\n&quot;Right. I guess we\'re done here then.&quot; Kim said, getting up.\n\n&quot;Don\'t be a stranger!&quot; Amy said brightly as she was escorted back to her cell. Kim left the prison, feeling oddly dissatisfied.\n\nWhe she got back to the car, she found Ron in video comunication with Lord Utterson. \n\n&quot;Hey, KP! I was just letting Lord Utterson know that we, uh, took care of DNAmy\'s copy of the Jekyll formula.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes, indeed,&quot; Lord Utterson said. &quot;I must commend you on your thoroughness, Miss Possible.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, it was a challenge tracking it down, but we found it and destroyed it. Dr. Jekyll\'s legacy is safely destroyed. You can rest easy, Lord Utterson.&quot; Kim replied.\n\n&quot;Excellent. Are you certain there isn\'t anything I can do to repay you for all your hard work?&quot;\n\n&quot;No charge for this kind of thing, sir.&quot; Kim said.\n\n&quot;Ah, yes, but I still feel you deserve a bonus of some sort. Ah, I know! I have a small villa in the south of France that needs a good airing out. Perhaps you and Mr. Stoppable would like to stay as my guests for a week or two?&quot;\n\n&quot;Really, Lord Utterson,&quot; Kim began, &quot;that\'s really not necessary...&quot; She trailed off and thought for a moment, looking at Ron, and thinking about the enforced vacation her parents were making her take, as well as the check in her pocket. And a few other thoughts passed through her mind. Thoughts that the old Kim Possible would never have entertained.\n\nShe smiled and looked back at the screen. &quot;It\'s not necessary,&quot; she repeated, &quot;but it sounds wonderful. Can we get back to you once we have our plans finalized?&quot;\n\n&quot;Certainly. I\'ll have the staff waiting for your call. Thank you again, Miss Possible. You have done my family a great service.&quot;\n\n&quot;Thank you, Lord Utterson.&quot;\n\nThe connection terminated and Kim started the car. As she drove away, Ron reclined his seat and put his hands behind his head.\n\n&quot;All right, a week in France with no school and no missions. Sounds like paradise.&quot;\n\n&quot;You\'ll certainly think so.&quot;\n\n&quot;Huh?&quot;\n\n&quot;Remember what I said back when we first set up the apartment?&quot; Kim turned her head and grinned evilly at Ron. &quot;It\'s going to be SO worth it.&quot;\n\nRon looked at Kim for a moment, then turned bright red.\n\n--\n\nDNAmy sighed as she was shown back to her cell. She looked at the shelf of Cuddlebuddies that was mounted on one wall.\n\n&quot;Well, it looks like Kim Possible won...again.&quot; she said, taking the Gold-Class Ferrockatoo off the shelf. &quot;She\'s such a little hussy. So stuck up and superior.&quot;\n\nShe sat down and stroked the stuffed toy. &quot;But, Faye warned us about this, didn\'t she? Good thing she had a back up plan.&quot;\n\nAmy reached down and parted the broken seam in the back of the Cuddlebuddy. She withdrew a small glass tube. It was filled with a dark red liquid. A label on the tube read &quot;SAMPLE: MORGAN, FAYE.&quot; She held it up briefly to the light in her window and smiled.\n\n&quot;Well, let her enjoy it for now. She\'ll get what\'s coming to her eventually...&quot;\n\n[b:315vhnrz]THE END\n[/b:315vhnrz]\n\n--Erin M.','5e66c31611f84eff00794bd42fccbe01',0,'YA==','315vhnrz',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462178,31990,6,1107,0,'151.203.194.57',1298110950,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Questions Asked, Questions Answered, and Pizza with Jane','Oh, HELL YEAH!','1921a31ecb1940dfcf990b08645cca12',0,'','3eeo3bt7',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462179,31946,3,525,0,'70.106.236.237',1298111586,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: One of the truly great innovations of our time.','[quote=&quot;The Sidhe&quot;:1zk8h0j0][quote=&quot;johndotcalm&quot;:1zk8h0j0][url=http&#58;//www&#46;google&#46;com/imgres?imgurl=http&#58;//untiedmag&#46;files&#46;wordpress&#46;com/2009/05/chocobacon&#46;jpg&amp;imgrefurl=https&#58;//untiedmag&#46;wordpress&#46;com/2009/05/29/chocolate-covered-bacon-the-breakfast-of-champions/&amp;usg=__68WNjbO_daG6zgZgzEXzpMLOxI4=&amp;h=375&amp;w=500&amp;sz=71&amp;hl=en&amp;start=0&amp;zoom=1&amp;tbnid=wL9AANYfEbdGFM&#58;&amp;tbnh=121&amp;tbnw=165&amp;ei=drtdTZyVCMSBtgfv8IXSCw&amp;prev=/images%3Fq%3Dchocolate%2Bcovered%2Bbacon%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26sa%3DX%26rls%3Dorg&#46;mozilla&#58;en-US&#58;official%26biw%3D1440%26bih%3D716%26tbs%3Disch&#58;1&amp;um=1&amp;itbs=1&amp;iact=hc&amp;vpx=1010&amp;vpy=123&amp;dur=5221&amp;hovh=194&amp;hovw=259&amp;tx=99&amp;ty=215&amp;oei=drtdTZyVCMSBtgfv8IXSCw&amp;page=1&amp;ndsp=28&amp;ved=1t&#58;429,r&#58;5,s&#58;0:1zk8h0j0]Chocolate covered bacon[/url:1zk8h0j0][/quote:1zk8h0j0]\n\nThat is just BEYOND wrong.[/quote:1zk8h0j0]\n\nSeriously!

Let me explain them briefly: there\'s a point at which I don\'t believe a foetus should be aborted, but I\'m not at all sure where that point is. I can say with confidence that I have no problem with aborting it at the unicellular level, or even a significant way beyond that. I can say that I have a major problem with aborting it in, say, the last month. But where is the point of no return? I really don\'t know, so I\'m very interested to know what other people think.[/quote:892fp6ll]\n\nI think that the US Supreme Court made a good decision based on the science.  In my previous post, I provided information on the high natural miscarriage rate in the first trimester.  At the same time, developmental state is such that the fetus is unviable outsite of the uterus.  While the potential is there, it is not yet a person.  That comes with the development of the brain later in pregnancy and the ability to survive outside of the mother.  At that point, the greater restrictions on abortion that are in place become valid.  Not discounting the loss felt by those who lost a wanted pregnancy, during the first trimester, we do not treat these cases as human deaths.  There are no official inquiries, no funerals, and no death certificates.  Many are not even noticed, or interpreted as a menstral period that started late.\n\nFinally, the decision should be a [i:892fp6ll][b:892fp6ll]choice[/b:892fp6ll][/i:892fp6ll] made by the mother in consultation with those persons that she wishes to use.

Hey, quick question.&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Shoot.&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;If Robert and Ted are such nice guys, how come I\'ve never seen their girlfriends?&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Maybe they\'re just not wrestling fans. Why\'d you ask?&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;No reason. Just curious.&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](As Robert and Ted get into the ring, their theme fades out and [url=http&#58;//www&#46;youtube&#46;com/watch?v=aA84lcLxCi0:3r0cosep]&quot;Man Research (Clapper)&quot; by Gorillaz[/url:3r0cosep] begins to play.

CARTER!!!&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](Josh makes his way onto the entrance stage and points out to the massive crowd.

HARRIS!!!&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](Dawn makes her way onto the entrance stage and raises her arms to the crowd. She is wearing a white singlet over grey jeans, as well as her signature headphones)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Last time we saw Dawn Harris on PPV, she was a near unstoppable force in the Lawndale Rumble. What\'s to say that won\'t be the case here now?&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Simple. She is the biggest and strongest woman on the roster, to the point where she can believably compete with men. Well, I don\'t think she\'ll be competing with them. I think she will be destroying them.&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](As Dawn gets into the ring, she hands her headphones and iPod to a referee as her theme fades out. The bell rings, signifying the beginning of the match)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;And we are underway in the opening contest of Is It \'Mania Yet?!&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](The ten participants all stare up at the hanging contract, waiting for someone to make their move and go for a ladder. The first to do so is Corey, who is promptly followed outside by everyone else)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Bateman is first to grab a ladder, but here comes Josh from behind with the skateboard!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Ow! Right in the back of the head!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Da Nice Guyz take him down from behind...&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;As they do.&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;...Parker and Crawford are fighting off Rollins... whew... so much action already, Janet!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;This match is going to be very hard to follow with so many bodies flying in and around the ring all at once. That\'s why we have all our referees out here to keep things under some semblance of control.&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](Bob rests a ladder on the barricade and the ring, and picks up Corey)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Rollins is going to try and put Bateman out of this match right now with a suplex on the ladder! Up he goes...&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;He\'s countering! Blow after blow with the knees!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Bateman falls back down and hits Rollins with his own suplex on the floor! Great counter by Bateman!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Forget that, just look at Dawn fighting off Anarchy In The MD! And with such feminine ease, too!&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](Dawn throws Spike into the barricade, and then throws Dave into the steel steps, before picking up a ladder and putting it in the ring. She gets into the ring herself and sets up the ladder. The crowd starts to chant &quot;DAWN\'S GONNA KILL YOU&quot;)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Harris is going to be the first to try and climb for the contract!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;That must be one strong ladder, because Harris is a big girl.&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Wait, here comes Crawford climbing up on the other side, and hits Harris with a right hand!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Didn\'t faze her at all! She just pushed him right back down to the canvas!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Bateman is going to try his luck too.&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Bang! A left hand from Dawn and down he goes like a sack of potatoes!&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](As she reaches for the contract, the other six participants rush the ladder and tip it over, causing Dawn to hit the ropes chest-first and fall to the canvas. After throwing out Guy, the remaining fighters square off. Robert and Ted fight Josh, while Spike and Dave fight The Head)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Spike and Dave are setting up Ed for Apunkalypse Now!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;And that fallen ladder is still in the middle of the ring!&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](Spike and Dave lift up The Head for a suplex, but then drop him back down flat his face, which hits the ladder. The crowd groans upon impact)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Dear mercy that is surely a broken nose at the least for Parker!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;That won\'t help his self-esteem, and that\'s low enough already.&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](Spike and Dave turn around and get hit with a second ladder, held by Josh)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;And now it\'s Rose and Hudson\'s turn to taste the metal, courtesy of Josh Carter!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;They\'re punks. They won\'t notice another bit of metal in their faces.&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](He tries to do the same to Robert and Ted, but they duck and dropkick the ladder, making it hit Josh in the face and knocking him to the ground)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Didn\'t work that time, did it Josh?&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Da Nice Guyz are the only ones standing right now, and DeWitt-Clinton is helping Korleski clear the ring.&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Now I don\'t see why they don\'t keep that other ladder in there. With such skinny rungs on them, they need all the ladder they can get.&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Well they\'re both climbing the one ladder they kept in. Things will be interesting once they reach the top.&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Indeed they will, because they can\'t both win!&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](Robert and Ted nearly reach the top of the ladder, but Bob comes back in, leading to both of them jumping off and attacking him)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Da Nice Guyz are one of the most fluid tag teams in all of the Lawndale Fighting Championship. Just look at the way they are working over Rollins here.&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;I\'m sure there is more to their alliance than just tag team chemistry, skinny.&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Well, they train together, they live together, they do basically everything together. They\'re almost like brothers.&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;If they lived in say... Massachusetts or Vermont they\'d be more than brothers. Anyway, we need to start calling the match again!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;All right... DeWitt-Clinton and Korleski with the whip to Rollins... he ducks and hits them both with a huge clothesline!&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](With everyone else down, Bob starts to climb the ladder. He reaches the second top rung and reaches up, but stops. The crowd starts to chant &quot;HEY HO LET\'S GO&quot;)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Look at his eyes. He\'s not going to, is he? Not from the top of the ladder?&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Bob is a madman, with no regard for his body or anyone else\'s. Of course he is!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Not a Blitzkrieg Bop off the top of the ladder!?&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](Bob rips off his singlet, before he jumps off the ladder and hits Ted and Robert with a huge flying leg drop. It hurts him almost as much as it hurt them. The crowd, after a huge cheer, start a &quot;HOLY SHIT&quot; chant)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;The crowd pretty much says it all right there.&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;All our fighters are down! Who will get up first to try and grab the metaphorical brass ring?&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](Guy is the first person up. He gingerly climbs the ladder and tries to reach the contract)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;You know if you listen closely, you can hear Guy\'s bones rattle as he climbs...&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Sorry to interrupt but Crawford only has one more step and he\'s got it!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;But here\'s Corey Bateman to stop him... Timothy?&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Yes?&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Don\'t interrupt me again!&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](Corey climbs up the other side of the ladder, leading them to start trading punches at the very top of it)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;This is so dangerous! Once false move could end a career just like that.&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Guy\'s getting the upper hand on Corey? Who knew that the bony little pipsqueak had it in him?&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Bateman rakes the eyes and Crawford is hunched over on the ladder!&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](Suddenly, Corey jumps off the ladder over Guy, grabs him by the waist and powerbombs him to the canvas. The crowd cheers)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;What a sunset flip powerbomb by Corey! Maybe he\'s not so damn boring after all.&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;I\'d say Crawford is done here. That was a sick manoeuvre by Bateman.&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;But now he\'s got to regroup and try and back up there. We have no idea as to how much that move took out of him.&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](Corey slowly gets up and starts climbing the ladder. He almost makes it to the top when The Head gets back in the ring. There is a small trail of blood under his nose)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Here comes Mr. Charisma himself Ed Parker to save the day.&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Parker is just starting out his career, so it would be an unbelievable shot in the arm if he were able to win this Stairway To Heaven Ladder match.&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;He\'s climbing the ladder, but will he make it to Corey in time?&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](The Head punches Corey in the stomach as he reaches up for the contract. They trade blows until, out of nowhere, The Head hits a high kick, knocking Corey to the ground)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Where the hell did THAT come from?&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;What flexibility and creativity by Parker! That could be the defining moment of this match!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;He\'s almost there!&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](Just as The Head reaches the top rung of the ladder, Dawn gets back into the ring. She kicks the hinge out of one side of the ladder, causing it to buckle and collapse. The Head falls and hits the ladder face first again, causing the crowd to groan)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Now that\'s what I call creativity! Great work there by Dawn!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Just look at the blood on Parker\'s face! If his nose wasn\'t broken before, it surely is now.&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;He might have to borrow a facemask from Brooke Watkins next time he has a match.&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](Dawn goes to the outside and gets a bigger ladder, the third used in the match. As she is about to put it in the ring, she is attacked by Spike and Dave)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Damn punks ambushing Dawn like that. Do they have no respect for anyone?&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Clearly they don\'t... look at Rollins on the top rope!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;He doesn\'t have a lot of high-flying moves in his regular arsenal, when he does go upstairs it is usually pretty effective.&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](Bob jumps off the top rope to the outside, hitting Dawn, Corey, Spike and Dave with a flying splash. Robert and Ted now get back in the ring)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Korleski and DeWitt-Clinton are in the ring all alone here.&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Why aren\'t they getting a ladder? Oh... wait a minute...&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Here comes Da Nice Guyz off the ropes... and to the outside with dual suicide dives to the other participants!&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](At this point, all but Guy and The Head are down near the entrance ramp. Unknown to them, Josh has climbed a ladder in the middle of it)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Rose, Hudson, Bateman, Harris, Rollins, Korleski and DeWitt-Clinton are all slowly getting to their fe... is that... what is Josh Carter doing up there?&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;You can\'t reach the contract from there! It\'s supposed to be set up in the middle of the ring!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Oh goodness me, this could be career suicide! Surely not from there? That\'s 15 feet off the ground!&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](Josh jumps off the ladder onto the mass of bodies, knocking them all down. The crowd cheers, and then start chanting &quot;HOLY SHIT&quot; again)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;It was like he was in the air for an eternity! Unbelievable risk-taking there by Josh!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Just look at the scene, bits of ladder and bodies everywhere. We told you this match would be chaotic, but it has exceeded all expectations!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Dawn\'s going to be the first one up! After all that, she\'s just going to walk it off and get back up there!&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](Dawn picks up the big ladder and throws it into the ring. She sets it up underneath the hanging contract and starts to climb up)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Dawn is nearly there! She\'s going to win this Stairway To Heaven Ladder match and beat nine men in doing it! Go! Go!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Dawn Harris, a student of the great super-heavyweight Iris Johanssen, is a bonafide star of the future, Janet, and if she wins this match there is no limit as to how far she will go.&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;I have been saying that since her first match in the LFC. Now she just needs to reach up and grab that contract!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;And here comes Spike Rose and Dave Hudson to stop her in her tracks.&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Great, it\'s those damn punks again. They\'ve been on her case the whole match.&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Bateman is there too... wait what are they doing?&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Good God they\'re lifting up the ladder! They\'re going to kill her!&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](Spike, Dave and Corey lift up the ladder and tip it over, sending Dawn flying over the top rope and through the ladder set up by Bob earlier. The crowd groans, then cheers, then start the third &quot;HOLY SHIT&quot; chant of the match)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;HARRIS HAS BROKEN THAT LADDER IN HALF!!! She is now part of a twisted pile of flesh and steel sitting at ringside!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;That\'s a goddamn 15 to 20 foot fall, dammit! You know what, that\'s it. Li has gone too far this time by allowing her to participate in this match! Dawn, as talented as she is, is not made for such a barbaric environment, and now her career may be over before it truly blossoms thanks to the sadistic actions of Anarchy In The MD and Corey Bateman!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Indeed they were sadistic...&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Get back to the match, skinny!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;All right... er... Bateman is trying to set up the ladder again, but Rose and Hudson are bringing in two of their own!&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](Spike and Dave sandwich Corey underneath the big ladder by pushing their ladders through the rungs of the big one using them like a vice. The crowd start to chant &quot;YOU SUCK&quot;)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;These two aren\'t going to be satisfied until they kill someone in the ring!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;These anarchists from an undisclosed location are sick and twisted, but manage to innovate and excite every time they step inside those ropes.&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Oh God, they\'re climbing the ladder. Please don\'t let one of these assholes win...&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](As Spike and Dave start to climb up, a hooded figure jumps the barrier and pulls the ladder out from underneath Dave. He falls to the ground, landing hard on his fallen ladder)[/i:3r0cosep]\n\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Wait a minute! Who is that?&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]Barch:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;I don\'t know, but Dave is out cold on the canvas! And now our mystery man is going up the ladder to get Spike!&quot;\n[b:3r0cosep]O\'Neill:[/b:3r0cosep] &quot;Bateman is still groggy underneath the ladder! This match has certainly taken yet another twist.&quot;\n\n[i:3r0cosep](Just as Spike reaches for the contract, the hooded stranger hits him with a heavy punch, dazing him.

There are few writers who can galvanize the SRMB so thoroughly, for most of us have long debated the best and worst that Daria amateur fiction has to offer. It takes a grand act to gain the attention of us jaded Jugaloos...a grand act of brilliance, or one of stupidity.\nLike it or not, there is one name on all our lips. It does not end in “Moore”, “Wild”, “Bunny”, or even “Brit”. It is one word, like Madonna, or Cher, or Thomas. One word which gets anybody’s attention.\n\nRONIN.\n\nUntil you have experienced the sheer draw jopping glory of Ronin, you have truly not experienced a mental mind-fuck. A person cannot be introduced to Ronin’s body of work; one can only be made aware of it, in the same way that one walking through a nuclear wasteland should be made aware of a good Geiger counter or lead underwear. Indeed, one must be prepared for it, one must train for it in the same way that Rocky Balboa trained for Apollo Creed, Clubber Lang, Ivan Drago and that other guy in the movie that no one saw. One must do hours of legwork, catch greased chickens, race on sandy beaches, bench-press logs in Siberia before one builds the sheer intestinal fortitude to step into the ring with a Ronin work.\n\nFor these works are not good, my friends. They are a new level of bad, beyond the bad that I have railed against, beyond even the bad that the Flack-Jackets established. This is a new level of bad. This is RONIN bad, a bad so horrible that light and logic escape a story in a reverse black hole, but the story collapses under the weight of its own ridiculousness and threatens to suck in your hope with it – the hope that Daria amateur fiction writers have some property gained by mere contact with the series, some property that will sooner or later make them competent writers.\n\nIf you are not prepared, you will give up all hope entirely. Because you are then forced to ask yourself : how many Ronins are there out there, chewing on a pencil and threatening to put their latest thoughtcrime on the web? If Ronin is the best that we can do, shouldn’t we just close up shop, or move to Lawndale After Dark? Should we torch our Daria videotape collections, burn our books, give up pay cable to make sure that something like Ronin never happens again? Do we need a petition? Oh! Alan Benard, Peter Guerin...where are you now that the Daria “community” needs you more than ever?\n\nPicking a “work” of Ronin to review is not an easy task, since even a hearty reviewer must fortify himself with bourbon before diving in to the septic tank of Ronin fiction. Indeed, after reading “Lawndale Marmelade”, I knew that I had run through the gauntlet, that my iron will was strong, that I was tempered by the experience, that I had emerged a sadder, but wiser man. Although disheartened by my adventures in Ronin’s mind, I was fortified by the thought that I would never have to go there again. All I can say is that NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY KURTZ IN “HEART OF DARKNESS” BEHAVED AS HE DID!\n\n“Exterminate all the brutes!”, indeed. Conrad was a pussy! He never read “Lawndale Marmelade”!\n\nWe are warned in the summary statement that this is Ronin’s first songfic. Well, Poland was Hitler’s first country, but they never forgave Hitler for it.\n\nSongfic is inherently bad enough. In the entire history of Daria amateur fan fiction, no songfic has EVER been worth reading. Trying to hammer a Daria narrative around some piece of pop effluvia is like trying to shove a square peg in a round hole. It can be done, but neither peg nor hole will thank you for it.\n\nThe story, in small detoxified bites: Quinn discusses her dream with the Fashion Club, while Daria and Jane overhear from a booth at the pizza king. Quinn imagines that the Fashion Club has taken to performing the song “Lady Marmelade” at the Zon, while dressed in hootchie wear, not unlike the video by whomever. Mr. Ronin goes into some detail as to WHAT sexy garments each member of the Fashion Club is wearing in Quinn’s fantasy, which makes you wonder if it should have been submitted to Mistress Thea or Mistress Daria.\n\nUnfortunately, like any other Fashion Club enterprise, much is promised but little is delivered. The Fashioneers deliver a straightforward, non-sexual rendition of “Lady Marmelade” to the cheers of the Zon crowd. I’m sure the Zon crowd didn’t hear a goddamn word of what they were saying. If the Fashion Club came onto a stage dressed like Mr. Ronin imagines, I would have applauded during a reading of the Wilmot Proviso.\n\nDaria and Jane, overhearing, leap over the booth and yank Quinn’s tongue out of her body. They immediately strangle the Fashion Club to death with Quinn’s bloody (but fashionable) tongue. And then – oh, I’m sorry. That’s how I WISH the story had ended. My alternate ending violates everything good and decent, but wait until you hear how Ronin ends it.\n\nIn the Roninverse, Daria and Jane discuss, in JEST I hope, how they could give the Fashion Club a run for their money by doing the same thing. For is it not the dream of every young teenage girl who watches “Daria” to secretly put on Britney wear and shake your gitchy gitchy ya yas for a crowd of drunken bar patrons?\n\nThis is the kind of story where you have to wash your hands after reading it. There is no plot. The Fashion Club appear to be in 100 percent approval of Quinn’s dream. Not only to Daria and Jane not dismiss the dream out of hand, but Jane says, “boy, I wish Tom had that dream about you, me, Brittany and Jodie all dressed in slutwear for juniors”.\n\nYou can now pick your jaws up off the floor. You have experienced a Ronin tale. Hey, even second hand, these things are radioactive. By now, I’m sure you’re tempted to read the tale yourself for a review, but let me tell you, do not go into that dark night. You don’t know what’s ahead of you. You don’t know what dangers you face there. You’re just not ready. But I know deep in my heart of hearts that I can stop you. All I can do is pray for you.\n\nHow do I sum up Ronin’s skill as a writer? TLAS is starting to look mighty damned good to me right now.... “Lawndale Marmalade” should not be read in a lit room. Keep contents away from sunlight.

On their way to Cashmans, Stacy gave Quinn pointers on what to say to the manager, Kelli, during her interview.  They also talked about the invites they recieved to the Kappa Kappa Gamma pre-rush party that was happening on Friday.  When they entered the mall, Stacy wished Quinn good luck as she headed over to Fiction Addiction to talk to Monique.  Aided by Stacy\'s advice, Quinn seemed relaxed and confident during her meeting with Kelli.  An hour later, Quinn left the store, feeling as though she had a good chance of getting a job.  Kelli told her that she would know either way by Wednesday.  Quinn headed towards the bookstore and found Stacy sitting on a couch engrossed in a book about the fall of the Roman Empire.  Stacy had no clue that Quinn had entered the shop until she heard a tiny chuckle beside her.\n\n&quot;You know, Stacy - you really should consider becoming a History Teacher.  The only other person I have ever seen get that wrapped up in a book is Daria.&quot;\n\nStacy looked up at Quinn and smiled.  &quot;You know, I think you\'re right.  History class was always one of my favorites.  I just wish I had concentrated more on classwork when I was in high school instead of being stuck up Sandi\'s ass in the Fashion Club.&quot;\n\nQuinn looked at her quizingly for a moment.  &quot;I\'m afraid to ask - what is/was the Fashion Club?&quot;\n\n&quot;It was a club at Lawndale High that Sandi started.  We would spend all of our time talking about clothes or picking on the outfits other students wore.  Halfway through my junior year, I realized that if I wanted to go to college, my grades would have to improve.  Unfortunately for Sandi and the others, they didn\'t change.  Right before the end of our junior year, our principal made us disband the Fashion Club because of our grades.  In order to have a club at Lawndale High, three-quarters of its members have to maintain at least a 2.0.  I was the only one of us four at the time that met that standard.  Brooke wised up and got a tutor that summer.  She and I graduated - Sandi and Tiffany didn\'t. I still tried to be friends with them, but when Sandi started getting all high and mighty at the mall last week, well that was the last straw.  Looking back, I can\'t believe I let myself be pushed around for as long as I did.&quot;  A look of sadness fell over Stacy\'s face.\n\nQuinn put her hand on Stacy\'s shoulder and gave it a little squeeze.  &quot;Well then, just consider me an upgrade on the friend meter,&quot;  Quinn said as she looked at her watch.  &quot;I have an interview at the pet store in ten minutes, I better head that way.&quot;\n\n&quot;Just come back here when you\'re done.&quot;  Stacy reopened the book and started reading.\n\nDaria roamed the campus while waiting for Jane\'s track meeting to end.  As she entered the sports complex, she heard the sound of metal hitting metal and a coach yelling at the two combatants.  Walking towards the sounds, Daria heard Jane\'s voice from behind her.\n\n&quot;You ready to go?&quot;\n\nDaria looked at her friend and hesitated, &quot;Can you give me a couple of minutes?&quot;\n\nJane nodded and followed her to where the fencing team was practicing.  They stood and watched the match that was in progress.  Jane had no clue what was going on, so Daria began explaining to her the rules and some of the moves.  The assistant coach overheard the conversation and whispered in the head coaches ear.  As Daria and Jane turned around to leave, the coach stopped them and signaled for them.\n\n&quot;Coach Adams heard you talking - have you fenced before?&quot; The coach asked.\n\n&quot;I was on the fencing team at Kilgore College last year,&quot;\n\n&quot;What was your record?&quot;\n\n&quot;I was 15-7.

Super Science, magic, and metahumans were almost exclusively something that existed only in comic books.  To go for that effect, I\'m intentionally drawing support characters from sitcoms and dramas set in basically realistic settings, like the canon Dariaverse.  And seeing as I needed a techno-wizard, I thought about it, and Steve Urkel is pretty much a mad-scientist class intellect in a universe that otherwise is completely normal.  At least in this setting, a version of him allowed to move beyond his own caricature seemed an excellent choice. And hey, comic relief!  (And implication that Daria has matured enough she can stand to be around Urkel without throttling him.)  Don\'t be surprised if you see a few more &quot;normal&quot; sitcom/drama characters getting referenced here and there.\n\nDon\'t worry though: there shall be no Adam West!Batman-style players here.  You may have noticed I\'m going for a bit of a gritty, darker take here.

Enjoy.\n\n[b:j8uucigm]A Friend[/b:j8uucigm]\n\nUniverse D-???\n\nJust as requested, the pub Judith “rented” out for tonight was empty, save for one lone individual.\n\n“I must say that I’m quite glad that you could make it this evening,” said Judith to the woman who appeared to be in her early thirties. \n\n“Whatever,” responded the other woman. “It’s not like I was doing anything better tonight anyway. Now could you tell me what you actually want?”\n\n“My, my, my, aren’t we in a hurry? Well, don’t worry friend, because I have a special offer for you.”\n\n“Which is what again?”\n\n“In a minute. First, I would like to talk to you about your ‘history.’ If what my sources tell me is correct, which they always are, you’ve kept yourself quite busy these last fifteen years. Gang activities, narcotics, human trafficking, murder, massive acts of chaos, and yet you’ve managed to escape the proper authorities for all of these years.”\n\n“So what of it? It’s not like any of that was incredibly special.”\n\n“In the grand scheme of things, no, the crimes themselves weren’t that special. What was special, however, was the style. I consider myself an artist with what I do, and I always like having style when ‘completing’ my art, and you my friend, have style. You have grace! You have flair! I would love for you to join in my greatest masterpiece – the destruction of all of creation.”\n\n“Excuse me?” said the other woman without a hint of surprise.\n\n“You know - the omniverse - all the universes that ever were, and ever will be. I could upgrade you. Make you faster, stronger, and smarter. With my power, you could wipe out entire universes with your own unique style. So what do you say? Would you like to become a god, and unleash your wraith upon existence?”\n\n“Perhaps, but could you at least show some proof of your supposed godhood?”\n\n“Gladly,” said Judith with a smirk. In a flash, Judith and the older woman were floating high above the great city lights below. The older woman still showed no hint of surprise. \n\n“Now watch,” said Judith.  In the palm of Judith’s hand, a small black orb had grown, and without hesitation, she let the orb fall down into the city below. Not long after, a large fire had started in the center of town, and quickly transformed in a swirling vortex of hellfire that would consume the entire metropolitan area.  Within minutes, the fire had burnt out, and left a scorched piece of earth that millions once called home.

The fact that the flames were green and black didn\'t made it better; it was making the situation worse.\n\nHe had run home like a pack of rabid Rottweilers with flaming chainsaws in their mouths were hot on his heels. His legs were burning and his muscles were protesting under the unusual strain they were not used to, but he ignored it, forced himself to keep the speed up with sheer willpower and adrenalin. Arriving home he slammed the front door shut behind him and ran up to his room, closing and locking the door with three locks.\n\nAnd just after he checked the locks twice and stored the money with shaking hands in the box hidden under his closet, he allowed himself to relax, at least a bit. He paced through his room, chewed on his lower lip and mumbled to himself, cigarette in hand but not able to lit it. His head was spinning and his thoughts were racing through it with the speed of a squirrel with ADHS after it drank two thermoses full of coffee.\n\nFinally he threw himself against his door and just slumped down. Sinking down to the ground, his back against the door, he tried to calm down. [i:3ao6qr7x]Christ... oh my god... oh my god... oh my god... oh my god... I\'m a freak.[/i:3ao6qr7x]\n\n“I\'m a freak...” he whispered. Careful, as if it could attack him, he looked at his right hand and studied it. It looked like always, just like he remembered it to be. There were no burn marks like he expected, no scars, no magic symbols or even something out of the ordinary, it was just his hand, the one he used to hold his toothbrush with, hold his beer and hold his fork. Just his hand.\n\nHe had no idea if he should be relieved or worried about that. It would have given him something to see, something he could perhaps understand.\n\n“I\'m a freak...” he whispered again, his hand now shaking. “Oh my fucking god...”\n\n“Tetetetetetetetetetetetete.”\n\n“Ackackackackackackackackack.”\n\nHe rolled his eyes and turned his head to the side so he could see the two Imps, sitting again on his shelf filled with his action figures, in high spirits as always. The haired one sat on Battle-Cat like he was riding him, while the other one used the Batmobile as some sort of couch. Shaggy thought about screaming at them, cursing them, but then his shoulders just slumped and he let his head sink.\n\n“Dammit. Dammit,” he spoke under his breath and sniffed. He felt tired, not physically but mentally, like some mythological beast had come out of the Nether-Realm and sat down on his soul. [i:3ao6qr7x]Dammit. Now I even use the word Nether-Realm.[/i:3ao6qr7x]\n\n“DAMMIT!!”\n\n“Ackackackackackackackackack.”\n\n“Tetetetetetetetetetetetetete.”\n\n“Oh, shut up...” the only human in the room mumbled weakly. “I\'m a freak... god...”\n\nHe could not see it but the two Imps rolled their eyes and seemed to sigh, before the slightly smaller one said: “No freak-freak. Boss Imp. Tetetete.”\n\n“Imp, Imp, ackackackackackack.”\n\nAgain he thought about screaming at them or throwing something at them, something other than dirty looks, but decided against it. They were just not worth it, stupid as they were. They giggled and were amusing themselves with groping She-Ra and April O\'Neil. Shaggy rolled his eyes. [i:3ao6qr7x]Well, at least they have taste.[/i:3ao6qr7x]\n\nFinally he lit himself a cigarette, at least he tried. Because when he was about to use his lighter he stopped. For a moment he hesitated, then he sighed. “Oh, who cares anyway,” he mumbled and threw the lighter to the side.\n\nInstead he examined his right hand again, studying it as if it were about to go up in flames any second, a thought that did occur to him. With a shaking hand he touched the tip of his cigarette. And waited. And waited. Nothing happened.\n\nThe two Imps were now laughing openly at him, so he rolled with the eyes again and just grabbed another lighter to lit his smoke. Only that the flames that it produced was of a poisonous green color.\n\n“... wow.”\n\n“Boss saad boobies, ackackackackackack!”\n\n“No he not, tetetetetetetetete! You saad boobies, tetetetetetete!! Boobies boobies, tetetetetete!”\n\n“Ackackackackackackackack!”\n\n–\n\nThree joints later, two for him and one for his little newfound “friends”, Shaggy was laying on his bed and staring at the ceiling. It was a dirty ceiling, the stains of [i:3ao6qr7x]something[/i:3ao6qr7x] still there. He had no idea where they came from and he did not really care, all he knew was that he did not want to know and that they were there even before he was born.\n\nTaking another drag from his second joint, or what was left of it, he turned his attention away from the ceiling, and towards the two small guys sitting on his side table. “Sooooo,” he began, his speech drawn out thanks to the THC. He began to sound like Tiffany, only with more emphases in his speech. “... you guuuuuys have naaaames?”\n\nThe bald one rolled on his side so he could see his so called Boss, and grinned madly at him, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. That, combined with him totally stoned out of his, small, mind, made the following sentence absolutely incomprehensible. “Whhhh mmmfffeee mmmfffeee... tetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetete.”\n\nSomehow he still managed to laugh.\n\nShaggy would have raised an eyebrow, but he found it madly amusing and just chuckled. “Sooo... noooo? Yooouuu haaaveee nooo naaameeesss?”\n\nBoth Imps looked at each other, then at him, then they nodded vehemently before they began to break down in cackles again.\n\n“Ooookaaayyy.” The only human, at least he thought that he still was a human, tried to sit up; after three attempts he finally made it, and turned to look at the two otherwordly beings. Then he pointed at the smaller one, the one without hair. “Yooouuu Spoon.”\n\nThe now newly named Imp broke out in open laughter again. “Tetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetete!”\n\nShaggy ignored him and pointed at the other one, the one with the big eyes and the hooves on the end of his legs. And the one who was leaning against the lamp as if it was a tree, a way too big joint in his two hands. “Aaand yooouuu Fluffy.”\n\n“Ackackackack, Fluffy, ackackackackackack.”\n\n“Tetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetete!”\n\n“Ackackackackackackackackackackack!”\n\n“Tetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetete!”\n\n“TURN DOWN THE RUCKUS IN THERE!!” thundered the shrill voice of Simon\'s mother from the door while she hammered her hand against it, the wood shuddering with every impact.\n\n“Sorry mom!” the young man called and motioned his two guests to be silent, something they only could do by disappearing. Which they did. One moment they were there, the next moment they were engulfed in the black and green flames and vanished into nothingness.\n\nFor a moment there was silence, before he could hear the voice of his mother again. “Simon, open the door!”\n\nHe hesitated. What if Fluffy and Spoon would come back in the exact wrong moment? What if she was really angry and hit him again? She wasn\'t as strong as his father and not as violent, at least most of the time, but when she became really angry she was much crueler.\n\n“OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR YOU LITTLE SHIT!!!”\n\nSighing he forced himself up and dragged himself to the door. He unlocked the first lock, then the second. He hesitated to open the third lock, knowing that he would be helpless and defenseless against anything his mother would hit him with. His father would only use his own hands or perhaps a belt, cursing him and belittling him all the time. But that woman...\n\nSo full of hate, poison and bitterness, she was something else. Most of the time she was just cold, uncaring and unresponsive, laying on the couch and watching TV, drinking away her sorrows while some dumb soap opera was running, not caring that the house around her was becoming dirtier and dirtier, the unwashed dishes crusting away in the sink, or she was sleeping in her bed, sleeping out her hangover before she opened the next bottle of vodka. But sometimes she came out of this state and that was what Shaggy was most afraid of.\n\nSometimes she was nice, sobering up and becoming a caring mother for a few days, asking him about school and his friends, washing the dishes and cleaning the house. Sometimes she even watched a movie with him and his father, and those were the times when he could deceive himself and believe in a real family, a caring, loving family. But these states were only short, mostly only holding for a few days, before she found another bottle to open and sank back into her usual self.\n\nBut these times were few and far between. The most times she “woke up”, she was an angry, hurtful woman, violent and poisonous to everyone she saw. She used everything she could get her hands on to throw, from the TV remote to the TV itself, hitting and kicking if she could and being way crueler than his father ever cared to be. Luckily these periods were even shorter than the good ones.\n\nThe door shuddered under the impact of a kick. “OPEN THE DOOR BRAT!!”\n\nSwallowing he unlocked the third lock and opened it. He was greeted with the sight of his mother, her brown hair done in her usual permanent wave, clad in a dirty track suit, in her hand an empty bottle of Vodka. Which she used to hit him.\n\nThe bottle hit Shaggy against the temple and let him sink back. His sunglasses smacked from his face, an ugly laceration on his temple and blood streaming down the side of his face, he looked up at her, his sight fuzzy and foggy. The bottle, now blood splattered against it, landed in front of his shoes.\n\n“Run to the store and bring me another one, useless brat.” With that she turned around and walked off, back to her Soap-Opera.\n\nHissing because of the pain Simon forced himself up and grabbed his sunglasses, shoving them back onto his nose. “Bitch,” he muttered.\n\n“Ackackack, Boss saad bitch, ackackackack.”\n\n“Tetetetetetete, bitch bitch bitch, tetetetetetetetete.”\n\nThrough his foggy vision he could see the two imps, standing next to the bottle, cackling and grinning at him. “She bitchez, tetetetetetete.”\n\n“She ugly bitchez, ackackackackack.”\n\n“Yeah...” he mumbled and stood up, wobbling and feeling weak. “Yeah, she is.”\n\n–\n\nHis hair and the laceration hidden under a dark beanie, three bottles of Vodka in his backpack and two small monsters sitting in the pockets of his pants, Shaggy was on his way back from the drugstore to his home. He wasn\'t in a hurry, moving at the speed a pregnant cow short of sleep would use.\n\n“So, let\'s say I believe you. About being an Imp,” he mused.\n\n“Yeah yeah, Imp Imp, tetetetetetetete.” It came from his left pocket, where the end of a spoon could be seen. He had no idea how and why Spoon had gotten the idea of arming himself with, well, a spoon, but he had did it.\n\n“Exactly”, Simon confirmed, his face not betraying his amusement. Although these two idiots were, like he said, idiots, they were at least there for him and enjoyed a good smoke as much as he did. “Let\'s say I believe you. What does that mean?”\n\n“Imp Imp, ackackackackackack!”\n\n“I know that already,” he mumbled under his breath, rolling with his eyes behind his glasses. “But what does that mean? What does it mean to be an Imp?”\n\n“Tetetetetetetetete,” Spoon giggled and climbed halfway out of Shaggy\'s pocket, grinning up to him. “Nether-Realm Nether-Realm, tetetetetete.”\n\n“Nether-Realm is Impze, ackackackack.”\n\n“Impze is Nether-Realm, tetetetetetetetetete.”\n\n“Nether-Realm wild, ackackackack.”\n\n“Nether-Realm power, tetetetetetete.”\n\n“Power Power, ackackack.”\n\n“We Impze Impze, tetetete. Impze do whut Impze want, tetetetetete.”\n\n“Want want, ackackackack.”\n\nShaggy raised an eyebrow. “What you want to tell me is, that Impze, um, Imps, are free and do whatever they like?”\n\n“Yes yes, free free, ackackackack.”\n\n“There are no rules you follow?”\n\n“No rules, tetetetetetete.”\n\nHe could not help it; he grinned a bit. Being an Imp didn\'t sound so bad anymore. “Okay, so an Imp is free. But what can you, or I, do? I mean, what\'s with the fire?”\n\n“Nether-Fire Nether-Fire, ackackackack.”\n\n“And what does that mean?”\n\nThe two Imps grinned up to him and it was not their usual way of grinning. This time their eyes were gleaming with mischief and amusement, like they were planning something. “Fireball fireball, tetetetete.”\n\n“Firesoard firesoard, ackackackack.”\n\n“Did you just say sword?”\n\n“Firebombze firebombze, tetetetetete.”\n\n“A bomb? You can throw bombs?”\n\n“Boooom boooom, ackackackackackack!”\n\n“Tetetetetetetetetetete!”\n\n“I see, you guys have your priorities,” he mused with a slight smile on his lips. “Okay, you can play with this fire, I know that. But what about this teleportation thingie you do?”\n\n“Uz take walk, ackackackack.”\n\n“Suuuuuuure,” he said with thick sarcasm in his voice. “Okay, what else?”\n\n“Enchantment, tetetetetetetetete.”\n\n“Yeah, enchantment enchantment, ackackackackackack.”\n\n“Enchantment?” Shaggy asked intrigued, looking at Fluffy. “What is that?”\n\n“Ackackackackack. Enchanting houmontz, ackackackack.”\n\n“Houmontz houmontz, tetetetetetetetetetete.” \n\n[i:3ao6qr7x]That sounds interesting.[/i:3ao6qr7x]\n\n–\n\nLeaning against his locker, listening to the sound of Eminem\'s new single using his I-Phone, he watched his fellow Polk High students milling around their own business, ignoring him or throwing him pitying looks. Two basketball players walked past him and one of them grinned openly at him with a look on his face like he was about to shove him into his locker, not that he had never done that before.\n\nShaggy remembered him, Howard What’s-His-Name, apparently an average player in the team, but good enough to stay in the team. And just because he was able to dribble and to throw a ball better than Shaggy, he, and apparently everyone else too, seemed to believe that he was allowed to be a total asshole and bully the kids who weren\'t in a sport\'s team. Like Simon.\n\nFor a moment he thought about using him to test his newly acquired ability, but then he shoved that thought to the side. The risk would be too high if it wouldn\'t work, he needed to test it on someone weak minded; someone who wasn\'t too bright either. That\'s what Spoon and Fluffy had told him. [i:3ao6qr7x]So... at best a dumb jock from a loser team. Bad scores means low acknowledgement, means lower self-esteem.[/i:3ao6qr7x]\n\nAnd that was when the perfect opportunity walked up to him in the form of Bryan Turner: big, burly, ugly and nearly as intelligent as a loaf of bread. Member of the soccer team, perhaps the most despised team of all. Not because they were untalented, but because they were just too lazy to train and their coach was incompetent.\n\n“Hey Stoner!” he thundered and towered in front of Shaggy, twice as broad and half a head taller. “I heard you were talking to my girlfriend.”\n\n“Ronda?” Shaggy asked. “Yes, we\'re lab partners.” [i:3ao6qr7x]Because that hollow slut is too lazy to do her work on her own.[/i:3ao6qr7x]\n\nThe next instant he was grabbed by his shirt and shoved against the locker. His feet lost contact to the ground and he felt how his shirt was strained, but he remained cool. This dumb asshole couldn\'t do anything to him he hadn\'t experienced before, he was way too used to this kind of treatment to be intimidated by him anymore.\n\n“Now listen Mop-Head,” Bryan said, trying to sound menacing, but the only thing he did was to sound like a bad imitation of Bugsy Malone. Not very intimidating, more something to laugh about. “You will not talk to her, you will not touch her, you will not even look at her, you understand?”\n\nShaggy didn\'t even listen to him; he recalled what Spoon had told him while Fluffy had drunk a whole bottle of Jack Daniels. How he was still alive was a riddle to Simon, or even how all this alcohol could get into the two small Impze, um, Imps. [i:3ao6qr7x]Okay... Okay. Concentrate. Imagine a picture of myself, together with a mental image of the concept of ‘friend’. And then shove it up his small brain.[/i:3ao6qr7x]\n\nBehind his sunglasses his eyes were getting smaller and he did not know it, but they began to glow in a faint, green light.\n\n“So, if you ever get any ideas, I will break every fucking bone in your puny body, you understand?!”\n\nShaggy sighed and raised his hands in a gesture of friendliness and openness, like he was trying to show the soccer player that he had nothing to hide. “Hey, I don\'t know what you heard, but I swear to you, that were just lab partners, nothing else.”\n\nBryan scowled and hesitated for a few seconds, before he asked with a slightly less menacing tone: “Really?”\n\n“Yeah, I swear by the grave of my grandmother,” Simon assured him.\n\nThe soccer player let him down and made a small step back. “Oh. Sorry.”\n\n“It\'s okay, let\'s just forget about it.”\n\nBryan smiled and became a bit red, now suddenly clearly embarrassed by his behavior. “Yeah, sounds good. So, you okay dude?”\n\n“Everything\'s fine, no harm done dude.” Inwardly Shaggy was dancing and giving himself a mental high five. He could hear how his two little underlings, if you could call them that, would giggle and cackle about the whole incident. [i:3ao6qr7x]Speaking of them, where are the two idiots?[/i:3ao6qr7x]\n\n–\n\nHiding in a locker the two small beings called Spoon and Fluffy, the first one with a real spoon in his hand like it was a weapon, were watching through the viewing slots of a locker, at least for them it was that, and trying to restrain their laughter. In front of them the cheerleaders of the Polk High Penguins were changing, totally unaware of the two small peeping toms.\n\n“Boobies, ackackackackackack.”\n\n“Tetetetete, you saad boobies, tetetetetetete.”\n\n“Yeah, yeah, boobies, ackackackackackackack.”\n\n–\n\nSitting in the lab on the table farthest away from the blackboard, Shaggy was trying to repress his grin. Since he had got Bryan to back off and leave him alone he felt like he could walk on air. Forget the ability to summon fire and throw fireballs and to teleport himself, enchanting others was just the best thing that could have happened to him.\n\nHe ignored the other students walking into the room, talking and whispering and just ignoring him as much as he did them; he was just happy to be all by himself for this moment.\n\n“Tetetetete, boom boom, tetetetetetetetete,” came from out of his backpack. Okay, at least nearly alone, the two big headed pervy Imps were sitting in his backpack and amusing themselves with reading a titty magazine, god knows from where they had that, and thinking about what could all go wrong in the lab.\n\nThey were simple souls, easy to satisfy. They loved explosions, boobies, dumb fun, booze, drugs and speed; everything that was loud was also good to them. And the best color in their minds was “Impzy”, however that looked like. Shaggy had no idea, and apparently they hadn\'t either, but that wasn\'t important to them.\n\nHis musings were interrupted when he sensed how someone sat down next to him and a quick glance confirmed that it was Ronda, his lab partner. Nearly as hot as the cheerleaders but way sluttier dressed, but also a bit smarter. Not that every cheerleader was unintelligent, but the majority were. Why should they learn? Their grades were secure as long as they were sexy and successful.\n\nRonda was an attractive girl, fifteen years old with tanned skin, long honey blond hair and a cute smile. Her nose was a bit bigger than that of most girls but that wasn\'t dramatic, considering that she was quite unbalanced because of her upper-body heaviness and the fact that her mouth was very sensual. And of course her legs, those long, athletic legs, material for every teenager’s wet dream.\n\n“Hey Shaggy,” she greeted him and showed him a flirtatious smile, like she always did. And of course she was showing him the right amount of cleavage and skin to let him think about her body but not enough to let him get any ideas. Sneaky bitch that she was, trying to play him. So far it had worked very well.\n\n[i:3ao6qr7x]Not anymore, slut, not anymore[/i:3ao6qr7x], he thought and smiled back. “Hi Ronda.”\n\nIn the same moment he concentrated again, this time trying to use his power of enchantment again but in another way. Like with Bryan he wanted to change the way he was viewed by the enchanted, but unlike before it wasn\'t to look like a friend. This time it was about something more primal, something way more primitive. He thought about himself and tried to combine it with the emotion of lust and attraction, “shoving” that image in the direction of Ronda.\n\nWhile the teacher Mr. Pauls, a man way past his prime, walked into the class and began to talk immediately without even waiting for his class to calm down, Shaggy noticed how Ronda bit her lower lip and began to breath a bit more heavy. He grinned, knowing that he would have a lot of fun with this ability.\n\n“Hey...” she whispered to him after a few minutes, startling him. Again she flashed him a smile, but this time she looked not so sure of herself anymore. “I\'m sorry about Bryan. Sometimes he’s just an idiot.”\n\n“Oh... it\'s okay, not your fault,” he answered and leaned slightly into her direction, so that she could hear him. He laid his hand on hers, gripping it slightly and immediately he felt how hot she felt, she was sweating slightly. She shuddered and in the first moment it looked like she wanted to withdraw her hand, but then she just let it where it was. And her head turned the color of a tomato.\n\n–\n\nMoaning and sweating he was lying under her, feeling her hot skin against his body, tasting her lips and her tongue, breathing against her neck, moving together with her. The air was filled with the sound of wild, sensual sex, groaning and panting and moaning, the scent of sweat and body fluids hanging heavy in the air around the couple.\n\nHer blond hair was tickling him in his nose as he bit her neck and she screamed in a mixture of pain and lust, all the while still moving on him, her hand buried in his hair and the other running up and down his back. She kissed him hungrily and he responded in the same way, biting into her lip and hugging her, pressing her against his body, while he moved inside of her.\n\n“More...” she whispered with a moan into his ear and bit then into his shoulder, squeaking as he did just that. “Deeper... ohhh... hummmm...”\n\n“Oh god...” Shaggy moaned, feeling like he was in heaven, before he kissed her again and thrust harder into her.\n\nUnknown to Ronda the two Imps were sitting in the trunk of the car, giggling and cackling.\n\n“Ackackackackackackack, Boss scorink, ackackackackack.”\n\n“Tetetetetetetetete, scorink scorink, tetetetetetetetetetete. Boobies boobies.”\n\n“You saad boobies, ackackackackackackack.”\n\nIn the car the two teenagers were now sitting on each other, breathing heavily and gasping for air, their bodies covered with sweat. He was only clad in his pants which were down around his ankles, and she was only wearing her top which was drawn up so that her marvelous breasts were resting on his chest.\n\n“Wow...” she moaned, still out of breath and looking like she had just ran a marathon. But she beamed like she had won one.\n\nUnder her, cuddled onto her and also out of breath, was Shaggy, grinning like an idiot and feeling like he was king of the world. Or at least like the Boss of it. [i:3ao6qr7x]Yeah, Boss. Kakakakakakakakakakaka.[/i:3ao6qr7x] \n\n–\n\nThe following week was the perhaps best of Shaggy’s life. He played around with his newfound abilities, seduced two other girls to sleep with him, and got a blowjob from his hot Spanish teacher Miss Vitale after school. And he managed to divert his usual bullies away from him, not once he got thrown into the trash or his head shoved into the toilet.\n\nBut he also found out that while he was able to play with people’s minds, or at least their emotions, it wasn\'t holding for long. After an hour or something they returned to normal, sometimes faster and sometimes slower; Ronda had the hots for him even after two days while Miss Vitale lost her lust for him immediately after he was finished. And he also found out that while he could talk people into some things or at least make them more receptive to him, he couldn\'t bring them to do anything they wouldn\'t normally do.\n\nFluffy and Spoon told him that more powerful Imps were able to do that and could even order a weak minded individual to commit suicide, but for the moment that was way out of his league. Not that he would want to do it, but just knowing that he could do it was a major turn on for him.\n\nBut it was enough to get lucky and also enough to get into the few clubs he was normally not allowed in. He drank beer and whiskey with bikers in their bar, welcomed like a small brother and even flirting with a hot biker chick in leather pants, before a six feet high and half as broad man with a beard as long and thick as the hair of some girls drank shots with him and had to carry him home.\n\nHe smoked joints with guys like Red and Tango, the local drug lords; he even sampled the new funny pills they were talking about. The two Afro-Americans were perhaps the most powerful criminals in Lawndale, getting their stuff direct from Columbia and Afghanistan through New York, dealing cocaine, LSD and other, newer stuff.\n\nHe had sex in the toilet of the country club, fucking the brain out of some rich man\'s daughter he did not care about, just because he could do it. It was like he could do whatever he wanted; he was absolutely free. Just like an Imp should be.\n\nHe played around with the Nether-Fire, first able to create a small spark on the tip of his finger, later enough to light a cigarette with it, and finally a small flame that did what he wanted, if he concentrated enough. The green and black fire was like a living thing, it had to be forced into form by pure willpower or it would do whatever it wanted, absolutely unpredictable. Sometimes it just extinguished, sometimes it grew before it vanished and sometimes it tried to engulf everything it could reach, like it was exploding outwards.\n\nIt was the best week in Shaggy\'s life.\n\nHe walked back home with the now usual grin in his face, feeling like he owned the world. His two constant companions were sitting in his pockets again, like most of the time, Fluffy totally drunk, Spoon stoned out of his mind. Most of the time it was the other way around.\n\nHe threw a look to the Gran Torino of his father, asking himself if he should try to ask the bastard if he could drive it, using his new abilities of enchantment of course. [i:3ao6qr7x]Later. Not today, next week perhaps. Some day that piece of metal will be mine.[/i:3ao6qr7x]\n\nHis grin became a smirk when he moved his head to the side to look at the Legion Tower on the horizon, still standing proud and tall like it was some sort of castle. He thought about the girls living there, about the way their new uniforms showed off their great bodies. [i:3ao6qr7x]Just like some day I will fuck Jane Lane’s brains out, before I move on to the rest of them. Oh yeah, I will.[/i:3ao6qr7x]\n\n“Kakakakakakakakakakakakakakaka.” Laughing he opened the door to his home and stepped into the house. If he would have been more attentive he would have noticed the unusual silence, filled neither with snoring nor the TV, nor with cursing or screaming like usual. But he was in way too good mood to care, he just walked up the stairs with a swing in his steps and hummed a melody.\n\nStill humming, he thought about what to do in the afternoon, perhaps just chilling and smoking some weed, just a lazy afternoon, when he opened the door to his room and stepped in. He froze.\n\nHis father was standing in the middle of his room, his face a mask of fury and rage, his eyes ablaze with hate. In his hand was a baseball bat, in the other one a half empty bottle of whiskey. And in front of him on the floor was the box that was usually stored away in Shaggy\'s closet, the one filled with the money he made selling weed to other students, more than six thousand dollars.\n\nThe room was a debris field, the furniture smashed, the clothes ripped out of the closet, the action figures destroyed, the posters ripped from the walls. It was like a hurricane of anger had rampaged through it.\n\n“You little maggot... you ungrateful piece of shit,” his father growled. In the next moment he threw the bottle, missing and only hitting the wall. Glass shattered and the golden liquor splattered onto the wall and the ground. “You\'re my son, I own you, you\'re mine!! And what do you do?!!”\n\nShaggy made a step back, but his legs didn\'t respond to his commands, he was frozen to the spot.\n\n“I should have done this a long time before!!” his father slurred and charged him, the bat held high.\n\n[b:3ao6qr7x]To be continued[/b:3ao6qr7x]','07c9360fb0265e3ccc6e7841cc225ba7',0,'ZA==','3ao6qr7x',1,1302531399,'',1172,1,0),(462322,31972,6,59,0,'98.214.72.176',1298167543,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: A LoLH Mini: Da Boss-King of Impze (Part One)','[quote=&quot;Wassersauefer&quot;:3208pjnh][quote=&quot;psychotol&quot;:3208pjnh] Just wondering, is this based on an existing X-Men/Legion character or is this a new creation on your part?[/quote:3208pjnh]\n\nNew one, I prefer to have full free reign when I create characters  <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D -->[/quote:3208pjnh]\n\n\n\nWelllll... there could be some slight allusion to the [url=http&#58;//en&#46;wikipedia&#46;org/wiki/White_Witch_%28comics%29:3208pjnh][i:3208pjnh]White Witch[/i:3208pjnh][/url:3208pjnh] in the character...\n\n\nOh, and you might want to change this to a LLH [i:3208pjnh][b:3208pjnh]Special[/b:3208pjnh][/i:3208pjnh].

This is indeed a much better article than the one on Wikipedia.  Which is a bit frightening.

Am I saying anyone who ends a human life should be punished? No, there are exceptions: Self-defense being among them. But a fetus is harmless. It cannot wield a weapon, and it can\'t kill another. The only possible exceptions I can think of are if the mother\'s life is directly threatened as a result of the pregnancy (a bitter choice, but there are no alternatives. Even then, I\'m uncertain, if the mother made the willing choice to have sex with knowledge of this fact), if the fetus has an unequivocally terminal condition like anencephaly (in which the baby has no chance at all), or in cases of proven rape (even then, I don\'t support it, but I grudgingly accept it. I\'d still consider adoption the best policy.)[/quote:btoxiqv4]It is misleading to say that a fetus is not harmless. Every pregnancy presents a statistically measurable risk to the life of the pregnant woman, and also a statistically measurable risk of permanent damage short of death. Terminating the pregnancy reduces the risk. Of course, people--women--do choose, with greater or lesser degrees of understanding of what they are doing, to undergo those risks, because they think it\'s worth doing so. But any woman who chooses to have an abortion is, objectively, choosing to defend herself against what is, objectively, a risk of death or of some lesser permanent harm. If acting to defend yourself against harm is not murder, then abortion is not murder.\n\nApart from that, your position raises a series of philosophical questions. The first, which I see other people have been asking you, but which you have not been answering, possibly because it hasn\'t been made clear to you just what the question actually is, is this: why do you want to prevent the ending of human lives? It can be hard to see that this is a serious question, because it\'s so generally (if not perhaps universally) agreed that ending human lives is a bad thing. What makes it a serious practical question is that figuring out why you generally want to prevent it affects which exceptions you think should be made (you\'ve agreed that there should be some exceptions). For example, the first part of my answer would be: people\'s lives shouldn\'t be ended because people don\'t want to have their lives ended. Given that basis, I tend to think that there could be a case for exceptions where people want to have their lives ended. But also, with that being an important reason for me, it\'s obvious to me that it doesn\'t apply to fetuses. Fetuses don\'t themselves raise objections to having their lives ended. They show no signs of wanting to stay alive, and that makes it easier for me to say that ending the lives of the unborn should generally be an exception to any rule against ending human lives.\n\nGoing further, I see that you say that self-defence is one exception to the rule against ending human lives. But you haven\'t said why, and you haven\'t said what (if any) other exceptions you think there should be. That makes it harder to understand what principles your position might be based on.\n\nYou say that if the mother\'s life is directly threatened there might be an exception, although you\'re not sure about that if the mother had sex willingly, and also that you might be prepared to accept a grudging exception where the woman was raped. You haven\'t explained why you think it might make a difference whether the woman had sex willingly or whether she was raped. That also makes it harder to understand what principles your position might be based on.\n\nYou say that there might be an exception if the fetus has an unequivocally terminal condition, but you haven\'t explained why that might make a difference. (Would you make an exception for the killing of a born person with an unequivocally terminal condition?)

The human fetus (the single cell at the moment of sperm and egg joining) is worthy of protection because it is human. I\'ve argued before that the definition of murder, a punishable crime is &quot;ending of another human life with malice aforethought.&quot; An abortion qualifies as this, even if the fetus is but a single cell, because it is a human life. Abortion is a planned procedure, with waivers, disclaimers, a waiting period, and all that. Even if was an &quot;in-and-out&quot; procedure, the mother still determines to end the life before doing it. That handles the &quot;malice aforethought&quot; part. \n\nDoes this help?[/quote:3p0mm621]Where are you getting your definition of \'murder\' from?

He was about to high-five his friend again, when Sandi glared at him. “Eep!” He then leaned away from Sandi further, brushing against Stacy.\n\n\nDaria was beginning to conclude; “And so, the one person I\'d like to thank more than any other is my very own [i:r3mn86sp]overachiever[/i:r3mn86sp] sister, Quinn Morgendorffer...”\n\n\nQuinn was aghast. “Overachiever!” she exclamed.

Now remember single file when exiting the auditorium.”\n\n\nQuinn walked to Andrea\'s thinking about Daria embarrassing her during the assembly. It always had been so that she and Daria were at each other\'s throats, sometimes literally. \'She is a misanthropic jerk! And I am sure that she think\'s of me in similar terms. At least we aren\'t like Mom and Aunt Rita,\' she thought.\nAs she approached the creepy house she saw that Andrea was waiting for her. She looked at her watch. 4:04 pm it read. \'Punctuality not found,\' she thought as she came up to the front of the Hecuba\'s property.\n\n“You\'re late,” Andrea said, pointedly.\n\n“I thought I would walk. I thought I needed time to think about the events during assembly,” Quinn said.\n\n“If I had a sibling and they embarrassed me like that, I wouldn\'t talk to them for quite a while,” Andrea said, as she lead the way inside.\n\n\'You don\'t know Daria.\'\n\n\nHelen stopped the SUV in front of the Hecuba\'s house. “That\'s the house where she has been spending her afternoons?” Jake asked.\n\n“Yes Jake, wait here, then we\'re going to the UFO convention,” Helen said as she got out.\n\n\'Oh my, no wonder Quinn said that this place is creepy,\' she thought as she walked up the path. She hoped that creepiness did not extend to the people who lived there.\n\n\n“You get a B+ for Perl,” Andrea said to Quinn.\n\n“Cool!” Quinn said.\n\nThere was a few knocks on the bedroom door and Andrea\'s mother could be heard saying “Andrea, Quinn\'s mother is here to pick her up.”\n“Let her in,” Andrea said, tersely.\n\nA few moments later Helen opened the door. “Oh my, this is worse than Daria\'s room,” she said, taking in the dark décor.\n\nAndrea raised an eyebrow \'I guess Daria may be a closet Goth,\' she thought.\n\n“Mo-om, why are you picking me up?” Quinn asked.\n\n“We are going to visit the UFO convention tonight,” Helen said.\n\nQuinn sighed, as she shut her laptop. “It was Daria\'s idea, wasn\'t it,”\n\n“Yes, to celebrate her getting out of the self-esteem class early,” Helen said.\n\n“Mom, she used her speech to embarrass me,” Quinn said.\n\n“That\'s nothing new.”\n\n“She called me an overacheiver!”\n\nAndrea backed off, not wishing to get caught up in the Morgendorffer family\'s dynamic. \'I have enough of that with my own family,\' she thought.\n\n“Quinn, she may have straight A\'s but she doesn\'t have any extracurricular activities,” Helen said.\n\n“I suppose,” Quinn said, thinking.\n\nAndrea made a \'throat clearing\' noise.\n\n“Oh! Sorry for this family discussion in your room...” Helen said, pausing, not sure of Andrea\'s name.\n\n“Andrea.”\n\n“Would you like to come over to our place to test Quinn next week?” Helen asked.\n\n“I will think about it,” Andrea said.\n\n“Right,” Helen said.\n\n“Bye, Andrea,” Quinn said.\n\n\n10 minutes later the Morgendorffers had arrived at the UFO convention.\n\n\'This is so weird!” Quinn thought after they checked in. A lot of the exhibits exuded a creepiness at a similar level to that of Andrea\'s house. Of course some of them were even creepier.\n\n“Let\'s go get our picture taken with the cardboard alien,” Daria suggested. She lead Helen and Jake towards the cardboard alien in question.\n“Uh... sure, honey. Whatever you want,” Jake said.\n\n\'I don\'t particularly want to have my picture taken with a creepy looking cardboard alien,\' Quinn thought as she stayed where she was.\n\n“Quinn?” Helen asked.\n\n“I\'ll wait here,” Quinn said.\n\n“OK, We\'ll be right back,” Jake said.\n\nQuinn looked around, for a few seconds before someone walked up to her.\n“Hi! I\'m Artie. You\'re cool,” he said.\n\nThat was the last straw... “Mom! Dad! You guys, wait up!” Quinn said.

You really have no earthly idea what you\'ve gotten yourselves into, do you? There\'s a reason why The Fashion Club has been so dominant for so long, and that is because we are the most ruthless entity there has ever been in the history of this sport. We look to go beyond the limit at all times, and those who show the slightest bit of weakness or remorse get cast aside and obliterated. And that\'s what will happen to you three. Obliteration. For you see, no one here in the LFC, no one in all of wrestling, and especially none of these gelatinous tapeworms in the audience can match up to The Fashion Club. To put it into simple words that anyone can understand, we\'re hot... and you\'re not.&quot;\n\n[i:izf0408m](The crowd boos heavily, while Sandi just smirks)[/i:izf0408m]\n\n[b:izf0408m]Sandi:[/b:izf0408m] &quot;You know something, Daria?

I enjoyed every single second of what we did to Helen Barksdale, and if he were there, I would have done the same thing to your father Jake, regardless of how many heart attacks he has had. We can do these things whenever we want to, Daria, because really, who can stop us? We are the reflections of perfection. We are the sensations of the nation.

Our next match is the tournament final to crown our first ever LFC Mixed Tag Team Champions. Commissioned by General Manager Angela Li after the success of the Lawndale Rumble, eight teams, each with one man and one woman, fought in a single elimination tournament. The two finalists are the team of Dewey &quot;Shaggy&quot; Rogers and Jennifer &quot;Burnout&quot; Burns, and their opponents, Evan Johnston and Siobhan &quot;Chipmunk&quot; Hogan of The Track Stars.&quot;\n[b:izf0408m]Barch:[/b:izf0408m] &quot;Shaggy and Burnout are possibly the craziest pairing in the history of the LFC, but they are possibly the luckiest. Their quarter final against Upchuck and Dawn Harris was a glorified handicap match when Dawn turned her back on Upchuck, and really who could blame her? Then they got really lucky in the semi final when they defeated Sandi Griffin and Joey Black after Stacy Rowe interfered. I just think that they\'re out of their depth here. Meanwhile, The Track Stars had a very convincing win over Josh Carter and Brooke Watkins, as well as an upset win over Kevin Thompson and Brittany Taylor. Add that to their chemistry from years of teaming and training together, and you can see why I think Evan and Siobhan are the favourites.&quot;\n[b:izf0408m]O\'Neill:[/b:izf0408m] &quot;On that note, it\'s over to Anthony!&quot;\n\n[i:izf0408m](Cut to DeMartino, standing in the ring)[/i:izf0408m]\n\n[b:izf0408m]DeMartino:[/b:izf0408m] &quot;Ladies and gentlemen, the following CONTEST is an INTERGENDER TAG TEAM MATCH, scheduled for ONE fall, and it is FOR the LFC Mixed TAG TEAM Championship!&quot;\n\n[i:izf0408m](The crowd cheers.

That\'s Coyote Yeager, part of this year\'s inaugural LFC Hall Of Fame induction class! Imagine how much motivation it gives these youngsters to have a legend of the sport in their corner.&quot;\n[b:izf0408m]Barch:[/b:izf0408m] &quot;I\'d say it\'s very motivating, but they have to make sure he doesn\'t get involved physically, lest they get disqualified and forfeit the match and the gold.&quot;\n\n[i:izf0408m](They get into the ring, with Shaggy and Burnout hopping onto the middle ropes and posing for the crowd and Coyote applauding them from behind.

The sun\'s probably in his eyes.&quot;\n[b:izf0408m]Barch:[/b:izf0408m] &quot;Or he\'s been chasing the dragon all night. Either way it\'s rather stupid.&quot;\n\n[i:izf0408m](Shaggy picks up Chipmunk and throws her down with a body slam.

She rolls over and tries for a pinfall)[/i:izf0408m]\n\n[b:izf0408m]O\'Neill:[/b:izf0408m] &quot;1... 2... and no. The senton gets a 2 count from referee Nick Campbell.&quot;\n[b:izf0408m]Barch:[/b:izf0408m] &quot;That\'s exactly what the crowd like to see her do. High risk, high risk, high risk. But honestly, I think she needs to adopt more styles into her ringwork, lest she become a one-trick pony.&quot;\n[b:izf0408m]O\'Neill:[/b:izf0408m] &quot;I think Burns is the kind of person who\'d rather practice one move a thousand times than practice a thousand moves once.&quot;\n\n[i:izf0408m](Burnout picks up Chipmunk and whips her to a neutral corner.

And now Hogan with the cover. Burnout gets up at 2.&quot;\n\n[i:izf0408m](Chipmunk picks up Burnout and takes her over to their home corner, where she tags in Evan.

It\'s that dangerous ankle lock of hers and it is locked in tight!&quot;\n[b:izf0408m]Barch:[/b:izf0408m] &quot;It\'s the same move that took out Brooke Watkins in the first round of this tournament. Could it be the move that wins the LFC Mixed Tag Team Championship?&quot;\n[b:izf0408m]O\'Neill:[/b:izf0408m] &quot;Look at Burns trying to work her way out of this predicament.

Evan saw that Siobhan was in danger and made the save for the team!&quot;\n[b:izf0408m]O\'Neill:[/b:izf0408m] &quot;More like blatant cheating. Burns was about to make the tag, and now it looks like she could be about to submit.&quot;\n[b:izf0408m]Barch:[/b:izf0408m] &quot;No shame in being beaten by a better team, Tim.&quot;\n\n[i:izf0408m](Burnout is trying to get to the ropes to break up the submission, but can\'t.

She\'s losing her grip on the ankle!&quot;\n[b:izf0408m]O\'Neill:[/b:izf0408m] &quot;And Burns is free of the submission, but the damage may already be done. She needs to tag in to Rogers and tag him in now.&quot;\n[b:izf0408m]Barch:[/b:izf0408m] &quot;Look at her holding the ropes as she gets up. She can barely stand on that leg right now.&quot;\n\n[i:izf0408m](Burnout hops over to Chipmunk and starts hitting her with knife-edge chops.

Only 2.&quot;\n[b:izf0408m]Barch:[/b:izf0408m] &quot;There is no denying Burnout\'s heart, but the body may not be able to hold up its end of the bargain.&quot;\n[b:izf0408m]O\'Neill:[/b:izf0408m] &quot;I know, just looking at the eyes of Jennifer Burns and you can see just how glazed over they are right now.&quot;\n[b:izf0408m]Barch:[/b:izf0408m] &quot;Her eyes are always glazed over, skinny.&quot;\n\n[i:izf0408m](Chipmunk picks her up and lets her stand.

But she hasn\'t got enough left in her make the cover!&quot;\n[b:izf0408m]Barch:[/b:izf0408m] &quot;Siobhan is almost out unconscious, but Burnout can\'t capitalise on it. She needs to make the tag!&quot;\n[b:izf0408m]O\'Neill:[/b:izf0408m] &quot;They both do! They\'re just crawling to their corners, their partners begging them to reach out and tag them into the match!&quot;\n\n[i:izf0408m](With her last bit of stamina, Burnout gets on her feet and jumps her corner to make the tag to Shaggy.

Mounted at the front were two giant headlights the size of small spotlights and a rope was tied between the lamps to be used for some unidentified purpose.  She suspected that the rope was a structural support.\n\nThe doors were paper thin metal, and the tires were thin enough to be motorcycle tires.  The engine rested in the half-cylinder that made the front of the truck.  The view was not obstructed by anything like a windshield...or rear windshield...or any glass at all.  The plodding open-air vehicle had some crates nailed to the flatbed in back, and on top of these crates was something like a porch swing which was covered with a blanket to provide rudimentary padding.\n\nIt was the only ride she was going to get.  She had to accept it, even if it meant riding in this freakish contraption.\n\n&quot;Thanks for the ride, Jethro,&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;Sh-yooot!  Ain\'t no problem!

She was beginning\nto understand the tools that she was using, but only after discarding a few of\nthe worlds she\'d created.  \n\nIt was a long Veterans\' Day weekend, and so Daria felt she could take up Sam\'s\noffer to play around in his lab for a few hours.  Instead of going through a\nready-made scenario, Sam thought it would be interesting for her to start with\nthe equivalent of a blank sheet of paper and build her own universe.  After \nshowing her some of the basics of world-building, he left her alone to muddle \nher way through.\n\nThis was now her seventh attempt at creating a universe.  She\'d cleared everything\nout, so that all there was, was herself floating in a white void.  It looked as\nthough she was surrounded by an overcast sky.  This was a starter universe, one\nwith a few broadly-defined rules that could be added to or modified.\n\nThe first thing she did was define a surface and set up its gravitational force.\nShe made the floor extend out to infinity and colored it light yellow with green\ngrid lines one meter apart.  Daria slowly descended to the floor.  With a bit of\nthought, she adjusted the gravity to about half-normal.  That feels nice, she\nthought.  What now?\n\nDaria noted that she\'d been inside for about thirty minutes of objective time.\nShe wanted to build something good in the time she had left.  Her thoughts \nswirled around, trying to focus on something.  Sam built that seaside cottage on \nCape Cod, based on a happy memory from his childhood.  Perhaps she ought to do\nthe same.  What was a good, happy memory from her own youth?  Daria tried to \ncome up with something.\n\nThose times when she was alone and free to read and expand her imagination were\nnice.  Daria recognized from early on that unlike most children, she had a very\ndeep inner life.  This meant that she was often her own best company, and she \nresented it when others tried to interfere.  Going to that Camp Grizzly, for \nexample, was pure torture: she wasn\'t allowed to bring any of her books and was\nforced into the company of kids that she mostly despised.  Well, Amelia was \ntolerable, but only barely.  \n\nMaybe something from a book?  Daria thought about all of the books she\'d read\nthat she admired.  Those Gor books briefly flashed into her mind.  They were \ndumb and fun, but it would be a little embarrassing to explain to Sam why she\nwould want to play-act being a slave girl.  She considered the Narnia books for\na moment, but decided that that would be a little too ambitious.  The same went\nfor Middle Earth.  \n\nAn idea popped into her mind.  Daria first read [u:2kjomcip]The Phantom Tollbooth[/u:2kjomcip] when she \nwas eight, and she returned to it every couple of years.  It was one of those \nbooks that gave her something new each time she reread it.  The book had not \nchanged at all, it was Daria who had changed over the years.  Initially, Daria\nempathized with the Milo, and as she grew older, she came to appreciate the \nsubtle word-play and social commentary.\n\nThat\'s what I\'m going to make, she told herself.  She decided to start with \nDictionopolis, the city of words.  The palace of King Azaz at first took on the \nshape of Cinderella\'s castle in Disneyland, but then she decided that it ought \nto be formed from the word \'palace\'; the \'l\' formed a tower and the bottom of \nthe \'p\' became the bridge over the moat.  Inside, Daria had some fun putting\ntogether the king\'s banquet.  \n\nThe next several hours were spent building sets.  The orchestra of Chroma the \nGreat, Officer Shrift\'s prison, the Castle in the Air, Digitopolis, all came forth\nfrom Daria\'s mind.  The only part that was missing was the people.\n\nDaria felt a little uneasy about creating people for her world.  It was one thing\nto do scenery design.  Making up people and giving them personalities sounded \na lot harder.  She remembered the time she and Sam went to that Wild West town\nand interacted with the people there.  They looked real enough, but their actions\nwere predictable and their personalities were limited.  It would have been nice\nto be able to create the princesses Rhyme and Reason and have a long chat with \nthem about literature and philosophy.  \n\nAs Daria was filling in some details in the Castle in the Air, a low voice \nspoke from above the ceiling.  &quot;Daria, may I come in?&quot;\n\nDaria\'s concentration shattered, causing the throne she\'d been forming to shatter.\nOut of force of habit, she brushed her hands on her coveralls, even though they\ncould never get dirty.  &quot;Yeah, I guess.  Is that you, Sam?&quot;  A human form shimmered, \nthen solidified.  He was an older man, bald and possessing a large, beak-like nose.  \nThough she had only met him once, she recognized him immediately.  &quot;Professor\nHorwitz?&quot;\n\n&quot;Please, you can just call me Marvin.  You\'ve probably realized by now that \nwe\'re not as formal as your professors are at Raft.&quot;  He made a show of looking\naround.  &quot;I like what you\'ve done here.  Is this Heaven?&quot;\n\n&quot;Thanks.  No, it\'s the Castle in the Air.&quot;\n\n&quot;You mean Laputa?&quot;\n\n&quot;No, no, it\'s from [u:2kjomcip]The Phantom Tollbooth[/u:2kjomcip].  I read it when I was a kid.&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh, right.  I read it too, when it first came out in the early 1960s.  I thought \nit was very charming.  So where are the princesses?  Or have they been freed \nalready?&quot;\n\nDaria chuckled nervously.  &quot;No, I haven\'t made them yet.  I haven\'t made [i:2kjomcip]any[/i:2kjomcip]\npeople yet.  I\'m not sure how to do it right.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah, that can be tricky.  Over the Summer, Sam and Avrum wanted to make Bugs\nBunny.  They were able to get the form right, and they loaded him with stock\nphrases, but it wasn\'t enough.  He wasn\'t the Bugs Bunny you see in the cartoons,\nand after a while, he stopped being interesting.  You couldn\'t have much of a \nconversation with him.  Mostly, he stood around and ate carrots and would \nsometimes say \'What\'s up, Doc?\'&quot;\n\n&quot;So if I made the princesses, they wouldn\'t be able to do much?&quot;  \n\n&quot;Not really.  It would take a lot more research.  Artificial Intelligence hasn\'t \nquite gotten to that level.  The best we can do right now is make someone who \nresponds to stimuli.  Dogs and cats are not that hard, since their motivations \nare simpler than humans\'.  All a cat wants to do is eat, sleep, be played with \nand maybe catch mice.  A human being\'s behavior is a lot more complicated than a \ncat\'s.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah.&quot;  Daria felt a little disappointed.  \n\n&quot;But don\'t worry.  I\'ll let you in on a little secret they teach in engineering\nschool: most of time, \'good enough\' is better than \'best\'.  So, for our purposes,\nthe characters we create don\'t have to act as real flesh-and-blood human beings,\nthey\'re just characters, and we can define as much detail and nuance into them\nas we please.  In a sense, they\'re props, just like that throne you were trying \nto make.  You don\'t have to try so hard.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, okay.&quot;  Daria closed her eyes.  &quot;So if I want to make the princesses, I\nshould start with the Feiffer sketches that were in the book, right?&quot;  When she\nreopened her eyes, she saw a flat image of Princesses Rhyme and Reason, made of\na collection of downwardly stroking lines.  They were both pretty; Rhyme on the\nleft looked very innocent, while Reason held a more serious expression.  With a\nbit of concentration, Daria gave the two women a third dimension and fleshed \nthem out.  A few minutes later, she was done.  Rhyme and Reason stood stiffly in \nthe center of the throne room with their eyes closed.\n\n&quot;That\'s really good, Daria.  They look very real.  So, all we need to do is toss\nin a very basic AI program and fill them with their dialog from the book.  There\nwe go.&quot;  Marvin stepped back to allow the princesses to walk over to a pair of\nstools in the corner.  &quot;I understand that you are a novelist, Daria.&quot;\n\n&quot;Not really.  I want to be one, though.  Right now, I\'m doing a lot of writing,\nand most of it\'s kind of bad.  We\'ve only met once; I\'m surprised you remember\nme.&quot;\n\nMarvin smiled.  &quot;I remember most things.  You made a very strong impression that\ntime we were all eating at that Chinese restaurant.  We were discussing the \nadmissions process here at the Institute, as I recall.  I never did get a chance\nto ask you about your impressions of Raft College.&quot;\n\n&quot;I like being there, if that\'s what you\'re asking.&quot;  Daria hopped up onto a low\ntable and sat down.  &quot;Like you said, everything\'s a lot more formal than I\'m\nused to.  I\'m guessing it\'s because of its roots back in the 19th century and \nthey never bothered to change the school\'s culture.&quot;\n\n&quot;That\'s likely true.  I\'ve been up there a number of times.  Last time, it was\nabout a year ago, I was giving a talk on neural networks.  So tell me, what have\nyou written so far?&quot;\n\n&quot;Nothing all that good.  When I was a senior in high school, I wrote a story \nabout flesh-eating zombies that got rejected by [i:2kjomcip]Musings[/i:2kjomcip].  That one was\nkind of bad, and I\'m sort of glad they turned it down.  Recently, I wrote another\nstory that was part of a class assignment, and I sent that one in to a children\'s\nmagazine.  That one was pretty good, I really enjoyed writing it.&quot;\n\n&quot;Maybe that\'s what you should concentrate on, if that\'s what you enjoy.  A lot\nof what\'s out there in children\'s literature is excruciatingly bad.  I\'ve seen\nsome of the books my grandchildren have; the bar seems to be so low that someone\nwho has talent like that lady who writes those Harry Potter books can make a huge \nimpression.&quot;\n\n&quot;I guess so.  The thing is, I keep thinking that I ought to be writing \'serious\' \nfiction.  But hardly anyone reads that stuff.&quot;\n\nThis time, it was Marvin who shrugged.  &quot;I\'m no expert on literature, Daria.  All\nI am is some guy who likes to tinker around with machines.  Just do what you want\nto do, and try not to be your own worst critic.  That\'s a trap that\'s snared too\nmany of my students.&quot;\n\n&quot;Okay.  My mom wants me to go to law school, but I\'m resisting that.  I think if\nI can get something published before I graduate, I can put her off.&quot;\n\n&quot;Just tell her that there\'s too many damn lawyers in this country, and the new\nones are having a having a hard time paying off their student loan debt.  Then\ndo whatever you want.&quot;  He turned to look at the princesses.  They were still\nsitting on the pair of stools, staring blankly at the wall.  &quot;You have a few\nyears to worry about that stuff.  Right now, let\'s see if we can get these girls\nto do something interesting.&quot;\n\n(---)\n\nThat evening, Daria and Sam ate in the cafeteria and went to see [i:2kjomcip]The Lion in\nWinter[/i:2kjomcip], shown by the film society in one of the smaller lecture halls.  \nThere was a party going on in the courtyard when they returned to Sam\'s dorm, \nbut neither of them felt like socializing.  &quot;I think we\'re each others\' best\ncompany,&quot; Daria said sheepishly as they climbed the stairs to his floor.\n\n&quot;I agree,&quot; Sam typed.  &quot;Being around all those people makes me feel uncomfortable.&quot;\nSam opened his door and they quickly went inside.  &quot;I like them very much, but\nmuch of the time, I can\'t handle the stimulation.&quot;\n\nDaria nodded.  &quot;So what do you want to do?&quot;\n\n&quot;It\'s still early.&quot;  He plopped down on the chair next to the window.  &quot;We could\nstay here.  I could put something on, if you like.&quot;  He waved at the row of vinyl\nrecords on the shelf next to her.  &quot;Pick out something interesting.&quot;\n\n&quot;Okay.&quot;  Daria smiled slightly and looked over Sam\'s record collection.  They\nwere neatly arranged by genre and individually wrapped in plastic sleeves to\nprotect the sleeves.  She didn\'t know much about jazz, so she skipped over that.\nThe classical LPs were ordered by composer; it was a bit confusing because Sam\nsubdivided them by the catalog numbers of the compositions.  Daria knew as much\nabout classical music as she did about jazz.  \n\nShe then studied his collection of more popular music.  Many of the records were\nby musicians she\'d heard of, such as Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, but she was \nnever an enthusiast of their music.  Finally, she settled on Fleetwood Mac\'s\n[i:2kjomcip]Rumors[/i:2kjomcip] LP.  &quot;I\'ve always liked this record, Sam.&quot;\n\nHe nodded, then got up to take the record from her hands and place it on the\nturntable.  After he set the needle down, he took Daria\'s hand and led her back\nto his chair.  &quot;This will last for twenty minutes, then I will need to turn the \nrecord over.&quot;\n\nDaria settled onto his lap.  &quot;Then I\'ll have to get up again.&quot;  The first track,\n&quot;Second Hand News&quot;, filled her ears.  &quot;I love this song.  I don\'t know why, but \nI just do.  Did I tell you that my friend Jane is coming up here in a couple of\nweeks?&quot;\n\n&quot;No, you did not, DeeDee.  It will be good for you to see her again.  I know how\nmuch you miss her.&quot;\n\nDaria reached up to brush her hand through Sam\'s light-brown hair.  &quot;Yeah.  But \nwhat\'re you gonna do?  Won\'t you miss me?&quot;  \n\nHe nodded.  &quot;Of course I will.  I will miss you a lot.  But you will be with me\nthe following weekend, which is Thanksgiving.  I look forward to that.&quot;\n\n&quot;I do too.  Maybe we could drive up to see New Hampshire on the Friday or Saturday.&quot;\n\n&quot;We could.  You will have to do the driving, though.  I don\'t have a license.&quot;\n\nDaria stared up at him.  &quot;You don\'t have a driver\'s license?  Really?&quot;\n\n&quot;I never needed one,&quot; he answered, shrugging.  &quot;You can get around here very \neasily without a car, and my family did not encourage me to get a license.&quot;\n\n&quot;Okay, I guess I can see that.&quot;  Daria chuckled.  &quot;I\'m probably the last person\nwho should be teaching you.  Did you know that I had to take the driving test\nsix times before I got my license?  The examiner was actually kind of scared of \nme.  Maybe this Summer, you could take a driving class.  I\'m sure your brother-in-\nlaw must know someone.&quot;\n\n&quot;I suppose so.&quot;  His lowered his face to kiss Daria on the top of her head.  Side\none came to an end.  Sam gave Daria a nudge and she got off his lap.  He turned\nthe record over to Side two and set the needle down.  The slow drumbeat and guitar \nof &quot;The Chain&quot; poured out of the speakers.  \n\nBefore he could sit down, Daria wrapped her arms around Sam\'s stomach; it was as \nhigh as she could easily reach.  They stayed there in the middle of the dorm room \nfor a few minutes, listening to the music.  Sam\'s hand pressed on the back of\nDaria\'s head, holding her close to his chest.  &quot;You know that I love you, DeeDee.&quot;\n\nDaria\'s head jerked up.  It was Sam\'s voice, very low and soft, barely a whisper,\ncoming from his own lips.  &quot;You just talked again!&quot;\n\nHe nodded gravely.  &quot;Yes.&quot;  Daria had to pay close attention as he slowly spoke.  \n&quot;I have been practicing.  It is much easier for me when am alone or with someone \nI trust implicitly.&quot;\n\nDaria\'s cheeks flushed red.  &quot;I like hearing you speak.  Am I the only one who\ncan hear you?&quot;\n\nHe nodded again.  &quot;I am keeping quiet about it for now.  Everyone is so used to\nme being mute that I think it would shock them if they knew that I can speak.\nI do not feel any particular obligation to tell the rest of the world about it.\nBut I believe that I can share this confidence with you.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, I feel privileged.  When I was younger, I didn\'t like to speak much to the\nother kids, and when my parents asked why, I told them it was because I didn\'t \nhave anything to say to them.  I guess you feel the same way a lot of the time,\nright?&quot;\n\n&quot;Sometimes.&quot;  Sam\'s hand played with her hair, then felt the back of her neck.\n&quot;I feel very privileged knowing you too, DeeDee.  I do not believe that most\ngirls would have the patience to put up with me.&quot;\n\nWhew, that\'s an understatement, Daria thought.  &quot;I think you\'ve figured out that\nI\'m not most girls.  Most girls are like my sister, Quinn.  She was the type who\nwould let her friends pass judgment on her decisions.  She would never go out \nwith you, not because she disliked you, but because she worried about what her\nfriends might think.  Quinn is starting to think for herself now, so there\'s \nhope.&quot;  \n\n&quot;Okay.&quot;  Sam loosened his hold on Daria and sat back down on the chair.  &quot;I know\nI will have to get up again to change the record,&quot; he said absently.  Then he \nfocused his attention back to Daria, who was still standing.  &quot;I would rather \nthat you did not tell anyone that I can use my voice.&quot;\n\nDaria shook her head.  &quot;No, I won\'t tell anyone.&quot;  She lowered her own voice to\na whisper.  &quot;But when we\'re alone like this, I\'d like to hear you speak.&quot;  \n\n&quot;I would like that too.  For now.&quot;  He held his hand up for Daria to take.  With\nthe slightest of tugs, Sam pulled Daria back down onto his lap.  \n\nDaria landed with an \'oomph\'.  After she made a show of dusting herself off, she\nsaid, &quot;I was thinking, maybe when Jane comes, you can give her a tour of the lab.\nI think she would like that.&quot;\n\nSam shrugged.  &quot;If there is time.  Were the two of you supposed to go look at\nJane\'s future dorm and the rest of her campus?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah.&quot;  Daria smiled.  &quot;I still can\'t get over being able to hear you.  And \nnobody else knows?&quot;\n\n&quot;No.&quot;\n\nThe last track of the album, &quot;Gold Dust Woman&quot;, came on.  &quot;I guess you\'re gonna\nhave to get up soon.  Can I pick out something else when this one ends?&quot;\n\nHe nodded.  When the song faded out and the needle hit the endless track \nsurrounding the label, Daria got up to attend it.  She\'d only handled a record\nturntable a couple of times in her life; by the time she was old enough to\nappreciate music, everything had switched over to cassettes and CDs.  Gingerly,\nshe lifted the tone arm and moved it to its resting place.  She then carefully\nlifted the record from the platter and slid it back into its rice paper sleeve.\n\nFrom the approving look Sam gave her, Daria assumed that she\'d done it correctly.  \nInstead of a record, she chose to turn the radio on.  The tuning dial had a nice,\nheavy feel too it as she spun it over to the left side of the spectrum.  These\nwere mostly college radio stations; Daria remember something about \'college music\',\nfrom when she mentioned to those two dopes back in Highland that she liked Kate \nBush.  She found the Raft College station, WRFT 91.5 FM; it had no particular \nformat and they played an eclectic mix of music and public affairs shows.  At \nthe moment, they were playing a recording of very odd jazz music.  She turned \nthe volume down.\n\n&quot;They are playing Sun Ra,&quot; Sam said.  &quot;I have that recording on a hard drive\nsomewhere.  He died some years ago.  He was a genius who never got the recognition\nhe deserved.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah.&quot;  She stood next to him, letting him wrap his arm around her waist.  &quot;Uh,\nyou know, it\'s been about a month since I, uh, started taking the Pill.  My \ndoctor said that it\'s okay if we, y\'know, stop using the protection.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes?  Well, good.&quot;  A long pause.  &quot;I did not like using those things.

Corey looked at him reproachfully. And then punched him. \n \nNormally, a security guard would break up any such conflict, but as they were all still outside, the fight took both of them careening into a table, sending food and plates everywhere and causing a mob of girls to turn on them. Jane smiled a proud smile at Daria, who looked a little confused.\n\n“I honestly didn’t expect that to happen.”\n \n“We better move off to a safe zone before you get the blame, you wing-flapping butterfly, you.”\n \n---\n \nMs Li and Superintendent Cartwright sat in Ms Morris’ office, Ms Morris standing. They’d been sitting (and standing) for a while now, wondering when Vitale was going to be done with the office. Li had taken a laptop with her and was scanning Internet &amp; wi-fi access across the school, using a program Cartwright [i:3hnhn94w]could not see honest[/i:3hnhn94w].\n \n“Word keeps getting out,” she muttered. “People are going to blogs, news sites, email, [i:3hnhn94w]Twitter, ORLY OWLS-[/i:3hnhn94w] The longer this carries on...” She frowned. “Wait, someone just updated the Lawndale Lowdown website. LANDON WOULDN’T...”\n \nA few hours earlier:\n \nJodie had spent a good few hours watching the zoo outside, overhearing jocks moaning their arses off about how “unfair” things were, watching Li completely fail to handle things, and Sandi’s cabal discussing how to carve up people. In principle, she was utterly opposed to what Daria had done: Li was a tyrant but needed for order, as this collapse showed. A weakness in the regime was causing chaos and destruction.\n \nIn practice, JESUS WEPT a lot of people were arseholes. Really big ones. With irritable bowel syndrome. And the bowels were in people’s mouths and oh god she’d made herself feel ill.\n \nSo in between periods, she’d given up and said to some of the more reliable Lowdown contributors: “I think we should report on what’s happening now.”\n \n“[i:3hnhn94w]You[/i:3hnhn94w] think that?” said Jenna without thinking, before “er, and I mean-“\n \n“We’re a school newspaper, this is school news, and I’m sure we’re capable of being objective. What do you say?”\n \nThey said “yes”, and thought “ha ha up yours Principal Li!”.\n \nBy the start of lunch, Breaking News updates were all over the Lowdown website, covering the growing pro-bye protestors (and how Li had been seen slipping them some better signs), the lawyers, whinging football players, the lunch violence, and the popular girls trying to spread rumours.\n \nThe Glee Club was [i:3hnhn94w]very[/i:3hnhn94w] interested in that last one.\n \n“But I’m sure Sandi [i:3hnhn94w]doesn’t[/i:3hnhn94w] have herpes really,” said Linda Capello as she walked past the largest crowd of boys she could find.\n \nWithin ten minutes, both sides were reported to be STD-riddled, abortion happy, utterly frigid communists. \n \nWithin fifteen minutes, every news website and blog covering Lawndale was repeating the Lowdown’s reports as “Exclusive” and “from our sources”. This, sadly, included a spoof article that school funds had been spent on a ground-to-air missile system, called the Fast Air-Responding Tactical System. \n \n----\n \n“Landon has betrayed us!!!” screamed Li, helping herself to gummi bears from Morris’ desk (she [i:3hnhn94w]really[/i:3hnhn94w] missed her gin). “Give me FIVE SECONDS and I’ll have the Lowdown NUKED off our servers!!”\n \nCartwright frowned. “That may be too-“ Then he saw a headline mentioning rumours that he was approving the strong-arming of students. “NUKE NUKE [i:3hnhn94w]NUKE!!![/i:3hnhn94w]”\n \nLi nuked – and, in her haste, managed to delete the entire Lawndale High website. \n \nA minute later, live reports claimed that Lawndale High was attempting to ban the Internet on school grounds. A minute after [i:3hnhn94w]that[/i:3hnhn94w], someone on a message board had created a meme with a V For Vendetta mask superimposed on a Catholic schoolgirl, entitled “Studonymous” and talking about “banning school on Internet grounds” (it made sense to the guy at the time).\n \n---\n \n“Well, we lasted as long as could be expected,” said Jodie.\n \n“Li hasn’t shut the [i:3hnhn94w]printers[/i:3hnhn94w] off,” said Jenna.\n \n“So she hasn’t.”\n \n---\n \n“One dollar per Lowdown!” called out Upchuck, waving copies of the free paper in front of hungry journalists.\n \n---\n \nOn the roof, Daria finished her meal and looked up at the news helicopter circling the school. “I wonder what they think they’ll see?”\n \n“At the moment, us,” said Jane. She thought about this, then waved at the chopper.\n \n“Don’t respond, it just encourages them.”\n \n---\n \nLi was getting the two-pronged strike of becoming sober [i:3hnhn94w]and[/i:3hnhn94w] coming down from a caffeine rush. She was trying to pour whole sugar packets down her throat to compensate, but the sense of everything slipping from her – and only being able to cover [i:3hnhn94w]six[/i:3hnhn94w] cameras at once from the laptop – was too much for a more sugar rush to overcome.  And Vitale was taking too long.\n \nCartwright was on the phone, screaming “do [i:3hnhn94w]anything[/i:3hnhn94w] to prevent leaks from Oakwood, ANYTHING!”, and looking like he wanted to cry.\n \nLi checked the roof camera feeds. [i:3hnhn94w]Morgendorffer and Lane[/i:3hnhn94w] were there, removed from any chaos they’d caused. So far they’d proven untouchable. On the other hand, there...\n \n“Mr Cartwright, I have a plan but it’s... not quite legal-“\n \n“Oh dear I need to use the bathroom!”\n \nShe watched him go, then turned to Morris: “I need you to pass some word on.”\n \n---\n \n“Lawndale High is in [i:3hnhn94w]really[/i:3hnhn94w] bad shape, Mr Vitale-“\n \n“-which is why we’re advising full-on lawsuits and threats. Let’s face it, [i:3hnhn94w]we[/i:3hnhn94w] do well out of long, costly negotiations, don’t we?”\n \nHelen began to chuckle. “Well, Mr Vitale. Your... [i:3hnhn94w]reputation[/i:3hnhn94w] may not do so well.”\n \n“Ooooh, we might lose a difficult case, that’s certainly never happened to us before. As long as we mitigate the loss, and frankly that’s not hard here-“\n \n“Mr Vitale, Jim, Jimbo... You’re a big cabal of bastard cunts, with you being the bastardiest cunt of them all, and [i:3hnhn94w]I’m[/i:3hnhn94w] a self-employed lawyer who has never had a ‘big’ client. A long, costly negotiation that doesn’t end in a crushing victory, [i:3hnhn94w]against me?[/i:3hnhn94w]” She smashed her fist onto the desk in front of him. “You’ll look like ONE SORRY FUCKER, Jimmy-Jim-Jim!

When it comes to fighting the Man, I [i:3hnhn94w]am[/i:3hnhn94w] an Anti-Christ, and YOU’RE the Maniest Man who ever.... MANNED!”\n \nVitale was quiet for a few seconds, and then said “that was a highly articulate and well thought-out outburst, Helen. Apologies, in writing, from Lawndale High to Daria Morgendorffer, Jane Lane, and Anthony DeMartino in return for waiving the suits?”\n \n“Apologies and some money.”\n \n“$200 each.”\n \n“Oh, big spenders,” she sneered. “Done. And be glad they’re both lazy girls and will be happy to end things quickly.”\n \n“So you say. We’ll discuss Mr Sherman another time. Oh, and entirely off the record?”\n \n“Go ahead.”\n \n“Your passion is [i:3hnhn94w]extremely[/i:3hnhn94w] attractive, Helen. If you’re not doing anything tonight-“\n \nShe headbutted him, right in the teeth.\n \n“HAHA OFF THE RECORD BITCH, I’M UNTOUCHABLE!”\n \n[i:3hnhn94w]It was worth a try OW OW OW[/i:3hnhn94w] he thought.\n \n---\n \n“The pro-byes protestors are singing the national anthem – but don’t know half the words,” reported Jane.\n \n“Good for them.”\n \nThe roof door slammed open. Daria recognised Les, Chipmunk, Evan, Jennifer; four of the Lions, including a rather tense Joey; whatsisname from the canteen and some friends; two volleyball players. A sizeable crowd. Angry. Between her and the door.\n \nShe slipped her hands into her jacket pockets and stood straight, forcing her face to be neutral. “I swear, I gave at the office.”\n \n“Funny,” spat Evan. “You’re always such a [i:3hnhn94w]funny[/i:3hnhn94w] bitch, aren’t you.”\n \n“Come to this, has it Evan?” asked Jane, her voice flat. “I thought better of you.”\n \n“Oh great, more holier-than-thou crap. Well you two-“\n \n“How’s things back there, Joey?” called out Daria. \n \nHe didn’t respond, looked instead to the others, looking reassurance.\n \n“I don’t see the other two J’s. Why is that?”\n \nSiobhan stepped forward, [i:3hnhn94w]smiling[/i:3hnhn94w]. “You don’t think your fancy words are going to help [i:3hnhn94w]now[/i:3hnhn94w] do you?”\n \n“Why break the habit of a lifetime?” She kept looking at Joey. “Come on, Joey. While you’re part of a crowd, it may seem like everything will be okay, but once you’re on your own, when you go back to Jeffy and Jerome, and they [i:3hnhn94w]weren’t[/i:3hnhn94w] there? Mack or Kevin either. Or when you’re on your own.”\n \nJoey was looking more and more nervous, and one of the volleyball players was starting to sweat too. Joey glanced towards the door, then at the other Lions; he froze in the face of their glares.\n \n“Oh let’s just [i:3hnhn94w]shut her up[/i:3hnhn94w],” said Evan.\n \n“Before you do,” said Daria, taking her hand – and her phone – out of her pocket, “did you know I have my sister on speed dial? Joey, make or break.”\n \nJoey left. One of the other Lions rolled his eyes and went to shut the door, saying “you really think those freaks will get here in ti-“\n \nHe had to stop talking on account of Andrea’s fist. \n \n“I didn’t, no, but isn’t it nice to be surprised,” said Daria. \n \nThe Maleficent Eleven piled onto the roof, Quinn at the front with the biggest and meanest flanking her, eleven sets of knuckles cracking. One of the volleyball players quietly peed herself.\n \n“Slutty Girl, Koichi, square escort duty!” yelled Quinn. “Everyone [i:3hnhn94w]else[/i:3hnhn94w] – [b:3hnhn94w]HEY HO LET’S GO![/b:3hnhn94w]”\n \nEvan began to speak, marking him out as the leader; Quinn leapt forward and delivered the[i:3hnhn94w]mother of all headbutts[/i:3hnhn94w]. The roof erupted into a free-for-all, while ‘Slutty Girl’ and Koichi delivered a groin-kick-face-punch combo on Siobhan and then began to haul Daria &amp; Jane away. Daria glimpsed a Lion thumping Andrea and taking blows to the gut; Dave throwing someone [i:3hnhn94w]through[/i:3hnhn94w] the roof hut; Shane down in seconds crying in pain; Shaggy and Burnout back to back, lashing out at anyone near; Angel taking a blow to the face, dropping, and then elbow-striking knees;  Spike being football tackled but dragging a screaming basketball player by the crotch with him; Scarlett throwing her trenchcoat over a girl’s head and then whacking the blinded opponent.\n \nBefore Koichi and Whatsername shoved Daria through the door, she saw Quinn punching Evan with his own fists, yelling “STOP HITTING YOURSELF! STOP HITTING YOURSELF!”.\n \n“Can’t believe I saw anything in him!” said Jane as they fled down the stairs. “He fights [i:3hnhn94w]worse[/i:3hnhn94w] than a girl!”\n \nThe two exited the stairs – right in front of the hockey player that had worked with Siobhan earlier. Armed.\n \n“Hi. I’m the [i:3hnhn94w]insurance policy[/i:3hnhn94w].”\n \nIn the background, Stacy and Tiffany had just wandered in; both were frozen, confused. The player growled “beat it!” at them. Stacy shut her eyes, stiffened, and barked out “leave it out, sunshine, we run a [i:3hnhn94w]clean[/i:3hnhn94w] club round here!”. Then, in a totally different tone of voice, “This is the most unacceptable behaviour, if you continue this I’ll be forced to-“\n \nShe swung her hockey stick, just to scare Stacy off, and was [i:3hnhn94w]really[/i:3hnhn94w] surprised when Stacy grabbed it, high-kicked her hand to force it open, headbutted her, and then delivered an elbow blow to the back with a cleansweep to the feet once she was bent over.\n \n“[i:3hnhn94w]Even in this hell, there is justice,[/i:3hnhn94w]” hissed Stacy, before turning to Daria and thrusting up a rock-out symbol: “YEEEAAAAHHHH! FIGHT THE MAN EH?!?!?!”\n \n“...thanks, Stacy.”\n \nThe outcasts headed off, leaving an enemy unconscious and Tiffany scratching her head. “Whaaaat juuuust happeneddd?”\n \n“I don’t know,” whimpered Stacy.\n \n---\n \nJoey [i:3hnhn94w]skidded[/i:3hnhn94w] to a halt in the cafeteria, crying out to his friends: “There’s a fight going on up on the roof and they were going to try and do in that weird girl and I didn’t think we should and [i:3hnhn94w]what should I do?![/i:3hnhn94w]”\n \nJeffy and Jamie blinked. “Could you repeat the....” “...all parts?”\n \n“Some people ganged up on a girl?!” It was Robert, one of the biggest players in the Lions. “I can’t be holding with that! I’m heading up there!”\n \n“It’s the fight with Killer Quinn, you can’t miss it!”\n \nJamie began thinking with his penis. “I have to help Quinn!”\n\n“I... guess we have to help Jamie and Robert then?” said Jeffy, confused.\n \n“Guess so! I’ll show you all the way!”\n \nUnnoticed by them all, Bob the punk rose up from his table. He never misbehaved on school grounds, but [i:3hnhn94w]this[/i:3hnhn94w] was one of the unwritten exceptions. (Actually, it was written. He’d written it, in biro, in the back of his English book.)\n\nAlso unnoticed was Tom, rising with a look of black murder on his face. \n \n---\n \nThe fight spilled down the stairs. Les saw the fallen hockey player, grabbed the stick. Andrea saw the fallen hockey player, grabbed the [i:3hnhn94w]player[/i:3hnhn94w].\n \n“That’s CHEATING!”protested Les before he got a head upside his head.\n \n---\n\n“There’s a fight breaking out and Quinn’s freaks are whaling on our guys!” cried out someone.\n \nAs one, every hockey player, basketball player, and soccer player- all genders and years – got up and armed themselves with sticks, chairs, and leftover food.\n \n---\n \n“Look! The jocks are getting hit!” said one Chess Club member to another.\n\n“THE UPRISING HAS BEGUN! [i:3hnhn94w]PAWNS TAKE KNIGHTS![/i:3hnhn94w]”\n \n \n---\n \n“Hey guys, there’s a [i:3hnhn94w]fight[/i:3hnhn94w] going on!” yelled Kevin to every male in earshot.\n \n“Who’s fighting who?”\n \n“...I dunno, but it’s a [i:3hnhn94w]fight[/i:3hnhn94w], bro’s!”\n \nThey all cheered and got up, and half of them began to hit each other, reasoning that they might as well get stuck in where they were.\n \n---\n \nDaria and Jane entered Maths class, reasoning nobody involved would be coming [i:3hnhn94w]there[/i:3hnhn94w].\n \nMr Ewing woke up, startled. “Are you... are you... [i:3hnhn94w]you want to learn Maths outside of class?[/i:3hnhn94w]” He wept tears of joy.\n \n“I... didn’t catch that,” said Jane, who’d mentally ignored his boring voice.\n \n“Never mind.”\n \n“Huh?”\n \n---\n \nThe front door to Lawndale High burst open as fighting pairs tore through it, knocking aside the smaller security guards and carrying on into the grounds. \n \nA battered Quinn put down one guy but was cornered by a new one; Jamie leapt in, yelling “I’ll save you Q-“ before getting knocked out by one punch, but that distracted the other jock and stopped him seeing Bob, who punched the guy in his Little Jock. \n \nEvan, still beaten and bloody, had emerged, now with a chair in his hands, and he saw Quinn trying to get her breath back. He moved in, when someone tapped him on the shoulder. \n \n“Excuse me,” said Tom, before flooring him. “DAMN IT I HURT MY FIST ON YOUR FACE ASSHOLE!”\n \nFollowing was Robert, pulling someone off Scarlett and bodyslamming them; a basketball player with three nerds latched on, feebly hitting him with lunch trays; an unconscious Spike being used as a battering ram by the girl’s hockey team; Kevin trading punches with another guy, both going “WOOOOOOO!”.\n \nThe journalists looked at this for a second, and then one began to yell into a microphone: “No, you are seeing this, that girl just headbutted three people in quick succession – and, and yes, that Goth is being tag-teamed with sticks, clearly not a fair fight – and MY GOD! The junior Sloane is attempting a Ram Jam from the top of the steps! THIS MATCH IS OUT OF CONTROL!”\n \nUpchuck immediately appeared, yelling “Mouthguards, crotchguards! Buy your protection here! Buy one, get the other half price!”\n \nAs Quinn and Bob picked up and hurled a soccer player into the pro-bye protestors and Mr Thompson reverted to his mental glory days and ran forward grinning “FIIIIIIGHT!”, Jim Vitale exited the school to his car. He sighed and took out his phone.\n \n“It’s me. That contract with the school district – how easy is it for us to raise our fees again? [i:3hnhn94w]Excellent.[/i:3hnhn94w]\n \n---\n \n“Um... should we be doing something?” asked a security guard.\n\n“We’ve got no orders,” said Steve, drinking a brewski. “Ten on Quinn against Miguel.” \n \nTheir radios screamed in Ms Li’s voice, and Steve groaned. “Okay, okay. Full gear, everyone, including the riot shields.” When everyone blinked, he said: “Y’know, the dustbin lids. On the plus side TEAR GAS!!!”\n \n---\n \n“That’s right, I can see guards are now taking action against all comers,” said Jodie, reporting via mobile phone to Z93. “They’re using tear gas – I’m not entirely sure they’re allowed that...”\n \nNext to hear, Helen Morgendorffer was filming the scene with her camera phone and eating some snacks. It was [i:3hnhn94w]awesome.[/i:3hnhn94w]\n \n---\n \nThe wind had blown the teargas onto the road, grinding traffic to a halt. The security guards were pushing around the teacher’s cars in order to clear a secure space around the school entrance. A goggle-eyed vigilante in a paintball mask was running around, firing a paintball gun at anyone who tried to kick someone who was already down. A full half of the jocks and their parents were down, along with most of the Maleficent Eleven, but everyone who [i:3hnhn94w]was[/i:3hnhn94w] still up had long since forgotten what side they were on and had gone with Against Everyone. \n \nLi and Cartwright looked like a time-travelling Goering and Hitler who’d arrived in 2011 Berlin during a Gay Jewish Pride parade. \n \n“Mblblblblblb,” said Li.\n \n“Hello Mr President of the Board,” whispered Cartwright into his phone. “Yes, it is bad, Mr President. I agree, Mr President, someone needs to be fired over th- Oh. I’d like to talk to our lawyers- oh, they recommended... Thank you, Mr President. Goodbye, Mr President.”\n \n“Mblblblblbl.”\n \n---\n \n The police had arrived and, on general principle, were hitting everyone. That seemed to have stopped the fight, so Daria and Jane felt it safe to come out. They could tell the police were confused about who to arrest and how they could arrest this many people, to the extent the lead officer was saying “well they do go to a high school, that’s kinda like a prison already, right?”.\n \nQuinn staggered over to them, a shell-shocked Tom hanging onto her.  “Did I really do all that?”\n \nQuinn patted him. “Yep. You’re alright, Richie Rich!”\n \n“And this is why I don’t get involved in things,” whispered Daria, the eyes of a pioneering Internet programmer who’d realised they were partially responsible for 4chan. “I do a few small things and...”\n\n“I was wrong, sis. You really [i:3hnhn94w]are[/i:3hnhn94w] a punk. You could become [i:3hnhn94w]the second-greatest punk of all time[/i:3hnhn94w].”\n \n“Can’t. I bathe regularly.” She bit her lip. “Um, thanks for-“\n \n“Family is family, Daria. And fights are fights! ROCK!” Quinn let Tom go and headed off to find out who in the gang was still conscious. \n \nDaria couldn’t look at Tom without blushing. “You... um...”\n\n“Yeah, I’m amazed too.”\n\nShe bent in and kissed him. \n \nThey’d have kissed for longer if the teachers hadn’t appeared at the front of the school, O’Neill calling for attention: “Um, hello! Everyone! Can you all hear me okay at the back? Okay... It is my sad duty to have to inform you all that, ah, due to... personal reasons, we’ll have to say goodbye to Coach Gibson, Ms Morris, and Principal Li-“\n \n“SHE’S [b:3hnhn94w]GONE FOREVER!!![/b:3hnhn94w]” roared DeMartino before doing an air guitar. “[b:3hnhn94w]DUN[/b:3hnhn94w] DANNA-[b:3hnhn94w]DUN[/b:3hnhn94w] DANNA-DUN [b:3hnhn94w]DANANANAAA![/b:3hnhn94w]” He grabbed Ms Barch and started to dance. “[b:3hnhn94w]DUN[/b:3hnhn94w] DANNA-[b:3hnhn94w]DUN[/b:3hnhn94w] DANNA-DUN [b:3hnhn94w]DANANANAAA![/b:3hnhn94w]”\n \nThe crowd stared, trying to take the message in. And then Dawn Harris, always a mute and unconcerned figure hooked constantly to her iPod, opened up her backpack – and she took out a boombox and she raised it high.\n\nAnd what happened next will blow your mind.\n \n---\n \nOver a hundred people had left work early to join in the street party; they remembered Li from their own schooldays and wanted to see her out. Music of all genres thundered out from boomboxes – Dawn had hit the Turbo Bass on hers – and someone had set up a barbeque grill. Upchuck was selling commemorative plates, and Ms Defoe had quickly made an effigy of Li, which was being set on fire.\n \nKevin and Brittany were dancing, one of two dozen couples cutting a rug – including Quinn and Jamie, who looked like he was living the dream. Daria and Tom had been one before Daria had gotten too embarrassed to continue. (Stacy had changed into her Stacy the Nerd guise and was dancing with Jeffy, who hadn’t cottoned on to the fact that this contradicted her “I’m from Oakwood” cover story) Steve and the head police officer were happily sharing a joint with Shaggy.\n \n“I distinctively remember all the jocks and their parents being worried about Li leaving,” said Jane.\n \n“Yeah, but as students, they all still wished Li would go,” said Tom. “Humans are a contradictory lot.”\n \n“Also, after all [i:3hnhn94w]this[/i:3hnhn94w], the school’s going to be shut for a few days while the district tries to sort everything out,” said Daria. “And who doesn’t want t celebrate that?”\n\n“And everybody’s temporarily forgotten they hate you!” beamed Jane. “Maybe when we all come back to school-“\n \n“Yes, and maybe they’ll club together to buy me a pony.” Daria looked over the scene, as several of the teachers sang Glad It’s All Over. “Doing all this [i:3hnhn94w]scares[/i:3hnhn94w] me. I used to disengage because I didn’t think I could change much and I didn’t want the hassle of failure, but... if I can’t [i:3hnhn94w]control[/i:3hnhn94w] the change, then... Eh, I dunno. I may just be a wuss. Not very punk of me.”\n \n“Ah don’t second guess yourself!” said Jane cheerily, putting a matey hand on Daria’s shoulder. “You did a man’s job, Dekker. And for all your talk about disengaging, you do keep getting involved...”\n \n“Against my will.”\n \n“Never the less.”\n \n“And if it makes you feel any better, we can say you’re not a punk,” said Tom. “No, you’re Punk Version 2.0. You’re Punk 2011 Edition. You’re Punk II: Punkment Day.”\n \n“Thank god you didn’t say Electric Punkaloo.” She could see someone selling ice creams now. “Y’know, I think my work here is done. Let’s say we go get pizza.”\n \nThe trio headed off, leaving the party behind. The last thing they heard was a BBC reporter intoning “and there’s a strong feeling of community here, of reaching the end of a long, dark tunnel, and standing blinking in the light – and, and yes, I believe I can see the school’s Spanish teacher doing the Bartman...”\n \n\n\n\nTHE END','8a2358690256398f070f05d290a7bd2a',0,'YA==','3hnhn94w',1,1303305967,'',1108,3,0),(462434,31421,3,39,0,'78.144.60.243',1298238557,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Introducing - The Thread of Facepalm Bait!','And here\'s another.\n\nA criminal mastermind (I\'m sure he thought) in a move worthy of a Bond plot (I\'m sure, etc.) threatens to infect the farms of the United Kingdom with Foot and Mouth disease and &quot;devastate the UK\'s farming industry&quot; unless he is paid Four Million Dollars.\n\nThen believes that Her Majesty\'s Government have sent him a down payment.\n\nThen turns up in person to a rendezvous outside Johannesburg to collect the money.\n\nHe was due to [url=http&#58;//www&#46;bbc&#46;co&#46;uk/news/world-africa-12445190:316td3m2]appear in court[/url:316td3m2] on Friday.\n\nMartin.','70f4303baa7b0a2109eeee75c99c5f98',0,'EA==','316td3m2',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462435,31997,5,1108,0,'86.150.35.58',1298238585,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Confirmed: Daria not in Beavis and Butt-head revival','Every scene with Daria in will cut away just before, and cut in just after, she says anything.\n\n(Okay, not really)','5a1ffaeca4847350b706267a47a02a92',0,'','3sxrp7xq',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462436,32004,3,251,0,'75.111.21.37',1298238595,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Computer infected.

The snow had been cleared along the streets and around the restored houses down on the valley floor. By contrast, the former McMansions and high end homes that once lined the upper ridges of the mountains were shattered and broken. Victims of the quake that had been triggered when the bombs fell. Elias Rasmussen, the town\'s oldest resident, said it was God\'s will and good riddance to the eyesores. As one of the few who knew what the town looked like before the bombs and even before the rapid development that had changed the town completely, people let him rant and rave all he liked.\n\nBefore the bombs, Draper had been a town largely populated by members of one of four families; The Rasmussens, the Ballards, the Days, and the Summerhayses. Nearly anyone you met when visiting the town belonged to one of these families. There were other, smaller families that had minor prominence. Despite the increase in population, Draper remained a small town to its core, and nearly everyone knew everyone, by reputation if nothing else.\n\nAfter the bombs and the quake, the population was much smaller, and this time, mostly made up of stragglers and refugees who were escaping the poisoned lands to the north and east. Draper was the closest settlement for many in the western part of the former United States of Christian America, being only fifty miles from the edge of the so-called “Toxic Zone.” \n\nWhile there were still many members of the Summerhays and Rasmussen families still living in the town, the Days had long ago pulled up stakes and moved south, and the only remnant of the Ballards was the other oddity that made Draper stand out: Ballard\'s Iceberg Drive-In Cafe on what was formerly 123rd South, (Draper\'s main east-west drag, and was now known as Iceberg Avenue)  the only place in the entire former state of Utah where one could still get a decent cheeseburger, fries, and milkshakes.\n\nThe old roadside stand was a Draper landmark before the bombs, and once basic services had been restored to the town a consortium of locals had demanded that the Iceberg be restored. Volunteers to run the stand had been easy to locate, and soon it was up and running. It proved to have a useful psychological value as well. As the refugees began to arrive, the citzenry\'s first gesture of welcome, after medical and safety checks had been done, was to provide free ice cream from the Iceberg. It did wonders to provide a bit of much needed normalcy and happiness to the shellshocked survivors.\n\nAnd while the Ballards themselves were also long gone, other families had risen to prominence in the small community. One in particular stood out for everyone.\n\nMany of the survivors in other settlements wondered why the residents chose to live so close to the Toxic Zone. A good southerly wind could change the outer edges of the Zone in a heartbeat, choking the town with radioactive dust. It was a miracle, some said, that the settlement survived at all.\n\nThe reason for Draper\'s continued existence was currently sitting on the large balcony attached to the back end of the second floor of a 175 year old, twice remodeled house that was still known by the locals, even though no member of the family had owned it since the late \'90s, as the Mills Place.\n\nDaria Morgendorffer sat bundled in a white hooded parka on a deck chair on the balcony, looking up at the clouds and the falling snow. It had been over a year since the war, and the end had come for the pride-ridden and sinful United States of Christian America. 9/11 paranoia had given rise to a theocratic totalitarian state, which, once it had finished eradicating the other religions, began working on those individuals within its borders it found undesirable. Daria herself had been through her own personal Hell and had come out of it reborn and charged with a duty to keep the survivors safe. \n\nShe had been blessed with not inconsiderable abilities to do this. Not the least of which was being able to heal the sick and the maimed with a single touch and a prayer. \n\nDaria had relocated her family after the bombs dropped: her sisters, Quinn and Veronica, her best friend, Sheriff Amelia Lawless and her husband Robert, Amelia and Robert\'s children, and the Ruttheimer Twins, Brad and Brett. They weren\'t all related by blood, but after everything they had been through, they were as close as any family could be.\n\nDaria, her sisters, and their overweight wombat Upchuck lived in the Mills Place, while \n the Lawlesses lived in a house across the street. Brad and Brett lived in a small rebuilt apartment complex a couple of block from the houses. Not a day went by that they didn\'t see each other, what with Amelia, Brad, and Brett serving as Draper\'s police force. It made sense, Amelia being a former sheriff and the Ruttheimers having served as FBI agents. Naturally, the three of them served on the Town Council, as did Daria, although she insisted on being a non-voting advisory member.\n\nBut there was no Town Council business tonight. Tonight was a time to relax and enjoy the company of one\'s family, in honor of the first who had been chosen to save mankind from its folly. \n\nHis successor would join her own family in a few minutes. For now, though, Daria was content to enjoy the chill evening air and the soft fall of the snow around her. She let her mind drift and began to absently pray for the gift of being alive to see this with those she loved, in a community devoted to each other.\n\n“Merry Christmas, kiddo.”\n\nDaria\'s eyes opened and she turned to see her father, Jake, clad in white sitting on the other deck chair. He grinned broadly in that contented way he had. Daria felt her eyes water. She hadn\'t seen him since the night she took her leap of faith that had saved them all.\n\n“Dad...I\'ve missed you,” she whispered.\n\n“I know, kiddo,” Jake replied. He stood up and held out his arms. “Give your old man a hug, will ya?”\n\nDaria practically leaped out of the chair and into her father\'s arms. “Where have you been? Not that I\'m complaining, but you could have called or something.”\n\nJake and Daria smiled at each other at the joke. “What can I say, Daria, I\'ve been busy at the office.”\n\n“Well, okay, I forgive you,” Daria said, loosening her grip but still not letting him go. “I\'m glad you came.”\n\nJake sighed. “I wish I could say this was a social call, kiddo.”\n\nDaria looked at him, worry on her face. “Oh, God, they aren\'t going to drop more bombs are they?”\n\n“No, no, nothing like that. But it is something desperate. I think we better sit down first, though.”\n\nDaria reluctantly let her father go and the two resumed their seats. Jake leaned forward and began to speak.\n\n“Daria, what would you say if I told you that this world isn\'t all there is?”\n\n“I\'d say that I already knew that,” Daria answered.\n\nJake shook his head. “No, no, I don\'t mean other planets or stars or galaxies. I mean--”\n\n“Parallel universes,” Daria finished, a slight smirk on her face. Jake blinked.\n\n“How did you--?”\n\n“Come on, Dad, I studied quantum physics for fun and read science fiction as a kid. And after last year, do you really think the revelation that there\'s other universes than this one is going to shock me?”\n\nJake smiled again. “Guess not. But these other worlds are in danger. Several hundred of them have already been heavily damaged or destroyed outright.”\n“Destroyed?” Daria\'s eyes widened. “How is that possible? Who could--”\n\n“You.”\n\nDaria blinked and uttered a phrase she hadn\'t said in years. “Excuse me?”\n\n--Erin M.','53615cc55708831b0e1d60d1cbfdbeb4',0,'IA==','3uiz2mlq',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462486,31952,6,809,0,'68.160.253.99',1298252360,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: God Save The Esteem ep22: Anarchy in the Lawn-D (DONE!)','Too awesomely epic for words.  <!-- s:shock: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif\" alt=\":shock:\" title=\"Shocked\" /><!-- s:shock: -->  <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D -->  <!-- s:lol: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif\" alt=\":lol:\" title=\"Laughing\" /><!-- s:lol: -->','58b5d113e96536ba03a8e89d56dcf117',0,'','mk6vthhi',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462487,31952,6,1127,0,'122.149.127.224',1298252668,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: God Save The Esteem ep22: Anarchy in the Lawn-D (DONE!)','[quote=&quot;Charles RB&quot;:1n3t2la3]“[i:1n3t2la3]Even in this hell, there is justice,[/i:1n3t2la3]” hissed Stacy, before turning to Daria and thrusting up a rock-out symbol: “YEEEAAAAHHHH!

Just a quick little peek into one particular universe that lives in my head. I know my Daria-voice probably needs work, which is why I\'m letting her actions speak louder than her words here, and will do my best to improve it in future. Allusions to George Orwell, the Who, Stargate: SG-1, Family Matters (yes, that one), “In Any Other World,” &quot;Apocalyptic Daria&quot; (this one\'s really subtle), and various other bits of canons and fanons abound; not used with intent to plagiarize. I’d love to hear your thoughts.\n\nAlso, I am aware crossbows do not work like that.  Question’s weapon is modeled after the “crossbow” used by Huntress in the DCU, as shown here: <!-- m --><a class=\"postlink\" href=\"http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Huntress\'_Crossbow\">http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Huntress\'_Crossbow</a><!-- m -->\n\n----\n\nQuestion was quite pleased the rebreather built into her mask did such an excellent job filtering out the smoke and teargas billowing around what was left of the NID’s once pristine research and monitoring outpost.  She ran her tongue against her teeth, tasting blood but gladly noting they were all still firmly in place.  [i:2x40x4ic]New jaw guard attachment works great, too[/i:2x40x4ic], she thought, staggering into the emergency exit elevator and slamming her elbow against the pressure plate that would seal the door and get her the hell [i:2x40x4ic]out[/i:2x40x4ic] of here, before sagging against the blood-stained bo that was more responsible for holding her up right now than she wanted to admit, even as her shoulders shook in protest.  [i:2x40x4ic]It should work well.  Damn thing is more complex than most Space Shuttle parts.  Should send Urkel cheese wheel to thank him.[/i:2x40x4ic]  “Note to self,” she wheezed, “[i:2x40x4ic]not getting pummeled[/i:2x40x4ic] should be worked explicitly into all future escape plans.”\n\nShe took stock of herself in the chromed door ([i:2x40x4ic]Why is everything in here so damn shiny, anyway?  Some sort of compulsive need to examine themselves in the mirror every ten seconds?[/i:2x40x4ic]) as the elevator began to climb.  She had managed to remain sunk deep [i:2x40x4ic]inside[/i:2x40x4ic] herself up to now, in spite of more than a few blows to the head, so taking in every detail wasn’t at all difficult.  Spot of red on her left cheek, enough to show through the featureless mask but hopefully not need stitches.  A few singes here and there from someone who got a bit too close with a [i:2x40x4ic]Zat\'nik\'tel[/i:2x40x4ic] (two of which now jingled in one of her pockets, because, hey, souvenirs); a few tears here and there from 7.62mm armor piercers that managed to get past the outer layers of her suit and break the skin before being stopped; and several rips in her overcoat from some gnome-sized asshole that was compensating with a knife the size of Rhode Island.  She [i:2x40x4ic]hated[/i:2x40x4ic] when they messed up her coat.  Hopefully the concussion she’d left him with wouldn’t be so severe that he would forget that.\n\nAll in all, not bad for a fifty-to-one brawl.  [i:2x40x4ic]Still pissed about the coat, though, damn it.[/i:2x40x4ic]\n\nShe straightened as best she could, took a deep breath, and tensed and released all her muscles in sequence, starting from her neck and working her way down, as quickly as possible.  Shifted on her feet and rolled her shoulders and swayed her hips and flexed her wrists.  Nothing [i:2x40x4ic]felt[/i:2x40x4ic] broken or cracked, though she would certainly be doing a more thorough check when she was safe.  She took another deep cleansing breath --\n\nAnd nearly doubled over as she suddenly became aware of what felt like every part of her body throbbing in time with her thundering heartbeat.  She gasped raggedly.  [i:2x40x4ic]R-right.  And there goes the last of the adrenaline.[/i:2x40x4ic]  The fight was over, the flight was pretty much in the bag, and she was left trying to come up with good reasons why she [i:2x40x4ic]shouldn’t[/i:2x40x4ic] change her vigilante codename to [i:2x40x4ic]Blank Face, the Living Bruise[/i:2x40x4ic].\n\n“Enough,” she breathed deeply, forcing herself to ignore the pain and willing her pulse to slow before she red-lined and passed out.  “[i:2x40x4ic]Focus[/i:2x40x4ic].  You got the prize.  Get [i:2x40x4ic]home[/i:2x40x4ic].”  The elevator stopped, and she pressed against the side of the lift as the door opened with a chime that was far too pleasant and perky for her liking.  When no one started shooting and she couldn’t hear anyone laying in wait, she pulled the Emergency Stop plunger that would keep anyone downstairs from waking up and trying to recall the car, and stepped out into the short, well-lit hallway, ignoring the screeching of the elevator’s emergency bell. [i:2x40x4ic] Looks like I actually got everybody downstairs.  Cool.[/i:2x40x4ic]  She shuffled forward slowly, using her staff like a walking stick until she had almost reached the opposite door.  She stopped, straightened up once more, and slowly, carefully pulled the staff away from the ground.  When the world didn’t spin and she didn’t wind up on her ass staring at the ceiling, she nodded, collapsed the staff, and slid it back into its spring-loaded wrist holster.  She took one step forward, and then another, and decided she would be fine so long as she didn’t need to run any marathons anytime soon.\n\n[i:2x40x4ic]Keep thinking about it and you probably will[/i:2x40x4ic], she thought sourly.  She drew her crossbow and scowled at the crack along the the grip, the butt tainted rust-brown from caked, drying blood.  [i:2x40x4ic]Let her get too close.[/i:2x40x4ic]  When you had to smash someone in the face with a ranged weapon, you were obviously doing something wrong.  [i:2x40x4ic]Gonna have to spend some more time on the range to up my reaction time.[/i:2x40x4ic]  Question sighed, popping the cartridge release and pulling the spent magazine before grabbing another mag of bolts from its belt pouch and slamming it into place.  She pulled back the bow until it locked and flicked the lever to notch the first bolt, hoping the auto-loader wouldn’t jam after its rough treatment.  [i:2x40x4ic]I’ll give you a nice tune up and oiling later, Dick,[/i:2x40x4ic] she thought.  [i:2x40x4ic]Just, let’s hope for no more excitement.  This is my last round of party favors.[/i:2x40x4ic]\n\nLeveling the crossbow in front of her and resting her finger on the trigger, she jabbed the exit’s pressure plate --\n\nAnd cursed herself as she suddenly remembered just [i:2x40x4ic]where[/i:2x40x4ic] the emergency exit came out and had to stagger to the side to avoid being flattened by 300 pounds worth of falling bags of ice.\n\n[i:2x40x4ic]… Moron.[/i:2x40x4ic]\n\n*** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***\n\nThe Pangean bruises covering her body complained with gusto as Question dragged herself with one arm out of the gargantuan Mr Frosty ice chest that hid the emergency exit, sweeping her crossbow across a thankfully empty parking lot, and she thanked whatever act of random chance had led to the NID putting this particular hidey-hole underneath a Mr Quackey’s Gas and Go that actually closed at midnight.  What was going to come next would be much safer and more convenient for everyone involved if she didn’t have to worry about chasing off store clerks oblivious to the evil bastards milling like rats a mile beneath their feet.  She tugged the wrinkles out of her suit and straightened her coat, letting her hand rest momentarily over the shock-proof compartment holding the little harddrive she’d put so much effort into filling with evil government conspiracy secrets, and glanced up at the leering, phosphorescent yellow duck cheerily waving wearing travelers into the service station.  She tipped her fedora at him.  “Yeah.  You won’t be smiling in a minute or two, Creepy Cluck.”\n\nQuestion checked her watch as she staggered towards the gas pumps, and grinned tightly behind her blank face.  [i:2x40x4ic]Good.  Actually made up some time while I was playing Road Runner to the herd of Coyotes down below.[/i:2x40x4ic]  She pulled a cell-phone from her pocket and scowled at it briefly before starting to dial.  [i:2x40x4ic]Can’t wait till we get something more permanent for communications.  Using pre-paid disposable phones for much longer will bite us in the ass.[/i:2x40x4ic]  The only reason she didn’t complain to Power Girl more was because Big Blue knew the situation sucked just as much as she did.  It wasn’t like Urkel wasn’t working as hard as he could on a solution, and they were already asking him to do six impossible things at once with relatively [i:2x40x4ic]no[/i:2x40x4ic] money or resources, so it’s not like she could complain … at least in good conscience.  [i:2x40x4ic]Still, we’re going to need to get this settled before we try to get the Justice Society formally up and running.[/i:2x40x4ic]\n\nShe pressed the phone to her ear.  Much to her total lack of surprise, someone picked up on the first ring. [i:2x40x4ic]“O’Neil.”[/i:2x40x4ic]\n\n[i:2x40x4ic]Guess I’m not the only one who doesn’t sleep much.[/i:2x40x4ic]  Question pushed down her anger, reminding herself not for the first time this man and his team were actually on their side, more or less, despite the fact they were part of the System and surrounded by more than one kind of back-stabbing, slippery snake.  “Colonel,” she said in the Question’s voice, lower and more atonal even than her own, “you don’t sound happy to hear from me.  I’m hurt.”\n\nThere was a sharp intake of breath on the other end of the line, and the sound of someone dropping something breakable.  She smirked.  [i:2x40x4ic]“You.  Question.”[/i:2x40x4ic]  He sounded more put out and exasperated than anything else.  Good.  She liked it when he was in a good mood.\n\n“Yes.  Me Question, last time I checked.  I hope you’re not wasting time trying to trace the call [i:2x40x4ic]again[/i:2x40x4ic].”  She needed to get this over with if she was going to catch her train.  “So, can I interest you in two-score and change rogue NID agents hogtied, concussed, mostly unconscious and most likely needing to be put in traction as soon as possible?  All sorts of naughty files and enough NATO-certified small arms and illegally obtained [i:2x40x4ic]Goa\'uld[/i:2x40x4ic] weaponry to invade Soviet Russia in winter and get away with it.  One time offer.  Juicy, juicy.  Om nom nom.”\n\nA long pause on the other end.  Another sucked in breath and a rather colorful curse bitten off before it could really get off the ground.  Too bad.  [i:2x40x4ic]“Jesus Christ.”[/i:2x40x4ic]\n\nQuestion rolled her eyes.  “If you’re planning on asking him for buying advice, I’m going to have to take my offer elsewhere.  I need an answer before the Rapture, Colonel.”\n\nO’Neil sighed.  [i:2x40x4ic]“Alright.  General Hammond will turn me inside out once he learns where I got the info, but yeah, you bet your nightmarish little face I wanna know where the hell you are.”[/i:2x40x4ic]  He paused.  [i:2x40x4ic]“Say, why are [/i:2x40x4ic]you [i:2x40x4ic]just giving [/i:2x40x4ic]us [i:2x40x4ic]free information, anyway?”[/i:2x40x4ic]\n\nThe anger she had earlier suppressed threatened to rise again.  “Because Power Girl trusts you, in spite of what happened when she was supposed to be [i:2x40x4ic]safely[/i:2x40x4ic] in your care after nipping Black Saturday in the bud and getting two fifteen megaton ICBMs to the face for her trouble, and I trust her, and in spite of myself I’m more than slightly fond of you and your misfits.  More than that, we’re both trying to slay the same dragon, and it’s actually [i:2x40x4ic]mostly[/i:2x40x4ic] legal when you do it.  You take the high road, and I’ll take the low road, and I don’t really care [i:2x40x4ic]which[/i:2x40x4ic] one of us puts Kinsey’s ass in a sling first.  And besides, I wouldn’t be calling if I hadn’t already made sure I got what I need before your people tromp through the place.”  She blinked.  Had Black Saturday, really only been two years ago?  It certainly felt like another lifetime.  Before Daria Morgendorffer had lost Jane Lane.  Before the Question.  [i:2x40x4ic]Guess it was.[/i:2x40x4ic]\n\nAn almost pained moan.  She was getting really good at this.  [i:2x40x4ic]“Of course you did.  Look, you know I -- we’d all give anything if we could go back and --  She was supposed to be safe here, for cryin‘ out loud.  I still can’t believe she can even stand to be around us, after that.”[/i:2x40x4ic]\n\nQuestion couldn’t help shuddering as she briefly thought of the scars she had seen low on Power Girl’s stomach, or the day the Girl Scout had told her in choked whispers of waking up in the SGC infirmary and learning she’d been attacked by two undercover NID operatives while her body was so busy trying to keep her alive she was about as invulnerable as a silica wafer.  Told her about a near-fatal hysterectomy the fast and dirty way and being left to bleed to death.  All in the course of trying to drill into her exactly what these people were and how they treated metas and what they would do to her if they ever had the chance.  [i:2x40x4ic]And that doesn’t even count how[/i:2x40x4ic] Hardline [i:2x40x4ic]feels about the situation.

She was just the most likely, should the situation call for it, to use an actual axe.\n\n“You need to stop beating yourself up, Colonel,” she said, softening her voice as much as she thought she could get away with before sounding too much like … herself.  “She holds you all blameless.  And even if I’m not nearly so free with the second chances she hands out like PEZ, I do, too.  If I thought for one second you weren’t on the level, do you honestly think we’d have these lovely conversations?”  She shook her head.  “But I’m going to be late if we keep going on about the good old days.”  She rattled off a string of GPS coordinates.  “Got that?”  He grunted, obviously still wallowing in his guilt.  She thought of ice blue eyes and beautiful half-finished paintings that lay gathering dust.  [i:2x40x4ic]Know how that is, don’t I?[/i:2x40x4ic]\n\n“Good.  Mr Quackey’s Gas and Go station with a big duck you wouldn’t leave alone with small children on the sign.  Also, since I want to make sure no one leaves their little underground clubhouse before you get here, I’ve started a magnificent fire to block the primary entrance.  I’d bring marshmallows and chocolate and crackers if I were you.  The emergency entrance is behind the outdoor ice chest.  Good night, Colonel.”\n\n[i:2x40x4ic]“Fire?!  Wait, what --”[/i:2x40x4ic]\n\n“Oh, don’t worry.  They have insurance.”  She ended the call, walked up to the trailer-sized propane tank next to the storage shed-cum-main entrance to the NID’s hideaway, and began opening the valve, not stopping until she could hear a not-quite-alarming hissing.  She looked at the phone, keyed in the code that would set off the time-delayed micro-blast cap within (and conveniently obliterate all the traceable telephony components), set it down and backed away slowly, before tucking her crossbow into its holster, turning around, and jogging off as fast as her exhausted legs could carry her.\n\n\n[i:2x40x4ic]Three minutes to get to the bike.  Four minutes until a gas station explosion that, well, I’m going to regret not seeing, to be honest.  Five minutes until I’m long gone and this place is crawling with enough fire, police and EMT personnel to keep the rats from trying to sneak off into the night until O’Neil can get here with his merry band.[/i:2x40x4ic]\n\nHer body still protested vociferously, and though Mr. D’s lessons in pain management made ignoring that easy enough, she was really starting to wish she’d swiped some of those bags of ice.  She was going to [i:2x40x4ic]hurt[/i:2x40x4ic] in the morning.\n\nFor now, she had a fireball to outrun, a thug’s stolen motorcycle to ditch into a lake, a disguise to put on, and the 3:00 AM 67 Northwest Regional to New York out of the Amtrak Vermont RUD station to catch.  And another three hours of driving in the Question Mach (just [i:2x40x4ic]how[/i:2x40x4ic] Trent managed to name her customized Pontiac GTO that, or how the name had [i:2x40x4ic]stuck[/i:2x40x4ic], even the Question could not begin to answer) through backroads before she got to find out if the alibi she in place had held up against Helen’s scrutiny.  If her mother was even paying attention this week, that is.\n\n[i:2x40x4ic]Good thing I don’t need too much sleep, anymore.[/i:2x40x4ic]\n\nQuestion sighed as her feet pounded the gravel road, already knowing she wasn\'t going to sleep [i:2x40x4ic]at all[/i:2x40x4ic] tonight.

If you can can create a compelling universe with characters the reader can care about and a story that holds their attention, then you\'ve done a good thing. If you can draw a few allegories to real life and maybe teach a subtle lesson or two then more power to ya. But fiction writers don\'t create hard edged social critique and commentary, at least not usually. Writing critics and historians do that. The example I always use here is Shakespeare. Everyone forgets that in his day good old Billy was not creating high culture. He wrote for the masses.

I’ve got some ideas for a couple works, when we get out of here.  So who do you think these guys are?”\n     “I don’t think they’re from Earth, Jane.  There were too many units, plus it appeared they came from orbit.”\n     “So do you think they’re real aliens, or just a rebel group that had been hiding on the Moon or Mars and finally decided to make themselves known?” Jane asked as she sat up slightly, leaning back on her forearms.\n     “I’m going with real aliens this time, Jane.  The government broke or absorbed most of the rebel groups at the end of war, and the last group that operated in space, were responsible for the destruction of Mars Base Sara, and you know what happened to them.”\n     “Yeah, can’t believe Penny was stupid enough to get involved with a group like that.” Jane replied grimace.  “You think Aunt Amy is fine?”\n     “Probably, she headed to the ship when this mess all started. I talked briefly on my phone.”\n     “That’s good.  You’re family’s pretty cool, hate to see you loose any of it.”\n    “Me too, Jane. Me too.”  Daria placed her hand on top of Jane’s, when a wave of energy swept through the room(2).  In what seemed forever and just a second, the pair saw a thousand pasts and futures, where they meet earlier and later, were friend, enemy, lover, male and female, and variations in between.  When asked later about what they saw, each would only say that they saw themselves standing side by side, Daria wearing a Dress White Uniform with commander bars, &amp; Jane wearing a Red and White flight suit(3).    Then just as suddenly, the images vanished.   A slight change in the air pressure, the sound of seals closings, and the feeling of weightlessness informed everyone that everything had changed.\nFrom a far corner of the bunker, a man’s voice could be heard saying, “I don’t think we’re in Kanas anymore, Toto.”\n\n(1) I’m mainly using the Robotech timeline here with changes as needed for the story.  Instead of a Global Civil War, I’m using a series of escalating conflicts across the world that eventually lead to the formation of a unified world government, which is called the Unification War.  The main conflicts are ended with the arrival of the SDF-1 in 1999, but various smaller conflicts continue until 2003-4.  Daria graduates high school in June 2009 and is invited to attended the Launch Day celebrations by Aunt Amy along with Jane.\n(2) The wave of energy is the space fold sphere expanding to encompass Macross Island.\n(3) Daria\'s outfit is like Lisa\'s, while Jane’s flight suit is similar to Miriya’s after she joins Skull Squadron.','a118a5a560c153a603b765ccfb2e1a62',0,'','18qhtbhb',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462513,31952,6,1070,0,'205.188.116.16',1298258785,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: God Save The Esteem ep22: Anarchy in the Lawn-D (DONE!)','But Tom and Daria wouldn\'t be dating by that point because Jane would have kissed Tom.\n\nJane: I kissed your boyfriend - I kissed Tom.\n\nSeeing Daria stunned then running off\n\nJane: I\'m sorry!

It has a very good success rate once it\'s been established in a woman\'s system, but even after taking it for a month I\'d want to be a bit more careful. \n\nI hope Daria does break her desire to write &quot;serious&quot; fiction. If you can can create a compelling universe with characters the reader can care about and a story that holds their attention, then you\'ve done a good thing. If you can draw a few allegories to real life and maybe teach a subtle lesson or two then more power to ya. But fiction writers don\'t create hard edged social critique and commentary, at least not usually. Writing critics and historians do that. The example I always use here is Shakespeare. Everyone forgets that in his day good old Billy was not creating high culture. He wrote for the masses. His work was the equivalent of sitcoms basically.[/quote:85rne5vf]\nI agree.  Literary critics often look down on \'genre\' fiction such as science fiction or mystery, and so when MFA students set out to write their novels, they feel obligated to write \'serious\' fiction.  Anything else would seem trivial.\n\nI think Daria would be an excellent writer of children\'s fiction.  She enjoyed it immensely when she was younger; her best friends were probably characters from books.  A good fan fic might have eight-year-old Daria hanging out with Johnny Tremain or Ramona Quimby.','d41287f4a6c7c48b88459c5648327c4b',0,'gA==','85rne5vf',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462525,31203,5,1127,0,'122.149.98.60',1298262848,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The Revenge Of Wrestletalk','Final results for Elimination Chamber...\n\n&quot;The Rated-R Superstar&quot; Edge defeated Rey Mysterio, Kane, Wade Barrett, Drew McIntyre and Big Show in an Elimination Chamber match to retain the World Heavyweight Championship\n\nThe Miz defeated Jerry &quot;The King&quot; Lawler to retain the WWE Championship\n\nJohn Cena defeated Randy Orton, CM Punk, &quot;The Celtic Warrior&quot; King Sheamus, John Morrison and R-Truth in an Elimination Chamber match to become No. 1 Contender for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania XXVII\n\nThe Corre (Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel) defeated Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov to win the WWE Tag Team Championship\n\nAlberto Del Rio defeated Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston','f7c4d3ffa54b4a4f32161b013ef08f2d',0,'','eyx0mp4w',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462526,31835,3,1134,0,'195.132.200.122',1298262872,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: I\'m confused about politeness and respect','Hi to the people,\nI\'m sorry not answering earlier. I meant to but I thought I\'d let myself think about it all after, and I always thought about answering but somehow I didn\'t now how, and today as I meant to watch a film while pretending wanting to do my maths I had an internal monologue with an answer-post forging himself on his/its own.\nNow, my posts are usually so long when I try to explain something or explain that I\'ve explained myself something and yours are &quot;condensed&quot; and straight-to-the-point which is great and thanks for:\n[quote=&quot;Deref, Tim Bateman&quot;:1n8mce7d]I wish my French was as good as your English.\nI\'m with Deref on your English being better than my French[/quote:1n8mce7d]\nYour answers helped me to relativize &quot;the thing&quot;, as it sort of stressed me out sometimes, and not even when a similar thing happened: I would live during 24 hours without sleeping, and then I\'d think about it, about some of these situations, and have a panic attack. It happens that I don\'t sleep because most of the time I do nothing, I\'m lazy, but then I read something interesting about some subject and I want to know more and I end up doing stuffs all night, in a sort of excited state, knowing that if I sleep it\'ll still be interesting but I\'d have to push my brain to work, also it\'s so interesting I can\'t sleep there is more to do and read yet and if I stop I\'ll think of it instead of sleeping. Not what we were talking about, right.\nI mean, it\'s different in any country, it can\'t be that [i:1n8mce7d]bad[/i:1n8mce7d]. If politeness is different in any country, I can\'t be that bad if I mess up sometimes.\nThen, I know what I have to say, but it feels like it &quot;breaks&quot; the boardish conversation if I don\'t answer everyone? Like their answers aren\'t acknowledged or something.\nI\'ll just answer the big lines parts?\nSo, I\'m reading it all back, and as for breitasparrow said I somewhat felt like people may somewhat &quot;jump down my throat&quot; in someway, even while wanting a good, happy ending and even while seeing it wasn\'t happening. Then it got away when I read that sentence about how nobody was gonna do that. So, thanks too. It [i:1n8mce7d]was[/i:1n8mce7d] helpful.\nIt brings back memories (well, in fact, no -- it just made me think of that) of my mother telling me at 8 how I was a good girl at 5, when at 5 she told me how I was a good girl at 3, and at 10 how I was a good girl at 8 and you figured it out: she is now telling me how I was a good girl before my teenage years. And I tell her as I did that she told me that already when I was a kid, and she says I\'m wrong. She does the same thing with the dog, saying it didn\'t whined when it was littler, when it whined all nights even more than now. (I\'d joke saying the dog is a pussy, but I\'m not sure if the meaning of the word is mainly &quot;kitten&quot; and &quot;not courageous person&quot; or that other thing, seems to be that other thing after DuckDuckGo tells me to disable safe search)\nAs for the Asperger\'s syndrome stuffs, I\'ve been knowing it before, in fact I stumbled across a webpage about it when I was into reading all the DSM of every DSM version which was uneasy as I only found the lastest ones, and where was I? (now it\'s gonna be confused and disorganized like the first post) (I was like eleven, but it was more because of the &quot;sensory&quot; problems)\nThen I\'ve read books on it.\nFor some reasons I can\'t go to any psychiatrist or neurologist and I don\'t know if I\'d be taken very seriously if I did for that in my now state of being.\nI mean I saw a lot of psy* (therapeuts, chologists, chiatrists, chanalysts) when I was a kid. They always asked me the same questions despite their different professions and formations and the fact they were totally unrelated and didn\'t know each others, I could have made a chatterbot out of them, I always had to draw something and I just drew whatever a drawing I saw previously, I think they didn\'t know why I was here, they didn\'t asked me if I knew why I was here or why I thought I was here (to which I\'d have answered: because my teachers asked my mother to bring me there), and apart from parenthesis I won\'t have known any better. The latter I saw was a psychiatrist, only one seance, because I asked, and he did ask me why I was here. However, I didn\'t asked to see a psychiatrist, even less this one, I asked time to do my own research for whatever therapy I wanted, and my mother (again) just sent me there because some of her friends\' son had &quot;violence problem&quot; that &quot;dissolved with him&quot;. Then, she told me I won\'t go to any psywhatever anymore because I saw plenty and it was a loss of time and money. \nAlso, I was almost put in a psychiatric hospital (not a psychiatric department of an hospital, a psychiatric hospital), no joking, I had to visit it and have an examination and such. It was clean and light, not like in Batman, because you always think of it as creepy in a cool way... But it\'s like a school except with a large place all around and like a little city, beautiful in a conventional way outside, and then it\'s like a school mixed with a hospital. I guess I would have felt manipulated if I had been there.\nThen, I\'ve read some stuffs on psychology. Some on child psychology and development. It really mostly didn\'t &quot;stick&quot; with me. Same with Horney\'s book on female psychology. I guess it is just our era, if they analyzed the same stuffs in another one, seeing Philippe Ariès babbling, that would have been different, etc. Also that Piaget dude should have tried with more people, maybe. I couldn\'t get any of his books, but I\'ve read in a child development thingy for Licence 1 that he sometimes reasoned stuffs only from a reduced sample of kiddos. Like, a kiddo think a tree produce wind by waving his tree-arms. And he seemed to never ask them, or only superficially, why they thought that, their reasoning. Sometimes when I was a kid, I said I thought a thing because it seemed &quot;right&quot; to say it, even if I knew if it was wrong.\n(I didn\'t read these because I had seen lot of psy*, well maybe it played a little, but I didn\'t think of something like &quot;let\'s play their game&quot;, it just happened I scrumbled upon some website on the Internet about a related subject and decided to read stuffs about it.)\nI fear maybe they\'d not examine my case really well, and instead of telling me I don\'t have that syndrome because of some reasonable reason they\'d say it because I don\'t look like I have it. I mean I think I really don\'t look like I have it.\nAlso it\'s 05:11 AM here and I didn\'t sleep because I wanted to program but something happened that kept me away from doing this. So I thought I\'d program later, but I just read stuffs. My sleep habits are wrecked up. I hope I didn\'t said too much stupid stuffs.\nI\'m sorry for writing such long posts.','b8c732ba0aca9ede4e96f9b16cfa4c80',0,'oA==','1n8mce7d',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462527,32007,6,1198,0,'173.24.60.230',1298263055,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Summer Fling (COMPLETE)','This is an idea I\'ve been kicking around for a bit.

Any and all feedback is welcome.\n\nSUMMER FLING~ Part One\n\n[SCENE 1]\n\n(Int. The Zon. Daria sits at a table by herself, watching as Jane chats up some guy across the room. Trent, Max and Nick are carrying their equipment out the back door and loading the Tank. Daria cocks an eyebrow as Jesse sits down beside her.)\n\nJESSE: Hey Daria.\n\nDARIA: Hey Jess (Bt) Shouldn’t you be helping the guys?\n\nJESSE (shrugging): Told ‘em my back hurts.\n\nDARIA: O…K…\n\n(Daria stares at him a minute as he looks around the club with his usual blank face.)\n\nDARIA: So…\n\n(Jesse turns and looks at Daria.)\n\nJESSE: I need your help.\n\nDARIA: Okay….\n\n(Jesse seems to spot something across the room and looks slightly panicked.)\n\nJESSE: Just follow along, I’ll explain later. (Bt) And don’t kick me, those boots look painful.\n\n(Daria raises an eyebrow as Jesse scoots his chair closer and puts an arm around her shoulders.)\n\nJESSE (whispering quickly): Don’t kill me. Crazy groupie, 9 o’clock, told her had a girlfriend, details later. (takes a deep breath) Please?\n\n(Jesse gives her his most pathetic puppy dog look. Daria appears to debate for a moment as we see the backside of a brunette dressed in a black mini skirt and a dark blue baby tee step up by her shoulder. The girl crosses her arms and taps one knee high boot with irritation. Jesse glances up at the girl.)\n\nJESSE: Oh (Bt) Hey, Um… (looks confused for a moment) Susie?\n\nGIRL (irritated): It’s Sandi!\n\n(Daria’s eyes widen as she looks over her shoulder. Standing beside her is Sandi Griffin. Sandi’s hair is pulled into low pigtails and she wears a black velvet choker. Her eyes are lined more heavily than usual and her lipstick is a shade of red similar to Jane’s. Her tiny top reveals a navel ring. Daria and Sandi stare at each other in shock for a moment.)\n\nSANDI: Um, Quinn’s cousin, or whatever… Like, what are you doing here?\n\nDARIA (eyes narrowed): It’s Daria, and I happen to know the band. What are you doing here? Get lost on your way to Cashman’s?\n\nSANDI (stammering): I don’t know what you’re talking about. I like, always hang out on Dingo Street.\n\nDARIA: It’s Dega Street.\n\nSANDI: Right, that’s what I said.\n\nDARIA (rolling her eyes): Whatever. (Bt) Is there a point to this assault on my personal space and my intelligence?\n\nSANDI: Don’t think you’re confusing me with your big words, I don’t have any salt. (Bt) I came here to see Jesse, and offer him the privilege of my company for a few hours.\n\nDARIA: Too bad, he already has plans with his girlfriend.\n\nSANDI: And where exactly is this girlfriend I keep hearing about?\n\nDARIA: You’re looking at her. (thought VO) He is gonna pay for this.\n\n(Daria smirks a bit as she places a hand over the one on her shoulder. She turns toward a shocked Jesse.)\n\nDARIA: Isn’t that right, ya big lummox?\n\nJESSE (recovering): Uh, yup.\n\nSANDI (eyes wide): Surely, you must be joking?\n\nDARIA (deadpan): I never joke. (Bt) And don’t call me Shirley.\n\n(Jesse laughs and Sandi just stares at her, annoyed.)\n\nSANDI: I didn’t call you Shirley, Dharma.\n\nJESSE (annoyed): It’s-\n\nDARIA (holding up a hand to silence him): Don’t bother Jess.\n\nSANDI: I don’t get it. Why is a cool musician like you with a geek like her?\n\nJESSE (angry): Daria is not a geek. She’s funny, cool, and she’s smarter than you could ever hope to be!\n\n(Daria and Sandi, both stare at him in shock for a moment. Finally Sandi shakes her head a bit and gestures at Daria.)\n\nSANDI: But just look at her! She is a walking fashion don’t. And don’t even get me started on her hair and glasses.\n\n(The rest of the Spiral and Jane wander over to see what all the commotion is about as Jesse stands.)\n\nJESSE: I happen to like Daria’s style. Who cares if it’s not in all the fashion magazines? At least she’s unique and not some mindless drone.\n\n(Jesse looks over and notices the band.)\n\nJESSE: Tank loaded? (Max nods.) Good, gimme the keys, I’ll do the unload tomorrow.\n\n(Max tosses the keys at Jesse, who catches them in one hand. With the other he grabs Daria’s hand and pulls her up to stand beside him.)\n\nJESSE: Come on Daria. (wraps his arm protectively around her) We don’t have to sit here and listen to this twit.\n\n(The remaining five stare in shock as Jesse leads Daria out of the bar.)\n\nTRENT/JANE: Whoa.\n\nMAX: What the hell was that?\n\nJANE: It appears Jesse and Daria have been keeping a secret.\n\n(Sandi, glances at Jane and then back to the door. She grins evilly.)\n\nSANDI (thought VO): A secret huh? Not for long.\n\n[SCENE 2]\n\n(Int. The Tank. Jesse is driving, still looking angry, Daria is in the passenger seat, watching him.)\n\nJESSE: I mean I thought she was slow when she couldn’t take a hint, but I didn’t know she was that damn dense! Who the hell does she think she is?\n\nDARIA: Queen of the fashion drones.\n\nJESSE: Huh?\n\nDARIA: She is, or I guess was, the President of the Fashion Club at Lawndale. \n\nJESSE: I guess that’s how you know her.\n\nDARIA: Yep, my sister was her second in command. Where exactly did you meet her?\n\nJESSE:  At the Zon a few weeks ago. She just appeared out of nowhere, babbling about how she’d let me take her out. What a head-case. Not even me having a girlfriend stopped her. (snort) As if trying to cut you down in front of me would make me like her.\n\nDARIA (blushing): Thanks for defending me.\n\nJESSE (shrugging): It was all true, I say what I see.\n\nDARIA: That’s the most I’ve heard you say since… well since I met you. You’re usually so quiet. What gives?\n\nJESSE (smirking): You try getting a word in edgewise with Max and Nick.\n\nDARIA (smirking): I feel your pain. I live with a self-absorbed fashion princess. (Bt) Aw crap.\n\nJESSE (raising an eyebrow): What?\n\nDARIA: Sandi is Quinn’s best friend. She’s gonna press Quinn for info about us, and when Quinn tells her there’s nothing going on, you’re screwed.\n\nJESSE: Damn.\n\nDARIA (thoughtfully): I wonder how much I’d have to pay to get her to lie.\n\nJESSE: Ugh, I don’t want you to do that. I’ll find another way to get rid of Sandi. Thanks for trying. (Bt) Maybe I’ll see if Jane will help.\n\nDARIA (smirking): Oh sure, pull a Tom.\n\nJESSE (chuckling): Not my fault if you two like to share.\n\nDARIA: I don’t really care for it, to be honest. Complicates things too much. (Bt) Speaking of sharing, how are you gonna keep Jane from hitting on anything that moves while you’re on stage?\n\nJESSE: Good point. I could always talk to Monique. (shudders)\n\nDARIA: Blech, I can’t ask you to do that. There has to be another way…\n\n(They ride in silence for a few minutes, Daria looking lost in thought while she chews on her lower lip. Jesse just looks vacant as usual.)\n\nDARIA: We could always give Quinn something to tell…\n\nJESSE: Huh?\n\nDARIA (sighing): Well I’m leaving for RAFT in the fall, by then Sandi should have another victim. In the meantime, we could pretend to date.\n\nJESSE: You sure? What about your parents? Won’t they freak?\n\nDARIA (smirking): Added bonus. (Bt) Besides I’m 18 now, they can’t do much about it.\n\nJESSE: True. (grinning) Are you sure you wanna be seen with a lummox like me?\n\nDARIA: Are you sure you want to be seen with a brain like me? Especially since everyone’s gonna think you’re my rebound after Tom.\n\nJESSE (mock-offense): What? I am nobody’s rebound. (smug) I prefer to be known as the reason for the break-up.\n\nDARIA (groaning): Oh great, add to the home-wrecker rep I’ve already got.\n\nJESSE: Nah, you didn’t cheat on him with me, though the bastard would’ve deserved it. You just couldn’t stand the thought of leaving Lawndale and not knowing what would have happened if you’d went after the stud you’d had the hots for since you moved here.\n\nDARIA (eyebrow raised): Me? Have the hots for someone? No one will ever believe that out of the Ice Queen Misery Chick.\n\nJESSE: I don’t think you’re that icy. Maybe those high school boys just didn’t know what they were doing. (winking) Maybe you just needed a real man to heat you up.\n\n(Jesse laughs as Daria turns twenty shades of red. As he parks the Tank in front of her house, he reaches over and puts his hand on her knee. He frowns as he sees her visible effort not to pull away.)\n\nJESSE: Look Daria, I don’t care if people think I’m your rebound or the home-wrecker that split you and Tom up. (shrugging) People are gonna think whatever they want. Question is, do you care?\n\nDARIA: Ah what the hell, I’m out of here in a few months anyway. Why not give ‘em something to remember me by?\n\n(Jesse holds out his hand, smiling.)\n\nJESSE: To summer flings\n\n(Daria takes his hand and smirks.)\n\nDARIA: What a romantic beginning. Someday I’ll tell our illegitimate child that it all started with a handshake.\n\nJESSE (laughing): Good one Daria. Hey, isn’t that your sister?\n\n(Daria glances out the windshield. Sure enough, Quinn is climbing out of a convertible parked down the block. She smoothes out her clothing and waves as the car drives off.  Slowly she creeps toward the house, checking to see if any lights are on. She doesn’t notice the van until she is almost to the front sidewalk. Daria pretends she hasn’t seen Quinn and leans across the van and catching Jesse off guard with a kiss.)\n\nQUINN (dropping her purse): EEP!\n\nDARIA (glaring as she “notices” Quinn): Ah crap. (winking at Jesse) Later Lummox.\n\nJESSE (grinning): Bye Brain.\n\n(Daria smirks as she climbs out of the Tank and shoots Quinn a death glare as Jesse drives off.)\n\nDARIA: Breathe one word of this to Mom and Dad, and I’ll tell them the truth about that “sleepover” at Stacy’s last week.\n\n(Daria walks toward the front door, she is about halfway there when Quinn finally grabs her purse and scurries after her.)\n\nQUINN (whispering): Who was that? He was Cuh-ute! Well he could be if he combed his hair and got a better car. And why wasn’t he wearing a shirt? I mean-\n\nDARIA (turning on her): That was Jesse, and you can keep your paws off him. Same goes for your little fashion fiends. Tell Sandi if she gets within five feet of him again, I’ll shove my boot so far up her butt, she’ll need a dentist to remove it.\n\n(Daria turns and walks inside, leaving a stunned Quinn on the stoop. She smirks as she heads up the stairs.)\n\nDARIA (thought VO): The seed is planted.','a053503dbaa61c048c83582f73e26b98',0,'','3sux4qcv',1,1300688449,'',1198,6,0),(462528,31723,6,885,0,'72.161.250.30',1298263352,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: World\'s Shortest Crossover','With a final twist, he sliced through the creature\'s belly with his blade.

The only classes they weren\'t together in were music and math.  A few of their friends from class shared the same schedule.  They knew that middle school was going to be a big adjustment, but they were looking forward to it.  When they got home that afternoon, going into the sixth grade was all the two sisters could talk about.\n\nAs Quinn listened to her sisters, it was the first time she began to realize that she would be spending next year alone.  Despite being friends with just about everyone in her class, Quinn knew that she would miss talking to her sisters at lunch.  Daria and Jane gave her a hug and told her it would be okay and that she was lucky because she would be going to school fifteen minutes later and getting out of school fifteen minutes earlier than they would be.  Quinn hugged them back and smiled.\n\nAs their final day of being elementary students ended, Ms. Harrison walked up to Daria and Jane and wished them luck.  She also informed them that she was moving to Maryland because of a better teaching job had opened up.  Jane asked her former teacher to send a letter with her new address.  That way Jane could send her copies of her stories.  Ms. Harrison agreed and gave the two girls a hug before they walked out of the building.\n\nTrent had been working hard the last two quarters.  His hard work paid off and he passed his tenth grade year with a 4.0 GPA.  He barely made the A honor roll with an 90 in Geometry.  Everyone was proud of him for pulling his grades up.  The weekend after school got out, Jake and Trent went shopping for a used car.  They found a green \'88 Honda Accord Sedan in pretty good condition and low mileage.  When they arrived home with it, Helen agreed that they made a good choice.  Daria liked it because it was her favorite color.  Trent was happy because now he could drive to gigs that Mr. Thomason was lining up for the band.  \n\nTrent was also ready to resume his job at Morgendorffer Consulting.  He picked up some pointers last summer, which resulted in more crowd approval when he performed.  Helen hired Penny to keep an eye on the girls over the summer and signed all three up Penny\'s art class.  Penny would use the money Helen gave her to pay for next semester\'s tuition.  She had started back taking night classes so that she could earn her teaching degree.   At the end of May, Amanda and Vincent officially put the paid-off commune house in Penny\'s name.\n\nThe summer flew by quicker than any of them wanted it to.  Then came the big day August 20th.  The first day of school for sixth-graders at Highland Middle School.  Jake pulled up to the curb and let them out.  Once their father drove away, Daria and Jane looked up at the building in front of them.  Then, they turned to each other and smiled.\n\n[b:3p88ppsq]End[/b:3p88ppsq]','1f0005f3419a927c7ec609f9534a41be',0,'QA==','3p88ppsq',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462534,30206,6,1070,0,'205.188.116.7',1298265039,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Jane Morgendorffer (Part 39)','This is the end of Jane Morgendorffer 1.

Firstly, the two two structures - religion and science - are ultimately irreconcilable. One is based on observation and experiment as the sole basis for truth; the other is based on faith, and never the twain can meet.\n\nOf course there are scientists who have a religious faith of one kind or another and that doesn\'t stop them from being scientists. But there is a fundamental conflict between a world view that encompasses a metaphysical reality and one that doesn\'t. That doesn\'t mean that a religious scientist speaking about science will always get it wrong, any more than a non-religious scientist speaking about religion will always get it wrong. But I think you\'d have to be careful in either case because one world view is fundamentally inconsistent with the other.\n\nSecondly, because I don\'t trust religion\'s motives. There is such a long and bloody history of opposition to science and rationalism from religion that I think it\'s wise to be suspicious when religion ventures into science.[i:sfp6w2hk] Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?

For example, do you think that [i:38djws3q]Baywatch[/i:38djws3q] would have been as popular around the world if it hadn\'t featured \'California blondes\' with huge racks and blue eyes? The same goes with the inherent and institutionalized racism within our society - and yes, we all do recognize it and are trying to change that, and yes, with every generation, it gets bred out a little more than before, but we have to admit that it\'s still there. \n\nShort form - It\'s because you\'re not an American. \n\n\nLet\'s put in another way. Think about the inherently inflammatory imagery and or persons in your country\'s past that would cause similar annoyances - for example, if the commercial had an animated Evita Peron saying \'Don\'t cry for me, Argentina - because I\'m going to clean up right here at this casino.\' Like I said - it\'s the eyes through which you view the product.) It\'s because his being seen first and foremost by his race is, because of some longstanding prejudices, demeans him in that (despite his accomplishments) relegates him to the status of second-class citizen. \n\nThis is why I snap at my nephews, and cringe whenever I\'m around my oldest brother, every time one of them lets the \'N\' word off the chain - whether as insult, description or as supposed \'term of endearment\'. It\'s a word with nothing but nastiness behind it; it makes me feel the same way hearing Blacks saying \'my nigga!\' as I feel when I see homosexuals and lesbians using the inverted pink triangle; this were both symbols of evil and oppression, and no amount of \'we\'re going to take it and make it a GOOD thing!\' is ever going to change the fact that the word and the image were created specifically to demean and relegate the persons they were used to identify, and to place them in positions beneath \'their betters\' at best, and mark them for death at worst.\n\nThat being said - the way African-Americans have been negatively portrayed in film and television is globally widespread enough so that the makers of that commercial cannot say that they weren\'t aware of any unfortunate implications of using that imagery. They either simply chose to ignore the unfortunate implications of said commercial, or (more likely) went with it in the hopes of getting even more business for their casino because of any possible uproar about the images they\'re perpetuating with their creation.','794ed508d7acb9a794c4f097ae66a313',0,'4A==','38djws3q',1,1298272775,'',59,1,0),(462567,31986,4,114,0,'210.9.138.189',1298272252,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Do you find this insulting?','[quote=&quot;Brother Grimace&quot;:1zzmyny8]Deref - yes, depending on who you talk to, \'Negro\' is still a word that raises the ire of some (mainly the older members of the AA community), as does the word \'Colored\'. \'Black\' is a term of empowerment; most people in the community identify themselves with that word, and (IMHO) \'African-American\' is the politically-correct term used by everyone.[/quote:1zzmyny8]\nThanks BG.

Anyway, at the first meeting I went to, Father Gary (our Faculity Advisor) has his little speech welcoming me and hoping for better understanding, how he hoped my friends might consider joining, how this could foster better understanding... he kept referring to me in the third person and as \'he\' or \'him\'; after he finished with his little speech, I raised my had to speak, and when he nodded, I looked him in the eye and simply said, \'His name is \'Gerald\'.&quot;\n\nThat\'s something you guys have probably noticed. Yes, i have my opinions on things race-related, but I\'ve always tried to live my life as defined by a Nigerian proverb that I didn\'t even read until I was out of college: \'I have always been proud to be Black. However, being proud and being obsessive are two different things.\'\n\nI also remember what I told a number of individuals back in college: [i:31hz9zto]&quot;Don\'t dislike me because I\'m Black. That\'s limiting yourselves! Trust me - by the time you really get to know me, you\'ll have so many reasons to dislike me that skin color won\'t even matter!&quot;[/i:31hz9zto]\n\nPerhaps that\'s because, to some, I might have appered to have held a seemingly elevated opinion of myself.

He tried to get up but was put back down by the steel toed boot that connected just below his ribs. He looked up in fear at the towering figure who glared down at him.\n\n“I\'m getting really sick of your shit, Joey,” Vice Detective Jodie Landon said as she lit a cigarette. She knelt down next to the pathetic street pusher. Her long braids draped over her shoulders like dead snakes. She held the cig in her mouth, while reaching down and dragging Joey\'s head upward. “Three weeks, Joey. Three weeks and you STILL don\'t have my fucking money. I\'m not happy.”\n\n“Jodie...listen, I just need a little more tiIIIIIIIAAAAAAEEEEEE!!!” Joey\'s voice hit an impressive high note as Jodie bent his ring finger back further than it was meant to bend.\n\n“Three WEEKS, Joey. We agreed on two,” Jodie said calmly, flicking ash off the cigarette with her free hand. “Now, you know there\'s two ways this can go. You give me my money and get your ass out of town tonight, or you have a little accident on your way to the tank. And you don\'t want that, Joey.”\n\n“Okay! Okay!” Joey screamed. He thrust his free hand into his pocket and yanked out his wallet. “That\'s all I\'ve got! I swear!”\n\nJodie let go of his finger,  and put a foot on his hand to keep him in place. She picked up the wallet and opened it, pulling out  wad of bills. She riffed through them and pocketed the wad. She stood up, took her foot off Joey\'s hand and hauled him upright.\n“This buys you 24 hours,” she said quietly, holding Joey close. “Here, this time, tomorrow. You have my money, or I shoot you in the balls. Clear?”\n\n“Yeah! Yeah, clear!” Joey said. Jodie shoved him away. Joey staggered, recovered and ran down the back side of the school library.  Jodie snorted and smirked to herself, crushed out her cigarette, and began walking the other direction. As she came to the back door of the library, she reached out an yanked on the door, an old habit during her beat cop days. To her surprise, the door opened. \n\nJodie frowned, reached behind her and withdrew her pistol. She stepped into the library and slowly made her way into the main reading room.\n\n“Lawndale PD,” she called out, “Anyone there?”\n\nThere was no answer. Jodie moved swiftly into the main reading room, alert for any attack. After standing ready for about two minutes, she became convinced she was alone and holstered the pistol. She looked around the room, looking for anything out of place, or some indicator that something was missing or--\n\nShe stopped and stared at the circulation desk. Nothing had been taken from the library.\n\nBut something had been left.\n\nJodie walked up to the desk and frowned at the small gray box. It was surmounted by a large red button. She reached down and pulled the box towards her. It didn\'t budge. She couldn\'t see any bolts or screws, but the box was definitely attached to the counter somehow. She walked behind the desk and frowned. There was a cable attached to the back of the box that dangled off the edge of the counter and then abruptly stopped. It was as if someone had cut the cable, but when she tried to lift the cable to examine it further, it proved to be just as immovable as the box itself. The odd thing was, it felt like the cable was still connected to something on the loose end. She felt resistance and weight when she tugged on it.\n\n“What the hell?” she murmured. She stood back up and looked back at the button. She was having flashbacks of that movie “The Box,” except she doubted she\'d get a million bucks if she pushed the button.\n\nOn the other hand, even if the box contained high power explosives, the most it would do is start a fire in the library. And if it was a bomb, why make the trigger so obvious?\n\nJodie idly chewed on her bottom lip as she looked at the button. She glanced at her watch. The school  staff would start showing up in about an hour. When they did, the bomb squad was sure to be called out and it was going to be one huge cluster fuck after that.  \n\nWell, she didn\'t get where she was today by following the rules. And really, blowing up would be one hell of a way to go, wouldn\'t it?\n\nShe hit the button.\n\n–\n\nGod, I do so love pissing off the Ringbearers. Ever since I took out their bosses they\'ve gone nuts. Crazy. Sloppy.\n\nFun.\n\nTaylor has been chasing me through this asteroid belt for the last fifteen minutes, blasting rocks into powder. I\'ve been countering with energy blasts. No sense destroying this universe this go round.\n\nOooh! That was a close one. Wonder why she\'s so pissed. You\'d think she\'d be grateful I gave her an excuse to ignore all the rules the Ringmasters placed on her and the other Warhammers. She must have been fucking one of them.\n\nI dodge behind one of the larger asteroids and prepare to blast it right in Taylor\'s direction when the watch on my left wrist beeps and a small red light illuminates. I stare at it in disbelief and grin.\n\nJodie pressed the button. She actually pressed the button.\n\nNegaJane owes me big time. I\'m thinking schoolgirl outfit.\n\nOne of the little known facts about transdimensional nexus points; any time one manifests, the surrounding reality field weakens, which means you can tweak a few things in that field, and in the presence of powerful nexus points, actually shove things through the field into alternate realities.\n\nThe button is attached to a cable which passes through the reality field, winds its way through the library in an abandoned version of Lawndale High and out into the parking lot where it connects to a microtransmitter. The transmitter sends a signal through a miniature portal generator to another universe. The signal travels to the Dalekanium power supply in a black van parked across the street from where the portal exits.  Once it powers up, and spells out a little message for the metermaid Jodie who will most likely be on duty when it charges up, it channels an energy blast through the radio antenna and to a small satellite I jacked and placed in geosynchronous orbit over Lawndale. The satellite redirects the blast slightly, sending the energy back down to a lot about thirty feet from where the van is parked. \n\nThat energy hits another soft spot in the reality field, part of it opening another rift. The excess energy passes through the rift and powers up a special laser array. The laser is focused through a narrow glass tube pointed into the trees of the vacant lot where I set it up. Another mini portal generator sends the beam through to yet another universe, where it bounces off a series of mirrors back towards Lawndale High, hits a prism mounted in the window of O\'Neill\'s classroom, and refracts right through the dimensional nexus in that room. The resulting dimensional transit through the nexus amps the power of the laser and it hits a power coupling attached to the electro-annihilation disc. \n\nAnd then, the Reality Bomb detonates, tracing the laser back through the portal and the entire chain of realities, wiping out the electron bonds of the molecules of all of them. Matter becomes dust, dust becomes atoms, and the atoms eventually dissipate...becoming nothing.\n\nAnd six realities go quietly away, without me having to set off a single annihilation sphere or send any of my allies to do the dirty work for me. \n\nI wish I could see Taylor\'s face when she gets back to wherever the Ringbearers are holing up. Speaking of which, now would be a good time for a few flashy theatrics.\n\nI hurl the asteroid across the field towards Taylor, who predictably blasts it into smithereens. I follow it up with a huge blast of dark energy. I “miss,” causing Taylor to dodge and fire at me. I duck deeper into the field, taunting her, daring her to follow me. She may be a decent strategist and fighter, but she still has the same shortsightedness of every other Brittany Taylor I\'ve ever met. Make her mad, and the higher thought processes take a vacation. \n\nSo why Jodie, who I freely admit is one of the only people who has never actually pissed me off? Well, it was a matter of finding the right person to hit the button. I did a search and found a Jodie who was a corrupt vice cop. A corrupt vice cop with a tendancy to shoot first and ask questions later. Exactly the type of person who wouldn\'t be able to resist pushing a big red button as long as there wasn\'t any indicator that doing so would cause harm to herself or anything in her immediate vicinity. \n\nFrom there it was a matter of finding realities that were similar to that one. Specifically, I needed two things to be sure this was going to work. I needed the qualifying world to have a Jodie Landon from Lawndale, and that same Jodie Landon to have a job in law enforcement. For some reason, worlds where the same people have similar occupations have the highest probability of having splintered off from each other. While two of those realities had Jodies that didn\'t live in Lawndale, they did attend Lawndale High and both worked on the Federal level; one was an FBI agent, the other worked for the Attorney General\'s office.\n\nSo, a little research, a little meddling and Shazam! \n\nSpeaking of “Shazam!” Tim to wrap this little game of hide-and-seek up. I quickly reverse direction and hurl myself at Taylor. She sees me coming and raises her Ring. I surround myself in flames and keep going, waiting for the exact moment. This is going to hurt, but it should work.\n\nTaylor cuts loose with a massive blast, right as I send the flames towards her in a gigantic ball. The Ring\'s energy bounces the fireball back at me, increasing its veIocity as it races towards me. I brace myself for the impact and prepare to jump. As split second before the ball hits me and explodes, I open a portal and let the release of energy shove me through.\n\nI crash land hard behind the mansion, leaving a huge trench. I\'m scraped up, bloodied, and I\'m pretty sure my left arm is broken. The pain is ridiculous. Everything will heal in a couple of hours, one of the fringe benefits of the ritual, but until then, it\'s gonna hurt like a motherfucker.\n\nNegaJane and a couple of the Purifiers come out of the house. NegaJane helps me to my feet, steadying me. She looks me over and smirks.\n\n“You look like hell, boss.”\n\nI give her a grin of my own. “Yeah, but I won the bet.”\n\nShe blinks. “Seriously? She pushed the button?”\n\nI nod. She curses. She\'s so cute when she\'s irked. She\'s not going to get to chain me up like she wanted now. And I know she really wanted to wear the nurse\'s outfit.\n\n“Okay,” she sighs, “You win again. What now?”\n\n“First a bath and a nap while everything knits,” I say, “and then after that, dinner.”\n\nShe quirks an eyebrow, waiting for the other shoe to drop. “And after?”\n\nI grin evilly at her. “Report to my office, young lady. You\'ve been acting up in class again.”\n\nShe blinks then assumes an altogether out of character innocent expression. “Oh, Miss Judith, please! I didn\'t mean to forget my panties when I left gym class!”\n\nGod, I love it when she plays along... \n\n...but I still miss my Jane.\n\n–\n\n“She got away again,” Warhammer Brittany Taylor reported to Rita Conroy, commander of the War Sphere Avalon, “but we managed to stop her from destroying the place, and I made sure we gave her a good hard boot in the ass on the way out.”\n\n“Nicely done,” Conroy said, “We seem to be making headway. Now if we could just find a way to keep her in plac elong enough to neutralize her--”\n\n“It still wouldn\'t do a damn bit of good,” came a female voice. The two Ringbearers looked up to see Hypersphere Supervisor Richard standing in the doorway with a woman neither of them had met before.\n\n“I beg your pardon?” Conroy asked. “What\'s going on, Richard?”\n\n“Allow me to present Supervisor Lou. She looks over the DW sphere.” Richard explained.\n\n“And it looks like there\'s been even MORE overlap between my sphere and yours,” Lou said, her voice hard. “Somebody detonated a Dalek Reality Bomb in your sphere. Six realities wiped out in the blink of an eye.”\n\n“Judith?” Conroy asked. \n\n“Who else?” Lou replied. “This is EXACTLY why the Agency tries to prevent overlaps. So stuff like this doesn\'t happen!”\n\n“How did she do it? I had her occupied in D-4444!” Brittany protested. \n\n“She set it up so someone else detonated it for her,” Richard answered. “We should be grateful she reduced its size and power. If she had made the full scale version of the damn thing, there wouldn\'t be anything left.”\n\n“Why would she do that?” Conroy asked.\n\n“Do what?”\n\n“Reduce the power of the bomb? If the full scale version could wipe out everything, why not build it?”\n\n“Logistics, for one,” Lou said. “The full size version requires an engine comprised of 27 planets of specific mass and gravity to power it. Which would set off alarm bells in my sphere alone, since someone tried building one before. So she probably had to scale it back to use some other power source.”\n\n“I suppose,” Richard said quietly. \n\n“What is it?” Lou asked. \n\n“Something\'s just not right here. Even if it was a matter of not stealing the planets, why wouldn\'t she make it as big as she possibly could? Get the most bang for her buck?”\n\n“She\'s psychotic,” Brittany sneered.\n\n“But not stupid,” Richard countered. “We\'re missing something. Something obvious. Something that\'s the key to all of this.”\n\n“Like what?”\n\n“If I knew that, we\'d probably be able to get a jump on her. But whatever it is, we better figure it out soon. I don\'t know how much longer we can wait for who or whatever is supposed to stop her. Sooner or later she\'s going to hit D-101 and when that happens--”\n\n“When that happens,”Brittany finished, “that red cloaked bitch is going to find out how bloody war can actually get.”\n\nLou looked between her fellow Supervisor and the Ringbearers. And wished she could get rid of the feeling of impending doom that hovered over them all.\n\n--Erin M.','1fb8f3331a364689304d5dcd112e258d',0,'','11rdsi06',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462590,30206,6,1098,0,'64.237.223.195',1298292716,1,0,1,0,1,1,'','Re: Jane Morgendorffer (Part 40)/END','[quote=&quot;InvisibleDan&quot;:3eb7h1f5]Oh, and here\'s a suggestion for a title: [i:3eb7h1f5]Jane Morgendorffer 2: Electric Boogaloo[/i:3eb7h1f5].

Or even pull out an earring and damage those so-called perfect lobes of theirs. I\'m talking concussions, broken bones.

Tonight, she, as well as Jane Lane and Stacy Rowe, finally get a chance to fulfil that mission as they get their hands on The Fashion Club in a Highland Street Fight.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;You mentioned the disgusting attack on Helen Barksdale, and because of that The Fashion Club were fined and stripped of the LFC Women\'s Tag Team Championships. And this is how we ended up with our next contest, a gauntlet match for that particular set of gold.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Gauntlet rules are similar to the Lawndale Rumble, but instead of timed entrances, the next team only enters when a team is eliminated.

Any favourites you can see?&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;The Cheerleader Squad Blue Team of Angie Zammit and Lisa Fisher are the only team to have previously held the tag titles, but they were both separate reigns with Brittany Taylor, not together. The Dames of Darkness, Andrea Hecuba-Thorne and Scarlett LeFaye will be the undisputed crowd favourites, but my pick would have to be A-List Incorporated. Winona Polizzi and Ruby Montag are a new team, but dammit haven\'t they taken the world by storm! The crowd haven\'t really warmed to them, but it doesn\'t really matter. They\'re here for gold, not friends.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Let\'s go to Anthony!&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](Cut to DeMartino, standing in the ring)[/i:qtqur7z5]\n\n[b:qtqur7z5]DeMartino:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Ladies AND gentlemen, the following CONTEST is a TAG TEAM GAUNTLET MATCH, and it is FOR the LFC Women\'s TAG TEAM Championship!&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](The crowd cheers.

As a matter of fact Watkins has only just returned to the main roster from the casualty ward in the last couple of weeks after her injury at the Lawndale Rumble.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;I think Brooke has chosen wisely in having a solid hand like Kristen ease her back in. Hopefully, Brooke\'s face will fare better than it did at the Rumble.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Watkins is quite an inspiring story. She had an 18 month stint on the sideline after suffering a nasal relapse in a match against Sandi Griffin, followed by reconstructive surgery and extensive rehabilitation. But Watkins came back, her hunger for success as strong as ever, and she has become a regular fixture of the LFC.&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](As they get into the ring, their theme fades out and [url=http&#58;//www&#46;youtube&#46;com/watch?v=zhdTpeegBZk:qtqur7z5]&quot;Girls Just Wanna Have Fun&quot; by Cyndi Lauper[/url:qtqur7z5] begins to play.

Could this be the end for the first of our Cheerleader Squad teams?&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;It very well could be. Brooke doesn\'t go to the top rope very often, but when she does, she usually makes it count.&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](Brooke gets onto the top turnbuckle and jumps off it with a flying elbow drop. She goes for the cover)[/i:qtqur7z5]\n\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;The big elbow drop by Watkins, will that be enough?&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;1... 2... and Nikki Dowling makes the save for her team by breaking up the pin! It had to be done, Tim, otherwise it was all over.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Here comes Leung into the ring... she tries for a roundhouse kick on Dowling!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Nikki ducks under and sends Kristen to the floor!

Donna isn\'t the legal partner and Brooke doesn\'t know!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;DDT on Bolton, but again, she\'s not legal. A pin would not be counted... look at Dowling on the turnbuckle!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Don\'t turn around, Brooke! You won\'t like what you see!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Dowling with a sunset flip off the top rope...

The fact that they have been in the company for a few months now and are only getting their first title shot tonight is a travesty.&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](Their theme fades out as LaToya gets into the ring and starts trading punches with Nikki)[/i:qtqur7z5]\n\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;And Jones is right into it, trading lefts and rights with Dowling!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;These two love to take the fight right to their opponents, but this kind of strategy usually leaves them at a disadvantage in longer matches.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;And a huge right hook by Jones sends Dowling to the ground!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;But look, she\'s already going for the tag.

She has been eating some huge blows.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Nibblett with the cover... and that was very close. A long 2 count by referee Jesse Moreno.&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](Aleesha gets up and starts arguing with the referee)[/i:qtqur7z5]\n\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Nibblett remonstrating with our match official about that count. She must be pretty adamant that was a 3 count.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Well it was very close, and Moreno has been counting a bit slow as of late. I don\'t know, but that\'s just me.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Either way, she can\'t afford to let this throw her off her game.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;She\'s now trying for a submission on Nikki, so I could safely say that it hasn\'t.&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](Aleesha grabs Nikki\'s legs to try for a leg lock, but Nikki kicks her away and makes the tag to Donna)[/i:qtqur7z5]\n\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Dowling makes the tag, and Bolton is back in the match!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Look at her go here with these dropkicks! She is a house on fire right now!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Dropkick after dropkick right to the head of Aleesha Nibblett and it looks like The Cheerleader Squad Yellow Team has the upper hand once again.&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](Donna whips Aleesha to the LaToya/Aleesha corner. Unknown to Donna, LaToya tags herself back in. As Donna goes for another cartwheel move, LaToya clotheslines her in the back of the head. The crowd groans)[/i:qtqur7z5]\n\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Damn! Donna Bolton is surely out after that sick clothesline!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;I\'d have to agree, I mean she hasn\'t moved.&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](LaToya goes for the cover. At the last possible moment, however, Donna kicks out)[/i:qtqur7z5]\n\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;She kicked out? Seriously? What is it going to take?&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Bolton is showing some incredible internal fortitude tonight.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;I think LaToya has decided that it\'s time to stop messing around.&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](LaToya picks up Donna and goes behind. She goes for an inverted suplex, but Donna changes the momentum and hits a cutter)[/i:qtqur7z5]\n\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;I can\'t tell who got the worst of that there. I know that LaToya was going for something...&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;I think Bolton countered! Look, she\'s going for the cover!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;1... 2... 3! Another team bites the dust, skinny!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;The Cheerleader Squad Yellow Team get past team number 3.

Look what the cat dragged in!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;It\'s That \'80s Team, Angel Ferrana and Jackie Wentworth. They describe themselves as a literal throwback to the time of big hair, big riffs and bad attitudes. And I\'d have to agree specifically on the bad attitude part.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;They don\'t have bad attitudes. They just have no time for squares like you. Besides, as soon as they win this match, they\'ll be too busy partying on the Sunset Strip to even worry about their bad reputation.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;That\'s two so far, Janet. How many \'80s rock references are you going to make before they get eliminated?&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;I\'m trying for double figures this week!&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](Their theme fades out as Jackie gets into the ring and starts stomping the fatigued Donna. The crowd start chanting &quot;SLUT&quot;)[/i:qtqur7z5]\n\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Our capacity crowd are using some... choice words here to get under the skin of Wentworth.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Are you kidding me? This crowd is making me sick right now! There is no need for that kind of conduct by our fans. And I bet they\'re all men chanting that out too. Jealous men who would give their first-born child for five minutes with Jackie Wentworth.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Personal life aside, Wentworth is a talented wrestler with untapped potential. That goes for Ferrana as well.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Most definitely. Look at Jackie just dismantling Donna here!&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](Jackie walks over to her corner and tags in Angel. Angel goes straight to the ground and locks in a double-underhook submission on Donna)[/i:qtqur7z5]\n\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Ferrana locks in Angel\'s Wings and it could very well be all over here for Bolton and Dowling!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;She\'s tapping! Donna\'s tapping!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Excellent showing by The Cheerleader Squad Yellow Team, but that Angel\'s Wings is one of the deadliest submissions here in the LFC, and even at full strength it would be hard for someone to not tap out.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;No shame in knowing when to walk away and fight another day.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Anyway, That \'80s Team is now awaiting the next challengers.&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](&quot;Girls Just Wanna Have Fun&quot; plays for the second time, the crowd gives a loud cheer and DeMartino puts his fingers in his ears. Angie and Lisa appear on the entrance stage and do a quick cheer, before they start running to the ring. On their way, they hug their defeated teammates Nikki and Donna, who are walking back up the ramp. Angie and Lisa are both wearing the traditional Lawndale High cheerleading attire (mostly blue))[/i:qtqur7z5]\n\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;From one Cheerleading Squad team to the other! Here comes the blue team, Angie Zammit and Lisa Fisher!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Angie has been the defacto leader of the group while Brittany Taylor has been training for her World Championship match, so now it\'s time to see if that leadership experience ends up with her first tag title reign without Brittany as her partner.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;It would also be Fisher\'s first reign without Taylor as her partner.&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](Their theme fades out as they get in the ring and start brawling with Angel and Jackie)[/i:qtqur7z5]\n\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Zammit and Fisher are doing their damndest to try and get revenge for their fallen teammates!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;You couldn\'t get personalities that clashed anymore than this. We have preppy All-American cheerleaders clashing with sleazy rock chicks. Only in the LFC, O\'Neill!&quot; \n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Bang! High kick by Fisher knocks down Ferrana!&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](Lisa goes for a cover on Angel, but it only gets a 1 count. She gets up and tags in Angie)[/i:qtqur7z5]\n\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Tag made and Zammit is in, but Ferrana is still down.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch[/b:qtqur7z5]: &quot;It\'s going to take a lot more than a well-placed kick to take down Angel. For a start, that hair of hers provide unbelievable cushioning.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;In the meantime, here comes Zammit off the ropes and she hits a big leg drop!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Of course, that hair won\'t protect the front of the face.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Another cover attempt and that gets... 2.&quot;\n\n[i[(Angie goes for a second leg drop but Angel rolls out of the way, leaving Angie to land right on her tailbone.

Angie is going to have that bootprint on her face for the next week!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Zammit went to the well once too often and she paid the price.&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](Angel takes the time to arrogantly mock Angie by doing some star jumps, before tagging in Jackie. The crowd boos heavily in response)[/i:qtqur7z5]\n\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Look at that. No respect whatsoever for their opponents!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Pfft! Respect is overrated. I didn\'t get it, and I turned out all right.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;I guess... anyway, Wentworth is back in and giving Zammit the business.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;And you know just as much as I do, that she loves to do that.&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](Jackie locks in a chinlock and starts to work over the neck. Angie tries to fight out of it, but starts to fade)[/i:qtqur7z5]\n\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;That \'80s Team are close to yet another submission elimination, Tim!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Zammit is nearly out, but this capacity crowd are trying to bring her back. Listen to them going off!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;It\'s working! Angie\'s getting the rattlesnake shakes!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;There\'s an elbow to the sternum of Wentworth! And another! There\'s a third! Zammit is running on pure adrenalin right now!&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](Angie makes it back to her feet and starts throwing punches at Jackie.

If Wentworth hits the Rebel Yell from here, it is over!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Here she goes... no wait she\'s countered into a hurricanrana!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;With every ounce of strength she had left in her body, Angie Zammit counters into a hurricanrana and now they\'re both down!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Look at Lisa! You can see in her eyes how bad she wants this tag!&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](Both Angie and Jackie crawl to their corners and make the hot tags to their respective partners.

That would be a 3 count if it were any other referee!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Ferrana giving him a piece of her mind right now. Wow... first Aleesha Nibblett and now Angel Ferrana finding referee Jesse Moreno\'s counts not to their liking.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Forget that! Lisa is back up! Turn around Angel, for the love of God turn around!&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](Lisa grabs Angel by the hair and lifts her up over her shoulders.

Holy Moses!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Yes I did, Tim, and this crowd is eating it up! Ingenious double-team offense by Angie and Lisa!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Zammit makes the cover... 1... 2... 3! That \'80s Team are gone, and The Cheerleader Squad Blue Team moves on!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;And we\'re nearly at the end of this thing, O\'Neill!

These two are the epitome of today\'s celebrity-obsessed MTV pop culture, I mean, just look at the paparazzi following their every step! That\'s how hot they are right now!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;I find it hard to believe that Winona Polizzi and Ruby Montag attract that much of an entourage, but I do agree that out of any team in the LFC, male or female, they are on the biggest wave of momentum. They are yet to lose since their debut six weeks ago!&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](Winona and Ruby hesitate in getting into the ring.

That \'80s Team were eliminated fair and square! And now they\'ve ambushed The Cheerleader Squad Blue Team and are just laying the boots into them!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;You can\'t blame them for being frustrated, because they have an insatiable appetite for destruction. This was their big chance on the big stage and they had it taken away from them by Angie and Lisa.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;I could understand their frustration, but this is not the right way to go about it!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;By the way, how many am I up to?&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Four.&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](Jackie holds Angie from behind, as Angel hits a super kick.

Ruby gets the elimination!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;A valiant effort by Zammit and Fisher, but that\'s the end of their night thanks mostly to those sore losers That \'80s Team.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;You\'re missing the bigger picture, skinny! A-List Incorporated are one team away from the gold!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Yes they are, and that team is coming out right now.&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](Suddenly the arena lights go out, leaving the stadium in near pitch-black darkness.

Andrea Hecuba-Thorne and Scarlett LeFaye could soon realise the dream of a lifetime by winning LFC championship gold!&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](A single spotlight follows Andrea and Scarlett to the ring. The lights come back on completely as they disrobe down to their wrestling attire (black, red and silver singlets and shorts adorned with ankhs and crucifixes) and get in the ring.

One after the other!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;At least it\'s not the face, otherwise there wouldn\'t be much more modelling for her.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;And there\'s a dropkick right to the knee by Montag. That could tear ligaments or, even worse, dislocate a kneecap.&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](Scarlett drops to her knees, allowing Ruby to run off the ropes and hit a low clothesline)[/i:qtqur7z5]\n\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Bang!

She\'s just going to keep going on with the job.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;And she makes the tag to Polizzi.

Polizzi must break the submission hold before the referee counts to 5 otherwise her team will be disqualified.&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](Winona refuses to let go of the hold, only letting go when Jesse reaches 4 on his count. She picks up Scarlett)[/i:qtqur7z5]\n\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;LeFaye can barely stand on that leg.

You really expect her to give up just like that? That\'s not her way, Janet.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Whatever. Just call the match.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Polizzi is trying to whip LeFaye into the ropes, but she\'s countered! Polizzi off the ropes... LeFaye ducks...

That could be the window of opportunity she needs!&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](Scarlett starts crawling towards her corner, but Winona grabs her leg.

Listen to this crowd go off!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Andrea is a cult hero of the LFC, with a huge following. But she has never won LFC gold. That could all change very soon if she keeps up with these shoulder blocks!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Indeed, that\'s three she has hit Montag with now! And now a whip to the turnbuckle.&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]Barch:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;Andrea\'s lining her up, O\'Neill!&quot;\n[b:qtqur7z5]O\'Neill:[/b:qtqur7z5] &quot;And Hecuba-Thorne comes charging in and hits a big body splash! Montag is in trouble here!&quot;\n\n[i:qtqur7z5](Ruby slumps to the ground as Andrea starts climbing to the top rope.

OK, [i:27kxlrln]now[/i:27kxlrln] it\'s close to being true.[/quote:27kxlrln]\n\nThis exchange is one of the reasons why watching British television is all but mind-blowing... and more and more, checking out television programming on [i:27kxlrln]Nickelodeon[/i:27kxlrln] and the [i:27kxlrln]Disney Channel[/i:27kxlrln]. In the case of the former and channels like (for us) [i:27kxlrln]BBC America[/i:27kxlrln], the pigeon-holing of roles that you see in American television is damned well non-existent (oh, I KNOW I\'m calling down Judgment Day, Skynet-style, for saying this, but I try to avoid a lot of urban-based shows like [i:27kxlrln]The Wire[/i:27kxlrln], because I\'ve long since tired of seeing Black Americans always in the same basic pack of roles - criminals, police officers, probation/parole officers and lawyers (basically, involved with the criminal justice system) men of religion - you know, the roles that crystallized in the late 1960s to mid-1980\'s. Yes, I understand that it\'s an amazing show, one that reeks and drips with quality unlike most things you see on television overall - but, still... Watching shows like [i:27kxlrln]Red Dwarf[/i:27kxlrln], [i:27kxlrln]Doctor Who[/i:27kxlrln], [i:27kxlrln]Law and Order:UK[/i:27kxlrln] and (Oh, my God!) [i:27kxlrln]Torchwood[/i:27kxlrln] is even more fun when imagining how a lot of folks in the mainstream American audience would react to the things they see - and imagining just how fast they\'ll start screaming bloody murder and protesting... &quot;Think of the CHILDREN!&quot;\n\nFor the latter, it\'s the little things that actually and really do matter. It\'s little things that you see, things that you\'d never have seen twenty, or perhaps even ten years ago, that really show how different things have become. One example of this is the former Disney staple [i:27kxlrln]That\'s So Raven[/i:27kxlrln] and it\'s short-lived spin-off (thank you, writer\'s strike of 2008) [i:27kxlrln]Cory In The House[/i:27kxlrln]; the character of Victor Baxter was a professional chef who owned his own restaurant and later, was recruited to become the head chef at the White House; another example is Marion Moseby, the frenemy-style nemesis of the twin Martin brothers in The Suite Life franchise series. Moseby is the head manager of the flagship hotel in the Tipton Hotels chain (a four-/four-and-a-half star hotel in Boston), and later, takes on a equivalent role aboard the flagship cruise liner in the Tipton cruises fleet. He also has acted (in a very real manner) as a surrogate father to the twins; what is interesting is the fact that the issue of race is handled very much as I\'ve seen it dealt with in British television; when it\'s an issue, they talk about it, when it\'s not, the attitude is [i:27kxlrln]\'why are you still talking about it or bringing it up? We have other things to talk about and deal with?\'[/i:27kxlrln] \n\nYou see this more and more in their shows; the message is becoming, more and more, &quot;We like that one. Cast that one\', without as much regard to ethnic background as before (although it would be immature to think that some discussion doesn\'t still go into these things). This is even more prevalent in regards to Nickelodeon programs.\n\n\nPardon the slight going off-track. What I\'m saying is that yes, you still see that... but you also see that, in terms of those most vulnerable to those attitudes - the young - steps are being taken to actively do away with those attitudes and stereotypes. We\'ll have to deal with it still for some time to come - but oh, you can truly see the differences from not-so-long ago, and because of that, you can see when people are using images that are throwbacks to earlier times.','1fe2860d32d686517a1eb814af99d94f',0,'oA==','27kxlrln',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462605,32010,11,933,0,'63.84.81.41',1298304474,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Question: \'Boxing Daria\'; continuity','She likely would have had to get a parental permission form filled out for something like that.\n\nKnowing Li, Helen probably had to sign a waiver of some kind as well <!-- s:lol: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif\" alt=\":lol:\" title=\"Laughing\" /><!-- s:lol: -->\n\nAlso, wasn\'t it O\'Neill who was trying to get Daria to participate in the 1st place?

A small surge of peevishness rose at having the stillness disturbed. I gave serious thought to ignoring the ringing irritant but curiosity overrode that impulse. Moments later, I was glad that I did. The pleasure I felt at the voice on the other end took me by surprise.\n\n	Daria chuckled. “You sound too chipper for someone who flew in from Europe yesterday.”\n\n	“I slept for eleven hours,” I confessed. I needed it. I all but crawled out of the elevator when I got to the hotel yesterday evening. The jet travel, time change, tense driving conditions and large meal combined to sap all of the vim and vigour from me but sleep is a wonderful thing, sleep and a long, hot shower. I was not going to run a marathon today but I felt well enough to allow for normal brain function, enough to allow a question to form. “How did you know I was here?”\n\n	“You said that you were going to take a room at the [i:1zy77x9u]Embassy[/i:1zy77x9u] when we parted yesterday,” Daria replied. “Lucky for me you checked in under your own name. I was not certain that I remembered all of your aliases correctly.”\n\n	A ten-watt lit up over my head. “You’re here in the hotel?” I asked.\n\n	“At the front desk,” she said. “The clerk who is giving me a funny look after the aliases comment wouldn’t give out any information but she did connect me to you. What’s your room number?”\n\n	One thought leaped immediately to mind. I definitely had enough rest to leap to that conclusion. What man would not but the icy cold water of logic drowned that notion aborning. Her interest was more likely in Matyas Jasz then in Cole Barksdale. “Five twenty seven. It’s to the left after you get off the elevator.”\n\n	“I’ll be right up.”\n\n	I was fully if casually dressed and standing in the parlour/kitchenette section of my suite when Daria knocked three minutes later. She looked pretty. She was wearing the same beige coat and round furry hat that she wore yesterday. Bright eyes gleamed behind her thick glasses while a small smile lay gently on her lips but any lingering fantasies that I had withered on the spot. \n\n                 Beside her, clad in boots, blue jeans and a green varsity jacket with [i:1zy77x9u]Florida Polytechnic Institute [/i:1zy77x9u]blazoned across it in gold letters stood over six feet of lean muscle mass topped with a square head and a buzz cut so short that his hair colour was impossible to determine with any certainty. His rugged bulldog face gave no clue as to his age. A large nose that had been broken at least twice did nothing to enhance his looks but he had the sort of ugliness that many women found irresistible and gave men the confidence to follow him out of the trenches.  \n\n	“Come in,” I said stepping aside.\n\n	Daria nodded as the two of them entered but waited until I shut the door before speaking. “Cole Barksdale, Major William Hawthorne, United States Marine Corps.”\n\n	“A pleasure to meet you, Major,” I said shaking his hand. “I figured you for either military or police.”\n\n	“I’m both,” he replied in an unexpectedly smooth, cultured accent. Like his physical features, his voice gave away little about him. \n\n	“Will wears many hats,” Daria said shedding her coat. “The pertinent one for today is that he’s currently on assignment with the Department of Homeland Security.”\n\n	From an inner pocket of his jacket, Major Hawthorne hauled out a leather wallet with a badge and an ID that collaborated her statement. I briefly examined the card accepting it at face value but made no reply.  \n\n                  Neither police nor government officials aroused any particular fear in me. I knew that the DHS would take a dim view of the three forged passports that I had, one of which was in a closet not eight feet from where we stood but I did not worry about that. If one overlooked a penchant for breaking and entering or accessing computer files that I had no legitimate right to when the situation called for it, I was essentially honest but occasionally I had the need to travel under the guise of a Canadian, British, or German national. I was as proud of my country as the next citizen was but being an American can be inconvenient at times and in certain places. \n\n	“Daria said that you uncovered some interesting intel on Matyas Jasz,” Major Hawthorne said. “I’d like to see it, if I may.”\n\n	He phrased it politely but nonetheless gave the impression that he did not expect my answer to be no. That was not a problem for me. I had no great paranoia when it came to the Federal Government. I believed that for the most part, they were still the good guys. Even if I wanted to get on my hind legs about it, I was not a private investigator of the sort that the law recognized. I gathered the information on the behest of Tom Sloan but I had no legal standing to claim client privilege. \n\n	I took Daria’s coat and hat hanging them in the same closet with the passport that identified me as one of Her Majesty’s loyal subjects. Once done, I snagged my HP Pavilion laptop. \n\n	“Have a seat,” I said tossing a nod at the dinette table. As soon as I entered the passwords and called up the files he wanted, I placed the computer in front of the Major who, before draping his jacket on the back of a chair, extracted a small notebook from yet another inner pocket.  I sat down next to him as Daria took the chair on his other side. \n\n	I was not sure how skilled the Major was at reading ledgers and financial statements but knowledgeable or not he asked no questions as he methodically scanned all that I had uncovered. His only comment was the occasional grunt or the jotting down a brief note. Daria glanced over to me after a few moments, rewarding me with a small smile. My cooperation earned me a few brownie points.\n\n	After some twenty minutes, Major Hawthorne looked up. “Mind if I copy all of this?”\n\n	“Knock yourself out,” I replied.\n\n	He quickly inserted a flash drive and tapped the necessary keys before turning his attention back to me. “So Jasz is thinking about a toehold in the U.S.?” \n\n	I sensed that the question was not rhetorical. He wanted my opinion. I gave it a brief moment’s thought. “Maybe but it would be out of character for him. He likes to stay in his comfort zone dealing with people he knows. Up until now, he hasn’t shown any inclination to move beyond Europe or south-western Asia.”\n\n	“So why the sudden interest in a partnership with an American investment firm?” the Major asked.\n\n	I shrugged as I shook my head. I could not answer that question. “I’m an accountant. I can examine decisions and extrapolate where they’ll lead. There’s always the hard data to support my guesses but the motives behind the decisions are another realm entirely. People can make illogical choices.”\n\n	“Do you think that funnelling money through Grace, Sloan, and Page is illogical,” Daria asked.\n\n	I rubbed my chin finding a small spot that I had missed. “Not exactly illogical but not the best choice either. It’s a solid financial concern but a relatively small one. The monies that Jasz is proposing to invest with them would be a significant portion of their capital especially considering how many dollars a euro can purchase these days.”\n\n	“A large enough percentage to bring attention to it,” Daria concluded frowning in thought.\n\n	“Yes,” I agreed.\n\n	Folding his hands behind his head, Major Hawthorne leaned back. “Maybe Jasz is just testing the waters getting a feel for the players and lay of the land, so to speak.”\n\n	I was on more solid ground here. “No, the outlay that’s on the table indicates a serious proposition. Even with his ill-gotten millions, this is a huge chunk of change for Jasz.”  \n\n	Like Daria, the Major’s brow puckered in thought. The gesture only increased his resemblance to a bulldog. “So we have Jasz who like most of his ilk is untrusting and rarely ventures into untested waters suddenly proposing to establish an investment fund with a small financial institution on another continent.”\n\n	“The world has shrunk, Major,” I replied. “It is an era of globalization and instant communication.”\n\n	“Yeah, that’s so,” mused Will then he tapped a finger on my laptop. “This thing can talk to another one like it ten thousand miles away in a heartbeat. Technology changes but you know people just don’t. They are what they are.”\n\n	“What are you driving at?” I asked.\n\n	“Jasz either knows someone at Grace, Sloan, and Page or that someone there is a friend of a friend,” Daria answered. \n\n                 The Major nodded. “That’s how I see it. I think that Monday I’ll gather a roster of GS&amp;P executives and take a look at who has been travelling where. See if someone might have crossed paths with one of Jasz’s minions. We got more than enough thugs, home grown and otherwise, as it is without another one hitting our shores.”\n\n                “It would be more efficient to discover who at firm brought the proposal to them in the first place,” I pointed out.\n\n                “True,” Will agreed. “Who was it?”\n\n	“Haven’t the foggiest,” I said. “But I can get you in contact with someone who probably does.”\n\n	I retrieved my cell phone from the bedroom. A minute later, Tom Sloan was on the line. “I got you a bit of help in your efforts to prevent the Silbernes Netz deal,” I told him.\n\n	“I’ll take any help I can get,” he replied brightly. \n\n	“I’m giving the phone to Major William Hawthorne, USMC, currently with US Department of Homeland Security,” I told him. \n\n                “Homeland Security,” Tom snorted. “There’s an oxymoron for you but I’ll always give a fellow marine the benefit of a doubt. Put him on.”\n\n	I handed the phone to the Major. “Tom Sloan.”  \n\n	I stood back as he identified himself. Daria turned her attention to the artificial flower arrangement on the table or rather her eyes were on it; her thoughts were far, far away. \n\n              I tried not to let my mind linger on her but Daria’s presence pierced a part of me that I tried to keep corralled. I was by nature and habit a solitary somewhat antisocial man but as I crept into middle age, the allure of hearth and home grew.  The urge, as George Washington so famously paraphrased from the Book of Micah, to be able to sit under my own vine and fig tree instead of living out of a suitcase. That daydream always include someone with whom to share the rest of my days but that woman has proven as elusive as the rest of the fantasy.   \n\n	The conversation between Tom Sloan and Will Hawthorn wound up quickly. My attention snapped back to it when I heard the Major say, “You’re welcome.” \n\n\n	He handed the phone back to me with an indication that Tom wanted a word with me. “Yes?” I asked.\n\n	“Thanks, Cole,” he said. “This might tip everything in our favour. You know some interesting people.”\n\n	“Actually, I only met the Major a few minutes ago,” I told him. “The woman I introduced you to yesterday, Daria Morgendorffer from the State Department, brought him around this morning.”\n\n	“Daria, eh” he repeated enigmatically before continuing briskly. “Thanks, again, Cole. You went over and beyond what I paid you for.” \n\n	I closed the phone after the good-byes. Major Hawthorn and Daria had stood. He extracted the flash drive before looking at his watch.\n\n	“Best be getting back.” He said. “Detroit kicks off in fifteen minutes.” \n\n	“Did you get a name?” I asked.\n\n	“Yes,” Will said and left it at that.\n\n	His tone told me that he was not going to share that titbit of information but then again, it was not my problem. I was not going to lose any sleep over the mystery of Jasz’s American friend. “I’ll get your coat,” I said to Daria.\n\n	“Get yours also,” she replied.\n\n	“Huh?”\n\n	Again, the Mona Lisa smile returned but her expression was unreadable. “To quote somebody, your generosity with your time has earned you a free meal. You’re having Thanksgiving dinner at the Morgendorffers.”\n\n	“Thank you,” I said sincerely. “But I think that I’ll decline.”\n\n	The Major looked slightly sheepish. “Please reconsider, Cole. We need you there. You’re our cover story, so to speak.”\n\n	“Oh,” Not a brilliant reply but wonderfully noncommittal.\n\n	Daria grinned mischievously. “I wanted Will to get a look at your files but Quinn would hit the roof if she found him working over Thanksgiving so I let everyone know that I met a Barksdale yesterday. Predictably, my Aunt Rita insisted on having you over for Thanksgiving dinner which gave Will and me the excuse to come here.”\n\n	I rubbed my chin again. “Okay so who’s Quinn and why would your aunt want to invite me to dinner?” \n\n	“Quinn’s my wife,” Major Hawthorn said with a hint of pride and more than a hint of love. “I’ve been putting in some long hours lately and I promised her that I would relax over the four-day weekend.”\n\n	“Quinn’s also my sister,” Daria said picking up the narrative. “As for my Aunt Rita, she like my mother is a Barksdale from Virginia and Rita has the typical Southern fascination with family history. She could not resist meeting another Barksdale and comparing genealogies.”   \n\n	I nodded. I will confess that I could not help the little burst of delight at the revelation that she and Will were not a couple. I could not pinpoint what it was exactly about Daria that had captured my interest but if being bombarded with questions about my great-grandfather meant more time in her company, it was a small price to pay. “I’ll grab a jacket.”\n\n(*)\n\n	The rest of the Morgendorffers and Barksdales Jake and Helen, Daria’s parents, her sister Quinn who looked nothing like Daria, Her aunts Amy and Rita along with Rita’s daughter Erin and her husband Brian all greeted me like the Prodigal Son when Daria ushered me through their front door.  Kin or not, they made me feel welcomed. The price of admission was a quick synopsis of my life from growing up on the ranch in Wyoming through my college years at Nebraska State, my stint as an Air Force Intelligence Officer and Treasury Agent, to my current gig that I sketched in broad outlines only.   \n\n                 Rita Barksdale pounced on me the moment I was done with my quickie bio. She peppered with questions. I immediately realised that she was a serious student of Barksdale history and that I did not have the answers she wanted. I phoned for help.\n\n	“How in the world did you find yourselves in the company of Barksdales in Maryland?”  My eldest brother, Matthew, asked when I explained the situation to him.\n\n	“One followed me home, sorta,” I replied. Daria standing behind the sofa grinned crookedly at me. Matt’s booming baritone easily reached her ears. \n\n	“You haven’t been home in three years,” Matt pointed out. “You haven’t really been home since you turned eighteen.”\n\n	What could I say? It was true enough. Generations of Barksdales had been believers in primogeniture. No child but the eldest son had ever inherited the ranch. Becoming a foreman like my brother Linus would have been the best I could have hoped for if I had stayed on the Flying 4 but spending my days watching cows eat grass did not appeal to me neither did being a small town lawyer like my brother James. Since then, the number of weeks that I spent back home could be counted on my fingers with an assist from couple of toes. \n\n	“Well, put Miss Barksdale on the line,” Matt said after a moment. “We’ll see if you’re amongst kinfolk or not.”\n\n	“Sure,” I said.\n\n	“Cole.”\n\n	“Yeah?”\n\n	“I’d appreciated it if you spent Christmas here with us,” Matt said. “Everyone misses you.”\n\n	I inaudibly sighed, envisioning eight-foot snowdrifts.  “I’ll be there,” I promised.\n\n	Rita snatched the phone from me the moment I extended it to her and quickly exited the room, leaving behind the sounds of the game. Daria joined the other women minus Rita in the kitchen leaving the men in the living room to watch the game. Jake looked me over once or twice as if trying to make up his mind about me and asked a couple of more questions but he was friendly enough about it. Brian let me know that he also was formerly in Intelligence but these days he was a real estate agent. \n\n	“Making some major ducats,” he said. “But sometimes I miss the excitement. I guess you know what I mean.” \n\n	“I wasn’t in the field when I was in the AFISRA,” I told him. \n\n	“The what?” Brian asked.\n\n	“The Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Agency,” I replied. \n\n	“Oh, yeah,” he said. “Sorry, Brain fart there you know.” \n\n	I nodded but did not call him on it even though I was certain that he was never a field agent. I was not even certain that he was with any Intelligence agency at all. “I did mainly aerial and satellite photo analysis,” I continued. “Then, like I said earlier I was with Treasury’s Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence doing basically what I do now, forensic accounting.” \n\n	“Too bad,” Brian replied. “You and Daria both stuck on the side lines. I’d tell you what I did but most of it is still classified, you know.”\n\n	“Sure, I understand,” I replied noting that Will and Jake kept their eyes riveted on the shaving cream commercial on the television. Both men were struggling not to laugh although Brian seemed to remain oblivious to their titanic labour.  \n\n               Ten minutes later, Rita rushed back. She nearly knocked me over as I stood pulling me into a fierce hug “We’re sixth cousins,” she gushed. “I need to get to your ranch and meet the rest of the family.”\n\n              “Wait until summer,” I gasped trying to breath.\n\n              “Daddy would have been thrilled,” she said. \n\n              “Really?” I managed.\n\n              “Oh yes indeed,” Rita squealed as she released me. “Your Great, Great, Great, Great, Great-Grandfather and mine was the same, Geoffrey Edmund Barksdale of Warwick County, Virginia.”\n\n             “Wouldn’t that make us fifth cousins?” I asked.\n\n             Rita paused cutting her eyes to one side in thought. I saw her subtly running a thumb across her fingers counting the generations and the relationship between them. She smiled after a moment.\n\n               “You’re right,” she confirmed. “Fifth cousins; fifth once removed for Erin, Daria, and Quinn.  Your line comes from Geoffrey’s youngest son Christopher who was born in 1791 while we trace our family through his eldest son, George, who was born in 1775. Geoffrey had three other sons but one died without issue and the other two lines became extinct in 1864 and 1927 respectively.”\n\n\n“I didn’t know the family came from Virginia,” I told her. \n\n“It does and before that Lincolnshire, England,” Rita supplied. “Except where we put down roots in the Blue Ridge Mountains, your branch kept moving westward, Ohio, Iowa, and finally Wyoming.”\n\nI nodded. “I knew only as far back as Peter Barksdale. He’s the one that settled on the ranch a few years after the Civil War. He was a sergeant with the 11th Iowa Calvary Regiment. We still have his uniform and Spencer rifle back home.”\n\n“During the War Between the States, Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Barksdale served with distinction with the Harrisonburg Howitzers while his son Captain Paul Barksdale fought bravely in the Army of Northern Virginia’s cavalry corps,” Rita stated proudly.\n\nI noted the phrasing and the tone of voice. “United Daughters of the Confederacy,” I said gently teasing. \n\nRita chuckled. “Of course and Daughters of the American Revolution.”\n\n“Me too,” Erin said as she brought in a pitcher of iced tea to the Morgendorffer living room. “So we are cousins. That’s cool.”\n\n“And they’re still dreaming of a southern triumph,” Amy Barksdale said as she and Helen emerged from the kitchen.\n\n“Cole here is a cousin,” Rita gaily replied ignoring her sister’s comment. “Our fifth.”\n\nAmy winked giving me a misshapen smile so reminiscent of her niece. “Yes, we heard. Your voice managed to carry through an open door,” she said. “My advice to you, Cousin Cole is run; flee as fast as you can.”\n\n“You’re doubly welcome here then,” Helen said to me. \n\n“Daddy would have been happy,” Rita repeated, squeezing my arm.\n\nShe had said that before. It piqued my curiosity.  “Why?”\n\nRita sighed sadly. “In our line, there was only one son born in every generation from George Barksdale onward until Daddy,” she explained. “And he had only daughters. He died thinking that he was the last of the Barksdales. He would have been tickled pink that there are four Barksdales in Wyoming one of them a state Senator like he was.”\n\nHelen snorted. “Daughters weren’t good enough for him.”\n\nRita visibly bristled at her sister’s comment but she replied evenly. “He loved us to distraction, Helen, and you know it. He regretted not having a son but he never regretted any of us.”\n\n“He had an odd way of showing it,” Helen said. “Tossing me out of the house when I was eighteen.”\n\n“Tossing you out?” Rita exclaimed. “Honey, I was there that day. You screamed in his face that he was a reactionary fossil, a relic from an age that was a blight on America and the world. Then you, on your own volition, packed a duffle bag and stormed out of the house to join a bunch of drugged out hippies with a VW bus heading for California.” \n\n“His politics drove me away,” Helen shot back. “He was a dyed-in-the-wool segregationist and a chauvinist who thought women should be barefoot and pregnant.” \n\n“A man who came to recant his racist views then who set up a very generous scholarship fund for the descendants of the family slaves,” Rita growled. “A chauvinist who willingly paid for all of our college educations even yours when you came crawling back despite you choosing to go to that left-wing Yankee school.”\n\n“The scholarships are to Virginia A&amp;M only, a HBCU,” Helen retorted. “And I worked my way through law school.”\n\nWhatever Rita was going to say died on her lips. She jumped like the rest of us at the loud bang that rang out. Quinn, a small smile played on her face but her eyes were hard as agates as she lowered the large pot and ladle that she used as an attention getter.\n\n“We can show our newfound cousin our worst side another time,” she smoothly began in a conversational tone. “But for now, let’s pretend that we’re all angels and have a peaceful Thanksgiving dinner.”\n\nShe looked around. Satisfied that peace had been restored she continued.  “Okay, since the women did most of the cooking, I’m going to ask the men to carry everything to the sideboard. What we generally do, Cole, is set up a buffet line. It’s easier than always passing dishes up and down the table.”\n\nI nodded as I headed to the kitchen with the rest of the menfolk all of whom carefully skirted Rita and Helen who were still fuming abet silently. \n\n(*)\n\n“Should I apologise?” Daria asked.\n\nWe were walking the streets of Lawndale, trying to fend off the lethargy that follows Thanksgiving dinner as sure as night follows day.  The sun shining weakly in the grey sky had no effect on the newly fallen snow but it was a pleasant stroll since the bitter winds of yesterday were in hiding. The company made it more so.\n\n“Apologise for what?” I asked.\n\n“Prolonged exposure to my family,” replied Daria.\n\nI laughed. “I guess everyone feels that way but no, there’s no need to apologise. I liked everyone there and after all, they are my family too.”\n\n“I think that a gap of six generations lets you off the hook on claiming kinship,” Daria responded stopping in front of a large two-story house. It was evidently empty and looked as though it had been for some time. Its yellow paint was peeling from the walls in large strips but the way Daria stared at it I knew that it meant something to her at one time.\n\n“Childhood home,” I asked.\n\n“No,” Daria replied despondently with a shake of her head. “But I spent a lot of time here when I was in high school. It was my best friend Jane’s home.” \n\nI waited giving her the choice to elaborate or not. She obliquely did after a few moments. “Do you have any friends, Cole?” she asked. \n\nIt was my turn to shake my head. “No,” I said. “Not really. Not for a long time. The ones I had sorta drifted away after school as our paths diverged.” \n\nDaria graced me with a small if rueful smile. “Same here,” she said. “Jane and I were as close as sisters. Our friendship even survived me taking a boyfriend from her.” \n\n“You stole her boyfriend and she forgave you?” I asked incredulously. That did not strike me as typical female behaviour. My experience had been that they would hold a grudge with the tenacity of a tick and the memory of an elephant. \n\nThe rueful smile stayed in place. “I didn’t exactly steal her boyfriend,” she answered waving a dismissive hand. “It was…convoluted. We dated for a while before breaking up.  The three of us remained friends but as time passed we just drifted apart.”\n\n“And you haven’t seen either in years,” I guessed.\n\n“It’s been a couple of years since I saw Jane,” she replied. “But I had a late lunch with my old boyfriend just yesterday.”\n\n“You’re kidding,” I chuckled. “Tom Sloan?”\n\n“No, I’m not,” she said.  \n\n“I thought there were some undercurrents,” I confessed truthfully.\n\n“Some,” Daria concurred. “No regrets but I could not help but to ponder a few ‘what ifs’ last night.”\n\nI nodded in understanding. The ‘what ifs’ dance across my mind a lot more the last couple of years. Something about turning forty, I suppose, sets a man to thinking like nothing else other than perhaps marriage. You look back at all the major decisions and wonder about roads not taken and what path is tomorrow’s correct one. \n\nDaria tore herself away from the contemplation of the yellow house. I fell in beside her as we began to retrace our steps. \n\n“We exchange emails occasionally,” Daria said after we rounded a corner. “I get updates on her two kids, her husband, and her students at the school where she teaches art, the animals on her small farm, the weather in New Hampshire but we don’t really share like we used to do.”\n\n“It sounds as if she has a good life,” I replied. “But she lives in a different world from you. She probably arms herself with disinfectants trying to protect her students from the flu whereas you arm yourself with a nine millimetre to protect yourself from the likes of Jasz.”\n\n“Actually I carry a Walther PPK/S,” Daria said. “What about you?”\n\nShe did not want to talk about her old friend. No problem. I was more than willing to talk about myself instead. \n\n“I don’t carry a weapon of any sort,” I replied. Technically true although I always have a couple of everyday items on me that perform admirably in a pinch. In the past, however, jujitsu has been all that I have usually needed in the rare confrontations I have had in the course of my work. \n\nShe nodded but said nothing. I let her lapse into silence as we made our way back to her parents’ house. I was content just to be with her even without conversation. She stayed quiet until we reached the front door. \n\nDaria cocked her head slightly but her face was unreadable. “You’re easy to talk to,” she said before pushing the door open. \n\nAs I lay in my hotel bed that night, I tried to read some meaning into the statement but sleep came before any answer did. I only thing that I knew with certainty was that I was in love with a woman I truly met just yesterday','0a6d86656a6e2e34d8cc883a2bf164d9',0,'YQ==','1zy77x9u',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462629,20222,6,542,0,'68.62.209.16',1298317660,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Cole Barksdale','[size=150:1fwut2an]So a couple of days after teasing about thread necromancy I revive a three year-old story.

There was a lot more &quot;sir&quot; and &quot;ma\'am&quot; in the Bible Belt than in Houston but even then it lacked the formality (and uniforms) of Hogwarts. And even if someone forgot to say &quot;sir&quot; it wouldn\'t result in any kind of punishment as it did at Hogwarts (except maybe in the principal\'s office...).\n\nAnd even then it\'s complicated because the same people who said &quot;sir&quot; &amp; &quot;ma\'am&quot; would later sing songs about killing teachers and blowing up the school and express vulgar obscenities about those they\'d otherwise show civility &amp; respect for in a different situation, including each other.

OK, [i:1naakzxp]now[/i:1naakzxp] it\'s close to being true.[/quote:1naakzxp]\n\nThis exchange is one of the reasons why watching British television is all but mind-blowing... and more and more, checking out television programming on [i:1naakzxp]Nickelodeon[/i:1naakzxp] and the [i:1naakzxp]Disney Channel[/i:1naakzxp]. In the case of the former and channels like (for us) [i:1naakzxp]BBC America[/i:1naakzxp], the pigeon-holing of roles that you see in American television is damned well non-existent (oh, I KNOW I\'m calling down Judgment Day, Skynet-style, for saying this, but I try to avoid a lot of urban-based shows like [i:1naakzxp]The Wire[/i:1naakzxp], because I\'ve long since tired of seeing Black Americans always in the same basic pack of roles - criminals, police officers, probation/parole officers and lawyers (basically, involved with the criminal justice system) men of religion - you know, the roles that crystallized in the late 1960s to mid-1980\'s. Yes, I understand that it\'s an amazing show, one that reeks and drips with quality unlike most things you see on television overall - but, still... Watching shows like [i:1naakzxp]Red Dwarf[/i:1naakzxp], [i:1naakzxp]Doctor Who[/i:1naakzxp], [i:1naakzxp]Law and Order:UK[/i:1naakzxp] and (Oh, my God!) [i:1naakzxp]Torchwood[/i:1naakzxp] is even more fun when imagining how a lot of folks in the mainstream American audience would react to the things they see - and imagining just how fast they\'ll start screaming bloody murder and protesting... &quot;Think of the CHILDREN!&quot;\n\nFor the latter, it\'s the little things that actually and really do matter. It\'s little things that you see, things that you\'d never have seen twenty, or perhaps even ten years ago, that really show how different things have become. One example of this is the former Disney staple [i:1naakzxp]That\'s So Raven[/i:1naakzxp] and it\'s short-lived spin-off (thank you, writer\'s strike of 2008) [i:1naakzxp]Cory In The House[/i:1naakzxp]; the character of Victor Baxter was a professional chef who owned his own restaurant and later, was recruited to become the head chef at the White House; another example is Marion Moseby, the frenemy-style nemesis of the twin Martin brothers in The Suite Life franchise series. Moseby is the head manager of the flagship hotel in the Tipton Hotels chain (a four-/four-and-a-half star hotel in Boston), and later, takes on a equivalent role aboard the flagship cruise liner in the Tipton cruises fleet. He also has acted (in a very real manner) as a surrogate father to the twins; what is interesting is the fact that the issue of race is handled very much as I\'ve seen it dealt with in British television; when it\'s an issue, they talk about it, when it\'s not, the attitude is [i:1naakzxp]\'why are you still talking about it or bringing it up? We have other things to talk about and deal with?\'[/i:1naakzxp] \n\nYou see this more and more in their shows; the message is becoming, more and more, &quot;We like that one. Cast that one\', without as much regard to ethnic background as before (although it would be immature to think that some discussion doesn\'t still go into these things). This is even more prevalent in regards to Nickelodeon programs.\n\n\nPardon the slight going off-track. What I\'m saying is that yes, you still see that... but you also see that, in terms of those most vulnerable to those attitudes - the young - steps are being taken to actively do away with those attitudes and stereotypes. We\'ll have to deal with it still for some time to come - but oh, you can truly see the differences from not-so-long ago, and because of that, you can see when people are using images that are throwbacks to earlier times.[/quote:1naakzxp]Well yes, that too, but that\'s a different point from the one I was making.\n\nIf you ask the question \'Which ethnic group has been most consistently and systematically parodied and caricatured over the centuries in the name of hateful racism?\', then the answer has to be \'Depends on where\'. If you mean \'Which ethnic group has been most consistently and systematically parodied and caricatured over the centuries in the name of hateful racism, [i:1naakzxp]in the USA[/i:1naakzxp]?\', then the answer is (unless I\'m much mistaken) \'African-Americans\'. But in another country, the answer would be different.\n\nA while back I watched on DVD a French film called (in English) [i:1naakzxp]The Dinner Game[/i:1naakzxp]. The DVD had both dubbed and subtitled versions. At one point, the subtitled version had a translation of the French which made it clear that a character talking on the phone was describing himself (falsely) as Belgian, but in the same scene the dubbed version had him describing himself as Polish. I am told that the exact same kind of \'moron\' jokes are told by the English and the Australians as Irish jokes, by the New Zealanders as Australian jokes, by the Irish as Kerry jokes, by the Americans and the Hungarians as Polish jokes, by the Poles as Russian jokes, by the Russians as Ukrainian jokes, by the French and the Dutch as Belgian jokes, by the Indians as Sikh jokes, by the Pakistanis as Pashtun jokes, by the Canadians as Newfoundlander jokes, by the Germans as East Frisian jokes, by the Argentinians as Galician jokes, by the Swiss as Austrian jokes, by the Japanese as Korean jokes, by the Norwegians as Swedish jokes, and by the Swedes as Norwegian jokes.\n\nThe point being, again, that who gets stereotyped depends on who\'s doing the stereotyping.','a3923ab137cc53f32c2a3286dddcecf4',0,'oA==','1naakzxp',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462693,31919,3,59,0,'98.214.72.176',1298333804,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The Completely Random Post Thread: Common Cold Edition','[quote=&quot;thatLONERchick&quot;:hvwqkvih][quote=&quot;Brother Grimace&quot;:hvwqkvih][quote=&quot;Kem&quot;:hvwqkvih][quote=&quot;thatLONERchick&quot;:hvwqkvih]i am off heating pads for life.

An excellent example of that is the \'gangster\' culture of early 20th Century America - which was directly influenced by their cinematic counterparts, as envisioned and shaped by Hollywood and Wall Street.\n\nThat, unfortunately, was also the case in the late 1980\'s and early- to mid 1990\'s with the urban \'gangsta rap\' and \'grunge\' movements.','fcc91155ce5b64a2df95505a6ff5e197',0,'oA==','3nnw16oj',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462698,31986,4,59,0,'98.214.72.176',1298335358,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Do you find this insulting?','[quote=&quot;NightGoblyn&quot;:1o3ew1vv][quote=&quot;MJPollard&quot;:1o3ew1vv][quote=&quot;NightGoblyn&quot;:1o3ew1vv]Yeah, but it\'s not anymore ridiculous looking than a George W.

The National Guard reports that it had been ordered to enforce a city-wide lockdown with deadly force after it was discovered that the riots are being caused by a virus that causes mass hysteria and is easily passed from person to person. Citizens of Lawndale, remain in your homes and remain calm.”[/i:3656rzbh]\n\nDaria turned off the TV with her foot, leaving a sparking hole in the screen.\n“Damn it!”\n“Daria, you’ve got to calm down. Things could be worse, you know,” Tom said, trying to cheer her up.\n“’Could be worse?’” Daria said, turning and pointing the shotgun at a spot where Tom’s legs meet his body. “How could they be worse, Tom?! We’re trapped in the middle of a zombie apocalypse and my sister is lost out there somewhere, Not to mention the lack of food and ammo we currently have. How could it be worse?!”\nPanicking as he realized the safety was off on Daria’s shotgun, Tom quickly backpedaled. “Your right, it can’t get much worse than this.”\n“Daria?”\n“What, Jodie?” Daria said, fighting to keep an edge from her voice.\n“We need to find somewhere safe to hole up until this is over. Maybe we can make it to my house?”\n“Jodie, hiding is not going to work. We need to get to McGrundy. He started this with those drugs, maybe he has a way to stop it before everyone in the city is dead.”\n“Damn it, Daria, who put you in charge here?!” Jodie snapped, cringing as pain shot up her leg.\n“Nobody put her in charge,” said Jane softly. “But she’s the one who took charge when all Hell broke loose. Why, do you think you should be in charge, Jodie?”\n“Why not? I’m the one who’s actually been in charge of something before.”\nAn icy silence fell on the room. When Daria spoke a moment later, the temperature dropped even further.\n“Jodie, you’re too scared to pick up a weapon and you’re injured. You probably think of us as your bodyguards at this point. If you want to go hide, be my guest. I’m going for McGrundy.”\nWith that, Daria turned and walked out the door. Jane followed immediately, with Tom and Ted right behind her. Jodie looked at Mack and smiled.\n“If we can find a car that still works, we can probably be at my place in less than an hour. Give me a hand?” She asked, holding out her hand as she tried to stand up. Mack, meanwhile, had found a set of crutches in the closet and handed them to her.\n“What am I supposed to do with these, baby?” she asked sweetly.\n“You walk with them,” he said, as though to a child.\n“Can’t you carry me?”\n“Not while I’m carrying this,” he said, holding up a golf club.\n“Where’s your gun?”\n“I dropped it when I caught you.”\n“Why’d you do something like that? How are you going to protect me now?”\nHe paused, staring at her. Then, he walked out the front door and shouted, “Daria! Wait up!”\n\nQuinn and Stacy had only gone about a mile when they heard a crowd coming their way. Upon seeing hundreds of zombies approaching, they turned and ran down a side street. One block later, they crashed into Daria and the others.\n“Daria! Help!” Quinn shouted, running past without offering assistance. Ted ran after them as the others turned and ran down another street. Confused, the crowd paused, then followed the trio.\n\nTed was right behind the panicked girls, but knew the crowd was right behind him. He watched the girls get to an ancient fire escape ladder, and knew they would need time to get up it to safety. He turned, sword ready, and cut into the crowd with a battle-cry he didn’t believe he could make even as it passed his lips. He kept up his stand until the crowd surged, and he was dragged into the midst of the biting horde.\n\nJane and Tom looked around, wondering how they had gotten separated from Daria and Mack.\n“I knew I should have had the map,” Jane said with a smirk, giving her ex a gentle punch on the shoulder. He opened his mouth to reply, but instead raised his pistol and shot a stray zombie in the face over her shoulder.\n“Thanks,” she said as she massaged her ear. Deafened by the shot, she didn’t hear his scream as a zombie bit into his shoulder.\n\nDaria and Mack found themselves alone outside McGrundy’s. Neither knew what had happened to the others, but they knew that the answer to a cure might lie inside.\n“Mack, are you sure you want to do this?” Daria asked quietly as she took off her boots so that she could move silently.\n“No, I’m not,” he said as he started walking. She followed him to the door, and they both entered, weapons ready.\n\nJodie limped down the street, following the sounds of a helicopter that she prayed she had actually heard. Turning a corner, the backwash almost knocked her to the ground.\n“Hey!” she screamed, and limped towards the helicopter, waving her arms.\n\nStacy saw Ted get pulled into the mob, but kept climbing the ladder, hoping that they could get away. Quinn, just a few rungs below her, was trying to keep up.\nSuddenly, one of the rungs on the antiquated ladder came loose in Quinn’s hand, throwing her off balance. Her other hand slipped and she fell towards the crowd.\n\nDaria and Mack entered the main room of McGrundy’s and found the man pressing buttons on the nuclear warhead’s control panel.\n“McGrundy, what are you doing?” Daria called out.\n“What I must,” he growled, his voice more animal than human. “My children are dying, and they will not escape the city. They will not starve. I will let them die in fire!”\nHe slammed his hand down on the control panel and dived at Daria. Mack’s shot caught him in mid-air, and he fell to the ground hard.\n“Daria, go turn that thing off,” Mack said, keeping the gun on McGrundy. “All right, you old bastard. How do we undo this zombie infection you caused? Where’s the cure?”\n“No cure,” he gurgled, spitting blood.\n“Really?”\n“No cure,” he repeated.\n[b:3656rzbh]BANG![/b:3656rzbh]\n“Darn,” said Mack as he blew McGrundy’s head off. He turned to Daria and asked, “Got that nuke turned off yet?”\n“I can’t,” she whispered. He looked and saw that McGrundy had destroyed the control panel of the currently ticking nuclear bomb.\n“Daria, what do we do now?”\n“I don’t know.” Those three whispered words scared him more than anything he’d seen that day.\nThe counter ticked off the remaining time.\n[i:3656rzbh]5:13\n5:12\n5:11[/i:3656rzbh]\n\nAcross town, Jodie had sweet talked her way onto the helicopter. The people on board were a group who had found the traffic-copter from a local new station and gotten it working. Having made a stop to rescue their families, they learned that their families had joined the mob. As she climbed in, she watched out the door as a crowd began to close in on them.\n“Let’s go! Let’sgo!Let’sgo!Let’sgo!”\n\nStacy closed her eyes to block out the screams as Quinn was ripped to shreds by the crowd, and finally reached the roof. Looking down, she saw the mob pouring into the building, no doubt making their way up the stairs.\nThey began filing out of the small door that lead to the roof, and she fired until she had no ammo left in her pistol.\n\nThe zombie dead, Jane examined Tom’s shoulder.\n“Did it get me?” he asked.\nJane fought to keep from vomiting at the bloodstained bite under his shirt.\n“Yeah,” she whispered softly. He turned and handed her the revolver.\n“Please, Jane. Don’t let that happen to me,” he whispered. Fighting back tears, she raised the revolver to his forehead.\n\n[i:3656rzbh]4:08\n4:07\n4:06[/i:3656rzbh]\n\n“Daria, there’s got to be something we can do!” Mack shouted at her as she sat in a daze on the floor next to the bomb.\nSilently, she stared at the wall.\nHe sighed and gave up trying to piece the control panel back together. Sitting next to her, he lightly held her hand.\n“Mack?” she whispered.\n“Yeah,” he whispered back.\n“Why didn’t you go with Jodie?”\nHe sighed. “You’ve got to have your priorities straight,” he said, wrapping his arms around her and holding her close.\n\nThe helicopter, now over 100 feet in the air, fought to keep control, but almost a dozen zombies had climbed onto it and were fighting their way in. Jodie screamed as her father’s hands grabbed her. She saw his vacant eyes for a split-second before she was thrown from the helicopter. \n\n[i:3656rzbh]3:18\n3:17\n3:16[/i:3656rzbh]\n\nStacy threw away the exhausted pistol and dived into the crowd, fists flying.\n\nJane held the revolver against his forehead, praying that a solution would show itself.\n“Jane, I love you,” he whispered.\n“I love you too, Tom,” she whispered back, and pulled the trigger.\nBefore his body had hit the ground, she placed the barrel to her temple and pulled the trigger again.\n\n[i:3656rzbh]3:01\n3:00\n2:59[/i:3656rzbh]\n\nAs he embraced her, Daria turned her head to say something, but their lips met in a brief kiss. Pulling back in surprise, they began kissing fiercely. He pulled her close, tasting her as her hands slid under his shirt and pulled it up.\nTheir lips pulled apart as she pulled his shirt off, and he asked, “Daria, what are you doing?”\nShe pinned him down under her with more force than he could have believed she possessed. Leaning up, she unzipped her jacket and pulled her shirt off.\n“Mack, please don’t let me die a virgin, she whispered desperately. She kissed him passionately as they fumbled with their clothing.\n\n[i:3656rzbh]1:19\n1:18\n1:17\n\n“This is a breaking news story: The city of Lawndale has been completely overtaken by mob rule.

After a few minutes of waiting, Daria opened the bathroom door and began to loudly whistle the Last Post. \n \n“In a minute! Keeping up [i:2i7g71f5]this[/i:2i7g71f5] standard takes work!”\n \n“Sixty, fifty nine, fifty eight...”\n \nDaria got to “minus twenty” by the time Quinn finished and left. “All yours!” was all her sister said, with no retaliatory slurs or scowling; she must have been in a good mood. Something must be happening socially or date-wise today. Daria herself had plans too: pizza and TV with Jane, phone chat with Tom, and reading about the fall of Gormenghast.  Hardly the things a TV show would be made of, but a rest was as good as a change in her mind.\n \nQuinn hadn’t been the only one in a good mood: when she got down, her mother was actually [i:2i7g71f5]cooking breakfast[/i:2i7g71f5]. Even when she was in one of her guilty moods and trying to prove to herself she was a proper mother, it was just defrosting waffles and [i:2i7g71f5]maybe[/i:2i7g71f5] some eggs. Now she seemed to be doing a full cooked breakfast... or, at least, trying. As Daria watched (and her father hid behind a newspaper), black smoke poured from the grill and toaster and egg yolks started to explode.\n \n“DAMN IT!” yelled Helen. \n \n“The important thing is [i:2i7g71f5]you[/i:2i7g71f5] survived,” said Daria.\n \nHer mother looked genuinely upset, and she started to feel embarrassed both about the remark and for the woman: that wasn’t normal, the guilty mood must have been worse than usual. Daria quickly said, “Um, but as you keep telling me, there’s nothing wrong with trying”.\n \n“I’m sure it’ll be great, honey!” said Jake, looking out from his paper. “So what if it’s a bit singed, that never hurt anyone, right?”\n \n“Joan of Arc?” said Daria, taking a seat. \n \nQuinn came down, now fully made up, and breakfast began, all burnt and crispy. Daria made her way through it slowly, and was surprised to see her sister and father wolfing it down; her dad, sure, trying to keep Helen happy, but Quinn? When the food was visually unappealing, no less? Was she trying to suck up in order to get something?\n \nShe was so busy thinking about that, she noticed, too late, that her mother was watching her, and looking distraught that she wasn’t eating. Daria froze – she rarely saw her mother like this, never felt comfortable or sure how to resolve it – and realised, too late, that was entirely the wrong move. Helen looked sadder and sadder, and finally couldn’t look at Daria.\n \n[i:2i7g71f5]She thinks I’m doing this deliberately. Why would-[/i:2i7g71f5]\n \n“Sorry. I’m just not used to-“ Daria thought fast for a diplomatic way of putting it. “-cooked breakfast.”\n \nHelen bit her lip.\n \n“[i:2i7g71f5]Gawd[/i:2i7g71f5], Daria!” snapped Quinn. “That joke’s nasty even by your standards.”\n \n“Excuse me?”\n\n“Can we leave it?” whispered Helen. “Let’s just enjoy the family meal?”\n \nQuinn smiled. “Sure, Mum. Anything fun at work today? Not that I’m saying you find it fun to sue people – well, unless you do, in which case suing anyone really big-“\n \nShe babbled on and took Helen with her, and soon Jake was joining in with his own talk of work. Daria set in silence, confused; had something happened to Mum, something she hadn’t told anyone about? Except Quinn seemed to knew and assumed Daria [i:2i7g71f5]should[/i:2i7g71f5] know,  and she would have remember something like this. Helen couldn’t have been sending signals she’d missed, Quinn was [i:2i7g71f5]less[/i:2i7g71f5] astute at picking up things like that (except when deliberately looking and why would she?).\n \nDaria stayed quiet. It seemed safest. Let things blow over.\n \n---\n \nShe’d started to walk when her father called out: “Where are you going, Daria?”\n\n“The Gulag Archipelago.”\n \n“That won’t make you miss your ride to school, will it?”\n\n“I’m not getting a ride.”\n \nJake looked crestfallen. “Oh.

But it is. Discrimination is still all around us in so many ways, openly re-directed towards immigrants who are doing nothing more than following the path that brought my recent ancestors here and probably yours, too or focused on gays predicated on a mumbo-jumbo of biblical misinterpretations or leeching out still against black people in things like the Tea Party movement.\n\nI think the progress we have made in the last 60 years in this country has been measurable and good. But I think discrimination has been tamed, not eradicated. For, our society still emphasIzes our differences as much as our similarities.\n\nWe may be 63 years from Jackie Robinson but we are not yet 63 days from a man going on national radio and telling us the president of the United States was elected only because of the color of his skin.\n\nDiscrimination, I\'ve always thought, is a perversion of one of the most necessary instincts of survival. As a child, put your hand on a red hot stove and you\'ll quickly learn to discriminate against red hot stoves.\n\nBut if at that age you are also told you need to beware of black people and you will spend your life having to fight against wiring created in your brain for no reason than to reflect someone else\'s prejudice. And it need not even be that related to trauma. The other night in the hospital my father was telling me about seeing Satchel Paige pitch.\n\nAt Yankee Stadium this was. The time was about 1941 and the team was the New York Black Yankees. And my father shook his head in amazement. &quot;It never occurred to me, it never occurred to anybody I knew, that he couldn\'t play for the other Yankees,&quot; he said. &quot;We just assumed he didn\'t want to. That none of them wanted to.&quot;\n\nThese thoughts still linger in our lives, still actively passed to some of us by people who are not like my father, who never questioned their own upbringing or parents or school or world. That older, brutal, prejudiced-with-impugnity world which reappears every day like Brigadoon with virulence as in Don Imus\'s infamous remarks; sometimes with the utter arrogant tone-deafness of John Mayer\'s Playboy interview; sometimes with a kind of poorly informed benign phrase like Harry Reid\'s comment about &quot;dialect;&quot; sometimes with the lunkheadedness of surprise that nobody is screaming &quot;Emm-effer, I want more iced tea&quot; at a Harlem restaurant.\n\nBut it\'s still there. I\'m not black, so I can\'t say for sure, but my guess is the reverse feeling still exists, too — the same doubt and nagging distrust, only with the arrow pointing the opposite way.\n\nAnd I guess it\'s still there too among Hispanics and Asians and every other self-identifying group, because this country, since the Civil War, has not only become ever-increasingly great not merely for dismantling the formalized racism of our first 200 years on this continent, but because we have been dismantling a million years of not fully trusting the guys in the next cave because they are, somehow, different.\n\nThis all still lingers about us, all of us, whether we see it or not. And since it\'s no longer fashionable or acceptable, it oozes out around the edges and usually those who speak it don\'t even realize that as good as their intent might be, as improved as their attitudes might be from where they used to be, or where their parents used to be, or where America used to be — it\'s still racism.\n\nThus it has become fashionable —sometimes psychologically necessary — that when some of us express it we have to put it in code, or dress it up, or provide a rationalization to ourselves for it that this has nothing to do with race or prejudice, the man\'s a Socialist and he\'s bent on destroying the country and he was only elected by people who can\'t speak English.\n\nOr was it: he was only elected by guilty whites. The rationalizations of the racists are too many and too contradictory for the rest of us to keep them straight.\n\nThe whole of the &quot;anger at government&quot; movement is predicated on this. Times are tough, the future is confusing, the threat from those who would dismantle our way of life is real (as if we weren\'t to some extent doing it for them). And the president is black. But you can\'t come out and say that\'s why you are scared.\n\nSay that, and in all but the lifeless fringes of our society, you are an outcast. And so this is where the euphemisms come in. Your taxes haven\'t gone up, the budget deficit is from the last administration\'s adventurer\'s war, Grandma is much more likely to be death-paneled by your insurance company, and a Socialist president would be one who tried to buy as many voters as possible with tax cuts.\n\nBut facts don\'t matter when you\'re looking for an excuse to say you hate this president (but not because he\'s black). Anything you can say out loud without your family and friends bursting into laughter at you, will do. And this is where the Tea Parties come in.\n\nI know I\'ve taken a lot of heat for emphasizing a particular phrase which originated at a Free Republic.com rally a year ago by a Tea Partier! And I know phrases like &quot;Tea Klux Klan&quot; are incendiary and I know I use them in part because I\'m angry that at so late a date we still have to bat back that racial uneasiness which envelops us all.\n\nAnd I know, if I could listen only to Lincoln on this of all days about the better angels of our nature, I\'d know that what we\'re seeing at the Tea Parties is, at its base people who are afraid. Terribly, painfully, cripplingly, blindingly, afraid.\n\nBut let me ask all of you who attend these things: How many black faces do you see at these events? How many Hispanics? Asians? Gays? Where are these people? Surely there must be blacks who think they\'re being bled by taxation. Surely there must be Hispanics who think the government should\'ve let the auto industry fail. Surely there must be people of all colors and creeds who believe in cultural literacy tests and speaking English.\n\nWhere are they? Where are they? Do you suppose they agree with you but they have just chosen to attend their own separate meetings? That they are not at your Tea Party because they have a Tea Party of their own to go to? Are you thinking like my father did about Satchel Paige and the black Yankees? That they want this? My father had an excuse for that. He was 12-years-old. It was 1941. Are you of the Tea Party 12-years-old? For you, is it 1941?\n\nYou\'re scared and you\'re in a world that has changed in a million ways and the most obvious one of them is something unforseeable just a decade ago — a black president. And yet you are also in a world, inherited, installed, by generations that knew only fear and brutality and prejudice and difference and suspicion. The generations have gone but the suspicion lingers on.\n\nNot all of our heritage is honorable. Not all the decisions of the founding fathers were noble. Not very many of the founding fathers were evolved enough to believe that black people were actually people. The Founding Fathers thought they were and fought hard to make sure they would always remain slaves.\n\nFear is a terrible thing. So is prejudice. And racism. And progress towards the removal of any evil produces the inevitable backlash. The Civil War was not followed by desegregation but by Jim Crow, and the Klan.\n\nThe Civil Rights legislation of the \'60s was not followed by peace but by George Wallace and anti-busing overt racism. Why should the election of a black president be without a backlash?\n\nBut recognize what this backlash is, and you can free yourself of this movement built of inherited fears, and of echoes of 1963 or 1873. Look at who is leading you and why and look past the blustery self-justifications and see the fear — the unspoken, inchoate fear of those who are different.\n\nIf you believe there is merit to your political argument, fine. But ask yourself when you next go to a Tea Party rally, or watch one on television, or listen to a politician or a commentator praise these things or merely treat them as if it was just a coincidence that they are virtually segregated.\n\nAsk yourself: Where are the black faces? Who am I marching with?  What are we afraid of? And if it really is only a president\'s policy and not his skin. Ask yourself one final question: Why are you surrounded by the largest crowd you\'ll ever again see in your life that consists of nothing but people who look exactly like you?[/i:28ka5mg3][/quote:28ka5mg3]','6bd218e653ec5e4b4b3e1f94dc72d304',0,'8A==','28ka5mg3',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462725,31990,6,1108,0,'86.150.35.58',1298343384,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Questions Asked, Questions Answered, &amp; Pizza with Jane C','That\'d be Heroes.','153ad1360938d18c853898e8a5e525c9',0,'','25y3hb1s',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462726,31990,6,1204,0,'75.20.166.171',1298343576,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Questions Asked, Questions Answered, &amp; Pizza with Jane C','[quote=&quot;Charles RB&quot;:3vrph5p3]That\'d be Heroes.[/quote:3vrph5p3]\n\nYeah.

You know, this might be easier if I try something else.” Jake\'s expression became grave. “It\'s going to be kind of rough on you, kiddo. But it\'ll save us a lot of time.”\n\nDaria swallowed. “I trust you, Dad.”\n\n“Close your eyes.”\n\nDaria did so and Jake leaned forward and gently placed his fingertips on Daria\'s temples. “Don\'t be afraid, I\'m right here.”\n\nDaria took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “Okay, I\'m ready.”\n\n–-\n\n[i:hihgeb6g]She watches as flames leap into her vision. A raging wildfire that consumes everything in its path. Thousands of people scream in horror and pain as the flames consume them. Soon the screams take on a disturbing harmony and she stiffens as she realizes she\'s hearing the screams of hundreds upon thousands of herself. Thousands of Daria Morgendorffers all crying out for mercy, for an explanation, for relief from the agony being inflicted on them. \n\nThe screams get louder and louder and suddenly change. To laughter. Cold, psychotic laughter. She looks up above the flames and sees something that chills her soul, despite the heat surrounding her.\n\nA gargantuan version of herself, glasses-less, clad in crimson and black, her hair flowing in the wind, the cloak flapping behind her. She waves her hands like a conductor, guiding the flames, which pass over hundreds of miniature Earths, consuming each one, turning them to cinders.\n\nThen suddenly, from the corner of her eye, she sees it. A blue-white flash of light. Judith sees it as well, and turns, her expression turning ugly. The blue-white light grows in intensity and suddenly turns into a bolt of lightning that strikes Judith, causing her to scream in pain. \n\nShe turns towards the source of the light, and stares again as she sees another version of herself, this one clad in the green jacket and black pleated skirt she wore in high school. Behind the large round frames of her glasses, her eyes glow with the same intense blue-white light. Judith snarls, raises her hand and fires a bolt of black lightning outlined in red. The other Daria responds with a bolt of her own. The two bolts collide and explode in a shower of sparks, sending both combatants flying. \n\nJudith is the first one back to her feet. She charges across the field of flames and hauls the other Daria up by her jacket with one hand. Judith sheaths her free hand in flames and pulls it back, ready to strike. As her fist approaches her face, Daria\'s hand opens and grabs Judith\'s fist, stopping it hard. Daria\'s hand begins to glow with the same blue-white energy. Judith\'s flames turn red and black, glowing with the same intensity. Neither budges, neither moves, each straining for the upper hand. \n\nSuddenly, the collected energy discharges, exploding with incredible force. She finds herself flying through the air, propelled by the force. Judith and the other Daria vansih in the blast, both screaming in pain.\n\nAs they recede into the distance, the darkness rushes in, and soon she finds herself alone in the void...\n\n[/i:hihgeb6g]–-\n\nDaria opened her eyes and looked at her father\'s concerned face.\n\n“Judith...” she whispered. Jake nodded gravely.\n\n“This has been a long time coming, kiddo,” he said. “Things are moving and they\'re going to accelerate soon. There\'s people trying to slow her down and even stop her, but they know deep down they won\'t be able to.”\n\n“What about the other Daria? The one in the green jacket?”\n\n“She\'s the key to all this. But she isn\'t ready for Judith yet. Unfortunately, it looks like Judith is going to find her first.”\n\n“What do I have to do?” Daria asked, her face serious.\n\nJake blinked. “No questions? No protests?”\n\nDaria smiled. “After last year? I\'ll do anything you need me to do, Dad. \'Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.\'”\n\nJake gave her another smile and a hug. “All right. At some point in the very near future, that Daria is going to show up here. You need to be there for her. She will be hurt, both physically and emotionally. She\'ll be lost and confused and scared. She\'ll need comfort, reassurance. She has something very difficult ahead of her.”\n\n“Judith,” Daria said.\n\n“Judith, unfortunately, is only the beginning for her,” Jake answered. “And speaking of which, at some point, Judith will be here too.”\n\nDaria sucked in a breath. “What do I do about her?”\n\n“Have faith. She won\'t be here for long, and she won\'t be allowed to do anything to this world.”\n\nDaria nodded, reluctantly. “All right...anything else?”\n\n“Just one thing.” Jake stood up, helped Daria to her feet and hugged her again. When they separated, Daria found herself holding a small brightly wrapped package.\n\n“Merry Christmas,” Jake grinned. “Go ahead and open it.”\n\nDaria smiled and opened the package. Inside was a silver necklace with a small blue marble mounted in an ornate silver wire setting. Daria held it up. In the low light of the evening, the marble gave off an odd blue glow. Just looking at it gave Daria a feeling of peace and serenity.\n\n“What is it?” she asked.\n\n“You\'ll find out when the time comes,” Jake said. “Be strong, kiddo. You can do this.”\n\n“I know. I love you, Dad.”\n\n“I love you too, Daria.”\n\nThey exchanged another hug. After a moment, Daria opened her eyes. Her father was gone, but the necklace remained. She smiled and put the necklace on. The marble glowed brighter for a moment as it touched her chest. \n\n“Daria! Amelia and Robert are here! Brad and Brett should be here soon,” came Quinn\'s voice from behind the door leading into the house. \n\n“Yeah, sis,come on! We wanna open presents!” Veronica\'s voice was twice as loud.\n\n“And if that isn\'t enough for you, we got Iceberg!” Amelia piped up. “Cheeeeeeeeseburger, Daria!”\n\n Daria grinned openly.

It\'s quite clear to me that she has no time for distractions on her quest to win the LFC Women\'s World Championship, and she\'s going to let her actions inside the squared circle do the talking tonight.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;In the meantime, let\'s take you back a few weeks to an episode of Friday Night Fights. It was The Bro and QB Connection, Kevin Thompson and Michael Mackenzie, defending the LFC Men\'s Tag Team Championship against Jeffy Grey and Jamie White of The Three Js.&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](Cut to footage of Kevin and Mack fighting Jeffy and Jamie. Mack hits Jeffy with his spinning spinebuster finisher and makes the cover, but the referee (Nick) is distracted by Jamie. Joey comes into the ring and hits Mack with one of the championship belts. Joey lays Jeffy on top of Mack, just as Jamie drops down off the apron. Nick counts the pin, and despite a last-gasp lunge by Kevin, he makes it to 3. The Three Js win the Men\'s Tag Team Championship)[/i:r85302e3]\n\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;As you can see, thanks to unbelievably blatant cheating by The Three Js, they stole the LFC Men\'s Tag Team Championship from The Bro and QB Connection. I almost felt sorry for them.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Thompson and Mackenzie were denied a straight rematch, and only earned it by defeating Anarchy In The MD two weeks ago. However, their rematch will be a 3-on-2 Handicap Match.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;And that\'s because, somehow, all Three Js are recognised as champs. Despite the fact that Joey wasn\'t involved in the original match at all.

THE BRO AND QB CONNECTION!!!&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](Kevin and Mack make their way onto the entrance stage and start psyching each other up as fire pyro goes off behind them. They are wearing similar short trunks, with both of them having a blue and yellow stripe, as well as bearing their initials. The only difference between them is that Kevin\'s trunks are white, while Mack\'s trunks are black. Kevin is also wearing a knee brace and extra padding on his right knee. Both are wearing Baltimore Ravens football jerseys as entrance attire, which causes the crowd to cheer a little bit more)[/i:r85302e3]\n\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Look at those two.

Michael Mackenzie, do you have anything to say before your title match?&quot;\n\n[b:r85302e3]Mack:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Yeah.

He got the most eliminations out of anyone in the Lawndale Rumble with six, and was only eliminated by foul play, ironically by his opponents tonight The Three J\'s.&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](Kevin and Mack get into the ring, jump up on the turnbuckle and pose for the fans, to a huge cheer. They take off their jerseys and throw them into the crowd, before they jump down. Their theme fades out and [url=http&#58;//www&#46;youtube&#46;com/watch?v=YZusIOLDRs8:r85302e3]&quot;Hangin\' Tough&quot; by New Kids On The Block[/url:r85302e3] starts to play.

THE THREE J\'S!!!&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](The Three Js stride onto the entrance stage, holding up two large silver-coloured belts and trash-talking to the crowd. All three are wearing half-and-half tights, with one leg being gold and the other leg being their signature shirt design)[/i:r85302e3]\n\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;The Three Js have weaselled their way out of title match after title match, but tonight, they have to... well... hang tough, because there is no escape.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Good. They\'ve had the belts long enough, in my opinion.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;So you\'re choosing Thompson and Mackenzie to win?&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Hell no! The referee can win the belts for all I care!&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](The Three Js get into the ring and arrogantly hold up their belts to the crowd again as their theme fades out)[/i:r85302e3]\n\n[b:r85302e3]DeMartino:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;And when the action BEGINS, the referee in CHARGE for this contest is Max Tyler.&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](The Three Js reluctantly hand Max their championship belts. He raises them up to the crowd before he hands them to DeMartino, who gets out of the ring with them)[/i:r85302e3]\n\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Despite their one man advantage, there will still only be one person from each team allowed in the ring at one time.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;And it looks like Mack and Joey will start us off here. Good idea on Mack\'s part, since the match would be over now if Kevin started.&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](The bell rings, signifying the start of the match. Mack and Joey lock up, but Mack pushes Joey away, sending him rolling to his corner)[/i:r85302e3]\n\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Black just found out that it\'s near impossible to get into a clinch game with Mackenzie.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Yeah. I may not particularly care for him, but I do respect his in-ring ability. Mack does have talent.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Black goes in again, and this time Mackenzie just slams him hard to the canvas!&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](Mack goes down the ground and starts laying into Joey with hard punches, before attempting a pin)[/i:r85302e3]\n\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Mackenzie goes for the early cover... and only a 1 count according to referee Max Tyler.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Mack just needs to keep going with this hard-hitting offense, and the titles will be as good as his... and Kevin\'s.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Black whipped to the turnbuckle by the former Vance University running back.&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](Mack hits Joey in the corner with some shoulder tackles, before tagging in Kevin. As Joey steps out of the corner, dazed, Kevin climbs up to the top rope)[/i:r85302e3]\n\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;And... this is where the match goes to hell.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Thompson is in and going upstairs!&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Here comes one of the few things that Kevin is useful for!&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](Mack grabs Kevin and throws him at Joey, who get hit with a flying forearm)[/i:r85302e3]\n\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Excellent teamwork, showcasing why Mackenzie and Thompson have been one of the LFC\'s premier male tag teams for so long.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Mack should have abandoned Kevin when The Three Js split away from The Pride.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Thompson knew better than to abandon Mackenzie when the chips were down. And don\'t forget, the only reason Robert Korleski is no longer in the group is because of that stipulation match he had against Jamie White about six months back. He was loyal to The Pride as well.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Between you and me, I\'m over the history lesson. Call the match!&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Thompson has just drilled Black with a big boot and he\'s going for the cover... 1... 2... 2.&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](Kevin gets up, drags Joey over to his home corner and tags Mack back in. They hit Joey with simultaneous elbow drops)[/i:r85302e3]\n\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Mackenzie back in now and The Bro and QB Connection are making efficient use of the quick tag.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;That\'s a good thing to do. Have Kevin do some quick smash mouth offense, then tag out before he does just as much damage to himself.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Black needs to make a tag if The Three Js are to have any chance of retaining their championships.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;He\'s not going to be able to tag from up on Mack\'s shoulders.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Mackenzie is in complete control right now as he hits Black with a thunderous powerslam!&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](Mack goes for another cover, but it only gets 2. He picks up Joey)[/i:r85302e3]\n\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Black whipped into the ropes and... he holds on to them.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;There\'s a blind tag to Jeffy Grey! Here he comes...&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;And down he goes! Huge clothesline by Mackenzie! And now White wants some!&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Bang! Down goes Jamie!&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;He rolls out of the ring and now all Three Js are on the outside right now!&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](The Three Js huddle together, presumably to plan their next move. What they don\'t see is Mack tagging Kevin back in, then getting on all fours as Kevin runs off the ropes)[/i:r85302e3]\n\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Oh boy. This looks like a bright idea.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Thompson off the ropes...jumping off Mackenzie\'s back over the ropes and there\'s a plancha to The Three Js! Amazing manoeuvre by Thompson!&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;I think that might have come at the expense of his last dozen brain cells, though.&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](Kevin gets up and celebrates his attack, slapping hands with a couple of people in the crowd. He looks down at The Three Js, trying to figure out which one to throw back in the ring)[/i:r85302e3]\n\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Are you kidding me? Does he seriously not know who the legal man is right now?&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Jeffy Grey is the legal man for The Three Js. Let\'s just hope Thompson figures that out before he gets counted out.&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](Kevin picks up Jamie, throws him into the ring and makes the cover, but Max refuses to count because he\'s not the legal man)[/i:r85302e3]\n\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;What a dope. He\'s thrown Jamie in there instead of Jeffy.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;And here comes Grey from behind with an axehandle! Thompson could end up paying a heavy price for his lack of awareness here.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Honestly, he deserves to lose for making a mistake like that. Now Jeffy will use his speed and agility advantage to make Kevin suffer.&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](Jeffy then starts stomping repeatedly on Kevin\'s right knee, causing him to yell in agony)[/i:r85302e3]\n\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Grey is now targeting that surgically-repaired right knee of Thompson with some lightning-fast stomps.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;There\'s a reason he wears that brace and all that extra padding on it. That knee hasn\'t been 100% for years, not since a motorcycle accident he had as a high school junior many years ago. Probably wasn\'t wearing a helmet either...&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Not to mention the fact that he later re-injured it in college, forcing his early retirement from football.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;If you\'re not going to call the match, O\'Neill, then I will! Jeffy is just hammering away on Kevin\'s knee with punches and kicks, and he looks like he\'s going for a tag.&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](Jeffy gets up and tags Joey back in. He picks up Kevin and slams him on the ropes, causing more damage to his knee)[/i:r85302e3]\n\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Black using all of the ring here in trying to dismantle Thompson.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Hmm... that actually is quite clever. Didn\'t think he had it in him to do something like that.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;He\'s going for a second scoop slam on the ropes!&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Wait, Thompson slips out the back! This could be the window of opportunity he needs to tag out!&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](Kevin throws a couple of punches, sending Joey reeling back to the ropes. As he bounces back, Kevin picks up Joey and tries to lift him above his head)[/i:r85302e3]\n\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;He\'s doing that on one leg, O\'Neill! He\'s a damn freak of nature!&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Thompson is digging down deep within himself here in going for the big military press slam on Black!&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](Suddenly, Kevin drops down his knees, allowing Joey to land on his feet relatively unharmed)[/i:r85302e3]\n\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Look, his knee couldn\'t handle it and it gave out.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;I have to give credit to The Three Js for their strategy here, Janet. Isolating Thompson and targeting his knee is probably the best thing they could have done. And poor Mackenzie has no choice but to stand there and watch it all happen, lest Thompson can somehow recover and make the tag.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;And it\'s all been relatively clean too.&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](Joey tags Jeffy back in, who hits an elbow drop to the head before going for a submission)[/i:r85302e3]\n\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Grey is now the legal man again, and there\'s a sleeper hold on Thompson.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;What little oxygen that goes to his brain is now being cut off with that submission.

It\'s already fallen once!&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Referee Max Tyler checks Thompson again. Still no signs of life.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Once more and it\'s all over. And... look! It\'s staying up!&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Thompson will not give up! He\'s trying to fight out of Grey\'s sleeper!&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;I\'ll admit that I\'m actually a little impressed by his fighting spirit. He\'s still an idiot though.&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](Kevin breaks free of the submission, and starts hitting Jeffy with rights and lefts)[/i:r85302e3]\n\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Thompson throwing the big punches as only he can here.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Yeah. Everyone else\'s punches actually hit once in a while.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Are you watching the same match that I am?&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;This match is still going? I was hoping to catch a nap before Upchuck\'s public execution... er... I mean title match.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] (sighs) &quot;Anyway, Thompson with a big boot to Grey, but the damage to his knee means he can\'t immediately go for the tag.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;He\'s going to do it, though!&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](Kevin makes the tag to Mack, but Joey and Jamie distract Max by trying to get in the ring. He doesn\'t see the tag get made)[/i:r85302e3]\n\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;And Thompson makes the tag... wait, referee Max Tyler isn\'t letting him in!&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;He didn\'t see the tag get made! He was clearly being distracted by Joey and Jamie.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Come on now! He had to have heard it.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;As much as it pains me to say this, you can\'t call what you can\'t see. It\'s not the referee\'s fault this time.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Well then, so much for that clean match they were wrestling.&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](Jeffy attacks Kevin from behind, hitting him with a German suplex.

Jamie is the submission specialist of the trio, and it could be at his hands that The Three Js retain the LFC Men\'s Tag Team Championship.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Look at the pain, etched on the face of Kevin Thompson. He may not last much longer, Janet.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Kevin, whether he knows it or not, can take an unbelievable amount of punishment. He\'s like a crash test dummy.

The match continues for now.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;But Jamie is going to make sure that he gets every last bit of use out of that kneebar.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;He finally lets go at the count of 4, but the damage may already be too much.&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](Jamie drags Kevin back to the middle of the ring and goes for a pin)[/i:r85302e3]\n\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;This could be it, skinny!&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;White with the cover... 1... 2...

That\'s one of the damndest things I\'ve ever seen!&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;This crowd has come alive after that! Listen to them!&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](The crowd begins to chant &quot;QB&quot; as Kevin slowly struggles to his corner.

And here comes Mackenzie!&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;And Jamie didn\'t make a tag himself! Now the idiot has to face the wrath of Mack.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Mackenzie is just unloading with the clubbing blows to White, one after the other!&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](Mack whips Jamie to his home corner, climbs on the second rope and starts punching him.

I think the titles will be changing hands very soon.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Mackenzie goes for the cover... 1... 2... and... Grey and Black break up the pin.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Look at them, so happy with themselves... and here comes that brickhead Kevin!&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](Kevin rushes into the ring and hits a running crossbody on Joey and Jeffy, sending all three out of the ring to the floor)[/i:r85302e3]\n\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Thompson, Grey and Black are all down at ringside, leaving Mackenzie and White as the legal men!&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Good. Usually when it gets like this, that means the match is nearly over.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;White off the ropes and... Mack Attack! Mackenzie hits that spinning spinebuster and you could be right soon, Janet, because the match could be over now!&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;It\'s takes a miracle to kick out of the Mack Attack, Tim!&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;There\'s the cover... 1... 2... what? Tyler\'s stopped the count!&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Jamie\'s foot is on the bottom rope! That\'s a rope break!&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;That was either great awareness on the part of White, or just sheer dumb luck.

Hard boot to the mid-section by Mack!&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Grey is reeling here, and Mackenzie looks like he is going to suplex him back in.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Up he goes... all the blood is just rushing to the head of Jamie as Mack just holds him up there with that freakish strength of his!&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]O\'Neill:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;As soon as he falls, it will surely be it for The Three Js... wait... what are Grey and White doing?&quot;\n\n[i:r85302e3](Joey and Jeffy grabs Mack\'s ankles, tripping him up and allowing Jamie to fall on top of him.

You said it yourself earlier, the referee can\'t call what he can\'t see, and as much of a miscarriage of justice that it is, he did the only thing he could at that was his job.&quot;\n[b:r85302e3]Barch:[/b:r85302e3] &quot;Whatever.

They\'ll look down their noses at her - some of them, because as you said, the families pass the feelings of hatred or superiority down - but they\'re still going to show up at the party (well, the ones who aren\'t fully consumed by the P\'s attitudes), because they don\'t want to look like brown-nosing losers and momma\'s boys who are too afraid of \'what Mommy and Daddy will say!\' to NOT go.[/quote:9n5dlv2k]\nEr, no.  I\'m telling you, seriously, kids buy into the hatred and superiority thing.  They were never afraid of what mommy and daddy would say because they were in complete agreement with what mommy and daddy said.  Though my parents were around, they wouldn\'t have minded my brother or I having parties (and once we moved to a much more decent area, they didn\'t mind when we did, which we finally did), and we had several acres worth of land on which to partay with little to no parental supervision whatsoever.  But we didn\'t have parties because we were thoroughly unpopular.  I more so than my brother, but the fact is that we both had only a few friends each at most.\n\nAs unreasonable as it may seem, this sort of thing does happen.  And the division between my family and most of the other families was that of the poor farmers from the rich farmers.  Since the division between the Lanes and most everyone else in Lawndale is that of the poor middle class from the rich middle class, it\'s very likely that her being shunned in general regardless of how nice a party house she might have is extremely possible.\n\nNot to say that folks in Lawndale would probably regard Casa Lane as that great a party house anyway, considering the state it\'s in.  When given the choice between a huge party at Brittany\'s very nice house in Crewe Neck with tons of snacks vs. a huge party at dumpy old Casa Lane with its unidentifiable stains in the empty fridge . . . well, the smart money is on the Crewe Neck of the woods.  Jane just wouldn\'t be able to compete with the privileged elite.\n\nAnd as Erin just pointed out as I was typing all this, it\'s also entirely dependent on how willing Jane is to have huge parties at her house.  The only folks she\'d probably [i:9n5dlv2k]want[/i:9n5dlv2k] to invite over are those that Trent has already invited to a party and certainly not most of the folks she goes to school with.','f94f6f44c8b296e73addbc69b3188ff8',0,'oA==','9n5dlv2k',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462799,32014,5,785,0,'200.68.67.193',1298392612,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Firefly + Dr. Michiu Kaku = awesome','<!-- m --><a class=\"postlink\" href=\"http://edition.cnn.com/2011/SHOWBIZ/TV/02/18/firefly.returns.ew/index.html?hpt=Sbin\">http://edition.cnn.com/2011/SHOWBIZ/TV/ ... l?hpt=Sbin</a><!-- m -->\n\nCan\'t wait for this, I mean, I love Firefly, but Kaku\'s segments are bound to be really interesting.','1a7ce9936ec2847e80846be7ca163b11',0,'','yy5uui5q',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462800,32013,16,1216,0,'89.250.3.170',1298392693,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Transcript for &quot;Monster&quot; (s02e06) intro','Thank You very much, Erin M!

Stacy seems to be a nice girl.”\n\nHappy that the screaming match was over Quinn grinned and started to babble about her friends.\n\n–\n\nThere had been happy times in the live of Tiff\'aany, called Tiff by most. She remembered when she had been playing with her brood sisters and brothers, when she had time to be a child and when she had gotten her first birthday present. Sometimes she even remembered the face of her mother and sometimes she dreamed of a gentle voice singing softly to her and strong arms rocking her to sleep. Back when she had been named Blum, before her gift had been noticed.\n\nBut those times were long ago and sometimes she asked herself if those memories were only a dream, a sweet dream created by her sub-consciousness to protect her from the harsh, brutal truth.\n\n“Mistress asks what you see...”\n\nThe voice came from somewhere but she could not place it, even if she had tried. Everything was fuzzy and strange, there were colors everywhere and all her senses were going crazy. And she was feeling light and free, her soul not linked to her body anymore.\n\nShe was feeling great, just wonderful, better than having an orgasm. She panted and moaned, writhening her naked body on the ground in pleasure. And she saw things, images from far away planets and systems, people she had never seen before, species still undetected and unknown to the galactic society.\n\n“Hmaaaa... iiiii seeee...”, she drawled with a voice dripping with pleasure and ecstasy. “... raaaagggeeee... fiiiiireee aaaandd... preeeettttyyyy biiiiirrrddsss...”\n\nStanding a few feet away from the drugged Medean was a single woman, looking at her with a pained expression.

She waited another few seconds before she took a blanket from the corner a few yards away and pulled it over Tiff\'aany. “Sleep tight little girl”, she mumbled before she left the spartan cell.\n\nShe heard how the door was closed behind her and how the heavy lock was clicked shut.

Old fanworks are largely forgotten. It wasn\'t so much about &quot;awards&quot; as it was about showcasing them. I think newer writers would agree that it would be disappointing to have something you invested so much of their time lost forever. Some of the fanworks that were sent to my inbox were absolutely epic works that were written so early on I can bet only the oldies would remember them. \n\nBut if it\'s cool with people, we could start this as the Classic Fanfiction Recommendations thread for a while. I\'ll post the 20 or so links I got and newer members can get more of an idea. Older members can either self promote or just post links to stories they like. As long as they were written before the first Fandom Awards. Was that 2004? I think so. \n\nAnd we can try again at a later time. I don\'t know if this is a good idea, I leave it to your communal discretion.  <!-- s:P --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif\" alt=\":P\" title=\"Razz\" /><!-- s:P -->','ba84c2b8c715ff23e1e0f6b393fe6ee1',0,'gA==','13ggcl2w',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462832,31985,5,849,0,'67.142.162.23',1298401106,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: What would the daria cast drink?','[quote=&quot;Erin M.&quot;:1pz40c3m]And to bring the suject back towards my side of the arguement, given all the above, Jane is probably quite well aware that they do look down their noses at her, know that they\'d only be interested because of her family\'s reputation, and decide &quot;Fuck y\'all, you don\'t DESERVE to hang out with me.&quot; Hence, no parties.\n\nThere\'s also the question of whether or not the elder Lane siblings took advantage of parental absence back in the day.

As long as intelligence developed, and an idea of the &quot;I&quot; raised amongst the primitive humans, putting aside the following of blind instinct, the question of &quot;why the world is how it is?&quot;, and realizing that life consisted in a perpetual, daily fight for the life until you have the evolutionary advantages or the luck to achieve (relative) old age, until you die pointlessly like thousands before you in your own lifetime, you [i:3exc30bg]have[/i:3exc30bg] to find a way of keeping going on, because such a realization in a brain that can process more complex thoughts that &quot;go run eat escape drink sleep&quot; can be fatal. That way, the early hominid takes all the things that scare and provoke stress, like the ray, the leopard or death, and looks for an answer that let him sleep at night. &quot;That\'s okay, when you die you don\'t ACTUALLY die, you just reincarnated in your sons&quot;. &quot;That\'s okay, the god leopard can be placated if you give him a sacrifice&quot;. &quot;That\'s okay, a ray is just a fight of two gods up in the heavens&quot; And so on, and so on...

When Jake asked about Daria, Jane told them about needing to make Jeff\'s funeral arrangements.  Jake nodded somberly before thanking her and Trent.  Jake led Helen to the elevators.

Right now, there\'s a very big \'pro-Tom\' sentiment, driven by several very big pro-Tom fans; that\'s no different than the \'Daria Triumphant\' folks drove the tides, or the \'canon obsessives\', or when the \'script vs. prose\' debate was going on, or the \'Dariarotica - pro-vs-con\' discussions. If you don\'t like the Ringbearers stuff, or you feel that the best fanfic focuses primarily on the main Daria characters - never fear. Sooner or later, what you like or dislike will pass on and/or reappear.\n\n* [i:24w4qh7t]The new people sometimes don\'t realize how far the fandom has expanded in tolerance and acceptance for new directions in writing and artwork.[/i:24w4qh7t] If you\'ve read my [i:24w4qh7t]The Sun Will Come Out, Tomorrow[/i:24w4qh7t] or Richard Lobinske\'s [i:24w4qh7t]Falling Into College[/i:24w4qh7t] series, you probably say, Okay,well...\' and have your own personal opinions. You guys have no idea how polarizing those were when they came out. My work came out during the time of [i:24w4qh7t]Daria Triumphant[/i:24w4qh7t] - and to this day, I still have reason to feel that there was a serious backlash against anything I wrote or even spoke on. (I still don\'t care for Thomas Mikkelson - God please rest his soul -  because of the way that bastard was bashing me...) Writing [i:24w4qh7t]It\'s All About Respect[/i:24w4qh7t] (and basically being the first writer to really work with the concept of \'Bitch Daria\') didn\'t help matters much, and [i:24w4qh7t]The Winters Of Those Gone Before...[/i:24w4qh7t] Let\'s just say that my earlier stuff was written before people were comfortable with those ideas.\n\nAs for [i:24w4qh7t]FiC[/i:24w4qh7t] - it was the first work to really do a serious long-term effort to define a post-Lawndale Daria (in fact, it fit what CINCGREEN said in how he\'d pick people like -sam to do a post-canon Daria series, because you\'d need a boatload of new characters that the readers could identify with and care about), but it was also the first Daria fanfic series to take on a positive, \'happy\' tone (in that Daria would still be the person she was, but actually evolve in a believable fashion to a person who could enjoy the world around her). In the world of the [i:24w4qh7t]Angst Lords[/i:24w4qh7t] ascendant - it was radically different.\n\n\nMore observations later. I have to go get my nephews.[/quote:24w4qh7t]\n\nYour second bullet point is a big one.  It\'s a regular thing every year.  While TAG being gone for now is bad for the fandom in some ways (being a highly proclivative writer of fairly original ideas and a wide source of entertainment in general) it\'s also an upside that other writers now get to step up and throw down their stories that are also fairly original... just in other ways.  The fact that most of the Angst Lords have fallen from writing (as much) Daria fic and/or just left also creates a window for the pendulum to swing again (though I\'d like to see it swing in a different axis now). \nThe fourth point is as well. One of the great strengths of this community today is a willingness to accept a very wide range of takes on the characters and how they interact and why they do so.  many fandoms become so bound up in the one right characterization or one right plot type or the OTP arguments that they can\'t accept it when someone breaks those molds with a good story, while here so long as the story is good, we\'ll accept significant bending and often even breaking of the characters, plots, etc.  I\'ve long held, though rarely stated publicly, that if Ronin\'s writing (not even getting into any other aspects of that [gender indistinct pronoun]), bad as it is, is among the worst Daria fandom has to offer by way of fiction we\'re way beyond most fandoms I\'ve participated in or seen where that\'s the average level of quality and what we consider fairly mundane is their exceptional.  The cycle of what comes in and goes out is part of that.','b3a1718c309ff2f39e4178ec4006b8b3',0,'oA==','24w4qh7t',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462907,32022,3,94,0,'68.205.122.168',1298435257,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: RIP Nicholas Courtney; was Brigadier on Doctor Who','SALUTE!\n\n--Erin M.','a29ba393d7dc1248099dc2fb34a4dc88',0,'','1q89549t',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462908,32022,3,94,0,'68.205.122.168',1298435387,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: RIP Nicholas Courtney; was Brigadier on Doctor Who','[quote=&quot;Roentgen&quot;:1qiz1gm2][url=http&#58;//tardisnewsroom&#46;blogspot&#46;com/2011/02/brigadier-nicholas-courtney-has-died&#46;html:1qiz1gm2]Died at age 81[/url:1qiz1gm2].

The phone rings, an arm reaches out from a bundle of blankets and grabs the phone, pulling it under.)\n\nDARIA (muffled): ‘lo?\n\n(Split screen, we see Jane, smirking on the other end.)\n\nJANE: Well if it isn’t the belle of the ball. Care to explain yourself?\n\nDARIA (pulling her head out of the blankets): Explain what? (yawn) Maybe you should explain why I shouldn’t kill you for waking me up before noon.\n\nJANE: Oh no you don’t young lady, can’t change the subject that easy. What exactly happened with you and Jesse last night?\n\nDARIA (sighing): I’d rather not discuss this over the phone. Can’t be sure it’s secure.\n\nJANE: Fine, how soon can you get here.\n\nDARIA: Give me an hour. I smell like the Zon. (Bt) And ancient peanut butter. Are they ever gonna clean the Tank?\n\nJANE: Right about the time they start doing Boys R Guys covers.\n\n[SCENE 4]\n\n(Jane’s room, Daria is sitting on the bed while Jane stands at the easel painting Daria and Jesse in a passionate embrace. The easel is (obviously) turned to face the door, so Daria hasn’t seen it.)\n\nJANE: So Sandi has the hots for Jesse? Wonder what brought that on?\n\nDARIA: Not a clue, I’m just hoping it’s short lived.\n\nJANE (eyebrow raised): And how exactly did he get you to help him? Jesse doesn’t have that kind of money.\n\nDARIA: He started throwing out names for other options.\n\nJANE: So?\n\nDARIA: He actually thought about asking (grimace) Monique.\n\nJANE: Augh! That is the last thing the Spiral needs is that wench starting a war between Trent and Jesse.\n\nDARIA: She’d just be pretending to be Jesse’s girlfriend.\n\nJANE: But having her around would make Trent remember when she was his girl, and he’d go crawling back to her again. Then Jess would be mad because he’d have to find a new fake girlfriend. And everyone would think she’d left Jesse for Trent, so his pride would be hurt. Then Monique would end up pregnant with twins, one being Jesse’s and one being Trent’s. She’d try and pass them both off as Trent’s, but he’d know. And-\n\nDARIA (rolling her eyes): You have got to stop watching those soap operas.\n\nJANE (smirking): They give me inspiration.\n\n(Trent walks in and sees the painting.)\n\nTRENT: Whoa. So it is true.\n\nDARIA: What is true?\n\n(She sees that he is staring at the easel, so she stands to look at it.)\n\nDARIA: You are going to die a slow and painful death Lane. (sighing) No Trent. Despite your sister’s delusions, Jesse and I are not a couple. I’m just pretending to be his girlfriend to scare off an obsessed groupie.\n\nTRENT: The girl last night?\n\nDARIA: Yep, she’s a friend of my sister. Trust me, if she got her claws into Jess, he’d be cutting his hair and wearing a shirt in no time.\n\nTRENT (shuddering): Twisted. Thanks for saving him Daria, you’re a good friend.\n\nDARIA: We’ll see if your sister agrees after I put her in the ICU.\n\nTRENT (laugh/cough): Good one Daria. (raising an eyebrow) You really need to quit watching those soap operas Janey. I think they’re warping your mind.\n\nJESSE (walking up behind Trent): Warping my mind, I’m fallin behind. Sounds like a song.\n\nTRENT: Yeah (grabs Jane’s sketch book and a pencil, jotting it down on a blank page) Cool man.\n\nJANE (rolling her eyes): Well if it isn’t Romeo. Come to claim your fair damsel?\n\nJESSE: Huh? I just came to unload the Tank. (sees the painting) Whoa.\n\nDARIA (blushing): Jane’s been watching soap operas and sniffing paint again. Don’t worry. I plan on breaking her arms as soon as you guys are far enough away to not be accessories.\n\nJESSE: Good one. (Bt) Honey.\n\nDARIA (making a face): Are you saying I look like bee vomit?\n\nJESSE (frowning): No, but I thought if we’re gonna pretend to date, we should act like it. What do you want me to call you?\n\nDARIA: Do we have to have pet names?\n\nJANE: How about Schnooklekins?\n\n(They all look at her like she’s grown another head)\n\nJANE: Alright, alright. I’ll open a window.\n\nDARIA: What do you want me to call you?\n\nJESSE (Shrugging): I don’t know…\n\nDARIA (rolling her eyes): So you want to use pet names, but you’ve got no idea what ones? (shaking her head) You really are a lummox aren’t you?\n\nJESSE (grinning): That’s Mr. Lummox to you Brain.\n\nDARIA (smirking): You wouldn’t know a brain if one kicked you in the ass. (Bt) Turn around and let me test that theory.\n\nJANE (laughing): Sounds like you’ve already got pet names. Twisted ones, but you guys are pretty twisted to begin with.\n\nDARIA: I hate to admit it, but she’s got a point. No one would believe me calling you honey or baby.\n\nJESSE: Makes sense. Brain and Lummox it is then. (grinning) Shake on it?\n\nDARIA (rolling her eyes): You hopeless romantic you.\n\n(The Lane siblings look on confused as Daria and Jesse share a knowing smirk.)\n\nTRENT (clearing his throat): Right, well let’s go get the Tank unloaded Jess. Max and Nick will be here soon for practice.\n\nJANE (groaning): Well there goes my creative spirit. (to Daria) Pizza?\n\nDARIA: You’re buying.\n\n\n[SCENE 4]\n\n(Pizza King. Jane and Daria are in their usual booth with two pizzas between them.)\n\nDARIA (eyebrows raised): Hungry Lane?\n\nJANE (chuckling): C’mon Daria. We told Jesse and Trent we were going out for pizza. Food is going to hijack their brains, practice will end early, and they will magically appear at our booth.\n\nDARIA: If you say so.\n\nJANE: Trust me, I know these boys. I’ve got 2 more pizzas on hold, to be put in the oven the second the Tank pulls up. The cook here knows those boys too.\n\n(Daria rolls her eyes and takes a bite of her pizza.)\n\nJANE (grinning): So, aside from Jesse, doing anything this summer?\n\nDARIA (glaring): Were you sleeping when I told you it was just an act? Or has that paint really killed off that many brain cells?\n\nJANE: Aw c’mon Daria. All that time together just might make you realize that you were meant for each other. \n\nDARIA: And Trent will suddenly develop insomnia.\n\nJANE (grinning evilly): Because he’ll lay awake thinking of the chance he missed with you. \n\n(Daria nearly chokes on her pizza. Jane gestures wildly with her slice as Daria takes a drink to try and wash her food down.)\n\nJANE: Until finally, in a moment of desperation he will confess his undying love. The rivalry will of course tear the Spiral apart. And then you’ll end up pregnant with twins. One Jesse’s and one-\n\nWAITRESS: SPIRAL!!!\n\n(There is a bunch of clattering from the kitchen as the waitress quickly fills four huge glasses of soda and sets them on a tray. She almost runs over and slides the tray on the girls’ table and scurries away just as the band walks in the door. Daria is still in shock as Nick slides in next to Jane and Jesse next to Daria. Trent and Max pull up two chairs at the end of the table. They all scoop up a glass and a slice of pizza. They’ve each devoured most of their slices when Jane laughs at Daria, then turns to Trent and smirks.)\n\nJANE: Practice end early?\n\nTRENT (swallowing a mouthful of pizza): Yup (gulp) Couldn’t focus. Too hungry. (eyebrow raised) This all you ordered?\n\nJANE (shooting Daria an “I told you so” look): No Tony’s got 2 more in. Should I make it four?\n\nTRENT (thoughtfully): Could always take the leftovers home for after practice.\n\nJANE: Leftovers, sure. (turning in her seat to yell at the waitress) Yo, Sheila! It’s gonna be a level 3.\n\n(The waitress nods and turns to the kitchen.)\n\nSHEILA: Level 3 Tone!\n\n(She immediately sets up another tray with four glasses on it and begins filling them. Daria raises an eyebrow at Jane.)\n\nDARIA: Level 3?\n\nJANE: Yep, Tony developed a rating system a few years ago, so he could be prepared.\n\nDARIA: And how high does this scale go?\n\nJANE: Up to 10.\n\nDARIA: Have you ever had a level 10?\n\n(Everyone at the table immediately stops eating and lowers their heads.)\n\nJANE (whispering): Only once.\n\nDARIA: What happened?\n\nJANE (whispering): We don’t talk about it Daria. (Bt) too painful.\n\nMAX (sadly): Poor Gina, she was a good woman.\n\n(The band just sits there silently for a moment as if mourning. Daria stares at them all in disbelief. Sheila walks over, quickly scooping up the guys’ now empty cups and replacing them with full ones. She grabs an empty pizza pan and ducks as a guy in an apron reaches over her to set down a new pizza. The moment is broken, and the guys all eagerly dive in.)\n\nDARIA: I hate to see what the check is gonna look like. I hope you remembered your wallet Jane.\n\nJANE: No need, Tony will just put it on their tab, and Mom will settle the bill the next time she breezes through.\n\nDARIA: They have a tab?\n\nJANE (nodding): Yup, Nick’s dad is the owner’s cousin. (Bt) And speaking of cousins… here comes yours and her cronies.\n\n(Daria glances out the window and sees the former Fashion Club walking towards the restaurant. She lightly elbows Jesse.)\n\nDARIA: Here comes your fan club.\n\n(Jesse casually slides his arm around Daria’s shoulder, frowning as she shifts uncomfortably.)\n\nJESSE: If this is too awkward for you….\n\nDARIA: No, it’s fine. (Bt) But try to cop a feel and I’ll show you what steel toes are for.\n\nJESSE (grinning): Damn, there go my plans for tonight. I take it second base is the third date?\n\nDARIA (smirk): I don’t even slow dance til the 5th date.\n\nJESSE (eyebrow raised): You dance? Cool.\n\nDARIA: Not if my life depended on it.\n\n(Quinn and her friends walk in, followed by the three J’s. Sandi picks a table that is in plain view of Daria’s table, sitting so that she can easily be seen by Jesse. The J’s stumble all over themselves, taking the girls’ orders and running to fetch. Once the food is delivered, Sandi banishes them to a table across the room.)\n\nTRENT (snorting): What a bunch of tools.\n\nJANE: And just think, they want Jesse to join that little cult. Apparently three J’s just isn’t enough to keep up with the Fashion Fiends. A fourth is needed.\n\nDARIA: What was the point in disbanding that club if they still spend all of their time together?\n\nJESSE: No one else wants to spend time with them?\n\n(Daria smirks and the rest of the group laughs. Sandi glances over at the table and sees all the food.)\n\nSANDI: Ugh, how can people eat like that?\n\nTIFFANY: That is sooooo wrooong.\n\nSANDI (looking at Daria): Although I guess some of us don’t have figures worth watching.\n\n(Stacy and Quinn giggle nervously and shoot Daria apologetic looks. Tiffany just stares at Daria’s table blankly. Daria frowns)\n\nJANE (frowning): Hey don’t listen to that. I don’t exactly see guys lining up around the block for her.\n\nMAX: Don’t know why, with that winning personality.\n\nTIFFANY: Hey Saandiii. Isn’t thaaat the guitaaar playeeeer you said you were datiiing?\n\nSANDI (flustered): Tiffany dear, you must have misheard me.\n\nTIFFANY: Why is heee with Daaariaa? Did she steeeeal him? (Bt) That’s sooooo wrooooong.\n\n(Quinn and Stacy try to hide amused smirks as Sandi blushes furiously.)\n\nSANDI: That loser did not steal anything from me. You simply misunderstood me. I said that we should all try and find a musician to date.\n\nTIFFANY: But whyyyyyy? Their cloooothes are all tooorn and stuff.\n\nSANDI (shaking her head): Oh Tiffany, that’s not the point. Every model dates a musician at some point.\n\n(The band chuckles.)\n\nSANDI:  I think we should all get some practice in now. Hone our training skills.\n\nSTACY: Training skills?\n\nSANDI: Geeze Stacy, don’t you know anything?\n\n(Stacy cowers a bit, looking like she might cry.)\n\nSANDI: A model dates a musician for two reasons: Number one, publicity. If she dates a famous musician, people will look at her more. If she dates an up and coming musician, especially a rock musician, people will wonder what she’s thinking. Either way, people will be talking about her.\n\n(Daria and Jane roll their eyes, while the band looks thoughtful. Stacy stares at Sandi with awe and Quinn rolls her eyes when no one’s looking. Tiffany just stares into space.)\n\nSANDI: Number two, civic duty. It is the duty of a fashion icon to make the world more beautiful. When a model dates a musician, she is in a position to influence his manner of dress. A good model will train a musician to avoid fashion don’ts. Within a few months, she will have him cleaned up and dressed for the runway.\n\nSTACY: Wow, how do they do it?\n\nSANDI: Having a good plan is key. And he will need to have some money. (Bt) Tattoo removal is expensive. Piercings are much easier to get rid of.\n\n(The guys stop eating and share looks of shock.)\n\nSANDI: And then of course skin care, calluses are so unattractive.\n\nTRENT: That’s it, I’ve lost my appetite.\n\n(Jane and Daria’s jaws drop as the rest of the band nods in agreement. Trent turns to the waitress.)\n\nTRENT: Sheila! Can we get the rest to go?\n\nSHEILA: Sure thing sweetie.\n\nTRENT (turning back): I really need to get to my guitar right now. Make sure my calluses are good and strong.\n\n(Jesse looks at the hand that’s not on Daria, studying it intently for a moment. Daria grabs his other hand and looks at it thoughfully.)\n\nDARIA: Hmm, maybe a good moisturizer is in order.\n\nJESSE (eyes wide): Whuh?\n\nDARIA (smirking): Relax, I don’t use that crap on myself, why would I use it on you?\n\nJESSE: To train me.\n\nDARIA (rolling her eyes): Please do not compare me to those air heads. (louder, looking at Sandi) I believe if you like someone enough to date them, why try and change what attracted you in the first place?\n\n(Sandi crosses her arms and glares. Jesse turns and smiles at Daria.)\n\nJESSE: You think my calluses are attractive?\n\nDARIA (blushing): Well… I… Um\n\nJESSE (grinning): C’mon Daria, no need to be shy. I’m sure Jane and the guys would all love to hear what made you want me.\n\nDARIA (eyes narrowing): You are so dead. If there weren’t so many witnesses right now…\n\nJANE (grinning): Oooh, she wants to get you alone Jess!\n\nDARIA: Right after I get some alone time with you Lane.\n\n(Jane blows Daria a kiss and the guys all chuckle. Daria glares at all of them for a moment, then smirks, looking back at Jesse.)\n\nDARIA: Two can play this game Jesse. (crossing her arms) What made you want me… (venomous) Dear?\n\nJESSE (grinning): Your sparkling personality?\n\nSANDI: Well it certainly wasn’t her looks….\n\n(Everyone at both tables stares at Sandi in shock. The silence is broken by Sheila bringing over a stack of pizza boxes.)\n\nSHEILA: Here ya go boys! Make sure to let the girls have some of this.\n\n(She walks away and the group looks at Daria nervously.)\n\nDARIA: Lets go, something in this place is killing my appetite.\n\n(The band and Jane shuffle out of the booth and start to head toward the door. Daria grabs her drink and looks at it.)\n\nDARIA: Sheila? Could I get a refill for the road?\n\nSHEILA: Of course sweetie. (takes the cup and fills it) There ya go.\n\nDARIA: Thanks.\n\n(As Daria is walking by Sandi’s table, she uses her thumb to pop the lid off of her drink. She nonchalantly dumps it over Sandi’s head, tossing the cup in her lap.)\n\nDARIA (deadpan): Oops. (leaning in close and lowering her voice) This is your final warning. You will not win this battle. Back off or suffer the consequences.\n\n(Daria calmly straightens and joins her friends. She turns and gives Sandi a smirk as Jesse slips his arm around her shoulders.)\n\nDARIA: I wasn’t that thirsty after all.\n\n(The Jane, Daria and the band leave. Sandi sits there, staring down at her lap for a moment. Finally she shrieks, startling everyone.)\n\nSANDI: That…. That….AUGH! She will pay for this.\n\n(Quinn tries to hide a smirk as Stacy looks after Daria with a mixture of awe and fear. Tiffany stares at Sandi.)\n\nTIFFANY: Saaaandi, you’re all weeeet. (Bt) That is soooooo wrooooong.\n\n(Quinn and Stacy stifle giggles with a sip of soda as Sandi glares at Tiffany.)','9da74c92bad9afc1e25803497a2d4a1a',0,'','1jq0klro',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462931,28685,11,1107,0,'141.154.58.94',1298448859,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Which Fictional Universe?','The Pulp Adventure universe.\n\nDoc Savage, The Shadow, The Spider, (and the rest).\n\nWhat I wouldn\'t give to be on a street corner and see Doc and the crew in an open top roadster speeding down Broadway, Doc on the running board, Renny and Long Tom, supermachine pistols in hand, Monk and Ham bickering, and Johnny, at the wheel, leaning on the extra loud horn and steering through traffic.\n\nThat\'s about as close to heaven as it would get for me.\n\nFailing that, the Daria universe.

Jane was shunned due to parental pressure in elementary school, hit middle school or junior high (depending which of the systems Lawndale uses) where it carries on from inertia, then by high school due to bad experiences when younger she has the issues with her peers, such as not being overtly interested in trying to have anything to do with them anymore, that likely landed her in the self esteem class to meet Daria.','044088b247a8ea511080ee2959f34b3a',0,'oA==','3eht0nww',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462939,31421,3,525,0,'70.106.236.237',1298453086,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Introducing - The Thread of Facepalm Bait!','[quote=&quot;JrGtr42&quot;:1ahqlbyt][url=http&#58;//news&#46;yahoo&#46;com/s/yblog_theticket/20110222/ts_yblog_theticket/rush-limbaugh-says-first-lady-is-no-swimsuit-model#mwpphu-container:1ahqlbyt]Rush Limbaugh says First Lady is &quot;No swimsuit material.&quot;[/url:1ahqlbyt]\nThe first though that came through my head was (of course,) &quot;Hello, pot?

To me, the idea makes it worse.[/quote:23qp10i2]I didn\'t endorse that idea, and I don\'t think the song unequivocally does so either. The song ends with two voices singing contrasting refrains, one saying that we have to try to make sense of things, the other saying that trying to make sense of things can drive you crazy, and you can agree with either, both, or neither. And neither of them necessarily has to be interpreted, in my view, as referring to any unseen plan. Either or both can, if you like, be read as talking about a meaning or purpose which we choose to derive from experience, not about a predetermined one.[/quote:23qp10i2]\n\nSorry, didn\'t watch the video since it wanted to sit and spin instead of play (damn, I hate youtube for that).

There is the purpose of criminal penalties: are they punishment for culturally inappropriate behavior, an attempt to reform those engaging in culturally inappropriate behavior to no longer do so, protection of society and it\'s individual elements (ie people) and their inherent rights, etcetera.  There is the point at which a human life begins to deserve protection of it\'s rights vs the rights of others.  Inherent in that last question is of course where one person\'s rights end and another person\'s rights begin, though ultimately this also ties into the first question as well.  There is the question of whether pragmatism, idealism or some other abstraction is the right view to approach such issues from.  There are others, but these are the ones that are the largest part of the issue at hand.\n\nFirst I\'ll state that I agree with the US Supreme Court that, pragmatically, viability is the appropriate threshold on the beginnings of a human beings rights to protection.  I\'d say, in my tempered idealism (basically 60/40 idealism to pragmatism), that the proceedings for an abortion should begin by the end of the third month and be completed by the end of the fourth because those who wish to be sexually active but not become pregnant should be using multiple birth control methods to help prevent failures and able to find out if they are pregnant by the third month.  In an absolutely ideal world this would be a non-issue as we\'d have a 100% effective, zero side effect birth control method other than abstinence and abortions wouldn\'t happen except in cases of tough medical issues (the real world is, of course, never going to be absolutely ideal).\n\nOn the implicit topic of where rights begin and end, I accept it as an absolute truth that a person\'s rights end where they infringe upon another person\'s rights in any way.  This topic definitely needs a different view from both pragmatism and idealism for me, as ideally this wouldn\'t even need stating and pragmatically it\'s meaninglessly vague.\n\nGiven the topic of the purpose for criminal penalties, I hold to the idea that their only valid purpose is to protect society at large and, most especially, the individuals who comprise society from  those who would infringe on their rights.  Punishment would be idealistically unneeded vengeance and is pragmatically ineffective at preventing crimes. Meanwhile reform is ideally an unneeded concept and pragmatically just treating the symptoms of deeper social issues as reform is only viable in the context of those for whom infringing upon other\'s rights is left as the only path the pursue their own [url=http&#58;//en&#46;wikipedia&#46;org/wiki/Life,_liberty,_and_the_pursuit_of_happiness:jfbj3vkz]inalienable rights[/url:jfbj3vkz].','7602ca419582dba2cf705fbce53a7d3a',0,'EA==','jfbj3vkz',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462954,32020,4,65,0,'173.13.28.177',1298466489,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: SSW:\'Boss\' Limbaugh critizes Michelle Obama\'s weight','[quote=&quot;Stripey&quot;:1qw424sg]Can anyone else say hypocrisy?[/quote:1qw424sg]\nNo, but I can say, &quot;Baron Harkonnen will say absolutely anything in order to trash those filthy liberals in the White House, and not only will he not get in trouble for it, his brain-dead audience will lap it up like manna from Heaven.&quot; (The word he\'d [i:1qw424sg]actually[/i:1qw424sg] want to use in place of &quot;liberals&quot; -- a sentiment this bigoted pile of excrement constantly couches in barely-disguised euphemisms -- is one that would get him Dr. Laura\'d in a heartbeat, in a just and decent world.) <!-- s:evil: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_evil.gif\" alt=\":evil:\" title=\"Evil or Very Mad\" /><!-- s:evil: -->','16f07b8e0cde3e9c50b5a7fe13438264',0,'oA==','1qw424sg',1,0,'',0,0,0),(462955,32023,3,39,0,'78.144.62.200',1298466697,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: I\'m not around much at the moment','Congratulations on the new job!\n\nHmm, laptop.

First he defeated Mackenzie after an illegal low blow, then he defeated Kevin Thompson after a chair shot.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;And the only reason Bob Rollins isn\'t the LFC Men\'s World Champion right now is because of interference by Anarchy In The MD.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;The week after that, Ruttheimer would do this on Friday Night Fights...&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](Cut to footage of Upchuck standing in the ring, holding the belt and a microphone)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Upchuck:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot; I am issuing an open challenge to any fighter in the world, to come to Is It \'Mania Yet? and fight me. And I am so confident that I will defeat any fighter that comes my way, I\'ll even put my beloved championship belt on the line. You know... grr... to sweeten the deal.&quot;\n\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Ruttheimer certainly has so shortage of self-confidence, does he?&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;I\'ll simply say this. Pride shall goeth before destruction, Upchuck.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Anyway, let\'s not keep the world waiting. Here\'s Anthony!&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](Cut to DeMartino, standing in the ring)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]DeMartino:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Ladies AND gentlemen, the following CONTEST is scheduled for ONE fall, and it is for the LFC Men\'s WORLD Championship!&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](The crowd cheers. Then, [url=http&#58;//www&#46;youtube&#46;com/watch?v=tjq3_co0p3g:2fplpivz]&quot;Love Rollercoaster&quot; by the Red Hot Chili Peppers[/url:2fplpivz] begins to play, causing them to start booing heavily instead)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]DeMartino:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Introducing FIRST, the CHAMPION... fighting out of every lady\'s fantasies by way of Las Vegas, Nevada, he is the REIGNING and DEFENDING LFC Men\'s World Champion, this is CHARLES... RUTTHEIMER... THE THIRD!!!&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](Upchuck slowly struts onto the entrance stage with a huge grin on his face, flanked by two gorgeous models. He is wearing a white fur coat, an orange pimp hat and a dozen gold necklaces, and is also carrying a golden cane. Most importantly he is wearing a large gold belt, the LFC Men\'s World Championship belt)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;I wonder how much he had to fork out to get those ladies to escort him?&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Charles Ruttheimer III is the champion that nobody in all of the LFC thought they would ever see, but as we saw in those earlier videos, he pulled it off and has held the gold ever since.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Yeah, by hiding under the ring and cheating like the scared little rat he is! The fact that he is carrying the top World Championship in all of men\'s professional wrestling makes me sick to my stomach, and almost makes me feel sorry for the other more talented men in the division.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;But come hell or high water, he\'s managed to stay one step ahead of those men ever since. The only match he\'s lost since he won the title was a brutal Texas Bullrope match with Mackenzie that was, fortunately for him, non-title.&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](The two models walk up onto the apron and sit on the ropes, allowing Upchuck to get into the ring with minimal effort, before they start walking back up the ramp. Upchuck jumps up on the turnbuckle and caresses himself and the championship belt in an almost disturbing manner. As he gets off the ropes, his theme fades out. He walks over to DeMartino and takes the microphone from him)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Great. The jackass is going to talk. Let me just get my bucket ready.&quot;\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Upchuck:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;My name is Charles Ruttheimer the Third... but you already knew that.&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](The crowd boos, before they start chanting &quot;UPCHUCK&quot; to try and piss him off. However, he takes no notice)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Upchuck:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;You know something? Is It \'Mania Yet? is, without question, the single biggest night of the year. A night where mere mortals can achieve feats of, to quote a hero of mine, LEGEN... wait for it... DARY proportions. Between you and me, I\'ve never been more... excited than I am right now. So ladies, you get ready for Senor Suavecito to get you wet! Hell, guys, get ready to get wet as well! Hell, even grannies that are past menopause will once again get wet one more time!&quot;\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Can we cut his mic now?&quot;\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Upchuck:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;The dead will rise just to catch a glimpse of the man who\'s carrying...grr... something that is huge. Something that is long. Something that is thick. And something that all the ladies want to touch.&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](Upchuck opens his fur coat, takes off his championship belt and holds it up to the crowd, who boo in response)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Upchuck:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;That\'s right! This LFC Men\'s World Championship belt!&quot;\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;I thought for a second that we\'d have to start editing this match out of the replay broadcast.&quot;\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Upchuck:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;So, whoever this mystery challenger is, get down here right now so I can get this over with. As you can see, I will have a couple of luscious ladies waiting for me back at the hotel, which is more than I can say for the rest of you. Grr... FEISTY!!!&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](The crowd boos again as Upchuck hands the mic back to DeMartino. He takes off his fur coat to reveal orange tiger-striped tights, the back of which depict a fancy airbrushed mural of an excessively muscular Upchuck being caressed by two semi-naked women)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;This guy disgusts me so much. He\'s an embarrassment to this company, he\'s an embarrassment to this sport and he still owes me a new TV from when he stole the title!&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;He relies on dirty tactics way more than he needs to, in my opinion, because underneath that sleazy veneer he is actually a talented wrestler.&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](The crowd is hushed in anticipation as they wait for the mystery challenger to appear)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]DeMartino:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Introducing NEXT, the CHALLENGER...&quot;\n\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Here we go, Janet! Time for the mystery man to make his identity known.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Whoever he is, I just hope he treats Upchuck like Tommy Lee treats his drum set.&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz]([url=http&#58;//www&#46;youtube&#46;com/watch?v=uWHH1Updhig:2fplpivz]&quot;I Made It (Cash Money Heroes)&quot; by Kevin Rudolf[/url:2fplpivz] begins to play, as golden waterfall pyro starts to rain down from underneath the main video screen)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]DeMartino:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;...fighting out of Newtown, Connecticut... making his LFC debut, this is TOM... SLOANE!!!&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](The crowd goes mental as Tom makes his way through the waterfall pyro and onto the entrance stage. He is wearing a navy blue and white wrestling singlet with the Fielding crest on the front. In the ring, Upchuck looks like he has just seen a ghost)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;OH MY GOODNESS!!! That\'s Tom Sloane, the Olympic gold medallist! What\'s he doing here in the LFC?&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;What does it look like? He\'s going to crush that damn Upchuck!&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Ruttheimer is going to be up for one of the single biggest challenges of his career with the 3-time Bromwell University All-American Tom Sloane. If not, he can kiss the LFC Men\'s World Championship goodbye.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;I am nearly lost for words here. Only on a night like this can something so shocking, so massive happen!&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](Tom gets into the ring, hops onto the turnbuckle and poses to a huge reception. He walks over to the opposite corner and does it again. As he gets down, his theme fades out)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]DeMartino:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;And when the action BEGINS, the referee in CHARGE for this contest is Monique Dupri.&quot;\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Nice... we got a female referee for the Men\'s World Championship match.&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](Monique ushers in both Upchuck and Tom into the middle of the ring. Upchuck reluctantly hands her his championship belt, and she raises it up to the crowd before DeMartino holds his microphone out for her to speak into)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Monique:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;OK guys, this match is for the World Championship. You were both given your instructions back in your dressing rooms, so you don\'t need to be told them again. Protect yourselves at all times. Follow my instructions at all times. We WILL have a clean fight, understood? Touch hands, and best of luck to both of you.&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](Tom offers out his hands, but Upchuck slaps them away. This causes the crowd to boo heavily. Monique hands the championship belt to DeMartino, who gets out of the ring with it)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Sloane trying to make a good impression by showing Ruttheimer respect. Not that it was reciprocated, mind you, but at least he tried.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Well that\'s all well and good, but I\'d rather see Tom make a good impression in Upchuck\'s face.&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](The bell rings, signifying the start of the match. Tom and Upchuck lock up, but Tom goes behind and takes Upchuck down to the ground with an amateur-style slam)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;There you go. Not even ten seconds in and Upchuck is down face-first on the canvas.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Sloane asserting his authority quickly here, as he picks up Ruttheimer and goes for the wristlock.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Normally, people would counter in and out of this, but look at the torque Tom is putting on that wrist! There will be extensive bruising there for sure!&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](Tom then drops down to his knees, wrenching Upchuck\'s arm over his shoulder)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Sloane is looking right at home here as he takes down Ruttheimer with that armbreaker.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;I think that arm is a bit stronger than the other one thanks to Upchuck\'s... ahem... exercise regimen, so I think Tom should do that again.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Sloane off the ropes and he hits Ruttheimer with a huge forearm! Now that\'s a strong arm, Janet!&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;And unlike Upchuck, Tom gets strength in those arms through old-fashioned weights and bicep curls.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] Sloane is really dominating Ruttheimer here!&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Most definitely, and I think Upchuck is going to have to go through every dirty trick in his playbook if he is even to stand a ghost of a chance at retaining the belt.&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](Upchuck gets on his knees and starts begging Tom to have mercy)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;How pathetic! He\'s pleading Tom to stop hurting him!&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Wait... I\'m sure we\'ve seen this somewhere before.&quot; \n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Now he\'s taking off an elbow pad? What the hell?&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](Upchuck throws one of his elbow pads to the mat, which Monique walks over to pick up. With the referee\'s back turned. Upchuck hits Tom hard in the groin)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;And there\'s one of those dirty tactics right there! An absolutely blatant low blow by Ruttheimer, right behind the referee\'s back!&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Oh for God\'s sake... he\'s going to dodge another damn bullet!&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Here\'s the cover... 1... 2... and Sloane kicks out!&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Yes! Yes! Upchuck\'s cheap shots aren\'t enough to save his ass this time!&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Sloane is still down though.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Well then, I guess we know he\'s not wearing a cup.&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](As Monique checks on Tom, Upchuck rolls out of the ring and tries to grab the championship belt from DeMartino. He tries to fight back, but Upchuck shoves him down and takes the belt)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;And now ring announcer Anthony DeMartino is down! This is bad even by Ruttheimer\'s low standards.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Look, I hate DeMartino just as much as any man, but even he doesn\'t deserve to be harassed like that.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;I think Ruttheimer is trying to walk away from this one.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Coward. I hope referee Dupri uses some feminine discretion and refuses to count.&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](Upchuck starts to walk back up the entrance ramp, but is stopped in his tracks by the playing of &quot;Hail To The Chief&quot;)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;That music could only mean one thing, Janet.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Yes. LFC General Manager Angela Li is coming out to lay down the law!&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](Ms. Li walks out onto the entrance stage to a loud, but mixed, reception. She is wearing her signature grey business suit and holding a microphone)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Li:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Oh, hello Mr. Ruttheimer. Now, maybe it\'s just me, but if I myself were to issue an open challenge, I think that I would be honourable enough to see it through, regardless of who my opponent was.&quot;\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Depends on how much prize money is at stake first.&quot;\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Li:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;These people have paid their hard-earned money to see a showcase of the best professional wrestling in the world, and by the looks of things, you\'re going to deny them of that.&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](Upchuck arrogantly nods and smiles in response. In the ring, Tom is only just getting up on his feet)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Li:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Which is why I\'ve made this decision.&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](Upchuck\'s smile quickly disappears, as the crowd gives a small cheer)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Li:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;You see, the Lawndale Fighting Championship is a place where the people on the scene make the big decisions. Not some anonymous scaredy-cat sending their messages via e-mail for the commentator to read out from a laptop.&quot;\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;That\'s right. None of that crap here in the LFC.&quot;\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Li:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Long story short, if you get yourself disqualified or counted out, Mr. Ruttheimer, the LFC Men\'s World Championship will go to Tom Sloane! Have a good evening, Charles!&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](The crowd gives a huge cheer of approval as Li leaves the stage. Upchuck is so stunned at the new stipulations, he doesn\'t even notice Tom rolling out of the ring, chasing him down and hitting a clothesline from behind)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Bahahahahaha! First LFC General Manager Angela Li comes through with an uncharacteristically excellent decision, and now Tom is going to give Upchuck some more punishment.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz]] &quot;Look at this... Sloane has thrown Ruttheimer on his shoulders and is literally carrying him back to the ring!&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](Tom walks close to the crowd, giving them the opportunity to give Tom a pat on the back and/or slap Upchuck upside the head. Tom eventually throws Upchuck back into the ring, then gets in himself)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;This is great. I\'ve got to try and get some popcorn to eat while I watch this.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Sloane has Ruttheimer back on his feet and whips him to the corner... Ruttheimer counters...&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;And nearly sends Tom crashing into referee Dupri!&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](Tom stops in his tracks trying to not hit Monique, only for Upchuck to hit him from behind with a splash, knocking both Tom and Monique down)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Oh no! Referee Monique Dupri has been caught in the crossfire! She won\'t be getting up any time soon.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] (muffled) &quot;Damn Upchuck. Now no one will see him cheat.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Where\'d you get that popcorn?&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] (muffled) &quot;What? You expect the people in the front rows to have to walk all the way up to the concourse to get food?&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Regardless, Ruttheimer is outside the ring, looking for some kind of foreign object.&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](Upchuck pulls out a chair and throws it in the ring. Upchuck gets back in, picks it up, and waits for Tom to get up)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Ruttheimer has that steel chair, and he looks like he\'s ready to swing for the fences.&quot; \n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Tom has already kicked out of a low blow, but very few people kick out of a stiff chair shot. I hope he\'ll be the exception that proves the rule.&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](Upchuck swings the chair, but Tom ducks. The chair rebounds off the top rope and hits Upchuck in the face, dazing him)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;You have got to be kidding... this is so good it just has to be fattening.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;What a cruel twist of fate for Ruttheimer! He\'s been hoisted by his own petard and now Sloane is in prime position to put him away.&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](Tom grabs Upchuck around his waist, locks his arms and throws him over his head)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;What an overhead suplex by Sloane! Ruttheimer is out!&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;He threw him from one side of the ring to the other! But why isn\'t he going for the pin?&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;I think he\'s going to make sure that there is no way that Ruttheimer kicks out of any pin attempt he makes.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Well my theory is that he knows that Upchuck is done and dusted. Now he\'s just going to entertain the world and, more importantly, me by making him suffer.&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](Tom picks up Upchuck and hits a second overhead suplex. The crowd starts to chant &quot;ONE MORE SUPLEX&quot; as he still refuses to go for the pin)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;There\'s a second overhead suplex! This capacity crowd is going ballistic here! Listen to them, Janet! Janet?&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;ONE MORE SUPLEX!!!&quot; (clap clap clapclapclap) &quot;ONE MORE SUPLEX!!!&quot; (clap clap clapclapclap)\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;My broadcast colleague seems to agree with this crowd, and it looks like Sloane will happily oblige.&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](Tom holds up three fingers to the crowd, which responds with a near-deafening roar of approval. He picks up Upchuck again and throws him over his head for a third overhead suplex. The crowd cheer is nearly deafening)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Yes! Yes! Yes! There is no way Upchuck is getting up from that!&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;There\'s a third overhead suplex from Sloane and I would have to think Ruttheimer\'s chances of winning this match went out the window at least two suplexes ago.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;And now Tom is going... to the top rope?&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Oh dear... his amateur experience doesn\'t include doing high-risk moves like this.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;But I bet he\'s seen plenty of wrestling movies. Well, at least the only one that was any good.&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](Tom is visibly nervous as he climbs to the top rope. Eventually, he stands up, jumps off and hits a body splash)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Sloane soars like an eagle and hits a picture-perfect splash on Ruttheimer! But that looked like it hurt him a bit.&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;He\'ll be fine. All he has to do now is hook the leg for the easiest cover he\'ll ever make in his career!&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Referee Monique Dupri makes the count... 1... 2... 3!!! We have a new LFC Men\'s World Champion!&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;And not a moment too soon!&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](The crowd erupts with cheers as Tom calmly stands up and raises his arms in victory. A half-full bag of popcorn flies into the ring from the direction of the commentary table, hitting Upchuck in the face. The bell rings to end the match, and &quot;I Made It (Cash Money Heroes)&quot; starts to play. Monique presents Tom with the championship belt as DeMartino stands up, microphone in hand)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]DeMartino:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Ladies AND gentlemen, the WINNER of this match and... NEW LFC Men\'s WORLD Champion... TOM... SLOANE!!!&quot;\n\n[color=gold:2fplpivz][i:2fplpivz]Winner - [b:2fplpivz]Tom Sloane[/b:2fplpivz][/i:2fplpivz][/color:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;First he was an All-American. Then he was an Olympic gold medallist. Tonight, he becomes a LFC Men\'s World Champion!&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;Believe me when I say that the entire world is rejoicing right now! From Argentina to Australia to Great Britain to Spain... this is a moment in history, skinny! Upchuck has been dethroned, and a new king stands on top of the mountain!&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;But you only like him because he destroyed Ruttheimer, right? You\'ll start to hate him once he fights other people?&quot;\n[b:2fplpivz]Barch:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;You know it!&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](Tom rolls out of the ring and walks back up the entrance ramp, slapping hands with the crowd)[/i:2fplpivz]\n\n[b:2fplpivz]O\'Neill:[/b:2fplpivz] &quot;We have Diane Bennett standing by with the new LFC Men\'s World Champion!&quot;\n\n[i:2fplpivz](Cut to Bennett, microphone in hand.

The first issue of the day: tangerine or orange? I think that-“ With the sound of the Word “orange” Stacy started sobbing desconsolately. “What is it now, Stacy?”, Sandi asked with impatience.\n\n“Sorry… It’s just… I miss Quinn! Why she couldn’t see the truth?! Why did she have to abandon us??”Her sobs started to increase in volumen until they become a high-pitched bawling.\n\n“Oh, DON’T worry, Stacy. It is not your fault if Quinn has failed to see the rationality of our premises and decided not to do as Ayn Rand says and take control of her own life. It’s probably ‘cause of that gloomy anti-life cousin or whatever she has.”\n\n“Really? Do you think so?” The tears started to subside.\n\n“Well, of [i:2lhrpmne]course[/i:2lhrpmne]. That’s why I am the president of the Fashion Clu- Fashion [i:2lhrpmne]Objectivism[/i:2lhrpmne] Club, and Quinn is –was- the vicepresident.” Stacy wiped her last tears and returned to the previous position of interested listener. “Okay, as I was saying befote this [i:2lhrpmne]unexpected[/i:2lhrpmne] interruption-“ Stacy lowed her head. “-we were about to discuss what kind of colour is going to predominate this season. I say tangerine. Next issue-“\n\n“Um, Sandi?”\n\nSandi sighed. “[i:2lhrpmne]Yes[/i:2lhrpmne], Stacy?”\n\n“Why tangerine?”\n\nSandi replied like it was obvious. “Well, because it’s rational.”\n\n“But… I prefer orange.”\n\n“WHAT?” Sandi’s voice sounded like a gust of wind in a hurricane. “Oh, my. I hope, Staaaacy, that this is your idea of a joke.”\n\n“What? But…”\n\n“Such an answer would be so IMPROPER of a Fashion Objectivism Club member. It lacks so much rationality. I would even say, that  whoever say it has most certainly has [i:2lhrpmne]faulty[/i:2lhrpmne] premises.”\n\n“No! I mean, I’m not-“\n\n“I hope not, my dear Such a flawed individual wouldn’t have a place between rational individuals.

Shaaaaaaame ooooon yooooouuuu.”\n\nStacy started hyperventilating. “NO! No, I’m not! Tangerine is better! Much better! I don’t have erroneous premises!”\n\nSandi smiled. “Well, I’m happy to hear that, Stacy. The key to solve this kind of problems are to find and eliminate them befote it’s too late.

Once again invoking the Kryten Rule - CINCGREEN was dead-on in his reviews. \'Online hack\' is inaccurate, as is \'spouting off for attention and shock value\'. If CINCGREEN simply wanted attention, all he\'d have needed to do was start writing - and let\'s be honest, he\'d have been a freight train through the crowd of writers that were active back then, running down almost everyone save Ms. Wild, Nemo Blank and Renfield (and the possible inclusion of C.E. Forman, were that writer still putting out fics). Imagine if he had decided to do [i:2djx6x0v]The New Kids[/i:2djx6x0v] as an AU series like [i:2djx6x0v]HHOF[/i:2djx6x0v], in a fandom [b:2djx6x0v]before[/b:2djx6x0v] [i:2djx6x0v]TAG[/i:2djx6x0v], [i:2djx6x0v]FiC, Apocalyptic Daria, Daria:Hunter[/i:2djx6x0v], [i:2djx6x0v]Where\'s Mary Sue When You Need Her?,[/i:2djx6x0v] and the fics of Jtranser and the Bealer. \n\nHe\'d have been the proverbial talk of the town.\n\nAs for shock value - well, he decided to specifically do just that, and he succeeded, by writing [i:2djx6x0v]Night Of The Storm[/i:2djx6x0v]. (I am personally glad that FF.net pulled their MA-rated fics, because [i:2djx6x0v]the review that I did of that fic...[/i:2djx6x0v] Part of the reason why I wrote [i:2djx6x0v]Winters[/i:2djx6x0v] was in a self-inflicted \'just desserts\' manner - the person who slammed the fic so hard would be the only one to write a continuation of it?

At other times he is direct, famously in his review of the 1994 Rob Reiner comedy North, which he concluded by writing that:\n\n    I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it.[42][/i:q9vd08a2][/quote:q9vd08a2]','0ef8a7686c5b14d2483d33d0d86f1964',0,'oA==','q9vd08a2',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463005,31900,6,65,0,'173.13.28.177',1298480488,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Rewarding the classics','BG, I think we\'ll have to agree to disagree.

It\'s not always like it is in the movies.\n\nOften you\'ll see the hero or the villain grabbing up a hapless lackey and slam them into the wall.  Huge cracks may appear in the surface, or a huge hole may be created by the body going all the way through it.  The lackey is either dead or unconscious, depending on the movie\'s rating, but invariably they are still in one piece.\n\nThe real deal is much messier than that.  Your average human being won\'t make it, and they rarely make much of an impression on the wall itself.  You should see the way the skull seems to deflate as the insides splatter outward through the cracks.  It\'s a beautiful display of violence, destruction, and death.\n\nI would like to show it to you personally.\n\nBut for now, I have to deal with the assholes who are attacking me as if they have any chance whatsoever.  To their credit, however, they do have enhanced constitutions, built up to withstand massive amounts of damage, accelerate their reaction times, and more than quadruple their strength.\n\nIt\'s still nothing compared to what I and the others can do, but I don\'t blame them.  The humans simply don\'t have the technological capability to truly stand up to us.  And on the bright side, due to their denser body structure, they actually do go through concrete walls like you see in the movies.\n\nAs bullets bounce off my skin, I rush forward and grab one of them by the face.  He screams as my fingers find their way into his eye sockets, popping the squishy orbs within.  I easily haul his larger form over to the nearest wall and smash him into it and then through it, sending out a spray of brightly painted concrete, followed by his slightly crushed body and then by me as I compress my body down to fit through the hole.\n\nI land easily on my feet, the soldier\'s head still held in my hand like a bowling ball attached to a human-shaped weight on one side.  My skin no longer feels pain, but it is super-sensitive enough to make out his pulse.  He\'s still alive and conscious.  Good.  He will actually be awake and aware to enjoy his flight, then.\n\nPulling back my arm, I launch the soldier into the air with an overhand throw.  His gouged eyes leave a sticky trail of gore as he rockets upward into the evening sky.  To the naked human eye, he has eventually gone far enough to disappear into the navy blue, but I am still able to track his arc long after.\n\nA bit of movement catches my attention and I notice one of their fighter jets flying overhead.  Standing on the wing of this quaint little flying machine is Burnout, her blonde hair flaring back and her face split by a slasher grin of glee.  She plunges her hand into the jet\'s fuselage and begins to tear out everything and anything she finds underneath.  Wiring, mechanical parts, structural sections, everything, and then she tosses them over her shoulder as the plane begins to dip and finally spin toward the ground.\n\nThe explosion is bright against the dark sky, but I am not worried for Burnout\'s safety.  She will walk away from the crash completely intact.\n\nBullets chase me through the hole in the wall.  I ignore them.  They have no more effect on me outside the school than they did inside.  And they\'ll stop soon anyway.  I can sense Jane slipping in behind each of the soldiers and snapping their necks one by one.\n\nRemember those denser physical structures I mentioned?  They make the cracking sound that much more satisfying to hear.  The wheezing and gagging of asphyxiation made by those who weren\'t instantly killed by the impromptu chiropractic work isn\'t too bad, either.\n\n&quot;Jeez, Daria,&quot; Jane says once she\'s finished.  &quot;If you wanted a lead shower, I\'m sure there are better ways to get it.&quot;\n\nI don\'t laugh.  I didn\'t much before, and I haven\'t even once since the transformation hit.  But she knows I found it funny all the same.  Good old Jane.  Always good for a joke.\n\n&quot;Where\'s Andrea?&quot; I ask, dividing my attention between the answer and the sounds of combat in the distance.\n\n&quot;Clearing up some of the Joes over on Dega Street,&quot; she says.  &quot;Shouldn\'t take much longer before Lawndale is ours.&quot;\n\nI nod in agreement.  Even with the surprisingly sophisticated defense put up by the US Armed Forces, almost as if they knew we were coming, the entire operation has gone extremely well.  We and all the others like us were sent here to wipe the place clean for our people to repopulate, and without ego I can safely say that we are doing so extremely well.\n\nA tank trundles its way onto Lawndale High\'s grounds and aims its main gun at Jane and me.  We trade a glance, then she grins widely and cracks her knuckles in anticipation.\n\nOnce upon a time, we were the outcasts.  Unable to fit into human society and never knowing why.  Now we understand.  And eventually the humans will as well, even if we have to kill every single one of them to get it through their heads.  We are their gods now.\n\nAnd their world is ours.\n\n[b:2glbxr88]END[/b:2glbxr88]\n\nRoland \'Jim\' Lowery\nFebruary 23, 2011','5472a0eabefe85881a0f8e991cce8d62',0,'YQ==','2glbxr88',1,1298499675,'',885,1,0),(463048,32015,3,64,0,'173.9.37.98',1298490735,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Satan: defender of democracy','[quote=&quot;Charles RB&quot;:15x9p7c4]So one of the odder things Gaddafi has shat out during the revolution is that the rebels are &quot;serving the devil&quot;.\n\nWow, that\'s sure nice of Lucifer, helping to overthrow a horrible, mass-murdering dictator!

Is there one, &quot;right&quot; morality, by which all people must be judged, or is morality a spectrum which can be viewed in many different angles?\n\n\n\n\nMy personal belief is that morality [i:3d53ht7y]is[/i:3d53ht7y] relative, but that different moralities are more or less conducive to different types of situations. For example, if I was playing capture the flag with some friends (physical activity, ha!), I would try to cause as much grief as possible for the opposing team. This is because I, while playing capture the flag, am acting in a completely self-serving way way. This is generally accepted, because the whole point of capture the flag is to win; it is a competitive game. In real life, though, I would never think of acting like I do while playing a competitive game. This is because, in life, I am not trying to &quot;win&quot;, that is, be as self-serving as possible, without giving a damn about others. I am trying to be as productive and efficient member of society as possible. Neither of these moralities is wrong, they are simply different, and they are both best suited for different occasions.\n\nI realize this is a bit of a basic question, philosophically, but its one that has always been very interesting to me, and one that I enjoy hearing people\'s take on.','65b7c3b84f88e4f8767646bac5f61f3e',0,'IA==','3d53ht7y',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463069,32028,6,809,0,'68.160.253.99',1298499442,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Invaders (One-shot, COMPLETE)','FUCK yeah!  <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D -->  \n\nThat\'s it, Jimbo.

To me, the idea makes it worse.[/quote:1uta9mpk]I didn\'t endorse that idea, and I don\'t think the song unequivocally does so either. The song ends with two voices singing contrasting refrains, one saying that we have to try to make sense of things, the other saying that trying to make sense of things can drive you crazy, and you can agree with either, both, or neither. And neither of them necessarily has to be interpreted, in my view, as referring to any unseen plan.

It\'s certainly not endorsing, and it\'s not even directly discussing, what we might call the \'Romans 8:28\' view, that everything which happens is part of a beneficial divine master plan. The relationship is more indirect. And I do like the way the song ends with two voices putting counterposed views, leaving things open for the listener.

The clouds were perpetually locked in a steel vault that enclosed the whole world.  Leafless trees grew like talons from the ashen ground, with the grass frozen by fire in a perpetual lack of motion, since wind had disappeared as well. There was no cold, no warmth, everything looked as stagnant as a photograph. That was what was left of the world, a still-life in monochrome filled with concrete carcasses and iron ribcages, a landscape of bones growing like pale cysts in the new soot skin fitting the world. The universe died long ago, and no one remained to remember why, to sung all its past glories and praise its wit, deplore its cruelty, or study its subtleties. The man who now left the first marks in that world in generations, would never know of the greatness and awe that inspired its inhabitants, the bravery of its warriors, the whims of its rulers, or the brilliance of its thinkers. All that remained were the fungoid whiteness of the skulls in the common graves. All of them, ruler, thinker, soldier or citizen, lay together, indistinguishable.\n\nThe man’s footmarks remained in the ash layer, outlined with shadows thick as charcoal traces.  Still and immutable, they resembled the first steps in an alien planet. They even had an alien feel themselves, almost as if after so much time any sign of human activity had developed to be a forbidden taint. A stigma on the shrouded world. They formed a perfect line, so incongruous with its human source that most outside viewers, if there would be the possibility of something like that in such a wasteland, would deem it a mirage. It wasn’t a mirage, just the product of single-mindedness. The man had been walking for what it looked like ages. Very possibly, empires had risen and fallen since he started his walk, only not there. Not in this barren, God-forsaken land. Though monotonous, the walker had seen everything the charred landscape had to offer. He had seen the remains of large cities, elevating its fingers to the sky, in a futile try to grasp the suffocating skies, looking like whale bodies washed ashore. The endless extensions of that world’s steppes and plains. The basin of the great oceans, with its gorges still deep and dark, anxious mouths expecting to be fed, being now the rusty iron caskets of all the fishing fleets of the world their resident fauna. Even, in one occasion, the most peculiar sight of all: a nameless slab, left possibly by a fellow traveller as a memorial for all the fallen beings of the world. Strangely enough, not even that monument showed signs of human activity around it, not even ancient ones. It was as if, like the rest of the landmarks of that world, it had been left as props in a set, appearing out of the blue by some barely whispered enchantment.\n\nWhen he reached a smooth hill range, he stopped. There was no particular reason. The hills went on and on in all directions. It was as good a place to stop as any other. For a moment, he stood still there, quietly, like the surroundings had absorbed the life he stored and had transformed him in one of the parodies of life that filled the world. Then, calmly, he kneeled down, and digged a couple handfuls of the ash epidermis until he saw a half burned ragdoll and, for the first time since he set foot on that world, a parchment of ground. He took the doll and watched it. It wasn’t special. Just a regular ragdoll made of clothes and thread and stuffing and love, just like every other homemade doll held by a child in existence, with thick black wool as hair and buttons as eyes. Half of the body was burned, and a rip in the side let the man see the insides of the toy, reeking of mold and passed away insect life. It was a matter worthy of enquiry how such an item had managed to be left in such a place, isolated, apart from every other sign of civilization. It had possibly an history of its own, but there was nobody left that could tell it. Its possible wanderings were now a territory reserved for fabulists and storytellers.\n\nThe man held the doll for a moment, and he took out something from his pocket. Clenched in his fists, as if he was hiding something precious from a harmful presence, he took whatever he had in his hand to his mouth, and for a moment it looked like he was going to kiss it. But no, less than an inch of his apparent goal, he stopped the trajectory of his hand and held it. He breathed on it. And then he put whatever he had in his hand inside the doll, and started digging on the hard ground with his bare hands. It was a hard work; even with the proper tools, such a ground would have given a tough time to most diggers. Fortunately, he didn’t have to bury anything too big. Just the doll. Once he made a hole large enough to held it, he could left the arduous task, his hands bleeding and dirty from it. He left the toy with care, almost as if it was an actual body, and carefully buried it with the dirt he had extracted while he did the hole. And when he did so, he stood up and went away.\n\nIt took a long time since the departure of the man until the first sprout cracked the crust of dirt in which it had been buried, and showed its timid head to the new, expecting, world. It never was easy; since the first moment the conditions conspired against that tiny spark of life, the first this universe had seen in many time. The perpetually storm-clad skies stole it all the sorely needed rays of sun. They also held all the water they contained for themselves, like greedy leeches. The ground was sore, fruitless, hardened in a perpetual winter. All the odds were against that little stalk. But the plant persevered. It was as if it had a will of its own, a conscious drive to grow and expand itself beyond the boundaries which has been assigned to it. The desire to put a root of its own one step beyond the frontier it has always knew. And the ashes were a good source of nutrients, too. Soon, a prickled stem rose straightened up in the top of the hill, with a bulb in its top. When it flourished, it was a rose, bright and red like recently spilled blood. It didn’t stop there, though. The rose had ambitions. Step by step, it stole every inch of terrain to the ashland. Another rose grew, and then another, and then another one, until after a couple generations most of the hill range was covered with roses. Two things happened then. First of all, the skies had been grumping and stirring for a long time. Almost like they could sense the change, and didn’t like it. And after a long ordeal of cracking, crumbling, expressing their discomfort, thundering, whooshing and wailing, the skies gave birth to a violent storm, a firstborn that soon would be accompanied by many siblings. They poured all the water they had held for so long, and it was so liberating that many bloated clouds ended up so slim that a a single ray of light crossed the constellation of clouds and illuminated a rosebush.\n\nThe second thing that happened, in that rosebush illuminated by a patch of light, was that a pale pink bud bloomed. It was the first rose in the garden that wasn’t red.\n\nSoon, the combination of water and sun multiplied exponentially the growth rate of the shrubbery. The expansion of the rosebush, though still far from covering a real piece of terrain, was taking advantage of the lack of hungry herbivorous. And the same way the appropriation of terrain continued, its appropriation of colours, which more than an appropriation seemed like a rediscovery, went on and on. Soon every possible colour was represented in at least one bud, and even a few impossible ones. Some colours were rarer than others. Most of the roses still were red, of course, but a veritable chromatic cornucopia was unfolded with the growth of every flower. Pale yellows, loud blues, indigo, purple, crimson, vermilion, pink, tangerine, brown, auburn, black. Of all colours, blue and green were the hardest one to get. Sometimes they seemed like they were two shy colours, making themselves hard to get. Curious thing, when they appeared, it was always together, as if they were bonded by some tie independent of sheer randomness. When that happened, their contrast made pale all the other roses around. And, curiouser even, no shade of colour was exactly as the previous one. Every rose was a beautifully imperfect copy of its predecessors. Every new rose was a pioneer, expanding its grasp one inch further. Soon, they arrived to the cities, and they found the remains of their former inhabitants. It wasn’t a hindrance: they welcomed the apparition of the new forms with the everlasting warmth they have provided to all the previous novelties. Like if they were made of a lighter matter, the new roots raised the bones from the ashen grave where they lay. The roses covered the ruins, every inch covered by concrete, but they heightened the bones up till the higher levels of the forest, were light sometimes sparked. They embraced femurs, nested in ribcages, and bloomed in the eyesockets of skulls.\n\nThat was all left behind. Roses and bones.','8d0dc63733364c677f0f9608d5b8b4ee',0,'','2eckz1lk',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463115,32028,6,305,0,'200.114.121.240',1298514124,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Invaders (One-shot, COMPLETE)','That was GREAT!  <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D --> \n\n[quote=&quot;Jim North&quot;:30veihzr][quote=&quot;thatLONERchick&quot;:30veihzr]That\'s it, Jimbo.

Especially for you, Daria.”\nHis oldest daughter, Daria, sat in the back seat. She was staring out the window, the music on her MP3 Player cranked as loud as it would go.\nJake turned to Quinn, sitting up front. “Quinn, I know that you don’t particularly like this, but I’m asking you to please, help Daria with this transition. You know how hard things like this are on her.”\n“I know, Daddy,” Quinn sighed, turning up the pop music coming from the car radio. She kept it low enough that Daria wouldn’t hear it over her music, which she assumed was ‘Spring’ from the way Daria was slightly bobbing her head.\nStopping in front of the school, Jake waved to Quinn as she got out. “Have a good day, sweetie! And remember,”\n“I know, Daddy,” she said, giving him a smile as she turned to the crowd.\n“You’re cool. What’s your name?”\n“Quinn Morgendorffer.”\n\nIn the car, Jake had turned around and tapped Daria on the shoulder. She removed her earbuds, and the sound of Vivaldi filled the car.\n“I know, dad,” she said softly, a trace of fear in her voice. “I know.”\n“Are you sure you’re ready for this?” he asked softly. “There’s no shame in waiting longer if you’re not. You mom and I can get you some tutors and it’ll be just like in Highland.”\nShe sighed. “I’m going to at least try,” she said, shoving the MP3 player into her backpack and opening the door. She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and whispered, “Wish me luck, dad,” and was gone.\n\n“Did she say test?” Daria whispered to the tall girl standing next to her.\n“Yeah, a psychological test. Probably just looking at ink blots or something.”\n“Damn,” Daria muttered, and broke free from the crowd as soon as Ms. Li was done with her speech.\n“Ms. Li? Can I talk to you for a minute?”\n“Absolutely,” Ms. Li answered, trying to remember the new girl’s name.\n“I’ve got this paper my mom told me to give you if anything like psych tests came up.” She pulled out a sheet of paper and handed it to Li, who skimmed over it quickly.\n“I assure you, our test has nothing to do with this at all. If your mother has an issue with this, tell her to call me, but in the meanwhile you will take the test just like the others.\n“Dammit,” Daria whispered, too softly to be heard.\n\nSitting next to Quinn, Daria was obviously doing some deep breathing exercises.\n[i:1minf49t]\'Might be overly shy[/i:1minf49t],’ thought Mrs. Manson, checking a box on Daria’s paper while Quinn rambled on about movies and backseats.\n“Very good, Quinn. Now, Dara, can you make up a story as interesting as your sister?”\n“It’s [i:1minf49t]Daria[/i:1minf49t],” she replied, obviously trying and failing to keep venom from her voice.\n“I’m sorry, Daria. Can you tell me what you see in the picture, [u:1minf49t][b:1minf49t]Dara[/b:1minf49t][/u:1minf49t]?” This time, she emphasized the wrong name to see what kind of reaction she would get from the girl. She wasn’t disappointed.\nDaria grabbed the card from her hand and flung it across the room. Slamming both hands onto the top of the desk, Daria screamed, “How can you be so obtuse as to think that I would get my own name wrong, you churlish, fat-kidneyed bear-whelp!” She swept her hands across the desk, clearing it of all its contents, looked for a moment like she might hit Manson, then stormed out of the room.\nQuinn, unfazed by Daria’s outburst, leaned towards Manson. “She gets like that sometimes. In fact, she’s usually not supposed to take these types of tests. Her doctor doesn’t want amateurs mucking up any progress he makes with her. I hope Daria forget to mention that, or you might be skimming the Penny Saver’s looking for a new job by the end of the week.”\nWith that, Quinn stood and walked out.','cefc054b97c2d14cc2fe315f2519f22c',0,'YQ==','1minf49t',1,1298606482,'',1151,3,0),(463122,31900,6,59,0,'98.214.72.176',1298517466,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Rewarding the classics','[quote=&quot;J-D&quot;:jfnbace5]A while back I had an exchange with a regular email correspondent of mine in which I touched on my low opinion of the quality of the writing in Colleen McCullough\'s [i:jfnbace5]Masters of Rome[/i:jfnbace5] series.

The first was that I\'m incredibly lazy. The second was that I wouldn\'t be eligible for any of these awards so why should I care?  <!-- s:mrgreen: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mrgreen.gif\" alt=\":mrgreen:\" title=\"Mr. Green\" /><!-- s:mrgreen: --> The third is that like Quiverwing said, I did feel some resentment of people who either are no longer in the fandom or don\'t participate that much anymore. And the fourth and most important reason is that I\'m a relative newcomer here and feel so ignorant of the volumes of fanfiction that have been written. Part of that is I did most of my reading off Outpost Daria and while it\'s nearly comprehensive it often fails to give an idea of when a story or series was written. For example, I know that the [i:35dwaqpj]Driven Wild Universe[/i:35dwaqpj] was written while the show was still on the air, but I wasn\'t sure about [i:35dwaqpj]The Look-Alike Series[/i:35dwaqpj]. I like the idea of this thread being a showcase for recommendations of older, often overlooked stories that came before the first Fanworks Awards. As for giving out awards, I think that while it\'s unfortunate that a lot of older works weren\'t recognized by the fans, it also takes attention away from those who are still active in the community and still offering their projects for everyone to enjoy. The past is past, and awarding old stories will just breed resentment among the present writers (who can be some prickly bastards sometimes <!-- s:mrgreen: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mrgreen.gif\" alt=\":mrgreen:\" title=\"Mr. Green\" /><!-- s:mrgreen: --> ).\n\nNow I\'ll get off my soapbox so I can continue to procrastinate.

The door had slammed open, and she saw a green and black blur make a beeline for the stall nearest the sink. After a moment, she heard muttering and what might have been tears.\n“Hello?” No answer. “Talking toilet?”\n“Leave me alone,” a soft bitter voice replied.\nThe door opened again, and a redhead entered. “Is she in there?”\n“If by ‘she’ you mean the crying girl, then yes,” Jane replied, jumping back as the stall door flew open and the girl emerged. She looked enraged for a moment, then closed her eyes and began taking deep breaths.\n“Are you ok?” Jane asked.\n“Just leave her alone, ok? She needs a minute,” the redhead explained. “I’m Quinn, by the way, and that’s Daria. We’re new here.”\n“Jane. Jane Lane.”\nDaria had moved to the sink and was washing her face. She waved over her shoulder, then pulled out a pill bottle and dry-swallowed one.\n“Daria, you know you should take those with water,” Quinn said in a tone that meant she knew she would be ignored.\n“I know,” Daria said, removing her glasses as she began splashing water on her face. “What do you think will happen?”\n“What did you do?” Jane asked.\n“She told off the school’s psychologist,” Quinn said with a sigh.\n“Oh, that’s easy: You’ll be in the after school Self-Esteem class with me. It’s where they put anyone who can’t present the appearance of a well adjusted cookie cutter student.”\n“Don’t worry, Daria, mom will get you out of it. And if it helps, you did really good in there. You didn’t hit anything.” Daria was doing her deep breathing again and didn’t reply. “We’ll wait outside for you,” Quinn said, giving Daria’s hand a gentle squeeze.\n\nIn the hallway, Jane asked, “Is she ok?”\n“Not really,” Quinn said softly. “She’s had anger issues her entire life. Started with our grandfather. He treated her the same way he treated out father. At least the old bastard’s dead now, but the damage is done.”\n“Wow,” Jane whispered as Daria walked out of the bathroom, her face impassive.\n“I wonder when they’ll call mom,” she said, digging in her backpack until she pulled out her schedule. “Until then, I guess I should get to my History class.”\n“With DeMartino? That’s my first class too. I’ll show you the way,” Jane said.\n\n“Class, we have a new STUDENT! Daria Morgendorffer, raise your hand, please.”\nHer hand was barely over her head when he yelled, “WELL! Since you have your hand raised….”\n“Last week we began a unit on Westward expansion. Perhaps you think it would be UNFAIR to be asked a question on your first day?”\n“Excuse me?” Daria asked, her hands visibly shaking.\n“Daria, can you concisely and unemotionally sum up for us the doctrine of Manifest Destiny?”\nDaria took a deep breath, then let it out. “Manifest Destiny was a slogan”\n“Hey, Mr. D! I know this one!” a boy wearing a football uniform yelled.\n“KEVIN! Daria was speaking! Please, continue.”\n“As I was saying, Manifest”\n“But Mr. D, I know this one!”\n“KEVIN!”\n“Mr. DeMartino, maybe you should let him answer it,” Daria said in a forced monotone. “If you don’t, he’ll probably never get the answer out of that bird’s nest he calls a brain. Given that his answer is no doubt an unholy crossbreed of Mr. Peabody’s WayBack Machine and the SchoolHouse Rock songs, if we give him this chance, maybe he’ll someday be smart enough to NOT SHOVE HIS HEAD IN A FRY-A-LATOR!” By the end, Daria was in front of Kevin’s desk, screaming..\n“Whoa, you can’t talk to me that way! I’m the QB!” Kevin looked offended, confused, a little frightened by Daria’s outburst.\n“So what?! You’re just another mumbling, rump-fed foot-licker, and you’ll probably end up dropping out of school and working a dead end job where you hope your next promotion includes the chance of saying, ‘Would you like fries with that?’ once you get Tits McGee there knocked up!” Daria now had her fists balled, obviously restraining herself. Brittany had burst into tears, and aside from her squeaky sobs, there was silence for a long moment. \nAndrea broke the silence by beginning a slow clap, which quickly spread around the room. Appreciative nods came from all around as Daria sat at her desk and surreptitiously took another pill from her bottle. She grabbed her bag and walked up to DeMartino’s desk, clearly expecting the paper he held in his hand.\nHe opened his mouth to speak, but the intercom suddenly came on.\n[i:2qf2jl2l]‘Mr. DeMartino, send Daria Morgendorffer to my office immediately!’[/i:2qf2jl2l]\nHe chuckled and pointed at the door. “Ms. Morgendorffer, you have amused me today, which is no small feat. I look forward to more of your sarcasm, as soon as your sentence is served.”\n\nSitting in Angela Li’s office, Daria remained impassive through a rant about how she besmirched the honor of [i:2qf2jl2l]Laaaaawwndaaaaaaaalle Hiiiiiigh[/i:2qf2jl2l]. When Li finally took a breath, Daria interrupted.\n“What’s my punishment?”\n“Suspension! Maybe even expulsion! Why, I should”\n“Just call my folks then.”\nDaria made sure to slam the door extra-hard on the way out of the office.','1953a06d1240bfabfb52f2157c01d85d',0,'YA==','2qf2jl2l',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463136,31900,6,846,0,'187.131.129.210',1298523587,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Rewarding the classics','[quote=&quot;InvisibleDan&quot;:qkpuskn4]\nThe third is that like Quiverwing said, I did feel some resentment of people who either are no longer in the fandom or don\'t participate that much anymore.[/quote:qkpuskn4]\n\nI don\'t think she said that.

As long as I know what are my objectives, and as long as I can be relatively honest with myself as to why I take particular decisions, I\'m OK. I take gratification from helping others in various situations, and I don\'t think murdering, raping or looting are actions I would be able to live with, so I guess I won\'t be shunned, but I don\'t see any problem with people taking an amoral position. I would encourage it, really.

[...] At 13, she declared herself an atheist. [...] Once, when a teacher asked her to write an essay about the joys of childhood, she wrote a diatribe condemning childhood as a cognitive wasteland—a joyless limbo in which adult rationality had yet to fully develop. [...]  In middle school she found herself uncharacteristically intrigued by another student, a seemingly intelligent girl who was also popular[...] Hoping to solve the mystery, and possibly even make a friend, [she] approached her. “Would you tell me what is the most important thing in life to you?” she asked, showing once again her flair for smooth opening lines. “My mother,” the girl answered. [...] As an adult, she called this exchange “the first most important event in my life socially” and analyzed it as follows: “I had thought she was a serious girl and that she was after serious things, but she was just conventional and ordinary, a mediocrity, and she didn’t mean anything as a person.”[/quote:19flpp23]\n\nWhile I read I couldn\'t help but think of OH.

This thread alone contains about a dozen opinions about why exhaustive reviews are good, but personal attacks masquerading as reviews are bad. Also, my statement that you should feel free to say what you don\'t like came after someone apologizing for saying what they didn\'t like about a story.\n\nAnd most importantly, your example is crap. Capote\'s remarks are just a pithy one-liner, fine in conversation, but asinine in print. So if you\'d like to start reviewing stuff, we\'d love your opinion.

At this point, I will warn our viewers that some people may find this following footage to be distressing.&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](Cut to footage of Helen standing face-to-face with The Fashion Club. Suddenly, Sandi slaps Helen in the face and takes her down to the ground. Sandi starts throwing punches at Helen as Tiffany and Tori stomp on her repeatedly. Soon, they have Helen bleeding heavily from a cut on her forehead. Sandi gets a chair from under the ring as Tiffany and Tori hold up the near-unconscious Helen. Sandi then spits in Helen\'s face before literally wrapping the chair around Helen\'s head. She picks it up and is about to go again, but Quinn and Brittany run down to ringside to stop her.

This is how they react when you relentlessly poke the proverbial wasp\'s nest.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;And let\'s not forget Stacy Rowe. She was on the receivng end of an attack very similar to Helen Barksdale a couple of months ago that nearly cost her a spot in the Lawndale Rumble.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;She wasn\'t medically cleared, but entered the match in disguise and made a huge statement by eliminating Sandi.

They\'re just being fashionably late.&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](After what seems like an eternity, a white limousine pulls up next to the entrance stage. The driver gets out and opens the door, out of which Sandi, Tiffany and Tori emerge. They get up on the entrance stage and strike a pose to enormous jeers from the crowd.

Meanwhile, Tiffany and Tori get the upper hand on Daria and Stacy and they follow their leader down the ramp. As Daria, Jane and Stacy give chase, The Fashion Club take off their robes.

That\'s one reason why they resort to intimidation and sheer weight numbers to exert their will.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Enough of the mumbo-jumbo, professor. Call the match!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Let\'s see...

First as allies, and now as bitter enemies.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;I\'ll tell you something, it was an honour to sit at ringside as Rowe and Griffin had possibly the greatest women\'s cage match I\'ve ever seen a few weeks back. Fantastic match.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Watching it from home, I couldn\'t agree more.&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](Suddenly, Stacy slaps Sandi right in the face. Instead of fighting back, Sandi clutches at her face and starts to throw a temper tantrum. Stacy watches on bemused)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Oh no, not the face! That\'s how she makes her money!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;There\'s no room for vanity in the LFC, Janet.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;What, Sandi can\'t be proud of her beauty? That is such a man thing to say, skinny.&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](Sandi orders Tiffany and Tori to get her entrance robe, giving Daria and Jane a chance to get in the ring. They hold it up for Sandi as she checks herself in a mirror on the back. As she gets back in the ring to return to the match, Stacy slaps her in the face again)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;And there\'s another stiff slap by Rowe!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Sandi must be going apoplectic inside her mind at the thought of her face being hit like that over and over again!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Well, Griffin needs to worry less about her looks and more about winning this match... Rowe has her up for an early attempt at Death Rowe!&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](Stacy lifts Sandi into a fireman\'s carry, before swinging Sandi out and falling into a cutter)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;And there it is! Death Rowe, right on her face!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Rowe isn\'t going for a cover, though... she\'s going to keep dishing out the punishment!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;But here comes Tiffany and Tori to put a stop to that!&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](Tiffany and Tori and take down Stacy, but are quickly set upon by Daria and Jane. Soon, all six are throwing punches at each other again)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;No one has really been able to gain an extended advantage in this match so far, Janet.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;That\'s the way a lot of these multiple people matches go, O\'Neill. Especially when you\'ve got them all fighting each other at once.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;And out goes Griffin! Morgendorffer throws her out of the ring like yesterday\'s newspaper!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;And so is Tiffany! And there goes Tori!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Look! Rowe is going to the top rope!&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](Stacy jumps off and hits Tiffany with a flying splash. Meanwhile, Daria and Sandi are fighting near the commentary table and Jane and Tori are fighting their way up the entrance ramp)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;I hope we\'ve got enough cameras and referees to cover all this action, skinny!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;We have Nick Campbell, Max Tyler and Jesse Moreno all assigned to officiate this Highland Street Fight, so that won\'t be a concern.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;I\'ll tell you what is a concern. And that\'s Sandi and Daria fighting so close to our announce table!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;And Griffin with an elbow to the mid-section of Morgendorffer. She whips her to... no.. over the barricade! This match is in the crowd now!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;I smell lawsuits.&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](Sandi climbs up onto the barricade and jumps off it, hitting an elbow drop on Daria)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Griffin hits a huge elbow drop to the concrete floor! And here comes referee Jesse Moreno to make a count!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;1... 2... and Daria kicks out.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;I\'m not surprised. She\'s got way too much determination to give up this easy.&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](Sandi picks up Daria and they start brawling their way through the crowd, followed by Jesse. Meanwhile, Jane and Tori are still fighting on the entrance ramp)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;This match is going to be hard to keep up now it\'s all split up around the ringside. We\'ve got Jericho and Lane going at it in the entrance aisleway...&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Ooh! Tori whips Jane hard into the barricade! And again!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Jericho is just womanhandling Lane and Lane is cut open.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Yep, she\'s been opened up deep and blood is just pouring out of there.&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](Tori picks up Jane and slams her back-first on the barricade)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Sweet Jesus! If that\'s not a damaged vertebrae right there then I don\'t know what is.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Jericho goes for a cover... 1... 2... Lane kicks out at 2 according to referee Max Tyler!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;She must be in excruciating pain right now. That slam must have taken everything out of her.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Jericho picks up Lane... and whips her right into that motorcycle!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;That headlight just shattered into a million pieces! Jane could be in huge trouble, Tim!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;She could be, but just a bit away, we\'ve got Rowe and Blum-Deckler fighting it out. Rowe has the upper hand right now... but there\'s a hard uppercut by Blum-Deckler that knocks her down!&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](Tiffany goes to the ring and looks underneath it for a weapon. She pulls out a kendo stick)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Ah... now things are going to get hardcore!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Blum-Deckler swings... and gets Rowe right between the eyes! What a shot!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;I think Stacy is bleeding now as well. I can see it coming through her bandanna.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;The Fashion Club are in control of this Highland Street Fight right now. Both Lane and Rowe are bleeding heavily, and Morgendorffer is... where are Griffin and Morgendorffer?&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Can we get the camera following them on these monitors? Ahh... there we go.&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](Daria and Sandi are fighting in the lower concourse of the stadium, where various merchandise booths and food kiosks are located)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Morgendorffer and Griffin are slugging it out in the public area of the Vexxer Stadium. Morgendorffer looks to have the upper hand here as she kicks Griffin hard in the mid-section.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Daria wants to do more than simply hurt Sandi. I think she wants to end her career.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;I wouldn\'t be surprised. It just goes to show never to mess with one\'s mother.&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](Daria picks up Sandi and throws her up on her shoulder. They both approach a popcorn cart)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;She\'s going to throw her right into that popcorn stand! Doesn\'t she know how badly that butter will clog up Sandi\'s pores? She\'ll be exfoliating and cleansing for months!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Morgendorffer about to take her for the ride... Griffin falls behind... AND PUSHES MORGENDORFFER INTO THE CART!!! Broken glass and popcorn is everywhere!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;And she is cut open as well now! This could be over very soon, Tim.&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](Sandi arrogantly plants one foot on Daria and demands that Jesse counts the pin)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;If Griffin wins the match like this, we\'ll never hear the end of it.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Referee Moreno is making the count... 1... 2...&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Morgendorffer kicks out again! Where is she finding the strength to do this?&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Desire for vengeance can really do wonders for adrenalin reserves. Either that or Moreno is still counting slow.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Griffin is beside herself with anger here. She\'s just hitting Morgendorffer with hard fists now.&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](Sandi picks up Daria and drags her out of the concourse and back through the crowd towards the ring. Meanwhile, Tiffany is choking Stacy with the kendo stick)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;As Griffin brings Morgendorffer back to ringside, we see Blum-Deckler choking the life right out of Rowe with that kendo stick!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Tiffany is the submission specialist of The Fashion Club, and she can use that expertise to hurt you in a thousand different ways. When a weapon gets involved, that number can rise exponentially.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Here comes Lane to make the save for Rowe, and just in time too! Rowe was turning blue in the face.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;That didn\'t last long as Tori hits both of them with a clothesline!&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](With both Jane and Stacy down, Tiffany and Tori go to ringside, lift up the apron and grab two tables from underneath the ring)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Tiffany and Tori are bringing out some wood here, skinny!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;I shudder to think about what they could do here to Lane and Rowe.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Wait... there\'s Sandi with Daria coming back over the barricade. I think Tiffany and Tori are waiting for her to do the honours and put Daria through the tables herself.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Oh my... just look at Morgendorffer. She is wearing the proverbial crimson mask right now.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Those tables are set up now. I think the end could be near.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;And Helen Barksdale just has to sit there and watch her daughter get annihilated once and for all.&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](Sandi sets Daria up for a powerbomb through the tables, as Tiffany and Tori watch on and do the hand on heart salute. Sandi looks over to Helen and gives a two-fingered gesture, but Daria uses this split-second to drop down and hit a DDT)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Griffin took her eyes off the ball and Morgendorffer hits her with a career-saving counter! I could not begin to guess where she may have found the awareness to save herself like that.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;It could only be divine intervention. Seriously, she is not human. Daria Morgendorffer is not human, dammit!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;And now Lane and Rowe are back up and getting in the blows! This match is still anyone\'s for the taking!&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](The fight splits off again, with Stacy and Tori fighting their way up the entrance ramp, Jane and Tiffany fighting at ringside and Daria throwing Sandi into the ring)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Rowe now hitting Jericho, the person that replaced her in The Fashion Club, with hard kicks to the ribs and mid-section.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;They\'re nearly at the top of our entrance stage, O\'Neill. This could end up back in the dressing rooms!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Rowe trying to go for a DDT on the metal grating... but Jericho pushes her back into the LED lights!&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](The lights in that area of the stage black out temporarily, as Tori starts hitting Stacy with forearm shots to the head. One shot knocks off Stacy\'s blood-stained bandanna)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Tori and Stacy are getting very close to the edge of our stage here. I\'m nervous for both of them.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Jericho\'s shots to the skull have dazed Rowe heavily. There\'s another hard forearm!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Rowe has the spaghetti legs going! This could get real ugly, real quick.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Oh no... Jericho may be lining up Rowe for the killer blow.&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](Tori steps back and lines up Stacy with her thumbs and index fingers. She charges but Stacy counters with a back body drop that sends Tori flying off the stage and through the glass sunroof of The Fashion Club\'s limo. The crowd begins to chant &quot;HOLY SHIT&quot;)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Oh dear God in heaven! Jericho just shattered the roof of that limo, thanks to Stacy Rowe! We need the EMTs out here now, this is getting beyond dangerous.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;I hope Stacy is proud of herself. She may have just ended a promising young career with these sadistic actions!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;It was either do that or she goes through herself! What was she supposed to do?&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;You say it your way, I\'ll say it mine.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;We have our medical team, led by Toni Morris and Leon Gibson, on standby with ambulances and other medical facilities, but this match continues in the meantime. Lane and Blum-Deckler are just beating the holy Hades out of each other right now!&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](Jane picks up Tiffany and drops her chest-first on the barricade. While Tiffany is down, Jane takes the opportunity to look under the ring for some weapons to use)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Now Jane is starting to look for some plunder of her own.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Let\'s see what she pulls out... there\'s a trash can... and a steel chair!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Looks like Jane is about to create another work of art.&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](Jane picks up the steel chair, but get drop kicked in the knee by Tiffany)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Lane takes too long and gets caught by Blum-Deckler.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Now Tiffany is picking up the chair! She\'ll surely have cruel intentions for Jane here.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Lane is on all fours and in a world of trouble... Wow! Rowe jumps off of Lane\'s back and kicks that chair right in Blum-Deckler\'s face!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Amazing creativity by Stacy! Using her own partner to strike what could be a match-winning kick!&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](As Stacy helps Jane to her feet, Daria and Sandi are slugging it out in the ring)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Hold on... look at Sandi and Daria go! This is the battle we should be watching here!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Each punch that Morgendorffer hits here carries a lifetime\'s worth of hatred and fury... Griffin rakes the eyes!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;One of Daria\'s weak spots is her eyes, Tim. For as long as I\'ve known her, she\'s had to wear contact lenses in the ring. And she can\'t stand them!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Now Griffin is removing the turnbuckle padding, exposing that steel ring.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Wow... if Daria gets slammed into that, it could only mean bad things for her.&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](Sandi picks up Daria and tries to slam her head into the exposed turnbuckle. Daria puts her foot up to block, then slams Sandi into it)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Griffin goes head-first into the steel that she exposed herself!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;I think she\'s bleeding too now! There\'s drops of blood on the canvas but that could be Daria\'s.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;No that\'s definitely Griffin\'s.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Well, I guess if she wasn\'t making a trip to the plastic surgeon\'s office before, she definitely is now.&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](On the outside, Stacy and Jane lift up the semi-conscious Tiffany and place the trash can over her head. Jane picks up the chair and Stacy picks up the kendo stick, before they start swinging)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;There\'s a shot from Lane with the chair! There\'s another from Rowe with the kendo stick! Blum-Deckler is helpless here!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;She\'s getting beaten around like a damn piñata! That cannot be good for her looks.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;You\'re not wrong... back and forth, shot after shot, Blum-Deckler is being physically dissected!&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](Jane and Stacy stop suddenly and motion for Helen to come over to them)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Wait... are they inviting Helen into the ring?&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;This crowd is molten, Janet! This will be a moment to savour for all time if she hops the rail!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;This match is no DQ! Technically, the whole roster could be out here if they wanted to be!&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](After some hesitation, Helen hops the barricade to an enormous cheer. Jane hands her the chair, as a sinister smile appears on Helen\'s face. She winds up and knocks down Tiffany with a chair shot so hard, the seat from it breaks off)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;JUSTICE!!! Helen Barksdale with what is probably the most satisfying chair shot of her life!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Damn! That shot was so loud, it was heard in seven different states!&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](The crowd erupts, before breaking into a huge &quot;HELEN&quot; chant. Stacy jumps up and hits a quick senton on Tiffany\'s trash can-covered head, crushing it)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;I think we may have seen the last of Tiffany for tonight, O\'Neill.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Wait... Lane is going to put the exclamation point on Blum-Deckler!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;At least take the trash can off her head before you do it!&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](Jane hoists Tiffany over her shoulders, grabs her arms around her waist and drops to her knees, hitting Tiffany with an inverted piledriver)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Disasterpiece on the outside! Blum-Deckler\'s neck could very well be broken!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Wasn\'t that move banned? I\'m sure it was.&quot; \n\n[i:10309ghv](As Tiffany starts to twitch and spasm, Jane and Stacy get into the ring, while Helen stays on the outside with Max and Nick. The crowd reaches fever pitch as they, along with Daria, surround Sandi)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;The Fashion Club, one by one, have been eliminated by this coalition between The Freakin\' Friends and Stacy Rowe. And now, only Sandi Griffin, the leader of the group, remains. There comes a time where one must pay for their sins. For Griffin, she now faces her judgment day.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;I think they\'ve made their point already. Just pin her and get this bloodbath over with.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Looking at their eyes, I don\'t think they\'re finished with her at all. Not by a long shot.&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](Sandi throws a punch at Stacy, but is quickly set upon by Daria and Jane. Soon they, along with Stacy, are beating down Sandi with stomps and kicks)[/i:10309ghv]\n\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Months... years even, of harassment and bullying and intimidation is being paid back in full by these three, and the crowd can\'t get enough!&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]Barch:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;Just get this over with, please. I don\'t think I can watch this anymore.&quot;\n[b:10309ghv]O\'Neill:[/b:10309ghv] &quot;They\'ve got Griffin back on her feet... and she is whipped hard to the turnbuckle!&quot;\n\n[i:10309ghv](Sandi collapses to the mat with fatigue. Jane and Stacy pick her up and seat her on the top rope.

All too many women, all over the world have been violated and their attackers allowed to walk by the law for a number of reasons - and there\'s reason enough to believe that they may have committed the crimes.

I was with Michael McManus who helped me through the ordeal of seeing a beloved old pal so reduced by illness.\n\nOf all the characters in Doctor Who there is no doubt that he was the most loved by the fans for his wonderful portrayal of the rather pompous Brigadier.  &quot;Five rounds rapid&quot; was the line we all loved, always addressed to Sergeant Benton.  Nick\'s close friends simply adored him.  There was a certain innocence in his personality that was utterly endearing.  He was very easy to tease, and I did my share, which made him shake his head in disbelief when he realised he had been had.\n\nHe was a wonderful companion and his friends would call each other or e-mail to relate the latest little stories of a night out with the Brig. He had a marvellous resonant voice which he used brilliantly when it was his turn to spin a yarn. And his background was fascinating too: born in Alexandria, Egypt, he was brought up speaking French and Arabic. Later he perfected English and after a few drinks he would speak in Latin tags to great comic effect.\n\nWe shall miss him terribly.\n\n[/quote:nkklxt9f]','d4189e12b5e46631ab3bc9a95d0328b1',0,'kA==','nkklxt9f',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463224,31892,10,305,0,'200.114.121.240',1298570782,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Bro macros!','[quote=&quot;Chris Tucker&quot;:26y98c5a][img:26y98c5a]https&#58;//img&#46;skitch&#46;com/20110224-7prmk79famjhu4wsw2qw97wuc&#46;jpg[/img:26y98c5a]\n\nStacy donated her eyes and mouth.[/quote:26y98c5a]\nI must say, those eyes look good on her.','ab1abf4821d6175ccf19feb4e9b3ce3c',0,'iA==','26y98c5a',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463225,31892,10,1108,0,'86.150.35.58',1298570812,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Bro macros!','[quote=&quot;Jim North&quot;:b2171sr2][img:b2171sr2]http&#58;//img&#46;photobucket&#46;com/albums/v608/esn1g/Daria/daria_yarly01&#46;jpg[/img:b2171sr2][/quote:b2171sr2]\n\n <!-- s:lol: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif\" alt=\":lol:\" title=\"Laughing\" /><!-- s:lol: -->','b7c50494e45aad0f2e53b7da3e886971',0,'iA==','b2171sr2',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463226,32026,4,846,0,'148.210.193.83',1298570901,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Scott Walker: Koch\'s whore','[quote=&quot;MJPollard&quot;:2q2xbzgw]\n[quote=&quot;Liz Ruiz&quot;:2q2xbzgw]How is that democracy?[/quote:2q2xbzgw]\nIt isn\'t.

I am, too, but for a very different reason.&quot;\n\n&quot;I would say that Daria needs to start writing her own books, but she\'s doing that already.&quot;\n\n&quot;Maybe she\'ll sell one someday.  Who knows, someday, you might sell a dress you made.&quot;\n\nQuinn said, &quot;No, Mom.  I want to sell an entire line of dresses.&quot;\n\n&quot;It\'s always good to have a goal.&quot;\n\n\n\n\nHelen sat at the table, making violent doodles on a note pad while she talked on the phone.  &quot;Little Erin is getting married.  I can\'t believe it.  She seems so young.&quot;\n\nDaria backed out of the kitchen and into the hallway.\n\nHelen listened for a moment.  &quot;Twenty-one?  It seems like just yesterday that she was thirteen.  Where does the time go?&quot;\n\nDaria cracked Quinn\'s door open and saw her sister at the sewing table.  &quot;Barksdale alert level two.&quot;\n\nHelen said, &quot;Uh-huh.  Really?  Windsor Hills resort.  I\'m sure it will be lovely.&quot;\n\nQuinn said, &quot;God, what now?&quot;\n\nDaria said, &quot;You might have to put that thing to use for both of us.  Erin\'s getting married.&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m sorry, Rita,&quot; Helen said.  &quot;But we just can\'t get away for that long.  It\'s two days hard driving each way.  Sure, we can fly, if Mother is willing to pay for the tickets.  Because I\'m a single mother of two still paying off students loans from law school while covering all the costs of my failed marriage.  Come on, Rita.  Compared to what she\'s paying for this wedding, three round trip tickets will be pocket change.&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh, hmm.  You know, I think I\'ll like making you look good,&quot; Quinn said.\n\nEnraged, Helen screamed, &quot;Well screw you, Rita!  And mother!  And the damn horse you two rode in on!&quot;  She almost threw the phone across the room, catching herself at the last minute and dropping it onto the cradle.\n\nDaria looked back at the kitchen.  &quot;Or not.&quot;\n\n&quot;That didn\'t sound good.&quot;\n\nHelen walked down the hallway to them.  &quot;I\'m sure you couldn\'t help but hear.  I don\'t think we will be hearing from my family any time soon.&quot;\n\n&quot;So, we\'re not going to the wedding?&quot; Quinn asked to confirm.\n\n&quot;If Mother had her way right now, we wouldn\'t be allowed in the same state.&quot;\n\n\n\n\nDaria watched the small-framed boy being led away by the police and slowly shook her head.  &quot;Who\'s the bigger idiot?  The idiots or the idiot that follows them?&quot;\n\n&quot;You want us to follow you, Daria?&quot; Butt-head said.\n\n&quot;He-he,&quot; Beavis said.  &quot;That way, we can watch her ass.&quot;\n\nDaria turned.  &quot;I don\'t have any proof, but I\'m willing to bet that you\'re the real reason that Stewart is being arrested.&quot;\n\n&quot;Stewart\'s being arrested?&quot; Butt-head said.\n\nBeavis said, &quot;That\'s cool.&quot;\n\n&quot;Considering how he\'s probably going to be treated in jail, not really,&quot; Daria said.\n\nButt-head saw another police officer carrying an evidence bag holding a revolver.  &quot;That\'s Todd\'s gun.  He\'s going to kick Stewart\'s ass.&quot;\n\n&quot;Like the way he kicked our ass over losing that car,&quot; Beavis said.\n\nDaria shook her head and walked away.  &quot;When the hell am I going to get out of here?&quot;\n\n\n\n\n&quot;Mom?&quot; Daria said when she entered the house.\n\nSeated on the sofa, Helen lifted her head and held up a letter.  &quot;I\'m so sorry, sweetie, another rejection.

It just made the other parts more glaring – like how all those people weren’t ignoring her the same way they normally did, they were ‘ignoring’ in the way you would if you wanted to avoid attention. She knew she unnerved a lot of people, but this was like Jodie: fear.\n\n[i:343mgguo]Why?[/i:343mgguo]\n\nThe other big issue was [i:343mgguo]how[/i:343mgguo]. All she’d done was [i:343mgguo]sleep[/i:343mgguo], she hadn’t done anything out of the ordinary and seen nothing strange before she went to bed. She could buy ending up in another reality by accident if she’d [i:343mgguo]done[/i:343mgguo] something. Or maybe it was deliberate on someone’s part, but what possible benefit would her arrival give to people who could break through reality itself?\n\nDaria’s only option was to stay the course at Lawndale High: the deviations were leaving her scared and nauseated and the sense of [i:343mgguo]helplessness[/i:343mgguo] made her want to scream, but it wouldn’t help to run around trying to find a source of answers from nowhere. If this was an accident, the cause would be in Lawndale, and if it was deliberate, whoever did it might show up here. Either way, she needed to stay put and see what happened.\n\n And try to stay sane.\n\n \n\n---\n\n \n\nWhen she reached her locker, Jane was already waiting for her. Jane looked mostly the same, but a few differences glared: her hair was messier, her manner less confident. But Daria felt relieved despite that, because Jane [i:343mgguo]was[/i:343mgguo] waiting for her. [i:343mgguo]That[/i:343mgguo] wasn’t different.\n\n (She hadn’t dared ask if Jane would be a friend or not in this reality)\n\n “Jane, I...” [i:343mgguo]Oh yes, this is really a conversation to have in public, isn’t it?[/i:343mgguo] “...never mind. Weird day. I’ll tell you later.”\n\n “Um, okay,” said Jane softly, in that low voice that she’d had when Daria first met her, when she’d still been listless. (Hurm) \n\n “Anything exciting happening in the world of the Lanes?”\n\n “Uh...” Jane looked worried, blinked a few times. “No. Um. Pretty much the same.”\n\n “Trent awake yet?”\n\n Her friend looked down, biting her lip. “No.”\n\nThere was something in that, something dark and unspoken about this world’s Trent and Jane, something that Daria refused to focus on – later. She’d deal with that later. She didn’t [i:343mgguo]want[/i:343mgguo] to know what had garnered that reaction.\n\n “Uh... History first period, right?”\n\n“Yes?” said Jane, as if it had been a trick question.\n\n “Sorry, I’m still half-asleep. And there was a thing with Brittany earlier...”\n\n “Another thing involving Quinn?” she asked, confirming that Jane both knew about it and, based on her hesitant reaction, wasn’t approving. Daria had hoped for the latter.\n\n “You’ll be glad to know I decided not to go with it.”\n\n “N-Not really, anything you decide is fine!”\n\n Daria gave her a confused look. “Um, yeah, if only the nations of the Earth agreed.”\n\n Jane was starting to worry her.\n\n \n\n---\n\n \n\nIt took her a while to figure out what was unnerving her about History. DeMartino seemed exactly the same, ranting and snarling and bulging his eyes, and the class layout was the same and most of the students were the same (but she didn’t see Andrea – she could just be absent that day, but Daria doubted it). But there was [i:343mgguo]something.[/i:343mgguo]\n\n “...ONE of you PROcessed SLABS of MEAT, exPLAIN the INITIAL problems FAced by the Soviet UNION during the INVASION! [b:343mgguo]KEVIN![/b:343mgguo]”\n\n She could hear a few sighs of relief when Kevin’s name was said.\n\n “Uhhhhhh... They were Commies?”\n\n “I’m ALMOST proud that you MANaged to retain ONE fact about ANYthing, but NO, Kevin, WRONG ANSWER! As USUAL! Anyone ELSE want to TRY their LUCK?!”\n\nStudents were shrinking in on themselves. And then it hit Daria – fear and loathing. A bit of fear was common in History, but not like this – and DeMartino sounded [i:343mgguo]gleeful[/i:343mgguo] when he tore into Kevin. It was the same situation in her reality, a lot of the same words... but that tone, the little differences. \n\nNo damn wonder there was fear and loathing of DeMartino in [i:343mgguo]this[/i:343mgguo] reality. \n\n[i:343mgguo]WHY are you different? What can I learn from this? Clearly he has the same frustrations, but why is it like this here and different at home? Or should I be asking why it’s NOT like this at home?[/i:343mgguo]\n\n “DARIA! Help me OUT here!”\n\n She paused for a few seconds to remind herself what the question actually was. “Stalin believed that Germany was not going to invade, and had refused to acknowledge any reports that indicated otherwise. When the invasion actually happened, Stalin couldn’t believe it and initially gave no orders for Red Army units to actually take defensive action.”\n\n [i:343mgguo]God I hope that’s right in this world too.[/i:343mgguo]\n\n “DisaPPOINTingly free of SARCASM, but RIGHT! Glad to know I can rely on ONE student out of HUNDREDS!!”\n\n Daria scanned the room and saw nobody had reacted. DeMartino had just used her to [i:343mgguo]insult[/i:343mgguo] everyone else, and nobody was reacting-\n\n [i:343mgguo]Like you’d expect if this was a regular thing. God damn it.[/i:343mgguo]\n\n \n\n---\n\n \n\nArt was next. Ms Defoe was... well, she’d been a bit of a hippie, but here the “bit of” was dropped. She had the home-made flowery dresses and the long hair and the peace badge and everything. \n\nAnd the [i:343mgguo]voice.[/i:343mgguo]\n\n“Remember, the bowl of fruit is just, like, the [i:343mgguo]focal point[/i:343mgguo], dudes and dudettes: just use that as a guideline, man, and then go with whatever you inner groove tells you...” All said in a neutral, spaced-out hum.\n\nAnd Daria could see Ms Defoe talking to Jane, but not in the same way she was used to, not as if Jane was a favourite pupil. She looked like she was impressed with Jane, but nothing more than that. But [i:343mgguo]Jane[/i:343mgguo] looked far happier about it than she’d ever looked in Daria’s world, like she was desperate for the praise. And that didn’t make sense to Daria because Jane’s painting – which had nothing to do with a bowl of fruit – looked just as good as ‘normal’ Jane’s.\n\nWas there a better student in this world? That would explain – \n\n [i:343mgguo]No it wouldn’t. Jane would still get more attention. This is more like...[/i:343mgguo]\n\nDaria swiped her brush against the canvas again, idly. She’d covered half of it with meaningless scribbles.\n\n[i:343mgguo]It’s like Jane isn’t[/i:343mgguo] important.[i:343mgguo] She’s just there to... I don’t know, fill up space. But that doesn’t – can’t – be right, that’s not how things work.[/i:343mgguo]\n\nShe was still thinking about this when the bell rang and the class poured out for the morning break. As a result, Daria was the last out – well, no, Jane was waiting for her – and as she left, she saw Quinn and Stacy entering the classroom.\n\nAnd heard Defoe say “Stacy!”, in pleased tones; Daria glanced back and saw the teacher’s whole manner was different, happiness and pride shining out. Daria didn’t know how good Stacy was at art, she could be quite good, but that reaction was the same reaction her Defoe had [i:343mgguo]over Jane[/i:343mgguo].\n\nQuinn was heading out – she must’ve just walked with Stacy for sociable reasons. Daria watched her go and then started to follow, Jane in tow. She wanted to find out more, and this seemed like a good way to find out [i:343mgguo]some[/i:343mgguo] things at least.\n\n“Hey, Quinn!” It was Mack, smiling. “I am that merry wandered of the might!”\n\nQuinn looked confused. “I thought Puck was like Robin, not Batman.”\n\n“Uhhhh... Never mind. Oh, have you heard about Upch-“\n\n“[i:343mgguo]Yes.[/i:343mgguo] At least he’s not Demetrius-“ Quinn stopped, unable to convoy the full horror of such a thing, and settled for “EWWWWWW! Not that I’m too happy with Corey getting it, he’s nice and all, but [i:343mgguo]gawd[/i:343mgguo] his idea of a date is [i:343mgguo]Burger World[/i:343mgguo], he’s just not romantic lead material.”\n\n“Good thing I tried for Puck and not Demetrius then.”\n\n“Oh yeah! Definately!”\n\n“Yup.”\n\nThe unspoken attraction was screaming at the top of its lungs at everyone.\n\n[i:343mgguo]How in the HELL did – How does that WORK?! Why is Mack – he doesn’t seem any different, so is it Quinn? Because she seems... well, more bearable than normal, but I still don’t see this working with Mack, and why are they both nervous and saying nothing and – oh no.[/i:343mgguo]\n\n“Jane? Isn’t Mack with Jodie?”\n\n“Yeah...” Jane seemed just as confused as Daria. “I didn’t know that was going on.” She suddenly looked nervous. “Really, I’d have said if I did!”\n\n“Mack’s... Mack’s considered a genuinely nice and smart guy, right?”\n\n“Um...” Now she looked far more confused – and worried. “Yeah.”\n\n“And Jodie’s really busy all the time?”\n\n“I-I’m sure it’s innocent-“\n\nDaria looked as Mack and Quinn separated, and it struck her that they reminded her of how [i:343mgguo]she’d[/i:343mgguo] felt during her crush on Trent. They didn’t seem like people actually having an affair, even though the attraction was obvious. The question was, why didn’t Mack just break up with Jodie if he had feelings for-\n\nOr should the question be why [i:343mgguo]didn’t[/i:343mgguo] he break up with Jodie – or have this same problem of crushing on another girl – in her reality? \n\n [i:343mgguo]And why QUINN?[/i:343mgguo]','54bdbba963e7b740f7c45f22b5c69d68',0,'YA==','343mgguo',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463255,31992,6,276,0,'198.180.240.201',1298573654,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Pie, Pie, My Darling','More good laughs.  <!-- s:lol: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif\" alt=\":lol:\" title=\"Laughing\" /><!-- s:lol: -->','f9b82008cf7eced0175c5d407b476d7d',0,'','39mjrnrr',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463256,32031,6,1108,0,'86.150.35.58',1298573773,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Mad Dog\'s Legacy Chapter 1: First Impressions (Part 2)','Well [i:3rb0t4eh]that[/i:3rb0t4eh] wasn\'t where I thought this fic was going at [i:3rb0t4eh]all[/i:3rb0t4eh].  <!-- s:shock: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif\" alt=\":shock:\" title=\"Shocked\" /><!-- s:shock: --> Kudos to you, I\'m intrigued.','ef0032eb88fb6c3e00d5534878febf31',0,'IA==','3rb0t4eh',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463257,31992,6,846,0,'148.210.193.83',1298573863,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Pie, Pie, My Darling','[quote=&quot;Jim North&quot;:ib3hdikw][quote=&quot;Liz Ruiz&quot;:ib3hdikw]&quot;Fat Daria Vignettes&quot;[/quote:ib3hdikw]\nShouldn\'t that be &quot;Vinaigrettes&quot;?

The fact that other people are gunning for him for other things is not supposed to be relevant (even though we all know it will be) - but as long as the people who are actually involved are following the rules and not trying to try him for any other crimes but the ones he\'s accused of, can we simply focus on that? \n\n[b:tarxaw01]Everyone[/b:tarxaw01] is watching the actions of the U.S. Government on this one.

Starting off a reply with a comment like this pretty much diminishes the rest of your impassioned plea, because you now look like you\'re doing so more to slam QW (and justify your dislike of Assange) than to truly stick up for the cause of these alleged rape victims. I\'m pretty sure that wasn\'t your intent, but that\'s how it\'s coming across.\n\n(And for the record, I\'m also of the opinion that this is more of a political railroading of Assange than an actual quest for justice. These rape allegations are, in my opinion, being used as a &quot;legitimate&quot; means to deal with the man so that the US doesn\'t come across as a vindictive bully. If he wasn\'t such a public figure, I truly doubt that this much of a fuss would have been made, nor would Sweden have worked so vigorously to have him extradited over allegations that were dropped by the complainants. The sad reality is that most authorities would consider there to be more pressing crimes on which to spend their time and money, and you know it; the fact that they\'re pulling out all the stops for Assange speaks volumes that are being ignored only by those who dislike the man and what he\'s done.)[/quote:3mocxldl]\n\n\n1.

[...] As an adult, she called this exchange “the first most important event in my life socially” and analyzed it as follows: “I had thought she was a serious girl and that she was after serious things, but she was just conventional and ordinary, a mediocrity, and she didn’t mean anything as a person.”[/quote:74ckgeps]\n\nWhile I read I couldn\'t help but think of OH.

Yes, she is my daughter. Suspended?! What for? A psychological test? Didn’t she show you the note from her doctor? Then why did she take the test in the first place?! I don’t care what she did, your psychologist probably antagonized her after you made her take the damn test! What? A self-esteem class? I’ll talk to her doctor, but I doubt that he’ll allow it. No, I don’t want your opinion! Good-bye!”\nShe pressed the off button as hard as she could, then turned to Daria. “Daria, they made you take a psychological test today?”\n“I showed her the paper, but she wouldn’t listen to me,” Daria said, taking a deep breath.\n“Well, don’t worry. You say the word and I’ll sue that witch so fast”\n“Maybe it would do me some good,” Daria said softly.\n“What’s that kiddo?” Jake asked, putting down his paper.\n“Maybe they can help me. Doctor Samuels said that low self-esteem was part of why I lash out all the time. I don’t know, maybe it’ll help.”\n“Well, we can ask Doctor Samuels and see what he says, but I’ll make the call tomorrow, ok? It’s pretty late.”\n“And she tells me you’ve been suspended already,” Helen added.\n“Huh. She told me expelled. Split the dif and call it exiled?” Daria asked, a trace of a smile on her lips.\n“Daria,” Helen said with a faint grin. “If you want, I’m sure I can make a case of this and get you back into school.”\n“No, don’t sue. Maybe Ms. Li will be willing to accept a pound or two of flesh. Besides,” Daria swallowed, glancing at Quinn, “If I’m in this class after school, it’ll give Quinn more time to make friends and have a life.”\n\nHelen called Ms. Li back and informed her that Daria wished to come back to school and was willing to apologize for losing her temper, and an agreement was quickly reached.\n“Daria,” Helen said, covering the mouthpiece, “she says that if you want to come back, you have to apologize to Mrs. Manson, attend the Self-Esteem class, and join either a club or team. Oh, and she says you need to lay off the Shakespearean insults. What do you say?”\nDaria hesitated, then nodded.\n“Ms. Li, she agrees. I’ll come in with her tomorrow to discuss with you anything that you need to know, since apparently a signed note from a doctor isn’t enough to bring proper attention to the situation. Fine, we’ll see you at 7.”\n\nThe next passed much easier than the first, but by the time Self-Esteem class came around, Daria was daydreaming of mass violence against the school.\nShe walked into the classroom and saw the girl from the bathroom. The girl waved and indicated the seat in front of her with a smile. Daria sat, trying to focus on the class, but raised her hand after a few minutes.\n“Excuse me, what does ‘Realizing your Actuality’ mean?”\n“I’m sorry. Question and answer time is later,” Mr. O’Neill said.\n“But if I don’t understand the term, how am I supposed to get anything out of this class?” Daria asked.\n“Look, after this part, there’s a movie!”\n“Who cares? I’m here to try and better myself, but you don’t even know what you’re talking about.”\n“Now, now,” O’Neill said placatingly, but Daria was on a roll now.\n“You’re just hoping that we’ll sit quietly and watch your movies but what’s the point? We won’t learn anything and you’ll just get to tell yourself that you’re making a difference in the lives of your students when all we get out of this is confusion and probably a good nap.”\nShe cut off her tirade as Mr. O’Neill ran from the room, sobbing. “Damn. I think I overdid it.” Looking around, she got approving nods from the class and dry-swallowed another pill.\nAfter a few minutes, Mr. O’Neill returned and flushed bright red as Daria stood and apologized, making a vague reference to being on her period.\nHe replied with a longwinded speech about how it’s important to air your feelings and that sometimes it’s better to get things off your chest and he was proud of Daria for speaking her mind. By the time he came close to having a point, the class was over.\nDaria ran into Jane in the hallway as she was leaving.\n“Wow, most days it takes Mr. O’Neill at least twenty minutes to start crying. I’m impressed,” Jane said with a grin.\n“Well, I still need to find some activity to join as part of my plea deal. Is there a ‘Sit-on-your-ass club’ here?”\n“Not anymore. They lost funding when the football team needed more socks,” Jane replied. Daria smirked, and Jane said, “You really think I’m kidding, don’t you? The football is the end-all, be-all in this school.”\n“I need to find something, though.” They stopped by the office and picked up a listing of all the clubs that were active in the school. Daria read it with increasing skepticism on the way home.\n“Debate Team? Glee Club? Fraternal Brotherhood of Future Marketing and Promotion Executives? There’s got to be something here I can do,” Daria mumbled as they walked.\n“I’d love to keep chatting, but I need to get home and see if Trent managed to wake up yet. I’ll see you tomorrow.”\nDaria waved and continued walking, still reading the pamphlet. After a moment, she paused and looked back over her shoulder, smiling softly.\n\nAt dinner that night, she was still reading it, having crossed out several of the options on the list.\n“What’s that, Daria?” Helen asked as she blew on her slice of lasagna. Looking at it, she read the paper upside down and smiled. “I’m glad you’re trying to find a club to join.”\n“There aren’t many that sound like good candidates, though,” said Daria, scanning the remaining choices. “So far, I’ve eliminated all but the Chess Club, the Flute Appreciation Club, the Fashion Club, and the Anatomy Club.”\n“Do any of those particularly stand out to you?”\n“The Chess Club is at least predictable: I’ll be the only girl there, and if I wear a low cut shirt I’ll win all the way through Regionals. The Anatomy Club sounds interesting, but I doubt they’ll have any real cadavers. The Flute Appreciation club sounds interesting, even though Dad ran mine over, but….wait, I just realized what the club is probably [i:20g3vab3]really[/i:20g3vab3] about. Ew. As for this Fashion Club….well, it’s a better idea than being a cheerleader, and probably requires the least effort,” Daria said, pointing to each club in the pamphlet.\n“I won’t lie, Daria, you could use a bit more influence in your clothing choices,” Helen said, thinking of Daria’s distressingly small wardrobe.\n“I won’t disagree,” Daria said, thinking.\nSuddenly, the doorbell rang and Helen went to answer it. She returned a moment later. “I hate salesmen. They always come at dinnertime.” The doorbell rang again, and was followed by a shout.\n“Daria?! Are you home?”\n“I think that’s a girl from school,” Daria said, going to the door. Jane was standing outside, clutching a notebook.\n“Hey, Daria. Um…here,” Jane said, thrusting the notebook into Daria’s hands. “It’s my notes from the self-esteem class. I’m not going to be at school anymore, so”\n“Wait, what? Why not?”\n“My parents didn’t bother to pay the mortgage for a few months, so we got foreclosed today. My brother and I have to find a place to live.”\n“What about your parents?”\n“What about them? My mom is in Sicily and last I heard from Dad he was either in Iraq or Iran. There was some blood on the letter, so the words smeared a bit.”\nDaria thought for a moment, then ran to the kitchen. “Mom, can Jane stay with us for a while?”\n“How long? And who’s Jane?”\n“She’s a friend of mine from school. Her parents are out of town and their house is being repossessed.

Do you have any family in the area?”\n“Just my brother, but he lives with me.”\nHelen sighed. [i:20g3vab3]Damned vestigial sense of right and wrong[/i:20g3vab3]. “Jane, you may stay with us until your parents come home, if you want. If your brother wants to stay here, he’ll need to speak with me first.”\nA look of wonder crossed Jane’s face. “What are you saying?” she whispered, afraid to believe it.\n“Go home, and pack a bag. You can stay with us instead of scrounging for a place. As for your brother, I’ll need to have a talk with him before I decide.”\nJane stared, mouth open for a minute, then impulsively hugged Helen tightly and ran off towards Casa Lane.\n“Daria, why would you ask something like that about a girl I’ve never met?

Just some shirts, a pair of jeans, a few dark skirts, boots, socks, a sweater, and an olive green jacket. I brought a few old VHS tapes, a few CDs, and about fifty of my favorite books. I packed a small box of my favorite stationary. I took a few old videogames I no longer played and an old desktop computer. Everything else I threw away.\n\n	All of my furniture had been packed up and brought into the moving vans. I had put the remainder of what I wanted to take with me into a single dusty cardboard box and looked around my bare room with a sort of hesitation. Bright outlines remained where my furniture once sat. Walls cast faint shadows where posters once hung. The floor space seemed wider now that my bed frame was gone. My closet, although never truly filled, was entirely barren of clothing and content. Everything seemed just right.\n\n	I didn\'t feel bad about moving. I had no opinion of it. No emotion, no memories. None that I really wanted to take with me, anyways.\n\n	They said it was a small town called Lawndale we were going to. A change of pace from the recent months of chaos here in Highland, Texas. The lawsuit over the tainted drinking water had been settled out of court, and we were finally moving away with a hefty sum in our pockets. I should have been grateful that my own mother was a lawyer so willing and knowledgeable to represent an entire neighborhood in a class-action lawsuit, yet I still resented her. It was her fault we won. It was her fault we would be leaving this wretched place. \n\n	I took one last look at my room, dragging along the floor my large cardboard box of possessions. These had been my friends for the past fifteen years. The only people I could talk to and trust. I didn\'t feel like I could really trust anyone anymore. Not after how everyone else treated me all those years.\n\n	High school had been the first time I was truly happy, if you could call being completely ignored by the student body \'happy\'. In Highland elementary schools I was the egghead, ginger kid, freckle face and dweeb. In Middle school I was aspie, book nerd, retard, and creepy girl. \n\n	I closed my bedroom door for the last time. I looked across the hall towards my sisters bedroom. It\'s size and color was similar to mine, but with an additional painted pink stripe that snaked its way around her barren room. Quinn liked pink. Pink clothing, pink bed sheets, pink fuzzy diary... Her possessions were numerous compared to my one box of mostly books.\n\n	Walking through my small Highland house, I reminisced on sad memories. Of screaming and fighting children. Of spending hours in my own bedroom reading to myself. Of a dad on the verge of a heart attack and a mom too busy to leave any sort of lasting impression on my childhood.\n\n	I dragged my small carton of possessions out through the garage and up the moving truck ramp. I pushed it into the far corner and walked back into the house. My mom[size=85:jbtc4ryx]*[/size:jbtc4ryx] saw me walking back in.\n\n	&quot;You have everything honey?&quot;\n\n	&quot;Yeah.&quot;\n\n	&quot;You glad to finally move?&quot;\n\n	&quot;I don\'t care.&quot;\n\n	&quot;Daria, I know its been difficult for you these past few months. The lawsuit, high school, your arrest...&quot;\n\n	&quot;...The plumbing problems, the contaminated drinking water, the lack of any good mega malls for Quinn to shop at...&quot;\n\n	Helen sighed. &quot;Daria, I know this is all hard for you. I\'m sorry this is not how you wanted things to turn out.&quot;\n\n	&quot;I don\'t want to talk about it right now.&quot;\n\n	And I walked away. I was tired, but not from moving. It simply hurt to think anymore. Memories so twisted and menial seemed vapid and busy when suddenly compared to these bland, naked surroundings.\n\n	I walked into the bathroom and sat down on the toilet lid. No emotions, no sentiments, but strong memories and painful thoughts racked my brain. It would be harder for Quinn to move than it would be for me; she had friends to say goodbye to, and I didn\'t. Everyone had made fun of me- insulted me, called me names all through my life. And my revenge on those ignorant, awful peers of mine was to simply move out of the way. \n\n	[i:jbtc4ryx]Let them grow like the rotten fungus they are. Let them consume and copulate in their own little fetid world of hate and ignorance and die a sick, violent death at the expense of no one but themselves. Let them thrive in their own s***, and let them drown in it too.[/i:jbtc4ryx]\n\n	They have gun laws for a reason, I guess.\n\n	[i:jbtc4ryx]They do. But who are they for- me or them?[/i:jbtc4ryx]\n\n	I sighed deeply. This wasn\'t healthy for me. If I wrote an autobiography, all the chapters would be the same. My life just keeps on repeating this same shit over and over again. I have always felt I was different- and I was. I saw the deeper meanings the teachers were trying to point out in books. I saw the practicality and the magic in literature. I liked to read and watch movies like anyone else.\n\n       	But I couldn\'t help but think the most insubstantial and wasteful souls around me were the ones that thought the real world actually operated on the principles of makeup, boyfriends, sex, drugs, MTV or actual human interaction.\n\n	I took a deep breath. Maybe Lawndale would be the change of pace I needed. Maybe other kids would start to respect me. Maybe I would make a friend.\n\n	Chances are they wouldn\'t, but I knew what my only alternative would be then.\n\n	[i:jbtc4ryx]Don\'t think about that.[/i:jbtc4ryx]\n\n	Wincing, I got up, walked back out back towards the moving van and picked out a few of my favorite books from my boxed collection. In particular, I was sure to pick up one of my particular favorites, [i:jbtc4ryx]&quot;The Divine Comedy&quot;[/i:jbtc4ryx]. A work far better than anything Shakespeare had written, I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys sick, dark humor as much as I do- the more modern the translation the better. The copy I picked up had been a birthday gift from last year. It was an unique adaptation of the Inferno that set Dante\'s hell in a modern city. \n\n	It seemed fitting, somehow. \n\n	I snuggled into my seat and looked one last time at my Highland home. I spat out the window, rolled it up, and I waited for the rest of my family to get into the car with me.\n\n	I opened the front cover, and began to read.\n\n		[i:jbtc4ryx]&quot;About halfway through the course of my pathetic life,\n		I woke up and found myself in a stupor in some dark place...&quot;\n			(Dante\'s Inferno, Birk and Sanders)[/i:jbtc4ryx]\n\n---\nThis was actually the start of a different set of writing I had been working on, but with a different title and not actually Daria related. Its name is Italian for chapter three, the beginning of which in Dante\'s Inferno begins with the most iconic lines of the whole work. The Divine Comedy has a special place in my own heart, and the edition quoted at the end is also my own personal favorite. Although published in 2004, it seemed fitting to mention. If you do ever come across a copy of such an edition, be sure to pick it up, as (of this writing) [url=http&#58;//www&#46;amazon&#46;com/Dantes-Inferno-Marcus-Sanders/dp/0811842134:jbtc4ryx]it\'s going for over $80 new on Amazon.[/url:jbtc4ryx]\nAlso Daria is owned by MTV, I don\'t own the rights to the characters, yadda yadda.\n\nHappy Birthday to me.\n[size=85:jbtc4ryx]* edited.

Thanks for letting Janey stay here with you while we get this sorted out.”\n“Trent, where are you going to stay?”\n“I can probably crash at either Jesse’s or Monique’s for a while. Or just sleep in the car.”\nHelen sighed. “Trent, Jane tells me your in some kind of band.”\n“Yeah, Mystik Spiral, but we’re thinking”\n“No, you’re not, Trent,” Jane said in exasperation. “You’ve been saying that for five years! Let it go!” \nNoticing that Jane was shaking from frustration, Helen said, “Daria, why don’t you take Jane and get some dinner. There should be plenty of lasagna left over.”\nOnce the girls were gone, Helen turned back to Trent. “Young man, my daughter has asked if you can stay here with your sister until your parents come back. If you were to stay here, you would be expected to follow our rules. Understood?”\n“Um….sure.”\n“Do you want to stay here?”\n“I don’t know….. Rules usually cause trouble, and I don’t want any trouble with you guys. I’ll just go crash at Jesse’s tonight and try to get ahold of my folks tomorrow.”\n“Ok. Do you need a ride?”\n“Nah. My car is right out front,” he said, pointing to a smoking car parked on the street.\nAnother sigh. “Very well. Just remember that you are welcome to come visit your sister anytime, ok?”\n“Thanks. You guys are pretty cool.” With that, he walked into the kitchen, said goodbye to Jane, and left the house.\n“Jane, how long did your parents say they would be gone?” Helen asked sweetly.\n“A couple of weeks,” Jane answered, swallowing a glass of milk in one drink.\n“How long have they been gone?”\n“About five months.”\nHelen stood still for a moment, then silently turned and left the kitchen. From the living room came what sounded disturbingly like a forehead hitting a wall numerous times.\n\nIn Daria’s room later that night, the two sat up, talking quietly.\n“I still can’t believe your mom is letting me stay here.”\n“Yeah,” Daria said sheepishly. “I can’t believe it either.”\n“Thanks for talking her into it,” Jane said, smiling.\n“No big deal,” Daria said.\n“Any ideas yet for that club you have to join?”\n“A few, but I don’t know what one I’ll join yet. You know anything about the Fashion Club?”\nJane stared at her with her jaw hitting the floor for the second time that night. “[i:1vyuoorr][u:1vyuoorr]YOU[/u:1vyuoorr][/i:1vyuoorr]? In the Fashion Club?” She let out a burst of laughter that threatened to awaken the entire house. Point of fact, the only person who heard it was the only other person awake. Quinn snuck down the hallway and listened at Daria’s door.\n“Seriously, Daria, you’d never last with those idiots! They think that Bermuda was named after the shorts and that makeup is more important than oxygen.”\n“I never said I was joining them!” Daria exclaimed, laughter in her voice. Quinn felt a small twinge in her heart, as Daria had never genuinely laughed around her in her entire life. “I just said it was an idea!”\nDaria ducked into the closet to change into her pajamas. Now wearing a Mark Twain shirt, she said, “You can have the bed if you want. I’ll sleep on the floor.”\n“It’s your room. I’ll be fine on the floor,” Jane said, indicating the inflatable mattress and sleeping bag that Jake had provided. “I never thought life could be like this, you know? Having someone to talk to who isn’t either asleep or trying to get out the door. I wish…”\n“What, Jane?” Daria asked, amusement still in her tone.\n“I wish my sisters had been more like you,” Jane said, barely whispering.\nDaria said softly, “Sometimes…..I wish Quinn could be more like you, Jane.”\nQuinn’s hand flew to her mouth to stifle a cry, then she turned and ran silently to her room.\n“I mean, she has to deal with me all the time, even when I’m at my worst. I’ve driven away so many of her friends, once they found out I was her sister. That’s why I went off on O’Neill: I want to not be a burden to Quinn anymore. I want her to be able to be happy.”\nJane silently hugged Daria, and they fell asleep holding each other tight, letting the other cry into their shoulder.\n\nWhen Daria awoke in the morning, she saw Jane sleeping by the window and smiled. Sneaking downstairs, she picked up the phone and dialed a number from memory.\n“Dr. Samuels? This is Daria Morgendorffer. I just wanted you to know that I’m really looking forward to our next session. No, I’m not being sarcastic. I’ve got a lot to tell you.”\nIn her room, Quinn woke up and rolled over to avoid feeling the tearsoaked pillow against her face.','3c749064ef41413e4c9d2d1973df5b74',0,'YQ==','1vyuoorr',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463371,31678,10,1025,0,'209.172.228.55',1298606522,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: &quot;New Hope&quot; Daria sketch.

Daria finished her drawing quickly, then noticed that Brittany was having trouble with hers. She wanted to ignore it, but she heard Dr. Samuels’ voice in her head: [i:5048bx1x]Reach out, Daria. If you can find a connection with other people, then you’ll be less likely to lose control.[/i:5048bx1x] With a sigh, she turned to Brittany.\n“Do you need any help with that?” she asked.\nBrittany looked up and, for the first time, realized who she was sitting with.\n“EEP! Please, don’t hurt me! I’m sorry that Kevvy was such a jerk to you in class, but that was still really mean of you to call me that…that….mean name!”\nDaria took a deep breath, then let it out slowly. “Brittany, I’m sorry. I was out of line calling you Ti- that name, and I’d like to help you with your assignment if you need it.”\n“Ok,” Brittany said, showing Daria her paper. It was covered in random lines going in various directions. Daria took a deep breath and started explaining the concept, adjusting her method of explanation every time Brittany’s eyes started to glaze over.\nBy the time Ms. Defoe came by, Brittany had a basic grasp of the concept. She looked at Daria with a vacant smile.\n“Yay! Now we’re even for you making me cry! See you later!”\n\nQuinn was picking at her salad in the lunch room as Sandi, Stacy, and Tiffany talked about the current neutral.\n“Quinn, are you listening?” Sandi asked imperiously. “We need to make sure we are coordinated for the party this weekend at Brittany Taylor’s house.”\n“Sorry, Sandi. I was going over my shoes in my head, trying to decide which one would make my toes look perfectly cute.”\n“Very well,” Sandi sneered. “Since class is coming soon to interrupt our important planning, we will reconvene at Quinn’s house after school.”\n\nDaria and Jane walked up to the Morgendorffer house after school, having stopped off at the soon-to-be-former Casa Lane so that Jane could grab some more of her stuff. Walking into the living room, they saw the Fashion Club sitting in the living room surrounded by numerous piles of clothing.\n“Like, excuse me?!” Sandi said indignantly. “Do you just walk into other people’s houses uninvited?”\nDaria’s hands curled into fists, and her breathing deepened. “What did you say?”\n“Quinn, do something about these intruders,” Sandi said, waving her hands in frustration. \nQuinn flashed Daria an apologetic look, then said sweetly. “Sandi, those two girls live here. I’m sure you remember me telling you that I’m not the only girl living here, right?”\n“Of course I do, Quinn! I just didn’t think you’d let those two…..them… live here in such an unfashionable state.”\nDaria took a step forward, but Jane put her hand on Daria’s arm to stop her. “Let’s get out of here,” she whispered in Daria’s ear. After a moment, Daria nodded and they walked upstairs.\n“Like, OMG!” Sandi said in a loud whisper, waving the other girls into a huddle. “I think those two are, like, [i:5048bx1x]together[/i:5048bx1x].

E. van Vogt, and gwrtheyrn\n\n[u:2khquoln][b:2khquoln]Chapter Thirty-six: [i:2khquoln]Meanwhile, in Another Part of the Galaxy, [/b:2khquoln] or, the League Gets Tough with Enro![/i:2khquoln][/u:2khquoln]\n\nThe early history of Zokbar 2, home to the so-called \'Jungle Planet Safari!\' was obscure, and largely uninvestigated.  In its present state, Zokbar 2 was patently an [i:2khquoln]artifact,[/i:2khquoln] with a worn appliqué lithosphere still mostly encapsulating a dense, extremely hard metallic shell.  In places, over the aeons, the rocky veneer had eroded away, revealing the refractory alloy layer it had apparently been intended to cover.  Obviously, Zokbar 2 had boasted a powerful, advanced technological culture at one time, but it was currently dominated by gigantic reptiloids, comparable to those found on Earth during the high Cretaceous.  This state of affairs was, had to be, as artificial as the planet\'s crust.\n\nThe only known technological cultures in the Galaxy were of human origin, but there were indications, subtle isotope signatures, suggesting that Zokbar 2 did not originate within the Milky Way.  The rest of the Zokbar system was aggressively ordinary.\n\nArchaeologists occasionally still applied for permission to conduct excavations with a view to throwing light upon such puzzles.  Permission was always refused.  The corporation\'s shareholders did not perceive a need to gratify penniless eggheads, especially when discoveries along the lines the eggheads wished might conceivably move the government to exercise eminent domain over their planet.  \n\nThe resort corporation which had acquired title to Zokbar 2 catered exclusively to the obscenely rich.  Their clientele came to \'Jungle Planet Safari!\' in order to revel in recreational slaughter of the local megafauna, and to enrich the corporation further in so doing.  That sort of clientele wouldn\'t stand back and hold its breath, waiting for nerds in shorts to brush dust off proto-objects. \n\nOn an high, exposed metal cliff on this world, the Galactic Monstrator\'s shuttle landed, conveying that worthy toward a summit conference with Enro, self-styled \'The Red\'.  Formally, Enro was merely the Foreign Minister of the Greatest Empire, but actually, for almost eight years, now, its dictator.\n\nThere had been no Monstrator appointed during the previous hundred and seventy years:  not since the last Boy of Destiny had brought the Galaxy to the brink of general war.\n\nThe Monstrator, in her heart of hearts, felt disaster drawing near.  Far from ensuring peace, her mission seemed certain to be the spark to set off open war.  Enro apparently thought that he had a chance to conquer the Galaxy by force.  Even without her agents\' reports from the [i:2khquoln]locus rem,[/i:2khquoln] it would have been obvious that the dreadful man had deliberately provoked the current crisis.  But there was something he wanted, something he didn\'t have yet.  She wasn\'t sure what it was, but had a good idea where to look for it.\n\nAt that moment she would gladly have kindled Earth\'s Sun into a nova.\n\nWell, Enro might be a dictator, but she was not.  She was a diligent worker in the cause of peace, who, while out of the room on other business, had been assigned a job that no-one else wanted to take.  If she hadn\'t been so close to mandatory retirement, she\'d have told those -- [i:2khquoln]men[/i:2khquoln] -- what they could do with this \'promotion,\' but instead, she\'d accepted it, and, in so doing, had agreed to abide by its rules.  \n\nHer putative masters had perhaps thought, based on a shallow understanding of her record, that she would try to find a formula to appease Enro, whilst preserving the status quo, but Enro was in the wrong -- absolutely, malignantly wrong, with no grey area about it. \n\nThe newly-minted Monstrator nevertheless went where she had been sent, even though it meant going someplace Enro the Red would go for amusement.  Even though it meant coming [i:2khquoln]here.[/i:2khquoln]  \n\nThis vile enterprise, with its tranquilised monsters pegged out to be slaughtered by entities even more monstrous, was a powerful argument for killing and eating the rich.  The Monstrator entertained this opinion, privately, despite being nontrivially rich and important, herself.\n\nIn a certain formalistic sense, the Monstrator was considered by many, at that moment, on that mission, to have the highest status in the Galaxy -- whatever the men who sent her might think about it.\n\nStill, she was here with her function to perform, not that she expected it to save the Galaxy from disaster.  &quot;Minion One,&quot; said the Monstrator,  &quot;make our presence known.  We will receive Lord Enro, at sundown, in this location.  \n\n&quot;Let them be told that we will leave this world at midnight.&quot; \n\nMinion One, a saturnine-featured gentleman, clad all in black except for his platinum rank disk, looked for a moment as if he had something to say.  If he did, he thought better of it.  He bowed, and backed out of the shuttle\'s salon.\n\n&quot;Minion Two, I attest that I have cleansed myself within the past sixth of a day, and remain ritually pure,&quot; said the Monstrator.\n\nMinion Two was a blonde woman dressed in white except for her ebon rank disk, good-looking except for a slightly harried air.  She asked the Three Questions of the Monstrator.  She received the appropriate response to each in turn, and thereupon lit a brazen censer, fed with the approved aromatic bark and leaves.\n\n&quot;We have half a day to prepare for a minatory state visit, Minion Two.  I am sent to Enro, to reprehend the Greatest Empire for serious iniquities.  Until our orbiting ship has quit these parts, I consider all of you to be at serious risk,&quot; said the Monstrator.   &quot;I have therefore approved all the ship\'s company for extreme hazard pay, with Special Circumstances for my two Minions.  Our masters discount the danger to you, but I think it real.&quot;\n\nMinion Two inclined her head.  Like Minion One, she knew that the situation, though a tremendous honour, had its bitter aspect.  The two had served their mistress from the beginning of her career, and had seen a thing or two. \n\n&quot;Has the [i:2khquoln]persona[/i:2khquoln] manifested to Your Sagacity?&quot; Minion Two murmured the question she must ask.  She feared the answer that she already guessed.\n\nThe Monstrator face was stern, resolute, calm.  &quot;[i:2khquoln]Death Angel.[/i:2khquoln]&quot;  She sat back, indicating her readiness.\n\nWithout another word, Minion Two tipped back the reclining chair upon which the Monstrator sat.  She touched a control, and the organ loaded with the prescribed cosmetics for the first layers of that truculent persona was presented.\n\nA single tear made its way down Minion Two\'s nose, as she began her labours over the Monstrator.\n\n\n[u:2khquoln][b:2khquoln]Chapter Thirty-six: [i:2khquoln]Meanwhile, in Another Part of the Galaxy, Part 2[/b:2khquoln], or, Enro and the Goddess Trade Predictions![/i:2khquoln][/u:2khquoln]\n\nEnro the Red and the Living Goddess, Heana, sat within a private dining room in the Jungle Planet Safari! main lodge building, at their midday meal.\n\nEnro, contrary to his public image, had no great interest in slaughtering dumb beasts, but some of it had to be done; his most ardent supporters expected it of him.  Whilst on Zokbar 2, he budgeted the period from sunrise halfway to noon to this distasteful but necessary blood offering -- doubly distasteful, because the reptiloid megafauna were not much use as food, their amino acids having the wrong chirality.\n\nThe chirality issue was another of those clues which excited the scientific types, but there was small chance that they would be allowed to make headway on it any time soon.\n\nThe red-haired man\'s wrists revealed that he had at one time been quite thin.  He now presented a muscular appearance, though he still looked boyish, perhaps due to his freckled countenance.\n\nThe Living Goddess, an aristocratic-looking black woman in her late youth or early maturity, would have looked very attractive in a photograph.  In person, despite her demure smile, she seemed to suck the oxygen out of a room.\n\n&quot;That\'s the Monstrator\'s shuttle.  In moments, I must expect the summons,&quot; said Enro.  &quot;I need an augury.&quot;  Enro\'s own special ability was of small use for his immediate requirements.  He could view the Monstrator\'s seemingly leisurely preparations, but was not able to penetrate her thoughts.\n\nThe Living Goddess glanced down at the remains of her meal.  &quot;I predict that if you ever order what I just had, you won\'t be pleased.&quot;  Her smile widened just enough for the expansion to be noticeable.\n\n&quot;Please, Goddess!  We need something more germane than that,&quot; said Enro.  &quot;I think you have a good idea of what we face here.&quot;  Enro\'s voice, as usual with him, was light, and superficially seemed gentle.\n\n&quot;What\'s less clear is why I would wish to help you, Lord Enro,&quot; she replied.  &quot;Your goals and mine seem to be incongruent.&quot;\n\nEnro gave his head a judicious inclination.  &quot;Perhaps they shouldn\'t be.  Heana has long been a proud member of the Greatest Empire.  If we were to come to grief, your world would suffer along with the rest.&quot;\n\n&quot;If we have such a long-standing amicable relationship, why do your armies occupy Heana?  Where is my husband?  Why am I here? &quot; the Goddess demanded. \n\n&quot;It is regrettable that affairs of state sometimes demand these small dislocations.  In time, they will be resolved, to the ultimate benefit of the whole human population of the Galaxy.&quot;  \n\nBut Enro\'s bland assurance did not convince the Goddess.  &quot;I see,&quot; she said.  &quot;\'Affairs of state\' and \'you\' are synonymous.  Much thereby is explained.&quot;\n\nEnro continued,  &quot;If you won\'t co-operate, I\'ll find some other use for you.  Perhaps you could master the functions of a bath maid.&quot;  His eye passed over her outward form, displaying some [i:2khquoln]pro forma[/i:2khquoln] interest.\n\nThe Goddess laughed, coldly.  &quot;Centuries ago, an enemy of my house said it well: \'Threatening a dame who can foretell the future is a mug\'s game.\'&quot;\n\nEnro\'s look of interest intensified.  &quot;There must be limitations to your power.  I wonder if I could pinpoint exactly what they are.&quot;\n\n&quot;To all things there are limits: of strength; of size; of duration.  Do I seem a fool to you, red man?  You\'ll not learn them from me!&quot;\n\nEnro sat back, then, and chuckled genially.  &quot;It\'s healthy to share these feelings -- I think!  But better not convince me that you won\'t help.  You\'ll find yourself in the position of one who can accurately foresee the destruction of her home planet.  I predict that would give rise to emotions that none would wish to share with you.&quot;\n\nThe Goddess\' smile did not reach her eyes, but, then, hers seldom did.  &quot;I am well aware that care must be exercised when dealing with you, Lord Enro.  Perhaps each of us has a tightrope to walk.&quot;  \n\nEnro\'s hot beverage cup was then silently refilled.  The server did not at once depart, but stood obsequiously at his elbow.  &quot;Beg pardon, my lord,&quot; the server murmured.  &quot;Her Sagacity sends this to you.&quot;  The man handed what looked to be an engraved invitation to Enro.\n\nAt first a ripple of irritation began to pass over Enro\'s face, but then his expression cleared.  The server could not have avoided carrying a message for the highest dignitary in the Galaxy; it would be puerile to blame him for it.  Enro opened the opulent-looking document and glanced over it.  \n\n&quot;Thank you, Borhha,&quot; he said, dismissing the server, who vanished gratefully away, even more silently than he had come.   &quot;Good health and long life to Her Sagacity!  Well, well; this is a signal honour!  What do you say, my dear Goddess?  Will you join me in attending upon the Monstrator?&quot;  Enro passed the warrant to her.\n\nShe looked down at it for an instant, and returned her gaze to Enro\'s.  &quot;It might prove amusing.  In a quarter day?  We must refresh our familiarity with the protocols, my lord.&quot;  Wheels precessed almost audibly behind her smooth brow.\n\n&quot;The prospect is invigorating!&quot; Enro then announced, in a slightly hollow upbeat tone.  &quot;But, what does your augury indicate?&quot;\n\nThe Goddess regarded him silently, long enough to blink thrice.  &quot;Lord Enro, if you truly wish to overturn the existing order, to spin the wheel of fate, you must defy the admonition the Monstrator brings you.&quot;\n\nEnro looked slightly unhappy.  He seldom bothered to dissemble his emotions.  &quot;She is a figure of highest nobility.  Is there no way to ...?&quot;\n\n&quot;Your vision can already make out the persona she is preparing.  Look up the meaning of what you see.  There is no doubt:  she will accept nothing but surrender,&quot; said the Goddess.\n\n\n[u:2khquoln][b:2khquoln]Chapter Thirty-six: [i:2khquoln]Meanwhile, in Another Part of the Galaxy, Part 3[/b:2khquoln], or, Hear Me Talk of Sin, and You Know, This Is It![/i:2khquoln][/u:2khquoln]\n\nLord Enro had come to the Monstrator\'s craft, at the appointed hour, bringing only the Living Goddess with him.  A bodyguard would have been a shocking breach of etiquette; weapons would have been ludicrously contraindicated.\n\nThe craft to which they came was a shuttle, a modular component of its orbiting mother-ship, but it was also as perfect a medium-sized space yacht as the Galactic League could build.  Their meeting nevertheless began without comfort, except for that of the Monstrator, herself, who sat on a rolled-out straw mat in the centre of the salon, her black-clad minion standing cross-armed behind her.  \n\nTwo burning censers, each diagonally before the Monstrator, out of her easy reach, hung from free-standing iron tripods.  Each contributed different components to the salon\'s weird miasm, which yet surprised by seeming unobtrusive.\n\nBetween the tripods, in a small, plain, wooden H-frame, hung an object like some sort of single-strand ceremonial flail, tipped with a slightly opalescent white jewel cut in the form of  a skull.\n\nThe Monstrator\'s elaborate makeup and coiffure gave her the almost naturalistic look of a perched carrion bird.  Her golden, clawed finger-sheaths enhanced that impression.  &quot;So, Enro,&quot; she said, in the harsh tones demanded by the [i:2khquoln]Death Angel[/i:2khquoln] persona.  &quot;Here you are.&quot;\n\nThe man standing before her flickered down an apparently friendly quirk of the lips.  &quot;I must display correct behaviour, Sagacity -- whatever others may do.  May I present the Living Goddess of the planet Heana?&quot;  Enro\'s easy geniality seemed an attempt to counteract the relentless ritual the setting was designed to evoke.\n\nThe Monstrator glanced briefly over at the Goddess, and then fixed her gaze immediately back onto Enro.  She lifted a golden claw in signal to the minion behind her.\n\nThe saturnine-faced man began to speak.  &quot;The Galactic League was formed by the nineteen great powers at a time when they were destroying themselves in futile, indecisive wars,&quot; he recited.  His voice was dry, professorial, but not unpleasant.  &quot;Peace was to be the trade of the League.  Like all successful organisations, the League concentrated a population of individuals gifted at its core business.  Over the centuries, people who actually [i:2khquoln]think[/i:2khquoln] peace became the leading voices in the League.&quot;  The set statement ended.\n\n&quot;Sometimes, I think I prefer war, however destructive!&quot; Enro declared, proudly.  He couldn\'t see the cams feeding the 3V signal, but he knew they had to be there -- they were the main weapons of the woman\'s office.\n\nThe Monstrator\'s deadly persona glared wordlessly up at the warlord.  Without seeming to move, the Goddess subtly detached herself from Enro\'s presence.\n\n&quot;Well?  How may I serve Your Sagacity?&quot; Enro said.\n\nAnother imperious finger signal prompted the standing minion to speak again.  &quot;We refer to the Greatest Empire\'s illegal bases established in the star system of Sol, in violation of three primary treaties to which the Greatest Empire is signatory.&quot;  The black-clad man then specified Sol\'s location in standard League nomenclature, recited the treaty designations, and stepped back.\n\n&quot;Is that what this is about?  Haven\'t those bases been out there for a long time?&quot;  Enro was the very picture of an astonished, busy man, bothered over a trifle.\n\n&quot;Continuing crimes,&quot; the Monstrator hissed, implacably.\n\nEnro shifted on his feet.  The fumes from the censers seemed to be bothering him somewhat.  &quot;It seems a minor matter.  Send me a memo, and I\'ll have the transport secretary look into it.&quot;\n\nThe seated woman would not meet him halfway.  &quot;The bases must go.  The Greatest Empire must quit Sol system, forthwith.&quot;\n\nEnro tried to muster a disarming smile.  &quot;That may not be practical, Sagacity.  If the bases have been there a long time, it might cause serious dislocation in the transport network to have them removed, ...&quot;\n\n&quot;Irrelevant.  Remove them.&quot;  The seated woman unfolded harshly, angularly, to her feet.  In her [i:2khquoln]Death Angel[/i:2khquoln] regalia, she loomed above Enro and the others, her head all feathers, eyes and beak, beneath a weaving, tendriled headdress: a shape out of nightmare.\n\nEnro frowned in bafflement, but still spoke with circumspection.  &quot;Then we must moot the subject at the next League conclave.  There is a war or disorder going on in the Sol system, I believe.  Very bloodthirsty inhabitants.  Perhaps we can restore order on behalf of the League.&quot;\n\n&quot;No,&quot; the Monstrator snapped.  &quot;The Greatest Empire is debarred from all activity in Sol system.  You started that war.  Your malfeasance will not profit you.  \n\n&quot;Remove the bases.  I have said it thrice.&quot;\n\nEnro hesitated.  Already this was far more punishing than he was prepared for, even though the Goddess\' augury had suggested something of the kind.  &quot;I will not prevaricate.  With respect, Sagacity, this involves a vital interest of the Greatest Empire,&quot; he said at last.  &quot;I cannot do as you ask.&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:2khquoln]I am the Monstrator, and [u:2khquoln]you will obey me,[/u:2khquoln][/i:2khquoln]&quot; she demanded, every throb of that eerie voice bending his mind to obedience.   She locked Enro\'s eyes with her gaze till he could bear no more, weaving her head slowly in a figure eight pattern as she stood above, overawing him.  \n\nEven had Lord Enro not known her rank, he would have known [i:2khquoln]her[/i:2khquoln] by those terrible eyes, shining through the censers\' fumes.  He felt his heart quail within his breast, and would have dropped his gaze before the Monstrator\'s, but then he thought himself to hear a quiet mocking laugh from the Living Goddess, and at that, Enro\'s spirit hardened.  \n\n&quot;I\'m sorry, Sagacity, I can\'t do that.&quot;  By main force, he pulled his eyes from hers, and outraged protocol then by turning his face away from the [i:2khquoln]Death Angel[/i:2khquoln].\n\nThe Monstrator felt her hold over him loosen, and showed her teeth in a raptor\'s snarl.  &quot;Now many will die, Lord Enro, as seems to be your wish; but many more will live to watch you bounce in the noose.  Your name will be a byword for brainless hubris.  Your failure will be complete.&quot;  She reached out, seized the handle of the ceremonial whip, and stalked to the back of the salon, displacing the black-clad minion.\n\nEnro\'s confidence meanwhile flowed back in a rush, and ran over its banks.  &quot;We have no time for this.  Come, Goddess.  Time to go.&quot;  He reached to take her elbow, but his hand missed its grasp.\n\n&quot;Not yet, Lord Enro,&quot; whispered the Goddess.  &quot;We must see the show through to the end.&quot;  Her own face was cuttingly tense, her eyes blazing hardly less than the Monstrator\'s.\n\nThe black-clad man reached through a door, and pulled a woman in white by the hand from the next room.  The woman had been weeping, but did so no longer.  The two stood, watched, and held hands.\n\nThe Monstrator waved the ceremonial whip rapidly above her head as she cried, &quot;I lay a ban upon the Greatest Empire, which only I, myself, may lift!  \n\n&quot;Let all contracts be broken!  \n\n&quot;Let no quarter be given, no aid rendered, no passage granted!  \n\n&quot;Let their every plan be thwarted!\n\n&quot;Till Enro is brought down, till I am obeyed, this I enact, for doom!&quot;\n\nThe Monstrator, in sacerdotal rage, then let her ceremonial whip\'s path run lower, and its weighted, monofilament strand sliced her through the back of the neck, neatly decapitating her.  Her head rotated end-to-end once as it fell to the mat.  For an instant, her body remained standing, fountaining her blood toward the ceiling; then, as she fell forward, her gore drenched Enro, and lightly spattered the Goddess.\n\nLord Enro stood there, aghast, white-faced beneath the Monstrator\'s blood, and felt, rather than saw, the Living Goddess smile.  &quot;Oh, dear,&quot; was all he could manage to say.\n\nThings hadn\'t gone as well as he had hoped.','ed66e0107d0985cb9bbdfdbad4760796',0,'YQ==','2khquoln',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463394,31424,3,525,0,'70.106.236.237',1298617791,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The Thread of Epic Win','[quote=&quot;Kael Seoras&quot;:huh6am53][quote=&quot;Brother Grimace&quot;:huh6am53][url=http&#58;//news&#46;yahoo&#46;com/s/yblog_thelookout/20110223/us_yblog_thelookout/dominos-delivery-driver-comes-to-the-rescue-of-elderly-daily-customer:huh6am53]I\'ll buy a pizza from them, just for this.[/url:huh6am53][/quote:huh6am53]\nThat is win of the most wonderful kind <!-- s:) --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif\" alt=\":)\" title=\"Smile\" /><!-- s:) -->[/quote:huh6am53]\n\nThat is very true, one of the great things when you really get to know your regulars.','355d311138ecbeb9d22293b64e5dca5b',0,'kA==','huh6am53',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463395,31642,6,1037,0,'99.33.85.60',1298618005,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Save the Last Trance for Me','[quote=&quot;jtranser&quot;:89dnz806]He looked up at the TV over the bar and saw that it was tuned to the European Furry Sports Channel.

Quinn Morgendorffer faces the greatest challenge of her singles career so far, as she faces Brittany Taylor and Jodie Landon in a triple threat match, with the LFC Women\'s World Championship on the line!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Let us revisit the events that lead to this match!&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Cut to footage of the Lawndale Rumble. Daria has Quinn on her shoulders and is about to throw her over the top rope, but Quinn uses her legs to hook Daria around her neck and fling her over the rope as well. Quinn hangs onto the ropes while Daria hits the floor. Quinn wins the match, and celebrates with the championship belt)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Quinn Morgendorffer won the LFC Women\'s World Championship for the first time by outlasting 29 other fighters in the Lawndale Rumble. That night, she turned her back on The Fashion Club once and for all, and she was embraced by the fans for the first time in her career.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;At the time I questioned whether abandoning The Fashion Club was a good idea or not. However, when she defended the title against Sandi Griffin the very next Friday and not only showed no fear in doing so, but actually retained the gold, I realised that I may have been a tiny bit premature in writing her off as a World Champion.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;After Griffin, there was no shortage of challengers for the title...&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Cut to footage of a match between Brittany and Jodie. Jodie has hooked both of Brittany\'s arms and is about to hit a move, but Brittany escapes and rolls-up Jodie for a pin. Both Brittany and Jodie have their shoulders down, and both Trent and Jesse count the pin. Jesse raises Brittany\'s arm to declare her the winner, but Trent raises Jodie\'s arm to declare her the winner instead)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Like these two. This was a No. 1 Contender\'s match between Taylor and Landon on Friday Night Fights a few weeks ago that ended up in a lot of controversy, Janet.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Yep, a rare double pinfall, skinny! Both Brittany and Jodie has their shoulders down, and all our video cameras and instant replays could not split the difference.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;The next week, General Manager Angela Li declared that the match would be changed to a Triple Threat, therefore both Taylor and Landon get a shot.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;That has been a major reason for Jodie\'s frustration as of late, her lack of opportunities. Well, she gets one tonight, and she doesn\'t even have to pin or submit the champion to win the belt.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;For the final time tonight, here is Anthony!&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Cut to DeMartino, standing in the ring)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]DeMartino:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Ladies AND gentlemen, allow me to introduce our GUEST timekeeper for the NEXT match.

MAIN EVENT!!! It is a TRIPLE THREAT match, scheduled for ONE fall, and it is for the LFC Women\'s WORLD Championship!&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](The crowd cheers.

Dammit, I wanted DeMartino to freak out again!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Brittany Taylor has been training harder for this match than she has ever done for any match in her life. She stepped aside from leading The Cheerleader Squad to train at the Ellenbogen Dungeon in Buxton Ridge, one of the most brutal training facilities in all of sport, for the last two weeks. And she came through with flying colours.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Only two people have ever made it through training at the Dungeon. One is Brittany Taylor. The other... LFC Hall of Famer Jake Morgendorffer.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;And he\'ll tell you how much he detested it until he\'s blue in the face. In comparison, Taylor never complained once.&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Brittany gets into the ring, jumps up on a turnbuckle and waves excitedly to the crowd, before doing a backflip back into the ring. Her theme fades out, and [url=http&#58;//www&#46;youtube&#46;com/watch?v=Hbyd2aQ9EiM:2xukvo4w]&quot;SOS&quot; by Rihanna[/url:2xukvo4w] begins to play.

LANDON!!!&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Jodie makes her way onto the entrance stage, to a crowd reaction of mostly boos and some cheers.

There are people who appreciate her hard work and her commitment to trying to win every time she gets in that ring. The rest are just idiots who see her recent take no prisoners approach as the acts of a bad person.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;But you can\'t dispute the fact that some of the things she\'s done in recent months are, to say the least, out of character.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Um... yes! She\'s always sought perfection. The only difference is that now she\'s not discriminating as to who falls at her feet.&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Jodie gets into the ring and turns her gaze to the entrance stage. Her theme fades out and [url=http&#58;//www&#46;youtube&#46;com/watch?v=PHzOOQfhPFg:2xukvo4w]&quot;Just A Girl&quot; by No Doubt[/url:2xukvo4w] begins to play to a huge cheer from the crowd)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]DeMartino:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Introducing the CHAMPION... fighting out of Pepperhill, California, she is the REIGNING and DEFENDING LFC Women\'s World Champion... QUINN... MORGENDORFFER!!!&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Quinn doesn\'t come out onto the entrance stage. Instead, she is standing in the rafters of the arena, hooked up to a zipline)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;What is she doing up there?&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Quinn Morgendorffer, the reigning LFC Women\'s World Champion, is going to make one show-stopping entrance!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;This is what Quinn is about these days... making her own mark. She has forever been in someone\'s shadow, whether that of her sister Daria, or that of Sandi Griffin. Quinn is now well on her way to not only equalling their achievements, but possibly surpassing them.&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Quinn jumps off the rafters and glides down to ringside to enormous cheers)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;WHAT A RIDE!!! The flashbulbs are literally lighting up this stadium!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;We\'ve seen Harleys, we\'ve seen limos, we\'ve seen paparazzi. But I don\'t think anything will top that.&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Quinn lands near the ring and starts unhooking herself from the harness. She does so, and gets into the ring. Quinn hops on the turnbuckle, takes off her belt and shows it to the crowd. As she gets down, her theme fades out)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]DeMartino:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;And when the action BEGINS, the referee in CHARGE for this contest is head official Trent Lane.&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Trent ushers in Quinn, Brittany and Jodie into the middle of the ring. Quinn hands her her championship belt, and he raises it up to the crowd before DeMartino holds his microphone out for him to speak into)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]Trent:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Uh... yeah, this match is for the World Championship. I think you were all given your instructions earlier, so don\'t ask me to tell you them again, because I can\'t remember them off the top of my head right now. What else is there... uh... fight clean, stay safe, touch hands and let\'s get started.&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Quinn and Brittany touch hands.

Morgendorffer and Taylor with the collar and elbow tie up, trying to gain an advantage early.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Neither is giving an inch at the moment. They\'re almost perfectly matched.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Now what is Landon doing?&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Jodie tries get the attention of Quinn and Brittany, but they are too busy locked up. Frustrated, she shoves Quinn, then Brittany and demands their attention)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;That\'s right, Brittany and Quinn. Jodie is in this match too!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Look at her running her mouth. She\'s probably said more in the last ten seconds than she has in two months.&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Quinn and Brittany stare at Jodie, dumbfounded, before they shrug their shoulders and knock her down with simulataneous hooks)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Bang! Down goes Landon!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;I think Jodie should be lot more careful next time about what she wishes for!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Morgendorffer and Taylor working together here as they hurl Landon to the outside!&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](With Jodie on the outside, Quinn and Brittany turn their attention back to each other. They lock up, and start exchanging counters)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Taylor goes behind with a rear waistlock... Morgendorffer counters with one of her own... Taylor with the hammerlock now...&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Neither of them seem to be able to get an advantage at the moment.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Taylor grabs the head, looking for Taylor Made early!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;No... Quinn rolls out. You\'ll need to do more than that to get Quinn Morgendorffer down for the 3 count.&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Quinn runs off the ropes and tries for a move, but Brittany catches her and slams her to the mat)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Morgendorffer went for what looked liked the Quinnception, only to get hit by a hard side slam there by Taylor!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Brittany is the textbook case of not judging a book by it\'s cover. She may look like nothing more than a dumb blonde, but she is possibly the most mentally-sound fighter in the LFC today. A real student of the game.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Not to mention her endurance and stamina. She lasted nearly half an hour in the Lawndale Rumble, longer than anyone else in the match.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;I don\'t know how much longer I can endure you not calling the match!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Taylor going for the first cover of the match after a second side slam... 1... and Landon is back in, breaking up the count at a long 1.&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Jodie picks up Brittany and throws her to the outside, and starts stomping Quinn)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Landon is being relentless with these attacks right now! Boots right to the torso of Morgendorffer.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;I\'ll say what I\'ve been saying every week since the Lawndale Rumble. With her renewed focus and ruthless aggression, it is not a question of if Jodie wins the big one, but when.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Morgendorffer back on her feet... and Landon with a hard short-arm clothesline!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Quinn\'s head snapped back hard then. Nasty clothesline.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Landon tries a cover now... 1... 2... Taylor stops the count at 2.&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Brittany picks up Quinn and throws her to the outside.

And she\'s giving Landon plenty of fight right now.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;And here comes Quinn again... double clothesline to Brittany and Jodie!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Morgendorffer takes them both by surprise by taking them to the ground!&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Quinn tries for a pin on Jodie, but she gets up at 2. Quinn picks her up)[/i:2xukvo4w] \n\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Morgendorffer with a kick to Landon... she hooks the arms, lifts her up and hits a Crash Landon?&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;That\'s Jodie\'s move! I call copyright infringement and theft!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;I call a cover... 1... 2... and Taylor breaks it up at 2.&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Brittany picks up Quinn and kicks her in the mid-section, before she runs to the ropes)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Taylor off the ropes and she hits Morgendorffer with a Quinnception?&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Turnabout is fair play, skinny! Quinn has found that out the hard way.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Referee Trent Lane counts the cover... 1... 2... and Landon with a big knee breaks it up.&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Jodie lifts up Brittany from behind and grabs her head)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Surely not... she\'s not, is she?&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Taylor Made! She got planted right on her skull!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;I need my echinacea right now... my head is spinning with all these stolen moves!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;In that case... Lane counts the pin... and Quinn saves the match at 2.

I think she might be standing on Jodie\'s hair.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Either way, Morgendorffer is pulling back hard on the legs of Landon with this submission attempt.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;But Jodie is crawling towards the ropes.

Two submission holds are locked in on Landon simultaneously!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Jodie must be in absolute agony, but she cannot tap out here!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Because that will end the match?&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Yes not only that, but the question would be who wins? Quinn and Brittany can\'t share the title!&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](In a last-ditch effort, Jodie finally reaches the ropes. Brittany and Quinn let go of the holds straight away, allowing Jodie to roll out of the ring)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Looks like Landon is taking a timeout and heading for our announce table. She needs it after the beating she\'s been taking so far in this match.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;That does seem like a good idea. These matches are unofficially no disqualification and no countout but no one ever actually tells them that.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Taylor and Morgendorffer follow suit and hit Landon hard with a double clothesline! Wow, this is almost like the Highland Street Fight with everyone fighting on the outside like this.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Please don\'t remind me. I\'m still feeling nauseous.&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Quinn suddenly throws Brittany into the steel steps. With Brittany down, Quinn starts taking things off the announce table)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;What the hell are you doing, Quinn? I needed that monitor to see things!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Oh my... Morgendorffer is starting to show that calculating, sinister side that was so prevalent when she was in The Fashion Club.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Jeez, can I at least move my laptop first?&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Quinn picks up Jodie and kicks her in the mid-section. As she lifts her up, Brittany attacks from behind with a chop block)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Taylor with a hard knock to the knees of Morgendorffer, and she is down.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Ooh... Brittany and Jodie are staring each other down again, but... they\'re not attacking each other.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;These estranged former best friends, not taking their eyes off each other for one second!&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Without taking her eyes off of Brittany, Jodie picks up Quinn. Brittany slowly comes over and they both throw Quinn\'s arms over their shoulders in readiness for a suplex)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Taylor and Landon playing the strange bedfellows here, and they\'ve got Morgendorffer in big trouble! This can\'t end well!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;That\'s it, I\'m out of here.&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Barch drops her headphones and moves away from the announce table. Brittany and Jodie lift Quinn up and suplex her through the announce table)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;GOOD GOD!!! MORGENDORFFER HAS JUST BEEN SUPLEXED THROUGH OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE!!! Bits of wood and plastic just exploded everywhere!&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Barch comes back to what is left of the announce table and puts her headphones back on)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;That could be the end of her title reign right there, O\'Neill! Wow... it\'s times like this I wish Li would fork out for a Spanish announce team. Then this kind of thing would happen to us a hell of a lot less!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Now Taylor and Landon have only each other between themselves and the gold.&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Brittany and Jodie get back into the ring and start throwing punches at each other)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;This is what it\'s all about, skinny! Throwing the fists with reckless abandon until the other girl can\'t stand up no more!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Taylor seems to be getting the advantage... but Landon hits back with a kick to the legs! She has the upper hand now.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Easy come, easy go. Now we have a chance to see what Jodie can do here to win the title.&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Jodie picks up Brittany and slams her right on her face)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Facebuster by Landon and that could end the match right now.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;And she\'s not hesitating in attempting a cover.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Referee Trent Lane starts the count... 1... 2... Taylor kicks out at 2.&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](A frustrated Jodie pulls at her braids and starts slapping Brittany repeatedly in the face, before locking in a cross armbar)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;There we go. Channel that frustration and aggression into something productive, Jodie!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Landon has that armbar locked in hard and tight! Listen to Taylor\'s screams of agony!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Screaming isn\'t going to get Jodie off of her. She\'s going to have to counter or get to the ropes, because Quinn is only just starting to stir now.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Well, Taylor is trying her hardest to get to the ropes. Slowly but surely she\'s inching her way there!&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Suddenly, Jodie lets go, pulls Brittany back into the middle of the ring and locks in the armbar again)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;That will do nicely for Jodie. DeMartino better be getting ready to announce a new LFC Women\'s World Champion!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;I could say something about hatching chickens, but you could be right here. Taylor is starting to fade.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;You know I\'m right... wait... Brittany rolls up into a cover?&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;1... 2... long 2 count! How on Earth did Taylor counter that armbar?&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;The easy answer would be to say that all that cheerleader training came into play, but I really don\'t know.&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Jodie gets to her feet and picks up Brittany, who is holding her damaged arm. Jodie kicks her in the mid-section and hooks the arms)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Well, if that armbar didn\'t do it, a Crash Landon will!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Taylor goes up... and hooks the legs around Landon\'s neck! She comes down with a hurricanrana... Landon rolls through... so does Taylor... who drop kicks Landon right in the face! Great counter wrestling by these two!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;This just goes to show that you should never count out Brittany Taylor at any time. Ever.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;But you were...&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Shut up and call the match, skinny!&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Brittany gets up and starts to clap her hands, inviting the crowd to do so. As they start clapping, Brittany waits for Jodie to get up)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Taylor trying to get the crowd on her side as she looks to finish off Landon!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;She\'s stalking Jodie, just waiting for the right moment to try for the Taylor Made.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;There she goes... and there it is! Taylor Made! It could be all over!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;She only did it with one arm though, will that be enough?&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Taylor with the cover... 1... 2... and where did Morgendorffer come from? Quinn Morgendorffer with the flying dive to save the match and her championship!&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Quinn flings Brittany off of Jodie and starts laying into her with knife-edge chops)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Here we go, O\'Neill! Quinn is a house on fire right now with these rapid chops!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Repeated shots right to the chest of Taylor... I\'m surprised that they actually look like they\'re hurting her.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Why? Because she has much bigger ones than the rest of the roster? How dare you say something like that, you chauvinist pig!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;I was going to say because she has a high pain tolerance, I swear... I should stick to play-by-play, right?&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Yes, you should.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Morgendorffer whips Taylor to the turnbuckle... slides in and hits her with a big uppercut!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;I swear I just saw some teeth get knocked out by that!&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Brittany drops to her knees and falls on her face. Quinn turns her over to try for a pin)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Morgendorffer has the shoulders down... 1... 2... and Landon saves the match again!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;These women have to have eyes in the back of their heads to be able to keep doing this.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;But now Landon is on the receiving end of Morgendorffer\'s chops... but Landon catches one and flings her over the top rope to the outside!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Hold it, she\'s still holding on to that top rope!&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Quinn pulls herself up and back over the top rope, catches Jodie\'s head with her legs and uses her momentum to take Jodie down to the mat)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Fantastic agility by Morgendorffer! First she skins the cat, and then she gets Landon with the headscissors!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Indeed that was fantastic, but she hasn\'t noticed that Brittany is back up!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Morgendoffer goes for the Quinnception on Landon... Bang! Taylor with a massive high kick right to the side of Morgendorffer\'s head!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;That\'s it! Game over... what is it with people not going for the covers right away tonight?&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](With both Quinn and Jodie down, Brittany goes to the apron and slowly starts climbing to the top rope)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Taylor is going to put it all on the line here and go for the big finish!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;This crowd is really starting to go off! Listen to the cheers!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;She may not have much left in her, but Taylor is going to feed off that fan energy to try and win this match!&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Brittany makes it to the top rope. After some hesitation, she jumps off and hits a flipping splash on both Quinn and Jodie)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Taylor hits the 450 splash on both of them! That could be it!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Jodie and Quinn aren\'t moving, Tim!&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Taylor chooses to cover Landon and here\'s Trent Lane with the count... 1... 2... what? That \'80s Team? Why are Ferrana and Wentworth down here?&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](The crowd boos heavily as Angel and Jackie pick up Brittany. She tries to fight them off but unfortunately, the numbers game proves too much)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;What business does Angel Ferrana and Jackie Wentworth have being down here?&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Maybe they\'re going to try and complete the set and take out the leader of The Cheerleader Squad.&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;There\'s the rear waistlock by Wentworth, and it looks like it\'s Head Banger time. What a shame that this match had to be ruined by outside interference.&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](Just as Angel starts stepping back to ready herself for the super kick, Angie, Lisa, Nikki and Donna hop over the barricade, charge into the ring and start beating down both her and Jackie, who lets Brittany go in the process)[/i:2xukvo4w]\n\n[b:2xukvo4w]Barch:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;There\'s the cavalry, Timothy!

And The Dames of Darkness too! What is going on?&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;There\'s Burns... Nibblett... Hogan... Jones... Watkins and Leung...

Is the match still going?&quot;\n[b:2xukvo4w]O\'Neill:[/b:2xukvo4w] &quot;Seems like it.

Unbelievable match!&quot;\n\n[i:2xukvo4w](The crowd metaphorically explodes as Quinn drops to her knees, tired and fatigued.

We had 8 inches of snow on Monday, and not much melt-off before yesterday\'s 1.5 inches of rain, now we\'re supposed to get 2 to 3 more inches of snow, then it\'ll stay below freezing for a couple of days, then really heavy rain on Monday. In other words, we\'re getting our usual mid-March weather a fortnight early. Update before posting: As I look out the window, I see that the rain has just turned to snow (it\'s 10:08 right now) so they were right about the &quot;before noon.&quot; \n\nPeace\nKevin','8c0c6a352280a282bc110539a27853e2',0,'gA==','2gv60lie',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463427,31900,6,1001,0,'88.8.124.111',1298647280,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Rewarding the classics','[quote=&quot;untra&quot;:2nv7ud7x][url=http&#58;//www&#46;outpost-daria&#46;com/fanfic/babylon&#46;html:2nv7ud7x]Babylon[/url:2nv7ud7x] is a personal favorite of mine.

Daria could see a look of relief come over Monique\'s face as she signaled for Daria to follow her.  The store had just received a large delivery that needed to be put up that night.  With Samantha and Olivia manning the registers, Monique led Daria to the tiny stockroom - it\'s floor covered in boxes full of books.  Monique opened up two boxes and she and Daria began the thankless task of putting away the book order.  Daria matched Monique box for box and four hours later, the task was finished.  Monique did a walk-through of the store and only found a couple of misplaced books. This had been the quickest their deivery had been put up in months.  Monique thanked her staff for their hard work.  Daria spent the rest of the evening shadowing Samantha at the register.\n\nAfter they closed,  Monique invited her employees out to dinner.  Daria called her mom and let her know that she would be running late.  They pulled into Pizza King and Daria was surprised to see Quinn sitting with Stacy, Joey, Jamie, and Jeff.  Spotting her older sister, Quinn excused herself and went over to Daria\'s table.\n\n&quot;I got the job at Cashman\'s.  I start Friday night,&quot;  Quinn said as eyes opened wide.  &quot;Oh, no - that means I\'m gonna be late to the party I was invited to!&quot;\n\n&quot;Congratulations sis!  Was it the party at the Kappa Kappa Gamma house?&quot;  Daria asked.\n\n&quot;Yeah - wait - how\'d you know that?&quot;\n\n&quot;A girl in some of my classes invited me.  Jane will be there - her brother\'s band is the entertainment.&quot;\n\nMonique began to choke as Daria finished speaking.  &quot;Jane - as in Jane Lane?  You mean Mystik Spiral?&quot;\n\nDaria lowered her head and nodded.  &quot;Yeah - I kinda knew Jane before I moved here.  We are both members of the same message board.&quot;  \n\nSeeing Daria\'s reaction, Monique looked right into Daria\'s eyes.  &quot;I take it you know...&quot; Monique watched Daria\'s head nod in agreement.  &quot;It\'s okay - I don\'t hate Trent, although I\'m pretty sure he hates me.  I can\'t say that I blame him - I mean I did break up with him just two months before our wedding was to take place.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah - when I told him where I was going to be working, he apologized to me in advance for never coming to see me at work,&quot;  Daria grimaced.  &quot;I\'m sorry - I should have never mentioned them.&quot;  \n\nMonique just smiled.  &quot;Don\'t be - the Lanes are good people and Jane deserves to be going to a far better art school than Lawndale State.

I‘m not even going to be able to get it home to dad in time to collect that twenty bucks.”\n\n“No, you getting a parade in honor of saving Lawndale.”\n\n“It’s just the Lions’ homecoming parade,” Daria said. She and Jane left the drugstore entrance and walked down the street where a crowd was gathering. “Ms. Li just saw an opportunity to ride m- uh, Green Lantern’s coattails and got her to agree to appear at this thing.” They arrived at an alley between two buildings. “So, meet me at Pizza Prince after this is over with?”\n\n“Er, I’ll have to take a rain check on that,” Jane said.

She hitched her backpack on her shoulder while Daria finished lacing her boots. “Are you ready to go?” Jane asked.\n \n\n“One more thing, then I‘ll be ready,” Daria replied as she looked around cautiously. Raising her right hand, she concentrated and changed from her regular outfit to her Green Lantern uniform. &quot;I just need to do something first.&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh.

Her eyes darted around the room, took in the sterile white walls and beeping equipment, the paper-thin gown that barely hid her body from indiscriminate display and realized she\'d found herself in a hospital. Her mind was a whirlwind of panic when she realized she didn\'t even know who She was, or how she\'d come to be in the situation she found herself. So she blinked; it was all she could really do.\n\n	The door to the room swung inward and a doctor, tall silver-haired and handsomely middle-aged, strode importantly inside with clipboard in hand. He offered his best dazzlingly-white smile to the beleaguered girl and patted her leg reassuringly.\n\n&quot;So you\'re finally up.&quot; She didn\'t bother to reply; it was an obvious question and in her current state of mind, any answer she was to offer would have raised the parental guidelines from PG to R in under five seconds. Instead she nodded, which the doctor seemed to like just fine. &quot;Well your tests check out just fine, which is pretty surprising considering the kind of accident you were in. Despite some minor trauma to your--&quot;\n\n&quot;Accident?&quot; The sound of her voice surprised her, and she blinked. It was richer, somehow deeper than she expected it to be. &quot;What are you talking about, accident?&quot;\nDr. Handsome seemed taken aback by her query and a concerned frown creased his brow.\n\n&quot;Jane,&quot; he said slowly in a soft tone of voice. &quot;You were in a motorcycle accident. It was pretty bad, the bike was completely destroyed. You were lucky to get out of it with just a few friction burns, scrapes and some bruising. In fact, some are calling it a miracle. There was minor head trauma and you’ve been unconscious for nearly a week, so I suppose it\'s normal for you to take a little while to remember.&quot;\n\n	She frowned and absently brought a hand up to her forehead to find a thick bandage covering most of it. She searched her memory for the events Dr. Handsome had just described, as well as any possible familiarity with the name he had called her. She just didn’t seem like a Jane. Several minutes later found her frustrated, but no more found than when she awoke. She tossed her head impatiently, effectively batting herself in the face with her long dark hair and turned her attention back to the doctor.\n\n“Jane.. Why are you calling me that, is it my name?”\n\nDr. Handsome’s healthily flushed face went pale and he hit the call button and waited for a nurse to arrive from the station down the hall. \n\n“You didn’t have any identification on you when you were found,” he answered slowly and glanced at the small window in the door, but there was no nurse there to reinforce his professional detachment. \n\n	Her eyes widened after a moment and her mouth fell agape in comprehension. Hesitantly she looked down to the hospital tag on her wrist and read the name printed there.\n\n“Jane Doe.” It looked like this day was just going to get better as it went along.\n--------------\n\nCrappy writing prevails!','823ad17c72e0803714a9ffe3116a6995',0,'','2tdewu08',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463452,31590,3,1203,0,'72.166.224.192',1298660202,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: How to lose weight without really trying','[quote=&quot;MartinUK&quot;:3ionicxk]Latest news, in case anyone is bored enough to be interested.  <!-- s:P --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif\" alt=\":P\" title=\"Razz\" /><!-- s:P --> \n\nSince I still have a cough and a little chest pain today, 39 days after getting ill, I went to the doctor.\n\nSeems I\'ve had pneumonia.

Well, at least there\'s nothing here. Maybe I can--\n\n(She suddenly freezes as behind her we hear:)\n\nJUDITH: Hello, Amelia...\n\n(Amelia gulps and turns around to see Judith standing behind her, arms folded, smirking. Amelia reacts in her own...inimitable way.)\n\nAMELIA: YAAAAAAAAAAA!\n\n(She throws up her Ring and hurls several blasts of energy towards Judith. But, as soon as she moves, Judith pulls out a pencil and amazingly, sketches  large shield in the air in front of her. The sheild solidifies just as the bolts hit it, causing them to rebound ineffectively back towards Amelia who hits the dirt.)\n\nJUDITH: Research is a useful tool. Remember that.\n\nAMELIA: What the hell is going on?\n\nJUDITH: Oh, I wanted to have  little chat with you. Well, I say chat, but in actuality....\n\n(She quickly unfastens her cloak and hurls it at Judith. Before Amelia can react, the cloak wraps itself around her, binding her arms to her sides. Judith walks up, a hand on her chin, looking her over.)\n\nJUDITH: You have no idea what you\'re doing, do you?\n\n(Amelia blanches, realising she\'s been found out by the Ringbearers\' worst enemy.

It falls over her eyes.)\n\nJUDITH: I bet you\'ve got a bunny\nUnder your hat!\n\n(Judith lifts the hat and a large confused rabbit is on Amelia\'s head.

Judith flies backwards, but she opens a portal and disappears into it.)\n\nJUDITH: Zabacadabadabra!\n\n(Amelia pauses, then whirls around, expecting Judith to appear behind her as she did before. Except that Judith, sans flames, grabs her from where Amelia used to be facing. And when I say grabs, a more accurate term might be “feels up.”)\n\nJUDITH: Judith\'s gonna grab ya!\n\n(Amelia shrieks and elbows Judith in the stomach, breaking the villianess\' hold on her. Amelia spins around and blasts again. Judith leaps into the air flies up and back straight down towards Amelia, who snarls up at her.) \n\nJUDITH: Alakazam-da-mus\nThis thing\'s bigger than the both of us!\n\n(Amelia flies up towards Judith, but before they impact, Judith ducks under her, flies up next to her. She grabs ahold of Amelia\'s uniform and yanks hard. The uniform rips off her body, leaving Amelia clad in her underwear. She shrieks, turns red and moves her arms to cover herself.)\n\nJUDITH: So spare me your tremendous scare!\nYou look horrendous in your underwear!\n\n(Judith flies in circles around Amelia, making her dizzy. As soon as Judith stops spinning her around, Amelia staggers around for a few moments before Judith slides up behind her, pushing a large crate right into the back of Amelia\'s knees. Amelia falls into the crate. Judith slams a lid on it, then slaps a label reading “To: The Transdimensional Optimist\'s Society&quot;)\n\nJUDITH: And I can hardly wait\nTo discombobulate\nI\'ll send ya back and packing \nIn a shipping crate\n\n(Judith lifts up the crate with one hand, spins it on her fingers, while opening a portal with her free hand. She then drop kicks the crate through the portal, presumably back to the Ringbearers and the rest of the Alliance.)\n\nJUDITH: You\'ll make a better living\nWith a spinning plate\nYou\'re only second rate!\n\n(With the final bars of the music, the cloak returns to Judith\'s shoulders, and Judith takes a bow bfore vanishing out of this particular universe.)\n\nJUDITH: (as she vanishes) Sometimes, I just need to laugh...\n\nEND\n \n\n“You\'re Only Second Rate” from “The Return of Jafar” by Randy Peterson and Kevin Quinn\n\n©2010 Disney.\n\n--Erin M.','bd0d9cc25af26c51ec5aaa0c0517e653',0,'','3op39d8z',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463455,32042,6,1108,0,'109.155.101.222',1298660481,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: What Did You Do During The War, Daria?','[quote=&quot;LadieT&quot;:3f9xwefp]Why are you people trying to get me hooked on comics??????

For three days a small army of priests bivouacked in and around the Vatican, attending Masses, testimonials, prayer meetings and conferences designed to celebrate their vocation and renew their commitment to serving Christ and his church.\n\nThe gathering culminated in a spectacular Mass in St Peter\'s Square for an estimated 15,000 priests – the largest Mass ever concelebrated in that arena. Speaking of his &quot;joy for the sacrament of the priesthood,&quot; Benedict oversaw waves of cassocks rising and kneeling in perfect unison during the celebration.

I\'ve never had a girlfriend to speak of becuase of how the bullies used to go to me and say &quot;So-and-so girl loves you!&quot; and I\'d go up to her and ask her if it was true and she\'d run away from me screaming &quot;Get away from me, you monster!!&quot;  Of course it didn\'t help that I didn\'t have as my grandfather put it &quot;the social graces&quot; (and let\'s face it--Special Education doesn\'t teach you any of those stupid &quot;social graces&quot; anyhow).  I tend to be a loner and basically the only time I get to go out is my Saturday trip to the library.\n\nI figured given the relative anonymity of the Web that people would be accepting of me and understand the problems that I have.  At least that seemed to be the case with the first generation of [i:zaqjo2ym]Daria[/i:zaqjo2ym] fans.\n\nHowever, the past few years and the new generation of fans that have arrived--as well as certain circumstances (some I admit I brought upon myself while others were beyond my control) have led me to clash with certain members of this community--with less than desirable consequences.  I now feel the same way that Astronaut Sam Conrad was in the end of that episode of the original version of  [i:zaqjo2ym]The Twilight Zone[/i:zaqjo2ym] when he realized that the home the Martians built for him was actually a cage in a zoo--people are alike all over.  There are always going to be bigoted people who will never understand the kind of problems people like me have to face.\n\nBut that does not mean that there haven\'t been some people here who have understood where I\'m coming from.  To those select few I thank you for your patience and understanding.\n\nBut I think what led me to finally compose this message was nothing that\'s happened here or anywhere else in thie community--it\'s an incident with my parents.\n\nWe still have a lot of stuff to move out of our old house in Hudson Falls and my stepfather is getting very angry over how much stuff we\'ve accumulated over the past twenty years.  However, much of the stuff I have has a lot of memories and sentimental value and that\'s the same thing with my mother\'s stuff.  We wound up getting into a heated argument over it and I stormed out of the house for a while.\n\nThat\'s when something I thought would never happen to me did happen.\n\nFor a few brief moments, I harbored the thought of killing my mother and stepfather and running away back to Long Island, where I feel I would be better off.  I was just sick and tired of doing all the goddamn grunt work at home and at the shop and getting little to no appreciation for it.  I was sick and tired of having to deal with people I feel don\'t understand my behavior problem and others who think they &quot;understand&quot; but are just a bunch of heartless bureaucrats and medical personnel who are just going through the motions to collect their paychecks.\n\nI\'ve always believed if the bullies keep telling you you\'re a monster, eventually you\'ll become the monster they think you are.  Yesterday I thinK I finally realized that I\'ve become the monster.\n\nI don\'t think I\'m a violent person by nature but even the best of us can become such if pushed too far.  I don\'t want to become a paranoid basket case like Crossada75 has become.\n\nTherefore, after much consideration, I\'ve decided to seek counseling for my behavior problem even if my mother and stepfather object.  There\'s an ad for a Christian counseling service hanging on the bulletin board at the post office who offers a sliding scale (which should be handy for me since as you all know I\'m on SSI and Social Security Disability for my ADD).\n\nFurthermore, while it might be considered closing the barn door after horses have ran off and some might not accept this, I want to apologize to everyone I might have angered and upset here and in other places in this community.  I admit that at times I acted the way I did because I felt persecuted due to my ADD and felt that it might be my &quot;Get Out of Jail Free&quot; card from those situations.\n\nTherefore to that end, I herby promise to do the following:\n\n1.  I will no longer gripe about my problems regarding myself, my family or the area where I live.\n\n2.  I will no longer post local news stories to this or any other place in this community.\n\n3.  I will no longer talk about classic TV shows or comic strips like [i:zaqjo2ym]Luann[/i:zaqjo2ym] and [i:zaqjo2ym]Funky Winkerbean[/i:zaqjo2ym].\n\n4.  I will still post spoilers but as stated in my spoiler schedule for the upcoming week I will now list the day, time and channel for each show.  However, if the majority of this community does not feel that I should continue to post spoilers, then they shall be discontinued.\n\n5.  I will be a more active participant in the threads that I post here.  I know I\'ve developed a reputation here for starting threads and never replying to them, but I now promise that it will no longer be the case.\n\nI admit that I have angered many people here and in other places in this community but I think being away for a few weeks and what happened yesterday was a big wake-up call for me.\n\nWe all joined this community because we all sympathized with what Daria went through.  I think I lost sight of that.  I also need help for the problems I\'m going through.\n\nI promise you that when this is all done I will be a better person.  All I ask is for everyone to take a leap of faith with me.\n\nThank you.','36cdcdc480cce72fb3107b7f55a1e25a',0,'IA==','zaqjo2ym',1,1298832625,'',26,3,0),(463484,32010,11,59,0,'98.214.72.176',1298672190,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Question: \'Boxing Daria\'; continuity','[quote=&quot;Dark Kuno&quot;:10n2dpkp][quote=&quot;Wassersauefer&quot;:10n2dpkp][quote=&quot;Brother Grimace&quot;:10n2dpkp][quote=&quot;Dark Kuno&quot;:10n2dpkp]\n\nAlso, wasn\'t it O\'Neill who was trying to get Daria to participate in the 1st place?

She saw Jodie in the library, going over student council matters – so that was one similarity. Kevin was running around throwing a ball to his friends, so that was another one.\n\nShe could see Brittany and other cheerleaders in conversation: “I know, I [i:3j2o4pvo]know[/i:3j2o4pvo], but if she thinks she has an in with us, she’ll help sabotage Quinn for us. If this means sacrificing some coolness at a party, so be it.”\n\n“But it’s [i:3j2o4pvo]my[/i:3j2o4pvo] party,” said Nikki.\n\n“Sacrifice, Nikki, sacrifice!”\n\nThen Kevin came over, and Brittany turned round with a squeal of “KEVVIE!”: that made Daria jump, it was almost [i:3j2o4pvo]exactly[/i:3j2o4pvo] like in her reality. Except it was a tiny bit off, like the squeak was being faked. \n\n“Jane, does Kevin cheat on Brittany?”\n\nJane blinked. “Er… Was I supposed to find that out?”\n\n“That answers [i:3j2o4pvo]that[/i:3j2o4pvo] question. Does Brit?”\n\n“Well, yeah. I mean, er, yep, yes she does, you’re right-“\n\n“I get the picture, Jane.”\n\n“Sorry.”\n\nDaria fought the urge to ask questions and instead went off again, trying to see who else she could see. She saw the girl Tori, flipping through a chart and informing a guy that she couldn’t tell him where Some Girl was because she wasn’t popular enough for him “and that would just mess up the order”. (Daria tried to forget about that) She also saw the Fashion Club, trotting along discussing… well, yeah. And there was the Three J’s, of course, looking to carry some of Quinn’s stuff, and…\n\nAnd that guy in the “The Head” T-shirt. \n\n“Hi, Sandi!” he wheezed in that high voice Daria remembered from Esteem class. “Ummm… Do you need your…” He looked her over. “…anything carried?”\n\nAnd as Daria watched, Sandi [i:3j2o4pvo]smiled[/i:3j2o4pvo].\n\n“Um, sure, Eddie – you can carry my… scrunchie.”\n\nHe took it with trembling reverence. “Where should I carry it [i:3j2o4pvo]to?[/i:3j2o4pvo]”\n\n“Oh, just to the end of the corridor is fine.” She turned back to the other girls. “Now, [i:3j2o4pvo]as[/i:3j2o4pvo] we were discussing, we simply [i:3j2o4pvo]have[/i:3j2o4pvo] to have words with O’Neill about the [i:3j2o4pvo]atrociously[/i:3j2o4pvo] out of style clothes for the school play-“\n\n“Yeah, they’re all so [i:3j2o4pvo]old![/i:3j2o4pvo]”\n\nDaria let them go, trying to make sense of what she’d seen. The Head kid – Ed, he was apparently called; she didn’t think [i:3j2o4pvo]anyone[/i:3j2o4pvo] had known his name – having a crush on Sandi, she could see that, but actually being treated with sympathy rather than disdain? By [i:3j2o4pvo]Sandi?[/i:3j2o4pvo] Who, in all other respects, was acting just like-\n\n“Jane, what’s that guy’s name?” she asked, testing something.\n\n“Ed Parker,” said Jane, confused. \n\n“Does everyone know that?”\n\n“I… I dunno. I’d [i:3j2o4pvo]assume[/i:3j2o4pvo] so.” She bit her a lip. “Daria, I don’t understand all these questions.”\n\n“You wouldn’t, don’t wo-“ Daria stopped in mid-sentence as Jane looked down at her foot. “I didn’t mean it like that.”\n\nJane looked up, smiling. “Oh! Um, okay. Cool.”\n\nThis didn’t make sense ([i:3j2o4pvo]yes it did there was a reason she knew what DON’T THINK IT[/i:3j2o4pvo]) and was just getting more and more unnerving, so she stopped thinking about that and focused back on Head – Ed, even. Everyone knew his name here. That wasn’t true at [i:3j2o4pvo]all[/i:3j2o4pvo] back home. What was the difference?\n\nWas he just more well known because he was around the Fashion Club? But why was he? Why was that tolerated? It was like Sandi was [i:3j2o4pvo]obliged[/i:3j2o4pvo] to tolerate it, a main character being friends with a supporting role that she never would be in real life but had to be for story’s sake. And that made no sense. She wasn’t in a Grant Morrison story.\n\n[i:3j2o4pvo]I don’t know if this is helping me work out a way home but it’s doing a great job of making me go bugnuts. I’ll start screaming “Damn it” and be after squirrels in no ti-[/i:3j2o4pvo]\n\nThe thought of squirrels triggered something – something she hadn’t wanted to ask.\n\n“Do you know a Tom Sloane?”\n\n“One of Quinn’s suitors, right?”\n\nDaria almost choked. “He [i:3j2o4pvo]what?[/i:3j2o4pvo]”\n\n“Y-Yeah, I dunno what he sees either, it doesn’t make sense at all.”\n\n“Do we know him?” she whispered.\n\n“Uh… seen him around.”\n\n“Of course.” She closed her eyes and tried not to be sick. “Of course.” There’d been no reason to believe she’d be dating Tom in this reality too, but… “Do… do we get on when he meets us?”\n\nJane said “no”, slowly, and then jumped as Daria punched the wall. \n\nThere was silence for a few seconds.\n\n“That was not cathartic at all,” said Daria in an emotionless mutter. “I think the wall won that fight.”\n\n“D-D-Daria?”\n\n“Come on, third period soon.”\n\nOn their way to class, Daria and Jane passed Brittany talking to another girl: a brunette, trapezoidal glasses, a button-up mauve shirt.\n\n“…know, Brittany, I mean I’d [i:3j2o4pvo]like[/i:3j2o4pvo] to be at the party and all that, sure! But, um, doing that-“\n\n“Look at it this way, Cindy: Quinn gets roles all the time, you’re just giving her a rest! Rests are good!”\n\n“That’s true…”\n\n“And you’re the understudy for that part, so the play will still be great, [i:3j2o4pvo]right?[/i:3j2o4pvo]”\n\n“Ummmm, yeah…” Cindy scratched her nose. “But what about-“\n\n“There’ll be [i:3j2o4pvo]cute guys[/i:3j2o4pvo] at the party.”\n\nDaria focused on this, anything to get away from Tom: “And that would be…?”\n\n“Oh, Britt’s after Cindy again?” Jane gave a slight chuckle. “I dunno. Cindy is desperate to be a popular girl but she [i:3j2o4pvo]always[/i:3j2o4pvo] quits when Britt asks her to do anything [i:3j2o4pvo]bad[/i:3j2o4pvo] for it. Brittany never learns.”\n\n“Quinn’s class?” asked Daria casually.\n\n“Uhhh… I guess so.”\n\n[i:3j2o4pvo]It all goes back to Quinn and her friends, again.[/i:3j2o4pvo]\n\nShe thought through that, because it meant she wasn’t thinking about Jane.','c20375fcad82b9bd17da05476e7407c8',0,'IA==','3j2o4pvo',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463512,32011,6,1108,0,'109.154.100.237',1298681632,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Someone Else\'s World (4)','Ed Parker as a name for The Head comes from Excellent S\'s Lawndale Fighting Championship fics.','e6f45c72ea012615eacbcb110e2fa60c',0,'','2g3xhjjb',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463513,32042,6,1108,0,'109.154.100.237',1298682025,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: What Did You Do During The War, Daria?','Judge Dredd has a young clone of himself, and that\'s never been a problem because the 2000 AD artists use this incredible technique of drawing them [i:3kg5q775]slightly differently[/i:3kg5q775] so you can tell which one is the older dude.','9a43b619fb96603ccadbc165596dec21',0,'IA==','3kg5q775',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463514,32011,6,1127,0,'49.185.67.28',1298682444,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Someone Else\'s World (4)','My names are starting to catch on...

If not for the padding on the walls, there was no doubt she would have been heard downstairs.\n“That arrogant little gorbellied fen-sucked slug! In my own house! She pulls that trash [u:18rzl3ip]in my own house[/u:18rzl3ip]!” Her rant devolved into a string of profanity as she began punching the padded wall. Jane sat on the bed, waiting for her to run out of steam. It took almost 15 minutes.\nFinally spent, Daria collapsed on the bed, breathing hard and wiping tears from her eyes. Jane wrapped her arms around her tight, letting Daria vent.\n“I’m sorry,” Daria whispered, dropping her head so that she was staring at the floor.\n“Hey, don’t be sorry. It’s not your fault,” Jane said softly, rubbing her back gently.\n“I don’t want to be so angry all the time,” Daria said, leaning back so that she was laying flat on the bed. \nJane sat next to her and whispered, “I don’t want to be an unofficial orphan, but life dealt us these cards, and we have to make due with them what we can.”\n“You have any plans tonight?” Daria asked.\n“Let me see,” Jane said, thoughtfully looking at a nonexistent day-planner in her hands. “Well, I was going to sit around doing nothing, but if you crave companionship, I can push that back to 8:15.”\n“I’ve got a….doctor’s appointment tonight, and I usually need to veg out on pizza and Sick, Sad World afterwards. Interested?”\n“I think I can pencil you in. Until then, I’ve got time to talk to your mom about that guestroom she wants me to sleep in. I’ve had another idea and must get it onto canvas tonight.”\n“I’m sure mom won’t mind. I just hope I’m not bringing down your muse,” Daria said with a small grumble.\nJane smiled and whispered, “Who do you think inspired this next painting?” With a smile, she leaned over and gave Daria a peck on the forehead.\n\nSandi snuck upstairs quietly while Quinn went to get more carrot sticks. She slowly opened a door to discover that it was Quinn’s room. Tiptoeing across the hall, she listened at the door and, hearing soft voices, pulled out her cell phone and turned it to camera mode. She silently pushed the door open, and saw Jane and Daria lying on the bed. She aimed the camera-phone at them, and took the picture just as Jane kissed Daria’s forehead. Sandi looked at the picture she had taken and quickly declared it her best ever. With a malicious grin, she walked back downstairs.\n\nDaria and Jane came downstairs for dinner, surprised to find the Fashion Club still in control of the living room. Ignoring the three sets of eyes locked onto them, they walked into the kitchen and found a note from Helen on the counter.\n[i:18rzl3ip]Girls, I have to work late tonight.

Why, you planning on going with?”\n“No, but if things get boring here, I might crash.”\nTaking the food from the microwave, Daria added some salt to hers and asked, “Is it just me, or did it seem like they were staring at us?”\n“Who knows? Also, who cares?” asked Jane as she began eating.\nDaria watched as Sandi, Tiffany, and Stacy all got up and told Quinn goodbye. She waited until they had left to go to the living room.\n“Quinn?”\nQuinn jumped, then relaxed. “Yes, Daria?”\n“I’m sorry I overreacted at Sandi. I just”\n“Daria, chill. She was out of line,” Quinn said, sounding exasperated.\n“Are you ok?”\n“Just drop it, ok?!” Quinn stormed up the stairs, leaving Daria in the living room.\nAfter a moment, Daria followed. “Quinn?” she called, knocking on the door. “Quinn, what’s wrong?” There was no answer. She tried the doorknob, but the door was locked. “Quinn! What did I do?” Still no answer. Fighting to control the conflicting emotions of rage and despair, Daria said, “Quinn, please tell me.” When Quinn still didn’t’ answer, Daria lost the battle and felt her rage take over. “OPEN UP!” she screamed, kicking the door hard. It flew open, taking a bit of the doorframe with it. She saw Quinn laying on the bed, looking at the wall.\n“Care to tell me what the hell this is all about?!” she bellowed, kicking over Quinn’s desk chair as she approached the bed. “I come home to your friends insulting me, and [i:18rzl3ip]you’re[/i:18rzl3ip] the one in a bad mood?! WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!” she screamed at the top of her lungs, kicking Quinn’s bed so hard that one of the posts snapped and the canopy collapsed onto the bed. “Quinn!” Her anger forgotten, she grabbed the canopy roof and lifted it off her sister, shoving it to the floor. She turned Quinn over and saw two things that froze her heart. The first was the trickle of blood on Quinn’s forehead where the canopy had hit her. The second was the look of pure terror in her eyes.\n“Go away,” Quinn whispered, tears in her voice as she wrapped her arms tightly around herself.\nIn shock, Daria ran out of the room, shoving Jane out of the way as she was coming to try to help. She raced down the stairs and out the front door, running blindly down the street.\n\nAt home, Sandi signed into Facebook and uploaded the picture she had taken on her cell phone. The faces of the two girls were crystal clear, as was the caption Sandi added:\n\n[b:18rzl3ip]LAWNDALE DYKE ALERT![/b:18rzl3ip]\n\nThat posted, she went to her closet and started laying out her outfit for the party.','4e2b9fbaf02acc71df014fcc6132a907',0,'YQ==','18rzl3ip',1,1305862917,'',1151,1,0),(463524,32041,6,1125,0,'75.14.15.37',1298686968,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: And I thought I gave little Daria a hard time...','[quote=&quot;Pashupati&quot;:1m0rkqzq]\nSomehow, it seems when something isn\'t explored in fiction it has less of a reality for some people.

Thanks so much!&quot;  She hung up the phone and slumped down in her chair.  [i:1espluh1]It\'s over[/i:1espluh1], she thought with a bittersweet mixture of relief and sorrow.  [i:1espluh1]Mother and Grandma will take care of everything and I won\'t ever have to see that jerk again.[/i:1espluh1]\n\n\n\n&quot;...and then a couple days later Grandma called me up and said, \'Pack your things, Erin, you\'re going to a spa to relax and calm your nerves,\' and I was like, \'Where?\' and she said \'Stadt\' and I thought she sneezed or something but it turns out she meant the place in Switzerland where we\'re going!  Isn\'t that funny?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes,&quot; said the man sitting next to Erin on the plane.  It was one of only half a dozen words he\'d managed to squeeze into the &quot;conversation&quot; during the past five hours of the flight.\n\n&quot;My Grandma is sending me here for a whole week!&quot; she continued.  &quot;It\'s going to be great!&quot;  She smiled, thinking about it.  [i:1espluh1]I hope Grandma paid for a body wrap.  Those are really nice.  Oooh, and a couple of massages.  Not deep tissue this time, though—those sometimes hurt.[/i:1espluh1]\n\nThe man was startled by the sudden break in the chatter.  &quot;She\'s very generous,&quot; he replied, running a hand through his curly blond hair.\n\n&quot;She can totally afford it,&quot; Erin explained with a shrug.  &quot;She and Mother are always buying me presents, sending me on trips, giving me extra spending money, and whatever.&quot;  She smiled at the man, then gasped in surprise.  &quot;I just realized I never even asked what your name was!&quot;\n\nHe smiled back.  &quot;Jason.&quot;\n\n&quot;Hi, Jason!  I\'m Erin.  Oh, I think I told you that already.  Well, anyway, you\'re a really good listener!&quot;\n\n&quot;And you are an enthusiastic conversationalist,&quot; Jason replied diplomatically.  &quot;But I\'m sorry about your divorce.&quot;\n\nShe sighed.  &quot;Thanks.&quot;  She turned to stare wistfully out the little window next to her seat, and Jason waited cautiously for a few minutes—just in case—before settling back for a nap.\n\nErin wondered how Brian was feeling now.  Was he angry?  Was he glad they were splitting up?  Did he feel bad about the things he\'d said?  [i:1espluh1]He was so nice when we met.  What happened?[/i:1espluh1]\n\n\n\n[i:1espluh1]&quot;Hello there, little lady.&quot;  Erin looked up to see a dark-haired man with a round face and a confident smirk wink at her.  &quot;Is this seat taken?&quot;  He pointed to the chair next to her at the café table.\n\n&quot;Well, no,&quot; she replied, flustered.  She\'d been engrossed in her novel, a spy thriller that had just gotten to an exciting part when he interrupted her.  As he sat, she put aside the book, picked up her long-neglected coffee mug, and sipped—then grimaced as she realized she\'d ignored it long enough for it to become cold.\n\nNoticing her reaction, the man motioned for a waiter.  &quot;Let me buy you a fresh cup,&quot; he offered.\n\n&quot;Thank you.&quot;  Erin glanced wistfully at her novel, but good manners won out and she looked back at her new companion.  &quot;I\'m Erin.&quot;\n\n&quot;My name is Brian, and I\'m thrilled beyond words to meet you.&quot;\n\nErin tried not to roll her eyes at the insincerity as Brian asked the waiter for two cups of coffee.  [/i:1espluh1]He\'s almost as bad as the guys at the country club, [i:1espluh1]she thought as she tucked a stray lock of red hair behind her ear.\n\n&quot;So,&quot; Brian said, turning his attention and his smarmy grin back to her.  &quot;What do you do for a living?&quot;\n\n&quot;I work at the Leeville Historical Society.  I just came from there, actually.&quot;\n\n&quot;That sounds interesting.&quot;\n\n&quot;It really isn\'t,&quot; she replied abruptly.  &quot;I mostly answer phones and file stuff.&quot;  She watched him falter as he ran out of responses, then relented a little.  &quot;What do you do?&quot;\n\nBrian was silent for just enough time for Erin to become curious.  Then, glancing around, he said, &quot;I really shouldn\'t say in such a public place.&quot;\n\nErin\'s second cup of coffee joined the first in utter neglect.  &quot;What do you mean?&quot; she whispered.\n\n&quot;Well, I suppose you could call it a government job, but specifically....&quot;  He held a finger to his lips, then pulled out a pen and scrawled something on a napkin.  He pushed it across the table to her, allowing his hand to brush hers as she took the napkin from him.\n\nErin lifted her hand to read one word: &quot;INTELLIGENCE.&quot;\n\n&quot;Ohhh,&quot; she murmured.  &quot;You mean you work for, like, the—&quot;\n\nBrian shook his head quickly to silence her, then took back the napkin and dunked it in a water glass.  &quot;I can\'t go into details here.  However, my apartment is secure.  If you\'d allow me to escort you there, it should be safe to explain.&quot;\n\nErin nodded, breathless, as Brian stood and offered her his hand.[/i:1espluh1]','3f954cd70a8bb2bbbd3b021be4c744bb',0,'ZA==','1espluh1',1,1299507794,'',30,5,0),(465307,31096,16,39,0,'78.144.59.93',1299534468,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: International release - monitoring report','Still monitoring.

The younger of the two (with pixie-length red hair and wearing a \'cute\' pink shirt with the logo of The Matrix emblazoned on the front and blue jeans) was walking ahead in agitation. She turned to her sister. “Stop following me, Daria!” She said. She walked on but she could tell that her Misanthropic sister was still following her. “You\'re still following me!”\n\nA contrast to her geeky, yet popular, sister; (with her \'manstopper\' glasses, green jacket, mustard-colored t-shirt, black pleated skirt and large boots) Daria Morgendorffer shook her head, causing her long (mostly) auburn hair to blow about in the wind. “We go to the same school,” she said, in a near monotone.\n\nQuinn shook her head. “That doesn\'t mean we have to go along the same route!” she shouted. \'She could be walking with Jane or catching a lift with Jennifer!\' she thought. She then saw three of the boys whom also went to Lawndale High approaching.\n\n“Hey, Quinn, can I carry your books?” Joey Green asked.\n\n“Hey, Quinn, can I carry your laptop?” Jeffy Brown asked.\n\n“Hey, Quinn, can I carry your... uh... got anything else?” Jamie White asked.\n\n\'I could get used to this, and it has to get to Daria,\' Quinn thought. She took a clip out of her hair and handed it to Jamie. “You can carry this hairclip,” she said.\n\n“Great!” Jamie said.\n\n\n“Careful, don\'t hurt yourself with that clip! Or with that laptop!” Daria said as she left the vicinity of her sister and her admirers. \'This is something I can write about,\' she thought as she looked prior to crossing the street.\n\n\n“Is that your sister?” Jamie asked.\n\n“It is, Jeremy,” Quinn said, with a sigh.\n\n“I\'m [i:e0x37bwq]Jamie[/i:e0x37bwq].” It seemed that no one at Lawndale High could remember his name. \'It was like that all through Middle School too!\' he thought.\n\n\nAt recess, Jamie and his friends approached their teammates Kevin Thompson (the quarterback) and Michael \'Mack\' Mackenzie.\n\nKevin was saying “Now I I remember! The party\'s to celebrate her parents being out of town.”\n“Hey, Joey, Jeffy, Jeremy.”\n\n“I\'m [i:e0x37bwq]Jamie[/i:e0x37bwq],” he said. \'What is it with people calling me Jeremy today. First Quinn and now the idiot junior-varsity QB!\'\n\n“Whatever. You going to Brittany\'s party?” Kevin asked.\n\n“Uh, if we\'re invited,” Joey said, as Quinn approached.\n\n“You\'re on the team, dudes. When a cheerleader has a party, all the football players are automatically invited,” Kevin said.\n\n“It\'s on page six of the play book,” Mack said with a sarcastic tone, whilst marveling at the sillyness of the high school social order and the rituals it entailed.\n\nMack\'s sarcasm went over the top of Kevin\'s head, as usual. “Really?” he asked. He turned to Quinn. “Hey, Quinn, what about you?”\n\n“You want me to go to your girlfriend\'s party?” she asked.\n\n“Sure!” Kevin said, unfazed.\n\n“Sure,” Quinn said. \'My first real party in Lawndale! I hope it doesn\'t get as rough as those in Highland!\'\n\nJoey, Jeffy and Jamie fell over themselves trying to ask Quinn out to the party...\n\n\n“...and so he invited me to Brittany\'s party. Is that weird or what?” Quinn asked her friends at lunch.\n\n“You don\'t know Kevin. That is rather par for the course for him,” Cindy Robertson said.\n\n“It is still a bit weird though. It is not often that a new kid is invited to a cheerleader\'s party,” Kristen Bell said.\n\n“Well, I am curious as to how a party in Lawndale would go,” Quinn admitted.\n\n“Would you bring me with?” Kristen asked.\n\n“I would consider it,” Quinn said.\n\n“That would be cool,” Kristen said.\n\n“It would be her first High School party,” Cindy said.\n\n“Really?” Quinn asked, incredulous.\n\n“My first party since the summer, anyway,” Kristen said. “I was invited to one or two high schooler parties in eighth grade.”\n\n“Ok,” Quinn said, smiling.\n\n“I would like to go also,” Cindy said.\n\n“I will see what I can do,” Quinn said.\n\n“You\'re going to ask Brittany?” Kristen asked.\n\n“Maybe,” Quinn said, thinking.\n\n\nQuinn approached Jennifer Burns as the latter exited her maths class. “Hi Quinn, how was today?” Jennifer asked.\n\n“Mostly cool, but Kevin invited me to Brittany\'s party this weekend. That is so weird,” Quinn said.\n\n“That\'s strange,” Jennifer said.\n\n“Yeah,” Quinn said.\n\n“That\'s not what I meant,” Jennifer said, with a quizzical look on her face.\n\n“Oh?”\n\n“I mean, Kevin invites you to Brittany\'s party, whilst Brittany invites Daria to her party.”\n\n“Why would Brittany do that? I mean, the only people that Daria likes are you and Jane,” Quinn said, wondering (more at why Brittany was inviting Daria to anything more than anything else).\n\n“Daria said that she helped Brittany with One-Point Perspective in art class, and that Brittany had invited her as a favour,” Jennifer explained.\n\n\'That explains it,\' Quinn thought. Something else intreagued her though. “Really?” she asked.\n\n“Yeah,” Jennifer said.\n\n“No, I mean Brittany needed help with One Point Perspective?”\n\n“Yeah,”\n\n“I wonder how she got out of elementary school?” Quinn asked.\n\n“You and me both,” Jennifer said with a slight laugh.\n\n“Anyway, there is still the fact that Kevin invited me, and now Cindy and Kristen want me to get them in too,” Quinn said.\n\nJennifer was in thought. “You have to figure that one out yourself,” she said.\n\n“Yeah,” Quinn said.','ea75ec3ca256c274071b9bd5bb515d5c',0,'YA==','e0x37bwq',1,1305891032,'',1139,6,0),(463546,32049,6,542,0,'68.62.209.16',1298694690,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: For Better or For Worse, For Richer or For Poorer (Part','[quote=&quot;Kristen Bealer&quot;:yyja9yxe][quote=&quot;thatLONERchick&quot;:yyja9yxe]Oh, that smarmy jerk  <!-- s:x --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mad.gif\" alt=\":x\" title=\"Mad\" /><!-- s:x -->  I doubt you\'ll be able to draw Brian in a sympathetic light, but I\'m looking forward to seeing where this goes. <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D -->\n\nOh, and by the way:\n\n[quote:yyja9yxe]wanted him to come [b:yyja9yxe]to[/b:yyja9yxe][/quote:yyja9yxe]\nShould be [b:yyja9yxe]too[/b:yyja9yxe].   <!-- s;) --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif\" alt=\";)\" title=\"Wink\" /><!-- s;) -->[/quote:yyja9yxe]\n\nHoly crap, someone actually made it through that wall of text?  <!-- s:shock: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif\" alt=\":shock:\" title=\"Shocked\" /><!-- s:shock: --> \n\nKristen[/quote:yyja9yxe]\n\nOf course we do.

Angela Li didn\'t need to be told that something was wrong.  The mere change in the level of ambient noise was something a principal could understand immediately.  She had been looking out the window, but apparently Lawndale\'s visitors came in from another direction.\n\n&quot;Principal Li!&quot; Checkers said, out of breath.  &quot;The Chinese are here!&quot;\n\nIt had finally happened.  The Chesapeake Line had been crossed, and the People\'s Liberation Army was coming to liberate Lawndale, if not of its freedom then at least of its current system of government.  She didn\'t need to see it; the sound of student footsteps made up a thunder of their own.\n\n&quot;Thank you, Nina.  Return to your classrooms, I\'ll make an announcement.&quot;\n\nLi stood up, and then kicked the desk - hard.  &quot;Son of a bitch!&quot; she cried to no one.  But she had seen it coming.  She flipped on the intercom.\n\n&quot;Attention, students - this is your principal!  As you are well aware, this is something we have expected for a long time!  Return to your classrooms immediately, and do not, I repeat, do [i:20w1vdg5]not[/i:20w1vdg5] leave the school grounds until we can be sure that we can return all of you to your homes safety.  Just remember, students - your peaceful behavior brings glorrry to Llllllanwdale High!&quot;\n\nShe hit the [i:20w1vdg5]mute[/i:20w1vdg5] switch and cleared her throat.  I need to see the Executive Team members immediately.   Only members of the Executive Team that have Executive Team Gold Medal Training should report to the Principal\'s Office immediately!&quot;\n\nIt was a joke.  There was no Executive Team; there never had been.  But the members of this fictional committee knew who they were, and within one minute, they were all assembled.\n\nMr. O\'Neill.  Ms. DeMartino.  Mrs. Bennett.  Ms. Barch.  Ms. DeFoe.  \n\n&quot;Oh dear,&quot; Mr. O\'Neill said.  &quot;Why did it have to come to this?  Why?  [i:20w1vdg5]Why?[/i:20w1vdg5]&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, now what the HELL do we DO?&quot; DeMartino growled.\n\nPrincipal Li motioned to follow.  As the teachers followed her, the students were already been called to the gym, led by Ms. Morris to wait for further instructions.  [i:20w1vdg5]I told Morris that she was on the Executive Team[/i:20w1vdg5], Li said, [i:20w1vdg5]but that was a lie.  She can hold the fort down for a while.[/i:20w1vdg5]\n\nAs the hallways were virtually empty, Principal Li led the group of instructors into a supply closet.  Moving some cans out the way, she revealed a one-centimeter cap between the bottom of the wall and the end of the floor.  Using her fingers, she swung the wall on a pivot towards them, and it opened towards them like a doggie door.  The six of them crawled inside.\n\nInside the room was a virtual arsenal.  Several stacked M240s and other deadly death-dealing ordinance.  Lines of grenades.  Materials for raw explosives.  If someone lit a match, Lawndale High School would be a crater visible from the moon.\n\n&quot;From this moment forward,&quot; Li said, &quot;we forget the past.&quot;  She reached over to a radio and pulled a calculator from her coat pocket.  Clicking some buttons to generate a theoretically random number, she entered the number into the radio and waited.\n\nBennett walked over.  &quot;This is Lieutenant Bennett looking for the Colonel.  Come in, Colonel.&quot;\n\nA voice which sounded like that of Dennis Haysbert crackled over the sound waves.  &quot;[i:20w1vdg5]This is the Colonel[/i:20w1vdg5],&quot; it said.  &quot;[i:20w1vdg5]The Cheseapeake has been overrun.  We are unable to defend your position.

What are our orders?&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:20w1vdg5]You work under your own initiative now[/i:20w1vdg5],&quot; the Colonel said.  &quot;[i:20w1vdg5]You are to harass, hinder, delay, confuse, or terminate the enemy to the best of your capabilities.  As of now, I\'m needed elsewhere.  From now on, you will report to Commander X on this same channel.[/i:20w1vdg5]&quot;\n\n&quot;Commander who?&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:20w1vdg5]He - or [b:20w1vdg5]she[/b:20w1vdg5] - is the other member of your squad.  I know that all of you have been under deep cover since you graduated from Special Forces. But Commander X is under cover so deep that I can\'t reveal his or her identity.  Commander X is Special Black Box Recon Intelligence.  Commander X\'s identity must remain secret, even from you.[/i:20w1vdg5]&quot;\n\n&quot;When will we rise?&quot; Angela asked, and Claire\'s face turned ashen.\n\n&quot;[i:20w1vdg5][b:20w1vdg5]You\'ll rise in fifteen[/b:20w1vdg5].  I figure fifteen days[/i:20w1vdg5],&quot; the Colonel said, &quot;[i:20w1vdg5]so I wouldn\'t waste any time. This is a Code Thirty.  Repeat, a Code Thirty.  See you in Valhalla.  Good luck.[/i:20w1vdg5]&quot;\n\n[i:20w1vdg5]We\'ll rise in fifteen[/i:20w1vdg5], Angela thought.

Wait, its two faces, staring down at me. Am I on the ground? Yes, I am. How did that happen?\nA muffled voice is saying something, and I think it’s one of the faces saying it. I squint my eyes, and can almost make out the faces. I feel a hand on each arm as I am pulled to my feet. Everything is still a blur, and I lose my balance and start to fall, but the hands hold me tight, keeping me upright.\nThe black hair is in front of me now, saying something that I can’t understand. Something cold is put on my face, and the world comes into sharp focus. A girl is in front of me, still talking. I shake my head and feel it clearing. No longer lightheaded, I pull my arm loose of the hands. Fighting back the urge to vomit again, I close my eyes tight. I feel myself get shaken hard, and suddenly the girl’s voice comes into focus.\n‘DARIA! Are you ok?!”\nI open my eyes, and the girl stops shaking me.\n“Talk to me, amiga. Are you ok? You got hit pretty hard there.”\n“Daria?” Another voice now, a guy. I look over and it’s the brown hair from before. He looks scared.\n“What happened?” I ask, afraid of the answer.\n“I don’t know. We were walking, and you fell down and now you’ve got a nasty bump on your head. You were out for a second there. Does your head hurt?”\n“Yeah,” I say, slowly backing up from the two of them.\n“Daria? What’s wrong?” the guy asks, concern in his eyes as he watches me back off.\n“Can either of you tell me who I am?”\nThey look at each other, obviously concerned.\n“You’re Daria Morgendorffer. You’re also scaring the hell out of me, amiga.”\nThe guy comes a little closer and says softly, “I’m not going to hurt you, but I need to look at your eyes, ok?”\nI nodd, and stare into his eyes as he looks into mine. His gaze is analytical, but had concern in it too.\n“She needs to look at your eyes too, ok?” I nod again. “Jane, look.”\nThe girl looks at my eyes, and I saw pure, naked fear in them.\n“Jane, stay here.

Maybe you want something else? Spaghetti, maybe? Or fried chicken?&quot;\n\n&quot;NO! PIZZA!&quot; She\'s almost smiling. This is a game they\'ve played for months.\n\n&quot;OK, kiddo. Pizza it is!&quot;\n\n&quot;YAY!&quot;\n\nShe\'s at the dinner table with her sister and adoptive parents. She knows she\'s loved and protected. She knows that they will never hurt her, never hit her, never... She doesn\'t think about THAT. She doesn\'t think about what happened to her, back at the old house. In Greyfield.\n\nShe eats her pizza and drinks her milk. She\'s happy. She looks at her little sister, also eating pizza. She knows that she doesn\'t have to protect her as much as she had to do, back at the old house. She knows that Quinn is happy and safe, here in Highland.\n\nThe family talks about everything. School, the trip to the petting zoo that day, what books Daria wants to get from the library after school Monday, the new shoes Quinn wants, the new tights Quinn wants, the new skirt and top Quinn wants. They decide what movie to rent for Sunday movie and popcorn night.\n\nLittle 7 year old Daria is as happy as she\'s ever been in her life, in The Highland Dream.\n\nIn The Greyfield Dream, not so much.\n\nShe hears her father yelling her name, telling her to get her ass outta that fucking box right now.\n\nShe knows never to keep her father waiting. She crawls out of the box as fast as she can.\n\nHer father grabs her arm and yanks her to her feet.\n\n&quot;C\'mon, you got someone who wants to meet you. You\'re gonna make Daddy some money!&quot;\n\nWhen it\'s over, she\'s naked and curled up under the blanket on the filthy, stinking bed she shares with her sister. Through the opened door of the bedroom, she hears her father making a deal with the man that just left her room. Her father is going to sell her to that man. Along with her sister. Her father sounds like he\'s drunk. Again.\n\nShe thinks of the knife she found on the sidewalk a few months ago. It\'s sharp and pointy. She wonders how many times she could stab her father before he killed her. Until now, she\'d only thought and fantasized about killing her father. She knows she probably couldn\'t hurt him enough that he\'d die. And after she was dead, who would be there to protect her little sister?\n\nShe wonders how drunk her father is. Is he drunk enough that she could hurt him enough that he\'d die? Then what? She knew her mother had sisters, and that one of those sisters lived in Texas. But Texas is a big state. All she knew about that sister was her first name. Helen. There had to be a LOT of people in Texas named Helen. Maybe even a whole thousand people. That was a lot.\n\nShe\'ll worry about that later. She pulls on her old dress. She goes to the place in her room where she keeps the knife hidden. She pulls the baseboard away from the wall in the closet and reaches into the hole she carefully made in the plaster and wood strips. She finds the little cigarbox she found in a trash can. There\'s a picture of a pretty lady with black hair and a red dress on the lid. She has three silver rings in her ears.\n\nInside the box is the knife. There\'s also money she\'s stolen from her father over the past two years. Almost 50 whole dollars. She\'s used this money to buy food for her and her sister when her parents were \'away\'.\n\nQuinn knows about the hiding place and the money. She\'s to use it to get away from the house and their parents if anything happens to Daria.\n\nShe has to wait for the other man to leave. He\'s talking and laughing with her father. Her father is telling the man that he and his wife are going to go out drinking, and he\'ll let the other man know when he can come pick up the girls and take them away.\n\nThe little cigarbox and money is safely back in the hiding place, with the baseboard back where it belongs. She sits there, holding the knife. She didn\'t hear her father come into the bedroom. When he sees that the closet door is wide open, he swears. He sees that the old VHS camcorder is in place and still running. He sees his daughter, cowering in the corner, holding a knife in her hands.\n\n&quot;What the fuck you gonna do with that? You gonna stick someone with that? You gonna stick ME with that?&quot;\n\nHe grabs the camcorder and her hand, the hand holding the knife. He drags her into the living room and flings her into a corner. She\'s stunned as her head hits the wall, leaving another dent in the plaster. One among many. She doesn\'t know where the knife is. All she knows is that she\'s not holding it and she\'s scared, so scared that she wets herself, leaving a stain on the carpet. One among many.\n\nHer father yells at her. &quot;Don\'t you fucking MOVE! You hear me?&quot;\n\nShe nods. That\'s the best way. Speaking often gets her slapped or worse.\n\nHer father pulls the tape cassette from the camera and sticks it in the VCR atop the TV set. He rewinds it and pushes the PLAY button.\n\nThe little girl in the corner squeezes her eyes shut and covers her ears with her hands.\n\nThe next thing she knows, her father has kicked her. She looks up at him. He\'s got a gun in his hand and is pointing it at her. He\'s drunk and unsteady on his feet.\n\n&quot;You listen to me! Me and your ma are going out. You don\'t move. At all. I come back, and find you anywhere but right there, I\'ll fucking kill you! You hear?&quot;\n\nShe nods again.\n\nThe sound of the gun going off scares her more than anything ever has in her life. She feels the bullet hitting the wall next to her ear, she feels the bits of plaster hitting the side of her head, she feels the hot bits of gunpowder hitting her face.\n\nShe barely hears her mother yelling at her father.\n\nShe barely hears the sound of the backhand slap across her mother\'s face.\n\nShe barely hears the front door slam and the car starting, driving away.\n\nShe doesn\'t move from the corner until someone forces open the front door a few days later.\n\nShe doesn\'t move when a Texas Ranger squats down in front of her and speaks to her.\n\nShe doesn\'t move when the Ranger picks her up and tells someone she needs to get to a hospital.\n\nIt\'s at the hospital, after she\'s been cleaned up and giving a clean nightgown that ties up the back, when the Ranger and a nice lady tell her that her parents are dead.\n\nThey didn\'t expect to hear the little girl laughing and crying at the same time.\n\nBoth dreams are nothing more than replays of actual events in her life.\n\nThe Highland Dream always leaves her happy and smiling in her sleep.\n\nThe Greyfield Dream always leaves her awake and screaming.\n\nShe hasn\'t had The Greyfield Dream for over ten years.\n\nThanks to the gunshot sound of a blownout tire, an overload of Adrenaline, physical and emotional exhaustion, The Greyfield Dream has come back.\n\nAll her roommate can do to help her is to hold her and dial the telephone with one hand, calling her roommate\'s best friend in the whole world.\n\nAs 19 year old Daria Morgendorffer clings to her and weeps.\n\nThe ambulance soon arrives. Daria and Connie in the ambulance. Daria still weeping, Connie holding her friend\'s hand.\n\nJane hits the doors to the Emergency room like a force of nature. She\'s soon speaking with the psych resident, explaining to her about her friend. Daria\'s mother is soon on the phone, giving the resident the phone number of her daughter\'s therapist in Lawndale. She also gives permission for treatment to begin as the resident and Emergency room attending physician think best.\n\nLater, as a nurse orders them away from their friend\'s bed, the look the two girls give the nurse has him turning tail and briskly leaving the scene.\n\nAs they sit there, watching their friend, Jane explains about The Greyfield Dream.\n\nAs the details emerge, Connie Tran, Daria\'s roommate at Raft University grows paler and paler. She quickly excuses herself and makes it to the bathroom in time to throw up into the toilet.\n\n&quot;[i:kyiqc46o]Yeah, that was pretty much my reaction when Daria told me about it. Didn\'t make it to the bathroom, though.[/i:kyiqc46o]&quot; She explained the smell and stain on the hall carpet to Trent as &quot;one of those girly things that happens once a month&quot;. That was enough for Trent to never ever ask about it again.\n\nConnie flushed the toilet and washed her face at the sink.\n\nShe resumed her seat by Daria\'s bedside.\n\nJane spoke softly to her.\n\n&quot;So, here\'s what\'s going to happen, she\'ll try to explain the dream. Cut her right off and tell her I told you everything. She doesn\'t need that trauma right now.&quot;\n\n&quot;OK. Is she going to be all right?&quot;\n\n&quot;Probably. If nothing else, it\'s out of her system, now. Dammit! She needs to find a therapist up here, and soon. I\'m gonna call her old therapist back in Lawndale and get on her ass about getting her a referral.&quot;\n\nThe two sat in silence by the bedside, watching the slow rise and fall of Daria\'s chest as she slept. Each girl holding one of their friend\'s hands, hoping that she somehow knew she wasn\'t alone.\n\nIt was 4 AM when the psych resident came by to check on her patient.\n\n&quot;How\'s she doing?&quot;\n\n&quot;Jane, is it? She\'s doing well. Pulse, B.P., respiration, temperature, all good. She\'ll probably transition directly to normal sleep as the sedative wears off. If she\'s awake by noon, I\'ll be surprised. Any idea what triggered the event?&quot;\n\n&quot;She calls it \'The Greyfield Dream\'. It all goes back to her early childhood in Texas...&quot;\n\nConnie interrupted. &quot;Look, I don\'t need to hear this again. I\'m going to see if I can find coffee. You two want me to bring back anything?&quot;\n\nThe resident directed her to the staff lounge and told her to mention her name if there were any questions. Jane wanted a large with two sugars. &quot;REAL Sugar. Not that synthetic crap.&quot;\n\nThe resident declined coffee, but if there were any teabags left in the box by the coffeemaker, some tea would be just the thing.\n\nConnie left and Jane filled in the resident. When she was finished, the resident was more than a little green around the gills. &quot;And you say that this is the first time in ten years or so she had this dream? Jesus! I\'d be in the proverbial rubber room if I endured half of that.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah, she\'s tough. Having a family that loves her and supports her helps a lot.&quot;\n\n&quot;I can imagine. So, listen. I think whatever doctor that catches her case is going to want to talk with you about her. Talk a lot.&quot; She turned to leave, turning back. &quot;You know, as trite as this sounds, you two need to be there for her. That\'ll go a long way in helping her cope with this episode. Do you know if her family is coming?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah. They\'re probably outrunning the New Jersey State Police about now. If her father is driving, that is. If it\'s her mother, they\'re probably just now passing the Delaware border into Jersey. Her sister is probably a tub of goo in the backseat right now.&quot;\n\nThe resident had a somewhat wry smile on her face. &quot;Little sister?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yep, by about a year and a half or so.&quot;\n\n&quot;Thought so. I\'ve got a \'little sister\', too. I\'ll look in again around 6. If there\'s a change for the worse, hit that big red button and get out of the way.&quot;\n\n&quot;Sure thing. Hey, thanks for everything.&quot;\n\n&quot;No problem.&quot;\n\nAt this, Connie came into the room, with tea for the resident and coffees for her and Jane.\n\nJane\'s phone buzzed in her pocket. &quot;Betcha a nickel that\'s her folks.&quot; She answered the phone.\n\n&quot;Hi, Quinn! Yeah, she\'s doing OK. Sleeping peacefully. The doctor was just in here checking up. So, look, she\'s probably not going to be awake until noon or so. Find a motel someplace in Boston or Brookline or Cambridge, get some sleep. I\'ll stay here with her..&quot; &quot;Me, too!&quot; &quot;\'Me, too\', says Connie, so she\'ll be covered for family until you guys get here. Where are you, by the way? New Jersey? You can see the New York City skyline? Damn! That was fast. Oh, right. She\'s at Brigham and Women\'s. Your father knows where that is, it\'s near BFAC. Yeah, there\'s parking. Right, See you soon.&quot;\n\nJane hung up the phone. She looked at her sleeping friend\'s face.\n\n&quot;You just can\'t catch a break, can you?&quot; She whispered to herself.','02e2a52b9843677abe3a88b047b29f00',0,'cA==','kyiqc46o',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463573,31919,3,562,0,'110.32.24.3',1298701926,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The Completely Random Post Thread: Common Cold Edition','[url=http&#58;//australianmuseum&#46;net&#46;au/Drop-Bear:q5wirj4a]And people reckon naturalists have no sense of humour...[/url:q5wirj4a]','ac2650f341efa28a00242af0e4564377',0,'EA==','q5wirj4a',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463584,32048,11,59,0,'98.214.72.176',1298707503,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Esteemsters: is Pizza Forest located in Highland?','[quote=&quot;vlademir1&quot;:2e96403y][quote=&quot;Brother Grimace&quot;:2e96403y]Simple answer for this one. \n\n\n[i:2e96403y]It\'s a [u:2e96403y]franchise[/u:2e96403y].[/i:2e96403y] One in Highland, one in Lawndale, one on LV-426... <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D -->[/quote:2e96403y]\n\nIt [i:2e96403y]could[/i:2e96403y] be a [url=http&#58;//en&#46;wikipedia&#46;org/wiki/Franchising:2e96403y]franchise[/url:2e96403y], or just a corporate chain, but I doubt it\'s a small independently owned thing.[/quote:2e96403y]\n\n\nThat\'s what I meant.

You\'d be surprised. At first I thought it was just a rumor, but all that changed because of Lindsay Lowhands. We were having a little ... disagreement.\n\nStaci: Was that when she and you were fighting over Aaron Carpenter, former lead singer of the Eromenos Boys?\n\nHilary Dorff: (embarassed) Yes, it was.\n\nStaci: Didn\'t he turn out to be gay or something?\n\nHilary Dorff: At any rate, we were locked in a fierce love triange, Aaron, Lindsay and I. One day, I got a note from Aaron. He wanted to meet in a part of the building I had never been to before. I had my reservations but he said it would be private. It took me a long time but when I found the room, it was pitch dark and acrid, like urine or formaldehyde. It must have been a mistake, I thought, and as I turned to leave, someone ambushed me pushed me inside and locked the door behind me. It was the night of the Nisdey Viewer\'s Choice Awards and when I picked up the tabloids the next day, I found out that Lowhands had gone to the ceremony with Carpenter. But more important was what I discovered was locked away in the room. When I found a light switch, I flipped it on and found myself face to face with a cryogenically suspended Robin Simone.\n\nStaci: That\'s where she went! After her show, &quot;That\'s So Robin,&quot; finished up, it\'s like she just disappeared.\n\nHilary Dorff: Yes. Later I learned that when her show was canceled, the doctors here at Nisdey put her on suicide watch.  One day security searched her bag and found ... oh it\'s too terrible to say.\n\nStaci: What? A gun? Explosives?  \n\nHilary Dorff: No, some Nisdey letterhead. \n\nStaci: So the Nisdey people locked her in cryogenic suspension as punishment? Ummm ... that\'s overreacting a tad, don\'t you think?  \n\nHilary Dorff: Are you kidding? She got off easy. At any rate, from then on out, I knew the psych ward was real. (After a brief silence) After a while, I got good at reading personalities. When new talent arrived here at Nisdey, I could already tell who would make it big and who would just make it to the psych ward. I knew the drill. It\'s was written on their faces, like a script waiting to play out. The fresh talent comes in all excited, like they just got the lead in their school play or made the cheer leading squad. At first, with the cameras, the makeup artists, the producers and catering everyday, it\'s like living in a carnival, but after a while, keeping perspective on things becomes difficult.\n\nStarfire: What do you mean?\n\nStaci: You mean, like people like Miley Cyprus begins to buy her own hype?  Does she come to believe that she\'s really Rina Argentina or something?\n\nHilary Dorff: No, it\'s not really becoming delusional like that. And it\'s not simply staying away from the drugs and partying of the Hollywood scene, although that\'s part of it. It\'s about coming to the realization that nobody, and I mean [i:7ecdl4kf]nobody[/i:7ecdl4kf], not your parents, not your agent, not the Nisdey suits who cut your paychecks, not the producers and directors who smile at you so warmly or even your adoring fans, has your best interest at heart. You learn this very quickly, but then comes the hard part: learning to accept this reality before it destroys you, before you\'re just another victim. In some ways, I\'m grateful that my career was destroyed and I was forced out of Nisdey. Honestly, I wouldn\'t have survived all the castle intrigue much longer. I can see that now. I would have floundered fast, like Ophelia, scrupulous that her melody was pitch perfect as she was being carried down the river into the ocean.\n\nDaria: So tell me, Debbie Downer, when do we reach the psych ward?\n\nHilary Dorff: They keep the psych ward in the most secure part of the building. The easiest way to reach it is through the Darkwater training facility.\n\nRaven: Darkwater?

As they moved, she realized that they were faces, and those faces were further attached to bodies, but she couldn\'t make out the details.  One of the blobs moved forward as the other stepped back.\n\n&quot;Hello?&quot; she ([i:22pms6l7]it\'s a woman\'s voice no a girl\'s[/i:22pms6l7]) said.  &quot;Can you hear me?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yuh,&quot; she mumbled back, feeling as if her entire mouth was full of cotton.  &quot;Whu . . . ?&quot;\n\n&quot;Just relax,&quot; the girl told her, putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder.  &quot;It takes a little while to clear up.  No one here is gonna hurt you.&quot;\n\n&quot;Does she ([i:22pms6l7]a man a boy agitated so agitated[/i:22pms6l7]) remember anything?&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m getting to that,&quot; the other girl snapped.\n\nShe scoured her mind and began to panic as she found huge gaps, completely empty.  No name, no past, no sense of self, no anything.  There was knowledge, but it was all generalized.  She knew what a car was.  She knew how a light bulb worked.  She knew how the concept of Manifest Destiny had been used to justify the Spanish-American War.\n\nBut everything about herself was gone.  Simply ([i:22pms6l7]help me help me oh god help me[/i:22pms6l7]) gone.\n\n&quot;I don\'t . . . &quot; she managed, then swallowed.  &quot;I don\'t . . . remember.&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:22pms6l7]Great![/i:22pms6l7]&quot; the boy yelled, then swore as he kicked something.\n\n&quot;Who . . . ?&quot;\n\nThe other girl\'s face was finally starting to come into focus, but the expression she was wearing didn\'t promise anything good.  &quot;Sorry, amiga,&quot; she said sadly.  &quot;We\'re just as clueless as you are.  But I think we can solve one mystery real quick!&quot;\n\nReaching over, the other girl picked something up and handed it to her.  Squinting, she could see that they were a pair of round-lens glasses with thick black frames.  She looked up at the other girl and back down at the glasses, then slowly put them on.\n\nThe world suddenly jumped into clarity, only slightly blurred around the edges where her eyes were slightly watering.\n\n&quot;Oh,&quot; she said faintly.\n\nThe girl squatting next to her was a lean figure.  She looked to have no spare anything on her, though she managed to make it look healthy in a way.  She was wiry, not emaciated.  One side of her short jet black hair hung almost over her right eye while the other side was pulled back to reveal three chrome rings sitting in her pierced ear.  Her clothes were mostly black and red, and the fact that she was wearing heavy boots seemed odd to the girl until she realized she was wearing a similar pair herself.\n\nThe boy was a brunette and seemed clean cut, and his earth-tone clothes screamed of someone who was trying far too hard to be casual.  Both they and his hair had a sort of carefully-rumpled look that made her stomach twist instinctively.  His face looked like it would be pleasant enough to look at if he\'d simply stop scowling ([i:22pms6l7]control he doesn\'t like not being in control of the situation[/i:22pms6l7]) for just a few seconds.\n\nBesides the heavy boots, she herself was wearing a short black skirt, a t-shirt of an almost unidentifiable color, and a dark green jacket.  If it was a normal bit of attire for her, she couldn\'t tell.  It seemed almost like the leftovers from a Salvation Army bin.\n\nTurning her attention away from the room\'s inhabitants, she started looking over the room itself which was small and mostly bare.  The ceiling and upper walls were a uniform navy blue while everything from approximately waist-height down was a sort of dark grey rubberized surface ([i:22pms6l7]padded walls barred windows an institution away from institution[/i:22pms6l7]) with uniform shallow valleys running horizontal every few inches.  These valleys ran both ways on the floor, leaving the rubber there in the shape of raised tiles.\n\nSeveral of what looked like small metal crates were strewn about the edges of the room, just the right size for sitting on and with no readily apparent openings.  In the very middle sat a wide column that ran from ceiling to floor seamlessly and had several rows of what seemed to be panels all along its surface.  Panels that further appeared to be locked with massive latches.\n\nAnd thinking of panels . . .\n\n&quot;No need to strain yourself looking,&quot; the other girl said, following her searching gaze.  &quot;There aren\'t any doors.  At least, none we\'ve been able to find.&quot;\n\n&quot;This is impossible,&quot; she moaned as she allowed herself to be pulled to a standing position.\n\n&quot;No kidding,&quot; the boy replied, rolling his eyes.  &quot;We just-&quot;\n\nHe was interrupted by a massive blast of sound that came from every direction.  The girl threw her hands across her ears as the others did the same, but the noise still made it through, blaring almost as loud as a passing jet engine.\n\nStrangely, she began to notice that the sounds had a sort of rhythm to them.  Once she noticed, she tried to listen as carefully as she could through the cushioning of her palms, and sure enough there was a ([i:22pms6l7]words they\'re words it\'s a language[/i:22pms6l7]) repeated pattern.\n\nThe noise stopped, allowing the three of them to lower their hands and breathe in sighs of relief.  Then just as they were starting to relax, several heavy [i:22pms6l7]pop[/i:22pms6l7]s sounded off like gunshots as the latches on one of the column\'s panels flew wide, allowing the panel to slide downward.\n\nIn the small space revealed sat three identical levers in front of three identical panels that lit up with strange symbols that none of them recognized.\n\n&quot;What . . . what the hell is this?&quot; the boy asked, staring wide-eyed at the levers.\n\nNo one seemed inclined to answer for a few moments, then the girl stepped toward the open panel, pushed her glasses up on her nose, and frowned deeply.\n\n&quot;If I had to take a guess,&quot; she finally said in a bitter monotone, &quot;I think it\'s our first test.&quot;','0372d501ab75c94b75bef8c4f914deda',0,'IA==','22pms6l7',1,1298734808,'',885,1,0),(463579,31919,3,1125,0,'75.14.15.37',1298703191,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The Completely Random Post Thread: Common Cold Edition','[quote=&quot;The Sidhe&quot;:1lo1g0mv][url=http&#58;//australianmuseum&#46;net&#46;au/Drop-Bear:1lo1g0mv]And people reckon naturalists have no sense of humour...[/url:1lo1g0mv][/quote:1lo1g0mv]\n\n <!-- s:lol: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif\" alt=\":lol:\" title=\"Laughing\" /><!-- s:lol: --> \n\nThat was cool.

Furthermore, sanctions at this point would hinder visits with his seventeen and fifteen-year old daughters, to their detriment.&quot;\n\nThe judge said, &quot;You are surprisingly understanding, Ms. Barksdale.&quot;\n\n&quot;As much as I may be frustrated at my former husband\'s financial ineptitude, my primary concern is the well-being of my children.&quot;\n\nThe judge tapped her gavel on the bench and said, &quot;Sanctions against Jacob Morgendorffer hereby stayed.  Mr. Morgendorffer, you are a very lucky man.&quot;\n\nJake nodded.  &quot;Yes, your honor.&quot;\n\nLooking at some briefs, the judge said, &quot;But I am also going to give you some strongly considered advice.  Your consulting business is a complete and utter failure.  Admit it and move on to another job.  For your children.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes, your honor,&quot; he said.\n\nThe judge said, &quot;Good.

Come on, please allow me to have some fun, I\'m not 12 anymore.\n- My younger brother has had psychosis attacks for several years and his ranting and raving about his self fabricated betrayel of the family towards him is slowly tearing our family apart and for me family is the most important thing I have, I am probably sufferring the hardest under all of that.\n- I started 2011 with the notion of &quot;This year will be the year that I will get everything I wanted in life, a woman, a house of my own, kids, the lot, to prove to the world and most of all to myself that I can do that.&quot; and what do you know, my car died.\n\nAll of this has getting more and more to my head, I\'ve kept it hidden for everybody (even the persons who are the closest to me) but I have had urges to buy a large quantity of sleeping pills and kill myself. \n\nPeople have urged me to forget about all of that, to be the merry kind of guy I have been, I just can\'t do it, I\'m no longer that guy I used to be. Even now I still have the consideration somewhere in my head to end it, stop the endless humiliation. But that would be giving in, betrayel by others is one thing but to be betrayed by myself is something of an entirely different nature.\n\nI recently recorded a version of &quot;I did it my way&quot; and people who heard it were going &quot;Are you okay?&quot; because of hearing how much of my sufferring I put into the vocal performance.\n\nI too have been in contact with professional help to get my life back on track.','afaa7713a879d71ff3f41b3f6ce851dd',0,'','3isxiv0h',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463621,28471,6,1070,0,'205.188.117.69',1298733108,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: New write-off challenge!','I\'ll volunteer to be a judge.','7db195cd2c84f710407fe928a6b2a9a4',0,'','au8eys9o',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463622,32053,6,1070,0,'205.188.117.16',1298733499,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Dreams','<!-- s:( --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif\" alt=\":(\" title=\"Sad\" /><!-- s:( -->     just .... just  <!-- s:( --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif\" alt=\":(\" title=\"Sad\" /><!-- s:( -->  .','26b565be491c78976fdbc5d29b5699c5',0,'','1orcoh3n',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463623,32051,6,1082,0,'184.97.171.222',1298734042,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Iron Chief: Amnesia','Well Jim you certainly took my idea in a different direction, instead all three have amnesia from what I can see and they\'ve been captured by someone with some horrible experiment in mind.','aefa75ea00701227a2563f22680b82ec',0,'','34bsawnj',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463624,30321,6,933,0,'68.201.8.224',1298734167,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Raft College: The First Year, Part 42 (20 Feb 2011)','[quote=&quot;thatLONERchick&quot;:1lw3ny53]Just one thing: the story Daria submitted to Musings was about a flesh-eating bacteria, not zombies.\n\nOther than that, enjoying the story and eagerly awaiting more.[/quote:1lw3ny53]\n\n\nZombie bacteria <!-- s:) --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif\" alt=\":)\" title=\"Smile\" /><!-- s:) -->\n\n&lt;Zombie&gt;Nuuuuuuuucleiiiiii&lt;/Zombie&gt;','18035dbd7f9853c7966d3d3871655113',0,'gA==','1lw3ny53',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463625,31969,6,933,0,'68.201.8.224',1298734307,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Bound to Highland (Part 4)','<!-- s:o --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_surprised.gif\" alt=\":o\" title=\"Surprised\" /><!-- s:o -->\n<!-- s:( --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif\" alt=\":(\" title=\"Sad\" /><!-- s:( -->','a91404053223690932d1bc6509d212d5',0,'','btt0bh9x',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463626,31506,6,1127,0,'122.149.68.165',1298736380,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: 2011 Daria Fanfiction - The Finished Stories','Doggieboy seems to be out of commission, so if it\'s OK with everyone, I\'ll help out with this.

Despite the noises coming from the hallway, Dorian was sleeping soundly.  It was around seven in the morning when Daria heard two voices talking awfully close to their suite\'s door.  \n\n&quot;I\'m telling you the girl that\'s staying in this suite, Quinn, is hot!&quot;  Daria recognized the person speaking as Bobby.\n\n&quot;Oh really - why haven\'t you tried to bring her up to the Presidential Suite yet?&quot;  The other voice asked.\n\n&quot;I want to get her warmed up first.  Maybe I\'ll even invite her out to dinner.&quot;\n\n&quot;What are you going to do - ask her to eat at one of the restaurants here at the resort so that you can bill it to her parents?&quot;\n\n&quot;Of course - then I\'ll hack into the system and take it right back off.  Then I\'ll make sure Quinn thanks me for the meal.

He opened the door to see Bobby standing there with a room service cart.\n\n&quot;No one here ordered room service.  I\'m the only one up.&quot;  Dorian closed the door in his face.  [i:mg4k1s8h]I heard him and another bellboy talking this morning.  He\'s gonna try to get Quinn to go out with him.  We also need to keep an eye on anything he tries to bring Quinn.  It seems he bills the stuff to mom and dad\'s room then hacks into the computer system and removes it.[/i:mg4k1s8h]  A look of anger came over Dorian\'s face.\n\nAn hour later, Jane woke up and found Dorian doing push-ups in front of the couch.  At first, Jane was going to make a snide comment - until she saw the look on his face.  \n\n&quot;Dorian - are you okay?&quot;\n\nDorian\'s train of thought was broken by Jane\'s voice.  &quot;I am now.  Just needed to burn off a little big brother fuel.  Daria overheard Bobby and one of the other bellhops talking early this morning.  Needless to say. neither of us are happy right now.&quot;\n\nJane nodded.  &quot;So - what is on our agenda for today?&quot;\n\n&quot;Well - the Fashion Club is coming over today.  Chances are they are going to want to sit around the pool.

This doesn\'t help my heart rate any, but I ignore the fact that I almost went tumbling off into space and concentrate on turning left to run down the intersecting street.\n\nI pass another intersection before being forced to come to a stop by an impossibly high chain link fence covered in sheet plastic.  I bang my fists on it, sending waves rippling along its surface, but it remains steadfastly in my way.  I then slump forward to lean against the fence as I try to catch my breath.\n\nNot even two blocks and I\'m already feeling worn out.  But then, as much walking as I do, running has never been my forte.  That\'s always been Jane\'s bag.\n\nEventually my lungs stop burning.  The last vestiges of the Health Drink course through my veins, leaving me not refreshed but still standing and capable of walking.  I turn away from the fence and click the safety on my pistol before reholstering it.  I\'m a few shots down now, but considering it was a life or death situation, it was worth it.\n\nThe &quot;death&quot; part catches me and I nearly stumble as I make my way back to the intersection.  I almost died back there.  It wasn\'t even like with my first encounter with the runner, which I escaped mostly unharmed.  If I hadn\'t had that drink, I might have ended up bleeding to death.\n\nI need to find more Health Drinks.\n\nI need to figure out what the hell is going on here.\n\n[i:3l5l6nuo]Rules rules rules rules rules.[/i:3l5l6nuo]\n\nRight, the rules of Silent Hill.  The harpy was in my dream yesterday morning.  It looked exactly the same all the way down to the metal beak.  So the way I see it, that means one of three things.\n\nOne, I\'m still dreaming.  I reach up and press my fingers into the wound on my head and get a swift, searing edge of pain.  I kick at a rock sitting on the asphalt.  I sniff the moldy air and feel the heavy moisture settling on my skin and in my clothes.  This is no dream.  Despite the strangeness of my surroundings, everything has the gritty feel of reality to it.\n\nTwo, I\'m precognitive.  I foresaw all of this happening, and eventually I\'m going to meet up with a huge pack of demon squirrels.  Hooray.\n\nOr three, the town is feeding off of my own mind, taking things from my nightmares and making them real.  Since I\'ve never had any sign of psychic powers before, it would seem that this last option is the most likely.  Which isn\'t exactly comforting, come to think of it, especially since it still means I\'ll still be seeing demon squirrels any minute now.\n\nExcept David said that he saw the fog roll in around three days ago, which would have happened long before I saw the fog in my dream.  Of course for all I know, David was just a figment of my imagination brought to life as well.  Is that why I was so leery of him?  Could I instinctively sense that he wasn\'t real?\n\nHmm.\n\nI simply don\'t have enough information to go on yet, and it\'s got my mind tracking down blind alleys.  Which doesn\'t seem too different from what I\'m doing physically as well.  I\'ve begun to wander while lost in my own thoughts, my feet automatically turning me around every time I come across a missing road or an inexplicable wall.\n\nA runner comes at me and manages to slice through the sleeve of my jacket and cut deeply into my upper arm.  When it skids to a stop and slowly starts to turn around, I smash it in the head with my tire iron.  I hear a crack come from within, then the sound of smashing glass as the thing\'s skull dents inward with the second strike.  It makes a sort of wheezing, strangled cry as it falls to the ground and I stomp its rib cage down with my boot.\n\nI\'m bleeding again, but after the encounter with the harpy these things hardly seem worth the trouble.  I run my hand across the second Health Drink in my pocket but decide to leave it in case a real emergency comes up.  Pressing the slit fabric of my jacket against the wound, I move along.\n\nThe South Vale Shopping Center finally appears out of the mist.  I\'m just about to turn into the entrance when I suddenly notice that the dim shape of the building isn\'t the only one darkening the fog.  There\'s . . . [i:3l5l6nuo]something[/i:3l5l6nuo] in the center parking lot.  Something the shape of a small mountain, and it\'s quivering at the top.  The faint sound of crunching and grinding comes from deep inside the thing, muffled by its layers of whatever passes for skin and muscle.\n\nI can\'t make out any details, and I don\'t want to.  As surely as the thought bargain clothes shopping might draw Quinn in, the thought of a car - and possibly girl - eating mountain-monster would most definitely keep her out.  She won\'t be here.\n\nExiting the side road, I\'m once again on Munson Street, only this time I\'m on the correct end.  A few moments later and I can see a handful of cars sitting in the school parking lot.\n\nI move among these silent machines, wiping collected mist from the windows and peering in.  I don\'t have any hope of actually getting any of them to start, but my search bears fruit when I see two cans of Health Drink sitting in one of the vehicles\' passenger seats.  The doors are locked, of course, so I smash open the driver\'s side window with my iron.\n\nI should probably feel bad about doing that, but I don\'t.\n\nHolstering my weapon, I unlock and open the door, then carefully lean across to pop the lock on the passenger side door before walking around and opening it.  I put one of the drinks in my jacket pocket while I pop the other open and sit down for a moment of rest.\n\nThe wound in my arm closes up, and I can feel the short hair on my head start to wriggle out to its normal length.  The bit of cut left there from my last drink disappears completely, and the weariness from the long, wet walk starts to lift from my body.\n\nAfter a few moments of enjoying the surge from the drink, I lazily open one eye and stare down at the glove compartment.  Curiosity wells within me and I pop it open to see what I can find.\n\nMaps.  Old receipts from oil changes.  Pair of sunglasses.  Tire pressure gauge.  Title.  Maintenance manual.  Ah-[i:3l5l6nuo]ha![/i:3l5l6nuo]\n\nAmidst all the papers and other detritus, my hand clamps down on a small cylinder.  I pull the flashlight out and hit the button, lighting up the dashboard.  Like David\'s light, it has a swivel head allowing it to be placed in a breast pocket, which as it turns out my jacket lacks.  As fortune would have it, however, this little number happens to have a clip on the back which I use to hang from my jacket\'s lapel.\n\nIt\'s already dark enough in this fog.  It\'s probably only going to get darker inside buildings where there\'s no electricity, so at least now I\'m prepared.  And thank goodness.  I\'m already getting pretty tired of things catching me off guard.\n\nFeeling refreshed and ready to go, I throw the empty can in the floorboard and step back out of the car.  The door echoes creepily when I slam it shut, but I ignore the possibility of anything out there hearing it.  I walk up to the large brick building on the other side of the lot, open the front door, and step inside.','176e3a9ae0a5b9a5ed87f4615ea49d13',0,'IA==','3l5l6nuo',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463648,32011,6,885,0,'174.125.56.179',1298751528,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Someone Else\'s World (4)','[quote=&quot;thatLONERchick&quot;:3s6znjjw][quote=&quot;Quiverwing&quot;:3s6znjjw][quote=&quot;Charles RB&quot;:3s6znjjw]“Do you know a Tom Sloane?”\n\n“One of Quinn’s suitors, right?”\n\nDaria almost choked. “He [i:3s6znjjw]what[/i:3s6znjjw]?”[/quote:3s6znjjw]\nThat\'s sick, man.

The other girl looked nervous, stepping tentatively forward to examine the levers. \n\n&quot;Well, there\'s three of them,&quot; she noted. &quot;One for each of us?&quot;\n\n&quot;Maybe.&quot; The girl with glasses nodded at the strange symbols. &quot;Either of you know what those mean?&quot;\n\n&quot;Nope.&quot;\n\n&quot;No freakin\' clue.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well. That\'s helpful.&quot;\n\nThe boy looked agitated. He looked away from the levers, then back, weighing his options. He decided that he didn\'t have any, then motioned the girls away.\n\n&quot;Stand back.&quot;\n\n&quot;What are you gonna do?&quot; the girl in red asked.\n\n&quot;The only thing I can think of. Guess the gentlemanly thing to do would be to risk killing myself first.&quot;\n\nThe girls looked at each other, then stepped back together as the boy rolled up his sleeves slightly and approached the levers. He looked to each of them for a moment, then at the weird symbols as if hoping they would suddenly lend some sort of a clue. Finally he reached out, taking the left-most lever at random. His fist clenched motionlessly on it for a moment, then he closed his eyes and pulled, drawing his hand back quickly as though afraid the lever would bite him.\n\nThe glowing symbol in front of the lever turned red and there was a slight computerized noise. For a moment nothing else happened and the boy opened his eyes, looking around at the anticlimax. \n\nAnd then, quite suddenly, there was no floor beneath his feet.\n\n&quot;[i:b7vk6w5c]WAAGGHH![/i:b7vk6w5c]&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:b7vk6w5c]AAGGHH![/i:b7vk6w5c] Um---Guy!&quot;\n\nBoth girls jumped forward and tried to grab him, but he disappeared into the trapdoor before either could. The trapdoor opened onto a sort of slide almost straight down, and the girls threw themselves on the ground, listening to him scream for a long while before there was a sudden [i:b7vk6w5c]THUMP![/i:b7vk6w5c] and a grunt of pain from their companion.\n\nThe girl in red cupped her hands and shouted down the hole. &quot;Are you okay down there?!&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:b7vk6w5c]Yeah![/i:b7vk6w5c]&quot; The boy\'s voice sounded faint and indistinct from the echo. &quot;[i:b7vk6w5c]I think it---hey, what the---?![/i:b7vk6w5c]&quot;\n\nSuddenly there was another voice, or maybe more than one, and the boy was yelling but they couldn\'t make anything out. Both girls\' eyes widened.\n\n&quot;Hey, what\'s going on down there?! Are you okay?!&quot;\n\nMore shouting, more inability to make anything out. The girls looked at each other. \n\n&quot;What do we do?&quot; the girl with glasses asked.\n\nThe other girl hesitated, then suddenly turned and swung her legs over the side of the hole, onto the slide. Her companion\'s eyes widened.\n\n&quot;Are you sure that\'s a good idea?&quot;\n\n&quot;What, you kidding? I\'m not sure what my [i:b7vk6w5c]name[/i:b7vk6w5c] is, let alone anything else.&quot; Somehow, the girl with glasses found that sarcasm comforting. Red-shirt gave a devil-may-care grin that hid her own nervousness. &quot;Going down.&quot;\n\nShe pushed off and disappeared into the dark hole. The girl in glasses hesitated.\n\n&quot;I\'m going to regret this,&quot; she muttered, before swinging her own legs over the side and following.\n\n_____________________________________________________________________\n\nI have an idea or two how I could continue it, but I figured that would be a good spot to leave it for somebody else to continue. <!-- s;) --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif\" alt=\";)\" title=\"Wink\" /><!-- s;) --> (If nobody does, I\'ll just go with my idea later.)

Part 2','Hang on! Here\'s Part 2.\n\n\n\nDaria and Jane whispered to each other as they walked down the corridors of Lawndale High School, making sure that the few remaining students in the halls before next period were not within earshot.\n \n“…So Katma says that you should be ready to take your final exam in another few days?” Jane asked.\n\n“Yeah,” Daria replied. “I’m just beginning to get used to the odd hours and having to take catnaps, but I expect the finals to be brutal. I’m not looking forward to it at all. But I gotta go through with it if I expect to be a full fledged Green Lan…” They arrived at History class and passed through the doorway.\n\nDaria and Jane entered DeMartino’s classroom and took their seats just as he was setting up the monitor in front of the blackboard.\n\n“So Tom’s folks keep hinting that he needs to get rid of his car,” Jane said, quickly changing the subject. “Angier is trying to get donors for the new wing at Fielding and he’s afraid of what people like Bruce Wayne might think if they see his, er, ‘unique’ example of automotive history parked in front of the house.”\n\n“Tom knows Bruce Wayne?” Daria said, as the pair took their seats. “I guess what they say is true. Old money attracts older money.”\n\n“His dad knows him, actually. He only met him once when they made a business trip to Gotham City when he was a kid. He said that Wayne’s house gave him the creeps. Tom liked his butler, though. He kept calling him ‘Mahster Thomas’ and making him milkshakes.”\n\nDeMartino’s growl cut the conversation short. “TODAY we are going to watch the NEWS coverage of the efforts of our visitors, the Hawkmen from THANAGAR, to construct a force field generator in the Gobi Desert. As you may know, a few weeks ago they HELPED the Justice League stop an ATTACK on Washington, D.C. by the,” He pointed to Kevin Thompson - “Who, Kevin?\n\n“The Who?” Kevin replied. “Why would an old band attack Washington?\n\n“The GORDANIANS, you dimwit!” DeMartino sighed. “Never mind. Just listen, class.” He unmuted the remote control.\n\n“ - because of the threat of these invading aliens, the United Nations has agreed to permit our guests - some say saviors, from Thanagar to shore up Earth’s defenses with assistance from our own Justice League.” The camera pulled away from the close-up of the reporter and panned to a shot of a red blur darting around the base of a giant metal construct, while Green Lantern used his Ring to carry a stack of girders and sheet metal to the upper edge of the generator. Hovercraft moved to and fro over the site, carrying more parts. A flurry of hawkmen swarmed the sky over the generator, darting down to supervise construction workers welding  parts into place. \n\nJane leaned over and whispered to Daria in front of her. “What do you think of Hawkgirl turning out to being a scout in the Thanagarian military?”\n\n“I don’t know,” Daria replied. “I remember the stories that she was a police officer on her planet, and that she wound up on Earth by accident. Has she really been spying on us this whole time?” They both looked up to see the camera zoom in on the Flash and Hawkgirl standing on an upper ledge and conversing. The winged Justice Leaguer was now clad in her Thanagarian battle dress.\n\n“She seemed nice from when we me-” Daria caught herself. “From what we’ve heard of her, but it seems that she’s been lying to everyone. She may have had good reasons, but-” She frowned and shook her head. “I really don’t know.”\n\nThe camera panned over to where the Flash was now working with Green Lantern, when suddenly Superman and J’onn J’onzz flew up and hovered over them.\n\n“Something seems to have happened,” the reporter suddenly said, “ The Justice Leaguers have suddenly left the construction and are heading for their Javelin spacecraft parked nearby..oh my God!” An energy bolt lanced out from a weapon held by a Hawkwoman in white and blasted the Javelin to bits.\n\nThe shaken reporter continued. “The Leaugers have been thrown clear of what seems to be an unprovoked attack by the Hawkmen, and are trying to regroup…Oh, no! Dozens of Hawkmen have flown up out of what was thought to be a force field generator and are now descending on the trapped Justice League.”\n\nFrom a distance, it looked like a cloud of angry bees swirling around the Leaugers. Blasts of green energy erupted from the battle, alternating with crimson bolts of heat vision. “We have just gotten reports that the Army has launched a missile strike against a Thanagarian spacecraft in U.S. airspace…the missiles have been stopped with no effect!”\n\nThe camera panned over to where dozens of M-1 Abrams tanks appeared over the horizon and charged what was now known to be a fortress in the desert. Lightning erupted from the sky over the fortress and stopped the tanks dead in their tracks. \n\nThe tank crews erupted from their disabled vehicles and attempted to continue the assault on foot, but discovered that their weapons were disabled. Hawkmen swiftly descended on the soldiers and forced their surrender.\n\nThe classroom stood silent and aghast at the carnage that erupted live on the screen before them. Suddenly, Daria noticed that her Power Ring was vibrating on her finger. Knowing what that meant, she hid her hand under her desk and formed what looked like a Bluetooth headset. She palmed the headset and placed it in her ear.\n\n[i:nokbvga5]Daria! It’s John! We’ve been double-crossed by the Hawkmen![/i:nokbvga5] Daria fought to keep her expression calm. [i:nokbvga5]Watch yourself you may be in dang- UHH![/i:nokbvga5] the contact was broken.\n\nWhile Daria and the rest of the class watched in horror, the Justice League was swiftly overcome and subdued by the Thanagarians. \n\n[i:nokbvga5]“Citizens Of Lawndale!”[/i:nokbvga5] The entire classroom jumped as a strangely accented voice simultaneously came over the television, the P.A. system and reverberated outside.

They also hadn\'t made any headway in getting anywhere of any significance.  If Dr. Ted knew anything more about why or how they seemed to be getting led in circles, he was keeping it to himself and Artie wasn\'t quite bored enough to lift his cap to try and read the other man\'s mind.\n\nOne of the agents stealthily appeared from the darkness ahead and gave an all clear signal, so the group began to move once again.  Artie pushed himself up from the wall he was leaning against and slumped along behind Agent Moore.\n\nBoring boring [i:2flyh6wl]boring[/i:2flyh6wl].  Even singing sci-fi theme songs in his head was starting to pall.  If only something would happ-\n\nArtie stopped walking, causing Dr. Ted to bump into him from behind.  &quot;Oh, I\'m sorry, Arthur,&quot; the young man said brightly.  &quot;I must have been lost in . . . &quot;\n\nHe trailed off when he noticed the transfixed look of shock on Artie\'s dopey face.\n\nTed snapped into full alertness immediately.  &quot;Agents!&quot; he called out.  &quot;I\'m afraid we may have an incoming problem!&quot;\n\nBealer and Moore turned to question him, then turned back when they heard the distant sounds of a stampede headed straight toward them.\n\n***\n\nA spray of blood and teeth flew through the air, then splattered against the wall in a ragged arc.  With a second swing of his shotgun, DeMartino slammed the butt of the weapon across the monster\'s jaw again, completely removing the body part and sending it flying in the other direction.\n\nThe ghoul was dazed but not down.  The bounty hunter lashed out with his boot and connected with the side of the thing\'s ribcage.  It was like roundhouse kicking a sturdily built flagpole, but it caused the ghoul to stumble to the side.  Planting his foot back on the ground and using his momentum to continue moving in a spin, he swung his gun around and planted it in the ghoul\'s skull, braining it and causing a fresh spray of gore.\n\n&quot;It\'s like these damn things [i:2flyh6wl]know exactly where we ARE![/i:2flyh6wl]&quot; he bellowed in frustration before setting in on his next opponent.\n\nJane was too busy with her own problems to answer.  The blade strapped to her right arm helped, but close quarters combat wasn\'t really her thing.  The wildly swinging shadows cast by their flashlights certainly wasn\'t helping matters any.  She was constantly missing her exact mark, which was a definite source of consternation for her, a trained markswoman.  Thankfully for her, her armor was still deflecting any potentially infectious attacks the ghouls managed to score.\n\nBut she couldn\'t be entirely sure how long she would be able to be thankful.  When two of the zombies managed to grab an arm each and tried to drag her down, it seemed as if that time was finally up, but two small spheres sped out of the darkness and smacked the creatures square in their necks.\n\nThe spikes that erupted interrupted their nervous systems with a massive shock and sent them flopping to the ground where Jane stabbed them square in the heads.  Their perforated brains twitched a few last times, then the corpses laid still.\n\n&quot;Thanks!&quot; Jane breathed quickly at Burnout before turning to yet another ghoul.\n\nShe couldn\'t take the time to make sure the blonde woman heard or acknowledged her.  For the past several minutes, they had been besieged on every side by ghouls who seemed to be sniffing them out like bloodhounds.  Ravenously hungry bloodhounds.  With super-rabies.\n\nJane couldn\'t figure what might have happened to cause the monsters to go from hiding in ambush to actively hunting them out, but she could only hope that it was a good sign.  Maybe one of the good guys elsewhere in the building did something awesome to piss the Engineer off.\n\nA former desk jockey cracked its teeth on Jane\'s armored forearm.  She quickly dismissed her speculation and put her concentration back into slicing heads open.\n\n***\n\nI CAN\'T I CAN\'T TOO MUCH TOO MUCH\n\nDespite the buzzing having turned into blazing pain what seemed like decades ago, Axl somehow managed to split himself yet again.  His brain was on fire.  The central mass that made up his consciousness could no longer adequately process all of the information that was being fed through it.  It was literally starting to burn up.

Finally, two full hours folding and ironing clothes, she had taken this task out of the way for that week (her week!). She distractedly passed a hand on her forehead to wipe the sweat. The tiny laundry room in the basement could sure get hot after two full washing loads and ironing.\n\nShe picked up and struggled with the effort of carrying a basket full of two full landry loads up the stairs. Once she had gotten to the kitchen, she was relieved when Helen rushed to help opening the door and handle the basket, putting it down on the kitchen island.\n\n“Thanks, mom,” Quinn said, handling her mother a stack of folded dish towels. She glanced around. “Dad’s not home yet?”\n\n“Your father will be late. He called saying he had to prepare for a client tomorrow” Helen looked away as she answered and finished arranging the dishware in the cupboards. Quinn could almost feel her mother’s disappointment. \n\n“OK.” Quinn searched for something else to say but anything that crossed her mind seemed lame at best. “I’ll sort these out in my room”.\n\n“Sure, sweetie.” Helen didn’t turn as Quinn exited the kitchen.\n\nWith her heavy load, going up the stairs from the den to her room was as hard as the stairs from the basement had been. [i:30x6faws]Maybe Jane is right and I should make an effort in P.E.[/i:30x6faws] Once in her room, she dropped the basket on her bed with a thud and then shook her arms to release the tension.

[/i:30x6faws]\n\nShe chose items from the load, crossed the hall to Daria’s room, knocked and went in without waiting for a reply. \n\n“What?” Her sister had looked up from her work table when she entered, a notebook and a large book opened in front of her.\n\n“Here’s your stuff.” Quinn dropped some underwear on her sister’s bed and acknowledged a mumbled thanks. She turned and looked at the book. “Biology?”\n\n“Yah. Barch’s been hinting of a surprise test for this week.” She drummed the pencil in her hands against her Notebook. “The human body: organs, skeleton and muscles, digestive system, the cell, blood types, etc, etc…” She looked at Quinn. “What are you having this semester?” \n\n“Ecosystems of the Earth.”\n\n“Hum-hum. Do you want my notes from last year?”\n\n“No, thanks”. Quinn looked at her sister, who seemed to be waiting for her to get out of the room. She decided to bite the bullet: “So, listen, I met Jane at the end of the day. She said something about having upset you…”\n\n“Yes”, answered Daria, keeping her gaze level on Quinn.\n\n“So…?”\n\n“It’s none of your business.”\n\n“Hey, c’mon! You asked me to give her a message, so that makes it my business.”\n\n“That has nothing to do with it. Hadn’t you asked her to the drawings for the Lowdown at Lunch?”\n\n“Yeah.”\n\n“Well, whatever Jane and I said to allegedly upset me, with or without reason, was said during the afternoon.”\n\n“All right, then what was it?” \n\n“I’ve told you, it’s none of your business. Could you leave now? I’m trying to study.”\n\nQuinn fought to remain calm: “Sure, another evening spent doing all the perfect things for school and family, right? I guess Li must be very proud of you!” \n\nA moment of silence, then Daria answered: “You know, maybe I’ll just leave a few pamphlets about all the new school clubs lying around the den. What do you think?”\n\n“You promised!”\n\nDaria was smirking now: “I promised not to [i:30x6faws]speak[/i:30x6faws] to the parental units about it. I never said anything about…”  \n\n“You know, If you used the same effort to catch Charles as you do being missy-good-shoes, at least you’d have a boyfriend!” Quinn was able to spur out in anger.\n\nSilence. The two sisters locked eyes with each other, their sibling animosity turned to maximum. After a few moments, Daria talked in a careful neutral voice:    \n\n“Quinn, I really have to study. Thank you for the clothes and goodnight.”\n\n“Yeah, sure, ‘night,” Quinn answered, closing the door as she let herself out of the room. The intended nonchalance in her voice was hard to maintain. She had seen, in the single second before Daria had become impassive, the lines of pure pain on her sister’s face. She quashed the impulse of going back and apologize. \n    \nShe sighed. How was it that every time they talked it ended in a fight? Despite their mutual dislike, she didn’t want to hurt her sister like that. She knew Daria was under a lot of stress, but that was because of the insane amount of work she forced upon herself. Quinn wasn’t about to yield and apologize to her sister just because she wanted to spend every waking moment working and expected everybody to do the same.  \n\nShe entered her room, closed the door behind her and surveyed the books on her desk. She knew a math test was upcoming and also knew she should start on that English essay ASAP. And if Barch was giving the Junior class a test this week, that meant that she should expect one the following week… But the thoughts in her head turned and turned, begging for release… On an impulse, she retrieved her diary from her usual hiding place, sat down at her desk, opened on the last page and started a new entry:\n\n[i:30x6faws]Lawndale, March 12th\n\nAnother average day: clouds but no rain. No hot and no cold. Nobody died in School or whereabouts.\n[/i:30x6faws]\nShe hesitated, pen hovering over the blank pages. Then she resumed:\n\n[i:30x6faws]Daria and I had another fight, this time about Jane and Charles. I’m getting tired of these fights, but I don’t know how to stop. Everything seems all right one moment and then we start talking and then she says something nasty, I get upset and we have a fight.\n\nI still don’t know how she does to have so many extra-curriculums and clubs. Today she even asked me about joining the photography one. But why? So everybody compares me to miss two goody shoes Daria? I’m so tired of that. I’d really like to do something different but she has a foot on every door in school. What can I do?\n\nMaybe I should start my own club. A science on, maybe astronomy. Barch has been hinting she would support another one. The Science Club is good, and it really is just the work Melissa and Dawn make. Plus, Dawn’s graduating this year and Melissa will become a senior, so more work for PSAT for her. If I act quick, I could be in controling the club\'s activities in no time.[/i:30x6faws] Quinn smiled, remembering something. [i:30x6faws]Besides, Mom and Dad would be off my backs about extra-curriculum somethings cand could even let me have a few more hours of curfew. \n\nAnd still speaking about my sister, I still don’t understand why she won’t admit she has a crush on Charles. He’s a kind of a geek, with his last generation clothes her mother probably buys to him, plus his interest in computers, but he is cute. Problem is he seems afraid of his own shadow.[/i:30x6faws]\n\nPause. Quinn considered. What else had happened in school the past days? As memories came, the pen once again ran across the paper:\n\n[i:30x6faws]O’Neill still is [/i:30x6faws][hesitation again, starts writing something, scratches it, hesitation again, resumes writing] [i:30x6faws]an a******. Today he screamed at us for ten minutes just because some of us didn’t read “Henry V” from top to bottom. Now we have to handle an essay on war and the complete plot of Henry V, and I’m betting he’s going to ask the same for the next plays. How the hell are we to appreciate reading he keeps squashing every effort anyone makes? He should be teaching in a college, not here.[/i:30x6faws]\n\n[i:30x6faws]Barch broke down again today, this time when Kevin started to be smartm****** and pointing out how desert and tundra are almost the same, based on ‘definitions’ she had provide and stuff. Tiffany won the pool: 6 min 12 sec (my time) until Barch cracked. I had betted on 9-10 minutes. Lost another $5. (Money lost since beginning of year: 45$)\n\nMaybe we’re taking these bets too far. I feel a little bad about it. I mean, we really should learn something. I think Barch really knows her stuff and has taught us a lot, but she cracks down whenever any student makes a harsher reply. She really shouldn’t be a teacher. Maybe just a private tutor or something like that.\n\nJoey started again to go out with Jennifer. The rumor is now that the “2 Js” are back and broken up the “3 Js”. I guess their fight is pretty much over. The pool is now how much time they’re going to last before Jennifer makes the moves on Jeffrey or Jamie.\n\nPothead hasn’t returned since last Friday. There’s another rumor that he was helping supply Mack and is on the run. Nobody knows anything more. I’m glad he’s gone. It was creepy with him lunging around the back parking lot like that.\n\nLisa approached me yesterday and told me to stay away from Robert. I told her we hadn’t even talked, she called me a liar and things were getting ugly when some another cheerleader came and convinced her that I hadn’t done anything. Jane told me not to worry about it, that Lisa’s been saying this to any girl her boyfriend even glances at. But seriously, WTF? That girl really needs to stop being paranoid. I don’t remember Robert even looking at me! \n\nStacy approached me again to join their nerd[/i:30x6faws] [hesitation again, writes something, scratches it, resumes writing] [i:30x6faws]Geek club. I really wish he’d stop doing that. I don’t care about their stupid star wars and star Trek and star this and that. Jesus H. Christ, why don’t they get a life! Everybody knows the GC club is a joke, just Stacy and Tiffany ordering Sandi around to make those stupid geeky star something films. Sandi will crack one day or another by this rate.\n[/i:30x6faws]\nShe sighed and massaged her face with her hand. She knew she was playing for time before writings down what she most both wanted and didn’t want to think about. Inhaling deeply, she continued: \n\n[i:30x6faws]I had sort-of fight with Jane. Again because I can’t keep my mouth shut. We were having lunch and she said something about boyfriends, I snapped and mentioned her brother. She seemed really upset and left the cafeteria. \n\nI apologized later and it seemed all right. I’m going to invite her to the zon and pay for the drinks next weekend. Sort of paying for it. I’ll tell her she can bring Evan if she want. He’s not so bad after all, just a little too concerned with running.\n\nI don’t know what to do about Trent. Maybe we could go on a road trip and meet them somewhere? The problems are: 1 - I can’t drive; 2 – Mom and Dad would never let me go. I’ll have to think about it.[/i:30x6faws]\n   \nShe looked at the entry. A long one, but lots of things had happened the past days. The problem was none of them particularly out of the ordinary. Everybody was still acting normal and as expected… Was this the adventures of normal life? Maybe they were.\n\nHer mind caught that train of thought. What if, from a certain POV, all this would be considered abnormal in a few years?[i:30x6faws] Imagine me in thirty years reading this.[/i:30x6faws] Problem was, she couldn’t even begin to consider herself like that. [i:30x6faws]Me, married with children? So that my dad is never home in the evenings, I’m sad and my children suffer and have fights and feel bad all the time? No, that wasn’t for her! I will not change. I will not compromise myself to be just another faceless adult. I’ll be me! Point.\n[/i:30x6faws]\nStill, the entry needed something of a conclusion. The ending seemed too abrupt… Her pen raced through the paper:\n\n[i:30x6faws]Nothing too abnormal happened, it was just another normal day here in Lawndale High.[/i:30x6faws]\n\nShe considered. The phrase seemed a little artificial, but that was the general feeling. [i:30x6faws]It’s my diary, dammit. I’ll write whatever I want![/i:30x6faws]\n\nShe closed the diary and carefully returned in to its usual hiding place. She then looked at the unopened books and the clock. It was too late to do anything if she was planning on getting up on time tomorrow. She made a decision. One night without studying wouldn’t kill her.\n\nShe carefully prepared her clothes and notebooks for the following day. After a quick visit to the bathroom, she quickly changed into her night clothes. Getting into bed right after that, she spent a few moments looking at the ceiling. Then she turned off the lights and closed her eyes. In a few moments she was asleep.\n\n[b:30x6faws]The End.[/b:30x6faws]','d60bf12ee7cb74b551cb2060375e593a',0,'YA==','30x6faws',1,1298842713,'',757,1,0),(463746,31973,3,39,0,'78.144.60.222',1298829633,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Universal Birthday Thread II','[size=150:113mswsm][color=orange:113mswsm]Happy birthday, Teeki![/color:113mswsm][/size:113mswsm]\n\nA  big one, too.

Just ignore me. [i:1ia81js6]LIKE HE DID![/i:1ia81js6]”\n\nAnd then Ms Barch burst into tears and ran out the room, which is [i:1ia81js6]not[/i:1ia81js6] where Daria thought she’d been leading. Judging from the faintly embarrassed reaction – and a number of students reading on their own – everyone else had expected it. (Kevin was reading a comic, so at least that was normal)\n\nDaria tapped her pen against the table. She had the time and space to think without interruptions now. So… think. Thinkity thinky think.\n\nSlowly, she wrote down “QUINN” in large letters, and “FASHION CLUB” in smaller type under it, both in the middle of the paper. She then began to add the names of everyone else she’d seen, drawing lines between connections; the pattern was getting clearer.\n\n“Jane? Do you often interact with the Fashion Club?”\n\n“N-Nope! Nope! Never wanted to, never!” Jane looked guilty, as if she’d been caught, and then looked down again. “Erm, a few times – but only when you were there, honest!”\n\n“Don’t worry, Torquemada’s dead.”\n\nShe added “JANE” to the sheet and that clinched it: as she’d thought, everything was connected to the Fashion Club. Meaning everything was connected to [i:1ia81js6]Quinn.[/i:1ia81js6] \n\n[i:1ia81js6]But isn’t that true back home as well? She’s popular, everyone’s always around her – no. NOT everyone. I keep interacting with Quinn, and so does Jane through me, but rarely on her own and the Fashion Club… well, me and her tend to avoid them like chickens avoid military officers from Kentucky. She acts like that’s not the case here.\n\nTom interacts with Quinn and not me. \n\nJodie[/i:1ia81js6] never [i:1ia81js6]interacts with the Fashion Club, and I’ve never heard of Mack with Quinn. Except here. And it doesn’t make sense. Whereas back home, they interact with me and that… also doesn’t make sense if I think objectively, but they’re desperate to talk to someone else with brains and latch on to me like a drowning man to Aquaman. At least, that’s what I’ve always assumed.[/i:1ia81js6]\n\nTap, tap, tap.\n\n[i:1ia81js6]In this universe, I’m a horrible person that everyone’s wary of. Does anyone think of me like that back home? [/i:1ia81js6]\n\nTap, tap. Stare. \n\n[i:1ia81js6]Quinn did. The Fashion Club still do.\n\nEveryone I’ve seen is tied to the Fashion Club and known[/i:1ia81js6] because[i:1ia81js6] they are. I act like I’d be expected to act if they saw the world like Quinn does. DeMartino, same deal – Jane… Jane, through Quinn’s eyes, wouldn’t be important because she’s just someone who follows me around, and…[/i:1ia81js6]\n\nTap tap tap tap tap.\n\n[i:1ia81js6]Defoe, Barch, Mum… they don’t fit this. Except this way they’re[/i:1ia81js6] easier [i:1ia81js6]for Quinn to deal…\n\nThis entire universe is [b:1ia81js6]centred around Quinn.[/b:1ia81js6] That’s the difference. Except does that mean home is centred around[/i:1ia81js6] me?[i:1ia81js6] That makes no sense. Why would it be? Why would a whole world revolve around ME? (Okay, a lot of things happen to me at Lawndale, but if a universe revolved around me then things would have happened in Highland too, and they didn’t.) But this world certainly seems to revolve around Quinn of all damn people, and why why WHY…[/i:1ia81js6]\n\nThe bell rang and Daria cried out, shocked out of her thoughts. She hadn’t realised it was the end of class. She was getting odd looks but otherwise ignored, except for Jane. Jane seemed frightened.\n\n“What?!” snapped Daria.\n\nJane paled and looked away. “D-Didn’t mean-“\n\n“[i:1ia81js6]STOP THAT![/i:1ia81js6] Damn it, Jane, all day you’ve been like this, WHY are you like this?!” She was aware that everyone else was leaving the room quicker now she’d started yelling, and that Jane was shaking, but carried on. “It doesn’t make sense! Even if you’re not important in the cosmic scheme of things and all that crap, there’s [i:1ia81js6]no[/i:1ia81js6] reason for you to be like this here unl-“\n\nShe’d started to think about it.\n\nShe was a horrible person people were scared of here.\n\nJane was just someone who followed her around.\n\nBack home, Stacy was someone who followed around Sa-\n\n“No.”\n\nDaria backed away from Jane, trying not to look at her, trying to keep out the knowledge from her mind, muttering “no no no no” like it was a invocation that could deny reality. Her stomach was ripped open and everything around her was vertigo, and she couldn’t see through tears, and she [i:1ia81js6]ran[/i:1ia81js6] before Jane could say anything, before anyone could come back into the room, before before before\n\n[i:1ia81js6]No no NO[/i:1ia81js6]','4a1d68cfb000de8a4c0f5215e3c4192b',0,'YA==','1ia81js6',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463751,31723,6,1161,0,'99.33.85.60',1298832083,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: World\'s Shortest Crossover','&quot;She signed the forms when she joined the faculty.

In any case, I wrote this work as an excercise of sorts to help end the writer\'s block, and I\'ve tried to use a less &quot;traditional&quot; style in terms of structure and flow.\n \nThus, constructive criticism is really appreciated, but anyway, enjoy the show!\n\n[b:25hvije2]Lawndale[/b:25hvije2]\n\nHave you ever seen the Disney film Fun and Fancy Free?  I have, but then again, I’ve practically watched everything the Golden Age of Hollywood has to offer.  Anyway, the film itself is nothing too spectacular. It’s an awkward combination of two short films that were originally meant to be two separate films.  The first story is about a stupid cartoon bear, while the second story is yet another retelling of “Jack and the Bean Stalk.”  Still, it isn’t the awfulness of the film that keeps it forever lodged in my mind.  It’s a single line by Jimmy Cricket of all people. \n\nHe says “Why, the world’s been ending since 1933!” in his painfully chipper voice.  \n\nEven in the 1940s, people mocked the news media’s constant focus on doomsday scenarios, but why shouldn’t they?  Ever since man could first comprehend the philosophical implications of his own death, he has feared the death of his whole world.  Still, I hate this line of truth with a passion.\n\n“Why?” you might ask. Well, the reason is quiet simple.  I despise it because it offers no solution.  It gives no insight into how one might get the doomsayers to shut up, or how to stop the chaos that feeds mankind’s fears of the apocalypse.  Every day, I walk around my High School and hear more news about our world’s ever impending doom.\n\nThe Econ teacher talks about how job opportunities in America are constantly decreasing, and how decreasing resources will lead to brutal wars of desperation.\n\nThe Science teacher talks about how climate change, bioterrorism, nuclear war, and more will make life on Earth impossible for humans in their current state.\n\nThe World History teacher keeps saying that all Empires and Cultures must fall.  No exceptions. \n\nAnd the English teacher is musing on how Humanity pretends to love peace, but prefers to flirt with death.\n\nEven when I ignore my teachers, it’s still impossible to block out the all penetrating presence of death.\n\nAids in Africa.\n\nFamine in India.\n\nExtinction in South America.\n\nBombings in Ireland.\n\nRace Crimes in Dixieland.\n\nOf course, we can’t forget about the enemies of the world as labeled by the news media in terms of…\n\n[i:25hvije2]Political Groups:[/i:25hvije2]\n\nThe Left is going to take our guns.\n\nThe Right is going to take our right to privacy.\n\nThe Socialists will deny us the right to own property.\n\nThe Capitalists will deny us medicine and education.\n\nThe Communists will about bring equality through equal suffering for all.\n\nThe Fascists will bring about equality through the elimination of the wrong genetic strains.\n\n[i:25hvije2]Religions:[/i:25hvije2]\n\nThe Christians will overthrow the government and abolish the constitution.\n\nThe Muslims will outbreed and overrun Western Civilization.\n\nThe Atheists will do whatever it takes to kill God.\n\n[i:25hvije2]Nations:[/i:25hvije2]\n\nChina will buyout America and turn us all into factory workers.\n\nRussia will once again stand up, and threaten us with nukes and oil.\n\nMexico will overrun the Southwest, and Aztlán will finally be reborn.\n\nEvery day, I hear these things, and wars, and rumors of wars.  Every day, a part of me wishes it would all stop.  Still, I suppose it never will, so instead, I watch this show about a perfect world.  Naturally, I know the world was never perfect like it is in the show, but it doesn’t matter.  It still feels good to dream.\n\n**********************************************************************\n\nIn a comfortable living room, a teenage girl who has just recently finished her sophomore year is watching a commercial she has seen a dozen times. \n\n“Hello Boys and Girls!” yells the announcer on TV. “Glad school’s out? Well, we here at TV Land are certainly excited for you, and want to make it even better for you!”\n\n“How so?” asked Daria despite already knowing the answer.\n\n“This weekend, we plan on running a 54 hour marathon of America’s favorite 1950s sitcom Lawndale!! Come join the Morgendorffers, a.k.a. America’s favorite family in all their classic episodes.  Watch parenting duo Jake and Helen Morgendorffer, and their beautiful twin daughters Virginia and Victoria as they do what they do best, but wait, there’s more!”\n\n“More?” asked Daria.\n\n“That’s right.  At the end of the marathon, there’ll be a trivia quiz for all true Lawndale fans. Be the first to call the toll free number, and answer all the questions correctly, and you’ll win not only a thousand dollars, but a free week’s vacation to Lawndale, California, right next to the beautiful Los Angeles, California!!  So get out those Lawndale edition Trivia Pursuit games, and start preparing to win!!&quot;\n\n**********************************************************************\n\nIn the kitchen, things were heating up between Daria’s mother Amy Barksdale and her ex-husband Keith Michaelis.\n\n“What do you mean you can’t keep them?” screamed Amy into the phone. “Don’t you freaking get it by now? Every second weekend is supposed to be your weekend to spend with Daria and Quinn, and now you’re telling me you have some ****ing romantic vacation planned with that home……Don’t you damn correct me, I\'ll call her whatever I……And what are two going to do with your daughter Veronica? If I was her mother I……Don’t you even dare bring up Erin into this mess. You know damn well that it was your fault she ran off with that Lane idiot. Hello? Hello!?!”\n\nWithout hesitation, Amy slammed the phone into the receiver. \n\n“That lazy bastard hung up on me.  God, I need a drink.”\n\n**********************************************************************\n\nBack in the living room, Daria had heard the whole conversation, and even though it was nothing new, it still made her sick to her stomach.  Quickly, she turned off the television, and headed upstairs to her room.  Perhaps it would be for the best if she got some sleep.','43bf8cd804ce38d63f47bb7a70e5b22b',0,'YA==','25hvije2',1,1298848793,'',1025,2,0),(463774,26680,6,757,0,'89.181.11.86',1298842626,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Another normal day in Lawndale (Complete)','[quote=&quot;Charles RB&quot;:myg57xq5]Brilliant.[/quote:myg57xq5]\n\n(blushes) [size=50:myg57xq5]*is there a smiley with blushing?[/size:myg57xq5]\n\nThank You Charles.

How Long Ago?&quot;[/b:3cn1r4v4]\n\nThe girls dropped off at school, Michael Mackenzie made his way through town toward downtown. Downtown Stamford was looking nice. The revitalization project was going well. There was a huge performing arts center, a new courthouse, a new movie theater, four or five new parking garages, and a larger variety of fast food places than he had ever imagined. The streets were clear and the sidewalks clean.\n\nLandon and Associate were about five blocks outside of the revitalized area. It was in a tired looking brick building that may have been clean when it first opened, but Michael figured that grim settled in soon after. Here the lines in the street were faded; the stoplights didn\'t always change in a logical manner; and the sidewalks were lined with paper, empty bottles, and what he assumed were gifts left by the homeless. He didn\'t drive a great car, but he never felt comfortable parking on these streets. He was more comfortable with parking on the street, though, than he had been the one time he\'d parked in a garage and then walked the five blocks to see his lawyer.\n\nToday, he parked across from the building. No need to make himself feel more uncomfortable. Besides, he knew he was too distracted with the mine disaster in West Virginia to pay attention to his surroundings. What if someone out there was in an odd mood today and decided that he would be a good target? He was all his girls had. That, he knew, was far more important than his car.\n\nHe closed the door to his car then ran his thumb over the lock. The running lights flashed to show it was locked. He then tapped his assistant against the lock. The running lights flashed again and in his ear Elise said, &quot;Secure.&quot; Secure was one of many &quot;extra&quot; features he\'d had Ruttheimer -- a long time acquaintance, busy body, computer programmer, and hacker -- place on his assistant, and through her onto all the things he wanted to keep track of: his car, his house, his personal computer, his work computer, his daughters\' phrends -- stripped down assistants that all students at their private school were required to carry -- among other things. Michael had found, after he started working from home that knowing someone more paranoid than himself was very useful. Especially when the paranoid had helped create code that ran almost everything.\n\nThe street clear, he crossed. He pushed the buzzer button next to the name Landon and Associate and waited. He shook his head. Who in their right mind would think that a buzzer was protection against unwanted invasion? It wouldn\'t take a skilled liar to get anyone of the businesses on the list to buzz him in. He knew that people had been naïve when he was a kid, but they should know better in this day and age.\n\n&quot;Yes?&quot; said a garbled female voice from the speaker.\n\n&quot;Rachel?&quot; Michael said, surprised that she was answering.\n\n&quot;Mack?&quot; the voice asked.\n\n&quot;Yeah,&quot; he said, wondering why she was answering the door.\n\nThe speaker buzzed and he heard the lock in the door disengage. Apparently she didn\'t have any time for small talk. He pushed against the door with his shoulder and it opened with a squeal. He grimaced. Too bad this area would never be fixed up like the rest of downtown, he thought. Across from the front door was the elevator. He pushed the button and waited. And waited\n\nHe wondered, as he tended to, why he used Rachel Landon as his attorney. At first it was out of a sense of duty. Rachel was the little sister of his long-term high school girlfriend, Jodie, and was pretty much his little sister, too. Even after he and Jodie broke up before they each headed off to college Rachel had kept calling him and writing him letters just to see how he was. For a while he thought she had a crush on him, but the longer they talked the more he realized that she needed to talk to someone who knew all about her family, but wasn\'t a part of it. He fit that bill better than just about anyone either of them could think of.\n\nThe elevator dinged as the door opened and he stepped in to the grungy car, still thinking about his attorney. Although he was still friends with Rachel, he knew that the only reason she was his lawyer was because he gave her a huge retainer the day he got his promotion. He wanted an attorney at his fingers for when things went wrong and since Rachel, who had handled his divorce with confidence and ease, was the only lawyer he knew and trusted to not take money from Mantly-Hart. Now he wasn\'t so sure.\n\nYes, Rachel Landon, Esquire was a competent attorney, but she wasn\'t a pit-bull. She wouldn\'t just attack in a fury when told to. She\'d take her time and ease her way around the situation until she thought she had the advantage, and then she\'d pounce. She was like a cougar that way. And, he knew, in a lot of legal situations, like a divorce, hers was the best way, but this time he wasn\'t so sure. Mantly-Hart\'s lawyers were already looking to blame everything on him. There had been no direct evidence of their meddling, yet, but he\'d worked for the company long enough, and seen enough movies, to know that the cheapest way out of trouble for a huge corporation was to find a scapegoat: him. The next cheapest way would be to sick their tamed congress members on him. Was Rachel prepared for him being questioned by a congressional committee? He wasn\'t so sure. Hell. He wasn\'t even sure if he could handle it.\n\nThe door opened and then dinged three times to let him know this was his stop. He walked down the narrow hall past grimy doors that led into small offices where small time consultants sat on hard chairs hoping that one of their cold calls will pay off. He shivered and thought about how easily he could have ended up in one of those drafty offices if he hadn\'t been quick enough to show his value to Mantly-Hart so the company had to keep him around. There but for the grace of blackmail. He sighed and reminded himself that he did it because he was all his kids had. He choose to do it to give them a good life. A better life, even though their mother had left them.\n\nThe door at the end of the hall had a plaque on it and read &quot;Landon and Associate&quot; in large bold lettering. Under that, in script half the size, read &quot;R. Landon, Esq.&quot; Under that, in even smaller script, read &quot;J. Burns, Esq.&quot; Michael took a breath, turned the knob, and pushed the door open.\n\nAcross from the door was an empty desk where the receptionist was supposed to sit. As far he knew there had never been a receptionist. Rachel\'s associate, Jason Burns, usually answered the phone and door buzzer. His desk, empty, sat behind the receptionist\'s desk, facing away from the wall so he could look out the window into the window of the building next door. Lucky man, with a window office.\n\nA buzz came from the phone on the receptionist\'s desk follow by a woman\'s voice which said, &quot;Mack? Are you out there?&quot;\n\nHe walked around the desk and picked up the phone and said, &quot;Rachel?&quot; There was no sound.\n\n&quot;Mack?&quot;\n\nHe the receiver and his assistant slipped from his hand.\n\n&quot;Mack?&quot; Rachel voice came from the base. &quot;Push the red button.&quot;\n\nIn his ear Elise said, &quot;Combing.&quot;\n\nHe left his assistant where it fell and pushed the red button. &quot;Rachel?&quot; he said.\n\n&quot;Finally,&quot; she said. &quot;I\'m in with another client right now. Have a seat and I\'ll grab you in a bit. \'Kay?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah,&quot; he said, &quot;that\'s fine. I\'ll be here.&quot;\n\n&quot;Great,&quot; said Rachel, sounding cheerful.\n\n&quot;Combing complete,&quot; said Elise. &quot;Items found.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah,&quot; said Michael, taking his finger off the button, &quot;great.&quot;\n\nHe sat down, hard, onto the chair behind the desk. He felt awful. He\'d just combed the network of a friend. &quot;Comb&quot; was another feature he\'d had Ruttheimer install. The basic idea was to tap his assistant against someone\'s interface and while Elise performed the usual info dumps she also dropped bloodhounds into the system. The bloodhounds searched the private network for information about Michael then copied and brought it back to Elise. The information &quot;Comb&quot; had provided him was the most effective protection he\'d had against Mantly-Hart. He was always half a step ahead of them.\n\nPicking up his assistant he said, &quot;Elise, show them to me.&quot; He felt bad, but information was all he had and he needed to know how much he could trust Rachel.\n\nThe screen on his assistant flickered then showed an empty chair. He heard Rachel\'s voice:\n\n[quote:3cn1r4v4]Mack came by today. First person to drop by since I opened this place. Came to congratulate me. He insisted things would get better. That I did the right thing by leaving the fast track and opening my own firm. God I missed him when he went away.[/quote:3cn1r4v4]\n\nTo Michael, this seemed like odd notes to keep on clients, but Rachel had always been a bit odd. The screen flickered again. Same chair, darker in the office, though.\n\n[quote:3cn1r4v4]Mack\'s getting divorced! Thank god. That woman is one of the worst people I\'ve ever met.\n\nChrist, that\'s not the way to start this, but I\'m so happy for him. He\'ll be free. His girls will be free.\n\nThey all should have been Jodie\'s anyway.\n\nHow could she have been so stupid? And to throw away her future and join the Air Force? I blame that horrible Trainor woman. She stole my brother-in-law and nieces from me. Bitch. My sister\'s turning more and more into our mother each day.\n\nMack\'s free now, though. I wonder if I could get him over to my place and accidently have him run into my sister. I think they could do a lot of good for each other.\n\nAnyway, he\'s hired me as his attorney.\n\nHe says that this\'ll be an easy divorce. She doesn\'t want the kids. She doesn\'t was money. She just wants to move on. I used to think he was so smart, you know. He\'d hardly listen to me about protecting assets. I\'m going to start looking into it for him anyway, though. I may never have been divorced, but I\'ve been through enough of them to know what I\'m doing and that the husbands and wives rarely know what the hell\'s going on around them.[/quote:3cn1r4v4]\n\nHe smiled at Rachel\'s reaction to his divorce. She\'d done a great job. Chills ran up his spine when she mentioned Jodie\'s name. He\'d never told her the whole story of their break-up and didn\'t even like to think of it. A meeting between the two of them would have been a bad idea and only lead to explosions. And she had access to much higher quality explosives than he could ever hope to.\n\nThe screen flickered. This time it was night and Rachel sat in the chair. Her dark hair cut close to her head. She frowned at something in her hand.\n\n[quote:3cn1r4v4]Mack stopped by tonight.\n\nSomething\'s wrong. He wouldn\'t tell me. So much for being his friend.\n\nHe left me three things, though.\n\nThe first was a cashier\'s check for twenty-five thousand dollars. Jason and I went through his assets with a microscope during his divorce. Yeah, he makes a comfortable living, but the only thing he has that could give him that much money is his house. And if he only got twenty-five thousand for that house he got taken.\n\nHe said the money was for a retainer. He encouraged me to use it to upgrade. Maybe hire a real receptionist. Maybe move into a better building. Maybe even add an &quot;s&quot; to the word &quot;associate&quot; on the door. Like he\'s doing me a favor.\n\nHe can be such an ass.\n\nThe other two things he left me are these drives. One looks like the standard QSDs I can go buy at the store on the corner. The other\'s something I\'ve only seen once before.\n\nIt was last Christmas. I was visiting my parent\'s and the great warrior queen herself deemed us worthy of a visit. She was only there for an hour and, of course, she wore her full uniform. But strapped to her write was a drive that looked a lot like this one here. When Evan asked her about it, she hid it up her sleeve. Said something about it being a write-once, which seemed like a waste to me, but the more I\'ve thought about it the more it seems like a good idea. If it can only be written once and it has built in data it would verify itself. I can see why the Air Force, hell all of the government, would use these things. If data was stolen you\'d know exactly where it came from.\n\nStill, why\'s Mack bringing one to me? Why the does he want me to keep it safe for him? Why the check? What the hell is going on?\n\nI hope that he tells me before it gets too late.[/quote:3cn1r4v4]\n\n&quot;That was the last item,&quot; Elise whispered in his ear.\n\nMichael frowned.\n\nA door behind him opened. He could hear Rachel\'s voice and someone else\'s, but he didn\'t look up and didn\'t pay attention to what they were saying. When the front door opened and then closed he put on a big smile and stood up.\n\n&quot;Mack!&quot; she cried, throwing herself into his arms.\n\n&quot;You know that you\'re the only person I let call me that,&quot; he said, hugging her.\n\nShe pulled away from him, looked up, smiled, and asked, &quot;That\'s not your name?&quot;\n\n&quot;Only for you,&quot; he gave an evil grin, &quot;Little Jodie.&quot;\n\nShe punched him in his arm. Flashed him a bigger smile and said, &quot;Go to hell.&quot;\n\nHe frowned down at her.\n\n&quot;What\'s wrong?&quot; she asked, her eyebrows crinkling in concern.\n\n&quot;I might already be there. Can we go into your office?&quot;\n\n&quot;Sure,&quot; she said, leading him past the associate\'s empty desk.\n\nHe didn\'t start talking until she\'d closed her door then sat down behind her desk. He described how he\'d been in charge of the coal group for Mantly-Hart. He talked about the reports he\'d read after the project was put into the field. He told her about his big meeting where he got promoted by blackmail. And he explained how the write-once drive contained every report he\'d read, the one he\'d written, the e-mails he\'d sent out, and the one response he\'d gotten.\n\n&quot;What\'s the other one for?&quot; she asked. &quot;The regular one.&quot;\n\nMichael shifted in his chair. &quot;It\'s, uh, the recorded conversation of that last meeting.&quot;\n\n\nShe looked into his eyes and frowned. He felt like she was digging into his soul. Then she sighed and said, &quot;You know I\'ve never done anything like this, right, Mack?&quot;\n\n&quot;I know.&quot;\n\n&quot;It\'s big. Huge. They\'re going to put you on trial here when you get into the stand. You know that, right. Of course you do.&quot; She was in full on lawyer mode. Michael felt proud of her. &quot;I can prepare, though,&quot; she said. &quot;I know some people in Washington. I can call in some favors. Get some tips.&quot; She slapped her hand on the desk. &quot;I can get ready. We can do this together.&quot;\n\nMichael looked away from Rachel and he sighed.\n\n&quot;Mack.&quot; She reached across the desk and took his hand. He looked at her face, at the gentle smile she\'d shared with him ever since he first met her. She asked, &quot;What do you want to do?&quot;\n\nHe pulled his hand from hers and looked out the window. He wished there was more to see other than the building across the street. &quot;I think,&quot; he said, refusing to look at Rachel. &quot;I think I want to cut a deal with Mantly-Hart.&quot;','a5bc1bc148dfb15ae67455ed55433844',0,'wA==','3cn1r4v4',1,1301007190,'',1035,1,0),(463780,31649,6,1035,0,'216.86.182.203',1298845780,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Writeoff Challenge 8','Well, shit.

A neutral country which continues to recognise and maintain diplomatic relations with two countries at war with each other is not supporting both of them (and may not be supporting either of them). The Soviet Union and Japan continued to recognise each other and maintain diplomatic relations from 1941 to 1945, but Japan was not supporting the Soviet Union against its ally Germany and the Soviet Union was not supporting Japan against its allies either.','960314fd8ead882b63db925c4c7a1361',0,'4A==','alh6z35o',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463792,31919,3,1097,0,'149.171.7.46',1298851897,1,0,1,0,1,1,'','Re: The Completely Random Post Thread: Common Cold Edition','[quote=&quot;J-D&quot;:yju0thnt][quote=&quot;J-D&quot;:yju0thnt][quote=&quot;J-D&quot;:yju0thnt][quote=&quot;J-D&quot;:yju0thnt]TheExcellentS has just been promoted from Prodigy to Brain!

Her frown deepened when said bundle wrapped its paws around Daria\'s boot and proceeded to chew on her laces.\n\n&quot;And you found him where?&quot;\n\n&quot;By the Chinese place on Dega Street. Isn\'t he just shoooo cy-uuuuuute?&quot;\n\nQuinn picked the kitten up and smooshed her face against his, rubbing her cheek into his fur as loud purring filled the air. Daria sighed.\n\n&quot;I don\'t know about this, Quinn. We\'re practically going to be housing the entire Barksdale clan for the next week until Erin\'s shower; I don\'t think a new pet will exactly help the confusion.&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh, hush. He\'ll behave like a little gentleman, won\'t you Angel?&quot;\n\nAngel beamed a little kitty smile at his new mistress\'s sister, who acquiesced with a small sigh.\n\n&quot;Angel, huh?&quot; She reached out to scratch his chin and his eyes closed languorously. &quot;Let\'s hope you can live up to the name.&quot;\n\n***\n\nThe doorbell rang and Daria followed her family to the door, Angel trotting along beside her. She stopped just short of the bottom step, hands in her jeans pockets, and sighed. This really was not how she had wanted to spend her Easter holiday. Coming home to visit her family and similarly returned friends, veg out with Jane  and just relax for a little while-- that had been her plan. Having to referee the match between Helen and her family had been an unpleasant and unwanted surprise.\n\nThe Morgendorffers plus one took a collective breath, and Helen opened the door.\n\n&quot;Mother!&quot; she greeted, voice sodden with false enthusiasm as she stepped aside to permit the old woman entry. Her hair was shoulder-length, blonde just a shade darker than Rita\'s, and streaked with silver that blended so perfectly with the blonde it was almost invisible. Her hair was coated with so much hairspray it barely moved as she leaned in to greet her daughter.\n\n&quot;Helen.&quot; Daria watched in bemusement as mother and daughter air-kissed before stepping back to their respective corners. Eva Barksdale glanced shortly around what of the house she could see, expression pinched with distaste. &quot;Honestly, Helen, to still be living in such a cramped space. When are you going to get yourself a proper house?&quot;\n\nHelen\'s face went blank, though her eyes smoldered dangerously.\n\n&quot;I like this house.&quot; she replied in a flat tone and turned to her niece. &quot;Oh, Erin, look at you! You look wonderful.&quot;\n\nErin smiled shyly, hands laid on her belly as Helen held her at arms length and studied the girl.\n\n&quot;Thanks, Aunt Helen.&quot; Her eyes widened in delight and she looked down to see Angel twining between her legs, tail waving like a pennant. His golden eyes glowed under heavy lids. &quot;Oh, you got a kitty! How cute!&quot;\n\nEva glared at the cat as she watched it rubbing against Erin\'s leg, leaving fur on her cashmere leggings. \n\n&quot;A black cat? Oh, such poor taste!&quot; And as everyone watched, dumbfounded, Eva forked the sign of the Evil Eye at the feline and sidestepped his attempts to butt his head against her ankle. Angel glared at her reproachfully and walked over to Jake, who reached down and gave his tale an affectionate tug. Angel sprawled at Jake\'s feet and flipped to have his belly rubbed.  \n\nRita and Helen exchanged greetings, considerably warmer than that between mother and daughter and were fussing over Erin when Eva interrupted them.\n\n&quot;I don\'t suppose you\'ll be inviting us in?&quot; Eva groused from her place in the doorway. Helen grit her teeth and stepped back from her pregnant niece.\n\n&quot;Well, Mother, after you went through the trouble of inviting yourself to stay, the [i:2o96uphi]last[/i:2o96uphi] thing I would want is for you to feel [i:2o96uphi]unwelcome.[/i:2o96uphi]&quot;\n\n&quot;It\'s unhealthy for a pregnant woman to be breathing paint fumes, Helen. Would you prefer we hold the baby shower in some hotel?&quot;\n\nEva looked to the other girls where they stood at the foot of the stairs, Quinn with her hands at her sides and Daria leaning against the banister.\n\n&quot;Well you girls have certainly grown.&quot; Her eyes strayed to Daria\'s hips; she elected to ignore the obvious barb.\n\n&quot;Hey Gram.&quot;\n\n&quot;Hi Grama.&quot;\n\n&quot;Hey, Eva. Long time no see.&quot; Jake greeted amicably and Eva\'s expression cooled to glacial temperatures.\n\n&quot;Jacob. I believe I informed you that I prefer to be called Mrs. Barksdale.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah.&quot; Jake smiled. &quot;And I told you to call me Jake. Need any help with those bags, girls?&quot;\n\nRita, who stood just behind Erin, took her daughter\'s hand and helped her over to one of the sofas. Erin sat with a grateful sigh, eyes slipping closed as her six-month pregnant bulk sank into the cushions and slippered feet kicked up on the coffee table. \n\n&quot;Where\'s Brian?&quot; Jake glanced out the door to the driveway, but saw no trace of his nephew-in-law.\n\n&quot;Oh, he\'s just fetching the luggage.&quot; Eva dismissed.\n\n&quot;And Amy?&quot; Helen looked up from where she had been pouring Erin a glass of lemonade, brows drawn. &quot;I thought she was driving in with you.&quot;\n\n&quot;She had a work thing.&quot; Erin accepted the glass with a smile and drank deeply.\n\n&quot;Amy will be joining us Tuesday.&quot; Eva took a seat on the couch by the window, drawing her slacks up by the knees as though gathering skirts as sitting on a throne. She opened her mouth to speak further when Angel hopped onto Erin\'s lap and moved to stand on her inflated abdomen, sniffing at her face with interest. Eva fairly shrieked, causing everyone to jump in alarm.\n\n&quot;Get that filthy beast away from her!&quot;\n\nAngel turned his head in her direction, ears laid flat, and growled a warning.\n\nThere was a commotion from the direction of the front walk and Brian came stumbling through the door laden down with what looked like a dozen bags. He managed to trip over the overnight bag sitting by the stairs and hissed a curse between his teeth. Angel hopped down and ran over to greet the newest arrival. Tail up and ears forward, Angel darted forward and rubbed against Brian\'s left ankle with a playful meow. Brian, eyes wide and teeth gritted with strain kicked out at the kitten, just barely missing the furry ribcage with his loafer.\n\n&quot;Get the hell away from me, you stupid cat!&quot;\n\nAngel growled angrily, swiped out a paw that drew bloody lines down Brian\'s exposed skin and hissed as he darted up Daria\'s leg and into her arms. She stroked the cat and glared flaming daggers at the hobbled, cursing man leaning against the banister, as did the rest of the party, minus Eva.\n\nAs Brian raised his head he caught sight of the cat in Daria\'s arms and froze. Angel had fixed him with a grudging stare and, unnoticed by the rest of the family, his eyes glowed a bloody, baleful red.\n\n***\n\nIn Daria\'s room that night, Quinn brushed Angel\'s fur with a boar-hair brush she picked up at the beauty supply and cursed Brian Chambers\' very existence.\n\n&quot;I mean, did you [i:2o96uphi]see[/i:2o96uphi] what he tried to do? And then he called him stupid! Like that loser can even [i:2o96uphi]start[/i:2o96uphi] to talk, the little troll! Ooh, he\'s lucky I just got a manicure, or I would scratch his muddy brown eyes out!&quot;\n\nQuinn continued in this vein for quite a while, but Daria managed to convince her to leave the rest of the tirade for the next day and get some sleep. The girls turned the light out and climbed into their beds, Quinn\'s a roll-away as Rita had taken her room for the duration of the stay. The kitten was a spot of warmth curled up at her left side, purring gently as they drifted off to sleep.\n\n***\n\nThree days passed in relative quiet. Amy arrived late Tuesday afternoon with the announcement that she had taken a room at Le Grande Hotel to avoid the pinch of housing nine people in a four-bedroom home. The extended family dined out that night, and all were pleasant in effort to avoid upsetting Erin\'s fragile condition.\n\nAmy returned to the hotel, everyone else to Glen Oaks. Angel greeted the Morgendorffers and Erin with enthusiasm and watched Eva walk by with a narrow expression as he was pampered by his humans. Jake was just breaking out the kitty treats when an indignant shriek came from the direction of the guest bedroom and Eva came storming out.\n\n&quot;That... that [i:2o96uphi]beast [/i:2o96uphi]has-has relieved itself on my bed!&quot;\n\nDaria and Quinn shared a knowing glance as Jake and Brian tried to keep from laughing. Helen marched into the guest room as Rita soothed her mother, leading her into the kitchen for a cup of tea while her room was made livable.\n\nAngel snuggled into Erin\'s lap with a kitty smirk. First blood, and it tasted [i:2o96uphi]so[/i:2o96uphi] sweet. \n\n***\n\nHelen was filling Angel\'s water dish before bed that night when she saw him jump up on the pull-out beside Jake. She grabbed something from the table and called him. He reacted immediately, trotting into the kitchen with head held high, sniffing at his adopted mother.\n\n&quot;I\'m not happy about what you did.&quot; Helen scolded gently as she knelt before the cat and stroked his back. &quot;And I don\'t want you to think I condone such a thing, but--&quot; She glanced shortly to either side to see that she was unobserved. &quot;Good boy.&quot;\n\nAngel\'s tail twitched happily as he crunched the treat Helen fed him. Smiling, she scooped him up and carried him to bed.\n\n***\n\nThe Morgendorffers came running at the angry yowl coming from the kitchen and found Eva, spray bottle in-hand, chasing Angel out into the back yard.\n\n&quot;Grama, what are you [i:2o96uphi]doing?![/i:2o96uphi]&quot; Quinn demanded as she reached out and snatched the mister away from the old woman. Eva had the gall to look scandalized.\n\n&quot;That [i:2o96uphi]horrible animal[/i:2o96uphi] has already demonstrated that it is unfit to remain indoors. As long as I am in this house--&quot;\n\n&quot;You will respect the members of this household.&quot; Helen cut in firmly, arms akimbo. Quinn shot an icy glare at the old woman as she ran to retrieve her cat. &quot;And that [i:2o96uphi]includes[/i:2o96uphi] Angel.&quot;\n\nThus began one of the famous Barksdale brawls. Daria and Quinn took pity on their cousin and took her out for a long brunch while the Alpha Females fought for dominance. Neither of them noticed how Angel seemed to fade from the window sill as he watched them drive off.\n\n***\n\nBrian decided he needed a drink. Having to spend a protracted amount of time with his mother-in-law was bad enough, but add her megabitch of a sister and Gramazilla, he was about ready to end it all. At least Amy wasn\'t there, the last thing he needed were her sarcastic comments. That mouth would serve him much better, he mused as he slung his jacket over one shoulder and placed his foot on the first step on his way down to the car, wrapped around his--\n\nQuite suddenly he was falling. As he tumbled noisily down the stairs, he caught just the smallest glimpse of a flicking black tail. Then he hit hardwood and his vision erupted into stars.\n\n***\n\nThe girls walked in chattering amiably, but broke off at Erin\'s gasp. She waddled over to Brian, who was nursing a broken nose on the middle couch in the living room.\n\n&quot;What happened?&quot;\n\n&quot;Thad goddab cad tribbed be!&quot; he snapped. His  bloodshot, watery eyes took the power out of his glare. &quot;The little bastard was lyig id waid at the tob of the stairs--&quot;\n\n&quot;Lying in wait?&quot; Daria scoffed over Erin\'s shoulder. &quot;That\'s ridiculous. He\'s a cat, not a trained assassin.&quot;\n\n&quot;He knew whad he was doig!&quot; Brian spluttered, but was cut off by a disgusted Quinn.\n\n&quot;That\'s enough!&quot; she shouted and gently lifted Angel into her arms. He had been lurking nearby, taking pleasure in Brian\'s wary discomfort. &quot;This is a kitten. A [i:2o96uphi]cat![/i:2o96uphi] He did not try to kill you! What is [i:2o96uphi]with[/i:2o96uphi] you people?!&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'b ouda here,&quot; Brian muttered. He shook off Erin\'s hand and stormed out of the house, slamming the door behind him.\n\nJake came downstairs a moment later, whistling a jaunty tune, and addressed the women with a smile.\n\n&quot;What\'d I miss?&quot;\n\n***\n\nThey were moving furniture around to start decorating for the baby shower in a couple days when Amy finally arrived.\n\n&quot;Where have you been?&quot; Helen was tired from the constant combat, and so the query lacked the acid bite of accusation.\n\n&quot;Well, since I\'ve taken time off work to be here during Erin\'s happy time, I decided to take the opportunity to do something I enjoy. Something I don\'t get to do much these days.&quot; She heaved a blissful sigh and flopped down on one of the displaced couches. &quot;Sleep.&quot;\n\n&quot;It\'s nearly one in the afternoon.&quot; Rita pointed out as she measured the kitchen doorway for the banner she had ordered.\n\n&quot;Mornings are for suckers.&quot;\n\nThe women plus Jake spent the afternoon moving furniture, putting up streamers and balloons and otherwise beautifying the first level of the house in anticipation of the party to take place a few days in the future. When night fell and they ordered in Chinese for dinner, they never noticed that Brian failed to return.\n\n***\n\nThe road was a dark blur, broken only by the clean white beams of the headlights. The lights meandered across the blacktop, often swerving over the center line as the car\'s operator twitched the wheel too far to the left or right. Brian was more than a little tipsy, but his drunkenness took his mind off of the pain from his broken nose, so that was just fine. He sang along with a poppy tune playing on the radio, bobbing his head and causing his vision to cant dangerously. He laughed and reached for the beer resting in the passenger\'s seat.\n\nA black blur darted across the headlights and Brian swerved, shouting in alarm. He skidded to a stop along a wooded stretch of road and sat, breathing heavily as he waited for his heart to stop trying to hammer through his chest.\n\n&quot;Whad... whad the fug...&quot;\n\nHis eyes snapped downward at the sensation of something winding around his ankles. His skin crawled, tightening along his thighs and other secretive areas as a pair of golden eyes stared up at him from the foot well.\n\n&quot;Mrow.&quot;\n\n&quot;Do way.&quot; Angel slunk up into Brian\'s lap, eyes glowing crescents as he settled himself on the man\'s crotch and stretched up to rest paws on his chest. Whiskers twitching, Angel placed his velvet nose right in Brian\'s face.\n\nBrian panicked and, in an irrational moment of fight or flight, floored the accelerator. The car  took off down the road at breakneck speed, Brian flailing at the wheel with a cat standing in his lap.\n\n&quot;GED THE FUG AWAY FROB BE!&quot; Brian screamed and batted at the cat with the back of one hand. Angel\'s ears turned back and he slapped out a paw, catching Brian in the face with claws extended. He screamed as hot blood trickled down into his collar, then again when Angel batted his broken nose. The cat jumped over onto the dash, blocking Brian\'s view of the road. As he watched, the kitten appeared to swell until it was more than double its original size. Brian\'s bladder let go as bloody light filled Angel\'s eyes and spilled over onto his inky fur.\n\nThe car took a turn at nearly 100 MPH, came up onto two wheels and slammed back down as Brian barely missed a tree that had grown out over the road. A low rumbling came from the cat\'s chest as it crouched behind the steering wheel. He shifted his weight on his front paws as though readying to spring, spread his jaws in a hellish grin and roared. \n\nThe car ran off the road, flipped twice, came to rest on its roof and lay still. The headlights stared like blind eyes into the darkness, the engine ticking as it cooled in the night air.\n\n***\n\nErin stood at the window, hands roaming over her belly in absent agitation. The sounds of a waking house swirled around her as Jake and Helen prepared breakfast, Rita set out Erin\'s prenatal vitamins and the girls busied themselves taking care of whatever little details were left by the way side. She tried not to fret, after all, it was far from the first time Brian disappeared for a few days after a fight. Still, Erin could not but help feeling something was wrong.\n\n&quot;He sure is taking his time.&quot;\n\nErin looked around, surprised to see Daria at her elbow. Her face was blank as usual, but she watched Erin closely out of the corner of her eye. The older woman smiled, touched at the concern.\n\n&quot;It\'s okay, he\'s probably just sleeping it off somewhere. I\'m sure he\'ll be back in time for the shower.&quot;\n\n&quot;Mm.&quot; Daria turned to study her cousin for a long moment, then seemed to come to a decision. &quot;How does chocolate french toast sound to you?&quot;\n\nErin grinned, the first true expression she had shown since Brian stormed out the day before.\n\n&quot;If it comes with a cup of real coffee, you can count me in.&quot;\n\nIt was another day before the police came knocking at 1111 Glen Oaks. The afternoon before the shower that would celebrate the coming birth of their child, Erin learned that her husband had died in a car wreck two days before. The alcohol level in his blood was nearly twice the legal limit. It was assumed he lost control of the car, or fell asleep at the wheel.\n\nErin was asked to accompany the officer so that she could formally identify the body. She fainted before she had gone two steps, and in the confusion that followed no one noticed Angel walk up to Eva where she stood in the kitchen doorway.\n\n&quot;Mrrow.&quot; She looked down to find the cat butting his head against her leg, eyes bright and hopeful. Disgusted, Eva pushed him away with her foot, causing him to tumble over.\n\n&quot;Shoo!&quot; she hissed at the kitten, who had now gained his feet and walked closer as the old woman retreated farther into the kitchen. She bumped into the counter and Angel sat at her feet. He leaned his head forward and opened his mouth. The delicate tinkle of metal on tile broke the silence. Gold gleamed in the light and Eva\'s eyes dried from lack of blinking as she stared at Brian\'s wedding ring. Angel began to purr, the delicate sound deepening as his form swelled and as his eyes began to glow. Eva felt her heart seize in her chest as her left arm turned to lead. \n\nEva sucked in breath, trying to fill her dead lungs, but could not find the strength to scream.\n\n[b:2o96uphi]End[/b:2o96uphi].\n\n[b:2o96uphi]EDIT[/b:2o96uphi]: Minor revisions.

But what other things might be in one of those two categories? Breakfast? Beauty? Cosmology? Reality? Magic? Democracy? Philosophy? Gravity? Maturity?\n\nThe possibility I think we need to consider is whether the question \'Is morality relative?\' depends on a category mistake. Some things are opaque and some things are not opaque (for example), but some things do not belong in either category. For example, it would be a category mistake to ask \'Is chastity opaque?\' or, for that matter, \'Is morality opaque?\' They\'re not in the category of things to which the question applies.\n\nAsking \'Is morality relative?\' depends on the assumption that \'morality\' is in the category to which that sort of question applies. But is it?[/quote:3tev6o2n]\n\n\nInteresting question (and I mean that), but I still stand by my previous belief. Morality, to me, is a set of beliefs by which one lives one\'s life. It seems obvious to me that a set of beliefs [i:3tev6o2n]is[/i:3tev6o2n] relative from one person to another.\nI think that all things could be considered relative, to a point. Light, for example; compared to the amount of light at noon, twilight seems dark. But compared to midnight, it seems light. Gravitational pull on Earth is heavy compared to gravitational pull on the Moon. Compared to the gravitational pull on Saturn though, Earth has a low amount of gravity.','ea0082a16dde9979199ab863e942e861',0,'oA==','3tev6o2n',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463806,30910,5,1182,0,'98.217.40.213',1298855830,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: What Are You Reading?

But what other things might be in one of those two categories? Breakfast? Beauty? Cosmology? Reality? Magic? Democracy? Philosophy? Gravity? Maturity?\n\nThe possibility I think we need to consider is whether the question \'Is morality relative?\' depends on a category mistake. Some things are opaque and some things are not opaque (for example), but some things do not belong in either category. For example, it would be a category mistake to ask \'Is chastity opaque?\' or, for that matter, \'Is morality opaque?\' They\'re not in the category of things to which the question applies.\n\nAsking \'Is morality relative?\' depends on the assumption that \'morality\' is in the category to which that sort of question applies.

Daria, Jesse and Jane are sitting on the couch. Trent has pulled up a milk crate and there are a couple open boxes of pizza on the coffee table between them.)\n\nJESSE: I thought her mom’s head was gonna explode.\n\nJANE: Damn, I should’ve come with.\n\nDARIA: And been within striking range? This whole thing is your fault you know. I was hoping Quinn would be the one to spill the beans so I could torture her.\n\nJANE: Hey, how was I to know Sandi would run crying to her mommy? I just sent Jesse over there to embarrass you and get your folks thinking.\n\nDARIA: You got them thinking alright. I bet Mom is thinking about background checks and summer activities to keep me too busy for a boyfriend. And poor Dad is probably thinking about being too young to be a grandpa.\n\nTRENT: Tell him not to worry. The Spiral always uses protection. Nick taught us a good lesson on that one, right Jess?\n\nJESSE: Yup.\n\n(Jane and Daria roll their eyes as the phone rings. Jane digs around under the coffee table and eventually is able to find it.)\n\nJANE: Yo. (Bt) Oh, Hey Mrs. M (Bt) Yep she’s right here, hang on (grinning evilly at Daria) Yo Jesse! You wanna take your tongue out of Daria’s throat? Her mom’s on the phone.\n\nDARIA: I hate you. (taking the phone) Hello (Bt) Okay (Bt) No I’ll stay here tonight. (Bt) That’s privileged information. (Bt) I don’t think- (sigh) Alright, I’ll ask. (Bt) No you cannot wait for an answer. I’ll let you know later. (Bt) Bye.\n\n(Daria hangs up the phone and sighs.)\n\nDARIA: Dad’s spending the night in the ER. And since I wouldn’t come home (smirk) Quinn is staying with Mom in the waiting room. \n\nJANE: Oooh, we may have to get up early to go visit. I just got film for my camera. (Bt) So what are you supposed to be asking?\n\nDARIA (sighing): Mystik Spiral and the soon to be deceased Jane Lane have been formally invited to the Morgendorffer 4th of July barbecue.\n\nJESSE: Cool.\n\nDARIA: No, not cool. Basically they want a second chance to grill you. They only invited everyone else so it wouldn’t be as obvious.\n\nJESSE: Oh.\n\nTRENT: So then we won’t go. We can have our own party here.\n\nDARIA: A noble idea, but they’d only find another way to try and trap him. Mom mentioned a quiet dinner with the family instead. We’re doomed either way.\n\nJANE: So then let’s use this to our advantage. (grin) She thinks she’s making it less obvious by inviting all of us, so let’s use it against her. \n\nJESSE: How?\n\nJANE: You don’t think any of us are gonna let you go down without a fight, do you Jess? My guess is, they’re gonna try and pull Daria away so Helen can corner him.\n\nDARIA: Probably\n\nJANE: I say we don’t let that happen. The rest of us can run interference. Between the four of us, we should be able to make sure Jesse is never alone, even if they can pry Daria off him.\n\nDARIA (warning tone): Jane…\n\nJANE: And Quinn is likely to invite the Fashion Fiends, so we can really get Sandi good.\n\nDARIA: You have redeemed yourself Lane. You may live another day.\n\nJANE (smirking): Thank you Oh Gracious One. (Bt) Now let’s talk strategy. I wanna make sure they never invite us to another barbecue again.\n\n(The girls smirk as the guys exchange “what have we gotten ourselves into?” glances)\n\n[MONTAGE]\n\n(The girls and the band walk down Dega Street. We see them go into several stores, the number of shopping bags they carry growing with each one. They stop at one that has several mannequins dressed in torn jeans and t-shirts, another whose display is filled with spike collars and leather wrist cuffs as well as various types of body jewelry. They wander into a shoe store that displays a lot of boots in various styles and a shop that seems to sell beauty supplies for the darker side. Finally we see them coming out of a store that sells leather wares. They pause in front of the next shop and we see that it’s Axl’s. Jane raises an eyebrow and smirks at Daria, who shakes her head furiously. Jesse puts his arm around Daria and shakes his head at Jane. He smiles a little as they continue walking and Daria doesn’t pull away from him. Trent stares at the window for a moment then follows.)\n\n[END MONTAGE]\n\n\n[SCENE 8]\n\n(The Lane kitchen. Jane is sitting at the table with a towel around her shoulders. In front of her is a bowl, some foil, and two boxes of hair dye. Daria stands beside her scowling with her arms crossed.)\n\nDARIA: Absolutely not! We have already established that I cannot dye hair.\n\nJANE: You’d never done it before, you’re experienced now!\n\nDARIA: Nope, not happening. Do you remember how long it took for you to start talking to me again the last time? I’m not going through that again Jane.\n\nJANE: Aw, c’mon Daria. Who else am I gonna get to do it?\n\nNICK (poking his head into the kitchen): I can do it.\n\n(Both girls look at him wit raised eyebrows.)\n\nNICK: What? You don’t think my hair naturally changes color every few weeks, do you?\n\nDARIA (relieved): Thank you Nick. I think I’ll go find the others. That dye stinks.\n\nNICK: They’re up in Trent’s room (air quotes) writing.\n\nDARIA: So in other words, you left before you killed Max over creative differences.\n\nNICK (snort): That would imply that Max had any creativity.\n\n(Daria smirks as she walks out of the room. Nick steps over to the table and smiles.)\n\nNICK: So are we just doing streaks again? Or full throttle this time?\n\n(CUT TO: Trent’s room. Trent is leaned against the wall, sitting on his bed with an acoustic guitar in his lap. Jesse is sitting at the other end of the bed, another acoustic guitar lying on the floor beside him. Between them on the bed are a notebook and a pencil. Max is sitting on the floor cross-legged with a small box in front of him. His drumsticks are lying on top of the box. They’re all just sitting around staring at each other when Daria knocks, poking her head into the room.)\n\nTRENT: Hey Daria.\n\nDARIA: Hey guys, am I interrupting?\n\nTRENT: Nah, we need a break anyway. What’s up?\n\nDARIA (opening the door all the way): Nothing really. Nick is helping Jane dye her hair. I wanted to get out of there so I can’t be blamed if it goes wrong. \n\nJESSE (grinning): Don’t worry, Nick’s good. He helped Danny’s girlfriend with her hair and it turned out cool.\n\nDARIA: Danny has a girlfriend now? Isn’t he a little young?\n\nJESSE: Course not, he’s almost 15 now. Besides, we Morenos start young. Can’t keep the chicks off us.\n\nDARIA (deadpan): Oh yes, you stud. I am filled with an overwhelming desire for you. (Bt) Either that or I really shouldn’t have eaten that second shovel of onion rings.\n\n(Trent and Max laugh, Jesse just grins.)\n\nJESSE: You should announce your undying love for me at the barbecue just like that.\n\n(Daria smirks, leaning in the doorway.)\n\nDARIA: Who said anything about love? I hate to break it to you Romeo, but you’re just my last fling before college.\n\nJESSE: Damn, and I was already naming kids.\n\nDARIA: You can name ‘em and you can keep ‘em. I don’t do kids.\n\nTRENT: You put up with the Spiral pretty well.\n\nDARIA: The Spiral doesn’t need their diapers changed. \n\nMAX: Nah, but we need to be fed every couple hours.\n\nJESSE: And we sleep all the time.\n\nTRENT: And we do require some supervision to keep from killing eachother.\n\nJESSE (patting the bed between himself and Trent): Care to baby-sit?\n\nDARIA: Alright, but no bloodshed without giving me plenty of time to get Jane’s camera.','99108b41bc8d738ad081f50e0eb6cbf7',0,'','1hn3nc1q',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463847,32007,6,1125,0,'75.14.15.37',1298870035,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Summer Fling (PART 4)','Hmm...

With frantic energy, she flitted past windows and doors, careful to walk along lawns and flowerbeds whenever possible so that her heels made as little noise as she could manage. \n\n	Finally, after over an hour\'s covert flight, she reached the lawn she had so fervently been seeking and as she passed that odd sculpture, sagged visibly with relief. After carefully arranging her face in her usual stoic expression, extended one lace-sheathed hand and rang the bell. A moment\'s fear widened her eyes as she realized Trent might answer the door, but that thought was soon pushed aside; she was too tired to care.\n\n	A scant forty-two seconds later (was she counting? of course she was) the door swung inward and a full minute of stunned silence followed.\n\n	Daria Morgendorffer stood on the doorstep of Casa Lane inexplicably clad in a skimpy maid\'s uniform that offered a spectacular view of her black lace bra (if she wasn\'t a C cup, Jane would run down the streets  naked on St. Patty\'s Day with &quot;KISS ME I\'M IRISH&quot; painted on her ass). The extremely brief skirt was slit nearly to her waist on the right side, garters clearly  showing, and was so short the only reason the outfit barely made it as decent was because the apron just managed to retain Daria\'s feminine modesty, though not by much. Her rather dainty feet were clad in black stiletto heels, hair teased out into an auburn corona about her head and topped by a white maid\'s cap. Her face was several shades paler, eyes accented by black liner and lips painted bright scarlet. She wore no glasses and stood glaring at Jane with an authentic feather duster in her gloved right hand.\n\n&quot;Oh,&quot; Jane Lane breathed with an ecstatic grin. &quot;I have GOT to hear this one.&quot;\n\n	Daria\'s glare deepened to a warning scowl.\n&quot;One word, Lane, and this duster\'s gonna do a disappearing act that\'ll keep you on your feet for a very long time.&quot;\n\n	Jane\'s grin widened to Cheshire Cat proportions and she turned to holler over her shoulder.\n&quot;Hey, Trent! You gotta get a load of this!&quot;\n\n	Before Daria could make good on her threat, Trent Lane entered the hall with an uncharacteristic bellow of &quot;Goddammit, Janey, what is it?!&quot;\n\n	And the girls could do nothing but stare.\n\n	Trent stood in a pair of ten inch heels, garters, hose and a black leather corset, long-fingered hands buried in his for once un-spiked hair. His face, too, was several shades paler, lips painted a crimson suspiciously similar in shade to Jane\'s lipstick and eyes lined black. His ears and throat were ornamented with pearls which Jane recognized as having once belonged to their grandmother. At that moment Trent opened his eyes, spotted Daria and froze. Identical expressions of shock chiseled their faces as in unison they pointed at one another and shouted,\n\n&quot;That was YOU?!&quot;\n\n	Jane, it can be understood, was utterly lost.\n---------------\n\nI fully intend to finish this, I just needed a gauge to see how it would be received.','4ef903b26e0a0324bd87caf665ffa3ff',0,'','2a937bnc',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463852,30649,6,1125,0,'75.14.15.37',1298873177,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Scenes no Daria fanfic should have: Damn The Torpedoes!','Oh my god, you have to finish this!\n <!-- s:fork: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/pitchfork.gif\" alt=\":fork:\" title=\"Pitchfork\" /><!-- s:fork: -->  <!-- s:fork: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/pitchfork.gif\" alt=\":fork:\" title=\"Pitchfork\" /><!-- s:fork: -->  <!-- s:fork: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/pitchfork.gif\" alt=\":fork:\" title=\"Pitchfork\" /><!-- s:fork: -->  <!-- s:fork: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/pitchfork.gif\" alt=\":fork:\" title=\"Pitchfork\" /><!-- s:fork: -->  <!-- s:fork: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/pitchfork.gif\" alt=\":fork:\" title=\"Pitchfork\" /><!-- s:fork: -->  <!-- s:fork: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/pitchfork.gif\" alt=\":fork:\" title=\"Pitchfork\" /><!-- s:fork: -->  <!-- s:fork: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/pitchfork.gif\" alt=\":fork:\" title=\"Pitchfork\" /><!-- s:fork: --> \n\nOnce again, you failed to look at the name of this thread before posting something!

They have an odd sensibility that would suit her.\n\nBut she might like classical music too. I bet would be a big fan of J.S. Bach. Beethoven, of course, and some Mozart. Vivaldi?

I did, however, use the word &quot;our&quot;, by which I meant &quot;western democracies&quot; - I could have been more clear about that.[/quote:20vdxsa6]When you said \'disgusted with [b:20vdxsa6]my[/b:20vdxsa6] government, I took you to be referring to \'our\' government in the sense of yours and mine, that is, the Australian government.[quote=&quot;Deref&quot;:20vdxsa6]\n\n[quote=&quot;J-D&quot;:20vdxsa6]Maintaining diplomatic relations is not the same thing as support. A neutral country which continues to recognise and maintain diplomatic relations with two countries at war with each other is not supporting both of them (and may not be supporting either of them). The Soviet Union and Japan continued to recognise each other and maintain diplomatic relations from 1941 to 1945, but Japan was not supporting the Soviet Union against its ally Germany and the Soviet Union was not supporting Japan against its allies either.[/quote:20vdxsa6]\nI disagree. Anything that adds legitimacy is tantamount to support.[/quote:20vdxsa6]Well, I\'m still not convinced about that. I don\'t think maintaining diplomatic relations adds up to a [i:20vdxsa6]lot[/i:20vdxsa6] of support. But what if we suppose it does? If Australia (for example) took the position of only maintaining diplomatic relations with democratic countries, we would have to break off relations with China, for example. That might turn out to do us a lot of economic damage, and if it did I think a lot of people in Australia might, with some reason, be unhappy about what the government had done. It might be a highly principled stance, but could we afford the cost of it? And the damage from that kind of policy might not only be economic. Would the world have been a safer place during the Cold War if the US had no diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union? That might have been a very dangerous strategy to pursue.\n\nOf course, another option would be to say that we\'re only going to break off diplomatic relations with dictatorships which aren\'t important to us because they\'re small and/or poor and/or weak and/or remote, but (reluctantly perhaps) maintain diplomatic relations with dictatorships which are important to us because they\'re big and/or rich and/or strong and/or closely connected. But how principled a policy would that be?\n\nIt is mostly for this kind of reason that most governments of most countries follow a policy of maintaining some sort of diplomatic relations in most cases with the governments that are actually physically in control of other countries, no matter how they got there. It isn\'t because they have no conscience at all. Or at any rate it isn\'t [i:20vdxsa6]only[/i:20vdxsa6] because they have no conscience at all. I\'m not saying that I think they always (or even mostly) make the right decisions, or that they shouldn\'t be criticised, I\'m just saying that it\'s only fair criticism to notice that they are often intrinsically difficult decisions to make.','1383e4d8b3bed5e59d20eb4de81b3825',0,'4A==','20vdxsa6',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463870,31919,3,1184,0,'211.28.136.31',1298885183,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The Completely Random Post Thread: Common Cold Edition','[quote=&quot;Wouter&quot;:312ff3dz]I HATE techno[/quote:312ff3dz]\nI love techno. <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D -->\n\nHere\'s some vintage techno that captures the sense of pride the Detroit movement had:\n\n[youtube:312ff3dz]iYAIJjZD1I0[/youtube:312ff3dz]','e08bf670fa73d7418c0c03fb0ed4fd0b',0,'gAE=','312ff3dz',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463871,30910,5,1001,0,'79.159.215.196',1298888831,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: What Are You Reading?

From the types of planes we can see, this is an area for cargo planes rather than passenger jets. We see a couple of crew members unloading packages from a FEDES delivery plane onto a cart for movement to another jet.)\n\nCREW GUY #1: So I’m talking to her and I say, “Look, just because it CAN fit up there, doesn’t mean it SHOULD! I mean, what if the chicken doesn’t like it up there?”\n\nCREW GUY #2: That’s really sick, Bill.\n\nCREW GUY #1: Aaah, you’re just an old prude, Jim.\n\n(As the two continue to talk, a package comes down the conveyer belt from the plane. The label shows it to be on it’s way to a Vivian Chung in Hong Kong. As it passes by the controls for the belt, there’s a spark and the conveyer belt speeds up, spewing packages all over the tarmac.)\n\nCREW GUY #1: Oh, shit!\n\n(As the packages go flying, the Hong Kong package sails through the air, and bounces off the cart, ripping the packing tape. Another package sails through the air and knocks a similar sized package off the cart. It also catches the cart on the edge and rips the packing tape.)\n\n(Both packages crash to the tarmac, the ripped tape giving way, causing the contents of both packages to spew out their contents in a shower of styrofoam peanuts. A plaster skull bounces out of the second, while a strange jade mask with painted red eyes rolls out of the first. Both items roll across the tarmac, each winding up next to the box the other came from.)\n\n(The crew finally manages to shut off the conveyor and begins rounding up the packages. One of the crew guys comes over to the two boxes. He’s puzzling over them when…)\n\nCREW GUY #2: BILL! Hurry up and get those two repacked! The boss is coming!\n\n(Crew Guy #1 eeps and quickly shoves the items into the boxes along with as many peanuts as possible, gets out a roll of packing tape, seals the boxes up and places them on the cart. As he does so, we see the box with the jade mask inside.

Two to Four Weeks Later…\n\n(We see O\'Neill\'s classroom. The class is bored to tears as usual.)\n\nO\'NEILL: So what exactly is Louis Stevenson trying to tell us in &quot;Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?&quot; Daria?\n\nDARIA: (sighs) I believe the general consensus is that Mr. Hyde is supposed to represent the evil inherent in all humanity.\n\nO\'NEILL: True, but if we look closer at the motivations of Mr. Hyde, isn\'t there a commentary on the social injustices of Victorian London?\n\nDARIA: No.\n\nO\'NEILL: No? Oh...well then, how about the brutal slaying of Sir Danvers Carew. Surely the murder of a knighted nobleman has a broader social context.\n\nDARIA: No, it doesn\'t.\n\nO\'NEILL: Oh dear? Why?\n\nDARIA: Well, for starters, Hyde already trampled a girl from the lower classes, proving that he doesn\'t give a damn about anyone\'s social status. But, in all honesty, I think all this symbolism you\'re looking for doesn\'t exist since Louis Stevenson himself allegedly referred to it as a &quot;bogey tale,&quot; meaning that he was out to scare people, not write some social commentary.\n\nO\'NEILL: But can a writer TRULY write something that is meant to be a simple story? After all, each author is a product of their time, and Louis Stevenson\'s &quot;bogey tale&quot; may indirectly be a social critique on the class struggle that was evident back then, and indeed, today...\n\n(Dissolve to later. The class is leaving. Daria and Jane make their way to the door.)\n\nO\'NEILL: Oh, Daria? Could I see you for just a minute.\n\n(Daria sighs again.)\n\nJANE: I\'ll save you a place in line.\n\nDARIA: Oh please do, I can\'t wait to get even more frozen lasagna that I do at home.\n\n(Jane smirks and leaves. Daria turns to O\'Neill.)\n\nO\'NEILL: Daria, are you feeling all right?\n\nDARIA: Aside from my resentment at being kept from lunch, I\'m fine.\n\nO\'NEILL: Well, it\'s just that I noticed you didn\'t really participate in the discussion. I thought the subject matter would appeal to you.\n\nDARIA: Look, Mr. O\'Neill, I didn\'t have a problem with the book, I just don\'t agree with your anaylsis.\n\nO\'NEILL: Then you don\'t believe there is evil inherent in everyone?\n\nDARIA: I don\'t believe in evil.\n\nO\'NEILL: You don\'t? What about people like Joseph Stalin? Mussolini? Hitler?\n\nDARIA: They were insane and mass murdering butchers, but I don\'t think they were evil as people seem to think of the concept. I think humanity\'s just selfish, and the more selfish you are the more society hates it, and slaps the label &quot;evil&quot; on it to justify it\'s own indignation.\n\nO\'NEILL: (brightening) Oh my! That\'s brilliant, Daria!\n\nDARIA: Excuse me?\n\nO\'NEILL: In fact, I\'ve come up with a wonderful idea. Another special assignment!\n\nDARIA: Mr. O\'Neill...\n\nO\'NEILL: I want you to apply this philosophy of yours to &quot;Dr. Jekyll &amp; Mr. Hyde.&quot; You can do this anaylsis in lieu of the regular assignment!\n\nDARIA: I didn\'t expect to have to defend my position.\n\nO\'NEILL: But it\'s such a fresh perspective! I know the other students will find it as fascinating as I do!\n\nDARIA: Hang on a minute. What do you mean?\n\nO\'NEILL: You can write the anaylsis, read it to the class, and then we\'ll have an inclass debate to see which interpretation they think is true!\n\nDARIA: Oh, God...\n\nO\'NEILL: Don\'t worry, Daria. I\'m sure the other kids will find your ideas intriguing.\n\nDARIA: Sure they will...and then they\'ll get that lynching they\'ve always wanted.\n\n(Cut to the hallway, as school is ending. Daria and Jane are walking down the hall.)\n\nDARIA: ...so now I have to write an analysis showing how Mr. Hyde isn\'t a representation of evil, but of selfishness. And present it to the class on Monday.\n\nJANE: Shame. You should have said that Hitler wasn\'t selfish, just cranky.\n\nDARIA: Oh yes, I remember that discussion. Hitler didn\'t really intend to kill every Jewish person in Europe, he just got up on the wrong side of the bed.\n\nJANE: And there was no strudel. Unless you point out there was no strudel that morning, the whole thing falls apart.\n\nDARIA: (sighs again) I don\'t know. Maybe I should just keep my mouth shut from now on.\n\n(They arrive at their lockers. Jane opens hers easily, but Daria\'s is being stubborn. She fiddles with the latch.)\n\nDARIA: (muttering) Come on you stupid...\n\n(She yanks hard on the latch and the door flies open and slams right in her face. Daria loses her balance and lands flat on her butt in the hallway, a few other kids around laugh at her. Daria blushes, embarrassed. And to add to all this, Upchuck arrives on the scene.)\n\nUPCHUCK: What\'s this? A fair maiden in distress? Please, allow me to help you up.\n\n(He holds out a hand. Daria looks at him skeptically, then takes it. He hauls Daria up, but deliberately pulls a little too hard, causing Daria to stagger past him slightly, and her skirt to flip up slightly. Upchuck leers at the brief glimps of Daria\'s undergarments. Daria spots the leer, and responds with a quick twist of the foot, that trips Upchuck and sends him sprawling on the floor.)\n\nDARIA: Try that again, and you will find yourself bending in ways men were not meant to bend.\n\nUPCHUCK: (groans)\n\nDARIA: (to Jane) Let\'s go.\n\n(They walk down the hall, Jane looks visibly concerned)\n\nJANE: Are you sure you\'re okay? I\'ve never seen you get that...\n\nDARIA: Pissed?\n\nJANE: Physical. What\'s the problem?\n\nDARIA: I don\'t know. I just woke up in a really bad mood this morning, and the day hasn\'t gotten any better.\n\nJANE: Ah. Well, I know what can make a bad day better. Pizza, my treat.\n\nDARIA: (considers for a minute) All right. What the hell.\n\nJANE: That\'s the spirit! Let\'s cut through the stadium. Less chance of running into any other members of the Jerk Patrol.\n\n(They head out a side door of the school and out to the stadium, where the football team is practicing. We see Kevin calling a play.)\n\nKEVIN: Blue 32! Blue 32! Set...hut HIKE!\n\n(The team scatters. Kevin rears back for a pass and throws. The reciever misses and the ball flies right into the back of Daria\'s head.)\n\nDARIA: Aaaah!\n\n(She falls forward. Her glasses fall off her face and she lands on them with a sickening CRUNCH. Daria gets back up, and holds up her glasses. The frames are bent out of shape and one of the lenses is severely cracked.)\n\nDARIA: Crap.\n\n(Kevin and Mack come up.)\n\nMACK: Hey, Daria, you okay?\n\n(Jane helps Daria back to her feet.)\n\nDARIA: Yeah, I\'m fine.\n\nKEVIN: Dude, why did you walk right there? Practice is in session!\n\nDARIA: I\'m sorry, I thought walking a full thirty yards away from the field would be safe.\n\nKEVIN: But, we were practicing! Only the team and the cheerleaders are supposed to be on the field during practice!\n\nMACK: Kevin...\n\nKEVIN: You know that Mack Daddy...it\'s like our church or something, but without Jesus...\n\nMACK: Shut up, Kevin!\n\n(Daria glares at Kevin, then sighs, too worn out to even make a sarcastic comment. She walks off.)\n\nJANE: Kevin, do me a favor?\n\nKEVIN: Yeah?\n\nJANE: The next time you see Brittany, ask her how much she liked hanging out with Phil Stevens, will you?\n\nKEVIN: Phil? The line backer?\n\nJANE: That\'s him. Adios, boys.\n\nMACK: Bye Jane. Tell Daria I\'m sorry about that.\n\nJANE: Will do. (she runs to catch up with Daria. Mack and Kevin turn to go back to the field.)\n\nKEVIN: HEY! SINCE WHEN WAS BRITTANY HANGING OUT WITH PHIL?!\n\n(Outside the stadium, Jane finally catches up with Daria.)\n\nJANE: Daria, wait up!\n\n(Daria sighs again and stops)\n\nJANE: Look, don\'t worry, we\'ll get pizza and everythng will be fine.\n\nDARIA: Actually, I\'m just gonna take a rain check on the pizza. Right now I just want to go home, grab my spare glasses and a book and forget today ever happened.\n\nJANE: Well, okay...if you\'re sure you\'re gonna be okay.\n\nDARIA: (smiling slightly) I\'ll be fine. Besides, Tom\'s taking me out to the movies tonight.\n\nJANE: (grinning) Ahhhh. Say no more.\n\nDARIA: Keep your NC-17 rated thoughts to yourself, Lane.\n\nJANE: Oh right, I forgot...you have plenty of your own to amuse yourself with.\n\nDARIA: Bitch.\n\nJANE: (grins)\n\n(Chez Morgendorffer. Jane and Daria part company. Daria holds her glasses up to her face, opens the door, and goes inside.)\n\nHELEN: (from offscreen) Daria? Is that you?\n\nDARIA: Yeah. (she drops her backpack on the couch. Helen comes into the room.)\n\nHELEN: Oh good, I was hoping that--what happened to your glasses?\n\nDARIA: An ill advised shortcut. Don\'t worry, I still\n\nhave my spares up in my room.\n\nHELEN: Hmm, all right. Anyway, Daria, I\'m glad I caught you. Your father and I are having dinner with one of his clients, but I\'m expecting an important call from California here tonight, so I need you to be here so you can give them my cell phone number.\n\nDARIA: You mean they don\'t have it already?\n\nHELEN: The damn printers left it off my business cards! They finally get my correct email address on there, and leave off the cell phone number. So, of course, which card does Richardson get when he swings by the office last week?\n\nDARIA: Mom!\n\nHELEN: Oh! (ahem) Anyway, sweetie, since your father and I won\'t be home, I need to be sure that Mr. Richardson gets my cell phone number.\n\nDARIA: What about Quinn?\n\nHELEN: Quinn has a date.\n\nDARIA: So do I. Tom is taking me to the Peckinpah film festival tonight.\n\nHELEN: Peckinpah? Daria, I\'m not so sure I want you seeing all that violence...\n\nDARIA: Mom, there\'s worse stuff on primetime TV.\n\nHELEN: Well, either way, maybe you could catch a late showing with Tom after Mr. Richardson calls.\n\nDARIA: He said he was picking up the tickets this afternoon.\n\nHELEN: (sighs) All right, Daria, I\'ll pay for the later show.\n\nDARIA: Throw in money for dinner and you have a deal.\n\nHELEN: Admission and snacks, final offer.\n\nDARIA: It\'s been a bad day...\n\nHELEN: And it\'s going to get worse if you don\'t stop pushing your luck.\n\nDARIA: All right. Deal.\n\nHELEN: Good. (she goes back into the kitchen for her purse. Daria follows.)\n\n(Cut to the kitchen. Helen picks up her purse. There is a small box on the kitchen table.)\n\nHELEN: (indicating the package) Oh, that came in the mail for you today.\n\nDARIA: Oh good. My replica came.\n\nHELEN: Replica? Of what?\n\nDARIA: The Elephant Man\'s skull.\n\nHELEN: Daria...(she gives Daria a few bills, and looks like she\'s about to start in on the skull when the phone rings. She pickes it up.) Helloooo, Helen Morgendorf--Oh, hello Tom! Yes, she\'s right here.\n\n(Helen hands the phone to Daria, then leaves the room. Split screen, Daria on the left, Tom on the right.)\n\nDARIA: Hello.\n\nTOM: Hey, how\'re things going?\n\nDARIA: I got stuck with a stupid assignment on the nature of evil in English class, my locker wouldn\'t open, Upchuck made a more blatant pass than usual, my glasses are broken, and I have to shove our date back a couple of hours because one of Mom\'s clients never got her cell number, so I have to act as operator. All in all, it\'s been a lousy day.\n\n(Tom\'s expression grows uncomfortable.)\n\nTOM: Gee...um, I hate to say this, but your day\'s about to get worse. My dad just announced that we don\'t spend enough time together as a family, and as such he\'s hauling us off to the theatre tonight.\n\nDARIA: Didn\'t you tell him we had a date?\n\nTOM: I tried, but he just threw a wad of cash at me and told me to take you out tomorrow instead. &quot;Tonight\'s a night for family.&quot; he said.\n\nDARIA: Great.\n\nTOM: If it makes you feel any better, Elsie got screwed over too.\n\nDARIA: Not really.\n\nTOM: Sorry, if I\'d know your day was already that bad--\n\nDARIA: It\'s fine. Forget about it. I should have seen it coming anyway.\n\nTOM: So, we\'ll go see &quot;The Wild Bunch&quot; tomorrow, then?\n\nDARIA: Sure. Have fun at the theatre.\n\nTOM: Did I mention it\'s &quot;Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat?&quot;\n\nDARIA: Suddenly, I don\'t feel so bad.\n\n(The two share a quiet laugh.)\n\nTOM: All right. I have to go, gotta make the old man happy.\n\nDARIA: Make sure you take some cellophane wrapped candy. See if you can put the dancers off their stride.\n\nTOM: Good idea. I\'ll see you tomorrow.\n\nDARIA: Bye.\n\n(They hang up. Daria sighs, picks up the phone again and dials.)\n\n(Split screen, Daria on the left, Jane on the right.)\n\nJANE: Yo.\n\nDARIA: Hey, it\'s me. Tom\'s being shanghaied into an evening of pain, suffering, and bad musical theatre. Feel like letting me cash in that rain check?\n\nJANE: Ouch. No can do, amiga. The muse mugged me as soon as I got into the room. It\'s gonna be a long night of painting for me. You know how it is.\n\nDARIA: (sighs) Yeah, I do.\n\nJANE: You could come over and watch...\n\nDARIA: No, that\'s all right. I have to stick around here tonight, anyway.\n\nJANE: Sorry.\n\nDARIA: It\'s okay. Have fun.\n\n(They hang up. Daria sighs again,picks up the box and goes up to her room.)\n\n(Cut to Daria\'s room, later. She\'s reading a book on her bed, now wearing her spare glasses. Quinn comes into the room.)\n\nQUINN: Daria, have you seen my fuschia scarf?\n\nDARIA: No.\n\nQUINN: Are you sure? Because I thought I left it in the bathroom, and it might have gotten mixed up with your laundry, though I don\'t know how Dad would have made that mistake and--\n\nDARIA: (slamming her book shut and looking up) You have exactly three seconds to shut up and get the hell out of my room.\n\nQUINN: Jeez, sorry Daria. You know just because Tom canceled your date is no reason to take it out on those of us who do have things to do tonight.\n\nDARIA: Three.\n\nQUINN: I mean, if I were in your position, I\'d just go out anyway and find some nice guy to take me out.\n\nDARIA: Two.\n\nQUINN: But then, Tom might get jealous and the two of them would--\n\nDARIA: ONE!\n\n(She gets up off the bed and begins stalking towards Quinn.)\n\nQUINN: Eep!\n\n(Quinn dashes out of the room, Daria slams the door shut, then turns back to the room.)\n\nDARIA: God, just kill me now, please.\n\n(As she walks back to the bed, she spots the box. It\'s still unopened.)\n\nDARIA: Well, at least one thing went right today.\n\n(She moves the box to the desk, cuts open the packing tape and roots through the peanuts, finally unearthing the jade mask with the red eyes. She stares at it for a moment.)\n\nDARIA: (deadpan) This is not what I ordered.\n\n(Disgusted, she tosses the mask over her shoulder. It lands, face down on the floor behind her. Daria gets up from her desk. As she does so, we see he foot slip under the leg of her office chair. As she stands, she stumbles and falls. Landing face first into the mask.)\n\n(there is a flash of light, and we now see a decidedly different Daria than before. She stands there in a more flatteringly cut and much more vibrant version of her usual outfit: short lime green jacket with magenta lapels, worn open over a lemon yellow low cut T-shirt. Lavender miniskirt that barely comes to mid-thigh and to top it all off, fire engine red boots with platform soles.\n\n(And if the outfit is startling, even more so is Daria\'s new face. Her hairstlye is the same, but now her face is green, with cartoonishly huge blazing red eyes, and a mouthful of teeth the size of baseball cards set in a manic grin that seems to stretch all the way around her head. Her glasses have been replaced by a blue lensed pince-nez that is perched on her disproportionately small nose.)\n\nDARIA: WELL, WOULDJA LOOKIE HERE! LIFE JUST SEEMED TO GET A HELLUVA LOT MORE INTERESTING!\n\n(She turns to look out the window. It\'s a nice day, and the sun is setting.)\n\nDARIA: AHHHH...A LOVELY SUNSET OVER SUBURBIA. THE MUTED GOLD OF THE SUN SLOWLY SINKING INTO THE DISTANCE. \'TIS TRULY A SIGHT FOR LOVERS EVERYWHERE. AH, TO BE YOUNG AND IN LOVE..OR ATLEAST, YOUNG AND HORNIER THAN A BACK ALLEY TOMCAT.\n\nQUINN: (O/S) DARIAAAA! Could you keep it down? I\'m trying to get ready in here!\n\nDARIA: (grinning even larger) IS THIS MY SISTER I HEAR SCREAMING AT ME? a VIRTUOUS YOUNG MAIDEN FLAUNTING HER POPULARITY AND NEVER ENDING PARADE OF VACUOUS PEABRAINED MALES IN MY FACE WHEN MY PERSONAL LOVE MONKEY IS STUCK WATCHING ALLEDGED BIBLICAL FIGURES SING BAD POP MUSIC? NO! NO, I SAY!\n\n(Suddenly, we see Daria standing in front of a huge American flag, dressed as Patton.)\n\nDARIA: MEN, NO POOR SAP EVER HAD A GOOD TIME BY LOUNGING ABOUT IN HIS BEDROOM, BITchING AND MOANING ABOUT WHAT A BAD DAY THEY HAD. No, THEY WENT OUT AND KICKED ASS AND TOOK NAMES OF THE MORONS WHO ruined their day AND MADE THEM PAY! oH YES, HOW THEY MADE THEM PAY! AND THEN THEY WENT BACK TO THEIR RESPECTIVE BED PARTNERS AND THEY--BUT THAT\'S NEITHER HERE NOR THERE! aLL i WANT TO KNOW IS, aRE YOU WITH ME?!\n\n(Cut to a whole HORDE of be-Masked Darias)\n\nDARIAS: hELL, YES!!!\n\n(Cut back to the &quot;Patton&quot; Daria)\n\nDARIA: GOOD! NOW, LETS GET OUT THERE AND START HAVING SOME FUN--\n\n(At this point we hear Quinn\'s voice again.)\n\nQUINN: God, Daria, will you shut up! I can\'t hear by Boys R Guys CD!!\n\n(Close up on Daria, with teeth.)\n\nDARIA: BUT FIRST...\n\n(Cut to Quinn\'s room. She is dressed in whatever the current fashion is. She is also standing in front of her mirrors putting on a pair of earrings.The sound of Boys R Guys wafts through the room.)\n\nQUINN: (softly) And if you listen to me/I\'ll buy you a nice car...\n\n(Suddenly there\'s a slam as her bedroom door bursts open. Quinn whirls around, ready to ream whoever barged in, but her angry expression turns to shock at the apparition before her.)\n\n(Daria, dressed as a Euro trash fashion designer, is standing there, looking at Quinn with contempt.)\n\nDARIA: YOU ARE NOT SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING GOING OUT LIKE THAT, ARE YOU?\n\n(Before Quinn can react, Daria is standing beside her. She grabs the sash around Quinn\'s waist.)\n\nDARIA: DARLING, YOU SIMPLY MUST LAY OFF THOSE GRANOLA BARS! tIME TO TIGHTEN THE OL\' BELT...\n\n(She yanks the belt as tight as it will go. Quinn gasps and turns an odd shade of red.)\n\nDARIA: AND THOSE SHOES!\n\n(Daria shoves Quinn over onto the bed, and replaces Quinn\'s high heels with a pair of ludicrous three foot thick platform soles. She then stands Quinn up, causing the redhead to whack her head into the light fixture and fall flat on her face. Quinn looks up, dazed, to see the green faced Designer From Hell, cupping her chin gently.)\n\nDARIA: NOW, LET\'S TALK ABOUT YOUR MAKE UP...\n\n(Daria holds up a cordless drill with a variety of makeup products on some bizzare Clockwork Orange style attachment with lots of pointy bits and sharp edges. She pulls the trigger on the drill, which whirrs violently, and grins,showing more teeth than any human head should be allowed to contain.)\n\n(Cut to the exterior of Chez Morgendorffer)\n\nQUINN: (O/S) GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!\n\n(Cut back to Quinn\'s room. We don\'t see Quinn, but we hear her in the background.)\n\nQUINN: (O/S) ...oooooooogh...\n\n(We do see Daria standing in front of Quinn\'s mirrors, back in the neon ensemble we saw previously.)\n\nDARIA: WELL, THAT WAS FUN. BUT I SUPPOSE I REALLY SHOULD PRACTICE WHAT I PREACH. I MEAN, HERE I AM PLANNING A NIGHT TO END ALL NIGHTS ON THE TOWN, AND I CAN HARDLY GO OUT LOOKING LIKE THIS, CAN I?\n\nQUINN: (O/S) ....uuuuggggghhhhh...\n\nDARIA: GLAD YOU AGREE. NOW LET\'S SEE HERE...\n\n(Daria sticks her thumb in her mouth and begins blowing. Her cheeks puff, and her eyes bug out with the strain, when...*THOOMP!* *THOOMP!*)\n\n(Daria is now much more...developed...than before, and cleavage is now visible in the low neckline of her shirt.)\n\nDARIA: MUCH BETTER! AND NOW, I MUST BE OFF! PLACES TO WRECK, THINGS TO DESTROY, PEOPLE TO DO!\n\n(Cut to the large picture window on the exterior of Chez Morgendorffer. Daria, wearing a pair of old-fashioned driving goggles, crashes through the window on board a large Harley-Davidson. She executes a tight turn on the lawn, and roars off down the street, leaving a trail of flame behind her.)\n\nDARIA: WHOOOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!\n\n(Cut back to Quinn. Her room is a wreck and she stands there, done up like Elsa Manchester in &quot;The Bride of Frankenstein.&quot; She has a dazed look on her face.)\n\nQUINN: Wha\'happened?\n\n(Cut to the streets of downtown Lawndale. Daria is zipping along on the motorcycle, knocking over cars, garbage cans, pedestrians, basically anything that gets in her way.)\n\nDARIA: (singing) I LIKE THE NIGHTLIFE, I LOVE TO BOOGIE...SOMETHING SOMETHING--\n\n(She takes a turn the wrong way down a one way street, directly into the path of an oncoming semi truck)\n\nDARIA: NYA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!\n\n(CRASH! The bike is totaled. Daria, however, simply goes sailing over the truck and over the horizon, still screaming.)\n\n(Cut to Lawndale High stadium. The lights are on the football field and a locally televised game appears to be in progress. Daria comes screaming out of the sky and lands just outside the stadium, leaving a large crater. She staggers out, accordioning slightly.)\n\nDARIA: NO MORE FOR ME THANK YOU, I\'M DRIVING...\n\n(She shakes her head, restoring her shape, then looks around.)\n\nDARIA: WELL, ISN\'T THIS CONVENIENT? PLAY BALL, BOYS!\n\n(Cut to the inside of the stadium, Lawndale is winning over one of the other area high schools. We hear Upchuck\'s voice over the PA system.)\n\nUPCHUCK: And as we go in to the second quarter of this, our first televised Lawndale High fooball game against the Lakeside Penguins, Lawndale leads the score 14 to 7.\n\n(Cut to the filed. The team is getting ready to mobilize. Kevin calls out the play, the ball is hiked, and the team scatters. Kevin looks for someone to pass the ball to.)\n\nUPCHUCK: (O/S) QB Kevin Thompson has the ball, he\'s looking for an opening...\n\n(Cut to a Lawndale receiver in the open, waving frantically. Kevin grins and hurls the ball at the player. The player intercepts it and begins running the wrong way towards the Lawndale end zone.)\n\nUPCHUCK: He hurls the ball down field to an open receiver, but what\'s this? The receiver is running in the wrong direction! The players are standing dumbfounded!\n\n(Kevin stares at the rogue player for a minute then...)\n\nKEVIN: HEY!\n\n(He begins running to catch up with the receiver. The receiver stops running, for a second then begins running towards Kevin.)\n\nUPCHUCK: Folks, this has to be one of the strangest football games yours truly has ever announced, let alone the strangest in Lawndale High history. Kevin Thompson is going after the receiver, looks like he intends to stop the player before he scores a touchdown for the Penguins..wait, the receiver has changed course. He\'s heading right for Thompson!\n\n(WHAM! The two collide and fall to the ground in a tangle of limbs. The othe rplayers crowd around)\n\nUPCHUCK: OUCH! Tough break there Kevin, we felt that one up here in the booth.\n\n(Down on the field, Kevin and the receiver are being stretched out on the grass. On eof the players takes off the helmet of the reciever, revealling the green hues visage of Daria!)\n\nPLAYER: Hey! This dude\'s a chick!\n\n(Daria\'s eyes pop open, and she grins with all her teeth. She reaches up and grabs the player standing over her.)\n\nDARIA: THANKS, HANDSOME! MMMMMMMMMMMMM--WAA!\n\n(She pulls the player close and kisses him, eventually leaving him covered in saliva. She then springs to her feet and throws the player aside.)\n\nDARIA: NOW, WHERE\'S THE BALL?\n\n(She looks down, where Kevin has his helmet off and is moaning quietly,)\n\nDARIA: THERE IT IS!\n\n(She reaches down, tucks Kevin\'s head under her arm and dashes off, scattering the team, Kevin\'s body flapping behind her.)\n\nKEVIN: MMMMMMPPPPHHHH!\n\nDARIA: SHE\'S AT THE 30...THE 20...THE 10...NO ONE WILL CATCH HER...AT LEAST, NOT IF THEY KNOW WHAT\'S GOOD FOR THEM!\n\n(She passes into the end zone, picks Kevin up by the shoulders, and hoists him over her head.)\n\nKEVIN: Hey! Wait a seeeeccc--\n\nDARIA: SHE CROSSES INTO THE END ZONE AND SPIKES THE BALL!\n\n(And she does. Spiking Kevin so hard that his head is planted into the soil of the end zone. His body sticking upwards so he looks like an ostrich with it\'s head buried in the sand. Daria jumps into the air and begins doing a victory dance)\n\nDARIA: TOUCHDOWN! THE CROWD GOES WILD! UH-HUH, UH-HUH!\n\n(She abruptly stops her dance as Mack grabs her shoulder and spins her around. We see the rest of the team standing behind him looking pissed. Daria herself has returned to her default outfit.)\n\nMACK: All right, sister, game\'s over.\n\nDARIA: OH, MACKY, MACKY, MACKY...YOU ARE SO RIGHT. THE GAME IS OVER--\n\n(She turns away from him. Cut to a close up of Daria.)\n\nDARIA: BUT THE FUN IS JUST BEGINNING!\n\nMACK: WHERE THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM?!\n\n(We now see the football team running for their lives as Daria pursues them, now at the helm of a turbocharged bulldozer)\n\nDARIA: (now wearing a hardhat and coveralls, looking at a surveyors map, chomping on a cigar) NOW LESSEE HERE...VINNIE SAID THE CONDUIT WAS AROUND HERE SOMEPLACE...\n\n(The bulldozer knocks a few players up into the bleachers. The crowd of spectators is now screaming their heads off as they rush to escape. Daria yells out at the crowd)\n\nDARIA: AWWW, QUIT YOUR BITCHING! JEEZ, IT\'S NOT LIKE ANY OF YOU HAVEN\'T EVER SEEN A BULLDOZER BEFORE.\n\n(The bulldozer crashes into the scoreboard and makes a rather hasty exit from the stadium. The players and spectators that remain crowd around the bulldozer shaped hole in the wall. Mack and the team captain of the Penguins look at each other.)\n\nPENGUINS CAPTAIN: What do you think? A draw?\n\nMACK: Draw.\n\n(They shake hands.)\n\n(Cut to the Lawndale Arts Center)\n\nCAPTION: Later, at the Lawndale Arts Center\'s charity production of &quot;Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat...&quot;\n\n(Cut to the audience. We see the Sloane family. Angier and Katherine are enjoying the show, but Elsie and Tom just look bored. On stage is the usual flashy costuming and godawful music that constitues this alleged form of entertainment. The audience is rapt with attention, as the show is reaching the point of Pharoah\'s enterance. The giant sphinx face onstage rises, b ut instead of a bad Elvis impersonator, we see Daria dressed as Moses.)\n\nDARIA: LET MY PEOPLE GO!\n\n(The music abruptly stops and everyone in the room stares at her. Daria looks down at herself.)\n\nDARIA: OH CRAP! WRONG BOOK. SORRY, GUYS,\n\n(She walks down the steps to hostile glares from the cast. She looks at them as she reaches the bottom)\n\nDARIA: JEEZ, YOU MAKE ONE MISTAKE AND SUDDENLY THEY WANT TO CRUCIFY YOU...\n\n(Silence. Then one of the cast members comes over to her.)\n\nCAST MEMBER: (whispering) Get off the stage!\n\nDARIA: (hands her staff to the cast member and pulls out a script) HOLD THIS FOR A SECOND, SKIP. I KNOW I WAS MEANT TO BE IN THIS SHOW SOMEWHERE... (She pages through the script)\n\n(The cast member gets agitated and throws the staff down.)\n\nCAST MEMBER: Look, you stupid bitch, you\'re holding up the show! Get off the damn stage!\n\nDARIA: (finding a page in the script) Ah! HERE WE GO! STRANGE GREEN FACED GIRL INTERRUPTS PRETENTIOUS ROCK MUSICAL, MORONIC ILL-MANNERED CAST MEMBER CALLS HER A &quot;STUPID BITCH,&quot; CUE, IN THE WORDS OF ONE OF MY FAVORITE WEBCOMICS...\n\n(Cut to a scene of unbridled carnage, as Daria hauls out a massive machine gun and proceeds to fire it in random directions.)\n\nDARIA: ...THE SEGUE TO UNNECESSARY VIOLENCE! NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!\n\n(She continues firing indiscriminately. Cut to the Sloanes.)\n\nANGIER: GET DOWN!\n\n(He grabs Katherine and Elsie and yanks them down, Tom hits the floor on his own. Up on stage, Daria runs out of ammunition.)\n\nGUN: *CLICK**CLICK**CLICK*\n\nDARIA: DAMN CHEAP AMERICAN MADE PIECE OF CRAP. oH WELL...\n\n(She jumps off the stage, still in the Moses garb, and skips her way up the now deserted aisle. As she does so, she happens to glance down and see the Sloanes cowering in terror.)\n\nDARIA: WELL, HELLO THERE! PLAYING SARDINES? OOOH, I LOVE THAT GAME!\n\n(She drops down next to them. Katherine and Elsie let out little screams. Daria looks at them then at Tom.)\n\nDARIA: (to Tom) KINDA JUMPY, AIN\'T THEY?\n\nANGIER: Look, what do you want? Money? We\'ve got plenty! Take it! Take it all!\n\nDARIA: OH CUT IT OUT, JUNIOR. I DON\'T WANT YOUR CASH. I\'M JUST OUT TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. (she leers at Tom) CARE TO JOIN ME, HANDSOME? i\'M SURE WE COULD FIND SOME WAY TO AMUSE OURSELVES...\n\nTOM: Ummm...\n\nANGIER: YOU STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM MY SON!\n\nDARIA: (sighs, then whacks Angier with a large marlin) I DIDN\'T ASK FOR YOUR OPINION, YOU SECOND RATE SCROOGE MCDUCK!\n\nTOM: Um...look, I already have a girlfriend.\n\nDARIA: (standing up and posing melodramatically) OH CRUEL FATE! WHY MUST YOU MOCK ME SO! TO THINK THAT THE ONLY GUY WITH PERFECT TEETH AND A DAMN CUTE BUTT IN THIS TOWN IS ALREADY SPOKEN FOR! OH AGONY, OH SHAME, OH CANADA!\n\n(She starts bawling cartoonishly, then abruptly stops, and drops back down to Tom.)\n\nDARIA: OF COURSE, YOUR LITTLE SQUEEZE DOESN\'T HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT US, DOES SHE, SWEETCHEEKS?\n\nTOM: Uhhhhh...\n\nDARIA: THEN IT\'S A DATE! I GOT ONE OR TWO THINGS TO TAKE CARE OF FIRST, BUT I\'LL SEE YOU LATER TONIGHT, OKAY?\n\nTOM: But I--\n\nDARIA: OOOO! YOU FILTHY LITTLE PERVERT! I DON\'T DO THAT SORT OF THING...NOT ON THE FIRST DATE ANYWAY. (She grabs Tom and kisses him deeply, then drops him leaving him dazed on the floor.) CATCH YOU LATER, GORGEOUS. TOODLES!\n\n(Daria skips her way up the stares leving a very perplexed and halfway stunned Sloane family behind.)\n\n(Cut to the outside of the Arts Center. Daria has returned to the green/yellow/lavander/red ensemble. As she does so, several police cars pull up, and a plethora of armed officers appears on the scene.)\n\nLEAD COP: All right, you, put down your weapons and put your hands on top of your head! We have you surrounded!\n\nDARIA: (doing so) SURE THING OFFICERS! NICE TO SEE LAWNDALE\'S FINEST KNOW WHEN A REAL EMERGENCY IS GOING ON AND NOT JUST A SURPRISE SALE DOWN AT DO ME A DONUT!\n\n(A couple of cops come up to cuff her and frisk her down. As the one doing the frisking does so, he finds a button on Daria\'s belt marked &quot;DO NOT PUSH&quot;)\n\nCOP: What the?\n\nDARIA: I REALLY WOULDN\'T DO THAT IF I WERE YOU...\n\n(The cop, overwhelemed with curiosity, pushes the button. Suddenly, rockets fire in the heels of Daria\'s boots and she shoots off into the night.)\n\nDARIA: (receding into the distance) I TOLD YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOO...\n\n(Cut back to the cops who are standing there blackened and singed.)\n\nCOP #2: So, smart guy, who\'s gonna file the report on THIS?\n\n(Dissolve to later at the Sloane house. The family has arrived back at home.)\n\nKATHERINE: Tom, make sure you lock your windows. I don\'t want that...creature showing up again.\n\nTOM: Don\'t worry, Mom. I\'m barracading the thing shut tonight. Do you need any help with Dad?\n\n(We see Angier still looking like...well, like he was slapped with a fish,)\n\nANGIER: ...no thank you senator, I decline the egg rolls...\n\nKATHERINE: I think I can handle him, honey. Good night.\n\nTOM: Night, Mom.\n\n(Tom goes upstairs and down the hall to his room. He stands to one side of the door and opens it. When nothing jumps out, he sighs with relief and turns to go into the room.)\n\n(Cut to the light in Tom\'s room, which suddenly flicks on. Cut to Tom looking completely dumbfounded.)\n\nTOM: What the fu--\n\n(Cut to the bed, where we see Daria, still be-Masked, dressed in a scanty black lace teddy and striking a cover girl pose with her knees tucked underneathe rher and her hands behind her head.)\n\nDARIA: HI THERE, LOVERBOY! TOLD YA I\'D SEE YOU LATER!\n\n(Cut to a side view of Tom in the hallway, Daria leans out, grabs the shocked Tom by the lapels of his jacket, and yanks him into the room. As Tom sails into the room, Daria somehow manages to yank him right out of his pants, revealing that Tom is a boxers man. He\'s also still earing his socks and shoes. As soon as he\'s in the door slams shut, and the pants drop into a heap on the floor. Sounds of an amourous mugging in progress are then heard.)\n\n(Cut to a city skyline at night.)\n\nCAPTION: Meanwhile, in Edge City...\n\n(Dissolve to an well kept apartment. We see an attractive blond woman in her mid 30s sitting down in her living room with a sandwich and a glass of juice. Her hair is tied back in a ponytail. Her name is Kathy.)\n\n(She gets herself situated with a chair and a TV tray, finds her TV remote and clicks on the TV. She raises the glass to her lips as she flips through the channels. Suddenly, she does a spit take, and stares at the TV in shock. She turns up the sound.)\n\nTV: --and this is excluseive footage NBS has acquired from our local affiliate KSBC in Lawndale. As you can see from this footage, the mysterious &quot;Big-Head Killer&quot; has resurfaced again, following his recent rampage eight weeks ago in New York City, where seven people met their untimely end. Big-Head is credited for first appearing in Edge City, where several suspected Mafia heads reportedly met their untimely end at his hands, along with many of the city\'s police officers. Additional sightings have been reported in Sky City and New Orleans--\n\n(Sure enough, on the TV we can see the be-Masked Daria rampaging at the Lawndale High stadium.)\n\nKATHY: (whispering) Oh God...It\'s BACK.\n\n(She gets up quickly, knocking the TV tray over and grabs her phone. She dials frantically. We hear the phone ringing on the other end.)\n\nKATHY: Come on, come on...pick up already, you have to be home...\n\n(Cut to a small house across town. The foyer is dark. The phone is ringing. The door opens and a light is flipped on, revealling a square jawed,w eary looking man in his early 40\'s. This is Lt. Kellaway of the ECPD.)\n\nKELLAWAY: (to the ringing phone) Yeah, yeah, keep your shorts on. (he picks up the phone) Whaddya want?\n\nKATHY: Kellaway?\n\nKELLAWAY: Kathy? What\'s up? You sound upset.\n\nKATHY: Damn right I am, and you better get ready to be too. Put your TV on channel 7.\n\n(Kellaway frowns and takes his phone into the living room. He turns on the TV and sits on the arm of his couch.)\n\nTV: --Killer is well known for disappearing for months at a time, then reappearing in a massive spree of violence. Many believe the rampages could have been stopped if Lt. Kellaway of the Edge City Police Department had managed to capture Big-Head when he first appeared--\n\nKELLAWAY: (growls) Yeah, sure. You guys try it...\n\n(Split screen between Kellaway and Kathy)\n\nKATHY: What?\n\nKELLAWAY: Not you. The damn TV.\n\nKATHY: Stop worrying about your damn ego, Kellaway! This is serious! I thought you said the NYPD had the Mask in it\'s evidence locker!\n\nKELLAWAY: They did! I don\'t know how it got loose!\n\nKATHY: All right, never mind that. You do realize what this means?\n\nKELLAWAY: Yeah, I have to get to Lawndale.\n\nKATHY: Guess again, Kellaway.

[i:f4eabewj]He was so charming, so...exciting[/i:f4eabewj], she thought.  [i:f4eabewj]I\'m going to miss that.[/i:f4eabewj]  She frowned as a sudden pang of sorrow shot through her.  [i:f4eabewj]I\'m going to miss[/i:f4eabewj] him.  [i:f4eabewj]A lot.[/i:f4eabewj]  Biting her lip, she drummed her fingers on the seat rest.  [i:f4eabewj]Am I doing the right thing?  Maybe I shouldn\'t have rushed into this whole divorce thing.  I wonder...if we just take some time to cool off and maybe try some counseling or something....[/i:f4eabewj]\n\nThe pilot chose that moment to announce that the plane was beginning its descent, disrupting her thoughts before she could make up her mind.  Jason glanced over at her and, misinterpreting the distress on her face, said, &quot;I\'m sure it\'ll all turn out for the best.  You\'re making a big step, so it\'s natural to feel nervous.  At least you\'ve got your family to rely on.&quot;\n\nErin nodded without looking at him.  [i:f4eabewj]Family...oh!  I promised Mother I\'d call her at the Morgendorffers\' when I arrived.[/i:f4eabewj]\n\nOnce the plane had landed and the passengers were shuffling their way to the exit, Jason put a hand on her arm to get her attention.  He had to lean down to speak; now that they were standing, Erin noticed that he was taller than she\'d expected.  &quot;Listen,&quot; he said, &quot;I\'m going to be in town for a few days.  If you\'d like, maybe I can stop by the spa and see how you\'re doing?&quot;\n\n&quot;Sure,&quot; Erin said, giving him a wavering smile.  She was pretty sure he was trying to flirt with her, but she didn\'t care.  It would be nice to see a familiar face occasionally—even if it was one she\'d only just met.  &quot;I think Grandma made the reservation under my maiden name, Chambers.&quot;\n\nJason nodded and gave her a small wave as they parted.  Erin pulled out her cell phone and turned it on as soon as she was finished at the baggage claim, then hit the preset for the Morgendorffers\' house.\n\nA chirpy voice answered after only one ring.  &quot;Hello?&quot;\n\n&quot;Hi, Quinn.  It\'s Erin.&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh, hi, Erin! Sorry about Brian. I hate having to break up with guys I\'m dating.&quot;\n\nErin cringed.  [i:f4eabewj]God, I do [/i:f4eabewj]not [i:f4eabewj]want to talk about this right now. [/i:f4eabewj]  &quot;I, um, that\'s actually kind of different from—&quot;\n\nQuinn charged ahead, still as bubbly as ever.  &quot;No, you\'re right; marriage isn\'t the same as dating.&quot;  [i:f4eabewj]Shut up shut up SHUT UP![/i:f4eabewj]  &quot;Nobody ever gives you really nice appliances just for going out with a guy.&quot;\n\nAfter a brief stunned silence, Erin tried to reply but only managed a slight squeak.  She staggered against a nearby wall, taking deep breaths as she struggled to calm down.  Though she tried to suppress it, a small whimper escaped.\n\n&quot;Erin, why are you crying?&quot;\n\nAnother deep breath.  &quot;I\'m—I\'m not.  I\'m fine.&quot;  She swiped at her watery eyes with her palm and asked, &quot;Is my mother there?&quot;\n\n&quot;She\'s kind of busy with Mom right now.  Lawyer-y stuff, you know.&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh.&quot;  Erin started as the word &quot;lawyer&quot; triggered a thought.  &quot;Oh!  Um, I just remembered—could you tell her that Brian and I have a pre-nup?  We agreed to split everything fifty-fifty.  Crap, I can\'t believe I never told her about that.&quot;\n\n&quot;Okay.&quot;  \n\nAfter a few seconds, Erin could hear her cousin\'s muffled voice relaying her message.  While she waited, an alarm started beeping on her watch and she realized she needed to get a bottle of water.  The moment she heard silence on the line, she said, &quot;Quinn?  I\'ve gotta go.  Bye.&quot;\n\nHitting the &quot;end&quot; button, Erin quickly located a vending machine and bought some water.  She made her way into the nearest restroom, wheeling her suitcase along behind her, and pulled out a small pill bottle.  She glanced around to make sure no one was looking before shaking one out and swallowing it with a gulp of water.\n\nErin stuffed the pill bottle back into the suitcase.  [i:f4eabewj]It\'s been over two years[/i:f4eabewj], she thought.  [i:f4eabewj]I shouldn\'t still be embarrassed about this.[/i:f4eabewj]  Still, she checked to make sure the pill bottle was safely hidden before leaving the restroom. \n\nWalking outside, Erin quickly saw the car her grandmother had ordered for her and handed her suitcase over to the driver.  Sliding into the backseat, she thought again about the pills and sighed.  [i:f4eabewj]I\'m not the one who should be embarrassed, anyway.  It\'s Brian\'s fault.[/i:f4eabewj]\n\n\n\n[i:f4eabewj]&quot;It\'s your fault!&quot;  Erin stood in the doorway of Brian\'s apartment, clutching a medical report in her hand.  &quot;Herpes?!  How could you?&quot;\n\nBrian held up his hands, wide-eyed in the face of her fury.  &quot;I hadn\'t had an outbreak in a while so I figured it was no big deal!  I didn\'t think I could pass it on to you!&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, you did!&quot;  She gestured at him with the papers as though they were a weapon.  &quot;Jesus, do you have any idea how bad this is?  My mother is going to kill me!&quot;\n\n&quot;Just—just calm down, okay?  There\'s all kinds of pills and treatments and—&quot;\n\n&quot;I know, dammit!  But there\'s no freaking cure, right?  You\'ve completely ruined my life!&quot;  Erin buried her face in her hands and began to cry.\n\nBrian rolled his eyes.  &quot;You\'re being melodramatic.  I mean, [/i:f4eabewj]my [i:f4eabewj]life is fine, you know?&quot;  He glanced back at the tiny, poorly-furnished apartment behind him, littered with beer cans and roach-infested pizza boxes, and cleared his throat nervously.  &quot;I mean, well....&quot;\n\nErin let out another shuddering sob.  &quot;Oh, God, what is Grandma Barksdale going to say?&quot;\n\n&quot;Bark—Did you say Barksdale?&quot;\n\nErin sniffled.  &quot;Uh huh.&quot;\n\n&quot;Is your grandmother [/i:f4eabewj]Bethany Barksdale[i:f4eabewj]?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah.  You know her?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes!  I mean no, I haven\'t met her but—holy shit, everyone knows who Bethany Barksdale is!  She owns, like, half of Virginia or something!&quot;  Brian fell silent for a short time as Erin struggled to compose herself.  Finally, he stepped back and finally motioned for Erin to come inside.  &quot;Sit down, Erin.  Let\'s talk about this.&quot;\n\nShe stormed into the apartment and threw herself into a chair.  &quot;Fine.  Talk.  Explain to me how you [/i:f4eabewj]haven\'t [i:f4eabewj]just trashed any chance I had at having a real relationship with anyone, ever, just because [/i:f4eabewj]you[i:f4eabewj] couldn\'t keep it in your pants around some scuzzed-up skank!&quot;\n\nBrian settled into a chair next to her, making an obvious effort to keep his voice calm.  &quot;First of all, getting herpes was...an unfortunate result of my work as a secret agent.&quot;\n\nShe snorted.  &quot;That doesn\'t make any sense.  How would your job in intelligence cause you to get herpes?&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m afraid I can\'t divulge that information.&quot;  Brian\'s expression grew pained.  &quot;It was worth the cost, though, to protect this country from harm.&quot;\n\nErin started to give an angry reply, but the seriousness of his tone stopped her.  &quot;Really?&quot;  \n\nHe nodded.  &quot;I made the sacrifice willingly, but it wasn\'t right to make you share this burden.  I\'d like to make that up to you, if you\'ll let me.&quot;\n\nAnger forgotten, Erin stared at him in confusion.  &quot;How?&quot;\n\nBrian took her hand in his.  &quot;Erin, will you marry me?&quot;\n\nErin covered her mouth with her free hand.  &quot;You...you mean it?&quot;\n\nHe smiled.  &quot;It\'s only fair.  I got you into this, but we\'ll get through it.  Together.  If you—&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes!  Yes, I will!&quot;  Squealing, she threw her arms around him.  &quot;Mother is going to be thrilled!&quot;  She gasped and leaned back again.  &quot;Ohmygod!  There\'s so much we\'ll have to do!  We have to get a minister and rent a reception hall and buy the flowers and choose music and I have to get a dress!&quot;  Wide-eyed, she breathed, &quot;My wedding dress!&quot;\n\nBrian added, &quot;And there are a few legal things we\'ll need to take care of, first.  But don\'t worry your gorgeous little head about it—I know someone who can draw up some papers for us....&quot;[/i:f4eabewj]\n\n\n\nThe car pulled up to the spa and the driver got out to help Erin with her suitcase.  She followed him inside and approached the front desk.  On the way, she passed elegant columns and a huge window that provided an excellent view of a lush forest and, beyond that, a majestic mountain range.  She barely noticed it, though.  Nor did she pay attention to the soothing tones of a string quartet playing nearby.\n\n&quot;Good evening, ma\'am,&quot; said a cheerful receptionist with only a faint hint of an accent.  &quot;May I help you?&quot;\n\nErin went through the check-in process on autopilot and found her way to her room.  Once alone, she dropped onto the luxurious four-poster bed and stared at the ceiling.  [i:f4eabewj]I miss him.  I love him.  I\'m sure I do[/i:f4eabewj], she thought, biting her lip.  Exhausted and jet-lagged after spending most of the day on a plane, Erin felt herself drifting off to sleep.

First, she was shocked that she\'d kissed Kevin Thompson. Then she wondered why she\'d kissed Kevin.  Then, she was shocked that she\'d kissed Kevin Thompson. Then, she wondered why kissing Kevin had felt so natural. Then, she was shocked that she\'d kissed Kevin Thompson. Eventually, she decided she wasn\'t getting anywhere and got out of bed.\n\nDeciding coffee would be a logical next step, she filled the four-cup coffeemaker her mother had given her. While she waited for the coffee to brew, she hit the bathroom and noted that she looked even worse than yesterday. Clearly, some grooming was in order—well, after her first cup of coffee.  \n\nForty-five minutes later, a groomed, dressed, and caffeinated Daria was forced to confront two unfortunate truths: first, that last night had actually happened—she had kissed Kevin—and secondly, that she had no idea what to think or how to feel about it. Fortunately, she found that unlike with the emotional turmoil of the last couple of days, the confusion about Kevin wasn\'t all-consuming. So she sensibly shoved it to the back of her mind and went to class.\n\nBoth classes went smoothly, not that she expected anything else, and the midafternoon found her at the library catching up on the reading she normally would have done over the last couple of days. Buried in a badly written monograph on voting patterns in antebellum Kentucky, it took a moment to notice the person standing over her. Heart suddenly racing, she looked up... at the nervous face of Colleen O\'Leary.\n\n“Are you going to sit or just keep blocking my light?”  \n\n“I wasn\'t sure I would be welcome,” Colleen said softly as she slid into the seat across from Daria.\n\n“Yeah, about that,” Daria looked away, face heating with embarrassment. “I overreacted.  Especially since I was the one who called you.”\n\n“Yeah, well, I probably shouldn\'t have been keeping secrets from you. So are we good?”\n\n“Yeah,” Daria nodded. “We\'re good.”\n\n“Well, let me look at you, then,” Colleen said. “I was so worried about you for the last couple of days.”\n\n“Afraid I\'d grow another head and start trying to eat our fellow students?” \n\n“Well, yeah, but you\'ve still only got the two, so you\'re okay.” She reached a hand to her friend. “Seriously, Daria. When you wouldn\'t answer your phone, I got so freaked out—“\n\n“That you sent Kevin over.” Daria quirked a half-smile. “You\'ve had better ideas, you know.&quot;\n\n“I don\'t know,” Colleen said, her own smile now showing fully. “You\'re out, about, and talking to me. Something good must have happened.”\n\n“Well, I didn\'t kill him, if that\'s what you mean.” Daria was sure she\'d hidden the sudden thrill she\'d felt at the mention of \'something good,\' but something in her face must have changed, because Colleen\'s eyes lit with an unholy glee.\n\n“Something did happen,” she said, and laughed. “Don\'t try to deny it, Daria.  You suck at lying.” \n\n“I could just take the Fifth,” Daria said, strangely not displeased. “I don\'t have to say anything.”\n\nColleen just laughed all the harder. “I knew it. I knew there was something between you two,” she choked out between giggles.\n\n“Anytime you\'d like to shut up would be good,” Daria growled.\n\n“Come on, Daria. You have to admit, it\'s pretty funny.”\n\n“You know,” Daria said, and there was frost in her voice. “I\'ve been through emotional hell this week. It would be nice if my best friend could show something other than amusement.”\n\n“I\'m sorry,” Colleen said, though she didn\'t sound it. “So what now?”\n\nDaria rolled her eyes. Colleen was just too irrepressible to stay angry at. And the ball of confused emotion about Kevin that she\'d been ignoring all day sudden broke free and overwhelmed her. “I don\'t know,” she said in a small voice.  “I really don\'t know.”\n\n“Well,” said Colleen, sounding serious. “You could consider the situation rationally from a number of angles and consider whether going out with Kevin is the best thing to do.”\n\nDaria raised an eyebrow. “Who are you and what have you done with Colleen O\'Leary?”\n\n“I said you could do that, not that you should. The better option would be to embrace the moment and see where it takes you.”\n\nA little ice crept back into Daria\'s voice. “Didn\'t I try that with Bryce?” [i:trejty57]And Tom[/i:trejty57], she added mentally.\n\nIf Colleen was ruffled, she didn\'t show it. “Actually, you didn\'t. You kept things slow and let him court you. Which,” she raised a finger to forestall Daria\'s interruption, “was a good idea, since he turned out to be an asshole. But you know Kevin, and you know he\'s honest and he\'s not going to hurt you on purpose.”\n\n“But he might hurt me all the same.” [i:trejty57]Tom did.[/i:trejty57]\n\n“That\'s the price you pay for living, Daria,” Colleen said, and suddenly made a face. “And don\'t I sound like an After-school Special. Feel free to shoot me now.”\n\nDaria\'s wonderment at her friend\'s changeable moods lasted only a moment because her eyes suddenly met wide brown ones. Kevin blinked first. “Uh, sorry, Daria,” he stammered. “I didn\'t, huh, know you were— I wanted to— I\'m just gonna go now.” He turned and walked off, rather quickly, Daria noted.\n\n“Listen, Colleen,” she said, rising, “you\'re going to have to abuse me later. I have to talk to someone.”\n\nColleen\'s reply, if there was one, was lost in Daria\'s rush to find Kevin. She fairly flew up the stairs, but did not see Kevin in the lobby. Guessing that he wouldn\'t hang around, she sped out the front doors, where she saw the usual crowds on the quad in front of the library, but no Kevin. She took a moment to catch her breath and think. She knew he had no classes today, and although he wasn\'t the brightest light on the Christmas tree, she figured he was smart enough not to go directly back to his dorm. Besides, I can check there last if I don\'t find him. But knowing Kevin, where would he go if he was freaked out? A frisbee flew past her head, and she suddenly knew.\n\nShe\'d strenuously avoided the athletic facilities since arriving at Notre Dame, but she knew where they were. It was hard not to, since they took up a large part of the campus. The enormous football stadium dominated to complex, but there were also smaller structures for track and field, basketball, and other activities.  The whole complex hummed with motion, as guys and girls who were obviously athletes strode purposefully between buildings, some carrying equipment bags or backpacks, some empty-handed. Feeling something like an emigrant to a foreign country, she tried to wave down a hulking guy in a letter jacket, but he ignored her. She had better luck with a wiry girl almost a foot taller than her. \n\n“Excuse me? Where do the football players practice?” she asked.\n\nThe taller girl shrugged. ”In the stadium,” she said.\n\n[i:trejty57]That won\'t do at all,[/i:trejty57] Daria thought. “What about the scout team?”\n\n“Oh, that\'s right. They work out on the practice field over there.” The girl gestured toward a long, low set of bleachers. “Probably no one there, though. Practice doesn\'t start for a couple hours, I think.”\n\n[i:trejty57]Good. Now if only he\'s there.[/i:trejty57] “Thank you. You\'ve been a big help,” she said aloud, even as the other girl ambled off.\n\nDaria headed in the direction of the bleachers and soon enough came around them to see a wide green field, empty except for one person and a bag of footballs. She watched for a moment, heart suddenly hammering, as the figure reached into the bag, pulled out a football, and threw it at a distant target. She heard the clank as the ball bounded off the metal man-shaped target. The next ball, though, disappeared through a small hole where she assumed a person\'s hands would be. Several more disappeared before another one clanked off the metal. The figure didn\'t react either way; he just kept throwing.\n\nFinally, she worked up the nerve to walk over. He kept throwing, seemingly oblivious to her approach until she was close enough to touch his arm as he reached into the bag for another ball. Dropping the ball, he looked up with an angry expression, one that faded when he saw who had interruped him. “Oh, hi, Daria,” he said, trying for nonchalance and missing by miles. “Funny seeing you here.”\n\nWith nervously overwhelming her, the sarcasm reflex took over. “I know. It\'s almost like I came looking for you or something.”\n\nHe laughed nervously. “Why would you do that?”\n\n“I don\'t know,” she said. “Something about seeing you in the library and having you run off like I\'m Typhoid Mary or something.” \n\nInstead of responding, he reached down into the bag of footballs again. This time, however, he didn\'t aim for target. Instead, with a growl, he heaved the ball the length of the practice field and over the bleachers. Daria could only watch in amazement.\n\nWhen he finally spoke, his voice was raw. “I\'m sorry, Daria, for being such a jerk. If it makes you feel better, you can\'t be madder at me than I am.”\n\n“What do you mean?” she asked. “I\'m not mad at you. Well, except for the running away part. Chasing you down is no fun.”\n\nFor a long moment warring expressions competed on Kevin\'s face: shock, confusion, disappointment, maybe even hope. Finally, he blurted, “Why?”\n\n“Why am I not mad at you?”\n\nHe nodded, clearly still shocked.\n\n“Why would I be mad at you?” Daria sighed. “As far as I could tell, what happened last night was mutual. If I thought you\'d weaseled your way up to my rooms to put the moves on poor, broken Daria, I\'d be mad, but we both know you didn\'t do that. So why should I be mad at you?”\n\n“Well, we\'re friends, and friends aren\'t supposed to do that to friends.”\n\n“On the contrary, that\'s how some of the best relationships get started.”\n\nCompletely wrongfooted yet again, Kevin blinked, several times before finally saying, “Relationships? We weren\'t talking about relationships, were me? Did I miss something?”\n\nDaria sighed. “No, Kevin. We weren\'t talking about relationships.” Coldness welled up in her. “Does the idea bother you?” Her voice was small.\n\n“No,” Kevin said. “It\'s just that girls like you don\'t go out with guys like me.” \n\nDaria\'s mouth quirked and she could feel the sarcastic remark burning to escape, but to her everlasting shock, Kevin beat her to it. “I know that\'s the opposite of what I would have said in High School, but I\'ve met enough college girls to know it\'s true. You\'re a smart, beautiful girl, Daria, and I\'m just a dumb jock.”\n\n“Don\'t call yourself dumb, Kevin,” she snapped, and then her expression soften. “You\'re also honest, Kevin. You\'re the only person I know who\'s always been honest with me. And that counts for a lot.” A sense of possibility crept over Daria. She knew this could very well end in disaster, but it could also be a really, really good experience, something she hadn\'t opened herself fully to in a long, long time. “So, if you want to, we can give this thing a try.”\n\n“Give this thing—” he stammered. “You you want to go out with me?”\n\n“If you want to go out with me,” she said and smiled.\n\n“Yes, yes!” He said, and threw his arms around her in a wild embrace. “I can\'t believe it. I can\'t believe you\'ll go out with me.”\n\n“I can\'t believe it either,” she said, affecting a monotone, even as something inside her sand. “I mean, how the hell am I going to explain to Jane?”','30bea706b67dfe96d5ce7c7b0e120f48',0,'IA==','trejty57',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463891,31919,3,64,0,'173.9.37.98',1298904641,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The Completely Random Post Thread: Common Cold Edition','[quote=&quot;MartinUK&quot;:1fzyaqcj][quote=&quot;Kael Seoras&quot;:1fzyaqcj]A very very vivid image.[/quote:1fzyaqcj]\nHm.

Your series feels like it is written in a much more fun and laid back way. \n\nI think a lot of classic series would have gone a different direction these days.

Even a decent lawyer could get the pre-nup tossed on  the basis that Erin\'s marriage is invalid because (a.) illegal means were used to coerce Erin into marriage, and (b.) she was manipulated, because of overwhelming emotional distress, into making a decision that she in all likelihood would not have made were she not specifically manipulated into, and in possession of all facts beforehand.\n\nBecause Brian deliberately infected her (and there\'s no way that his flimsy excuses to Erin would stand up in a courtroom; a ticked-off judge would probably hit him with prison time for felony assault and conspiracy to inflict bodily harm - there is precedent, with several men locked up for deliberately infecting women with AIDS), Erin was deliberately and maliciously maneuvered into marriage because she believed no one else would want her. A good lawyer (and the Barksdales WOULD have a good one) would simply get the marriage annulled (thereby nullifying the pre-nup) by simply attacking Brian\'s credibility; they would demonstrate that he has a history of lying, and would also probably find several young women that he had done similar things to (including infecting them with herpes); At the very least, they would go after him by finding out about what he really does for the government - and once the story breaks about what he\'s been doing...\n\nBasically, Brian\'s another character I\'ve never liked.

At this point that\'s a bit of a ways off, and I\'ve got other topics I want to tackle first. But I thought it should be mentioned since I know it\'s not for everyone. \n\nThis is set to be a bit of a rambling post-college fic. I have a few plans as far as what will happen, but mostly I\'m just along for the ride. \n\n\n\n[i:so2vmntu]\n“But isn\'t it true that an author can write only about himself?” - Milan Kundera, “The Unbearable Lightness of Being”[/i:so2vmntu]\n\n\nThe coffee was over-concentrated from sitting out for more than 24 hours, and bore a consistency closer to sludge than liquid. Daria didn’t even bother watering it down with sugar or creamer, and gulped it like a shot of whiskey before returning to her overcrowded computer screen. She had finished four articles in the last twelve hours and was polishing off a short story that was due in less than seven. Her aim was to be finished in time to catch a bit of sleep, and then be able to give everything a once over before sending it all off. \n\nThree hours and two cups of coffee later Bartholomew Forest had upset the balance of wall street, realigned the views of a couple of top journalists, restored order to a neighborhood of small-time business owners and sparked the interest of the woman who owned the local Mexican antique shop. It was a bit cheesy and she would never admit she had written it, but that was what pseudonyms were for. Then, only because moments of honesty were part of her character, Daria admitted to herself that she was only doing it because the magazine paid pretty well. She had used foresight to sooth her inevitable discontent by giving Bartholomew several characteristics that would remind anyone with half a brain of several prominent historical anarchists. \n\nThat wouldn’t be very many people, she thought cynically. The editor would probably be thrilled with her offering. In a fit of early-morning inspiration, Daria promised that she would buy herself a really-fucking-good bottle of wine to celebrate if the editor sent any complaints. Ha! Now she won whether or not they liked it. \n\n Daria reviewed the word length, judged the ending to be at an appropriate enough place that there was a fair chance the magazine would ask for a sequel, and set her alarm before collapsing into bed. It was four in the morning, but she’d been keeping this sort of oddball schedule for a couple of months now and her internal clock was past the point of complaint. The alarm would wake her up in four hours. There was no slow glide into sleep, she was out as soon as she closed her eyes. \n\nQuinn banging the door whilst simultaneously calling her cell phone woke her up ten minutes before the alarm was supposed to.\n\n\n[i:so2vmntu]&quot;The heaviest of burdens crushes us, we sink beneath it, it pins us to the ground. But in love poetry of every age, the woman longs to be weighed down by the man\'s body. The heaviest of burdens is therefore simultaneously an image of life\'s most intense fulfillment. The heavier the burden, the closer our lives come to the earth, the more real and truthful they become. Conversely, the absolute absence of burden causes man to be lighter than air, to soar into heights, take leave of the earth and his earthly being, and become only half real, his movements as free as they are insignificant. What then shall we choose? Weight or lightness?&quot;  - Milan Kundera, “The Unbearable Lightness of Being”[/i:so2vmntu]\n\n\n“God Daria, don’t you ever clean this place?” \n\nQuinn let herself in as soon as the door was open. She quickly took stock of Daria, who had sleep-mussed hair, circles under her eyes, and was wearing her typical plain t-shirt and black cargo pants. Quinn shook her head slowly at the sight and visibly returned her attention to the apartment.\n\nDaria’s head still felt fuzzy from the abrupt awakening, but she had enough brains to only admit to herself, silently, that the apartment was getting pretty cluttered. Books and papers were piled on top of everything, accompanied by more dirty coffee cups than would fit into her cupboards (they never all got cleaned together, so it didn’t tend to matter). The place was far from a pigsty, but definitely not up to the image standards of the chic modern business world that Quinn lived in these days. \n\nLess than three steps in and Daria found her arms full of drooly baby. As it turned out, Davy at six months weighed a bit more than Davy at three months, and Daria had to adjust to take the weight. The baby looked at his only aunt through a mess of sticky drool face and curly brown hair and somehow managed to convey a heavy weight of skepticism, most likely directed at her ability to hold him [i:so2vmntu]oh god stop squirming![/i:so2vmntu] Quinn had handed him off without skipping a beat in her monologue. Motherhood had only increased her multitasking abilities, along with resulting in an above the shoulder haircut and chic-but-sensible clothes that only the most fashionable single mothers wore. \n\n“I mean, geeze, if you can afford a place like this you could also get a maid in her once every two weeks or so. Their prices can be [i:so2vmntu]very[/i:so2vmntu] modest if you know the right people. And when are you going to start putting concealer under your eyes? It’s not healthy or good for your skin to miss so much sleep anyhow; but if you’re going to do it at least make the effort to minimize what it looks like. I can’t [i:so2vmntu]believe[/i:so2vmntu] you let people see you like this. Tell me you don’t invite people over while the living room looks this way. Oh, wait, I just remembered who I’m talking to. Never mind.”\n\nHaving adapted to Quinn’s non-stop prattle ages ago, Daria easily tuned out most of it. Holding the baby didn‘t come so easily, and Daria was using her full attention to keep up with his constant movements and not drop him. Children were not the sort of thing she’d ever gotten used to being around, and finding a way to hold Davy that both she and the baby agreed on tended to be hit-and-miss. “Um, Quinn.”\n\nBy now Quinn was heading towards the bedroom, and didn‘t even bother to look back before saying, “Don’t worry Daria, he’s getting better around people. He [i:so2vmntu]is[/i:so2vmntu] my son after all. Just don’t take his teether away. He really scared a little old lady who tried to take it away on the plane.” \n\nDaria kept a consciously firm grip on Davy and followed Quinn. She noted the complete lack of negative inflection in that statement and mentioned,  “You don’t sound upset.” In fact, she sounded rather satisfied.\n\n“Some people have no common sense. She kept on saying something about his teeth coming in wrong. But really, like [i:so2vmntu]I[/i:so2vmntu] would give [i:so2vmntu]my[/i:so2vmntu] child a teether that would let them come in backwards or whatever. She [i:so2vmntu]deserved[/i:so2vmntu] to have him hit her with his sippy cup that way.” \n\nDaria shook off a mental image of her six-month-old nephew giving a frail little old lady a black eye by way of lime green sippy cup and noticed that her sister had hauled a travel bag out of the back of Daria’s closet. Quinn paused just long enough to shake her head sadly at the clothing selection and started to expertly load up the bag with what appeared to a be a weeks worth of essentials. \n\n“Are we finally going to visit the mothership, or are you doing an exposé on bad outfit choices again?” Daria shuddered in the memory of the last time Quinn had raided her closet. \n\nThe baby squirmed in Daria’s grip, unhappy at being ignored in favor of a clothing discussion. She bounced him frantically, hoping to ward off a potential scream fest, and thought, [i:so2vmntu]you’d think he’d be used to it[/i:so2vmntu]…before returning her attention to Quinn. \n\nQuinn, who was staring at her in open shock, her mouth in the shape of a perfect “O”. \n\n“What?”\n\n“Dar-ee-ah!”\n\n“What?!” \n\n“Haven’t you checked your cell phone in the last 24 hours?”\n\nActually, Daria hadn’t checked her cell phone in at least three days. She wondered, idly, why the thing was still ringing.\n\nThen Davy decided he was done not being the center of attention. The battle of the waterworks was over:  he wailed and reached for Quinn. Happy to oblige, Daria nearly shoved him at his mom. Quinn took him with the sort of natural grace only she and her fellows in in The League of Saintly and Ordained Mothers were capable of. Within seconds he had quieted down and started to resemble one of the angel babies from a Michelangelo painting. [i:so2vmntu]Momma’s boy[/i:so2vmntu], Daria thought sourly, and ignored the slight pang of jealousy in her gut. [i:so2vmntu]Body upset from lack of sleep and too much coffee. No useless feelings to ignore here! Moving on! [/i:so2vmntu]\n\nSo distracted was she by her own inner turmoil that Daria nearly missed Quinn’s next statement. Or rather, she would have missed it completely were Quinn not capable of sharing information in high decibels. \n\n“Daddy had another heart attack! They’re talking about putting in one of those peace talker thingies.

The way Grandma Barksdale described it, Crestdale Girls Camp was a [i:mnsqlygx]wonderful[/i:mnsqlygx] place.  &quot;I went there as a child!  The stables are adorable.  Did you know that I learned to ride a horse there, Quinn?&quot;\n\nIn reality, Crestdale Girls Camp wasn\'t much better than Camp Grizzly, the camp Quinn attended as a child.  It was true that Crestdale Girls Camp had a great stable. Otherwise Crestdale\'s buildings were much like those of Camp Grizzly, half Lincoln Log and half Army surplus.  All of the girls - &quot;ages five to thirteen and older&quot; - wore pink shirts with &quot;Crestdale Girls&quot; and red short shorts.  Even Quinn, the &quot;camp counselor for 11 and up,&quot; wore them.  &quot;Eleven and up&quot; meant those girls who couldn\'t get out of their obligation to attend Crestdale Girls Camp and were still stuck there until they graduated to camp counselor.  Meanwhile, girls like Sue Bentley were on a trip to Stonehenge and Bath.  Sue\'s call to Quinn provided little empathy; all Sue wanted to talk about were the sheep at Stonehenge.\n\nTo be &quot;Camp Counselor&quot; was to be a glorified babysitter.  Quinn and a Kirriemuir Girl - Cissy Lembeck - were in charge of activities monitoring and general supervision.  Cissy played bad cop and Quinn played good cop.   Quinn\'s attitude towards rules enforcement was \'if you don\'t flaunt it, consider it gotten away with.\'  Cissy was strictly by-the-book.\n\nThe girls liked Quinn, or \'Kiki.\'  They didn\'t like Cissy.\n\nQuinn\'s main job was to prevent drama between entitled spoiled brats, and two girls had already been sent back home to their parents for their incalcitrance.  The rest of the group was divided into its Sue Bentleys and its Claire Davidsons and its Jill Yardboroughs and Buttons and Patty and Misha and all the rest.  The only thing they had in common - aside from seven-figure parental incomes - was complaining, and they were of the age where they weren\'t kids and weren\'t teenagers, so they liked to complain and were all Ph.D.s to hear them tell it.\n\nWhenever Quinn wasn\'t occupied with the girls, there was virtually nothing to do.  Quinn had a long conversation with the stable keeper and tried out her French - the stable keeper had a master\'s degree in French.  The rumor was that the stable keeper was a dyke, but Quinn didn\'t believe it.  Most likely, the stable keeper was bored out of her wits too and would have chatted with anyone, even nosy nine-year-olds.\n\nAt night, there was \'informal instruction.\'  Two of the girls were Fielding girls, and Quinn found out that part of her high esteem from her charges came from the fact of being in Tops - soon, every girl knew that Kiki was Somebody.  She didn\'t bother to correct them, didn\'t bother to tell them that she had never been clubbing or been on ski trips or knew wines or caviar.  (One of the two girls, \'Long Liz\' Greeson, was definitely Tops Material and Quinn e-mailed Jill and Patty.)\n\nJill.  Jill had fallen off the face of the earth. She was off to some geology camp or something.  Quinn couldn\'t imagine Jill picking away at rock formations, but nothing could be done.  Maybe they had confiscated her Blackberry.  Quinn had received calls almost daily until a point in mid-June...and then Jill suddenly disappeared.  Quinn was starting to worry.  Her e-mails weren\'t being answered either.\n\nPat wrote.  He wrote and called as much as he could - he talked about going to Tokyo and being on his father\'s yacht and, of course, how much he missed Quinn.  &quot;Quinn, my Darling I shall soon be at your little hide-a-way to rescue you like Rapunzel was rescued from her castle.  However, I shall not trod on your hare but shall instead make my way to the tower by my own devices.  Trust me, I shall appear at Crestdale like Banquo\'s ghost.&quot;\n\n[i:mnsqlygx]Not likely[/i:mnsqlygx], Quinn thought.  [i:mnsqlygx]I keep telling Pat that this place has razor wire and guard dogs.  And he just goes on and on and never shuts up.  One more guy who doesn\'t come through.[/i:mnsqlygx]\n\nOf course, the girls wanted to know about guys and dating and SEX.  So, across many meals and campfires and pillow fights Quinn told them the rules that she made up.\n\n[b:mnsqlygx]1.  All guys are liars.\n2.  When in doubt, check Rule #1.[/b:mnsqlygx]\n\n&quot;All guys?&quot; Long Liz asked.\n\n&quot;[i:mnsqlygx]All guys[/i:mnsqlygx].  A guy will tell you anything to get into your pants,&quot; Quinn said.  &quot;Trust me.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah, but what if you [i:mnsqlygx]really[/i:mnsqlygx] like the guy?&quot; a girl named Clarissa asked.  &quot;And what if you really [i:mnsqlygx]know[/i:mnsqlygx] he likes you?&quot;\n\nQuinn suspected that Clarissa\'s knowledge of rainbow parties was first-hand.  &quot;Listen,&quot; Quinn said. &quot;A guy might [i:mnsqlygx]think[/i:mnsqlygx] that he likes you.  A guy who didn\'t like you at first might even convince himself that he likes you.  A guy would swear on a stack of Bibles that he likes you.  But talk is cheap.  I learned that.  Watch what he [i:mnsqlygx]does[/i:mnsqlygx].  Guys are so stupid that they\'ll just convince themselves of anything.&quot;\n\n&quot;So he has to buy you something?&quot; a Sue-in-training named Deanna asked.  &quot;Doesn\'t that make you, like, a [i:mnsqlygx]whore[/i:mnsqlygx]?&quot;\n\n&quot;Deanna,&quot; Quinn said.  &quot;A guy doesn\'t go out with you because he thinks you have a nice personality.  He wants to [i:mnsqlygx]do[/i:mnsqlygx] you.  In his mind, he wants to [i:mnsqlygx]do[/i:mnsqlygx] you and sooner or later, you\'re going to have to do it or you\'re going to have to cut him loose. If you just let him do it with you for no reason - out of like - [i:mnsqlygx]that\'s[/i:mnsqlygx] being a whore.  A guy has to show that he\'s completely committed.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah!&quot; said Deanna.  &quot;And that\'s when you ask him to do something [i:mnsqlygx]stupid[/i:mnsqlygx]!&quot;\n\nThe girls all giggled, even the Claires in the group.  (Quinn knew that three years down the line, Deanna would be asking guys to do a [i:mnsqlygx]lot of stupid things[/i:mnsqlygx].)  &quot;What will he risk?&quot; Quinn said. &quot;You\'re going out with a guy, and a lot of guys are risk-takers only because they have totally nothing to risk.  A guy has to have [i:mnsqlygx]cachet[/i:mnsqlygx].  You\'re the only thing that he [i:mnsqlygx]can\'t buy[/i:mnsqlygx].  So if he wants to go out with you...make him prove it.&quot;\n\n&quot;That\'s no fun,&quot; Clarissa said. &quot;I think you should have fun with a guy.&quot;\n\n&quot;Riiiiiight,&quot; Quinn said.  &quot;But are you cashing in early - or are you [i:mnsqlygx]investing[/i:mnsqlygx]?&quot;\n\nThe eleven and twelve-year-olds nodded at the feet of the rabbi.  Cissy sniffed, &quot;Realllly, Kiki, this is such garbage.&quot;\n\n&quot;Okay.  Tell me what part of it isn\'t true.&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m going out with a guy and we\'re going to get married after he graduates from Crestmore.  It\'s not all mercenary.&quot;\n\n&quot;Sure it isn\'t,&quot; Quinn said.  &quot;So will your boyfriend get into Crestmore because he\'s a brain?&quot;\n\n&quot;No way!  He\'s well-connected and sociable.&quot;\n\n&quot;\'Well-connected.\'&quot;  Quinn bracketed the adjective in iron quotes.  &quot;Proves my point, Cissy.&quot;  As Cissy looked at the girls watching, she knew with one glance that she had lost her audience.  \n\nCissy grumbled and returned to her book.  &quot;At least I\'m not a [i:mnsqlygx]cynic[/i:mnsqlygx], like you are.&quot;  Her trump card was only a two of clubs; she was ignored by everyone except Quinn.\n\n[i:mnsqlygx]Cynic.  Great.  I\'m turning into my dumb sister.[/i:mnsqlygx]  Quinn wondered if she\'d ever find true love anywhere.\n\n(* * *)\n\nDaria\'s money was feted in the Morgendorffer household.  Her parents seemed somewhat amazed by it.  All of that scribbling and moping around was being turned into cold hard cash, and Helen and Jake were astonished.  &quot;Daria\'s becoming a writer!&quot; Helen said to just about anyone who would care to listen.  Daria soon came to understand that she would only see $20 of the money.  The rest of it would go into a fund for college.\n\nThis left Daria and Elsie to celebrate at a place called the Pizza King, a sort of hangout frequented by Lawndale High School kids.  Rumor had it that Fielding kids would be hassled if they ate there; the rumor proved to be untrue.  The Lawndale teens could have cared less.  It was a potential hangout, despite its substandard decor.  (Elsie called it \'clever\' and loved their sausage and pepperoni pizza.)\n\nOne week later, another call for a script came through.  [i:mnsqlygx]Wow.  I\'m in high demand[/i:mnsqlygx], Daria thought.  Daria shared the information with Victor Key.\n\n&quot;[i:mnsqlygx]I see.  They want you to polish scripts.  Like shoes.  You don\'t have to rewrite the whole thing, Daria.  That might save you some time.[/i:mnsqlygx]&quot;  If Key was jealous of Daria\'s new-found success, he never showed it.\n\n&quot;No wonder it was so hard. &quot;\n\n&quot;[i:mnsqlygx]Well, they must have liked your first draft.  [b:mnsqlygx]Heaven in Your Backyard[/b:mnsqlygx].  The trades say that it\'s a troubled production, and for a trade to use a negative adjective means that it\'s completely gone to hell.  I don\'t know why they want rewrites; rewrites won\'t save it.  Still, it\'s easier to try to polish a turd than to do a recast.  If you\'re serious about this, you should subscribe to [b:mnsqlygx]Variety[/b:mnsqlygx] and all of the major trades.[/i:mnsqlygx]&quot;\n\nDaria made mental notes.  &quot;It\'s just a few pages.  They just want more teenage dialogue, or what they think is teenage dialogue.&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:mnsqlygx]Yeah.  Well, you\'re getting screwed, Daria.  Writers Guild minimum is $9,000 for a polish.[/i:mnsqlygx]&quot;\n\n&quot;A polish?&quot;  [i:mnsqlygx]Nine thousand dollars[/i:mnsqlygx]?\n\n&quot;[i:mnsqlygx]Yes, they\'re not asking you to create anything out of nothing.  You\'re basically being asked to alter something someone else wrote.  And to top it off, they got you cheap.  Ethan\'s a signatory to the WGA; if he\'s going to pay you you\'ll have to get minimum.[/i:mnsqlygx]&quot;\n\nDaria was amazed.  [i:mnsqlygx]Nine thousand dollars a shot.  Enough scripts and I could pay for my own education.[/i:mnsqlygx]  &quot;What about the WGA?&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:mnsqlygx]Writer\'s Guild of America.  You\'d belong to the East Coast division, but it\'s all the same thing.  East Coast standards are less stringent; you could get in now simply by letting them know that Ethan Whippet hired you.  He\'s a signatory, so they have to let you in.[/i:mnsqlygx]&quot;\n\n&quot;Is that worth having?&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:mnsqlygx]Of course.  But I\'ll bet money when you apply, you won\'t get any more work from Ethan.[/i:mnsqlygx]&quot;\n\n&quot;So I shouldn\'t apply?&quot;\n\nThere was silence.  &quot;[i:mnsqlygx]Then you\'d be a fucking scab.  And in Hollywood, you need all the friends you can get.  Polish what you\'re working on now, and after you get paid for it, sign up for the WGA.  See what happens afterward.  If Ethan is willing to pay you minimum, then you know you\'ve got real talent.  But if you\'re working for scraps, you better not let WGA find out because they\'ll put him on their strike list.  Trust me, the way things are going now it can\'t end well.[/i:mnsqlygx]&quot;\n\nDaria kept what Key said in mind.  She sent her pages back to Incitatus Productions, remembering that time was money.  That same day, for her work on [i:mnsqlygx]The Great State of Maine[/i:mnsqlygx], Daria received a check - for $2000.  It was great to receive a check for two grand, no doubt about it.  But it was much less for a slightly smaller amount of work, and Daria couldn\'t help but suspect that she was being had.  That was what burned her.  She was glad that there was some figure out there that recognized her talent, and was willing to pay her for it.  But would he have paid the same if she belonged to the WGA?\n\nThe next day, Daria formally applied for WGA East membership.  The cost for the initiation fee was a whopping $1500.  After that, she\'d pay $25 every three months and pay the Guild 1.5 percent of every further payment for writing that she earned.  The only advantage that either she or her mother could see in the whole thing was that she had the benefit of the WGA\'s arbitration in the event of a dispute and that she could attend certain writing workshops, none of which were being held in Lawndale.\n\n&quot;Easy come, easy go,&quot; Daria told herself.  She pocketed another $20, with the WGA getting $1500 and her college fund getting $480.  A few days later, she received a small plastic card in the mail.  It said simply, &quot;Writers Guild of America, East&quot; and at the bottom was listed her name and her membership number.  And sure enough - as Daria feared would happen - she received no further offers from Incitatus Productions or anyone else for the rest of the summer.  The well had gone dry.\n\n(* * *)\n\nIt was a wet day at Crestdale, with the rain coming down in sheets like a loose curtain of water blowing back and forth. Everything had turned to mud and every camper was bored and cranky.  While everyone was sent off to the mess hall to watch a movie - some awful thing from the 1950s about some guys named Sid and Marty, or something - the counselors had some free time and Quinn returned to the cabin, praying that her wireless still functioned.\n\nShe flipped open her phone looking for mail.  After almost a dozen failed attempts to connect, she finally was able to open her mailbox.\n\n[b:mnsqlygx]To:  <!-- e --><a href=\"mailto:qmorgendorffer@fielding.edu\">qmorgendorffer@fielding.edu</a><!-- e -->\nFm:  <!-- e --><a href=\"mailto:ClaireDavidson@millstone.com\">ClaireDavidson@millstone.com</a><!-- e -->\nRe:  Hello.[/b:mnsqlygx]\n\nQuinn almost dropped the phone.  [i:mnsqlygx]Claire Davidson[/i:mnsqlygx].  It was enough to make one shiver.  She had neither seen nor heard from Claire since her suicide attempt.  Given what Daria told her, Quinn thought that she\'d never see Claire again.  Claire said she wasn\'t going to Fielding, and Quinn assumed that Claire was breaking off all ties.  \n\nAnd here it was.  [i:mnsqlygx]I should have written her first.  I should have found her e-mail address and done something.  Why would she write me?[/i:mnsqlygx]  Quinn\'s face turned red with guilt, even though she was alone and unobserved.\n\nTaking a deep breath, and shaking off a sudden chill, Quinn pressed the key to display the message.\n\n[b:mnsqlygx]Quinn,\n\nI have sent a similar message to your sister, who suggested that I write you.  I would have simply forwarded the first post, but it would have been most unbecoming.  You deserve your own e-mail, and not a copy of your sister\'s.  I assume that would be quite annoying, if I had a sister.\n\nI want to thank you for standing up for me when I was unable to stand up for myself.  Clearly, you took great risk upon yourself, particularly with the other members of that coven known as Tops to which you belong.  (May I never hear its name again.)  For someone as obsessed with appearance as yourself, it would have been as great a risk as if I had hired a motor boat and crossed the Chesapeake on water skis.  I am glad that you have survived your risk - you have a talent for remaining unscathed from Pompeiiesque disasters - and that you remain in good standing with Those at Fielding That Shall Not Be Named.\n\nI shall summarize my present circumstances.  I have had my left hip replaced, as my former hip wasn\'t much for pumpkin after my fall from grace (both literal and figurative).  After months of physical torture, a semblance of my previous gait has been restored.  My body complains, but I ask it to bear too much anyway; one more insult can be forgiven, I suppose.\n\nAs for my home situation, those wounds do not heal so easily.  My therapist - yes, &quot;Claire is crazy&quot; - has suggested family therapy, but my father is the only one who attends with regularity.  My mother wishes to simply ignore the gravity of the situation, if you\'ll forgive the pun.  She has lied to all of our friends about what happened, claiming that I decided to take a vacation from Fielding or something.  The lies change, the situation never changes.  She once told me that I should &quot;get over it&quot; and &quot;so you were down in the dumps.&quot;  (No, mother, that was my Sylvia Plath impersonation, substituting defenestration for an oven.)  Even without mother\'s presence, it has not been easy and I am crying as I write this.  I suppose I have a lot of anger that even with these horrible medications manifests itself in strange and unpredictable ways.\n\nSo father and I are coming to terms with what has happened.  It has been very painful, but at the same time I feel closer to the old man than I ever did.  I didn\'t know how much he loved me; what a sad way to find out.  He is angry too, and rightfully so.  We are both angry at each other, but we realize it.  What was it that Socrates said about knowing thyself?  Mercury should now arrive on winged feet, wave the caduceus and heal us both.  Isn\'t he the Greek God of madmen?\n\nI am currently scheduled to attend Tabard in Dallas.  I shall be a Tabardarian!  I know that you\'re not familiar with upper class ways; it is a prestigious all-girls school in Texas and good enough for the scum that attend Fielding.  Quinn, I know I shall not be a Sapphite, for I hate females.  Although, I suppose males are not much better.  I suppose I hate all of mankind, save for a few outliers like yourself.  Even so, you were more a bother than anything.  Perhaps you have that undefinable essence that draws others closer to you.  Everyone wants to see what shall happen and how you shall turn out.\n\nI do not look forward to Tabard.  To hell with boarding schools, and their spoiled and disturbed inhabitants. Inmates running the asylum.\n\nWhat do I do with my time?  I read!  I read my books and I am undisturbed, except for my mother.  I cannot spend more than twenty minutes in a room with her without some row.  &quot;Claire, you are just so angry these days.  What\'s gotten into you?&quot;  So I see the therapist three times a week, attend with father once a week, and yell at mother the rest of the week.  (Can you imagine me raising my voice to mother? Meek me?  Scare-y Claire-y, the butt of all jokes?)\n\nI hope this is not a burden to you.  You always seem to enjoy life.  I suppose it is easy for beautiful girls.  I wouldn\'t know. \n\nMy other passion is all things internet.  Have you heard of Skype?  I am thinking of installing Skype here, so that I can speak to my fans all across the world, a group that can be counted on the fingers of one hand if I remove two fingers. I have found an internet message board devoted to the Brownings, unfortunately it is full of fools and poltroons.  Even in the realm of messages by light one cannot escape human idiocy.\n\nI have completed my message. I am alive.  Many thanks to you and your sister.  Although I shall give you the same parting message that I gave Daria.\n\nThe next time you wish to stand up for someone at Fielding - someone in a situation like mine - don\'t merely occupy the Administration Building.  Put every standing structure to the torch, and then sow the fields with salt.  Fielding is not fit for human beings.\n\nClaire[/b:mnsqlygx]\n\nClaire.  Claire was [i:mnsqlygx]alive[/i:mnsqlygx].  She was well, or she was getting better.  Quinn wiped the wetness from her eyes.  She tried to think of something profound to write, but her eagerness to answer yielded the following:\n\n[b:mnsqlygx]Claire - am at camp.  I can\'t text long messages - yay Skype!  can\'t wait to see you - I need a laptop 2 type something longer!  xxx &quot;Kiki&quot;![/b:mnsqlygx]\n\nTen minutes later, Quinn received a reply.\n\n[b:mnsqlygx]Ah yes.  Daria said something about camp.  Horrible, horrible places, we must not speak about them.  But you text so frequently I\'d think your wrists would have turned to iron by now. \n\nI\'ll wait until you can return to a standing computer.  We\'ll work out Skype later. \n\nClaire[/b:mnsqlygx]\n\n(* * *)\n\n\nThe thing that might have been the worst about diving - although there were many things in contention for the worst - was being at the bottom of the pool.  A dive from thirty feet took one very deep, and one had to kick one\'s way back to the surface.  Daria always had a fear of inhaling, choking, and never coming back up again.\n\nSlowly, Daria came to the surface, kicking her legs.  In the empty pool at the Fielding Natatorium, Daria\'s head broke through the surface of the water.  As she gasped for air she could see someone standing near the pool, but with her goggles, she couldn\'t make out who it was.\n\nSwimming to the ladder, she pulled herself out of the water, pulled off her eyewear and wiped her eyes.  She squinted at the mystery figure. &quot;Hello?&quot;\n\n&quot;Dar, it\'s [i:mnsqlygx]me[/i:mnsqlygx].&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh.  Hi, Elsie.&quot;\n\n&quot;My laws, Dar, your vision is [i:mnsqlygx]terrible[/i:mnsqlygx] without your glasses.  Next year, you\'ll need to have the path to the diving board marked in Braille if this keeps up.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well,&quot; Daria said, &quot;when you\'re thirty feet from the ground it sometimes helps not to see where you\'re going.  So what brings you here to the site of my athletic triumphs?&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh, I asked your Mom where you were.  She muttered something about a job.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah.  When I split Winged Tree it turned out that no one was hiring.  Winged Tree didn\'t want me back, and Mom threatened to volunteer me somewhere.  So I told Mom that I\'d work on my diving.  At least I don\'t have to clean up shit.&quot;\n\n&quot;Hmph.  Donna and Zip must be very happy.&quot;\n\n&quot;We\'ll see next season.  We still don\'t have a coach.  There\'s nobody to work with me.  So I practice on improving my sub-minimal form.  At least there are no judges.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes.  Shouldn\'t there be a lifeguard or something?&quot;  Elsie\'s voice echoed through the empty natatorium; she felt very spooked.\n\n&quot;[i:mnsqlygx]Absolutely right[/i:mnsqlygx].&quot;  Daria waved her left arm in the direction of the surrounding area.  &quot;Grab a whistle.&quot;\n\n&quot;I wouldn\'t dream of such a thing.  I\'ll never be caught even in a one-piece.  Rather, I was wondering if you wanted lunch.&quot;\n\n&quot;Is Tom here?&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:mnsqlygx]You wish[/i:mnsqlygx].  I drove here.&quot;\n\nDaria pulled off her swim cap.  &quot;Drove?  You only have a learner\'s permit.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, those who can, [i:mnsqlygx]do[/i:mnsqlygx], those that can\'t, [i:mnsqlygx]learn[/i:mnsqlygx].  I got tired of being one of those people who can\'t do.  Come on, Daria.  It will be fun.&quot;\n\n(* * *)\n\nIt was most definitely not fun.  Elsie\'s vehicle of necessity was an ancient, two-toned Ford pickup that Daria suspected had been used as a working vehicle before Elsie was even born.  &quot;I\'m using a car from the Sloane spare pile,&quot; Elsie muttered.  &quot;As soon as I have my license, I shall have a brand-new car.  Until then, I must make do.&quot;\n\nElsie hadn\'t quite mastered manual transmission, and the vehicle practically leapt off all four tires whenever Elsie shifted gears.  Furthermore, Daria hated Elsie\'s [i:mnsqlygx]laissez-faire[/i:mnsqlygx] approach to traffic.  It seemed to Daria that as far as Elsie was concerned, all vehicles were Vespas, and that Elsie was determined to push this vehicle - which loudly belched smoke from its tailpipe - to places it didn\'t want to go.  Daria wondered when was the last time this truck had passed inspection, or if it ever had passed inspection.\n\nDaria gasped as Elsie went through a traffic light. &quot;What the hell?&quot;\n\n&quot;The light was yellow!&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah, because you were driving so fast it Doppler shifted.  Holy Christ!  [i:mnsqlygx]You\'re going through a school zone![/i:mnsqlygx]&quot;\n\n&quot;I don\'t see any children.&quot;\n\nDaria looked out the back window of the cab.  &quot;Thank God.  No bodies in the road.&quot;\n\n&quot;Hang on, I\'ve got to make this turn.&quot;\n\nIt was a road with two northbound lanes and two southbound lanes. Elsie\'s truck was in the right northbound lane.  As if it were something she did all the time, she turned left across all three of the other lanes, cutting off one vehicle that angrily honked its horn.\n\nDaria reached frantically for the &quot;OS&quot; bar, as she called it - the &quot;Oh Shit&quot; bar in the shape of a plastic handle on the passenger side of her mother\'s SUV.  There was no such bar.  Which made sense, as Elsie\'s truck had no seat belts.\n\nWhen Elsie finally reached &quot;Sloane Road&quot; as Daria called it - the dirt road that led to the Sloane home - Elsie took the lack of traffic and lack of a dividing yellow line as license to throw caution to the wind, if there was any caution left to jettison. \n\n&quot;Here we go, Dar!&quot; Elsie cried.  &quot;Brace yourself!&quot;\n\n&quot;I want to ride in the back!&quot; Daria cried, indicating the bed of the pickup truck.  &quot;It\'s safer!&quot;\n\n&quot;Whee!&quot; Elsie cried, taking an incline at such a speed that Daria was reminded of the movie [i:mnsqlygx]Bullitt[/i:mnsqlygx] when the truck landed.  Daria frantically searched for something to hold on to.  \n\n&quot;Elsie, turn!  TURN!  TURRRRRRNNNNNNN -  !!&quot;\n\nElsie didn\'t turn fast enough.  Luckily enough, there was a helpful tree in her path to help her - !\n\n(* * *)\n\nA wrecked pickup.  A soon-to-be-dead tree.  Silence.  There appeared to be no one driving this smashed vehicle, because no passengers could be seen inside.\n\nDaria pulled herself off of the floor of the truck.  Elsie soon followed.  Daria managed to get herself out of the truck without stumbling, whereas Elsie practically fell out onto the dirt.\n\n&quot;Elsie...are you all right?&quot; Daria asked.\n\nDaria heard Elsie\'s voice. &quot;Well, I suppose so.  I didn\'t need those ribs anyway.&quot;\n\nThe two, catching sight of each other through the glass windows of the truck, walked over to the front of the pickup.  The old Ford would soon be off to meet its maker (Henry Ford, 1863 - 1947).  Each could see that the vehicle was a complete write-off.\n\n&quot;Oh boy,&quot; Daria muttered.  &quot;Damn.  It\'s trashed.  Elsie, I\'m sorry.&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh, no bother,&quot; Elsie said. &quot;I never liked that thing anyway.  We\'ll tell the car man.  So,&quot; Elsie said, &quot;let\'s go get some lunch.&quot;  As Elsie walked up the road, without a scratch on her, Daria pondered a universe where vehicles could be tossed aside after misuse like used Kleenex.\n\n(* * *)\n\nIt was eleven days until the end of camp.  Mid-August.  The girls were working on their skits for a Talent Day at the end of the camp.  Quinn had done the requisite networking among the matrons who visited their camp to make sure that their charges were making adequate progress at...[i:mnsqlygx]something[/i:mnsqlygx]. (She suspected that some of these mothers didn\'t trust their girls even out of their sight.)\n\nIt was late night - 11 pm - and lights out had been an hour previous.  Unlike in some bunks, Cissy kept a tight ship and Quinn knew that everyone was asleep.  Unfortunately, Cissy wasn\'t the best of conversational partners.  It left Quinn to hunt for text messages and read three-year-old copies of [i:mnsqlygx]Waif[/i:mnsqlygx].\n\nThere was a knock on the window.  Quinn ignored it.  Then it knocked again.\n\nQuinn got up to look out the window.  There was nobody there, and then suddenly a face popped up from NOWHERE!\n\n[i:mnsqlygx]It was Pat Seven![/i:mnsqlygx]\n\n&quot;Pat?  [i:mnsqlygx]Pat?![/i:mnsqlygx]&quot;  Quinn threw open the window.  &quot;Pat, what are you [i:mnsqlygx]doing here[/i:mnsqlygx]?&quot;\n\n&quot;Quinn,&quot; Pat said, &quot;I told you that I\'d make it here to see you in this filthy, miserable place and after much struggle...your knight has arrived!&quot;\n\nIt was clear that whatever battlefield Pat had crossed to get to Quinn\'s bunk, it was a miserable one.  Pat\'s white Arrow shirt was now dust-covered and the left knee of his slacks had blown out.  There were clods of dirt affixed to the polish of his Italian leather shoes.\n\nCissy watched, her jaw slack. &quot;No,&quot; she muttered.  &quot;No, I\'m not seeing this.&quot;\n\n&quot;Pat, there\'s,&quot; Quinn said, searching for words, &quot;there\'s [i:mnsqlygx]no way[/i:mnsqlygx] you can be here!  The entire camp is surrounded by a razor fence that\'s, like, eight feet tall!  And there are security!  And dogs!&quot;\n\n&quot;Ah yes, well,&quot; Pat said, &quot;I suppose my nightly constitutional at Fielding gives me some practice in climbing over the ol\' picket fence.  Or, in this case, climb under it.  The hard part was evading the men with the guns.&quot;\n\n&quot;I am definitely not seeing this,&quot; Cissy muttered.\n\nThe thought that Pat was out there, risking his life...!  Quinn\'s emotions were a cross between anger and admiration.  &quot;Pat, didn\'t I tell you?  [i:mnsqlygx]Guys aren\'t supposed to be here![/i:mnsqlygx]  This place is like a nunnery or something!  Half the people here are like totally queer!  If the staff or those security guys find out you\'re here they\'re going to flip out!&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes, Quinn, but...well, damn it, I just couldn\'t imagine you sitting here in this miserable place, all alone, with no one to talk to.  The thought of you depressed makes me depressed, and well, I figured that an aperitif would lighten our collective load, so to speak.  I\'m sure we could find one of those unspeakable little restaurants off the beaten path and have a fine little time.&quot;\n\n&quot;Pat....&quot;  Quinn was speechless.  It was very touching.  Somehow, the thought of her and Pat sitting at some dumpy roadside diner sounded like the greatest thing ever proposed.  &quot;I\'ll get my jeans.  How did you get in again?  And how are we supposed to get out?&quot;  (Cissy, meanwhile, crawled under the blankets and said to no one, &quot;I\'m asleep.&quot;)\n\n&quot;Well, I suppose about three miles or so by the moon, there\'s a place where the razor wire doesn\'t quite...hmm...I hear dogs....&quot;\n\nQuinn poked her head out the window.  There were dogs.  Several dogs.  Big dogs.  And they were traveling with great speed in the distance, behind Pat.  &quot;Oh my God!  Pat!  [i:mnsqlygx]Run![/i:mnsqlygx]&quot;\n\n&quot;Bye, fairest one!&quot;  Pat stole a kiss from Quinn, and then hoofed it out.  \n\nCissy could only peek as she watched Quinn\'s grimaces.  The dog barks were getting louder and louder, and terminated with the shout of something that wasn\'t a dog.  Clearly, the dogs had found their target, who seemed to be protesting greatly.  Cissy retreated back to the covers as Quinn ran out of the room to provide a futile attempt at help.  As every sleeping girl in the camp was now wide awake and as alarms were going off like wildfire, Cissy covered herself again. [i:mnsqlygx]In sleep, there is plausible deniability[/i:mnsqlygx], she told herself, and left everything to sort itself out.\n\n(* * *)\n\nHelen, Daria, and Quinn had just returned from the Crestdale Girls Camp.  &quot;So anyway, it was really sweet of Pat to come visit me,&quot; Quinn said as she carried her suitcase back into the Morgendorffer household.  &quot;And all he needed was three stitches!&quot;\n\n&quot;He should feel lucky he wasn\'t eaten alive,&quot; Daria said.  Quinn had spent half the trip talking to Pat on the phone, and had only dropped this bombshell of Pat\'s adventure when the family was in the driveway.  Daria cursed Quinn for holding out like that.\n\n&quot;Quinn, he\'s lucky he wasn\'t arrested,&quot; Helen said.\n\n&quot;Oh, he [i:mnsqlygx]was[/i:mnsqlygx]!&quot; Quinn said with admiration.  &quot;He had to spend the night in the county jail!  Very scary, but not the way Pat tells it. He said he met some \'fascinating\' people, though God knows who.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, before Pat gets any more ideas,&quot; Helen said, &quot;I\'m sure his parents were very angry.&quot;\n\n&quot;His Dad was,&quot; Quinn said. &quot;Pat Six said that [i:mnsqlygx]he[/i:mnsqlygx] wouldn\'t have gotten caught if it was him.  He told Pat to try out for sports so that he could run faster.  Can you [i:mnsqlygx]imagine[/i:mnsqlygx]?  Pat playing [i:mnsqlygx]sports[/i:mnsqlygx]?  I don\'t know if he should try out for football or basketball.&quot;  Quinn practically swooned.\n\n&quot;While Quinn relives the plot to Stalag 17,&quot; Daria said, &quot;did I get any mail?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes, on the counter.  From Fielding.&quot;\n\nDaria walked over to the table and opened it.  It was her class schedule for the Fall Term.  Spanish III.  US History.  Quant classes.  And the one course she looked forward to more than any other, Lon Richardson\'s Fantasy and Imagination class.  Claire Davidson though that Richardson was really cool, and had convinced Daria to sign up for it.\n\nShe called Elsie. &quot;Hey Elsie.  The schedule is here, and the beagle has landed.  I\'m in Fantasy and Imagination.&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:mnsqlygx]Well, good for you.  Writing is horrid.  Any news about your new coach?[/i:mnsqlygx]&quot;\n\n&quot;None at all.  Summer is almost over.  What do you want to do?&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:mnsqlygx]I\'d like to mourn.  My parents have spoken to me.  In exchange for my obtaining a new vehicle...I must reach some sort of academic distinction.[/i:mnsqlygx]&quot;  Elsie had already failed her driver\'s license test two times, so Tom would still be driving the two of them, at least at the beginning of the year.  Daria\'s parents had decided it was time for her to learn to drive as well, and figured that no matter how poorly she drove she couldn\'t be as bad as Elsie.\n\n&quot;Ouch.  You don\'t exactly have the attitude for academic honors.&quot;  Daria still remembered that book that Elsie hurled at her.  &quot;I\'ll ask Claire for advice.&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:mnsqlygx]Don\'t let\'s ask Claire for advice.  She\'ll come up with something suitably horrid and boring.[/i:mnsqlygx]&quot;\n\n&quot;If Claire Davidson can get my idiot sister through her first semester, she can do something for you, too.&quot;  \n\n&quot;[i:mnsqlygx]Hardly.[/i:mnsqlygx]&quot;  Daria had been communicating with Claire on Skype, and she could swear that Elsie was jealous.  Elsie had been invited to Daria\'s Skype sessions, but Elsie feigned ignorance of the process.\n\n&quot;Do you want to sit and mope, carless?  Or do you want that sweet, sweet ride?&quot;\n\nDaria could hear a sigh.  &quot;[i:mnsqlygx]Fine.  As long as it isn\'t a sport.  Sports are horrid.[/i:mnsqlygx]&quot;\n\n&quot;No thrown books?&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:mnsqlygx]No thrown books[/i:mnsqlygx],&quot; Elsie said. &quot;[i:mnsqlygx]Although you might want to choose a subject with one of the lighter textbooks...just to be on the safe side.[/i:mnsqlygx]&quot;','e042ff8338582dde0a9e4b752a7deaf7',0,'YA==','mnsqlygx',1,0,'',0,0,0),(463942,31939,6,213,0,'65.5.11.253',1298919939,1,0,1,1,1,0,'','Re: The Hallowed Halls of Fielding (Part 83 - 2/28/2011)','Daria and Quinn trudged towards the living room for the obligatory family meeting.  Daria felt a sense of overwhelming relief that her first year at Fielding was over.  Next year, she\'d be a junior - she told herself that she\'d be &quot;one year older if not one year smarter.&quot;  Zip and Donna were sending her e-mails telling her to get in a pool somewhere and practice...but just because she was still on the Fielding Swim Team she saw no reason to live by their schedule.  Zip could get up at 5 am as much as she wanted to; Daria would limit her practice time to the regulated practice time at Fielding.  She could see no point in working hard over the next two years to become a [i:cp5eexfj]mediocre[/i:cp5eexfj] diver.\n\nTom and Elsie\'s plans for the summer involved obligatory visits to relatives and, otherwise, nothing.  Daria suspected that her plans for the summer would be plotted out.\n\n&quot;This family meeting shall now come to order,&quot; Helen said.\n\n&quot;I object,&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;What is the purpose of this objection?&quot; Helen asked, all judge-like.\n\n&quot;I would like a change of venue to some more hospitable court.  It\'s impossible for my client to get a fair trial in front of a biased jury.&quot;\n\n&quot;Objection overruled,&quot; Helen said.  &quot;I\'d like to report on the family finances.  As you know, your father will be working out of his home office.  I\'m hoping that with the increase in salary, the savings in gas money from having to leave my office to pick you up and the fact that your father will have no more meals at the T. J. McQuickley\'s at the Lawndale National Airport, that we can save some money this year.  You know very well that your father and I make a tremendous sacrifice to send you to Fielding.&quot;\n\n&quot;And I haven\'t smelled any entrails yet,&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;That in mind, I think that it\'s time that you got part-time jobs over the summer.&quot;\n\n&quot;Can\'t.  Too busy,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;Trip to Hollywood in six weeks.  Many, many script revisions ahead. Will require very much Ultra Cola and pizza.  Furthermore, I make over $100 an hour as a tutor, compared with the measly minimum wage offered by the Republican political establishment in the city of Lawndale.&quot;\n\n&quot;Daria,&quot; Helen countered, &quot;your tutoring was only a few hours a week.  Furthermore, Elsie doesn\'t need a tutor over the summer.  And I won\'t have you sitting around all day not earning income.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah, Daria!&quot; Quinn said.  &quot;You shouldn\'t be so lazy.&quot;\n\n&quot;I assume that [i:cp5eexfj]you[/i:cp5eexfj] have some sort of job?&quot; Daria asked.\n\n&quot;Dah-RIA, I have a job as a camp counselor at the Crestdale Girls Summer Camp!  Grandma got me the job!&quot;\n\nDaria now knew why Quinn had returned to her old self after two weeks of mourning her botched performance, and why she hadn\'t been agitating for a trip to Hollywood along with Daria.  &quot;Why wasn\'t I informed of this?&quot;\n\n&quot;Furthermore,&quot; Quinn said, &quot;as a fashion and leadership advisor to a new generation of young girls, as well as providing critical guidance for a Fielding campus organization, my time is very valuable!  I expect to be doing a [i:cp5eexfj]lot[/i:cp5eexfj] of charity work over the summer!&quot;\n\n&quot;Quinn is being very responsible!&quot; Helen said.  &quot;And Crestdale Girls Camp is very prestigious.&quot;\n\n&quot;I mark it up to personal maturity,&quot; Quinn said, &quot;you have to do, do what you must, must!&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m about to puke, puke,&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;And I\'m also getting a 6G DroidGadget, which I\'ll use to replace my Blackberry,&quot; Quinn said.\n\n&quot;A wireless phone for the vaporware that is your brain,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;My script still needs revisions.&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'ve already spoken to Mr. Key.  He said that the script needs no further revisions.  All that\'s left is for me to accompany the two of you to Hollywood!&quot;\n\n&quot;Hey!&quot; cried Jake.  &quot;I was going to do that!&quot;\n\n&quot;Now, [i:cp5eexfj]Jake[/i:cp5eexfj],&quot; Helen chided, &quot;you\'ve done enough flying.  Besides, there might be legal issues involved if Daria can sell her script and if that happens, I want to be there.&quot;\n\n&quot;But my golf!  I was going to play nine holes at Brown Pines!  And I\'m an expert salesman and - !&quot;\n\n&quot;- and Pat Six is going to need your salesmanship.  How is it going to look if you go flying off to Hollywood at the start of a new job? Jake, [i:cp5eexfj]it\'s decided[/i:cp5eexfj].&quot;  Helen said those last two words in a manner indicating that her feet were now set in concrete.  Jake grumbled his displeasure, barely audible.\n\n&quot;Swim practice,&quot; said a desperate Daria. &quot;I have swim practice.  Fielding must succeed.  Fielding, Fielding, rah rah ree.&quot;\n\n&quot;I see,&quot; Helen said. &quot;So tell me when you last went to swim practice.&quot;\n\n&quot;Within recent memory,&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;Not recent enough.  You.  Job.  Summer.  If you can\'t find a job - [i:cp5eexfj]I\'ll find one for you.[/i:cp5eexfj]  I expect to hear positive results by the end of the week.&quot;\n\n&quot;In this economy?&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;You heard me.&quot;\n\n&quot;I heard there was a stable keeper position open at Crestdale Girls Camp!&quot; Quinn said.\n\n&quot;You\'ve shoveled enough manure for the both of us,&quot; Daria said.  [i:cp5eexfj]Great.  Now I have to find something to do over the summer.  Or develop enough of an interest in diving when I\'m not working to get Mom to let me do it full-time.  Verily, the suckitude never endeth.[/i:cp5eexfj]\n\n(* * *)\n\n&quot;Horrible news, Dar,&quot; Elsie said.  &quot;Of course, my summer won\'t be much better.  We\'re going to be visiting some of the older Sloanes.  It\'s hard to enjoy a steak dinner when everything has been ground into a thin paste.&quot;\n\n&quot;I was hoping that there would be trips to Paris.  At least one of us would be happy,&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;It shan\'t happen, but I have some good news,&quot; Elsie said. &quot;I shall be learning to drive over the summer.  No more dependence on Young Thomas and his automobile.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes, but unfortunately there\'s still a dependence on having to give Quinn a ride,&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;Is there some way we can foist her on my brother?&quot;\n\n&quot;Sorry.  My mother demands that Quinn return in one piece.  Although Quinn has been a lot quieter over the summer.  She hasn\'t been her usual annoying, pigheaded self.&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh, by the way,&quot; Elsie said, &quot;...uh...hm...I shall be having a [i:cp5eexfj]fete[/i:cp5eexfj] next year. Possibly two.&quot;  Elsie seemed embarrassed.\n\n&quot;What kind of fete?&quot; Daria asked.\n\n&quot;Ugh.  My mother insists that we hold a couple of parties.  In order that I might be presented at the Starry Night Ball senior year.&quot;\n\n&quot;Wait.  You\'re talking about a [i:cp5eexfj]debut[/i:cp5eexfj]?&quot; Daria asked.\n\n&quot;Unfortunately, correct.  My mother wants me to be all [i:cp5eexfj]sparkly[/i:cp5eexfj],&quot; Elsie said, the last word voiced in a dry contempt.  &quot;There is no point in battling without bringing massive embarrassment to the Sloane family name.&quot;\n\n&quot;My mother just [i:cp5eexfj]makes[/i:cp5eexfj] me do stuff,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;How does passive-aggression sound?&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m merely reminded of all the people that have supported and loved me over the years,&quot; Elsie said, putting her finger to her throat and making a mock gagging sound.  &quot;Nothing can be done.  I shall be playing dress-up at the end of senior year.  And there are some obligatory events to be held during junior year.  As my mother is a member of the top-secret Starry Night deb selection committee, my acceptance as a debutante is 100 percent secure.  But you must come; there\'s no way I can do this without you.  It\'s just so [i:cp5eexfj]horrible[/i:cp5eexfj] and [i:cp5eexfj]boring[/i:cp5eexfj].&quot;\n\n&quot;Sure.&quot;\n\n&quot;You shall have to wear something suitable.  We\'ll just tell people you debuted in Sioux Falls.  No one goes to Sioux Falls, anyway.&quot;\n\n&quot;Dammit,&quot; Daria said, &quot;I wanted an alibi as a double-naught spy.  Why is it a secret, anyway?&quot; \n\n&quot;Because if anyone knew that Mom was in charge of selecting debutante candidates, there would be no end of harassment from the desperate.  My mother receives all sorts of cards, telephone calls, gifts and sundry bribes from anxious hausfraus, all of whom [i:cp5eexfj]think[/i:cp5eexfj] that she might be on the committee.  If they had proof that she was there she\'d have no time to herself.&quot;\n\n&quot;Is this some kind of prom?&quot; Daria asked, unfamiliar with the debutante concept.\n\n&quot;Well...there\'s a small formal...or in LauraJeanne\'s case, a large informal...and then, a dance later this year.  After that, I\'m free until Maryland\'s finest gather for one beautiful Starry Night.  There is dancing, but despite fox trot lessons three years ago I am told that if I can master a simple box step it shall suffice.  One dance with my father, one dance with my brother who shall be my escort - a debutante version of a date, I suppose - and then I am free to show my face in society...and bite its nose off.&quot;\n\n&quot;Hmm.  Minuses - having to dress up.  Pluses - a night of drunken debauchery.&quot;\n\n&quot;Maybe,&quot; said Elsie.  &quot;But I don\'t drink.  So it shall merely be an ordeal.&quot;\n\n&quot;If it\'s as bad as you say it is, Elsie, then why would you invite your friends to take part?&quot;\n\n&quot;Because what greater love hath a friend,&quot; Elsie said, &quot;than to share her misery with others.  It\'s in the Book of Job.  I think. I only pulled a C in Old Testament this year.  I flunked God.&quot;\n\n(* * *)\n\nThree days had passed since Helen had made her threat.  Four to go before the prospect of an obligatory job loomed ahead.  Daria had put in three resumes - the library, a bookstore, and even as a lifeguard at a swimming pool - but had heard nothing back.  She suspected that her employment prospects were dim, and hopefully dim enough to give her mother pause.\n\nDaria\'s phone rang.  &quot;Daria Morgendorffer speaking,&quot; she said, hoping that it was an employer.\n\n&quot;[i:cp5eexfj]Dar, Elsie here.  Good news.  I have rescued you on the job hunt.  Now, I\'d say you owe me.[/i:cp5eexfj]&quot;\n\n&quot;If you\'ve got a job for me,&quot; Daria said, &quot;I\'m hoping for \'YouTube Sensation.\'&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:cp5eexfj]Those prospects are dim,[/i:cp5eexfj]&quot; Elsie said.  &quot;[i:cp5eexfj]Winged Tree Country Club needs restaurant staff.  All sorts of captains of industry send their children there over the summer.  To teach them the benefits of a stiff upper lip and a shoulder to the grindstone.  Some of the staff are Fielding kids, and out of the names I know working there there are no creeps or asses.  The job also satisfies your mother\'s important networking caveat, and there are tips involved I understand.[/i:cp5eexfj]&quot;\n\n&quot;All right. What would I do?  Waitress?  Greeter?   Dishwasher?  I\'m not going to kill game.  I draw the line at shooting small animals.&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:cp5eexfj]I reallllly don\'t know what it requires.  It is a job, however.  Who knows?  You might meet your dashing future husband there.[/i:cp5eexfj]&quot;\n\n&quot;I guess that you and Tom don\'t have to work. It must be sweet to not have to make a living.&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:cp5eexfj]Dear Dar,[/i:cp5eexfj]&quot; Elsie said, &quot;[i:cp5eexfj]our summering [b:cp5eexfj]is[/b:cp5eexfj] work.  Trust me, I\'d much rather be doing what I\'ve proposed as a summertime project.  It beats making conversation with moldy old relatives any day.[/i:cp5eexfj]&quot;\n\n&quot;When I make it big in Hollywood,&quot; Daria said, &quot;this little burg won\'t even deserve the dust from my shoes.&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:cp5eexfj]Have you kept up with dear old Mr. Key?  How do you know he\'ll come through?[/i:cp5eexfj]&quot;\n\n&quot;Because I know all the details,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;According to Key, he used to be a full-time writer in Hollywood.  He wrote a lot of movie and TV scripts, but none of them were ever picked up.  He became a script doctor instead.  When he was there, he used to room with a bunch of other writers, and one of those guys made it big as a movie producer.  Key said that there are a lot of people in Hollywood with the power to say \'no\' but only a few with the power to say \'yes.\'  He has the \'yes\' power.&quot;\n\n&quot;Ah.  And why is he predisposed to look at one of Key\'s scripts?  Or your script?&quot;\n\n&quot;Because Key says they\'re both getting old and sentimental.  Key hasn\'t submitted a script since he started full-time at Fielding and this guy - a guy named Ethan Whippet - liked his writing.  They were both prep school grads and Bromwell men, so they got along fine in the Hollywood Ivy Mafia.  They\'ve been looking forward to seeing each other.&quot;\n\n&quot;Hmf.  He should accept your script sight unseen, and liberate you from your indentures.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah.  But Mr. Key said that money is thicker than blood in Hollywood.  He also told me that a friendship will last forever - as long as money is never involved.&quot;\n\n&quot;In that case,&quot; Elsie said, &quot;I shall no longer pay you for tutoring.&quot;\n\n&quot;In which case,&quot; Daria said, &quot;I\'ll no longer tutor you.&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh, pooh.  I suppose we\'ll have to remain \'frenemies.\'&quot;\n\n&quot;\'Frenemies\' it is.  Send any money lying in the Sloane vaults to 1111 Glen Oaks Lane.  Trust me, if you get tired of money I\'ll keep it for you.&quot;\n\n(* * *)\n\nAs it turned out, Elsie\'s tip proved true.  Winged Tree Country Club looked over her resume, and with her Fielding pedigree they determined that she was a worthy hire.  She didn\'t recognize anyone from Fielding working at the restaurant , so she suspected that if there were any Fielding kids on staff, they didn\'t work there.  \n\n&quot;We have a job either as a dishwasher,&quot; the manager said, &quot;or as a bus girl.  Or bus person.  Whatever.&quot;\n\n&quot;Bus?&quot; Daria asked.\n\n&quot;That means that you\'d be clearing the tables.  You carry a large plastic bin to the table, you take dirty dishes from the table, you remove the table cloth and put down a new one.  Repeat until closing.  But there\'s still a spot as a dishwasher.&quot;\n\nDaria balanced it out.  As a dishwasher, no one would know that she was there.  On the other hand, she\'d have to clean grody dishes, and be in control of a nozzle that dispensed scalding water, and also have to handle broiling clean dishes.  Whereas as a bus person she\'d just have to remove stuff from tables and let someone else take care of it.\n\n&quot;I\'ll do the bus person thing.&quot;\n\n&quot;Fine.  You\'ll work some lunch shifts until you get the hang of it.  And by the way - staff hours can change [i:cp5eexfj]on demand[/i:cp5eexfj],&quot; the manager said. &quot;Have your cell phone ready.&quot;\n\n(* * *)\n\nThe work was simple, almost exactly the way the manager said it would be.  As tables turned over, the bus boy (or girl) would come in, clear the table, and bring the dirty dishes to the dishwasher.  There were two more people that would place a new tablecloth on a table with new silverware.  The table would be set up and ready to go.\n\nDo this multiple times a night, and you were set.  When there were crowded nights, it could be stressful.  The maitre d\' wanted tables turned over [i:cp5eexfj]quickly[/i:cp5eexfj], and since all shit flows downhill, Daria would receive some nasty remarks from the servers (but never the maitre d\' himself - bus staff were too low on the pecking order for the maitre d\' to directly acknowledge).  Daria\'s job was delayed at times by some restaurant patron wanting silverware, or a soda, or wine, or whatever - this forced her to attend to the needs of the patron and put a drag on the bus part of bus girl.  \n\nMost of the time, however, she wasn\'t noticed at all - she was just a member of Winged Tree\'s anonymous restaurant staff.  Daria quickly learned that there was definitely a kitchen hierarchy, and bus staff and dishwashers were at the bottom of it.  For those at Winged Tree that [i:cp5eexfj]weren\'t[/i:cp5eexfj] doing it as a summer job, the hope was advancement - the needs of a restaurant often called people into working at unfamiliar tasks, and like a minor league baseball player a bus person or dishwasher could be called up to temporary server (and in the most rare of cases, prep chef).  If management liked how you filled in, you\'d be asked to fill in more frequently and you could win a starting slot.\n\nDaria had no ambition beyond serving her term.  It was definitely not Fielding Prep.  The job was mindless - a set of repetitive tasks performed over and over and over again until end of shift. Aside from the occasional squick factor of handling a phlegmy napkin, there was no break in the monotony.  \n\nShe received a cut of the server tips - it was supposed to be 10 percent, but the accounting was left entirely up to the servers, and Daria suspected that some of them were simply dishonest.  On the other hand, Daria had seen some really wild crap before.  She had seen customers go wild and berate some poor server who had done nothing wrong other than to be the target of the moment for some rich douchebag.  There was a time some big athlete - a professional golfer - came to eat at Winged Tree and he left a grand total of $2 for a tip for a $200 meal.  (The servers wondered what kind of tips his caddies got.)\n\nThere were some cool people working there.  There were some assholes.  But all in all, as Elsie would have put it, it was a [i:cp5eexfj]horrible bore[/i:cp5eexfj].\n\n(* * *)\n\nFour days before Daria\'s trip, it was a horrible night.  It was a July 4th and Winged Tree was packed.  She didn\'t think that the rich were particularly patriotic, but if they weren\'t, they had decided to decamp at the restaurant at Winged Tree.\n\nThe first sign of a bad night was that Daria got called in on a day off.  &quot;Tabitha and Gwen have flaked out,&quot; her manager said.  &quot;That makes you the only bus person.  So I need you here and I need you now.&quot;\n\nDaria\'s dad got her to Winged Tree, and she knew it was going to be a bad night when she saw the line of customers waiting to be seated - undoubtedly waiting for a table to be cleared. They would all be in their most demanding moods, their nerves sharpened like razors before being seated.  When Daria saw her manager busing tables - which she had never seen him do - she knew they were all &quot;in the weeds&quot;, restaurant-speak for being way behind.\n\nOne hour in, Daria was yanked off bus duty.  &quot;Daria, go talk to Harry.  We need you at the bar.&quot;\n\n[i:cp5eexfj]The bar?[/i:cp5eexfj]  &quot;Uh, I\'m not twen-!&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah, I know how old you are,&quot; growled her manager as if she had smarted off to him.  &quot;These people want booze and I only have one bartender.  Get over there, Daria!&quot;\n\nDaria found her way to the bar.  The only thing the barkeep shouted was &quot;Fill glasses!  Cokes!&quot; and Daria grabbed empty glasses and started filling with anything non-alcoholic.  The nozzle had buttons that could deliver a choice of non-alcoholic beverages, and Daria found herself doing it non-stop for 45 minutes.\n\n&quot;Where\'s my drink?&quot;  ([i:cp5eexfj]See all these bottles on the wall?  I\'d start there.[/i:cp5eexfj])\n&quot;Hey, miss, can you hurry up?&quot;  ([i:cp5eexfj]No, I can\'t, I wouldn\'t even know where to start in making you a martini.[/i:cp5eexfj])\n&quot;I should be comped! I\'ve been waiting fifteen minutes!&quot; ([i:cp5eexfj]We\'ll strike a medal in your honor.  I\'ve tended bar for twenty minutes, and even I can tell that you\'ve had enough.[/i:cp5eexfj])\n\nOn it went.  Daria\'s biggest fear - a terror, actually - was that some state inspector would come in, see Daria working behind the bar, and strip the country club of its liquor license.   Daria would then be blamed and sued into oblivion.  (Unlikely, but her mother would probably give her a major ass-chewing.  Daria could hear the &quot;why didn\'t you [i:cp5eexfj]complain[/i:cp5eexfj]?&quot; whine in her mother\'s voice.)  As she passed out non-alcoholic drinks, she tried not to make any eye contact with the customers and found herself answering in a comic baritone.\n\nWhen Daria had a chance to look up, she saw her manager.  &quot;Daria, I\'m pulling you from the bar.  We need someone to clean the men\'s room.&quot;\n\n&quot;Hey!&quot; Harry said.  &quot;Still got drinks coming.&quot;\n\n&quot;Can\'t.  We\'ve had customers complain.  Go get a mop and clean it up.&quot;\n\nDaria sighed, and returned the nozzle to its resting place, removed her apron and walked through the back area until she found the mop and the plastic bucket.  She knocked loudly on the men\'s room door.  &quot;Hello?  Anyone in there?&quot;\n\nHearing no answer, she opened the door, placed a doorstop up, rolled the mop and bucket into the room and propped up the &quot;WET FLOOR&quot; sign to indicate that a clean-up was in progress.  She\'d mop the floor, swipe the commodes, wipe down the mirrors and quickly move back.\n\nThe trash can was filled with wet paper towels.  She took out the plastic bag she had stuffed in her pocket and set it down on the counter.  Daria opened the metal closet in the bathroom, pulled out the cleaning solution and prepared to scrub the toilets quickly and violently.\n\nAs she opened the first stall - she finally understood why there was a complaint.  The last patron...[i:cp5eexfj]failed to discharge his burden accurately[/i:cp5eexfj].  The toilet, floor, and back walls were covered in feces.\n\n&quot;GOD DAMN IT!&quot; cried Daria.  The voice echoed out into the restaurant, causing a few patrons to turn - but not for long.  They were hungry.\n\n(* * *)\n\nWith Tom and Elsie making obligatory visits to their extended family, this left Daria quite alone.  Quinn had decamped to Crestdale Girls summer camp to teach five-year-old rich girls how to put on makeup and make lanyards.  She had been looking forward to some time to herself; after a week she was tired of it and devoured any news or calls from Elsie.\n\nThe only other activity for Daria was working on her writing - she was trying to write 3,000 words a day, which was proving very difficult - and marking the days to the Hollywood trip.  She couldn\'t help but let her thoughts wander towards positive outcomes despite her cynicism.  [i:cp5eexfj]What if they make this into a major film?  What will it be like when I see \'Written by Daria Morgendorffer\' on the screen?  Will I win an Oscar for Best Screenplay?[/i:cp5eexfj]\n\nAfter a few days of that, she concluded that she\'d be happy to see it become a film [i:cp5eexfj]at all[/i:cp5eexfj], even if it ended up in the PayDay Remainder Bin.\n\n(* * *)\n\n&quot;Daria!&quot; \n\n[i:cp5eexfj]The moment is here.  We are in a plane.  We are flying to Hollywood.  I am doing this now.[/i:cp5eexfj]\n\nDaria\'s mother had left her seat to go to the bathroom, giving Daria time for some unguarded speech.  &quot;It seems,&quot; Daria said, &quot;that a lot of stuff has been going on behind my back.&quot;\n\n&quot;Nothing out of the ordinary,&quot; Key said.  &quot;Your mother just wants to make sure that your rights are being protected.  So I spent a long time talking to her about the life of a writer and about contract negotiation and sort of how the Hollywood system works.  That, and she\'s obsessed with the idea that you\'re going to run away to Hollywood and leave Fielding behind.&quot;\n\n&quot;You\'re kidding,&quot; Daria said.  Her mother had hinted at no such thing.\n\n&quot;I told her that the chances of a 16-year-old writer being hired for a major film production are between \'slim\' and \'none.\'  Or that a first script would ever be turned into a movie, although stranger things have happened.  Oh, by the way, your mother also thinks I\'m trying to steal your script, so I\'ve got that going for me.&quot;\n\nDaria looked at Key in an odd way.  Key chuckled.  &quot;Well, if that were the plan, I won\'t be getting away from it now.  Although if this script gets optioned, then I\'m going to press my acquaintance with you for all that traffic will bear.&quot;\n\n&quot;I want two points, gross and not net,&quot; Daria said with a smile, remembering the lecture Key gave in Screenwriting.\n\n&quot;The only points you\'d ever get are monkey points,&quot; Key said.  &quot;Besides, the life of a screenwriter is you get a strict check.  No screenwriter ever got points for anything.  Part of the appeal might be that you\'d come cheap.  How much pull does a 16-year-old have, anyway, unless she\'s Miley?  You\'ll have to take what you get, kid.&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'ll settle for seeing my name on the screen.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, you do know that the odds against you are 99 to one.&quot;\n\n&quot;Which is why I wonder why we\'re making this flight to utter failure.  Hope against hope?&quot; Daria asked rhetorically.\n\n&quot;Hey, there are people who don\'t even get [i:cp5eexfj]this much[/i:cp5eexfj] of a chance,&quot; Key said.  &quot;If the door is being slammed in your face, you\'re about to make it in Hollywood.  Most people don\'t even get to hear the sound of that door.  We not only get to see the door...but [i:cp5eexfj]our foot is in the gap[/i:cp5eexfj].&quot;\n\n(* * *)\n\nThe three of them - Daria, Helen, and Victor Key - drove to a steel and glass building in Universal City.  It was not so much the Hollywood treatment as having one\'s name on a list and being allowed to park in an underground garage.\n\nOther than that, the experience was no different from parking in any other office building - but there was a guard in the elevator and she decided what floor a patron was allowed to go to.  When they stepped off onto the ninth floor - Incitatus Productions - they found themselves in an impressive glass-and-marble lobby with an equally impressive coiffed secretary.\n\n&quot;May I help you?&quot; she asked.\n\n&quot;We\'re here to see Ethan Whippet. I\'m Victor Key, and with me are Helen Morgendorffer and Daria Morgendorffer.&quot;\n\nShe called on her invisible headset.  &quot;Mr. Whippet, I have Mr. Key and Ms. Morgendorffer here - yes - yes.&quot;  She smiled. &quot;Please wait five minutes.&quot;\n\nThe three sat down.  &quot;He\'s running late,&quot; Daria whispered.\n\n&quot;[i:cp5eexfj]Power play[/i:cp5eexfj],&quot; Victor Key answered.  &quot;Never let them think that you\'ve got all the time in the world.&quot;\n\nThe five minutes seemed interminable.  Finally, the secretary snapped to attention, hearing an invisible voice.  &quot;Mr. Whippet will see you now.  Please follow the hallway to your right.  The office is at the end of the hallway.&quot;\n\nDaria turned to Helen.  &quot;Well, into the Hellmouth,&quot; she said.\n\n&quot;You\'ll do [i:cp5eexfj]fine[/i:cp5eexfj], Daria,&quot; Helen lied.  She wondered how sociable Daria could be even in optimal circumstances.\n\n(* * *)\n\nVictor Key felt he had to remind Daria for a thousandth time.  &quot;I\'ll do the talking.  Be sociable, but not beyond a certain point.&quot;\n\n&quot;Got it.&quot;  Daria was happy - not being too sociable played to her strengths.\n\nAs they walked down the hallway - it was then that she knew that she was going to a [i:cp5eexfj]producer\'s[/i:cp5eexfj] office.  The walls were covered in various movie posters, and she recognized some of the movies.  Each poster was professionally framed, and there were photographs of actors at various functions.  Daria tried to absorb it all in the thirty seconds of walking time.\n\nFinally, she came to the office.  It had no door.  Theoretically, anyone could walk in but Daria somehow knew that no one would dare to.  Victor, on the other hand, was not intimidated.\n\nThe two entered the room and the large glass windows provided enough Los Angeles sunlight for a sunroom.  The man at the desk wore a black T-shirt and black corduroys.  He looked to be in his mid-60s, approximately Victor Key\'s age.  He was thin but his black T-shirt was tight enough to reveal a middle-aged gut.  The man wore glasses and had a black-and-grey pepper beard.  Daria noticed the yellow rubber LIVESTRONG band that the man wore, the only bit of color in an office crossed between art deco and country club.\n\n&quot;Big time Vic!&quot;\n\n&quot;Ethan the Writing Magician!&quot;  The two men shook hands heartily.  Daria knew that the two spoke occasionally on the phone, but this was the first time they had talked face-to-face in almost a decade.  \n\n&quot;How\'s things?&quot; Victor asked.\n\n&quot;Good, good.  I\'m doing all right for myself.  Who\'s your little friend?&quot;\n\n&quot;This is Daria Morgendorffer, one of my prize students.&quot;  Daria recognized the cue and reached over to take Whippet\'s hand.  [i:cp5eexfj]God, I hope this smile doesn\'t look too forced or awkward[/i:cp5eexfj], Daria thought, severely out of her comfort zone.\n\n&quot;Good to meet you.  Fielding?&quot; Whippet asked.\n\n&quot;Yes.  I\'m a sophomore.&quot;\n\n&quot;Good,&quot; said Whippet, but Daria got the impression that he could have cared less about Daria\'s academic class designation.  &quot;Well, time is money.  So let\'s get to it.  About your script.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, I\'m hoping you read it,&quot; Victor said.\n\n&quot;[i:cp5eexfj]Sort of[/i:cp5eexfj],&quot; Victor said.  &quot;I had one of my guys read it.  He didn\'t like it.  He said it was too complicated.  Maybe you can uncomplicate it for me.  Sit down.&quot;\n\nThe two sat down.  &quot;Ethan, it\'s sort of a cross between [i:cp5eexfj]Mean Girls[/i:cp5eexfj] and [i:cp5eexfj]Harry Potter[/i:cp5eexfj].  You know, old private school....&quot;\n\n&quot;...[i:cp5eexfj]Seton[/i:cp5eexfj]?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah,&quot; Victor said, referring to Whippet\'s [i:cp5eexfj]alma mater[/i:cp5eexfj].  &quot;It\'s a romantic comedy,&quot; Victor said, and Daria was almost aghast because she knew that it was more of a dark comedy if a comedy at all.\n\n&quot;Chick flick,&quot; Ethan said, making a pronunciamento.\n\n&quot;It has that old British school appeal. Makes people watching it feel important, like they could afford a prep school.  But there\'s romance and drama to keep the audience involved, to down-to-earth it.&quot;\n\n&quot;The title is great,&quot; Whippet said, and a bolt of adrenaline flushed through Daria.  &quot;They\'re going to expect nudity.  This isn\'t a hard R, is it?&quot;\n\n&quot;No, no hard R.  There\'s a great role in there for the title character.  If you had read it, every actress in Hollywood\'s going to be all over that role.&quot;\n\n&quot;You wrote it from practical experience?&quot; Whippet asked, referring to Daria.\n\n&quot;The names were changed to protect the innocent,&quot; Daria said with a smile.  Whippet grinned, and Daria\'s full attention was riveted now to every word either man said.\n\n&quot;I don\'t know, Vic,&quot; Whippet said.  &quot;Too many moving parts, my guy said.  He said it would be an ensemble flick, and that\'s a lot of cash to shell out for an unknown.  If it had an adult name and not a kid\'s name on it, I might give it a shot.  And a first script?&quot;\n\n&quot;Ethan, that\'s nothing.  Who gives a fuck whose name is on it?  You know talent when you read it.  It jumps off the page.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah, but if it\'s as good as you say it is, then people in the industry are going to want to know the name of this hot young writer, and when we trot out a sixteen-year-old we\'re going to look like jackasses if it flops.  I can read it in the trades, and my balls are still sweating from my last picture, which between you and me did dick at the box office.  If she were ten years older I could put her name on it and no one would give a rat\'s ass, but you know that there are hacks in this town that are just waiting to stick an ice pick in you.  Perception is everything.&quot;\n\n&quot;Does the name matter?&quot; Vic asked rhetorically.  He looked frantically at Daria, and Daria got the impression that she was being bidden to speak.\n\nShe then saw the cruel eyes of Ethan Whippet bearing down on her.  Before she could speak, he turned his head.  [i:cp5eexfj]The moment to interject was over.[/i:cp5eexfj]\n\n&quot;I don\'t knowwwwwww,&quot; Whippet said. &quot;There are too many unknowns.  I\'m going to take a pass on this.  A script on spec?  Jesus.&quot;\n\n&quot;Change your mind,&quot; Victor said, almost pleading.\n\n&quot;Hmf.  All right.  Fifty thousand...for a [i:cp5eexfj]kill fee[/i:cp5eexfj].&quot;\n\n&quot;You can\'t kill this script; this script isn\'t even alive yet,&quot; Victor said.  \n\n&quot;I just want to sit on it,&quot; Ethan said. &quot;And I\'ll sit on it for fifty thousand dollars.  What do you think?&quot;\n\n&quot;We have to talk,&quot; Victor said.  &quot;I\'ve got the girl\'s mother out here.  This is a big decision.&quot;\n\n&quot;Give me an answer in five minutes,&quot; Ethan said.  \n\nThe two left and when Daria got out of the office and out of vocal range, she muttered, &quot;What is a kill fee?  What did he mean by sit on it?&quot;\n\nVictor didn\'t answer her.  When he got back to Helen, he said, matter of factly, &quot;Ethan is twisting in the wind.  He can\'t make up his mind.  So he\'s offering us a five-figure fee to sit on the script.&quot;\n\n&quot;Which means?&quot; Helen said.\n\n&quot;Which means that we can\'t shop the script around.  He\'s afraid that we\'ll take it somewhere else if he gives us a no.  But he doesn\'t want to pull the trigger.  So for safety reasons, he wants to pick up the script for fifty thousand and just keep it until he makes up his mind.  [i:cp5eexfj]If[/i:cp5eexfj] he ever does.&quot;\n\n&quot;What\'s our next best option?&quot; Helen said, in full negotiator mode.\n\n&quot;This is the best offer we\'re going to get,&quot; Victor said.  &quot;I suspect that Ethan\'s being nice to me.  I haven\'t shopped a script in Hollywood in fifteen years, and smarter men than me will figure out that Ethan was doing me a favor.  An old man and a girl knocking on doors in Hollywood?  Unless our names are Francis Ford and Sophia, it isn\'t going to happen.  They\'ll figure we had an \'in.\'  And Ethan\'s reader already \'noed\' it, so it\'s not like we have any support.  Ethan hasn\'t even read the thing.&quot;\n\nDaria hated being cut out.  &quot;Wait,&quot; she interjected.  &quot;Does this mean that [i:cp5eexfj]he owns this script[/i:cp5eexfj] if I take the fifty thousand?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes.  He [i:cp5eexfj]owns it[/i:cp5eexfj].  It\'s his property, to make into a movie or wipe his ass with.  I expect that your script is going to sit in the remainder pile.  But it is fifty thousand dollars, which is a lot of money for doing a hell of a lot of nothing, and a great job for a minor leaguer.  That 50K would make a lot of Hollywood writers and people pretending to be writers sit up and take notice.&quot;\n\n&quot;Daria,&quot; Helen said, &quot;it would be your first step as a professional writer.&quot;\n\n&quot;Could I take credit for it?&quot; Daria asked. &quot;That I at least sold something?&quot;\n\n&quot;That script will come with a non-disclosure agreement.  You can\'t admit to [i:cp5eexfj]anything[/i:cp5eexfj],&quot; Victor said.  &quot;It\'s \'Script?  Never heard of such a thing.\'  It\'s the thing you tell your friends about over pizza but if it gets to someone else then those lawyers will rip you to pieces and good luck ever selling anything else - and if you do become famous on your own, then Ethan Whippet has an early Daria Morgendorffer screenplay that he picked up for pocket change.&quot;\n\n&quot;Pocket change?&quot;  Daria asked.  [i:cp5eexfj]Fifty thousand dollars,[/i:cp5eexfj] she told herself.\n\n&quot;They spend that much in a [i:cp5eexfj]second[/i:cp5eexfj] around here,&quot; Victor answered.  &quot;That tells me that Ethan wasn\'t planning on spending a lot on this movie.  It would have had a lot of unknowns and unknown unknowns in it.  Basic cable quality.  You have to decide,&quot; he told Daria.\n\nIt was the kind of moment that a career could turn on.  Daria felt that her fate depended on a coin flip, with both sides tails and with \'heads\' the winning call.  If she sold the script, then that was the end of it - she\'d disown her own creation.  If she turned it down - no other chance might come, and at forty she might be sitting in a bar telling a bored bartender tales of The Script She Almost Sold.\n\nDaria thought.  Victor raised his hands and said, &quot;My name\'s not on it.  Your call.&quot;\n\n&quot;Can we get the non-disclosure clause stricken?&quot; Helen asked.\n\n&quot;Ethan\'s not the kind of guy to do that,&quot; Victor said.  &quot;He didn\'t get to where he is by being dumb.&quot;\n\nDaria fretfully looked at Helen.  She didn\'t want to give up the script.  [i:cp5eexfj]He\'s scared[/i:cp5eexfj], Daria told herself.  [i:cp5eexfj]He suspects that it\'s good.  And I know that it\'s good.  And if it is good, then I can\'t give it up for what might be nothing in Hollywood money.  But my parents really, really need this money.  If I turn it down, then maybe I\'m being just as selfish as this producer is.[/i:cp5eexfj]\n\nHelen sensed Daria\'s anxiety - she somehow knew Daria\'s conflicted spirit.  She reached out and took her daughter\'s hand.  &quot;I want you to know that Jake and I fully support you.  Whatever you decide...it can only be for [i:cp5eexfj]yourself[/i:cp5eexfj].&quot;\n\n(* * *)\n\nVictor and Daria walked back in.  &quot;[i:cp5eexfj]No deal[/i:cp5eexfj],&quot; Victor said.  &quot;We walk.&quot;\n\n&quot;Sixty,&quot; Ethan said.\n\nA split second of communication between Victor and Daria.  &quot;No.&quot;\n\n&quot;Seventy,&quot; Ethan said.  &quot;I\'m not going to pay even half the price for a commissioned script.  This is my final offer.  Take it or that\'s it.&quot;\n\nDaria spoke up.  &quot;[i:cp5eexfj]No.[/i:cp5eexfj]  Thanks, but no thanks.&quot;\n\nEthan gave her a puzzled look, and shook his head.  &quot;There are a lot of people in Hollywood that would have been glad to walk out with a check.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well,&quot; Daria said, &quot;I figure something will come through for me.&quot;\n\n&quot;I told you she was a rebel,&quot; Key said.\n\n&quot;Yeah.  Well, gotta run.  Victor, keep in touch,&quot; Ethan Whippet said, and extended his hand.  The audience was clearly over.\n\n(* * *)\n\nHelen seemed disappointed.  Daria was just glad that it was over.  Her own thoughts on the matter were cluttered.  If she had just been turned down from jump street, it might have been easier to take, but the fact that Whippet wanted to dick around with her left her disturbed.  Even with the fifty thousand dollar offer she didn\'t know if she was good or if Whippet was throwing change at her as a courtesy to Victor Key.\n\n&quot;Daria, maybe you can work on the script further,&quot; Helen offered as consolation.  &quot;Next year, we can try again.&quot;  \n\nHelen looked at Victor Key but Key raised his palm.  &quot;[i:cp5eexfj]No[/i:cp5eexfj].  That\'s it for me.  I\'m officially retired.  The only time I ever plan to come out here again is on vacation.  Did you know that I\'ve had my hopes dashed time and again?  I must have gone...dozens of times to offices like this.  I was always almost good enough but never quite there.  I got a lot of reads but never any real bites.  There\'s a lot I\'ve written that will never see the light of day.  After you do it beyond a certain point...you have to realize that there\'s a point of diminishing returns.  Maybe, with the right kind of education - maybe if I had heard some sort of advice that I wasn\'t paying attention to when it was given, maybe if I had started writing seriously a year earlier - I\'d be there.  But I\'m not there.  I was only good enough to correct someone else\'s mistakes.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, Daria,&quot; Key said as his own consolation.  &quot;Thanks for humoring me.&quot;\n\n&quot;No problem,&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;I\'m heading right back to Fielding Village, where I plan to go from grey to white hair watching old movies and showing up at alumni functions.  But you know...if I was your age....&quot;  Key sighed.  &quot;I might go through it all just [i:cp5eexfj]one more time[/i:cp5eexfj]...!&quot;\n\n(* * *)\n\n&quot;I\'m sorry that you\'re not the new hot writer of the movie set,&quot; Elsie said.  The Sloanes were back for two weeks in between visits.\n\n&quot;The hard part is going back to Winged Tree,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;It\'s just so god-damned boring.  And I feel guilty because we could use that money to pay for Fielding.  I don\'t mind selling out if I absolutely must.  But I felt that I was being cheated, too.&quot; \n\n&quot;Egad.  Well, I have some good news for the both of us.  My father has decided to purchase a car for me.  I don\'t know what kind of car it shall be, but my little Vespa will be retired beginning next term.  I shall have lessons and I shall be a driver.&quot;\n\n&quot;That\'s great.&quot;\n\nElsie smiled.  &quot;Dad was happy about my good grades.  Except for Old Testament.  However, we shall have to share with Young Thomas.  Even though we\'ll have two cars, we only have one parking space, which are rarer than hen\'s teeth at Fielding.  Even Pat doesn\'t have one, and I believe he outranks us socially.  Therefore, we shall take turns.&quot;\n\n&quot;We throw Tom in the back seat with Quinn,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;By the way, where is Tom?&quot;\n\n&quot;Tom is busy trolling the [i:cp5eexfj]barrrrs[/i:cp5eexfj],&quot; Elsie said.  &quot;I have heard it said that there are certain establishments in Lawndale that are...well, they are lax on carding.  And he is taking advantage of enjoying the nightlife.  Of course, there is something that he could be enjoying right under his nose.&quot;\n\n&quot;Shut up.  I\'m not going to be pushy,&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;Then no wonder you didn\'t get your script sold,&quot; Elsie said.  &quot;Not pushy [i:cp5eexfj]enough[/i:cp5eexfj].  Let\'s see, who has pushed you around so far this year?  The Fielding physician, Merritt, Zip Benson - !&quot;\n\n&quot; - [i:cp5eexfj]you[/i:cp5eexfj] - !&quot; Daria answered to add to the list.\n\n&quot; - [i:cp5eexfj]me[/i:cp5eexfj], Sue Bentley - !&quot;\n\n&quot;I think that little rebellion that shut down the Admin Building proves that I can push back.&quot;\n\n&quot;Not enough,&quot; Elsie said.  &quot;You\'re supposed to be a leader.  Fielding produces leaders, or at least I\'m told such in the brochures.&quot;  Elsie looked at Daria sympathetically.  &quot;Shall I help?&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:cp5eexfj]Hell no[/i:cp5eexfj],&quot; Daria said.  &quot;You\'ve done enough damage.  I think you\'ve soured Tom on going out with anyone in Fielding, and that includes me.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well,&quot; Elsie said, &quot;Tom would be a disappointing boyfriend anyway.  All full of advice and moral homilies.  A goody-two-shoes.&quot;\n\n&quot;Let me decide if his shoes are good or not.&quot;\n\n&quot;As you wish.  Although if you want the last name of [i:cp5eexfj]Sloane[/i:cp5eexfj],&quot; Elsie said, raising her mitts, &quot;you shall have to come out fists-up, swinging.&quot;  Elsie then punched Daria in the arm.\n\n&quot;Ow!&quot;\n\n&quot;See?  [i:cp5eexfj]Not pushy enough![/i:cp5eexfj]&quot;  Elsie\'s smile showed all her pearly white teeth.\n\nWhen Kay came into the room five minutes later, she was forced to ask why Daria and Elsie were wrestling with Daria holding Elsie in a head-lock.  Daria\'s bruises would last for three days, but she swore to herself that Kay stopped her before the choke-hold had the chance to do its magic.\n\n(* * *)\n\nIt was a week later.  Daria hadn\'t heard much from Quinn over the summer.  Quinn was the kind of person who could talk to her friends for hours on the phone but who barely had five minutes for her family.  Daria did not mind, not one bit.\n\nJake had started working full-time for Pat Six.  Daria thought that he would be wandering around to the kitchen or to catch up with things in some other room but he usually retreated to his new home office and remained there.  She knew he was working for him because Jake had left for Dallas for a week to acquaint himself with Pat Six\'s television holdings in Texas.\n\nThe phone rang.  Her father had a private line to take consulting calls.  Her mother was at work, which left Daria to take the call.  She hoped it wasn\'t Winged Tree calling her to work early.  The area code was one she didn\'t recognize.  &quot;Hello?&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:cp5eexfj]Is this Daria Morgendorffer?[/i:cp5eexfj]&quot;\n\nIt was a female voice.  &quot;Yes.  Who\'s calling?&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:cp5eexfj]Look, Ethan Whippet recommended you. Are you free?[/i:cp5eexfj]&quot;\n\n[i:cp5eexfj]Ethan Whippet[/i:cp5eexfj].  It seemed like ages ago.  &quot;Yes,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;I\'m free.&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:cp5eexfj]Good.  We\'re busy shooting today and we\'re having some trouble with Mila.  She wants better lines.  Of course, we\'re working with Anna and Anna\'s not going to have Mila get the best lines.  Also, Mila wants something sounding younger.  You write for teens, don\'t you?[/i:cp5eexfj]&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes.&quot;  [i:cp5eexfj]Yes, you could say I do.[/i:cp5eexfj]\n\n&quot;[i:cp5eexfj]Good.  Can you have ten pages for me?  I need those pages, like, [b:cp5eexfj]now[/b:cp5eexfj].  Mila threw a fit and we had to go out of the loop, because she\'s not happy script-wise.  I need you to pep this up.  Make it sound younger.  Give her lines some spice but not too much spice or it will be Anna\'s turn to throw a fit.  Can you do that?[/i:cp5eexfj]&quot;\n\n&quot;Sure.  Make it sound younger but not too much younger.  Give her something witty to say but not too witty.  Got it.&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:cp5eexfj]Good.  What\'s your fax number?[/i:cp5eexfj]&quot;\n\n[i:cp5eexfj]Shit!  I don\'t know it![/i:cp5eexfj]  In a hurry, she grabbed a card - one of her mother\'s business cards - and gave the fax number there.\n\n&quot;[i:cp5eexfj]All right.  I need this as soon as you can get it to me.  Two hours good enough?[/i:cp5eexfj]&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes.&quot;  Daria didn\'t know what she was committing to.\n\n&quot;[i:cp5eexfj]Good.  Goodbye.[/i:cp5eexfj]&quot;  The phone hung up without any explanation.\n\nDaria immediately rang her mother\'s office. &quot;Marianne...it\'s Daria.  I don\'t need to talk to Mom, but you\'re going to get some very important documents by fax that look like a written script.  This was an emergency fax to me.  Could you refax that back to the fax machine in Mom\'s bedroom?  Yes...thanks.&quot;\n\nBounding up the stairs, Daria waited.  After five minutes she thought that nothing was going to come through.  But after twelve infinite minutes, the fax machine began spitting out paper. \n\n[b:cp5eexfj]HEAVEN IN YOUR BACKYARD\n\nRed Dailies 10 am\n\nScenes 13, 17, 29, 50[/b:cp5eexfj]\n\nThe doubly-faxed pages were clearly in script format.   A Natalie was talking to a Shelly, but Daria didn\'t know which one was Mila and which one wasn\'t.  A lookup on the Online Movie Database told Daria everything that she needed to know about [i:cp5eexfj]Heaven in Your Backyard[/i:cp5eexfj], a coming-of-age comedy about two teenage girls attending the same community college...with Mila playing the part of Shelly.\n\nFrom there, she opened up a document and began typing, rapidly.  [i:cp5eexfj]No time to think!  This is pure first draft quality![/i:cp5eexfj]  She basically retyped the script out, typing as fast as she could.  She targeted Shelly\'s adjectives and added some Fielding slang to Shelly\'s lines.  There was a mention of a stat course and Daria flat out repeated a joke about statistics that one of her father\'s friends told her when she was nine.  \n\n[b:cp5eexfj]HEAVEN IN YOUR BACKYARD\n\nBlue Dailies:  11 am\n\npp 27-36\n\nScenes 13a, 17, 29, 50[/b:cp5eexfj]\n\n[i:cp5eexfj]What the hell?[/i:cp5eexfj]  Daria grabbed the sheets that were coming off her mother\'s fax machine which she heard across the hall spitting out paper.  Scene 13 had permuted into Scene 13a - some other writer had destroyed her work while she was right in the middle of Scene 17.  Her mystery caller must have been giving orders to some other writer.  [i:cp5eexfj]Great.  Now I\'m competing against some guy in Hollywood.[/i:cp5eexfj]  Clearly, she was not writing fast enough.\n\nThe phone rang.  Daria looked at the caller ID.  It was Tom.  [i:cp5eexfj]God-damnit![/i:cp5eexfj]\n\n&quot;Tom!&quot; she cried into the phone.\n\n&quot;[i:cp5eexfj]Hey, stranger.  Elsie and I were thinking of coming into Lawndale for lunch.  Wanted to know if you want to come along.[/i:cp5eexfj]&quot;\n\n&quot;Sorry.  [i:cp5eexfj]Can\'t[/i:cp5eexfj].  I have a writing job.&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:cp5eexfj]Cool.[/i:cp5eexfj]&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'d talk but there\'s a deadline.  Time is money.  Bye.&quot;  Daria hung up.  [i:cp5eexfj]Mystery caller, you\'d better be worth this.[/i:cp5eexfj]\n\n(* * *)\n\n[b:cp5eexfj]HEAVEN IN YOUR BACKYARD\n\nBlue Dailies:  12 pm - REVISED\n\npp 27-36\n\nScenes 13a-2, 17a, 29a, 50a[/b:cp5eexfj]\n\n[i:cp5eexfj]There![/i:cp5eexfj]  Daria called Marianne, and it took Marianne five minutes for her to find the cover page.  &quot;I\'ve got to have that cover page!&quot; she said, raising her voice to Marianne.  She felt guilty because Marianne was virtually an office slave, but it got the result and Daria swore to thank Marianne later.  (Upon further reflection, Daria felt that she sounded the way her mother sounded when she gave orders to Marianne.  It was [i:cp5eexfj]very[/i:cp5eexfj] disturbing.)\n\nUsing her mother\'s fax, she dialed the source number and sent the documents.  On the cover page, she included her name, address and the fax number of her mother\'s bedroom.\n\n(* * *)\n\nSix minutes later, she got a memo back on Incitatus Productions letterhead.\n\n[b:cp5eexfj]All:  Yellow Dailies will be released at 1 pm.  Scene 13a-2 replaces 13a on the Blue Dailies. - Tracy[/b:cp5eexfj]\n\nDaria waited a good twenty minutes for a follow-up.  For even a call.  But...nothing.  \n\n(* * *)\n\nIt was 4 pm.  Daria was taking a shower, still consumed by the mystery of what happened that kept people from calling back.  While in the shower, she heard the doorbell ring.  No way to get to the door at a decent time.  She wondered if it was Tom or Elsie stopping by.\n\n&quot;Kiddo!&quot;  It was Jake from downstairs.  &quot;You have some mail!&quot;\n\nDaria, soaking wet, stepped out of the shower and craned her head out the door. &quot;I\'m in the shower!&quot;\n\n&quot;It\'s downstairs!&quot;  \n\nDaria took her time.  She wasn\'t getting out of a nice warm shower for [i:cp5eexfj]mail[/i:cp5eexfj].\n\n(* * *)\n\nFifteen minutes later, Daria walked downstairs to check out the mail.  It wasn\'t so much mail as a courier\'s envelope addressed to her.  She knew that Fielding sent mail by courier occasionally.  What could [i:cp5eexfj]they[/i:cp5eexfj] want?\n\nShe opened the mail.  Inside was what appeared to be a check:\n\n[b:cp5eexfj]Pay to the order of:  Daria Morgendorffer\n\nSIX THOUSAND DOLLARS EVEN -------------- 6000.00[/b:cp5eexfj]\n\nIt was no joke.  It looked real.  She picked it up.  It had been typed on some sort of thicker-than-normal paper, and the bank\'s name indicated a New York office.  Daria examined the writing carefully - there was no logo, but she saw in the lower right hand corner the electronically-produced signature that might have been that of Ethan Whippet.\n\nSix thousand dollars.

That probably left him a little bit unsure about the possibility he might have unwittingly turned down a real potential asset (something which in the nature of things must happen all the time in the film industry and so must play on executives\' minds)--giving her this assignment, as well as meeting an immediate need, could be a way of testing her potential at limited cost.

Colors that haven\'t been seen since the seventies line the walls.  The molding running along the corners is of some fancy design that probably hasn\'t been in use since the fifties.  Even the doors that have just slammed shut behind me are thick, ornamental, and operate using a complicated external system of levers, latches, and gears that look like they\'d be right at home on the entrance of an 1880\'s general store.\n\nBut what really makes me feel the building\'s age is the fact that everything looks completely worn out and disused, as if Munson High hasn\'t seen a student - or, more importantly, a janitor - walking its halls in several decades.\n\nCobwebs line the ceiling and hang down in droopy grey threads.  A billboard sits on my left in the entrance foyer, and the bills festooning its surface are yellowed and brittle looking.  I can see a few inspirational posters stuck up on the hallway walls, but the kittens hanging from branches and scenes of airplanes flying through blue skies are all washed out and covered with a light sprinkling of mold.\n\nThe air smells stale with just a hint of foul rot underlying every inhaled breath.  I click on my flashlight, revealing a swirl of dust floating through the air.  I don\'t like this place already.\n\nBut hey, at least I\'m not being constantly bombarded by tiny fog pellets.\n\nI step further into the building and find myself standing in the middle of a T-shaped intersection, the hallway stretching off into the gloom to my left and right.  A small window looking like an old-fashioned teller station sits in the wall in front of me, the glass unnaturally smooth and clear for all the mess around it.  I lean forward and stand on tip-toe, shining my light in and doing my best to see through the resulting glare.\n\nThere doesn\'t appear to be anyone on the other side.  I tap my fingers lightly on the glass and toy with the small service bell sitting on the counter but pass on making any noise this early in the game.  I might get Quinn\'s attention, draw her right to me, and get the hell out of here without a minimum of fuss . . . or I might get something else\'s attention, draw it right to me, and stay in Silent Hill forever as a partially digested meal.\n\nAs I turn away to start walking down the hall, a brief glint of metal from the far end of the counter catches my eye.  Walking over to it, I find a pistol clip sitting right underneath the partition.  A pistol clip that just so happens to be the exact kind my pistol uses, and appears to have at least one bullet sitting at the top.\n\nEh.  What the hell.  I found Health Drinks just sitting in a car seat.  Why not this?  Without sticking my fingers too far under the partition, I grip the clip and slip it out.\n\nNo monster tries to grab my hand.  No alarms go off.  And a quick once-over shows the clip to be nothing more than what it looks like.  Moreover, it\'s completely filled, giving me ten more bullets to work with in a handy-dandy easy-to-use package.  How . . . [i:26xeck5p]convenient[/i:26xeck5p].\n\nI slide my new acquisition into one of my jacket\'s inner pockets and then trade my iron for my pistol as I start down the right corridor.  The ambient light is surprisingly bright for being filtered through a thick layer of fog and then a set of door windows, but I\'m still glad to have my new flashlight all the same.  It lights up a door on my left just a few steps in, a door with the word &quot;OFFICE&quot; printed across it at eye level.\n\nThe door creaks open and allows me into the room I looking into before.  But even though I already checked it out, I stay cautious for anything jumping out from behind one of the three office desks scattered around.  I rummage through the drawers, hoping to find one of the huge sets of keys to every door in the building, but I find nothing other than files and various bits of office supplies that look like they\'ve been hit by water damage that has long since dried.\n\nA small hallway leads off from the back of the room, but all I find there are doors to the principal and vice-principal\'s offices.  Both are locked and I get no answer from lightly rapping my knuckles on their surface, so I head back into the main room.\n\nAs I am about to go back out into the hallway, I see a small map up on the wall next to the door.  It\'s covered in a few markings showing the fire exits and recommended escape routes, but is otherwise easily legible and shows every room on both floors of the building.  Using the butt of my pistol, I crack out the glass covering the map and pull it from its frame.\n\nAfter taking a few seconds to make marks to remind myself that the doors to the back offices are locked, I fold the piece of paper, put it in the same pocket as the town map, and step out to continue on down the hallway.  I pass by a long row of grey-painted lockers before I come across the first classroom, which turns out to be more than just locked.  The doorknob obstinately refuses to turn even a fraction of an inch, almost as if the entire assembly were carved out of a single piece of unforgiving metal.\n\nMarking this on my map, I continue on to find this to be the general state of affairs with each door I come across until I reach the end of the hall and turn the corner to my left.  The next door opens easily, and I give a slight grunt of not-displeased surprise.\n\nIt\'s like stepping into a warzone.  All of the windows on the far side of the room have been haphazardly boarded up.  At first glance, it would seem that someone inside the school has done it, but as I get closer and my light hits the boards more directly, I can see that the wood is heavily scored in places.  Looking down at the floor reveals why.  Several schooldesks sit there overturned, broken, and twisted.\n\nSomeone wanted out.  Badly.\n\n[i:26xeck5p]What\'s that?![/i:26xeck5p]\n\nI twirl around, gun at the fore, but there\'s nothing there.  I strain my ears, feeling my skin prickle as I try to make out even the slightest sound, but there is only silence.  Strange.  I could have sworn I heard something.\n\nTrying to relax, I walk back over to the teacher\'s desk, the only piece of furniture in the room that hasn\'t been torn up.  The usual array of teacher\'s things litter the surface, so I ignore them and try to open the drawers only to find them rusted shut.  Figures.\n\nI stand up and turn around, and that\'s when I notice with some amusement that Munson High School apparently hasn\'t yet switched out their blackboards for white.  I notice with far less amusement that someone has left a message in the bottom left corner, a message that is written out not in chalk but in the unmistakable glistening crimson of blood.\n\n[i:26xeck5p]can\'t get out\nwalls keep changing\ncovered in flesh\nall doors locked\nWE ARE ALL TRAPPED[/i:26xeck5p]\n\nI don\'t want to think of Quinn writing this sickening little half-poem.  I don\'t want to imagine her slitting open her thumb or finger to do so.  I don\'t want to see the image of her haunted eyes as she wanders from room to room, screaming as she tries to bash her way to freedom.\n\nBut suddenly it\'s the only thing I [i:26xeck5p]can[/i:26xeck5p] see.\n\nI rush out of the room and gasp for breath.  The air isn\'t any less stale out here than in the room, but at least I don\'t have to stare at that bloody message.  I don\'t have to notice just how fresh it looks, how it could have been written just moments before I rounded the corner by someone who then slipped further into the building without my seeing.\n\nIf Silent Hill really is trying to use my own brain against me, it suddenly seems to be doing a damn fine job at it.\n\n[i:26xeck5p]There it is again![/i:26xeck5p]\n\nI know I heard it this time.  I raise my pistol and point it down the hall as heavy breaths seethe their way through my clenched teeth.  The dull thump comes again, then again, each time just a little bit closer.  The first faint quivers of my cellphone stir within my pocket, and I try to ready myself for whatever new thing this forsaken town is ready to throw at me.\n\nIt steps into the dim light with a massive, muscular leg.  Its other leg slowly swing around and lands a little closer to me.  Each achingly heavy step it takes makes the thumping noise I heard before as its bare feet slam to the ground.  Its body-\n\nOh, shit.  Its body is the only other thing it has that I can see.  The wide legs are attached to a massive torso that shows no sign of ever having had arms or a head attached to it.  Its skin appears to be the pinkish hue of normal flesh, but it is covered in mottled patches of dark red that looks almost like a cross between rust and blood.\n\nI think it\'s noticed me.  It stops walking, then lowers its torso so that it\'s pointing the area where a neck should be directly at me.  The wide surface its presenting is covered in what looks like a bone plate which gradually slopes to a dull point in the center.\n\nIt drags one of its feet across the ground three times, looking for all the world like a bull in some cheesy cartoon.  And just like that bull, it lets out a deafening roar and charges, its enormous bulk taking up almost the entire hallway.','8045768f395648a86090bd392e2bc9a5',0,'IA==','26xeck5p',1,1298956998,'',885,1,0),(463992,31881,6,1097,0,'149.171.7.46',1298934570,1,0,1,0,1,1,'','Re: DariaDorian Ch.13:Paper Towels and Open Flames Don\'t Mix','[quote=&quot;LadieT&quot;:1b09rpev]Dorian\'s train of thought was broken by Jane\'s voice.  &quot;I am now.

There were none.\n\n“Sure, sis. No problem.”\n\n“Alright.”\n\nDaria started to walk.

Other revolutionaries we met were doctors, engineers, tribal elders, even a web-savvy youth in a baseball cap.\n\nNight had fallen by the time we reached Nalut, where dozens of Amazigh tribesmen stood around campfires guarding barricades and manning checkpoints in the cold. Some carried weapons they had looted from army bases, the rest carried hunting rifles and clubs. The Amazigh we spoke to could not hide their euphoria.\n\n&quot;The fear of decades was broken after what happened in Egypt and Tunisia,&quot; said Khairy as he handed us small cups of green tea. The Amazigh have long struggled to retain their cultural rights in Gaddafi\'s Libya. &quot;We never thought this could happen in our lifetime,&quot; he said.\n\n...\n\nAmong the dishevelled and tired fighters at the hospital, Othman Zantani, an elegant and softly-spoken medical doctor, stood out. To tell the truth, he said, the revolution was not well co-ordinated.\n\n&quot;It\'s all happening spontaneously, but now we have to start organising ourselves. I am meeting with a lot of other towns and other tribal elders. We have to move from creating committees that will run daily affairs like health and security and providing aid to the people to creating a political committee that will represent the west of the country, just like what they did in the east. We will co-ordinate with them,&quot; he said.\n\nOne member of the security committee told me about plans to send weapons and ammunition to Tripoli and besieged cities like Zawiyah. A convoy of munitions was sent two days earlier but was intercepted by regime forces surrounding the city.\n\n&quot;The ultimate plan is to co-ordinate with our brothers from the east and march to Tripoli,&quot; said the security leader. &quot;The plan was start marching yesterday, but that was postponed. You see the situation is flexible so we can\'t really plan, but we have to send armed men to Tripoli. Those are unarmed people who are being massacred. We have to help them.&quot;\n\nA few blocks away from the hospital, the revolutionaries have set up a communications room in a nondescript office. There, at a desk covered with thick layers of dust and piled with three landlines, two mobile phones, nine chargers, two laptops and two packs of Marlbororo sits Omar, chain-smoking and glued to the screens of his many devices. He has a baseball cap pulled down over his face as he uploads video footage to YouTube, posts statements on Facebook and updates his contacts at al-Jazeera.\n\nOthers in the room were blogging and monitoring the TV and communicating with other activists. &quot;Without this room the revolution would have died,&quot; Omar said. &quot;We kept it going.&quot; He did not look up.\n\n[/quote:109969rl]\n\nOne extreme negative, as noted in that article and in many others, are that African migrant workers are being killed, assaulted, or otherwise brutalised because Libyans assume they\'re mercenaries.','674ba1d2c9ed75ac5323ba9cc46e669b',0,'kA==','109969rl',1,0,'',0,0,0),(464033,31954,10,1066,0,'71.226.248.54',1298941884,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Draw thread!','Well, here\'s my attempt at last week\'s challenge (my second attempt, since the first one was a disaster!)

Alt-rock and indie became inoffensive, rave culture became commercialised to the point where it resembled what it originally set itself against, and there was lots of crappy music. \n\nI like a few Britney and N\'Sync singles myself, though.

(‘Fáil’ rhymes with ‘boil’ and ‘Fine’ rhymes with ‘leaner’.) Over twenty-two elections, Fianna Fáil’s share of the first-preference vote has varied between 39 and 52 percent, Fine Gael’s between 20 and 39 percent, and Labour’s between 6 and 20 percent.\n\nThis time Fine Gael got 36 percent, Labour 19 percent, and Fianna Fáil 17 percent. Results have not been declared in all seats yet, but the projected final tally is that out of 166 seats Fine Gael will have 76, Labour 37, and Fianna Fáil only 20.\n\nThe Irish voters have obviously blamed the outgoing Fianna Fáil government for the country’s recent difficulties, without all of that huge loss of support transferring to the party’s traditional rivals in Fine Gael and Labour. Minor parties and independents are a long-standing feature of Irish politics, but their presence has been greatly expanded, with the projections giving them 33 seats, 14 of those going to Sinn Féin (pronounced like ‘Shin Fane’). (One minor party which didn’t benefit was the Greens, who were until recently the junior coalition partner in the outgoing government, and who have lost all 6 of their seats.)\n\nI’m no expert on Irish politics, but I do know that when there’s an electoral shift on that kind of scale—a party which has always been in first place dropping to third—a big impact follows.\n\nAnybody here know more about Ireland than I do?

She ran without knowing where she was going, and was only vaguely aware of where she was. When her adrenaline finally wore off, she found herself gasping for air in front of a giant strawberry. She collapsed to the ground and lay there, not caring when a strong pair of arms lifted her up.\n“Hey, are you ok?”\nShe shook her head weakly.\n“Come on, let’s get you to a bench,” the voice said, carrying her to a park bench and laying her down. Whoever it was moved raised her arms over her head and said, “Breathe deep. It’ll help, I promise.” Daria forced herself to take several deep breaths, and felt her body begin to relax. As her breathing slowed, she looked over at the person who had helped her.\n“Hey,” he said with a friendly smile. He looked familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she’d seen him before. “Feeling better?”\n“Yeah, a little,” she said softly. “Thanks.”\n“No problem. Was anyone trying to hurt you or anything?” he asked, looking around to make sure there was no one else around.\n“No, I screwed up and ran away.” She hung her head in shame as she admitted this.\n“It couldn’t have been too bad,” he said sympathetically.\n“I hurt someone I love more than anyone else in the world!” she said, fighting back tears. She jumped when she felt him wrap his arms around her tight.\n“Hey, I’m not going to hurt you,” he said in the same soothing tone of voice one would use when approaching a spooked horse. “It’ll be ok. I promise.”\n“How will it be ok?”\n“Who’d you hurt?”\n“My sister.”\n“What did you do?”\n“I kicked down her bed on top of her and I screamed at her.”\nHe was silent for a moment, then said, “I know your sister will forgive you. She loves you, and you love her. That’s what family does: they love, and they forgive.”\n\nJane was cleaning up Quinn’s forehead. Fortunately, it wasn’t a bad injury, and a touch of iodine and a bandage were all that was needed.\n“Quinn, do you want to talk about it?” Jane asked as she put the iodine away.\n“Talk about what?” Quinn asked bitterly, looking at the floor.\n“About whatever made Daria snap at you. All I heard was her Leonidas impersonation from downstairs. What happened?”\n“I guess I pissed her off,” Quinn said quietly, getting up and going to her room. She closed the door behind her, but with the latch destroyed Jane followed right behind her.\n“Jane, get out,” Quinn said, hatred in her voice.\nJane was taken aback. “Ok, at least tell me what [i:23zrfaty]I[/i:23zrfaty] did.”\nQuinn whirled on her, her eyes wide with rage. “What did [i:23zrfaty]you[/i:23zrfaty] do?! I’ve spent [i:23zrfaty]15 years[/i:23zrfaty] taking care of Daria! Everytime she got into a fight because someone looked at her wrong, whenever she came home crying because she lost control and hurt someone! Hell, I was the only one who knew for almost a year what GrandDad was doing to her! But I was always just ‘little sister’ who had to help out, wasn’t I?! Had to help her big sister, no matter what it cost me, right?! Then, you show up and all of a sudden she’s laughing, and happy, and if she wants you around instead of me then she should have just told me!”\nQuinn collapsed, tears streaming down her face. She was shocked when two strong arms caught her in mid-fall and held her, rubbing her back and whispering softly in her ear.\n“Quinn, Daria loves you, and I could never replace you. Where would you even think she would want that?”\n“I heard her tell you!” Quinn sobbed. “She said she wished I was more like you!”\n“Quinn,” Jane whispered, looking her in her eyes. “She doesn’t want me to take your place. She wants you to be happy. I swear to you, she doesn’t wish for you to stop being her sister.”\nQuinn’s sobs deepened, until Jane couldn’t hold back and began crying with her.\n\nDaria thanked the stranger as he dropped her off at her house. Walking to the door, she looked up at Quinn’s room. The light was on, but no one could be seen. In the driveway was her father’s car.\n[i:23zrfaty]Now I have to explain to Dad –and Dr. Samuels- why Quinn needs a new bedroom door[/i:23zrfaty], Daria thought as she walked into the house.\nJake was sitting on the couch, looking anxious. “Daria! Where have you been?”\n“I…I’m sorry, Dad. I just had to get out after what happened.”\nHe nodded. “Quinn and Jane told me all about it. We’ve still got a while before we need to leave. Do you want to talk to them?”\nDaria thought for a moment, then nodded. “I need to apologize to Quinn.”\nShe went upstairs slowly, almost hoping that Quinn would be around the corner holding something large and heavy. She walked to Quinn’s door which was slightly ajar since it wouldn’t close now. Inside, Jane and Quinn sat on the bed, their eyes red and puffy. Daria knocked softly on the door, and felt ashamed when Quinn stared impassively at her.\n“Quinn?”\n“Yes, Daria?” she replied in a complete monotone.\n“I’m so sorry,” Daria whispered, holding back her own tears. “I am so sorry that I did this to you.”\nQuinn got up and walked across the room, stopping when her face was only a few inches from Daria’s.\n“I’m so sorry,” Daria repeated, her voice no louder than a breath as she waited for Quinn’s reply.\nAfter a moment, Quinn asked simply, “Who would you choose?”\n“What?” Daria asked, confused.\n“Me or Jane? Who would you choose?”\n“You,” Daria said with no hesitation. “I’m sorry, Jane, but she’s my sister” she said over Quinn’s shoulder, then looked in her sister’s eyes. “You’re my [i:23zrfaty]sister[/i:23zrfaty], Quinn.”\nQuinn started crying again, and Daria wrapped her tightly in her arms. Jane came over and tried to squeeze past, but Daria grabbed her and pulled her into the hug. After a moment’s hesitation, so did Quinn, and the three stood there, crying and holding each other.\n\nAt Brittany’s house, Jodie was sitting on the couch ignoring some guy with a really big head as he tried to hit on her. Just as she was about to tell him off, Mack walked up and, with a glare, scared the guy off.\n“Hey, baby,” she said with a smile. “Where have you been?”\n“Sorry I’m late,” he said, sitting next to her. “I was driving past the park when I saw a girl crying. Stopped to make sure she was ok. Ended up giving her a ride home.”\n“You hero, you,” Jodie said with a small laugh to cover the rush of jealousy that she felt. She knew that Mack would never cheat on her, but with her activities taking up so much of her time, she knew that he had to feel left out a lot.\n“I’m no hero,” Mack said, grabbing a handful of chips from a bowl on the table. “I was just in the right place”\n“At the right time,” they finished together, chuckling. Brittany came over suddenly, squeaking and jumping.\n“Did you hear the news? Did you? Did you?”\n“What news, Brittany?” Jodie asked, hoping her exasperation didn’t show.\n“That new girl, Daria, is dating Jane Lane! You know, the artsy girl at school!”\n“Brittany, where’d you hear that from?” Mack asked, suddenly suspicious. He knew that the rumor-mill was as accurate as it was forgiving.\n“I heard it from that blond girl. I think her name is Tori?” she said, but Mack had already risen from the couch and was making his way across the room.\n“Tori?”\n‘Oh, hey Mack! How are you?”\n“Just fine. Who told you that rumor about Jane and Daria?”\n“Oh, that was Sandi Griffin. She’s over there by the tiger.”\nHe saw a girl surrounded by a small crowd, and immediately went over.\n“They were, like, kissing and stuff, and I heard that they have a, like, suicide pact if they ever got found out,” Sandi said to the crowd, who were hanging on her every word. Mack listened for a minute, then walked away, disgusted. He ran into Jodie as he was about to head for the door.\n“Where are you going?” Jodie asked as she grabbed her coat.\n“I’m getting out of here,” Mack said, looking back at Sandi and her slowly enlarging crowd. “Something in here’s making me sick.”','99b37a4232e1677368ff825319640e86',0,'YA==','23zrfaty',1,0,'',0,0,0),(464049,32053,6,1107,0,'151.203.14.189',1298944630,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Dreams','fdacero, your English is certainly better than my (your language here)!','7b38ebe0ce28291bb02d4269bce30f22',0,'','1jyh36dq',1,0,'',0,0,0),(464050,31797,4,114,0,'136.153.2.2',1298944894,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: I Can Smell Revolution in the Air...','[quote=&quot;J-D&quot;:q6wkyelh][quote=&quot;Deref&quot;:q6wkyelh]I didn\'t say it was.

Quinn was having a small bowl of cereal while Jane was drinking a cup of coffee.\n“Mrnng,” Daria mumbled as she sat at the table and found a glass of orange juice sitting in front of her. “Wzzit?”\n“Juice,” Jane said. She knew Daria had been up late the night before, still bothered by the events of the weekend. Quinn walked over and slid a plate with Sugar-Tarts under Daria’s nose. The smell seemed to bring Daria about, and she quickly ate the food. As she was drinking her juice, she sighed.\n“What’s up?” asked Quinn, putting her dishes in the sink.\n“I guess I’m still bothered by how I blew up at you,” Daria said softly, staring into the pulp at the bottom of her glass.\n“Daria, it’s ok,” Quinn said, taking Daria’s hand lightly. “I’ve seen you worse than that, and I know you didn’t mean for it to happen. It’s ok.”\nDaria squeezed her hand lightly, then nodded to herself. “Ok, let’s go face another Monday here in Hell.”\n\nThe three were just walking into the school’s main hall when Mack approached them.\n“Hi,” said Daria with a small smile. “Guys, this is my anonymous Samaritan from the park. I thought you looked familiar.”\nWith a small smile, he nodded. “I’m glad you’re feeling better. I’m Mack, by the way. I’m guessing you would be Daria?”\n“How’d you know that?” Daria asked, feeling nervous.\n“After I dropped you off, I realized that we have English and History together. Listen, I thought you should know there are some rumors going around about you.”\n“Joy,” Daria sighed. “Well, let’s hear them.”\n“The word is that you and Jane are lovers, and are planning on going Columbine if anyone tries to split you up.”\nThe words, “WHAT THE FUCK?!” echoed through the school.\nRubbing his ear, Mack said, “I figured as much. Just thought you should know before someone starts mouthing off to you about it.” He turned to leave, but Daria grabbed his arm.\n“Mack?” She hesitated, then with a small, shy smile, she said, “Thanks.”\n“No problem,” he said, smiling back.\n“Do you know who started the rumor?” Quinn asked. Mack shook his head and then said, “Yeah. It was your friend, Sandi Griffin.”\nAs the echoes of Quinn’s repetition of Daria’s previous question died, Mack uncovered both of his ears. “Damn, you Morgendorffer girls should join the pep squad with lungs like that.”\n\nDaria sat in her History Class and felt almost every pair of eyes focused on her.\n“Where were the first shots of the Civil War fired, Kevin?” Mr. DeMartino asked, turning from the board to the class to find that no one was looking his way except for Daria, Jane, and Mack.\n“ExCUSE ME!” he yelled, and all eyes snapped to him. “Is there some particular REASON that Ms Morgendorffer is MORE INTERESTING than your HISTORY LESSON?!”\nNo one answered for a long moment, then Brittany spoke.\n“It’s the rumors, Mr. D. People are just so….curious!” she squeaked, leading Daria to sigh and grab her backpack. As she walked towards the door, Mr. DeMartino asked, “Where are you going?”\n“Somewhere else where the rumors won’t disrupt class. And it was Fort Sumter.” With that, she walked out of the class.\n“Would ANYONE care to EXPLAIN this?!” DeMartino shouted, his usual frustration giving way to true anger.\n“Some idiot started a rumor about Daria and me,” Jane said, “And most of the other idiots here believed it.” As the bulk of the class looked somewhat abashed, she packed her history book and walked out of the class.\n\nDuring lunch, Quinn sat opposite Sandi at their usual table, listening with contempt as Sandi started to spew out yet another rumor about her sister.\n[i:3jhvmlex]Don’t react[/i:3jhvmlex], she thought. [i:3jhvmlex]If you don’t think, you’ll just make it worse[/i:3jhvmlex].\n“Sandi, I’m not so sure about this rumor you started.”\nSandi looked at Quinn with contempt. “Of course not, Quinn. No one blames you for wanting to protect your sister, no matter how unpopular she may be. I mean, it’s not your fault that she’s a dyke, is it?”\n“Sandi, don’t call her that,” Quinn said in a tone that chilled Sandi’s blood. “And besides, rumor spreading is [i:3jhvmlex]so[/i:3jhvmlex] beneath what the Fashion Club stands for, isn’t it?”\nSandi glared daggers at Quinn. “Quinn, I think you need to take a fashion sabbatical until you rethink your priorities.”\n“As Vice-President of the Fashion Club, I move that we expel Sandi Griffin on the grounds that she has besmirched the Club’s good name by rumor-spreading and dragging 2 innocent girls names through the mud.”\n“You can’t do that! You’re on sabbatical!” Sandi yelled.\n“Not yet, I’m not. You threatened it, but never actually put me on sabbatical,” Quinn said, then turned to Stacy and Tiffany. “Does anyone second the motion?”\n“Of course they don’t!” Sandi yelled as Tiffany raised her hand.\n“I second,” she said slowly, giving Sandi her best attempt at a glare.\n“All those in favor of expelling Sandi?” Three hands shot up with no hesitation.\n“All opposed?” Sandi raised her hand slowly, feeling as if the world had just been ripped out from under her feet.\n“Sandi Griffin, you are hereby expelled from the Fashion Club. Hand in your scrunchie, please,” Quinn said with a sadistic grin on her face.\nAs Sandi slowly pulled her scrunchie from her purse, the intercom crackled to life.\n[i:3jhvmlex]“Sandi Griffin, report to Ms. Li’s office immediately.”[/i:3jhvmlex]\n\nSandi sat on the curb, waiting for her mother to come. She had been suspended for the rumors she had started, and was not looking forward to her mother’s lecture. [i:3jhvmlex]She’ll never let me forget that I screwed up[/i:3jhvmlex], Sandi thought, staring into the distance. [i:3jhvmlex]I’ll just be another failure to her after this[/i:3jhvmlex].\nHearing footsteps come up behind her, she turned and saw Quinn approaching. She stood and said, “What do you want?”\n“Sandi, I don’t want to be enemies with you,” Quinn said, sympathy in her voice. “Honestly, I don’t. I’ll talk to Stacy about letting you back into the club, if you want.”\n“Stacy?”\n“We elected her president, and she already has some changes she wants to make to the club. It’ll be better than before.”\nSandi took a deep breath. [i:3jhvmlex]This is my ticket back[/i:3jhvmlex], she thought to herself. “Sure, Quinn. If you guy’s will have me back, then, like, ok.”\n“Another thing, Sandi.” Quinn paused to make sure that Sandi was paying attention. “You ever do anything against my sister again, and I’ll make sure you amount to nothing in this school. Do you understand me?” Sandi stared at her, mouth open. “Do you understand me?”\n“Yes, Quinn. I understand.”\n“Good. I’ll see you later.” Quinn walked off, whistling the latest Boyz R Guyz single.\nSandi sat on the curb, thinking about what to do now.\nSuddenly, her hair was pulled back hard and she felt a sharp piece of metal against her throat. Black hair and sapphire eyes filled her view.\n“If you ever do anything like this to Daria again, I’ll fucking kill you. Understand?” a harsh whisper asked her.\nAfraid to nod, Sandi grunted out, “Uh-huh.” The knife was removed, and the person ran off. By the time Sandi looked behind her, whoever it was had vanished.','196c83e6091bdb0779865cc666aa0e1a',0,'YA==','3jhvmlex',1,1305862962,'',1151,1,0),(464083,31723,6,885,0,'174.125.56.179',1298953379,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: World\'s Shortest Crossover','Hah!

Handing one of the bags over to Jane, Daria closed the door and started walking towards Jane\'s car.  Daria carefully slid the long case across the backseat, then took the duffel bag from Jane and placed it on the floorboard.\n\n&quot;Can we park near the sports complex?  I don\'t want to have to walk a country mile with this gear after class,&quot; Daria said with a slight shake in her voice.\n\n&quot;Sure thing - are you okay?&quot;  Jane asked, her face etched in concern.\n\n&quot;I\'m a little nervous about this afternoon.  I haven\'t really practiced since May.  Lawndale State is a Division I A school, while Kilgore was just a NJCAA school - the competition level is bound to be higher.&quot;\n\n&quot;Relax, Daria - just remember - it\'s all mental.  I listened to you on Monday as you explained what was going on - you even knew which one of the duelist would win before the match was far from over.  You\'ll do fine because you\'ll have a mental edge, so don\'t worry about it.&quot;\n\n&quot;Thanks for the pep talk Knute Lane - the next thing you\'ll be telling me is that The Gipper\'s ghost will come back and haunt me if I don\'t make the team.&quot;\n\n&quot;Better him than Tommy Sherman,&quot;  Jane laughed as she saw the confused look on Daria\'s face.  &quot;Sorry, he was the quarterback at Lawndale High when Trent went there.  He was killed there my sophmore year when the goalpost they were naming in his honor fell on him.  After that happened, several members of the cheerleading squad tried to say that his ghost was haunting the girl\'s bathroom.  I wouldn\'t doubt it either - the day he was killed, he had hit on every female student in the school.&quot;\n\n&quot;Okay - The Gipper it is then,&quot;  Daria said as they parked.  &quot;See you in history.&quot;\n\nAfter their last class, Daria and Jane walked back to Jane\'s car.  Daria swapped her book bag out for her duffel bag and grabbed the long case out of the back seat.  Sitting the case on the hood, Daria opened it to show Jane.  Jane stared at the yard long weapons resting in their protective barrier.\n\n&quot;What kind of swords are these?&quot;\n\n&quot;The top one\'s a foil, the middle one is a sabre and the bottom one is my favorite - an epee.  In epee matches, you score points by hitting your opponent anywhere on the body with the tip of the sword,&quot; Daria said as she closed the case.\n\nJane nodded.  When they arrived at the sports complex, they were surprised to see Andrea, Quinn and Stacy waiting there.\n\n&quot;I was beginning to wonder if you were going to back out,&quot;  Quinn said.\n\n&quot;No - I needed to get my equiptment from Jane\'s car.  I thought you had to work today?&quot;   Daria turned to Andrea.\n\n&quot;When Jane told me you were trying out this afternoon, I switched schedules with one of the other managers.&quot;\n\n&quot;Thanks. Let me go talk to Coach Collins - wish me luck.&quot;  Daria smiled as she walked towards the coach.\n\nMoments later, the group watched as Coach Collins shook Daria\'s hand and pointed her in the direction of the changing area.  Several minutes later, Daria returned in her white uniform, carrying her helmet and her epee.  With her hair in a ponytail and her glasses off, Jane almost didn\'t recognize her. Quinn leaned over at her sister\'s friend.  Jane reached for her camera and quickly snapped a shot.\n\n&quot;She only wears contacts when she is fencing.  I don\'t understand why she doesn\'t wear them any other time.&quot; \n\nAfter a couple of practice matches finished, Coach Collins pointed to Daria.  She moved over to the dueling area where Coach Adams began to feed a wire from the tip of the sword, through the jacket sleeve and down the back of the jacket.  The wire was then attached to a tiny black box with two colored lights on top.  Andrea, Jane, and Stacy watched this with wonder.\n\n&quot;That\'s called a body cord - that\'s how keep scoring. When she first started, she told me that it really irritated the hell out of her, by the end of the season, though, she didn\'t even notice it was there. I hope that it doesn\'t start bothering her again,&quot;  Quinn whispered.\n\nA few moments later, a bell chimed signaling the beginning of the match.  Daria\'s opponent decided to go on the offensive, which worked to Daria\'s advantage.  As she dodged the approaching attack, she got a quick point for an under-the attack arm point.  Her friends and sister watched as she and her opponent went at it.  Andrea and Jane winced when Daria was struck in the chest.  \n\n&quot;She\'s wearing a chest protector and her outfit is made of cotton and Kevlar, but she\'ll still be mad at herself for getting hit there,&quot;  Quinn whispered.\n\nThree minutes later, the bell chimed for a second time signaling the end of the match.  Daria outscored her opponent 4-2.  The coach then had her face a second opponent.  By the end of the try-out, Daria faced four opponents and ended up 2-1-1.  Coach Adams unplugged the body cord and started to pull it out of the jacket and off the sword. As Daria pulled off her helmet, the three coaches began talking back and forth.  Daria shook at her friends, who were giving her a golf clap. Then, she saw Coach Collins heading towards her.\n\n&quot;We meet for practice on Mondays and Wednesdays.  Tournaments are usually on Saturdays.  Most of our competitions are just a few hours away, but there are two - not including championships where we will have to leave on Friday.  Do you have a job?&quot;  Daria nodded as she was handed a packet.  &quot;Here is a list of dates, you\'ll have to give your boss.  As of right now, I\'ll use you for an alternate, but as you improve- you\'ll be put into the rotation.  Congratulations - Miss Morgendoffer.  Welcome to the Fencing Team at Lawndale State.&quot; \n\nDaria thanked the coach and headed back to shower and change.  Fifteen minutes later, she was met in the hall by Quinn and the others.  \n\n&quot;So, are we going out for a celebratory pizza or a better luck next year pizza?&quot;  Jane asked.\n\nA slight smile came over Daria\'s face.  &quot;Celebratory.&quot;','f60db312f1c42f0191fe037919564344',0,'QA==','2tx1mld1',1,0,'',0,0,0),(464187,31900,6,276,0,'198.180.240.201',1299007857,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Rewarding the classics','[quote=&quot;MJPollard&quot;:3dpfbxj9][quote=&quot;Quiverwing&quot;:3dpfbxj9][quote=&quot;Liz Ruiz&quot;:3dpfbxj9]My favorite Nemo Blank is probably &quot;Retrograde Girl&quot;, but he is definitely one of my top five all time authors.

Each of them is concerned with the differences in moral judgments across different people and cultures:\nDescriptive relativism describes the way things are, without suggesting a way they ought to be. It seeks only to point out that people frequently disagree over what is the most \'moral\' course of action. \nMeta-ethical relativism is the meta-ethical position that the truth or falsity of moral judgments is not objective. Justifications for moral judgments are not universal, but are instead relative to the traditions, convictions, or practices of an individual or a group of people. The meta-ethical relativist might say &quot;It\'s moral to me, because I believe it is&quot;. \nNormative relativism is the prescriptive or normative position that, because there is no universal moral standard by which to judge others, we ought to tolerate the behavior of others - even when it runs counter to our personal or cultural moral standards. Most philosophers find that this position is incoherent, or at least that it is unclear how meta-ethical relativism can lead to \'ought\' statements.[/quote:323hibqr]I accept descriptive relativism, I reject normative relativism, and I suspend judgement on meta-ethical relativism.\n\nWhich were you talking about?','34f241707c268b76b7f7fdc114d89a35',0,'gA==','323hibqr',1,0,'',0,0,0),(464240,31972,6,1172,0,'95.119.14.233',1299023819,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: A LoLH Mini: Da Boss-King of Impze (Part Two)','YES!!!

He was trying to scream but no sound came out of his mouth. He was alone, engulfed by thick darkness that lay around him like a warm blanket. Sometimes he heard something, a voice or some other noise, coming from the void around him, but then they stopped and again there was silence. Sometimes he saw single images of strange surroundings and even stranger beings, like he was shown pictures from a crazy dream that wasn\'t his own.\n\nHe heard someone screaming and for a second he thought he recognized the voice, but then he sank back into merciful darkness. He had no idea how much time had gone by, it could have been a few seconds or a few years, he had lost any feeling for time, direction or purpose. It was for him like he was nowhere and yet somewhere he just wasn\'t able to grasp with his mind, like somewhere between a dream and being awake.\n\nThe image of a powerful looking, snakelike being popped into his mind - eyeless and covered in scales that had the form of screaming faces - before it vanished again and he forgot it again. It was always like that, he would forget what had happened, what he had seen or heard, even when he tried to remember, but a second after that there was nothing and he did not even remember to remember something.\n\n[i:2ykfpvxb]Am I dreaming?[/i:2ykfpvxb] he asked himself in a moment of at least a bit of clarity. [i:2ykfpvxb]Where am I?[/i:2ykfpvxb]\n\nHe tried to blink but his eyelids did not respond; then he noticed that he had no eyelids at all. He had no head, no torso, nothing; it was just his mind that was there, in a state of dizziness, confusion and dreaming.\n\n[i:2ykfpvxb]What is going on?[/i:2ykfpvxb]\n\nPerhaps he should panic, that seemed to be the logical reaction to have, but he did not felt like panicking. To be fair he felt rather relaxed, like everything was alright. Nearly as good as smoking the best joint rolled by God himself while the Virgin Mary was giving him a blowjob. But just nearly.\n\nAnother image popped into his head, this time an ocean of green, wild fire that was engulfing everything. Then it was gone again and all he remembered was the feeling that something was just right and everything would be good.\n\nHe did not feel the urge to come back into his body. Why not? He had no idea, but he got the impression that it was good where he was. Here he had nothing to concern himself about, no parents, no school, no bullies, no problems at all. Everything was just fine in this place.\n\nBut all good things must come to an end and so did this. He felt like his mind was forced away from sweet nothingness, how the darkness became brighter by the second and how everything began to become clearer for him. That’s when he heard a hissing noise, whispering into his ear. He had no idea why, but the image of a walking stick with a skull on top popped into his mind, the eye sockets of said skull glowing green.\n\n–\n\nOpening one eye Shaggy returned to the living world... and immediately he wished he had not. The light was too bright and hurt his eyes, his head felt like something was drilling rusty nails in it, every breath he took was pure torture and his arms were as heavy as a subway car. In short, he felt like a piece of shit, just like his father had always called him.\n\nThen it hit him. He remembered what had happened, how his father had attacked him, his face a mask of rage and drunken frenzy, his eyes bloodshot, screaming bloody murder. The bat had hit him in the shoulder first and broke it, he lost his balance immediately and was helpless, while his father became just more enraged.\n\nAgain and again he had felt how the bat crushed down on him, breaking bones and sending unimaginable pain through his body. He had heard how his father had called him a thief and a worthless piece of trash, an thankless son of a whore and some other things he did not care to recall. His nose had been crushed, his rips had been cracked, his spine had been hurt, his legs broken. The last thing he remembered was the image of his thrice cursed asshole of a father standing over him, the baseball bat smeared with blood, taking a swig from another bottle of whiskey.\n\nHe took a few seconds to stare up to the white ceiling and moaned slightly in pain.\n\n“You \'kay boss?\n\nYeah yeah, boss boss.”\n\nIt hurt to smile but he did it anyway and moved his head slightly to the side. Out of his single open eye, the other one was swollen shut, he saw the two tiny imps sitting on the night table next to his bed. Instead of grinning like they normally did, they now seemed to be more serious, their faces dark.\n\nShaggy tried to say something, to greet them and say them that he was glad to see them, but every breath was hurting him and no sound left his mouth. It felt like his rips were drilling into his lungs, a sharp pain shooting through the right side of his body. \n\nThat was before he drifted back to sleep.\n\n–\n\nThe next time he woke up he was greeted by the sight of a doctor with a fake smile and fake pity, telling him about his injuries using big words he did not understand and not even once looking at him. He felt the urge to set him on fire and to watch him burning into cinder but he was unable to even summon a single small flame.\n\nBefore he could even ask a single question himself the doctor left the room, not once looking back. \n\n[i:2ykfpvxb]Pompous ass[/i:2ykfpvxb], thought Shaggy and ground his teeth in silent fury. Again he drifted off to sleep in a manner of seconds, not even hearing the two small imps who started to talk about the nurses they had watched in the changing room.\n\n–\n\n“Simon Holdt?”\n\nHe looked up from his lunch and heard his two minions fall silent under the bed so that they wouldn\'t be seen. Two police officers walked into his hospital room, one of them carrying a small note pad.\n\nShaggy just nodded, he didn\'t even tried to say anything anymore, he was too tired for another failure after trying unsuccessfully to communicate with the nurse and get her to bring him something tastier than this crap. Although his abilities were still there and he had been able to make her very helpful, he still had to say to her what he wanted. And that\'s rather hard when you\'re throat is crushed.\n\n“I\'m Officer Davis, this is Officer Alexson,” said the older one and stopped next to the bed. He had a receiving hairline and his face looked like a mix of Charlton Heston in his best days and the Grand Canyon. You better not imagine that. “We have a few questions for you.”\n\nThe younger Officer, holding the note pad, stopped on the end of the bed, looking like he was incredible bored with everything that was going on. But that didn\'t stop him from watching the passing nurse for a looooong time.\n\nA bit uncertain, Shaggy shifted in his bed and nodded again. Earlier the day he had already spoken with some officers about the incident that had brought him to the hospital. So what was up now?\n\n“Do you know these men?” He showed him two photos, one of a black man taken in prison and another one from another black man posing with two young women and holding a gun.\n\n[i:2ykfpvxb]Yeah, I know them[/i:2ykfpvxb], he thought with dread, realizing why the police was visiting him again. It wasn\'t about him, it was about the two criminals he was seeing on the photos in that moment, Tango and Red, the two biggest dealers in Lawndale.\n\nA lot of people had no idea what that means, thinking that Lawndale is such a small town or at least only a suburb; how much money could be in such a region? Most would be surprised to find out that the answer to that question was: A lot. It wasn\'t about the population and the few costumers there; it was about the fact that the drug had to be delivered to somewhere else. Coming out of Afghanistan or Columbia the drugs were delivered to New York City, the perhaps biggest reloading point on the whole east coast.\n\nAnd from there it had to be delivered into the other parts of the eastern United States. The most used route for drug trade on the road was running directly through Lawndale, the subcentral for it. And the two young men Tango and Red, cousins from Miami, were the people you had to go to if you wanted to deliver drugs through there.\n\nHe would have swallowed a lump in his throat if he could, but instead he just shook his head, hoping that the two officers wouldn\'t notice how uneasy he felt. In the same moment he began to project the image of himself being totally innocent into the minds of the two men, at least he tried to.\n\n“You don\'t?” asked Officer Davis, clearly not convinced. “And how does it come that you were seen in the VIP-Lounge of their club? Drinking with them?”\n\n[i:2ykfpvxb]DAMMIT!!![/i:2ykfpvxb] Trying to look self-secure Shaggy leaned back in his bed and rolled his eyes, all the time trying to project the image of himself being a victim into their heads.\n\n“Well?”\n\nHe shrugged.\n\nDavis smiled a way too friendly smile while his young colleague was writing away on his note pad, not saying a word, not even looking up. “Okay, let\'s say you were just young and stupid and not really knowing what you were doing, okay?”\n\nFighting down the rage in his belly the teenager only glared at him, but again he nodded, knowing that this was way better than everything else you could assume of what had happened. But the tone of this asshole was pissing him off, rubbing him in the wrong ways. [i:2ykfpvxb]Who does he think he is? Just because he wears a uniform he can act like Kojak or what? I\'ll show you.[/i:2ykfpvxb]\n\n“Good,” the police officer said, still smiling. “Then why is that we found three hundred Pills of Stickshift in your bedroom, hidden in one of your bed posts, together with six pounds of marihuana? Good secret spot by the way.”\n\nHe blanched and imagined that he could hear Spoon making a sound that sounded suspiciously like “uh-oh”. [i:2ykfpvxb]I\'m in real trouble now.[/i:2ykfpvxb]\n\nOfficer Davis leaned a bit forward, smiling like a predator would do it. “You will go to prison as soon as you\'re out of the hospital. Sitting in a wheelchair and spending the next ten years of your life in a tiny cell together with murderers and rapist. And I\'m sure you know what they do with young man, especially with longer hair. Something to hold onto while...”\n\nHe did not end the sentence, just straightening again. “Ten or perhaps twenty of them, that would have been a small thing, but three hundred? That makes you a dealer and nothing you say to the judge will convince anyone otherwise.”\n\nShaggy would have snarled and gnashed with his teeth, but his jaw wasn\'t moving.\n\n“Think about it, perhaps then you would like to talk to us again.” The two officers left, leaving behind a sweating and inwardly cursing teenager.\n\nAs soon as the door closed his two minions popped out from under the bed and jumped up to him. “Boss Boss!”\n\n“Yeah, ackackackack, problem boss, ackackackackackack!”\n\n[i:2ykfpvxb]You don\'t say?[/i:2ykfpvxb] he thought. It is very astonishing how much sarcasm and annoyance you can put in just one glare, as the two Imps found out. Motioning with his hand as good as he could he tried to mimic to write something down, hoping that the two small idiots would understand.\n\n“Boss Boss play gamez gamez, ackackackackackack!”\n\n“Tetetetetetetetetete, play play, tetetetetetetetete!”\n\nShaggy felt the urge to slap his hand against his forehead and sighed deeply.\n\n“A dog, tetetetetetete! Izzit dog Boss, tetetetetete?”\n\nAn angry flame bursting from the hand of his so-called Boss answered his question and he jumped back. This however let him slip down the bed and he fell to the ground with a loud “THUMP!!”.\n\n“Ackackackackackackackackack, Spoon stuuuupit, akackackackackackack!”\n\n“Me not stupit, you stupit! Tetetetete!” Weapon, a spoon of course, held high over his head the hairless Imp teleported himself back onto the bed and charged his companion, attacking him with wild thrusts.\n\nUnable to do anything about it Shaggy just sighed and felt the frustration grew in him. \n\n–\n\nThree hours later, three hours filled with frustrating fruitless attempts to get the two Imps giving him something to write, he felt like he was a prisoner in his own body. He was unable to walk, both his legs were broken and his hip was fractured, as well as his spine. His arms were broken, his left hand crushed, his throat nearly destroyed, several of his rips broken or at least fractured. And his head was feeling like someone had drilled a hole into it.\n\n[i:2ykfpvxb]I will be living in a hospital bed for the rest of my life[/i:2ykfpvxb], he thought bitterly while taking a drag from his cigarette. At least his two minions, now sitting on his desk playing cards and drinking shots of paint-thinner, had asked him if he wanted a smoke. [i:2ykfpvxb]With only two moronic Impze, um, Imps as company. I will go insane and design a terrible horror trap system in the hospital, killing all patients and nurses, being a psycho killer for the rest of my life. Until I got killed myself by some dumb college girl in tight jeans after I killed off all her friends. The sluts and Afro-Americans first. Have to follow traditions.[/i:2ykfpvxb]\n\nHe snorted when he pictured himself with a hockey mask on his face and a red and black striped pullover. [i:2ykfpvxb]Yeah, right.[/i:2ykfpvxb]\n\nA knock on the door interrupted his musing and just a second later the door was opened, leaving just enough time for the two small imps to teleport away. A wheelchair was rolled into his room, shoved by a nurse in her early thirties who was raising an eyebrow and looked clearly distressed about the smoke.\n\nShaggy tried to look as innocent as he could, but that\'s very hard when you have a cigarette in the corner of your mouth.\n\n“Ready for a small walk?” she asked him, trying to sound nice nonetheless.\n\nHe just nodded, more than happy to see something else than boring white walls.\n\n–\n\nWhile the fresh air was nice and the small breeze was a nice change to the now smoky hospital room, it was also veeeeeeeeery boring out there. At least in his room he had the company of two funny little buggers; here he had to listen to the chatty voice of the nurse, chewing off one of his ears with her constant chatting and talking.\n\nAlthough the hospital park was nice and there were some good-looking women to look at, it was still only a park. And he wasn\'t much of an outside person, he was more the type of young man who would spend his time inside a smoky room with some music, a TV and an X-Box.\n\n“... said my mother and I love her, I really do, but when she is like that I could kill her, you know, her constant nagging about finding a good man and settling down and...”\n\n[i:2ykfpvxb]Oh, just shut up, bitch[/i:2ykfpvxb], he thought and tried to block her voice out, to no avail.\n\n“... he was nice and a gentleman but he had no real sense of fashion, he was looking like a...”\n\nHe let his head sink and sighed. Then he saw something in the corner of his right eye.\n\n“... and then he said to me that I should...”\n\nSuddenly she fell silent as he motioned to something on the right, to be precise to the single door that was there. Right in a big tree, like it was supposed to be there. It was a nice door made out of wood and glass, with a sign on it which said [i:2ykfpvxb]Open[/i:2ykfpvxb]. Just like the door to the shop of the man with the walking stick.\n\n“Oh, you want to meet him?” she asked with a feral grin and if he could, he would have whirled around and looked at her with wide eyes. “Sure.”\n\nHolding open the door for him she shoved the wheelchair through it, entering the shop he had seen before. Just like last time it was crammed with different utensils, ranging from old-fashioned clothes from every time period known to mankind and some more to modern art, old and new weapons and big piles of books. Somewhere he could see an old fashioned globe right next to an old world-map not showing America. And it was still way bigger than he would have imagined from the outside.\n\n“A my young friend, how nice of you to visit me again.” The voice was still as he remembered it, the voice that had haunted his dreams since he woke up in the drunk tank. It was as off as his smile was, predatory and dangerous.\n\nShaggy saw the shop owner, still clad in old fashioned clothing with round sunglasses on his nose hiding his eyes, walking stick in hand. In the corner of his eye it looked like the skull on top of it was moving, but when he looked it was just a piece of unmoving metal.\n\n“I presume you\'re here because you want something from me, don\'t you?” The man slithered forward, as if the room around him was shrinking and moving him in front of Shaggy. One moment he was over there, the next he was standing in front of the wheelchair.\n \n[i:2ykfpvxb]Yes, why else would I be here?[/i:2ykfpvxb], he asked in his thoughts, still frustrated that he wasn\'t able to speak.\n\n“No need to be so rude, my dear mister Holdt.”\n\n[i:2ykfpvxb]Oh... should have expected that. Sorry.[/i:2ykfpvxb]\n\n“Don\'t worry, happens all the time. Like a once famous German composer said: “The thoughts are free”.” He was now standing behind the counter, leaning on his walking stick and grinning like a hyena, only more dangerous.\n\nSimon had no idea why he was now right in front of the counter or where the nurse had gone to but he also did not really care. [i:2ykfpvxb]Funny how some things broaden the horizon. Like the presence of two magical beings.[/i:2ykfpvxb]\n\n“Technically speaking they are not magical, they are something else,” said the Man with the walking stick smugly and smiled at his costumer. “But I don\'t think that you\'re here because you want to learn more about Imps and the Nether-Realm, do you?”\n\nHe would have smirked if he could but his chin was hurting with every movement and so he just answered via thinking. [i:2ykfpvxb]Wouldn\'t hurt but you\'re right, I\'m not.[/i:2ykfpvxb]\n\nThe shop owner chuckled. By now he was sitting in a comfortable wingback chair that looked like it came right out of Buckingham Palace, Shaggy in front of him in an armchair from the 17th century. “So, then tell me my young friend: What do you want?”\n\n[i:2ykfpvxb]I already gave you the answer to that. Power.[/i:2ykfpvxb]\n\n“Yes you did. And I gave you what you wanted. So what do you want now from me?”\n\n[i:2ykfpvxb]You gave me tricks and a piece of power, nothing real.[/i:2ykfpvxb] Shaggy, by now sitting on a bench like they were build into changing rooms, shot him an evil glare. [i:2ykfpvxb]I said I wanted power, not parlor tricks.[/i:2ykfpvxb]\n\n“Well, what do you expect when you give me nothing in return?” he answered and leaned his arms on the altar he was standing behind. It looked like it was built a thousand years ago by some drug crazed Aztec sculptor and was used for sacrificing captured warriors by ripping out their still beating hearts. “I\'m a business men, not a charity.”\n\n[i:2ykfpvxb]So what do you want? My soul?[/i:2ykfpvxb]\n\nNow the smile became a grin and he began to chuckle. “Your soul? Now what would I do with something like that? Do I look like the Devil to you?”\n\n[i:2ykfpvxb]You could be for all I know[/i:2ykfpvxb], Shaggy answered as sarcastic as he could.\n\n“I assure you, I am not.” The Man with the walking stick kept smiling and stood up from his bar chair. “No, I am neither THE Devil nor a devil nor a demon or something similar.”\n\n[i:2ykfpvxb]Then what are you?[/i:2ykfpvxb], asked the younger man and tried to glare as best as he could. But to his dismay it wasn\'t really impressive, at least if you measure it on the reaction from the shop owner.\n\n“Don\'t bother yourself with that,” he brushed the question off, whirling around his walking stick in a playful manner. “What you should bother yourself with is the question, what you would give me for real power.”\n\n[i:2ykfpvxb]We talking about money?[/i:2ykfpvxb]\n\n“Well, how much do you have?”\n\nShaggy snorted again. [i:2ykfpvxb]Six thousand dollars.[/i:2ykfpvxb]\n\n“A start. Not enough for a real power boost, Superman would still only laugh about you, but a start.”\n\n[i:2ykfpvxb]What about an original 1969 Ford Gran Torino Sports?[/i:2ykfpvxb]\n\n“Now we\'re talking business.”\n\nIt pained him to give away the car he had dreamed about driving himself, but it was worth it. [i:2ykfpvxb]So, what do I get for said car plus 6000 dollar?[/i:2ykfpvxb]\n\nAgain the shop owner chuckled. “How does real mastery of Nether-Fire plus ruling the Nether-Realm sound?”\n\n[i:2ykfpvxb]Deal.[/i:2ykfpvxb]\n\n“Deal.”\n\nThen everything erupted into flames and the last thing Shaggy saw were the eyes of the skull shaped walking stick, glowing in an unholy light. He would have screamed if he could.\n\n–\n\nConsciousness was slow to return to him. But he felt good, his head was clear and there was no pain in his body, not from old bruises, neither from fresh injuries. His eyes needed a moment to adjust to the darkness around him, before he could see clearly.\n\nHe was in some sort of cathedral, a run down place that once could have been standing in Italy in the golden time of the church, but was now run down and covered in graffiti and smearings. And there was green and black fire everywhere, burning in the cracks on the ground, lighting the altar, sometimes even just burning right in the air.\n\nHe sat up in the bed he was laying in; a king sized one covered in silk and velvet, a mountain of different cushions around him. The air was warm and dry but he liked it, the stench of smoke and the sweet smell of weed and other herbs hanging heavy in it.\n\n“Boss wake Boss wake, ackackackackack!”\n\n“Wake wake, tetetetetetetetetete!”\n\nA big smile crept on his face as he heard these voices. Spoon and Fluffy were sitting next to him on a big pillow, an empty bottle of Vodka between them. Next to them was another Imp, this one bigger and covered in red fur from head to toe, wrestling with a blue-scaled one over a pack of cigarettes. They were everywhere.\n\nImps, all around him, fighting, wrestling, giggling, dancing, wrecking havoc and making a ruckus. Some were nearly half a big as Shaggy himself, others as small as his thump. Red, black, green, brown, slimy, pale, covered in fur or scales or just skin, some wearing lumps and other totally naked, one or two he could see didn\'t even had legs but had a snakelike body while others had three or four or up to thirteen legs.\n\n“Whewhewhewhewhewhewhe!”\n\n“Tltltltltltltltltltltltltltlaaaaaaaaa!”\n\n“Kukukukukukukukuku!”\n\nShaggy chuckled and stood up, grinning from big ear to big ear. He was naked except for his sunglasses, which were resting on his nose and hold by his now big, gremlin like ears, but he wasn\'t bothered by that.\n\n“Oh, dis is gonna be great! Kakakakakakakakakakakaka!”\n\n“Boss Boss stronger, tetetetetetetetetete!”\n\n“Boss not jus\' Boss more, hathathathathathathathathat!”\n\n“Boss Boss-King, ackackackackackackack!”\n\nBefore he knew what was happening, a chorus of thousands of cracking, squeaking voices erupted in the wrecked cathedral. “BOSS-KING! BOSS-KING! BOSS-KING!!”\n\n“Kakakakakakakaka,” he laughed out loud and grinned manically. “I\'m da Boss-King of all da Impza da iz cutz I\'m da biggast one da iz!! KAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKA!!”\n\n–\n\n[b:2ykfpvxb]Aftermath[/b:2ykfpvxb]\n\n–\n\nIt was dark in the shop of the man with the walking stick, only a few candles lighting the room, leaving most of the inlays in shadows and darkness. There were no windows to leave any light in, no door, not even any walls; it seemed to be an endless place of darkness filled with furniture and different assortments of crap.\n\nSitting in an old, rundown armchair was the shop owner, a thick book in his hands, his walking stick leaning against the side of his armchair. He was humming an old melody and moving his left foot slightly with the tune, while he turned a page.\n\nAt least before he abruptly looked up and then sighed. “We\'re closed, you know?”\n\nOut of the darkness behind him stepped another figure. While he at least looked like a human, this being was something else. Instead of a human head he had the head of a proud and powerful hound, sitting on top of a well-muscled body clad in archaic, golden armor, his body covered in white, silky fur. Not to forget the great, snow white wings on his back and the softly glowing sword on his side. And he was bigger than any human could ever hope to be, eight feet at least, towering over even the best NBA-Pros.\n\nHis voice was booming and seemed to come from all over the room, not from himself, echoing back from the not existing walls. And it was a language not spoken for more than a thousand years, the language of the old Babylonian realm. [b:2ykfpvxb][i:2ykfpvxb][u:2ykfpvxb]You have broken the rules.[/u:2ykfpvxb][/i:2ykfpvxb][/b:2ykfpvxb]\n\nThe human looking one turned around, together with the whole chair and seemingly the whole room around him, and chuckled slightly. “Hahahahahaha... No I haven\'t, brother. I assure you, neither have I harmed any being nor have I broken any laws from your employer.”\n\n[b:2ykfpvxb][i:2ykfpvxb][u:2ykfpvxb]I\'m not your brother.[/u:2ykfpvxb][/i:2ykfpvxb][/b:2ykfpvxb] Although the voice didn\'t changed in the least he sounded enraged. He was now speaking in Sumerian.\n\n“You sure of that?” the shop owner said smiling. “I clearly remember that once we were calling each other brothers, fighting demons and the forces of evil side by side under the banner of our father.”\n\n[b:2ykfpvxb][i:2ykfpvxb][u:2ykfpvxb]You cast that away the moment you became like them.[/u:2ykfpvxb][/i:2ykfpvxb][/b:2ykfpvxb]\n\n“No, what you\'re talking about are the devils, followers of old Lucy, bringer of light, first among brothers, yada yada yada.” If he was intimidated by the presence of a clearly holy being, he didn\'t show it. “I\'m not like them. Not in the least.”\n\n[b:2ykfpvxb][i:2ykfpvxb][u:2ykfpvxb]You create monsters and play with powers that are not yours.[/u:2ykfpvxb][/i:2ykfpvxb][/b:2ykfpvxb] By now he had switched to the language of Pharaohs of old Egypt.\n\n“I don\'t create monsters, not in the least.” His smile grew into something clearly inhuman, showing rows of dangerous, sharp teeth and for a moment he looked like a cross between a human and a shark. “I\'m a business man. Neither have I played with any power not my own, nor have corrupted anyone my dear brother.”\n\nThe being across from him shot him an evil glare before he thundered in the old Inka language: [b:2ykfpvxb][i:2ykfpvxb][u:2ykfpvxb]I\'m not your brother. You gave unprepared humans powers they could not even begin to grasp, knowing all too well what would happen.[/u:2ykfpvxb][/i:2ykfpvxb][/b:2ykfpvxb]\n\n“I had a suspicion, yes, no point in denying that. But weren\'t you the one who once told me that I should believe in the good of man? Although they destroyed the paradise? Although they opened the gates for the demons? Although they did not listen?”\n\n[b:2ykfpvxb][i:2ykfpvxb][u:2ykfpvxb]They are young, there is still much to learn for them.[/u:2ykfpvxb][/i:2ykfpvxb][/b:2ykfpvxb]\n\n“You\'re certainly right in that regard my brother, I agree. And because of that I give them the opportunity to learn. What better way to learn than to throw them into cold water and see if the swim or sink, as the humans would say?”\n\n[b:2ykfpvxb][i:2ykfpvxb][u:2ykfpvxb]You lie and deceive, you seduce humans and create evil in the world of man. You were already cast out from heaven and even from the realm of mortals; even Lucifer wasn\'t willing to take you in. Have you learned nothing?[/u:2ykfpvxb][/i:2ykfpvxb][/b:2ykfpvxb] In his rage he had began to use a language not meant for mortal beings or even the material plane. All around him the furniture was shaking with every word, glass was shattering and books caught on fire, the whole dimension seemed to be ripped apart.\n\n“Of course I did,” the shop owner answered grinning; now looking like a wolf who was about to eat the lamb. “I read the rules, over and over, for two millions years I did nothing else than that. And I know very well what I\'m allowed to do and what not. I broke no rules, I wasn\'t playing with evil, I wasn\'t seducing mortals to do anything.”\n\n[b:2ykfpvxb][i:2ykfpvxb][u:2ykfpvxb]You gave the grimoire of witches to mere girls.[/u:2ykfpvxb][/i:2ykfpvxb][/b:2ykfpvxb] An antique couch began to smoke and broke right in the middle while a vase was shattered into thousands of pieces.\n\n“Filled with potions to heal, love spells and ways to predict the future.”\n\n[b:2ykfpvxb][i:2ykfpvxb][u:2ykfpvxb]And ways to cast curses and summon demons.[/u:2ykfpvxb][/i:2ykfpvxb][/b:2ykfpvxb]\n\n“Well, I didn\'t tell them that they should do that, did I?”\n\n[b:2ykfpvxb][i:2ykfpvxb][u:2ykfpvxb]You gave a boy power he was ill prepared for.[/u:2ykfpvxb][/i:2ykfpvxb][/b:2ykfpvxb] By now the book in the hand of the man was on fire but he wasn\'t bothered by that.\n\n“I gave him the power to protect himself.”\n\n[b:2ykfpvxb][i:2ykfpvxb][u:2ykfpvxb]Evil power not meant for humans.[/u:2ykfpvxb][/i:2ykfpvxb][/b:2ykfpvxb]\n\n“No, chaotic, that is a difference, you know?”\n\n[b:2ykfpvxb][i:2ykfpvxb][u:2ykfpvxb]You gave something that wasn\'t meant for men to a mortal boy, you broke the rules.[/u:2ykfpvxb][/i:2ykfpvxb][/b:2ykfpvxb]\n\n“No, he isn\'t a mortal anymore. When I opened a link to the Nether-Realm inside of him he was changed, he isn\'t a human anymore. And by the way, technically speaking I gave him nothing, I just opened a small door, so to say.”\n\nFor a moment there was silence, before the Archon growled. It was a dangerous, low sound that let the whole room shake stronger than before. [b:2ykfpvxb][i:2ykfpvxb][u:2ykfpvxb]You think like a devil already.[/u:2ykfpvxb][/i:2ykfpvxb][/b:2ykfpvxb]\n\n“Anyone would after 99 million years in this prison. So, is there anything more I can do for you, my dear Raphael? Tea, coffee, something?”\n\nInstead of answering the Archon just vanished, leaving behind a smirking shop owner. “Sore loser.”\n\n–\n\n[i:2ykfpvxb]Back then I would have never believed that I would reach these height. I was a fool, a simpleton, a small thinking idiot who was happy with a good joint and lying in bed, a small pause from my bullies and my parents would have been a nice extra. Now I have a king sized bed, an army of servants, every girl I want to have and can take as many drugs as I like. Kakakakakakakakakakaka!\n\nI have a throne now, a fucking throne, where I can sit and get a blowjob from a supermodel if I want to! Kakakakakaka!\n\nAnd best thing about all that is: I\'m free!![/i:2ykfpvxb]\n\n–\n\n[b:2ykfpvxb]One day after Simon Holdt vanished without a trace from the hospital[/b:2ykfpvxb]\n\nTerrance Holdt\'s lifeless body was found in his cell, his body covered in six hundred and sixty seven cuts. The coroner identified an overdose of heroin as the cause of death. There was neither an injection needle in his cell nor any traces of heroin.\n\n[b:2ykfpvxb]Two days after Simon Holdt vanished without a trace from the hospital[/b:2ykfpvxb]\n\nThe football team of Polk High found themselves victims of a series of pranks and outright vandalism. Their locker room was sprayed with rude graffiti, several of their cars were sabotaged or demolished, their bus to drive them to their next game was totally covered in toilet paper. Several high-definition photos of a secretly gay player making out with his boyfriend were covered in large by every tabloid in town.\n\n[b:2ykfpvxb]Four days after Simon Holdt vanished without a trace from the hospital[/b:2ykfpvxb]\n\nSiobhan Grant, a student from Lawndale High going to Carter County High for the time being and successful track star, was found missing. Left in her bed were three sacks with gold, the metal having the exact weight of Siobhan Grant, and a piece of paper, written on it the words: [i:2ykfpvxb]Dat enaff for da cunt?[/i:2ykfpvxb]\n\n[b:2ykfpvxb]Seven days after Simon Holdt vanished without a trace from the hospital[/b:2ykfpvxb]\n\nKevin Thompson found a custom made Harley Davidson Fat Boy covered in wrapping paper in his front yard, his name written on it.

She saw Cindy – a top that colour was really visible – and cut through the crowds to intercept her at the school grounds. Cindy looked startled at her approach, took a step backwards.\n\n“Ummmm… h-hi-“\n\n“Brittany Taylor asked me to take out Quinn [i:39g1t2ta]first[/i:39g1t2ta]. You were her [i:39g1t2ta]last[/i:39g1t2ta] resort. She is [i:39g1t2ta]never[/i:39g1t2ta] going to let you really be part of her gang, you are only a tool to her to be used and then discarded. And I bet you already knew that.”\n\nIf Daria had slapped her, she wouldn’t have been so distraught. \n\n“Are you okay, Cin?” It was some Goth that she didn’t really recognise, and there were some other students stopping too. “This bitch bothering you?” The group was getting bigger and looked hostile.\n\nDaria turned back to Cindy: “See that? You have friends. Brittany can’t offer you [i:39g1t2ta]crap[/i:39g1t2ta].”\n\nA girl Daria didn’t recognise was pushing her way between the two: “Whatever this is, that’s [i:39g1t2ta]enough[/i:39g1t2ta] Daria!”\n\nShe bit back her initial retort – that wasn’t why she was here – and walked on. Because Brittany was next. Brittany, standing with other cheerleaders near the car park…\n\n“Hey, Brittany!” she called out. “I [i:39g1t2ta]totally[/i:39g1t2ta] told Quinn [i:39g1t2ta]everything[/i:39g1t2ta] you were planning, and told Cindy you only chose her because I wasn’t there! Your plan is screwed! Your plan is [i:39g1t2ta]Annabel Chong![/i:39g1t2ta]”\n\nShe walked on before Brittany could reply. It wouldn’t stop the cheerleader from targeting Quinn again, that much was obvious, but it would stop [i:39g1t2ta]that[/i:39g1t2ta] plan. And it would mean Brittany would have it in for her. The other Daria would lose a patron and gain an enemy. Good.\n\nShe went [i:39g1t2ta]back[/i:39g1t2ta] into the school, right to DeMartino’s class, and pushed the door through. The teacher looked up, a grin on his face, recognising his ally.\n\n“You’re a bitter, pathetic bastard and it disgusts me that you spend your days trying to [i:39g1t2ta]wreck[/i:39g1t2ta] your pupil’s interests in learning just to make up for being [i:39g1t2ta]a damn failure.[/i:39g1t2ta]”\n\nHis grin became fixed; he expected a punchline. When he didn’t get one, it slowly melted into confusion.\n\n“I don’t UNDERstand.”\n\n“You couldn’t understand the real reason I hate you,” she said quietly. “But let’s just say I knew someone who was a bit like you, and it is [i:39g1t2ta]sickening[/i:39g1t2ta] to see you exist in his place.”\n\n“GET OUT.”\n\nShe got out.\n\n[i:39g1t2ta]Next, next, next… School. Need to get out of school. Get her thrown out of school. Hmmm.[/i:39g1t2ta]\n\nShe calmly turned round, went back into DeMartino’s class, picked up a chair, and calmly smashed it into the blackboard, and then again, and again until the thing was cracked open and the stand for the chalk was on the floor and DeMartino was backing away from her.\n\nThen she walked back out, the chair (two of the legs gone) still in her hand, until she reached the case for the school’s trophies, and hit until the glass was shattered on the floor. \n\nShe was moving towards the gym when Principal Li caught up with her, an unfamiliar male coach as a bodyguard, screaming to know what was going on. Daria thought through her response, a few seconds longer than necessary, and decided on:\n\n“I don’t like Mondays.”\n\n[i:39g1t2ta]It’s Tuesday but she’ll know the connotations. Ah. Look at her. She does. Smile at her.\n\nOh. I am smiling.[/i:39g1t2ta]\n\n\n---\n\nThe police had to be called in, and her mother. She’d had to see the police first and made sure to repeat the same reason she gave Li, but nothing else. That was just a formality though, until it was clear the school would press charges.\n\nHelen looked worried, and that got to her: alternate or not, that was her mother. She didn’t like making her parents genuinely worry about her, hated courting disappointment. \n\n“Daria, why… I don’t understand it. Is something wrong?”\n\n[i:39g1t2ta]Yes yes yes a thousand times yes and this is my only way to fix it well break it but breaking fixes it[/i:39g1t2ta]\n\n“Yes.”\n\n“You can tell me sweetie. You can tell me anything. You know-“\n\n“I’m not the Daria Morgendorffer of this universe. I’m from another reality-“\n\n“Daria-“\n\n“The Daria of this universe is a contemptible bitch who contributes to the ruin of her best friend, and torments everyone around her, but at home I’m [i:39g1t2ta]not[/i:39g1t2ta] like that. I can do good there.

That\'s fine: if there\'s nobody that wants to read it, I don\'t have to post it; I only got into that lengthy discussion with my friend because she specifically asked me to. But it sets my antennae wiggling when somebody says that people can talk about why they didn\'t like a story.[/quote:10vd5izr]\n\nThat\'s only part of a long discussion, though.  This thread alone contains about a dozen opinions about why exhaustive reviews are good, but personal attacks masquerading as reviews are bad. Also, my statement that you should feel free to say what you don\'t like came after someone apologizing for saying what they didn\'t like about a story.\n\nAnd most importantly, your example is crap. Capote\'s remarks are just a pithy one-liner, fine in conversation, but asinine in print. So if you\'d like to start reviewing stuff, we\'d love your opinion. If you\'d like to take potshots at what you believe are sacred cows around here, you can do that too, but I would expect very little attention and most of that negative.[/quote:10vd5izr]You\'re right about Capote. That was a poor choice of example on my part. I apologise. I should have started by mentioning my own experience, which was much more to the point.\n\nWhat I was saying wasn\'t that I see sacred cows. I don\'t. I see plenty of examples of people referring to things that they aren\'t interested in as well as examples of people referring to things that they like. I see lots of comments of various kinds.\n\nWhat I don\'t see are people commenting on the characteristics of the actual writing, good or bad. If it\'s going on and I\'m not seeing it, I would very much like to be pointed at it. But if my perception is accurate and that kind of discussion is not going on, it seems reasonable to guess that the reason is that people aren\'t interested in that kind of discussion.\n\nIt isn\'t a potshot at anybody to say that they\'re not interested in a particular topic. Anybody who wanted to check could find out that there are forums here that I never post in, and could reasonably conclude that I\'m not interested in the topics discussed there. I don\'t interpret it as a shortcoming of mine that some things interest me less than others, and I don\'t intend it as a potshot to suggest that the same is true of other people. If I am interested in something and you are not, or the other way round, all it shows is that tastes differ, which seems to me a harmless observation. Maybe the observation doesn\'t interest you.

They had been dating for the better part of a few months now, but she had been unable to truly reveal herself as he had fallen in love with a geek version of her. \nAs soon as he was out of sight, Stacy ran around to the right side of her house, giving her a chance to stuff her chunky brown jumper and glasses into her bag and re-braid her hair. Suddenly, her cellphone rang. The caller ID read &quot;Sandi&quot;.\n&quot;Hello?&quot;\n&quot;Stacy, it\'s an emergency! That bitch Capello and her Glee Club have gone too far! I need you to come over for an emergency meeting of the Fashion Club right now.&quot;\n&quot;Sorry, I can\'t.&quot;\n&quot;What?&quot;\nStacy was starting to sweat. &quot;I have important family stuff to be at, Sandi. I\'m so sorry I can\'t make it.&quot;\n&quot;Stacy, please don\'t tell me that you\'re putting other commitments ahead of those of the Fashion Club.&quot;\n&quot;It\'s not like I have a choice here, Sandi,&quot; said Stacy nervously as she fumbled for an excuse, &quot;It\'s my... mother\'s birthday. Yeah. Mom\'s birthday.&quot;\nPause. \n&quot;Well... I guess I could excuse you this time. Elsie wants us all over at her house on Monday anyway so we\'ll have a meeting there. But consider this an official warning. Next time try and make arrangements that don\'t clash with those of the Fashion Club, otherwise it may be time to reconsider your membership.&quot;\nSandi hung up.\n[i:3mahjb0z]Thank God that\'s over.[/i:3mahjb0z]\nStacy hadn\'t even put the cellphone back down when it rang again. This time, the ID read &quot;Quinn&quot;.\n&quot;You rang?&quot; said Stacy in a deeper, rougher tone.\n&quot;Death Rowe! Where the fuck are ya?&quot;\n&quot;At home, why?&quot;\n&quot;You up for crashing The Zon with me and the guys? We\'re going to drink all night to celebrate the death of that cunt Angela Li!&quot;\n&quot;She\'s dead?&quot;\n&quot;Dead, fired, whatever, she\'s gone either way! What do ya say?&quot;\n[i:3mahjb0z]Great, now I have to think of another excuse.[/i:3mahjb0z]\n&quot;Sorry, Killer.

You don\'t want to see Slutty Girl try and break her record for most guys sprayed with mace in one night?&quot;\n&quot;ROCK... sorry, maybe we can trash shit next week.&quot;\n&quot;That\'s too bad... well, smell ya later!&quot;\n[i:3mahjb0z]That\'s it. If it rings one more time it\'s going through to voicemail.[/i:3mahjb0z]\nAlmost as if on cue, it rang again. The ID came up with &quot;Unknown number&quot;.\nStacy left it until it stopped ringing, and waited. Eventually, the new message tone played. Stacy checked the new message.\n&quot;Stacy, it\'s [url=http&#58;//www&#46;theangstguy&#46;com/backgrounders/052&#46;html:3mahjb0z]Corrin[/url:3mahjb0z] from soccer... I see you\'ve been using your answering machine message to test your American accent! Sounds great, but that\'s not what I called for. I\'m just calling to say that soccer training is still on for Thursday, even though we need get the coaching situation sorted out. We have to keep the momentum going, because with you as goalie, this is the best team we\'ve ever had! Anyway, ring me back if you get the chance. Bye!&quot;\nStacy glared at her phone, daring it to ring again. It didn\'t.\nPutting her phone back in her pocket, Stacy brushed herself down and walked around the other side of her house to the back garage. To her surprise, she found Dennis Rowe, mechanic and all-around car enthusiast, working on the engine of a car that was almost as old as he was. He looked imposing with his long brown ponytail and dirty blue overalls, but in reality, he was just a big softie.\n&quot;Hi, Daddy. You\'re home from work early.&quot;\n&quot;Stacy!&quot; said Dennis, turning around and wiping his oily hands on a rag, &quot;I was so worried about you!&quot;\n&quot;I was only at school, Dad.&quot;\n&quot;Are you all right? I had the news on in the background while I was working on the car and there was some big fuss there or something.&quot;\n&quot;It\'s nothing. Principal Li got fired and some jocks got into a fight with the punk kids, that\'s all.&quot;\n&quot;Damn. You didn\'t get hurt did you?&quot;\n&quot;No way,&quot; said Stacy as she put her bruised knuckles behind her back, &quot;I was in the library.&quot;\n&quot;Really?&quot; asked Dennis, raising an eyebrow.\n&quot;I was, I swear!&quot;\nDennis laughed. &quot;All right, I trust you. So, are you going over to a friend\'s house or something? If you are, be careful because that nutjob with the paintball gun is out there somewhere.&quot;\nStacy blushed.\n&quot;Not tonight. I\'m just going to relax here. It\'s been a rough couple of days at school with the media and the Li stuff and honestly, I\'m exhausted.&quot;\n&quot;Yeah, I don\'t blame you.

Officials say that Principal Angela Li received a video tape earlier in the day by a group calling themselves the \'Fashion Cell\'.  On the tape, they demanded that the recently instituted uniform policy at the school be retracted, using the threat of a bomb as an incentive.  Li reportedly ignored this threat and continued the school day as normal while having the janitors quietly search the grounds for any explosive devices, which they were unable to find before an explosion destroyed a large section of the school cafeteria.  That area of the school was empty at the time and there were no injuries or fatalities, but the school board is having to set up a catering service for school lunches until the damage is repaired.  At this time the identities of the Fashion Cell\'s members are unknown and are believed to still be at large.

That\'s fine: if there\'s nobody that wants to read it, I don\'t have to post it; I only got into that lengthy discussion with my friend because she specifically asked me to. But it sets my antennae wiggling when somebody says that people can talk about why they didn\'t like a story.[/quote:wjns09o1]\n\nThat\'s only part of a long discussion, though.  This thread alone contains about a dozen opinions about why exhaustive reviews are good, but personal attacks masquerading as reviews are bad. Also, my statement that you should feel free to say what you don\'t like came after someone apologizing for saying what they didn\'t like about a story.\n\nAnd most importantly, your example is crap. Capote\'s remarks are just a pithy one-liner, fine in conversation, but asinine in print. So if you\'d like to start reviewing stuff, we\'d love your opinion. If you\'d like to take potshots at what you believe are sacred cows around here, you can do that too, but I would expect very little attention and most of that negative.[/quote:wjns09o1]You\'re right about Capote. That was a poor choice of example on my part. I apologise. I should have started by mentioning my own experience, which was much more to the point.\n\nWhat I was saying wasn\'t that I see sacred cows. I don\'t. I see plenty of examples of people referring to things that they aren\'t interested in as well as examples of people referring to things that they like. I see lots of comments of various kinds.\n\n[b:wjns09o1]What I don\'t see are people commenting on the characteristics of the actual writing, good or bad. If it\'s going on and I\'m not seeing it, I would very much like to be pointed at it. But if my perception is accurate and that kind of discussion is not going on, it seems reasonable to guess that the reason is that people aren\'t interested in that kind of discussion.[/b:wjns09o1]\n\nIt isn\'t a potshot at anybody to say that they\'re not interested in a particular topic. Anybody who wanted to check could find out that there are forums here that I never post in, and could reasonably conclude that I\'m not interested in the topics discussed there. I don\'t interpret it as a shortcoming of mine that some things interest me less than others, and I don\'t intend it as a potshot to suggest that the same is true of other people. If I am interested in something and you are not, or the other way round, all it shows is that tastes differ, which seems to me a harmless observation. Maybe the observation doesn\'t interest you. It interests me.

All of us - from those just \'dabbling\' to those who aspire to to this for a living - are writing about this character and her world because we\'re having fun.

One thing that I\'ve noticed over the years that I\'ve been in this fandom is that (with one pristine exception, and one jackass who was the exception that [b:wjns09o1]proves[/b:wjns09o1] the rule), the people who want to be uber-critical of writing usually want to be writers themselves, but are either afraid to do so, or are so-so in that area.

I was going to just put my fics over on FF.net and OD - but after this, I\'ll just keep posting here. \n\nWhy?

The yard is filled with clients and co-workers of Jake and Helen. We see Jake standing at the grill in a red, white, and blue Hawaiian shirt and shorts, chatting happily with Tom Griffin. Helen, dressed in her usual casual outfit walks over and casually places a fire extinguisher a few feet away. Quinn is sitting at one of the tables with the former Fashion Club, surrounded by the teenage sons of several of the guests. We see Linda Griffin trying to break up her sons’ latest wrestling match as Daria, dressed in her usual outfit walks out of the house carrying a plate of meat. She sets it on a table beside the grill, then sits down in a nearby chair. Every now and then she glances toward the gate.)\n\nHELEN: Daria, when are your friends arriving?\n\nDARIA: Soon I hope. (Bt) Although I’m sure that you asking me every five minutes will make them get here faster.\n\nHELEN: I’m just anxious to get to know your boyfriend better.\n\nDARIA: You mean anxious to rip his throat out.\n\nHELEN: Now Daria…\n\n(There are a few gasps, followed by complete silence. Daria gives a little smirk and looks toward the gate.)\n\nDARIA: Sounds like they’re here.\n\nHELEN: They are? (turning around) Oh dear God…\n\n(The camera pans around, sweeping over the shocked faces of the guests. Finally it settles on the objects of their fascination. Mystik Spiral stands just inside the gate to the Morgendorffer yard. All of them are wearing combat boots and badly torn jeans with long wallet chains hanging from them. They are shirtless, but wear leather vests with a single row of pyramid shaped silver studs across the shoulders. Max and Nick wear leather wrist cuffs with small spikes on them, while Trent and Jesse have on several thin bracelets that are black, and each of them wears a small silver cyclone, suspended from a black chord around their neck. As everyone stares at them, Max pulls a flask out of his vest and takes a swig. Trent pulls a cigarette from a silver case and lights it with a match.)\n\nTRENT (exhaling): Tough crowd.\n\nJANE (stepping around Nick): You guys have faced worse.\n\n(Jane’s hair is now streaked with red and held in a high ponytail by a band with a silver skull on it. Her eyes are done in a smoky shade, but her lips still sport the same red. She is dressed in a short red plaid skirt and thigh-high combat boots with fishnets underneath. The vest she wears matches the bands’ but it’s much smaller and tighter. Her vest is buttoned up, as she wears no shirt beneath it, and just below the last button we see a small silver hoop in her navel that matches the one in her left nostril. Around her neck is a matching cyclone necklace, but it’s paired with a spiked dog collar. She grins as she starts walking towards Daria.)\n\nJANE (quietly): Let the fireworks begin. (louder) Hope you don’t mind Mrs. M. we brought some of our road crew.\n\n(The band steps aside to reveal Andrea, Burnout, Scarlett, Kristen, Angel, Bob and a few similar teenagers.)\n\nJANE: You did say the whole Spiral was invited, right?\n\nHELEN (tense): Of course, the more the merrier.\n\n(Daria stands, smirking and meets Jane halfway across the lawn.)\n\nDARIA (whispering): Oh you have most definitely redeemed yourself Lane.\n\n(Jesse and the rest of the band wander over, the “road crew” dispersing amongst the crowd. Jesse leans down and kisses Daria. Both Helen and Sandi look ready to explode.)\n\nJESSE (grinning): Hey.\n\nDARIA: Hey.\n\nJESSE: I got ya something.\n\n(Daria raises an eyebrow as Scarlett hands Jesse a bag.)\n\nJESSE (loud enough for Helen to hear): Me and the guys decided it was time to make you official Spiral property.\n\n(Daria crosses her arms as Helen moves closer.)\n\nDARIA:  I am no one’s property.\n\nJESSE (smirking): Not what you said last night.

Open it!\n\n(Daria reluctantly reaches into the bag Jesse holds and draws out a vest. It’s identical to the one the others wear, and now we see that back is dominated by a large cyclone. The cyclone is a bright green with dusty purple shading. Across the shoulders of the vest is the word “Mystic” and across the bottom is “Spiral”. )\n\nJANE: I designed the logo. (Bt) Try it on.\n\n(Jane holds the vest while Daria slips off her jacket revealing that it’s not her usual top underneath. She’s wearing a tank top in the same color. She hands the jacket to Jane, and slides into the vest, buttoning it with a little bit of difficulty. The vest fits just as tightly as Jane’s, the only modesty provided by her top.)\n\nTRENT (grinning): Perfect.\n\nJESSE: Not quite.\n\n( Jesse reaches into his pocket pulling out a small cyclone on a black chord. He steps behind Daria as she lifts her hair and clasps it around her neck. Stepping back in front of her, he reaches out and adjusts the pendant slightly.)\n\nJESSE: Beautiful.\n\n(Daria rolls her eyes and blushes.)\n\nNICK: It’s official, you’re stuck with us now.\n\nMAX: Welcome to the Criminale life.\n\nJANE (rolling her eyes): And all of this is just a fancy way of saying they’ll be asking you for gas money soon.\n\nJAKE (wandering over): Jesse my man! I didn’t know you knew Trent.\n\nTRENT (exhaling and stomping out his cigarette): He’s my best friend Mr. M.\n\nHELEN (coldly): And a member of his band. See what they gave Daria?\n\nJAKE: Cool! I’ve gotta get to that leather store!\n\n(Helen rolls her eyes and storms off.)\n\nTRENT: Tell ‘em the Spiral sent you.\n\nDARIA: I’m gonna go toss this jacket in the house.\n\n(Daria gives Jane and Trent pointed looks and walks away. Jake leans toward the guys and lowers his voice.)\n\nJAKE: Say, you guys are musicians right? You wouldn’t happen to know who this guitar player is that Daria’s been dating, would you? Helen’s been going on about it for a while now.\n\n(CUT TO the Morgendorffer kitchen. Daria opens the door and tosses her jacket on a chair.)\n\nJAKE (OS): Helen, it’s okay!

She started walking toward Mr. DeMartino\'s class and he trailed after her.\n\n	They walked slowly, and James felt like he had just woken up and couldn\'t get his arms and legs to move the way they should. Everything was a blur. He looked forward and saw only Daria\'s back towards him. He tried walking faster to keep up and then they got to the classroom door. Daria turned the knob and walked in first.\n\n	Mr. DeMartino was in the middle of a lesson about the burning of Atlanta when Daria and James walked into the room. &quot;Mr. Lane. Ms. Morgendorffer. I hope you have a good reason for being tardy to my class.&quot;\n\n	Daria looked Mr. DeMartino in his swollen eye and said, &quot;Tommy Sherman\'s dead.&quot; The entire classroom erupted into sobs and gasps. \n\n	&quot;Tommy Sherman?&quot;\n\n	Daria said, &quot;Yes.&quot;\n\n	&quot;The football player?&quot;\n\n	&quot;Yes.&quot; \n\n	&quot;Dead?&quot;\n\n	&quot;Yes.&quot; This answer was more impatient than the others. Daria and James stood near the door but both were focused on their desks.\n\n	Mr. DeMartino paused and said, &quot;You may take your seats.&quot; He turned his back on the class and made a small noise. When he turned around he said, &quot;Class, I must confirm this horrific news. You are to remain in your seats until I return.&quot;\n\n	James sat down and put his head down on his desk. He heard Jodie ask Daria if what she had said was true. After that he only heard silence. Then he heard Andrea sigh and then say that Tommy Sherman was a pig and an asshole but he didn\'t deserve to die. Some approving murmurs followed, and James just wished that he could go home and sleep the rest of the day away.\n\n\n\n	No one could concentrate the rest of the day. James found that when people talked he had trouble listening. Somehow he made it from class to class without bumping into people, and when it was lunchtime he went to Daria\'s locker as if on autopilot. She was already there waiting for him and she looked up at him with a worried fragment of a smile on her lips. She said, &quot;James, are you okay?&quot;\n\n	&quot;Yeah. Let\'s just go to the cafeteria.&quot; He failed to look at her as he said this.\n\n	&quot;Alright. I\'ll follow you.&quot; She waited for him to get moving and then walked behind him as he made an odd path through the students in the hall.\n\n	James was silent and so was Daria. He felt like he wanted to talk to her, and he wanted to know what she was thinking, but the quiet between them was impenetrable. They went into the cafeteria and he grabbed a tray. He got his usual burger and fries and carton of milk and then paid. Daria got lasagna and followed him to their usual table. He tried to eat but only got a couple of bites into his burger before he felt he could not take any more. After finishing his milk he saw Daria had only eaten a couple of bites of her lasagna. This worried him, but he didn\'t want to tell her that. \n\n	Daria pushed her tray away from her and said, &quot;I\'m done. Wanna get out of here?&quot;\n\n	&quot;Yeah.&quot;\n\n	She stood up and he did the same. They went to throw away their food and then saw Mr. O\'Neill waiting by the door. He had the same idiotic smile he always did, but now it looked like it was forced on out of habit. As they walked to the door Mr. O\'Neill got closer to them and then moved into their path.\n\n	&quot;Daria. James. Ms. Li told me she wanted to see you as soon as you were done with lunch.&quot; His smile showed even more teeth than usual as he waited for an answer.\n\n	&quot;What, now? Dammit...&quot; James looked at Mr. O\'Neill as though he were trying to stop him from escaping Devil\'s Island. &quot;God... Let\'s get this over with...&quot; He pushed past his teacher without bothering to look directly at him. Daria followed and once past him looked back at Mr. O\'Neill.\n\n	The anger that had overcome him was returning. James felt himself snap out of his daze and a rage was building inside of him. He looked out the window and saw other students there, spending the rest of their lunch period outside, in the open air, free of the confines of the school. He wished he could have at least a few minutes out there before having to go back to class. [i:2wvlpi59]They just couldn\'t leave me alone,[/i:2wvlpi59] he thought. [i:2wvlpi59]All I wanted was to wait out the rest of the day and get home, but...[/i:2wvlpi59] He stopped in front of the secretary\'s desk and saw that no one was there. Daria stopped beside him, touched him on the shoulder and then pointed to the open door of Ms. Li\'s office. He looked over and saw Ms. Li standing at the door, her arms folded. The expression on her face was fatigued, one of someone who had already dealt with a lot of chaos but was still ready to take on more. James knew then that he wouldn\'t be able to spend any time at all outside with Daria, and he sighed.\n\n	&quot;Mr. Lane. Miss Morgendorffer. You will come in and take a seat.&quot; Ms. Li barked her orders to them like they were unruly children and not a young man and woman. Daria grit her teeth and followed James inside the office.\n\n	James took a seat but dropped his backpack with a loud thud. He sat slouched in the chair. Daria sat down daintily, and she placed her backpack on the floor gently. They looked at each other nervously.\n\n	&quot;Good.&quot; Ms. Li sat behind her desk, and she placed her hands in front of her on top of the blotter. &quot;Now I wanted to discuss what happened this morning between you and Mr. Sherman...&quot; \n\n	James spoke up before Daria could. &quot;What do you mean, [i:2wvlpi59]You[/i:2wvlpi59]? Which one of us? Me?&quot;\n\n	&quot;Well, since you\'ve decided to volunteer, we\'ll start with...&quot;\n\n	&quot;Oh, you mean since I decided to let him know what a jerk he was, I should get chewed out first?&quot;\n\n	&quot;I didn\'t say that. I just meant...&quot;\n\n	&quot;You meant that I should have just kept my mouth shut and let that bastard pick on Daria?&quot;\n\n	&quot;Mr. Lane, I will not tolerate such language from one of my students.&quot; Ms. Li looked flustered, She stopped, took a breath, and then tried to smile. &quot;It seems we\'ve gotten off on the wrong foot. Now, I\'m not going to chew anyone out or anything like that. I just want to hear from both of you what happened before the... tragic accident this morning.&quot;\n\n	Daria looked over at James and then started talking. &quot;James and I walked towards my locker and we saw Tommy Sherman standing there. He was in front of my locker and I asked him to move.&quot;\n\n	&quot;Did you ask him or did you tell him?&quot;\n\n	James stood up. &quot;Jesus, what is this? You said...&quot;\n\n	Daria said, &quot;James...&quot; and looked him in the eye. He backed down and looked away from Ms. Li. &quot;Well, I asked him.&quot;\n\n	&quot;And what did he say?&quot; Ms. Li hunched forward in her chair.\n\n	&quot;He said to wait until he was done ogling the female students in the hallway. Not literally, of course.&quot;\n\n	&quot;Uh-huh. And what did you say?&quot;\n\n`	&quot;I told him that he should get out of my way so I wouldn\'t be late for class. He got pissed off, accused me of being a homosexual, then tried to get me to bring a friend over to his motel room to entertain him.&quot;\n\n	Ms. Li paused her questioning. She sighed. &quot;I see. And who made the first physical contact?&quot;\n\n	There was a long silence, and James finally spoke. &quot;I did. I got between him and Daria when he raised his voice.&quot;\n\n	&quot;Alright. Did he harm you in any way?&quot;\n\n	James was taken aback. This question was completely unexpected. &quot;No.&quot;\n\n	&quot;Good. Ms. Morgendorffer, did you feel threatened by Mr. Sherman\'s behavior this morning?&quot;\n\n	Daria looked over at James and said, &quot;Yes. Yes I did.&quot;\n\n	&quot;And that\'s why you kicked him?&quot;\n\n	&quot;Well, that was so I could keep him from beating up James...&quot;\n\n	Ms. Li looked Daria in the eye and said, &quot;You said you felt threatened...&quot; In a different tone she said, &quot;That [i:2wvlpi59]was[/i:2wvlpi59] the reason, wasn\'t it?&quot;\n\n	James looked at Ms. Li and said, &quot;Wait a minute... This whole thing isn\'t about us doing something wrong... You\'re worried about how it would look to everyone if they knew how Tommy Sherman acted right before he died.&quot;\n\n	&quot;I cannot officially say...&quot;\n\n	Daria spoke up and said, &quot;What do you want? Do you want us to sign something, or is it enough for us to take a sworn oath never to speak of it again?&quot;\n\n	Ms. Li stood up. &quot;I will have the papers drawn by tomorrow for both of you to sign. Until then, you are to keep what happened this morning quiet.&quot;\n\n	James stood up. &quot;I can\'t believe this. A guy comes in, threatens Daria, I try to defend her, and you\'re worried about his reputation? I\'m outta here.&quot; He started walking toward the door.\n\n	&quot;Mr. Lane, come back here!&quot;\n\n	&quot;Don\'t worry. I\'m not telling anybody about what happened. They\'ll find out just how much of an asshole he was eventually.&quot; He walked out of the office and slammed the door. Daria looked at Ms. Li and stood up ready to follow.\n\n	&quot;Ms. Morgendorffer, I trust that you\'ll calm Mr. Lane down. No one needs to hear about what happened here. The man is dead, and it\'s best that he\'s remembered for the good things he did in life.&quot;\n\n	Daria looked at Ms. Li with cold eyes. &quot;Alright. But I\'m doing it for my friend, not for you.&quot; She started to walk towards the door but stopped and turned back. &quot;And you can forget us signing anything. My mother is a lawyer and if you try to threaten us with anything she\'ll sue you for so much money they\'ll have to rename this school Morgendorffer High.&quot; \n\n	Ms. Li stood behind her desk, her mouth agape, as Daria opened the door, walked through, and slammed it shut.\n\n\n\n	James sat down on the grass. He thought that he was just starting to deal with the events of that morning and the implications that followed, and now he had Ms. Li\'s actions to process. [i:2wvlpi59]If only I could go back to this morning and do things differently,[/i:2wvlpi59] he thought. [i:2wvlpi59]If I had the chance maybe things wouldn\'t be the same. Maybe he wouldn\'t be dead...[/i:2wvlpi59] He looked at his own shadow in front of him and then saw that another shadow was getting closer. He looked up and saw Daria standing there, her head lowered.\n\n	&quot;Took me a while to find you. Didn\'t think you would come here.&quot; She raised her arm and pointed at the back of the cafeteria, the loading dock where they received the frozen and dry goods, the cartons of milk and loaves of bread they served every day. \n\n	&quot;I didn\'t think you would find me.&quot; \n\n	&quot;Well, it\'s almost the end of lunchtime. We have to go back.&quot;\n\n	&quot;I don\'t want to go back. Maybe I\'ll ditch the rest of the day.&quot; James looked up at Daria and tried to force a grin.\n\n	&quot;And leave me here, alone? No way.&quot; She looked down at James and said, &quot;Come on. It\'s just half the day. Please.&quot;\n\n	He looked up at her again and said, &quot;Okay.&quot; He moved his legs to get up and then saw Daria offer her hand. James knew he could rise on his own, but he took her hand anyway and let her help him stand up.\n\n	&quot;Whoa. You\'re heavier than you look.&quot; She grinned.\n\n	&quot;I guess you need to work out more.&quot; He tried to grin back but found he couldn\'t. James bent down to pick up his backpack and the bell rang, sounding the end of lunch.','55e874a8e72ccac00fc1a146242c7e3d',0,'IA==','2wvlpi59',1,0,'',0,0,0),(464294,32007,6,1125,0,'75.14.15.37',1299054387,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Summer Fling (PART 5)','I know I\'m going to sound like Flounder from [i:1gs39rm0]Animal House[/i:1gs39rm0], but I have to say, [i:1gs39rm0]Oh boy is this great![/i:1gs39rm0] <!-- s:lol: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif\" alt=\":lol:\" title=\"Laughing\" /><!-- s:lol: -->  <!-- s:lol: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif\" alt=\":lol:\" title=\"Laughing\" /><!-- s:lol: -->  <!-- s:lol: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif\" alt=\":lol:\" title=\"Laughing\" /><!-- s:lol: -->','b513a8682be8d22ecb48c53559d1f630',0,'IA==','1gs39rm0',1,0,'',0,0,0),(464295,29266,16,1074,0,'72.208.82.130',1299057694,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Dariawiki III','I was wondering.

Nuff said.[/i:3do6lxnz]\n\n[b:3do6lxnz][size=150:3do6lxnz]A Legion of Lawndale Heroes Mini: Kevin and the knights[/size:3do6lxnz][/b:3do6lxnz]\n\nThere is never a boring day in Lawndale, at least it never seemed to be. Super powered teenagers living in a high tower and trained by a super-powered ex-marine, a family that hunts supernatural evils, demon-summoning cheerleaders, so called terrorist attacks on the local high school, a nearly almighty shop owner playing his games, media trouble all around and of course the normal craziness of a rather strange American suburb.\n\nBut all that got right over the head of Kevin Thompson, the perhaps most clueless member of the species male teenager in the county, when he walked down Tecks Street, grumbling about his dad not being able to drive him. A six-pack of beer in hand, and a keg on the hand truck in front of him, he trotted along the sidewalk, not caring about the darkness of the night. What should happen to him? He\'s the Quarterback, with a capital Q of course.\n\nHe was the only one on the street at that time, it being a rather unused one in the small industrial area of Lawndale. Normally he would drive the way to any party he was invited to but his car had broke down the day before and his father had been unable to drive him, having a broken leg and sitting on the couch and watching football reruns. And this was the fastest way to go.\n\n“Hey cool, a dollar!”, he suddenly said out loud and bowed down to get the small piece of money from the ground. That was the reason why he did not notice the small red glowing point on the other side of the street, quickly growing and becoming bigger, first as big as a football, than as big as a window and finally as big as a SUV.\n\n“Oh no, it\'s just a quarter”, the football player mumbled. “If I find another two I have a whole dollar.”\n\nThe red glowing point had by now grew into some sort of portal, a swirling circle of red, pulsing energy.\n\n“Or was it three more?” He scratched his head while thinking. He was never any good in math but thanks to coach Gibson he never had to be, because he was the Quarterback.\n\nSomething came out of the portal, something big. Moving with a grace that belied it\'s huge frame. In the dim light of a street lantern it looked like a massive bear, only bigger than even the biggest bear who had ever walked on earth, the front legs longer and the snout shorter than it should. And there were of course the red eyes and the massive teeth coming out of his mouth, not to forget the brutal claws. It had the size of a big SUV, only in shaggy fur and build by nature, or something the like.\n\n“Dammit, now it fell down.” In the weak light it wasn\'t easy for Kevin to find the quarter again, so he dropped to his knees and looked for it. He did not notice the big bear just a few yards behind him, looking around a bit confused.\n\nThe bear was irritated but although he now was in a complete new environment, he knew that he should get moving. The small metal man were after him, hacking with their metal weapons and piercing his thick skin. Although he was bigger and stronger than him they were dangerous and he knew that they could kill him perhaps. He sniffed and noticed the small puny man, kneeling on the ground, smelling like iron and smoke and the terrible yellow water humans tend to drink. He growled.\n\n“A minute bro, I lost a quarter, have you seen it?”, Kevin asked without looking up. He could swear that it was just around here.\n\n[b:3do6lxnz]”WRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHWWW!!!”[/b:3do6lxnz]\n\nImmediately Kevin jumped and out of trained skill he made a running start before skidding to a halt a few feet ahead, whirling around. The year long football training saved his live as the massive claw of the bear hit the sidewalk where he had been a second ago. He gulped and his mouth fell open. “Oh... not cool, bro...”\n\n“GET IT MA BRETHREN!!!”\n\n“FOR THE KING!!!”\n\n“TASTE STEEL VILE BEAST!!!”\n\nOut of the portal charged a group of knights, clad in colorful surcoats and armed with an array of medieval weapons, screaming their battle calls and charging the monster.\n\nA large sword, held in two hands by a lean man in black and white, tore through the shaggy, black fur of the left hind leg and hit flesh. Enraged the great beast whirled around and hit after his attackers, but he missed because they jumped back and began to encircle their foe.\n\nActing out of instinct the bear stood up, standing up on his hind legs and now towering over the humans, nearly 13 feet high and roaring with a terrible, frightening voice. If the eight knights were impressed by this the didn\'t show it. Instead he was hit by an arrow in his shoulder, shot by a rather small knight in green and white surcoat.\n\nWith an open mouth Kevin watched how they fought, attacking with swords, axe or flail, shooting arrows and always trying to stay out of the direct range of their foe. And what a foe it was. He gulped as he saw how the massive bear turned over a parked car with ease and how he destroyed a street lantern when he missed one of his enemies.\n\nHis knees felt weak as he watched how another knight, this one in brown and white with a brown coat over his shoulders, jumped suddenly forward and hit with a powerful charge, cutting deep into the side of the bear with his large sword, but this time he wasn\'t fast enough. With a speed that should have been impossible the animal whirled around and because of the movement the human attacker lost grip of his weapon, tumbling a step before he could jump back.\n\nBut it was too late and a powerful paw hit him and hurled him away, before he was stopped by a fence and dropped down to the ground, not moving anymore.\n\n“Hey, that\'s not cool!”\n\nEveryone turned around to him, including the beast. The knights had just know noticed him and seemed to panic, suddenly aware that there was someone in danger. Before the could act their opponent did just that. Sensing the weakest of his attackers, at least he assumed that they were all his attackers, he charged.\n\nThat was the moment when a few people learned a few very important lessons.\n\nThe Eight Knights of Castle Echsensturm learned, that the weakest spot of a demonhive bear is his snout, the own spot on his body where he could really feel any pain and where he was the least protected by his layers of fat and fur.\n\nKevin Thompson learned, that the ability to hit one spot with all his might can be a very useful skill for a lot of things, it don\'t have to be limited to football. Later he would use this for a lot of coming battles and he would be famous for his preferred tactic, charging the enemy and running them over like a chevalier, just without the need of a horse. \n\nAnd the demonhive bear learned, that an enraged Quarterback armed with a keg of beer is way more dangerous than any knight.\n\nWith a last growl the massive animal dropped to the floor, knocked out by 30 liters of beer which had hit him straight against the snout with a speed of 50 miles per hour. The keg was now ruined and Kevin was laying on the ground next to his opponent, but he was still conscious, the huge animal wasn\'t.\n\nFor a second his right hand seemed to gleam silvery in the dim light but when he looked it was gone. His head was spinning and he heard a ringing in his ears, like the last time he had played against Carter County High and Mack Daddy... well, not one of his proudest moment.\n\n“By the might of the Holy Light!”, boomed the first knight who came out of his stupor and walked up to Kevin, helping him up. “A mighty fine strike boy!”\n\n“Um... oh, thanks!” Kevin had no idea what was going on when the armored men, and two women how he now noticed, gathered around him and congratulated him. But it was nearly as when he won a football game, so he did what he always did in such a situation: He grinned and waved and gave his buddies high fives.\n\nThe concept of high fives seemed to be unknown to this crowd however, but they learned fast.\n\n“My young friend, you have my thanks for your help in this great battle”, said the knight in black and white, grabbing Kevin\'s shoulder and squeezing it with gentle force. “I am Sir Hendrik the Wise, leader of the Eight Knights of Castle Echsensturm and these are my brethren and sisters in battle.”\n\nSaid brethren and sisters were beheading the fallen bear and helping their comrade back to his feet. He seemed to be shaken but not terrible injured, although he limped slightly.\n\nKevin grinned at the man in front of him. The chainmail and the surcoat was kind of strange and he talked funny, but he seemed to be a nice guy. “Hi, I\'m Kevin, I\'m the Quarterback.”\n\n“Well then Kevin of Quarterback, never before I have met a brave warrior with an armor as strange and magical as yours. May I invite you to come back with us to Castle Echstensturm, where we will honor this victory of yours with a great feast?”\n\n“Will there be babes and beer?”\n\nThe knight seemed a bit confused. “Babes? Beer there will be, but what do you mean by babes?”\n\n“Um... fair maidens?”\n\n“Ah.” He chuckled slightly. “Of course, and they love a great warrior like you.”\n\n“Oh, cool. Sure.”\n\nAnd thus he followed the eight knights through the portal, totally forgotten about the party he was about to attend. They left behind the headless body of a massive bear and property damage of about twenty thousand dollar.\n\nNot long after they walked through it the portal closed again.\n\n–\n\n[i:3do6lxnz]Next on Sick Sad World: Once they were like Yogi and Winnie Pooh, but atomic waste transformed them into terrible beast. Mutant bears on our streets, next on Sick Sad World![/i:3do6lxnz]\n\n–\n\nWhen Doug Thompson was just about to dig into his breakfast, a big pile of pancakes swimming in syrup, the doorbell rang. “Honey, the door!”\n\nHis wife rolled with the eyes and stood up, knowing how her husband hated it to be interrupted when eating. Inwardly she wondered who could bother them on a Sunday morning. Kevin had a key and she was sure he wouldn\'t be back for another few hours, this early in the morning he would be still passed out and lying on some sofa somewhere. Or in some girls bed.\n\n[i:3do6lxnz]Now that this Brittany girl has made herself a Legionnaire my little Snugglepoop is sleeping around like Casanova.[/i:3do6lxnz] With this thoughts in her head she opened the door. She nearly didn\'t recognize her son.\n\nOver night he grew at least an inch and filled out, from lean and a bit skinny to lean and well muscled. And his hair grew longer over night, now reaching his shoulders. A shadow of a beard grew on his cheeks and a long scar could be seen on his forehead, a scar that looked months old. If he weren\'t her son, and she weren\'t so shocked, she would have thought that he was some sort of famous sports star or movie star. Like Vin Diesel or Jason Statham.\n\nAnd he wasn\'t wearing his football jersey anymore. No, he was now clad in medieval clothing, a yellow and blue surcoat in checkerboard pattern over a brown linen-shirt and black pants. Heavy leather boots on his feet, a small Axe in belt and a veeeeery big Axe on his back.\n\nOn his chest was a coat of arms, a complex muster woven onto his surcoat. A black cross quartering the coat, a red tower on white ground in the upper left corner, a black bear on yellow ground in the upper right quarter, a blue lion on yellow ground in the lower left corner and a white Axe on red ground in the lower right quarter.\n\nAnd of course there was the big black Taurus in the front yard, the one with fiery eyes, four wicked horns and smoke coming from his mouth, eating her petunias.\n\n“Hi Mom”, greeted Kevin her with one of his typical grins, not noticing the shocked look on his mothers face. “I\'m back. That is Artus, my mount. Ouuuh, do I smell pancakes?”\n\nCharlene did the only reasonable thing to do: She fainted.','75e4e804665459a43cedc1f308b65fea',0,'ZA==','3do6lxnz',1,1304807432,'',1172,1,0),(464299,31723,6,1001,0,'79.159.208.191',1299063033,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: World\'s Shortest Crossover','[quote=&quot;Jim North&quot;:1z0nj8c7]&quot;[i:1z0nj8c7]Seven days![/i:1z0nj8c7]&quot;\n\n&quot;What was that?&quot; Jane asked.\n\nDaria shrugged.  &quot;Wrong number.&quot;[/quote:1z0nj8c7]\n\nAlready done!  <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D --> \n\n<!-- m --><a class=\"postlink\" href=\"http://www.dariawiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=Seven_Days\">http://www.dariawiki.org/wiki/index.php ...

The thing\'s &quot;shoulders&quot; are so ridiculously wide that every single shot hits, cracking through the bone and sending out small eruptions of blood.\n\nIt\'s not slowing down it\'s not slowing down [i:3nmw74kt]it\'s not slowing down![/i:3nmw74kt]\n\nMy entire nervous system sparks and instinctively causes my muscles to flex and release in such a way that I propel myself to the side, through the open doorway, and back into the classroom.  I hit the tiled floor painfully on my shoulder while the monster charges on past, missing me completely.\n\nI really should have just done that in the first place.  Stupid.\n\nRolling over and standing up, I step back out and see that the monster has crashed into the wall.  It seems a little dazed, but quickly shakes it off and starts thrashing its torso back and forth, smashing the lockers on its left until they dent significantly inward.  A wide, toothless maw sits squarely in the small of its back, bellowing out a litany of frustration in its alien voice.\n\nI\'m weighing my options when it spins suddenly stops and begins to ponderously turn around to face me again.  I can just duck back into the room again, but I won\'t be able to continue my search with this thing still rampaging up and down the corridors, so I empty the rest of the gun\'s contents into the beast before stepping out.\n\nI can hear its thunderous steps as it charges yet again, but they falter and finally fail just after it passes by the door.  With a heavy [i:3nmw74kt]thump[/i:3nmw74kt] that I swear causes the floor to shake a little, the monster falls and my phone goes still.  I take a few calming breaths and switch the empty clip out for the fresh one before walking back out into the hall.\n\nI\'m not entirely certain who - or what - I may have to thank for the spare ammo, if anything, but I\'m definitely feeling the thankful vibe.  Having to face this thing with nothing but a tiny whacking stick might have ended up badl-\n\n&quot;[i:3nmw74kt]Aaaargh![/i:3nmw74kt]&quot;\n\nThe buzz from my phone comes on full and just a second too late to warn me as a thin shape bursts out of a nearby locker, slicing my left cheek open as it goes by.  I twirl around and try to get a bead on my new attacker, but it lashes out again and slashes the back of my hand.  My fingers open reflexively and the gun clatters to the floor, sliding off into the darkness.\n\nUnable to think of anything else to do, I ball my arms around my head and charge forward much in the same way as the bruiser lying dead a few feet away.  By what I can only assume is blind luck, I hit my opponent and carry them forward until they hit the wall with a high-pitched screech.\n\nAs I stagger back, I hear the new thing skitter away.  The phone tells me it isn\'t gone by any means, but at least I\'ve managed to get it to back off while I pull out my tire iron and try to get a better look.\n\nThe creature is thin like a runner and at first I mistake it for one, but there are several immediately noticeable differences.  The body is almost literally an hourglass shape with an impossibly thin waist, and like the bruiser it has no discernible head.  Rather than legs, it seems to have a second set of arms, identical to the top set and capped off by a mass of grey tendrils that wave oddly in the air.\n\nI can see my blood still slicking the edge of one of these thin, flat tendrils.  Just having one of those things cut through my skin like a razor wasn\'t very pleasant, and I don\'t exactly relish the thought of having more than one rake its way across me.\n\nThe creature seems to have a very different idea about this, however, as it lets out a little scream and launches itself forward.  I barely have the presence of mind to dodge, and it still catches me across the chest, cutting through my shirt and leaving six shallow gashes right above my sternum.\n\nIt skids to a stop and turns, but I\'m ready for it this time.  I lash out with my iron . . . and miss completely.  The violent action gives the creature pause, however, and this allows me to step in closer for a second swing.  It connects with one of the thing\'s shoulders, causing it to scream in pain.\n\nWith insane dexterity that any Olympic gymnast would envy, it ducks backward under my third swing and does five lightning fast back-flips, each time landing on a different set of arm/legs.  When it\'s finished, it\'s still only a few feet away, and it\'s now standing on what it was originally using as hands.  The fingerblades gather together in the rough shape of a flat foot and stiffen up while its former feet widen apart and begin to flow in the imaginary wind.\n\nI can\'t take this thing.  Not with just a thin strip of metal.  It\'s too fast, too flexible.  It\'ll cut me to ribbons by the time I manage to land enough blows to kill it.\n\nI feint to one side and it takes the bait.  Its wavering blades slice through the air where I had been standing as I pull around to the other side and rush past.  I stop only long enough to grab my pistol off the floor and fire two shots to discourage any pursuit before running back down the hall, past the office, and to the far corner.\n\nMy cellphone has stopped buzzing, but I don\'t stop for even a second.  Sliding the iron back into its belt loop, I run down the hall, trying every door I cross until one finally opens.  I hurriedly step inside, slam it shut, and lean against the door while trying and listen for movement outside over the sound of my own beating heart.\n\nOne of those beats gets skipped when a voice suddenly comes from behind me.','277b8276ceabbe9433c47787c0bc6c1d',0,'IA==','3nmw74kt',1,0,'',0,0,0),(464379,30649,6,1150,0,'72.224.233.147',1299096174,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Scenes no Daria fanfic should have: Damn The Torpedoes!','See, even you\'re violating the challenge, because I can easily see that in a GStE fic','27b3367f05f749ecb4aa0799cffccd8e',0,'','3rg0b3t4',1,0,'',0,0,0),(464380,31159,6,1108,0,'109.154.100.237',1299096229,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Screams of Silence (3/2/10)','Gahhhhhhhhhh\n\n[quote=&quot;Jim North&quot;:2a0chwzg]One of those beats gets skipped when a voice suddenly comes from behind me.[/quote:2a0chwzg]\n\n&quot;Voice&quot; implies it\'s not a monster, luckily.\n\n...luckily, right?','3eed86e8a9452e9ddf3bc6e723e46b6c',0,'gA==','2a0chwzg',1,0,'',0,0,0),(464381,31546,6,1151,0,'161.28.164.64',1299096333,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The James Lane Chronicles Chapter 5 Part 4','[quote=&quot;Charles RB&quot;:3rgelkt4]The only thing better than angsty drama is even angstier drama!  <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D -->[/quote:3rgelkt4]\n\nJust enough angst = You need more angst\n\nToo much angst = Not nearly enough angst\n\nOver the top angst = Just about right\n\n\n\nLoving James Lane!

It was two days – painful days of her family being on eggshells and unsure how to react to her, of isolation – before being committed. It was better here though. Nobody was so obviously scared of her here. And she was [i:1odc6zgi]winning[/i:1odc6zgi]. The longer she was here, the less there was to salvage.\n\nThat was exactly what she told Dr Millepieds. It worked better than a lie.\n\n“I see,” he told her, and waited to see if she’d speak again.\n\n“So far, there’s been no sign of any entity coming to stop me, so this could all be blind chance,” she said. “Or they’re calling my bluff. Or they forgot. There could be many reasons.”\n\n“It’s plausible.”\n\n“Ah, humouring the patient to make them feel at ease?”\n\nHe smiled. “I see you’ve watched TV, Daria. But tell me: does the other Daria [i:1odc6zgi]deserve[/i:1odc6zgi] this?”\n\n“Yes.”\n\n“Why?”\n\n“She hurt Jane. She shouldn’t have. It’s unforgivable.”\n\n“Does anyone act like this in the reality you come from?”\n\n“Yes.”\n\n“Would they deserve the complete destruction of their life?”\n\nPause. “No.”\n\n“Have you ever taken action to-“\n\n“No. But that’s different.”\n\n“Because Jane is your friend and the other victim is not your friend?”\n\nDaria screwed up her face as she tried to think of an excuse, but her honesty condemned her. “Yes,” she whispered. \n\n“Do you hold yourself to higher standards than this other bully?”\n\n“Yes.”\n\n“This may be too personal, but have you ever thought you failed to-“\n\n“Yes, damn it! You’re not going to dissuade me from this! Whatever you say, that bitch [i:1odc6zgi]deserves this![/i:1odc6zgi]”\n\n“I do not believe she does.” He paused. “If you are as ethical and honest as you’ve claimed, then I believe you know this too, deep down.”\n\n“I don’t.”\n\n“If our positions were reversed, you would say I was, ah, protesting too much, yes?”\n\nSilence.\n\n“Is this justice or is this just vengeance?”\n\nPause. “Vengeance.”\n\n“Is that the ethical path?”\n\n“It’s necessary.”\n\n“Truly?”\n\nPause. “You don’t believe me, so why are you bothering to talk like this?”\n\n“Daria, whether you are truly from another dimension or not, the problem is that you’re trying to destroy this other Daria’s life and yourself in the process. That is what is important.”\n\n“I don’t want to talk anymore.”\n\n\n---\n\nHer room was quiet, padded, no sharp objects, and came with its own sedatives – which she didn’t swallow and spat out when not being watched – and would be easy to sleep in. They’d let her have one or two books, so she could amuse herself. In daytime, there were computers. \n\nShe’d used the computer to brainstorm what effect she thought she’d be having on this reality – major disruption, most likely, especially as school would know she’d been committed (and wouldn’t [i:1odc6zgi]that[/i:1odc6zgi] hit this DeMartino hard, combined with the freakout she’d have in front of him? If that didn’t change him, nothing would). The effect on Quinn…\n\nCrap. She hadn’t wanted that. But it would happen, was unavoidable – Quinn would be distraught about this. Quinn was the centre of this world, so everything would be drawn into angst and tension with her. She seemed to have a strong support base though. Her friends would rally behind her, hurt would be replaced with comfort. So it wouldn’t be so bad.\n\nAnd her complete absence would unshackle this world’s Jane.\n\n[i:1odc6zgi]I can do[/i:1odc6zgi] some [i:1odc6zgi]good here.[/i:1odc6zgi]\n\nThe doctor’s words bounced around her head until she was forced to admit to herself that he had a point. This was an overly vicious tactic. On the other hand, she didn’t really care if it got her back home. \n\n[i:1odc6zgi]Why don’t I care? I should care, shouldn’t I?[/i:1odc6zgi]\n\nShe let herself fall asleep. \n\n\n---\n\nOver the next three days, she kept waking up at Quiet Ivy. She was not home. There was still no sign she was ever going to [i:1odc6zgi]get[/i:1odc6zgi] home.\n\nShe [i:1odc6zgi]had[/i:1odc6zgi] to start taking the sedatives. \n\n---\n\nJane tried to visit her. Daria refused to see her. She couldn’t handle the idea of seeing [i:1odc6zgi]this[/i:1odc6zgi] Jane when [i:1odc6zgi]her[/i:1odc6zgi] Jane was still so far away.\n\nShe saw her parents and Quinn every so often but soon [i:1odc6zgi]that[/i:1odc6zgi] was taunting her, over and over, and she refused to see them. She screamed at the very idea. \n\nDaria had come to the conclusion the doctor was right, she had gone too far. But that in itself proved she was in the right place. \n\nThey had to up her sedatives after a while.\n\n\n---\n\n\nShe asked for – and received – physics books that she hoped would give her a clue. It took her a month to go through them and understand them, but finding a way to [i:1odc6zgi]use[/i:1odc6zgi] the knowledge evaded her. \n\nShe didn’t know what else to do. \n\nShe still refused to see anyone.\n\nShe wasn’t sure what the date was anymore.\n\n\n---\n\n[i:1odc6zgi]I want to go home.[/i:1odc6zgi]\n\n[i:1odc6zgi]I am never going home.[/i:1odc6zgi]','972c14b81865b653fa94a7cfe98a477f',0,'IA==','1odc6zgi',1,0,'',0,0,0),(464405,32081,6,1150,0,'72.224.233.147',1299099638,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Iron Chief: Uniforms','[quote=&quot;Greystar&quot;:z469j9ri][img:z469j9ri]http&#58;//www&#46;outpost-daria&#46;com/images/egos/trent_04&#46;png[/img:z469j9ri]\n\nI picked the wrong time to go back and finish high school.[/quote:z469j9ri]\n\nBetter than picking the wrong time to stop smoking, or sniffing glue','b799791624c47f350c91240ccad6344c',0,'iA==','z469j9ri',1,0,'',0,0,0),(464406,32081,6,1001,0,'79.159.208.191',1299099932,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Iron Chief: Uniforms','[quote=&quot;Charles RB&quot;:37ex1ytt]I went to school in the UK were uniforms are the [i:37ex1ytt]norm[/i:37ex1ytt].

Really.  Not many people could deal with having so many alternate personalities - many of them unaware of the others - for so long without having gotten caught out and sent to the Hamilton Psychiatric Hospital to be stared at through a little window for the rest of their natural lives.  Stacy could.\n\nShe [i:2lfp9pyb]could[/i:2lfp9pyb].\n\nAt least that was what she continued to tell herself as she prepared herself for a good night\'s sleep before having to head back out and start another full day of living multiple lives.  Her teeth were brushed, her makeup was removed, her pajamas were on, and her bag of clothes was set back up for any necessary quick-changes she might need to perform the next day.\n\nWith a light sigh of contentment, she flopped down on her bed, pulled the covers up to her chin, and gradually drifted off into a dark, formless dream.\n\nTime passed as she slept.  The alarm clock sitting next to her bed kept track of that passage with its glowing green numbers, numbers that ever so slightly illuminated Stacy\'s slack face.\n\nThe clock silently clicked over to midnight, the 12:00 burning like a sickly pale sun, then began to sputter.  The light on Stacy\'s face flickered and died, dropping her into darkness for several seconds before coming back as strong as ever.  And as steady, not even blinking once as it normally would have after a power interruption.\n\nStacy turned over to lay on her back.  With a slow, eerie grace, she sat up in bed and swung her legs over the side.  Her blankets laid rumpled and forgotten as she stood and walked over to open her closet door.\n\nPajamas hit the floor and were swiftly replaced by blue jeans, t-shirt, denim jacket, and a sturdy pair of new sneakers.  Grabbing a stray tie from the closet doorknob, she pulled her hair back into a simple ponytail and let it swing freely.  Then, as a final touch, she reached up and pulled on the paintball mask.\n\nThe hunt was on.\n\n***\n\n&quot;[i:2lfp9pyb]Sssshhhh!!![/i:2lfp9pyb]&quot;\n\n&quot;Hey, [i:2lfp9pyb]you[/i:2lfp9pyb] \'sssshhhh!\'&quot; Mark snapped back, then kicked the can he had stumbled over a second time just to be ornery.  &quot;This was [i:2lfp9pyb]your[/i:2lfp9pyb] stupid idea, not mine!  If we\'d gone with [i:2lfp9pyb]my[/i:2lfp9pyb] idea, we\'d be back at my place eatin\' nachos and watchin\' MST3K!&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:2lfp9pyb]Sssshhhh!!![/i:2lfp9pyb]&quot; Greg hissed again, more insistently.  &quot;I\'m trying to concentrate here!&quot;\n\nMark shook his head and rolled his eyes as his so-called friend continued trying to pick the lock as if he really knew what he was doing.  Deciding to ignore the proceedings altogether, he took a few steps away, sat down on the hood of their car, and looked up at the clear night sky.  At least, he looked up at the small sliver of clear night sky he could see between the buildings looming overhead.\n\nThe suburb of Lawndale didn\'t put out as much light pollution as the city it was attached to, and except for the Zon most of Dega Street was dark, but even still it was sometimes hard to see the stars overhead.  The alleyway Mark and Greg were standing in seemed to block out some of that, however, allowing Mark to see a little more of the soft twinkling lights, the red and blue blinking of a plane passing by, the dark shadow hanging over the edge of-\n\nMark blinked in surprise.  The shadow was gone.  He rattled his head around to clear it, then decided he was probably just seeing things.  Nerves.  That was all it was.  The fear of getting caught.\n\n&quot;Could ya hurry it the hell up?&quot; he asked, the normal harsh edge in his voice getting even harsher.\n\nA click and the soft pneumatic whine of the back door to the Funky Doodle being opened caused him to turn around and gape.  He hadn\'t actually expected it to happen, but there it was.  They were in.  Greg slipped his lockpicking tools into his pocket and grinned like the proverbial canary-eating cat.\n\n&quot;Oh, I think I can oblige,&quot; he said just before the front of his jacket exploded in a spray of green.  &quot;Ow!  [i:2lfp9pyb]Shit![/i:2lfp9pyb]&quot;\n\nMark stared in confusion as Greg put his hand under the green splatter and rubbed at the suddenly sore spot on his chest.  Before he could get out a &quot;What the hell was that?&quot; he was hit in the back of the head by something small, hard, wet, and all kinds of stinging.\n\n&quot;[i:2lfp9pyb]Fuck![/i:2lfp9pyb]&quot; he swore as he stumbled forward.  Reaching back he gingerly touched the spot where he had been hit.  His hand came back smeared with red, making his heart skip a beat.  After a second\'s thought, however, he put the stuff up to his nose and sniffed.  &quot;Paint!&quot; he yelled angrily, looking over at Greg.  &quot;It\'s [i:2lfp9pyb]paint![/i:2lfp9pyb]&quot;\n\n&quot;Who the hell would be . . . &quot;\n\nGreg trailed off and looked upward, his jaw slack with shock.  Mark felt a creeping sensation along his spine when he realized that his buddy was looking directly up where he thought he had seen the shadow just moments before.  Slowly he turned his head to look up too, and he just managed to catch a fleeting glimpse of the shape before it disappeared again.\n\nBefore either one of them could formulate an appropriate response, the shape reappeared and leaped from the roof of the short building, plummeted down into the alley, and landed squarely on the roof of their car, denting it and cracking all of the windows with the force of impact.\n\nIt was a girl.  A young girl by the looks of it, wearing a mostly denim outfit.  She crouched on the car\'s roof, every muscle tensed in preparation, looking almost like a tiger ready to strike.  A paintball gun hung from her shoulders by a heavy duty strap, and her face was completely concealed by a paintball mask.\n\n&quot;What in the-&quot;\n\nShe sprang from the roof, landed on the hood, and then raised her gun to spray both would-be thieves with a hail of paintballs.  They raised their arms to protect their faces, leaving the rest of them exposed to every stinging slap of the balls\' unforgiving concussive power.\n\nAfter what seemed like an eternity, the rain of paint finally came to an end, and they heard a clattering sound come from her direction.  Carefully, slowly, they lowered their arms to see that she had discarded her gun onto the bowed roof of their car and was simply standing there, staring down at them.\n\n&quot;Get the bitch!&quot; Greg yelled, and Mark readily complied.  Rushing forward with a snarl to grab her legs, he suddenly found himself heading in a different direction entirely when her foot snapped up and cracked him in the side of the head.  He staggered to the side, clutching his temple and in too much pain to even swear properly.\n\nNot one to learn from his buddy\'s mistakes, Greg bellowed and threw his heftier weight into a similar charge toward the small girl.  He reached her position and clamped down with his beefy arms, but all he caught was air.  Something landed on top of his head and his neck compressed painfully.\n\nIt wasn\'t until the weight went away and she dropped lightly to the ground behind him that he realized she had just used him as an impromptu stepping stone.  He went to stand up straight and turn to face her, but he flopped down onto the hood of the car after she planted a foot in the small of his back, sending a shiver of pain down his spine and into his pelvis.\n\nMark, meanwhile, had finally recovered from the shoe to the head and had maneuvered around to grab the girl from behind, locking her arms down in a bear hug.\n\n&quot;I got the bitch!&quot; he yelled.  &quot;I got her!&quot;\n\nGreg picked himself up and rubbed his back as he turned and fixed her with a furious glare.  &quot;Alright, honey,&quot; he growled as he advanced on her.  &quot;I\'ve had just about enough oooooOOOOF!&quot;\n\nAll of the air was expelled from his lungs when she picked up both her legs and kicked him in the gut.  As he stumbled back against the car again, she landed her left foot and stomped down with her right, catching Mark at the knee and then scraping all the way down to tromp on his instep.\n\nHe screamed but didn\'t let go, so she reached up, gripped one of his fingers, and pried it back the wrong way as further incentive.  Blinded by pain as one of the joints began to give way, he loosened his grip and tried to get away.  Unfortunately for him, she kept her hold on his finger and pulled it and him back her way, jumping up in the air as she did so.\n\nThe lensplate of the paintball mask smashed down into his face.  He screamed again as the cartilage in his nose fractured and blood began to pour down the front of his face in a warm torrent.  Mark flopped to the ground, squealing and holding his nose, no longer an immediate threat.\n\nShe turned to Greg, who was just beginning to recuperate from her kick but showed absolutely no sign of wanting to continue the fight after seeing what had happened to his partner in crime.  He tried to back away but ended up simply bending himself backward over the front of the car, cringing and holding his arms up as a weak defense.\n\nLoose rocks and asphalt crunched under her shoes as she approached.  She stopped right in front of him, leaned over him menacingly, and then simply stood there, staring.  He peered up at her fearfully and noticed that the mask\'s wide lens had the tiniest of cracks in it, right over a small smear of Mark\'s blood.\n\nBut as terrifying as that was, he could also just barely see through the lens itself in the dim light.  He could see that her eyes were closed, but she was still staring down at him as if she could see not just him, but [i:2lfp9pyb]through[/i:2lfp9pyb] him, into the car and the ground and everything beyond.\n\nHe nearly passed out when it dawned on him that the little girl who had just beaten the shit out of him and his friend had been asleep the entire time.\n\n&quot;I . . . I\'m sorry!&quot; he whined pleadingly.  &quot;We\'ll never do it again!  I promise!&quot;\n\nShe stood up straight, apparently satisfied.  Walking around him, she picked up her paintball gun and stalked out of the alley to disappear into the night.\n\nGreg waited several minutes just to be sure she was really gone.  Then, as quickly as he could manage, he relocked the door to the Funky Doodle, slammed it shut, and helped Mark up and into the car before peeling rubber out of there.\n\n***\n\nAn insistent buzzing filled the air, forcing Stacy out of her slumber, albeit grudgingly.  She slapped the alarm off, sat up, and stretched out her aching muscles with a grunt of consternation.\n\nEvery morning for the past week had been exactly the same.  Her mind would feel refreshed, alert, and ready for the day after a few moments, but her body felt like a single huge wad of pain.  It had worried her at first.  She had even considered going to her parents and asking to go to the doctor over it, but each morning she seemed to be less and less sore, much like what had happened when she had first started doing her daily exercises to keep under the regulation Fashion Club weight limit.\n\n[i:2lfp9pyb]In fact,[/i:2lfp9pyb] she thought as she stood up and tried to stretch out a few more of the kinks, [i:2lfp9pyb]it seems like I\'m getting a little more tone lately, even though I haven\'t been exercising any more than usual . . . [/i:2lfp9pyb]\n\nDismissing the thought, she walked over to her closet and opened it to gather up her outfit for the day.  The first item she grabbed was her denim jacket, but she immediately held it back out at arm\'s length.  Pulling it back in slightly, she sniffed in and then stared at it, confused.\n\nFor some odd reason, it smelled like paint.\n\nShaking her head, she threw the jacket in the direction of her hamper.  It would probably be a warm enough day anyway, so she grabbed up her shorts and no-sleeve top, threw them on the bed, and then reached up to grab a towel for her morning shower when another oddity caught her eye.\n\nNext to the towels on the shelf in her closet sat her paintball mask.  Right above the nose guard in the very center of the wide lens, there was a tiny vertical crack where she was reasonably certain that there hadn\'t been one before.  She grumbled in frustration, wondering idly as she resumed her towel-grabbing if she could buff it out, replace just the lens, or if she would need to get a whole new mask.\n\nYes, it was just a silly old mask, but that was no reason to let appearances slip.  Appearances were all too important, especially considering just how many different appearances she was having to keep up with.\n\nWith a soft sigh, she walked off toward the bathroom, leaving the mask behind for the moment.  Minor mysteries and inconveniences would have to wait.  She had a busy day ahead.\n\nBut that was okay.  She could handle it.\n\n[b:2lfp9pyb]END[/b:2lfp9pyb]\n\nRoland \'Jim\' Lowery\nMarch 2, 2011','f88c800e067bbc65562b3532b533b764',0,'cQ==','2lfp9pyb',1,0,'',0,0,0),(464425,31950,4,251,0,'75.111.21.37',1299106792,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: I guess Sharia Law IS in the U.S.','[img:iqm9q5r2]http&#58;//img402&#46;imageshack&#46;us/img402/589/waronwoemen&#46;jpg[/img:iqm9q5r2]','db751f3aa17a59ed5436085b2e49779d',0,'CA==','iqm9q5r2',1,0,'',0,0,0),(464426,32086,4,251,0,'75.111.21.37',1299107241,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Piers Morgan Defends Charlie Sheen','[quote=&quot;MJPollard&quot;:3prjy0ln]Sheen\'s displaying all the classic signs of an in-denial addict.

She called for room service, then showered and dressed in slacks and a plain blue blouse.  \n\nAfter a cup of coffee and a small breakfast, she kept herself occupied by unpacking her suitcase.  She paused when she got to her pills, then stuck them behind a few other things on the bathroom counter and tried to pretend they weren\'t there.  Finally, she decided to seek out whatever amenities had been planned for her that day.\n\nFirst was a facial, and the chatter of the girl assigned to her helped keep Erin from resuming her thoughts from the previous day.  After that, however, was the least relaxing massage she\'d ever had. \n\n[i:2dvtt4t3]I guess I knew even when he proposed that he didn\'t love me,[/i:2dvtt4t3] she thought as the masseuse worked in silence.  [i:2dvtt4t3]But he was the best I was likely to get after...well.  I wasn\'t sure I loved him, either, but maybe I hoped we\'d fall in love with each other at some point.  By the time I found out that all we had in common was an STD, we were already married.[/i:2dvtt4t3]\n\n&quot;Stress?&quot; the masseuse asked softly, and Erin realized she been unconsciously tightening her muscles.  She made an effort to relax, distracting herself by watching the flickering candlelight, and the masseuse continued.\n\n[i:2dvtt4t3]But is divorce the right choice?  I wonder what Grandma said when she found out.  Mother never told me what happened when she called her.  I know Grandma didn\'t like Brian anyway, but she hates divorce, too.  She hit the roof when Mother split from her second husband.  That\'s probably why Mother just dates a lot now.[/i:2dvtt4t3]\n\nErin winced at a sudden twinge when the masseuse pressed too hard on a tense spot.  Trying again to relax, she decided to clear her mind completely.  It lasted about thirty seconds.\n\n[i:2dvtt4t3]Oh, God.  What if I end up like her, though?  What if I just dump guys every time we have a little trouble?  I mean, if I can\'t make this relationship work, who says I can make the next one work, either?[/i:2dvtt4t3]  The pill bottle flickered through her thoughts.  [i:2dvtt4t3]If there even will be a next one.[/i:2dvtt4t3]\n\nThe masseuse paused in her work with a quiet &quot;tsk,&quot; and Erin started mentally screaming the lyrics to &quot;Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star&quot; to force herself to stop thinking and relax.\n\n\n\nShe returned to the lobby after the massage, where the receptionist checked Erin\'s schedule.  &quot;We have you set for a body wrap next, ma\'am.&quot;\n\n&quot;Can I reschedule it?&quot;  She was too worked up to enjoy it now.  \n\n&quot;Of course, ma\'am.  Tomorrow morning at ten o\'clock?&quot;\n\n&quot;Okay.&quot;  Erin checked her watch and decided on an early dinner.  [i:2dvtt4t3]Preferably with a glass of wine or three.[/i:2dvtt4t3]\n\nShe sat in the in-house restaurant, a spacious room filled with sparkling chandeliers and quiet piano music, and studied her menu.  A spa employee approached her and said in a low voice, &quot;Ms. Chambers, there is a gentlemen in the lobby who is asking to speak with you.  He says his name is Jason.  What would you like me to do?&quot;\n\nErin thought about it.  &quot;Let him come in,&quot; she replied.  [i:2dvtt4t3]I need a distraction.  Any distraction.[/i:2dvtt4t3]\n\nThe employee nodded politely and left.  A few minutes later, he returned with the tall, skinny man from the plane, who sat down but hesitated to accept a menu.  Erin waved a hand.  &quot;Don\'t worry; meals are included in my package.  I\'ll cover it.&quot;\n\nJason took the menu and smiled at her.  &quot;Thanks.&quot;  Once they\'d ordered and the two were alone, he leaned forward.  &quot;So, how\'s the spa visit been going?&quot;\n\n&quot;Fine,&quot; she said, then took a nervous sip of her wine.\n\nHe blinked at the short response.  &quot;Well, has it been relaxing?  Take your mind off...stuff?&quot;\n\n&quot;Not really.&quot;  Erin looked down at the table.  [i:2dvtt4t3]Some distraction he turned out to be.[/i:2dvtt4t3]\n\nThey sat in silence for awhile before Jason finally spoke again.  &quot;What\'s wrong?  Normally you\'re so chatty.&quot;\n\n&quot;Normally?&quot; Erin asked with a puzzled look.  &quot;We only met yesterday!&quot;\n\nJason\'s blue eyes widened innocently as he chuckled.  &quot;Yeah, but I think we had about six months\' worth of conversation on the plane.&quot;\n\nErin finally gave him a small smile.  &quot;Well, one of us did, anyway.&quot;\n\nHe nodded.  &quot;I guess that means it\'s my turn to be the talker, then.&quot;  He leaned back into his chair and thought for a moment.  &quot;Okay.  You already know my name is Jason.  I\'m also twenty-seven, I run my own computer business, I like to play basketball in my spare time, I have a dog named Sparky, I\'m trying to learn to play the guitar, and, uh...I\'m a Pisces.&quot;  He raised an eyebrow.  &quot;How\'s that for a start?&quot;\n\nGlad to have something to focus on besides her own problems, Erin giggled.  &quot;Pretty good.  Do you have any family?&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'ve got one brother, but I don\'t see him much.  Too busy with work.  You didn\'t say yesterday; do you have any brothers or sisters?&quot;\n\nShe shook her head.  &quot;Nope.  Just me on my own.&quot;\n\n&quot;With your mom and grandma.&quot;  He smiled.  &quot;Sounds like they\'re pretty good to you.&quot;\n\nErin paused.  &quot;I guess.&quot;\n\n&quot;They flew you first class to an expensive Swiss spa.  That\'s got to count for something, right?&quot;  \n\n&quot;You mean they sent me away so they wouldn\'t have to deal with my problems.&quot;  Erin\'s hand flew to her mouth, but it was too late.  The words had poured out before she could stop herself.\n\n&quot;I...well...I didn\'t—&quot;\n\n&quot;No, I\'m sorry.  I shouldn\'t have said that.&quot;  [i:2dvtt4t3]I didn\'t even realize I was thinking it until now.[/i:2dvtt4t3]\n\nJason didn\'t seem to know what to say, and Erin was afraid to speak in case more bitter comments slipped out.  Both were relieved when a waiter arrived shortly after with their food, breaking the awkward silence.  \n\nThey ate without comment for a few minutes, until Jason set down his knife.  &quot;Was it true?&quot;\n\nErin looked up, startled.  &quot;What?&quot;\n\n&quot;What you said about your family.  Is that how they treat you?&quot;\n\nShe sighed.  [i:2dvtt4t3]Too late to take it back.  Might as well go the full distance.[/i:2dvtt4t3]  &quot;Kind of.  They mean well, I think, but it\'s like there\'s this unspoken rule that we don\'t talk about problems.  We ignore them or we spend enough money to make them go away, and then we all pretend like nothing happened.&quot;  She nudged a piece of carrot around her plate with her fork.  &quot;And that\'s [i:2dvtt4t3]in[/i:2dvtt4t3] the family.  I can only imagine how much they\'d freak out if they knew I was telling a complete stranger about this.&quot;\n\nJason winced.  &quot;I\'d like to think I\'m not a [i:2dvtt4t3]complete[/i:2dvtt4t3] stranger.&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh...I suppose not.&quot;  She laughed, but it sounded hollow.  &quot;In fact, you\'re probably the closest thing I\'ve ever had to a friend.&quot;  She thought about all of the back-stabbing debutantes and sycophantic wannabes she\'d put up with.  &quot;A real friend.&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m glad to hear it.&quot;  He reached across the table to put his hand on hers.  &quot;Seriously, that means a lot to me.&quot;\n\nHe looked like he wanted to say something else, but the topic was getting hard for Erin to bear.  &quot;I hope you don\'t mind,&quot; she said before he could speak, &quot;but I\'m not really that hungry anymore.&quot;\n\n&quot;Me either.&quot;  Jason hopped out of his seat and stepped around the table to pull Erin\'s chair out as she stood.  &quot;Got something special planned at the spa next?&quot;\n\nShe frowned.  &quot;No.  I think I\'d rather just go back to my room for now.&quot;  She looked at him.  &quot;Would you walk with me?  I understand if you\'ve got business stuff to take care of—&quot;\n\n&quot;Nah,&quot; he said.  &quot;Anyway, I figure it\'s my responsibility to try and cheer you up before I leave.  Since it\'s mostly my fault you\'re upset.&quot;  When Erin started to protest, he shook his head.  &quot;I\'m the one who got all nosy and made you lose your appetite.  I bet you a cup of coffee I can make you laugh by the time you get back to your room.&quot;\n\nShe raised her eyebrows, fighting a small smile at his mock-challenging tone.  &quot;You\'re on.&quot;','e8c353b77d7d3bfd1c4fca61004dfdc9',0,'IA==','2dvtt4t3',1,0,'',0,0,0),(464436,32087,6,30,0,'174.74.119.203',1299111841,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: GStE Mini - Terror on Dega Street (COMPLETE)','[quote=&quot;Jim North&quot;:kxewar98][quote=&quot;Kristen Bealer&quot;:kxewar98]And then Mark and Greg went home to finally watch MST3K, right?[/quote:kxewar98]\nYes.\n\n[i:kxewar98]But there were no nachos![/i:kxewar98][/quote:kxewar98]\n\n <!-- s:( --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif\" alt=\":(\" title=\"Sad\" /><!-- s:( --> \n\nKristen','78118cfa3506f759987fd3c8a862a12c',0,'oA==','kxewar98',1,0,'',0,0,0),(464437,31723,6,1218,0,'67.190.3.128',1299111849,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: World\'s Shortest Crossover','I haven\'t recognized the past few of these, aside from the slew of The Ring parodies (all of which have been fantastic, btw  <!-- s8) --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif\" alt=\"8)\" title=\"Cool\" /><!-- s8) --> )\nHopefully this will be a bit more recognizable...\n---\n&quot;I can assure you I mean you no harm.&quot; It was a nasally voice, but masked behind a painted broad smile.

The Mayan calender gave out and the whole world came to an end. But we got through it because the people who brought it about had failed to withhold for taxes and the world was seized by the IRS before it self destructed and disappeared. So a new calender was started in Guatemala and things returned to normal. But important lessons were learned at each and every level of human society. So, you see, Stacy, when the world ends, it\'s not a question of where will you be … You need to address the more important question: What will you wear? You need to know how to dress for disaster.

It got so intense, I wound up covering my entire body in polyester burkas just so I could keep in full body contact with it.

Daria, earbuds firmly in place, was lost in Beethoven’s 5th Symphony.\n“It was dead already, sweetheart,” Jake said. “Just like the others.”\n“Jane?” Helen asked, trying to keep hope out of her voice. “Have you heard from your parents yet?”\n“Trent managed to get ahold of the family that’s hosting Dad in Iraq, but the town was evacuated before he could talk to him. As for mom, apparently she moved on to Reykjavik a few months back. He’s trying to make contact up there. I’m really sorry about this, Mrs. Morgendorffer. I know it’s a burden on you having me here.”\n“Jane-O, don’t you worry about it,” Jake said. “We took you in because we knew how bad it would be for you if we didn’t.”\nJane smiled sadly, then looked out the window thoughtfully.\n\nOn the way home that night, Quinn was still in an uproar.\n“Little snot-nosed brat! How could they not have any tissues in the house?! The kid was dripping….EW!”\nDaria and Jane followed her slowly upstairs. Once they were alone, Jake and Helen sat on the couch and talked softly.\n“All that talk about college really got me thinking, Helen,” Jake said.\n“I know,” Helen sighed. “Honestly, what I’m thinking about most is the chance that we’ll end up paying for Jane’s college too, at this rate.”\n“I’m sure the Lanes will be back eventually, but we do need to start getting the girls ready for college. Daria won’t have the same support system there that she does at home, and Quinn….well, I honestly don’t know what will happen once she’s on her own.”\n“I saw a flyer for a college prep course that the high school is doing this week. Maybe we could sign the girls up for that.”\n“Not a bad idea,” Jake said, then looked at the stairs. “I just hope that the girls will be able to handle the idea.”\n“Of a prep course?”\n“Of being without us.”\n\nThe instructor droned on to the class, which had more familiar faces than Daria would have thought.\n“Today\'s admission standards are more rigorous than ever, which is why”\n“Can we get on with this?” Jane sighed, already bored with the class.\n“Ok, ok. Topic one: Testing, You have to know how to take a test. Like, when you get a multiple-choice question, you can usually eliminate two of the answers right off.”\n“Excuse me, sir?” Brittany squeaked. “Does that work with true/false?”\nThe instructor sighed as he handed out a worksheet, frowning as he noticed that Daria had her earbuds in.\n“Excuse me,” he said. When she didn’t answer, he pulled the earbuds out.\n“Damn it, what?!” Daria snapped at him.\n“You don’t need to be listening to music while I’m teaching this class.”\n“All you’ve taught me is that it’s a good thing my mom kept the receipt when she paid for it, although how I’ll get three hours of my life refunded, I don’t know.”\nJane leaned over and gently squeezed Daria’s hand.\n“Daria, it’s ok,” she said softly. “The man is just trying to do his job.”\n“Sorry,” Daria sighed, turning off her MP3 player.\n“Anyway,” he continued, “this is an informational sheet Push Comes to Love sends around to 600 leading colleges. It\'s called My Personal Goals and Aspirations.”\n“Daria, what did you get for number one?” Kevin whispered to her when the instructor had walked past them.”\n“The thing about ‘Who I Really Am?’”\n“Yeah.”\n“Try ‘inbred.’”\n“Thanks, man! I owe you one!”\n\nLater, as the man droned on, Daria felt herself slip into a daydream of what college could be like.\n\n[i:220dovxp]A big smile on her face, Daria walked into her English class.\n“Daria! We’re so glad you’re here!” her professor called out as the class all smiled at her.\n“Hey babe,” a voice called out. She turned and saw her tall, handsome boyfriend standing in the doorway. “Just letting you know the reservations for dinner are at 7. I’ll pick you up at your room.”\n“Ok, babe,” she said with a widening grin as she gave him a longing kiss and sat down at her desk.[/i:220dovxp]\n\nShaking her head, she cleared the fantasy from her head and felt her anger give way for a moment to an equally familiar feeling: depression.\n“Damn you, GrandDad,” she muttered to herself.','17db117f7bc57451de37318c66289c36',0,'YA==','220dovxp',1,1299291368,'',1151,4,0),(464469,32088,6,1070,0,'207.200.116.136',1299117884,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Iron Chef: Addicted to &quot;being special&quot;','Exclusive on TMZ:  Ex-pro cheerleader and Playboy Bunny Brittany Taylor has moved into Charlie Sheen\'s home to be his third girlfriend &quot;Goddess&quot; .

She gave him a sweet smile and asked, “Where’d you go, honey?”\n“Had to clear my head,” he said softly, staring at her. She took a bite of pizza and asked, “What’s on your mind?”\n“What exactly happened between you and Daria that day?” he asked, his face impassive.\n“What day?” she asked.\n“The day Daria hit you. What were you two talking about?”\n“I don’t remember,” she said, taking a drink of her soda.\nBullshit” Mack said in the same tone of voice he would have used to request a refill on his soda. “You don’t forget anything. Ever. So, what were you two talking about?”\nJodie sighed. “I told her to stay away from you.”\nMack blinked. “Why?”\n“Because I was afraid she would take you away from me,” Jodie said in a soft voice, hanging her head.\n“So, you let me harass and torment an innocent girl because you were jealous?” Mack said, his tone steady, his eyes blazing.\n“I just….I thought I was going to lose you because of her, Mack,” she whispered.\n“Well, you thought wrong,” Mack said, smiling at her. She looked up and saw his smile turn cold. “You lost me because of [i:1vcqhv84]yourself[/i:1vcqhv84].” With that, he got up and walked out of the Pizza Prince without looking back. Jodie lowered her head again as her tears began to fall.\n\nThe next morning found Jodie stalking through the halls of Lawndale High. She saw Daria reaching into her locker, waited patiently for her to close the door.\nAs soon as she heard the clang, she charged, slamming Daria face-first into the locker and screaming, “YOU DID THIS!!! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!”\nThe crowds in the hallway parted, giving space to the two girls. Daria, enraged, tried to push off of the locker, but Jodie kept her pinned, slamming her face into the door with every word she screamed.\n“I!” [i:1vcqhv84][b:1vcqhv84]SLAM[/b:1vcqhv84][/i:1vcqhv84] “TOLD!” [b:1vcqhv84][i:1vcqhv84]SLAM[/i:1vcqhv84][/b:1vcqhv84] “YOU!” [i:1vcqhv84][b:1vcqhv84]SLAM[/b:1vcqhv84][/i:1vcqhv84] “TO!” [i:1vcqhv84][b:1vcqhv84]SLAM[/b:1vcqhv84][/i:1vcqhv84] “STAY!” [i:1vcqhv84][b:1vcqhv84]SLAM[/b:1vcqhv84][/i:1vcqhv84] “AWAY!” [i:1vcqhv84][b:1vcqhv84]SLAM[/b:1vcqhv84][/i:1vcqhv84] “FROM!” [i:1vcqhv84][b:1vcqhv84]SLAM[/b:1vcqhv84][/i:1vcqhv84] “HIM!” [i:1vcqhv84][b:1vcqhv84]SLAM[/b:1vcqhv84][/i:1vcqhv84]\nJodie felt Daria go limp and let go of her, letting her drop to the floor. She was shocked at how much blood was on Daria’s face and locker. Her anger unabated, she kicked Daria hard in the ribs. When Daria didn’t even flinch, she screamed and kicked her again.\n“Hey bitch!” Jodie turned in time to see the fist that connected with her face, breaking her nose. Blinded with pain, she failed to block the boot that caught her square in the chest. Winded, she slammed back against Daria’s locker, and was thrown to the floor hard. She felt someone sit on her chest, and then a flurry of punches rained down on her face. An inarticulate scream of rage filled the hallway as the pummeling continued, until finally someone dragged her attacker off.\nOpening her eyes, Jodie could vaguely make out Jane being held back by some red-head. Her vision blurred by two black eyes and tears of agony, she saw Jane pick up Daria as one might pick up a baby, then go running for the nurse’s office.\n“Thank you,” Jodie said between gasps as she tried to stand, but she felt two hands pull her to her feet.\n“You hurt my sister,” the red-head said stoically, then shoved Jodie back as hard as she could. As Jodie once again slammed into a locker, she saw a fist coming at her face, then a flash of white, then all was black.\n\n[i:1vcqhv84]‘Michael Mackenzie, report to Ms. Li’s office immediately.’[/i:1vcqhv84]\n\nSitting in front of Ms. Li’s desk, Mack had no idea what he had been called to the office for. Trying not to show any fear, he sat still as Ms. Li read over a stack of papers, then turned to him.\n“Mr. Mackenzie, you have a rather exceptional record here at Laaaaaawwwndaaaaaalle Hiiiiiiiigh, don’t you?”\n“I guess so?” he said, cringing as he realized it had come out as a question.\n“You have the highest GPA of any athlete in school history and haven’t had to avail yourself of any byes –I mean, assistance- from the faculty to maintain that GPA. In fact, you have the fourth highest GPA in school at this time.”\n“Ms. Li, what exactly did you want to talk to me about?” Mack said, feeling slightly bolder.\n“Mr. Mackenzie, I should hope that a student with your abilities would be able to help his girlfriend in times of crisis.”\n“What do you mean?” Mack said, feeling a chill run through his body.\n“Ms. Landon and Ms. Morgendorffer were involved in an…. a[i:1vcqhv84]ltercation[/i:1vcqhv84] shortly before first period. As the boyfriend of the highest GPA in school, you have certain [i:1vcqhv84]responsibilities[/i:1vcqhv84] to ensure that Ms. Landon is taken care of. You should be making sure that Ms. Landon is not involved in [i:1vcqhv84]incidents[/i:1vcqhv84] like this, especially as the head of the Student Body, amongst her numerous other duties.”\n“Ms. Li, Jodie and I aren’t dating anymore, first of all. Second of all, what exactly was [i:1vcqhv84]I[/i:1vcqhv84] supposed to do? Third of all, if Jodie is the highest, and I’m the fourth, I’ve just got to know who’s in between us,” Mack said, ending with a smug smile.\nMs. Li grumbled, “The second and third highest GPAs are Daria Morgendorffer and Dawn Harris, respectively. As for your other question, [i:1vcqhv84]you[/i:1vcqhv84], young man, are supposed to be ensuring that nobody causes Ms. Landon any grief or any bodily harm. Come back here!”\nMack slammed the door in response.\n\nJane sat in her English class, grumbling under her breath. Her suspension had been revoked when it was learned that she was protecting Daria, [i:1vcqhv84](Thank you, Helen!)[/i:1vcqhv84] and her duties now included bringing Daria’s homework to her every night. Fortunately, with the exception of Math, they had all their classes together, so she could just pass on her notes.\n“Jane?” Mr. O’Neill asked softly as she snapped out of her enraged reverie to notice that the bell had rung and she was still sitting at her desk.\n“Oh, sorry,” she said, gathering up her notes and shoving them into her backpack, wincing as her raw knuckles ached at the movement.\n“If you ever need someone to talk to, Jane,” Mr. O’Neill began, but Jane cut him off quickly.\n“I really need to get going,” Jane said quickly, rushing for the door.\n“Jane? You forgot something,” Mr. O’Neill said as he held out a large box of chocolate bars. “Good luck out there raising funds for the coffee house!”','b3c3f174c2f3dc7fc69e90907a162ffa',0,'YA==','1vcqhv84',1,1305863088,'',1151,1,0),(465380,32129,6,1151,0,'206.126.163.20',1299563592,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Here Without You (OneShot)','In her dorm room at Raft, Daria lay on her bed counting the cracks in the ceiling. It had been almost 3 months since she had moved to Boston, and Jane had been unable to visit during that time. She was working two jobs to save up enough money to see her through after her parents had been unable to give any assistance with her tuition at BFAC.\nNext week, Daria would be going home for Christmas break, but Jane had already confirmed she would be too busy to come over, with a double shift waitressing on Christmas Eve.\nSighing, Daria leaned over and clicked on the radio.\n\n[i:174tbnau]‘Hey everyone, this is Diana on the late night, bringing you the best soft songs. This one goes out…”\n\n“to everyone who’s away from that special someone tonight.”[/i:174tbnau]\n\nJane turned the volume up on her radio as she added a detail to a Monet reproduction. As much as she hated the job, she needed the money ever since her mom had revealed that any savings that the Lanes had once had was lost when Wind’s child support checks started to bounce again. Financial Aid only went so far for a C+ student.\n\n[i:174tbnau]‘A hundred days have made me older\nSince the last time that I saw your pretty face’[/i:174tbnau]\n\nInstantly, her thoughts turned to Daria, who hadn’t emailed her in almost a week, what with the chaos of finals.\n\n[i:174tbnau]‘A thousand lies have made me colder\nAnd I don’t think I can look at this the same.’[/i:174tbnau]\n\nA rush of memories struck, mainly about the time when Daria had inadvertently stolen Jane’s boyfriend.

It had been taken the day she left for Boston, and despite Jane’s grin the pain was evident on her face.\n\n[i:174tbnau]‘The miles just keep rolling\nAs the people leave their way to say hello,\nI’ve heard this life is overrated\nBut I hope that it gets better as we go’[/i:174tbnau]\n\nThe tears were now falling freely from Daria’s eyes as she thought of how lonely her life had been, so few friends, until at long last she met Jane.\n\n[i:174tbnau]‘I’m here without you, baby,\nBut you’re still on my lonely mind\nI think about you, baby,\nAnd I dream about you all the time\nI’m here without you, baby,\nBut you’re still with me in my dreams,\nAnd tonight, it’s only you and me’[/i:174tbnau]\n\nJane dropped her brush and palette, oblivious to the paint now staining her carpet.

As her thumb hovered over the speed-dial for Jane, she glanced at the clock, realizing it was after midnight in Lawndale.\n‘[i:174tbnau]To hell with it[/i:174tbnau],’ she thought, stabbing the button with her finger.\n\nJane answered on the first ring.\n“Hello?”\n“Jane?”\n“Daria!”\nIn the moment of silence that followed, they could each hear the same song playing in the background, saying what each was thinking.\n\n[i:174tbnau]‘I’m here without you, baby,\nBut you’re still on my lonely mind\nI think about you, baby,\nAnd I dream about you all the time\nI’m here without you, baby,\nBut you’re still with me in my dreams,\nAnd tonight, it’s only you and me’[/i:174tbnau]','a7c47bf5465243dd1ccb45ce616eee26',0,'IA==','174tbnau',1,0,'',0,0,0),(465381,32130,3,995,0,'123.3.225.151',1299563726,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','SSW: Health beats Wealth','And in in my minds eye I see Jared staning over a knocked out Ronald McDonald\n\n<!-- m --><a class=\"postlink\" href=\"http://au.finance.yahoo.com/news/Subway-beats-McDonald-store-aap-1510288620.html?x=0\">http://au.finance.yahoo.com/news/Subway ... 0.html?x=0</a><!-- m -->','2cdbd6bb79d7890e936e5f46ec89693e',0,'','1x4m4otl',1,0,'',0,0,0),(465382,32125,5,1203,0,'216.160.146.91',1299564059,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Thundercats Trailer','Was always sad that I never was able to get into the original Thundercats.

Suddenly, I see just how rosy and free my wonderful world can be...&quot;\n\n \n\nRoger\'s fingers drummed against the keyboard. This was interesting. Quinn and Sandi in the hospital together. He\'d had Sandi die once of a cocaine overdose, and Quinn had been left in a vegetative state after a car wreck, but never had both been laid up at once. Hmmm. He began to think about how that could come about. World disasters had been overdone, but there was that eta Carinae hypernova idea in which Stacy Rowe becomes the Road Warrior and finds Sandi left to die out in the open somewhere during daylight, with UV-B sleeting in through the nonexistent ozone layer, and... no, then Quinn wouldn\'t be there, too. Too much of coincidence, and he still wanted to use Stacy for the Road Warrior thing mixed with the Viking end of the world--&quot; \'Rok and Rowe.&quot; So Quinn and Sandi would have to be.... well, they could have been hit by a train. Or be in a plane crash. No, something different.\n\nHis fingers drummed. It would have to be bad. Really bad. But he still had to finish the Quinn as Spy story, or else Lawndale Stalker and Kara Wild would have him dumped in the drink. Too bad.\n\nSandi and Quinn in the hospital together... it had potential.[/quote:1rogiy02]\n\n[quote=&quot;TAG&quot;:1rogiy02]Roger came back from dinner in a better mood. He knew he had been on the wrong track all along. Quinn and Sandi weren\'t in the hospital because of something awful that had happened to them. They were in the hospital because of something minor, like food poisoning from a fat-free dressing. They got the same room because they were friends, and the hospital was able to accommodate them. A dreadful horrible thing had not happened to them.\n\nYet.\n\nRoger reached this point after discarding a large number of bad fates for the duo. The asteroid impact idea was useless because there would be no hospitals afterward, so the story idea was moot. The eta Carinae/burned Earth/Road Warrior idea was tabled for Stacy Rowe later. Any other sort of disaster basically demanded the disaster be described first, and that wasn\'t how he wanted to start the story, with hurricanes and tornadoes and floods and nuclear bombs. He wanted Sandi and Quinn in separate beds, looking at Waif magazines or the TV, complaining about being in the hospital and not being catered to as they liked. Even Quinn can\'t get guys to moon after her, because all the guys there are older un-cute guys (yuk!) or are women (doctors, nurses, etc.), and their powers of persuasion are rendered harmless. And they are getting along well, relatively speaking.\n\nSo.... there they are, the beautiful ones, with nothing to do. What happens next?\n\nThen Roger logged in and got back into the proper PPMB thread and read WacoKid\'s idea, which threw him completely off. Oh, man. Where did all the ideas of disaster go? Darn WacoKid, anyway. He always did this to Roger, derailing his train of thought. Roger stopped thinking about the sponge bath, which was funny and rude and did not involve death and dying, and he focused again on making Quinn and Sandi scream. Which could also happen in the sponge bath story, but he wasn\'t going to think about that again. No. Period.\n\nWhat\'s the worst thing that can happen to someone stuck in the hospital? Other than dying during surgery, and it has to be something that can be shared with someone else. Oh, of course. A fire. YES! A fire in the hospital. But not with a lot of other people to crap up the story\'s tension. Their room maybe can be isolated in a wing of the hospital undergoing renovation (he can see it now in his head), and a construction worker leaves equipment on when he goes home for the night, and on the floor below their room, a pressurized tank blows up. Blowtorch, oxygen tank, whatever. Boom. No one is killed, yet, because Sandi and Quinn have a room separated from the rest of the ward because... um... they are so obnoxious, demanding to be waited on hand and foot. That might work. This follows the usual pattern in horror stories of sequestering the victims with unfortunate circumstances (food poisoning) and isolating them physically (remote rooms) and leaving them ill at ease (they are nervous about being in a hospital), then creating a Bad Thing that will follow them. And a fire can do that.\n\nRoger reached for a scrap of paper and made notes. He needed details on Cedars of Lawndale hospital room from &quot;Ill,&quot; and he needed to set the story in series time. After IICY? would be best. Quinn and Sandi should be buds after &quot;Fat Like Me,&quot; but he had to watch IICY? again to be sure. Sandi might still have it in for Stacy, but who cared. He would have to be sure about hospital clothing, procedures, and so on. Maybe they were in the hospital for more than food poisoning, something more serious. People don\'t stay overnight for food poisoning. More thought was required.\n\nIt was stupid to spend so much time thinking up a new story when he had so many in production, and the Quinn as Spy had to go first. But he could not resist, and he knew that wherever they were, Sandi and Quinn would appreciate being thought of. Trying to escape a blazing hospital from an upper floor would provide nice dramatic fanfic roles for them, and he had been thinking about screwing up Sandi\'s life again for some time. This would work.\n\nAs long as WacoKid did not post more of that damn sponge-bath story.[/quote:1rogiy02]\n\n[quote=&quot;TAG&quot;:1rogiy02]As the wet sponge slowly traced its way over Sandi\'s nude body, she shivered.\n\n&quot;Oh, Quinn, that\'s cold.&quot;\n\nQuinn just smiled.\n\n&quot;Maybe this will help warm you up.&quot;\n\nSandi moaned deleriously as Quinn\'s warm breath played against her skin..\n\n \n\n...and that was when the fire broke out in the hospital room right below them.[/quote:1rogiy02]\n\nDaria:  And that marks the end of The Angst Guy\'s Scenes no Daria fanfic should have before taking up the name he is today best remembered by in the fandom.

Although it\'s a slight exaggeration, Patton Oswalt commented on the internet making &quot;everything that ever was, available forever&quot;, which doesn\'t necessarily lead to expanding people\'s minds to more music (as some early commenters had hoped in the internet\'s early days), but nullifies listeners with option paralysis - not even knowing where to start. So instead, people just go along with current trends or reach back to commonly-cited classics like the Beatles. Much like before, in some ways.\n\nFair point about Gaga, too, although I genuinely think [i:2gxedd95]The Fame Monster[/i:2gxedd95] is a great pop album and the woman does have chops. I just think she should tone down the attempts at being &quot;relevant&quot; and provocative and concentrate on developing her talent.[/quote:2gxedd95]\nGaga has much more going for her - musically - than Katy Perry, that\'s for sure. <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D --> We\'ll soon find out what kind of staying power she has, and whether she will be able to evolve as an artist and bring something new to the table.

Maybe someone will dust off a track and sample it or use it in a mix, creating a new context. Maybe not. Who knows what can be brought back as people go crate-digging?\n\nThat Oswalt remark reminds me of something from [url=http&#58;//www&#46;residentadvisor&#46;net/feature&#46;aspx?1276:2gxedd95]an interview Silent Servant did last year[/url:2gxedd95]:\n\n[quote=&quot;Silent Servant&quot;:2gxedd95]You know, everything that you have ever wanted is already here, we live in this information age that if you dig deep enough you will find it.

Their product is so image-oriented and soulless. What really strikes me with Gaga is that discussion of her nearly always revolves around outfits and music videos, as opposed to the music itself.[/quote:2gxedd95]\n\nI think I\'ve heard this conversation before (and even been on your side of the argument, Kvltism). Is Justin Bieber more or less evil than Hanson. Is Lady Gaga more image conscious than Cher, I mean Madonna? [b:2gxedd95]Pop music is what it is. It\'s a distillation (or dumbing down) of whatever the cutting edge of music is.[/b:2gxedd95] Obviously, there\'s much more dangerous and inventive stuff out there than Lady Gaga, but that\'s always been true. Every era has its good and bad music, and its moments where vitality meets popularity.  If we\'re open minding, we can appreciate gems in new styles; if not, we stick to the stuff we love. The world doesn\'t end either way.\n\nBut remember, the grass isn\'t greener on the other side. In 1967, the Summer of Love, the seminal year of rock and roll history, the biggest single and album of the year were &quot;I\'m A Believer&quot; and [i:2gxedd95]More of the Monkees[/i:2gxedd95].[/quote:2gxedd95]\nAbsolutely. And I have no problem with that, generally choosing to look elsewhere to satisfy my needs.\n\nImage isn\'t something you can escape, even outside the realms of pop music. Punk? That style the Sex Pistols helped promote was no accident; Bernie Rhodes approached John Lydon to join the band because of the way he dressed. Metal? That\'s too easy. Disco, house and such? Colourful outfits are the norm. Techno? Austere attire is popular.

For the beginning, I won\'t reveal my name, yet I can give something information.\n\nSo, I live in a country of Finland. If you don\'t know where Finland is, look at the world map, and it\'s roughly in the middle of it, up the north. Just a little bit east from Sweden, and west from Russia. I\'m still in high school, or more specifically in gymnasium. I am seventeen years old, but I\'m going on eighteen after few months.\n\nSo, the question on your lips: Why Daria?\n\nInteresting story. Just a few weeks ago, I got flashback about animation series. Main character was brunette, nerdy looking girl with deadpan face and round glasses. I was too young to remember or even understand Daria when it came from TV (I was something like 4-8 years old when it came from TV, and seriously: I don\'t remember almost nothing from my youth), but still there was something. So I remembered the name Daria and I writ that name on the Google. First hit leaded me to the Wikipedia, and I remembered a little bit more. Then I did something bad, and I downloaded the whole Daria series from the internet. Mostly because Daria DVD Europe release is yet to be under the question mark (and if I undersood right, the American release have region lock).\n\n[i:2zis7p2n]Veni, Vidi, Vici: I came, I saw, I conquered[/i:2zis7p2n]. Damn that was good series to watch. I have to admit, this is one of the best TV series ever made, and the best animated series (congratulations Daria, you got your place from Alfred J. Kwak). Only few cons: It ended so quickly, and aired when I was in the kindergarten.\n\nOkay, Daria ended and I started to figure out the world around Daria. And I was pretty shocked. The world around Daria is very lively. So I started to read fanfics, and some of them are pretty good. Damn good. So I spent whole winter holiday I had last week just readin fan fics, and some of them even made me sob (ehich is pretty rare because I\'m not emotional kind of person).\n\nAfter all of that, I decided to join here. After reading fanfics, I thought I can write my own fanfics too. And besides, I\'m decent drawer. Maybe the latter one is a bit easier to me. I don\'t mean I\'m a bad writer (some people actually think I\'m a good one). It\'s the language barrier. But I can break through, if I concentrate. And if I\'m not completely wrong, some of you actually beta read fanfics. In that case, I think I can produce some fanfics.\n\nAny questions or thoughts?

These two go together, at least over here. People are being urged by advisors that if they are at all capable of it, they should choose hard subjects, not soft ones; academic study, not job training. Physics instead of media studies. PPE instead of business administration. Because when it comes to seeking employment, to have demonstrated that you\'re sufficiently talented and hard-working to get a degree in a hard subject -- what some recruiters will call &quot;a real subject&quot; -- may set you apart from the field.

And the comedy in those strips seems to be it\'s funny because it\'s surprising (though possible), not funny because it\'s true.\n\nStill, men &amp; women aren\'t alien to each other and many similarities exist.  It\'s just the differences are real, too, but subtle enough that it\'s hard to put clearly into words. Further complicating it is that these are GENERAL tendencies with plenty of individual variation and you can find women who are wired more like men and vice versa.\n\nAn example in my observation is that men generally can (and will) differentiate between a relationship and sex whereas women generally will not. This has led to women messing up by sticking with a guy because the sex is good (so in a way similar to men because the sex can become the most important aspect of the relationship) but still viewing it and treating it differently from a man in that they think if the sex is good then the relationship in all other ways must be (or will be) good, even somehow predestined, rather than compartmentalizing it they way men tend to do. (Though I HAVE seen several women stay with guys they know are poison because of the sex, much like Buffy with Spike in s6 BtVS.)  Even plenty of exceptions to this rule aren\'t really exceptions (but I don\'t want to make too big a block of text).\n\nAnd women who turn lesbian after being hetero for a long time are often disappointed that the same problems still exist among lesbian lovers and male lovers, such as those who have a history with abusive &amp; violent guys will probably find abusive &amp; violent lesbians.  Yet for all the similarities there are subtle differences that are felt, like female nesting instincts sometimes leading to [url=http&#58;//www&#46;urbandictionary&#46;com/define&#46;php?term=U-Haul%20Syndrome:2mx0on4b]UHS, or U-Haul Syndrome[/url:2mx0on4b]. This leads to &quot;interesting&quot; problems like 2 lesbians moving in together and becoming financially entangled before one learns of the other\'s serious drug problems. Granted, hets can move in (even marry) in a very short amount of time, too, but it\'s not that common because of the general differences between men &amp; women make it much less likely, and even when it happens it\'s usually not &quot;nesting instincts&quot; on the part of the guy.\n\nI can think of other examples that are subtle but definite.  In some ways it makes it even harder because there\'s so much similarity which makes those subtle differences especially treacherous. (And again, applying the general to the specific is always problematic.)','b34d5dc6cb970b1603a198d193fe3e09',0,'0A==','2mx0on4b',1,0,'',0,0,0),(465512,32100,6,933,0,'63.84.81.41',1299620332,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Iron Chef: Guilty Pleasures Redux','[quote=&quot;Stripey&quot;:2a4nd8w6][quote=&quot;Vukodlak&quot;:2a4nd8w6]I have a vision of Daria being a fan of a daytime soap opera.[/quote:2a4nd8w6]\n\n*saves that idea for future use*[/quote:2a4nd8w6]\n\nI made her a closet Nascar fan.

None of the passengers got into trouble, but the TSA certainly did — big time.\n\nAmtrak Police Chief John O’Connor said he first thought a blog posting about the incident was a joke. When he discovered that the TSA’s VIPR team did at least some of what the blog said, he was livid. He ordered the VIPR teams off Amtrak property, at least until a firm agreement can be drawn up to prevent the TSA from taking actions that the chief said were illegal and clearly contrary to Amtrak policy.\n\n“When I saw it, I didn’t believe it was real,” O’Connor said. When it developed that the posting on an anti-TSA blog was not a joke, “I hit the ceiling.”\n\nVideo of the screening is available at: [url=http&#58;//www&#46;liveleak&#46;com/view?i=208_1298570121:nh0om5ju]www.liveleak.com[/url:nh0om5ju].\n\nO’Connor said the TSA VIPR teams have no right to do more than what Amtrak police do occasionally, which has produced few if any protests and which O’Connor said is clearly within the law and the Constitution. More than a thousand times, Amtrak teams (sometimes including VIPR) have performed security screenings at Amtrak stations. These screenings are only occasional and random, and inspect the bags of only about one in 10 passengers. There is no wanding of passengers and no sterile area. O’Connor said the TSA violated every one of these rules.\n\nA posting in late February to the Transportation Security Administration’s blog, which serves as a public relations tool of the TSA, tried to explain why TSA agents took over the Amtrak station in Savannah. But O’Connor said the “facts” as posted on the TSA blog were incorrect. He said the blog indicated that Amtrak had approved of the operation, but it had not. He called the TSA’s posting on [url=http&#58;//blog&#46;tsa&#46;gov/2011/02/screening-of-passengers-at-savannah&#46;html:nh0om5ju]blog.tsa.gov[/url:nh0om5ju] “inaccurate and insensitive.” As of the time this story was filed, the same posting remained on the blog.\n\nA TSA spokesman said he could not elaborate on the blog posting.\n\nO’Connor said he must take some of the blame because he did not more carefully observe what the VIPR teams were doing. He said the TSA had apologized repeatedly to him, but they must agree to firm restrictions before he will consider allowing them back on Amtrak property.\n\nThe search was first revealed on the blog [url=http&#58;//gizmodo&#46;com/#%215768805/tsa-harasses-9+yo-boy-and-other-train-passengers-after-their-trip:nh0om5ju]gizmodo.com[/url:nh0om5ju].\n\nHowever, that blog got it at least half wrong. The TSA did not, as the blog said, funnel people who arrived by train into the station for a search. [b:nh0om5ju]Instead, the TSA took over the station and posted notes outside saying that anyone who entered would be “subject to mandatory screening.” Those who know the Savannah station realize that it generally is not necessary for anyone arriving or departing by train to go into the station. It is much easier to park the car or be dropped off near the platform.\n\nTherefore, why was the TSA searching only anyone entering the station?[/b:nh0om5ju] It might even be easier to explain why they might have searched everyone. For instance, such questions as, did they have a tip someone was carrying a small atomic bomb? In the end, it is not even possible to discern a reason for what they actually did. Why search only people unfortunate enough to need to enter the station – people who needed to buy tickets, an elderly person who was dropped off and needed a place to sit while waiting, a mom whose infant badly needed a diaper change?[/quote:nh0om5ju]\nSecurity theater at its &quot;best&quot;. <!-- s:bang: --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/wall.jpg\" alt=\":bang:\" title=\"Banghead\" /><!-- s:bang: -->  (Emphasis above mine)\n[quote:nh0om5ju]The group involved is TSA’s VIPR operation, which deals with surface transportation. VIPR is short for “visible intermodal protection and response.” It turns out that VIPR has been far more active than imagined. Teams have searched bus passengers all over the country, have done similar things at train stations, and have even blocked traffic on bridges to search trucks and cars. That even included the busy Chesapeake Bay Bridge near Washington.\n\nThe VIPR teams were rolled out on Dec. 12, 2005, then promptly pulled back two days later when it turned out that no one had informed numerous local governments. It was a fiasco. Several local jurisdictions said they had no interest and opted out, including the Washington Metro system. But teams, moving slowly, have apparently re-infiltrated surface transportation facilities. Unlike the TSA at airports, these teams have access to firepower. Although the TSA is not allowed to carry weapons, some armed Federal Air Marshals have been switched to ground duty.\n\nOne major unanswered question is: why?

So across cultures there\'s a commonality that men and women are expected to behave differently (and also a commonality of male privilege--the manner of speech expected to be reserved to males, despite the differences, still has the higher status), but it manifests in different, and in fact opposite, ways. One can\'t conclude that either direct or indirect modes are direct consequences of the way people are wired (or even that the commonality of male privilege is a direct consequence of the way people are wired).','34fa42b8a79e9e9b62c9631553623b2e',0,'gA==','396bg8aq',1,1299628269,'',1097,1,0),(465529,32092,3,1097,0,'149.171.7.45',1299628217,1,0,1,0,1,1,'','Re: Cluelessness syndrome','[quote=&quot;Quiverwing&quot;:26irdpui]I came across an excerpt from a book that could\'ve been written by Brother Grimace.  :lol: \n\n[quote:26irdpui]Nothing on this planet can compare with a woman’s love—it is kind and compassionate, patient and nurturing, generous and sweet and unconditional.

Without its owner ready to play it.\n\nNow for those who don\'t know, a couple of years ago Collins suffered damaged vertibrae in his upper back which left him unable to play drums, let alone write his own name or even use a towel after taking a shower.\n\nHowever his reason for calling it a day lies more in his domestic situation.\n<!-- m --><a class=\"postlink\" href=\"http://www.philcollins.co.uk/news/breaking-news-message-phil\">http://www.philcollins.co.uk/news/break ... ssage-phil</a><!-- m -->\n\nI saw Genesis in 2007 during their &quot;turn it on again&quot; tour and Phil was top notch, very good voice, thunderous and inspired behind the kit, this was a true performer in action and I was glad to have seen him.\n\nAnd so I figured it time to have a look at his long and destinguished carreer. Note that my picks here aren\'t the usual songs of his, it\'s his more obscure work.\n\nI\'ll start with what probably was the first classic Genesis song, &quot;The Musical box&quot;\n[youtube:n8m2xham]W35wtfcByIY[/youtube:n8m2xham]\nThat song and the album it\'s from &quot;Nursery Cryme&quot; was the first which had Collins as a member of that band and right from the get-go he provided a very recognisable style of drumming and singing to the band. Note also that his voice and Peter Gabriel\'s sound very similar. Iron Maiden Bass player and main songsmith said that &quot;Nursery Cryme&quot; was one of the pivotal albums that inspired him to be a musician and this song shows where Iron maiden got a lot of their stuff from.\n\nWhen Peter Gabriel left the band, Phill stepped up to the mike and with his average Joe looks and clownesque performance quickly established himself as a crowd favorite. He certainly made Gabriel songs like &quot;I know what I like&quot; his own, if only because of how nimble he was with a tambourine.\n[youtube:n8m2xham]eYwDWPv6_rQ[/youtube:n8m2xham]\n\nNow when his former bandmate Peter Gabriel asked Collins to play on his third solo album we got to hear what would become a Phil Collins trademark sound for the very first time: gated drums.\n[youtube:n8m2xham]vAzUh_H7yV0[/youtube:n8m2xham]\n\nAnd those gated drums also played a very prominent role on a song we associate with one of the most notable Daria episodes ever.\n[youtube:n8m2xham]uz5DkTF2RW8[/youtube:n8m2xham]\n\nPhil\'s carreer aside from being a recording artist in his own right was one of producer and he was asked by some big time artists to help out. I already named the gated drums as a Phil Collins trademark but every bit as recognisable was his use of a Yamaha Drum machine (On songs like &quot;Duchess&quot;, &quot;Mama&quot; and of course &quot;In the air tonight&quot;) And Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant liked that sound and thus enlisted Phil to help him out on what was his biggest solo hit.\n[youtube:n8m2xham]AONyzALncOk[/youtube:n8m2xham]\n\nHoward Jones is a classically trained pianist and his song &quot;No one is to blame&quot; was a very spartain affair and so to see what a different pair of hands could do with that song he asked Phil to do a remix. And a remix he certainly got, Phil\'s trademark drumming and him adding background vocals really filted the song up.\n[youtube:n8m2xham]4Fiba80YVyM[/youtube:n8m2xham]\n\nWell this concludes my small tribute to one stellar musician who according to his Genesis bandmates never looked like a rock star and frankly still doesn\'t.','a8934bf09315ba404d1b98d7266cdf86',0,'CAE=','n8m2xham',1,0,'',0,0,0),(465539,32132,6,1019,0,'172.162.38.133',1299630075,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The Long Story Challenge','[quote=&quot;thatLONERchick&quot;:3ahm5aaw][quote=&quot;OverlordMikey&quot;:3ahm5aaw]I\'ll be a contestant for #4 if you need one.

I’m just saying that a man’s love is different—much more simple, direct, and probably a little harder to come by. His love is still love, though.

In the US, every local school system is run by an elected school board and frankly, skill or knowledge of education is not a requirement to be on a board.  Therefore, protecting the career educators from the political winds of fate at one time was deemed a good and noble goal.

I like a whole lot of foods that the &quot;experts&quot; say I shouldn;t eat. I just don;t eat them all the time. For instance tonight I\'m having for dinner a lentil-leek soup that I found the recipe for in one of my magazines. Durn tasty, and pretty good for me, I think... But Saturday night I was out at a restaurant I found they had a beer-battered burger. THey take a standard hamburger, coat  in the beer batter and deep fry it. I had to have it once. I think my dovtor heard my arteries clogging at a range of about 15 miles, but it was damn tasty. I will never have it again, but I had to try once.\n\nThe problem, at least in the US, is that people don;t often know the meaning of moderation. Portion sizes have been inflating in restaurants for years, and is obscuring the &quot;healthy&quot; amount one needs to eat. Couple this with McDonalds and the like providing filling, reasonably tasting pseudo-food at a fraction the price that someone could make something real and healthy at home, not to mention the time factor, and it\'s no wonder the american waistline is expanding faster than Bill Gate\'s bank account.','699073292fb5f10cef36ed133a969392',0,'oA==','36m9ia80',1,0,'',0,0,0),(465556,32133,3,1019,0,'172.129.176.80',1299640491,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Hello everybody!','Well~ I guess it\'s Mikey\'s turn to greet you!

The father...&quot; she glanced at Jake. &quot;...was proud as could be of it, even going so far as to suggest with his younger daughter that the family eat dinner in the shelter.&quot;\n\nDaria began to salivate.\n\n\n\nXXXX\n\n\n\n&quot;You see, the girl fell asleep and nobody knew she was there.

She leaned in towards Jane\'s face.\n\nDaria\'s gnashing teeth sounded very much like rattling to the occupants of the car. Seeing Daria\'s mouth advance towards her face, Jane shrieked. &quot;My eyelids!

She ran off as fast as her considerably capable legs could carry her, door handle broken off in one hand.\n\nTrent, too, moved faster than he ever had in his life, pulling himself out of the car window like a reverse Duke of Hazzard. The haste with which he made himself scarce demonstrated that Jane\'s athletic prowess may in fact have been genetic.\n\nJake looked concernedly at Daria from the front of the car, who now looked contrite and a little embarrassed. &quot;I was just going to tell her to stop talking about food, is all,&quot; she muttered.

But Saturday night I was out at a restaurant I found they had a beer-battered burger. THey take a standard hamburger, coat  in the beer batter and deep fry it. I had to have it once. I think my dovtor heard my arteries clogging at a range of about 15 miles, but it was damn tasty. I will never have it again, but I had to try once.\n\nThe problem, at least in the US, is that people don;t often know the meaning of moderation. Portion sizes have been inflating in restaurants for years, and is obscuring the &quot;healthy&quot; amount one needs to eat.

Taken aback, they froze with no idea of how to react. “This is all YOUR FAULT! I’ve lost my boyfriend, any respect I had at school, and I can’t even look myself in the mirror anymore! And why? Because I was trying to live up to your expectations! ‘You have to date the perfect black boy, Jodie.’ ‘You have to be the best at everything, Jodie.’ ‘You have to never lose anything, or you’ll disappoint us, Jodie.’ Well, that’s over!

I hate to mention this, amiga, but if we don’t get credit for this, my grade drops down into Kevin-on-a-good-day territory.”\n“Damn,” Daria slurred, her lips still swollen. “Looks like we have some candy to sell.”\nThe doorbell rang and Jane went to answer it. Opening the door, she saw Jodie standing in front of her.\n“Fuck off,” Jane said, slamming the door. The bell rang again, and this time Jodie interrupted Jane quickly.\n“I just want to talk to Daria, if she’ll let me,” she said.\n“Fine, I’ll ask,” Jane said with a smirk. “Daria,” she called over her shoulder. “You want to talk to Jodie?”\n“Sure,” Daria said, surprising both of them. Passing Jane, she said softly, “Stay in here, no matter what happens, ok? I can handle this.”\n“Like you handled it today at school?” Jane asked sarcastically, taking Daria’s hand and giving it a squeeze.\n“She surprised me today. She won’t this time,” Daria said, squeezing back and closing the door.\n“What do you want?” she asked Jodie.\n“I just want to talk,” Jodie said quickly. “I don’t know what I was thinking today. I just”\n“Jodie, I don’t care.”\nHer words brought Jodie up short, and she hung her head.\n“I’ve had worse in my life than some crazy girl beating the shit out of me over her boyfriend. You had no reason to be jealous. I wasn’t going to try to take your boyfriend away.”\n“I figured that out around the time that Mack dumped me for being a jealous bitch,” Jodie said with a small laugh that Daria didn’t reciprocate.\n“So, I ask again: what do you want?”\n“To tell you I’m sorry,” Jodie said softly.\nDaria stared at her, waiting.\n“I’m sorry,” Jodie said after a minute.\nDaria kept staring until Jodie began to look confused.\n“Was that all?” Daria finally asked.\n“Um…no?” Jodie said, uncertain of herself.\n“Then what else is there?” Daria asked, staring at her mercilessly.\n“Um….”\n“Jodie, you’re just trying to make yourself feel better. Leave me out of it.” With that, Daria turned to go back inside.\n“Daria, wait!” Jodie said, grabbing Daria’s arm.\nWith a blur of motion, Daria spun and grabbed Jodie by the throat. As she squeezed the girl’s windpipe shut, she said in a soft yet harsh voice, “I told you before: Leave. Me. Alone.” She stared at Jodie until the girl was about to pass out from oxygen deprivation, then let her go. As Jodie lay gasping for breath, she heard a door slam shut.\n“Amiga?” Jane asked, having watched through the window.\n“Don’t. We need to sell some chocolates,” Daria said, her voice ragged as she tried to purge the adrenaline from her system.\n\nAt school the next morning, Jane was talking to Mr. DeMartino about the incident.\n“In the end, they both got a 3 day suspension, and I got off since I was just ‘breaking up the fight,’ as several of the bystanders were willing to say.”\n“Very good, Ms. Lane,” he growled with a smile. “While you are not one of my BETTER students, you have shown the capacity for thought and an occasional DESIRE to learn which has warmed the very cockles of my being.”\n“Um, ew,” Jane said, and retreated to her seat. Mack came in right before the bell and sat next to her. She didn’t look his way for the entire class period, and didn’t notice the note he’d deposited on her desk until the bell rang. Tempted to throw it away, she decided instead to read it first.\n\n[i:2ohek7bf]Jane,\nI’ve known you since second grade. At least give me a chance to explain.

I was down by the gym keeping Kevin from getting his ass kicked by the president of the Chess Club. That kid has a wicked right hook, and Kevin wouldn’t have stood a chance.”\n“I’m supposed to just believe that you had no idea your girlfriend was going to go postal?” Jane said with a scoff.\n“We broke up the night before the fight,” Mack said.\n“Oh,” Jane said, stunned. They stood in silence for several minutes.\n“So, what do we do now?” asked Mack.\n“Well, given that Daria choked Jodie when she came by last night, I’m out of ideas.”\n“I tried to talk to Daria the night Jodie and I broke up, but she kept freaking out and crying, so I ended up giving her a ride home, then I went back to the pizza place to deal with Jodie.”\n“Mack, I’m really worried about Daria,” Jane said softly. “I’m scared that she’s going to lose it bad and end up hurting someone.”\n“Daria wouldn’t do too much damage, would she?”\n“Mack, she choked Jodie last night with one hand, and the only reason Jodie didn’t pass out –or die- is because Daria didn’t want her too. Besides, Daria’s the smartest girl in school. If she wanted to hurt people, do you think her hands are the only weapons she’d have at her disposal?”\n“Damn,” he whispered, suddenly afraid. “Jane, we need to restore the peace here before things get nuclear.”\n“How?”\n“Well, I’ve got an idea, but I don’t know if it’ll work.”','e5da7b959240789138a0fdc62b123b27',0,'YA==','2ohek7bf',1,1305863115,'',1151,1,0),(465585,31992,6,809,0,'68.160.252.17',1299652156,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Pie, Pie, My Darling','[quote=&quot;Smijey&quot;:84zvcu40]Seeing Daria\'s mouth advance towards her face, Jane shrieked. &quot;My eyelids!

That can be important because I understand if you get the wrong pills it can make you worse instead of better, even if it makes you better at first.

Thankfully the rusted metal under my boots gives me more traction than the basketball court would have.  I\'m having enough trouble as it is getting both of my feet to head in the same direction instead of just flying off of my ankles and fleeing for separate corners of the gym.\n\nIn between the pounding generated by my attempted escape, I can hear the growling behind me grow even louder, and now it\'s accompanied by a scrape, a scrape, a scraping noise.  I don\'t want to look back, [i:3fswhvhp]can\'t[/i:3fswhvhp] look back, but somehow I know that this means its moving, coming after me, intent on doing something horrible.\n\nAnd I am absolutely certain that I won\'t be able to stop it if it catches me.\n\nI hit the double doors at a dead run, then bounce off and fall to the ground, stunned.  Another heavy scrape coming in my direction gets me back up and on my feet.  Pain is temporary.  That thing is something else.  Suffering and misery and agonizing torture and I have to get out and I have to get out [i:3fswhvhp]now[/i:3fswhvhp].\n\nThe door\'s handle slams against the door itself when I kick it, but it has no effect.  I can hear the mechanism inside working, but it remains stubbornly shut.  There was nothing outside holding it closed, so I squeeze the panic down and look over the inside of the door as calmly but as quickly as I can.\n\nTwo latches, one at the top of the door and one at the bottom.  They\'re in the locked position, holding firmly in the door frame.  I try to put the safety on my pistol, but my fingers are spazzing out.  With a snarl of frustration, I turn and fire at the thing slowly rolling up behind me, emptying the clip entirely and then continuing to pull the trigger several times after all I\'m getting are empty clicks.\n\nI\'m not sure exactly how many bullets came out, but only two actually hit the thing, ricocheting in a shower of sparks.  Neither of them hit those damnable lights, so I still can\'t see what\'s on the other side.\n\nDoesn\'t matter.  Don\'t need to, don\'t want to.\n\nThe pistol\'s slide is still sitting in the open position, but I shove it in the holster anyway.  I kick at the bottom latch, and after a few tries it goes all the way up and locks into place.  I reach up to grab onto the top latch and scream when I can\'t quite reach it.\n\nI\'m too short!  I\'m going to be caught and tortured and torn to pieces all because I\'m too damn short and that\'s not even fucking [i:3fswhvhp]fair![/i:3fswhvhp]\n\n&quot;AaaaaaRRRRRRAAAAH!!!  [i:3fswhvhp]Fuck you!  Fuck you!  Fuck you![/i:3fswhvhp]&quot;\n\nWith each curse, I smash at the latch with the baseball bat.  I don\'t know if it will do anything, but damn it feels good.  Aside from the shocks traveling down the length of the bat and into my hands, making my fingers go gradually numb with each strike, it feels [i:3fswhvhp]great[/i:3fswhvhp].\n\nAs the lights get closer, I start swinging the bat faster and faster until my upper arms and shoulders begin to ache and I can\'t feel anything below my elbows.  My throat is getting raw from spitting and swearing and shouting and pleading until finally, with one last swing, I knock the latch completely off, sending the door flying open.\n\nWithout stopping to wonder how little, non-athletic me managed such a feat, I do a bit of my own flying, straight out of the building and face first into a fence.\n\nI almost drop the bat as I scrabble my hands along the chain-link.  Looking past it, I can see a veritable maze of the stuff sitting before me, stretching off into the dark that has apparently settled down around the entire school.  This wasn\'t here before.\n\n&quot;[i:3fswhvhp]This wasn\'t here before![/i:3fswhvhp]&quot; I scream, rattling the fence.\n\nI step back and swing the bat hard.  All I get for my trouble is that peculiar rattling noise that only chain-link fences can make.  I look back and forth, trying to determine which way I should run, but it all looks the same.  Right worked out for me last time I picked randomly, so this time . . . left.\n\nScrew you, Silent Hill.  I\'ve got your number this time.\n\nI run straight into the walls at every turn, and each time it happens I can feel my chest tighten up a little more with fear.  But I can\'t slow down.  I can\'t bash my way through.  I can\'t even climb over thanks to the razorwire that\'s strung along the entire length of the fence, keeping the rat firmly in the maze.\n\nI can see the school!  I thought I\'d never be so happy to see a high school again, especially one that I already know is filled with monsters.  But at least the monsters here I can deal with.  I pull the doors open, rush inside, and then skid to a stop in the middle of the hall.\n\nMy breath comes in ragged wheezes and my everything feels like it\'s on fire.  The phone in my pocket is completely still, however, so at least I\'m safe for the moment.  Maybe the thing behind me got tangled up in the maze.  Maybe it decided not to follow me at all.  Maybe it can\'t leave the gym.  Maybe it\'s just too slow and will catch up with me later.  I don\'t know and I don\'t care right now.  All I know is I finally understand what people mean when they say they need a drink.\n\nIn the absence of alcohol, I pull out one of my Health Drinks and slam it down my throat.  No, I don\'t give a damn if I\'m not actually hurt.  If there\'s another motherfucker just aching to jump out at me by surprise, I need to be alert and ready to smack the fucking shit out of it.\n\nHey, listen to foul-mouthed little Daria.  One little sanity-wrecking incident and suddenly she\'s swearing like John McClane.  But to be fair, at the moment I wish I could channel even more of Mr. Die Hard.  And with that in mind, I finish my drink, toss down the empty can, and reload my pistol.\n\nThere\'s a wall in front of me that wasn\'t there before, blocking off access to the back hallway.  The floors and ceiling are made up of bolted metal plates.  There are still lockers lining the walls in places, but they\'re even rustier and busted up than before, several of them sporting broken doors or no doors at all.  Where there aren\'t any lockers, I can see some kind of exposed machinery.  Huge gears, haphazard wiring, pumps and pistons, all of it in various states of disrepair.  The darkness isn\'t quite as oppressive as before, but it still presses down around me, obscuring anything further than my flashlight beam.\n\nThe school has changed, just like the gym.  And if things here are anything like they were there, then changes are bad.  Very bad.  Bat in one hand and freshly loaded pistol in the other, I slowly start walking down the hallway.','772f2e04e93951b95435ceee051c31ef',0,'IA==','3fswhvhp',1,0,'',0,0,0),(465640,31919,3,94,0,'68.205.122.168',1299693904,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The Completely Random Post Thread: Common Cold Edition','[quote=&quot;Brother Grimace&quot;:2t1ddgyi][quote=&quot;Erin M.&quot;:2t1ddgyi]The house just shifted like crazy.

We always paid our contribution on time and cleaned up after each rehearsal and all of a sudden that guy staged a theft in our shoes, had us removed from the rehearsal room and even convinced the people who ran the place to get the police involved as soon as one of us even came near the place.\n\nAnd for good measure he also &quot;warned&quot; other rehearsal spaces about us. I later heard that he had bullied away several of the bands who had been rehearsing at that venue and from those bands I found out exactly WHY we were treated the way we were. Turns out that the guy and the people running the place had put forwards a demographic on what kind of bands they wanted there: teenagers who have their first bands and all of us being in our thirties didn\'t fit the bill and since we weren\'t going to leave on our own they decided to make us leave.\n\nA couple of months ago, my band and a band that guy plays in were on the same bill, the organiser, who is aware of what happened, urged us to let bygones be bygones and not make a big fuss of it. We agreed but during our final song I suddenly heard something very off key, turns out that the saxophone player of that band had decided to play along and before we knew it the guy was on stage with us, ruining our song and blabbering in the microphone that everybody should see the band he was in. Me and our other guitarist kicked him off the stage and later sabotaged his saxophone by taking the mouthpiece off and stuffing the thing with paper towels.\n\nNow to the point I was headed: that A-hole has landed TWO spots on the prestiged Pinkpop festival with two bands. \n\nNice guys finish last they say and I found out the truth behind that saying many times over in my life.','7ce2114b5c8f34d4253158a76f7a7268',0,'','13xk2229',1,0,'',0,0,0),(465646,32141,3,1218,0,'166.113.0.50',1299697721,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Guess who is #68 in TV Squads Top 100 women characters','Way to go Daria! *goes through the remainder of the list* The hell?

[i:2y9fflil]Let\'s see what kind of game Bobby is playing.[/i:2y9fflil]  Holding his room key card in his grip, he went up to the front desk.  Handing his room key over to the clerk, he asked if he could have a print out of what the room bill was so far.  The young woman swiped the key across the pad of her computer and turned around to grab the sheet of paper that printed out.  Handing him both the paper and his card, the young woman asked if there was anything else he needed.  Shaking his head, Dorian flashed her a warm smile and thanked her.  He looked over the paper with a fine tooth comb.\n\nReturning to the pool, he folded up the sheet of paper and slid it in his book.  Jane opened her eyes and looked over at Dorian. A few minutes later, they both turned when they heard Helen and Jake laughing behind them.  Jane stared at the pool for a moment before nudging Dorian.  Standing up, she unwrapped the towel, took off her shorts, and headed towards the pool.  Dorian took his shirt off and joined Jane as they began to swim laps.  As they swam, they caught the attention of Sandi.  A look jealousy came over her face.\n\nAfter several laps, Dorian and Jane swam over to their parents and talked to them briefly before getting out of the pool.  Going back to their seats, they gathered up their things.  Jane was heading towards the pool\'s exit.  Dorian walked over to where Quinn and Stacy were sitting.\n\n&quot;We\'re going to order a pizza and watch a movie,&quot;  Dorian said.\n\n&quot;Tiffany\'s dad is picking her and Sandi up in about an hour and a half, so we\'ll be up there shortly,&quot;  Quinn smirked.\n\nDorian just shook his head. By the time he had made it back to the room, Jane was already changing.  Dorian quickly showered and got dressed.  He showed her the bill that he had printed out.   Jane let out a low whistle as she looked at the charges.\n\n&quot;Forty dollars for a pair of spa slippers?  Fifty for the lobster platter?  Wait - I don\'t remember seeing a breakfast sampler.  When did he give her that?&quot;\n\n&quot;He didn\'t - he tried to deliver one this morning, but I told him that no one ordered it,&quot;  Dorian said as their conversation was stopped by the opening of the door.\n\n&quot;I can\'t believe that Bobby asked you to go out with him for dinner tomorrow night.  He\'s cute, Quinn.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah, I wanted him to take me to Chez Pierre, but there is a restaurant here at the resort that is reservation only, so he is taking me to it instead.&quot;\n\nDorian\'s eyes enlarged and then squinted to two tiny slits.  [i:2y9fflil][b:2y9fflil]We have to stop that date from happening.[/b:2y9fflil]  It won\'t, but it will have to wait until after he\'s off duty to see if he does what he said he would this morning.[/i:2y9fflil] Jane could see the wheels turning in Dorian\'s mind.  After Sandi and Tiffany left, Quinn and Stacy joined Dorian and Jane in the living room.  A couple of hours later, Bobby called to the room and told Quinn he would see her tomorrow night.  After Quinn and Jane fell asleep, Daria got Dorian\'s attention.  [i:2y9fflil]Let\'s go pay the front desk another visit.[/i:2y9fflil]  He asked for a second print-out of the room\'s bill.  The only charge that was on it was the pizza he and Jane had ordered that afternoon.  [i:2y9fflil]Get mom - that jerk\'s going down.[/i:2y9fflil] Armed with both bills, Dorian called his parents room.  Once his mother arrived, Dorian asked to speak to the manager-on-duty.  Inside the office, Dorian explained what &quot;he&quot; had heard earlier that morning, and then showed the manager both copies of the bill.  The manager thanked him and immediately called the police.  \n\nThe computer expert for the Lawndale Sheriff\'s department was able to determine that the hotel\'s system had been hacked into.  After taking Dorian\'s statement and copies of the bill, the detectives asked if they could talk to Jane and Quinn.  Helen called up to the room and the two girls come down to the lobby.  Quinn comfirmed recieving everything on the bill except for the breakfast.  Jane said that she witnessed Quinn getting these items.  It was almost three in the morning before they were able to go back to the room.  Helen told them to not worry about going to school that day.  \n\nAs they headed towards the elevators, Helen pulled Dorian over to the side.  &quot;Thank you for looking out for Quinn.&quot;\n\nDorian leaned towards his mother, his voice barely above a whisper. &quot;Thank Daria - she heard Bobby talking to another one of the bellhops about Quinn.  The whole thing was a set-up to get her alone in the Presidential Suite tomorrow night.  It was Daria\'s idea to get the print-outs and contact you and the manager.  I wasn\'t going to tell you, because I want you and dad to relax and enjoy yourselves for once.  I was just going to beat him to the ground,&quot;  Dorian said as Quinn stared at him in shock.\n\n&quot;Well, then I guess that you both get a thank you.&quot;  Helen gave him a hug as they entered the elevator.\n\nWhen they walked into their room, Quinn pulled her older brother into a tight embrace.  &quot;I\'m sorry for all the times I gave you a hard time, Daria.  Thanks for watching out for me.  I love you both,&quot;  Quinn whispered.\n\n&quot;We love you, too sis.  Now let\'s all try to get some sleep,&quot;  Dorian said as Quinn started to walk away.\n\nBefore she left the living room, Quinn turned to Dorian.  &quot;You two work well together.  I can\'t belive I almost went out with a computer geek.&quot;  \n\nDorian spread out on the couch and grabbed the blanket.  [i:2y9fflil][b:2y9fflil]We did make a pretty good team, there.[/b:2y9fflil] Yeah, I guess we do sometimes.  Goodnight, Dorian.

With a flick of his wrist he threw it again and the rubber ball was about to break the sonic barrier when he caught it again with his waiting hand. He made no other movement, his whole body was still, unmoving, like a sitting statue leaning against the back of the cell, he didn\'t even blink. He felt no need to switch his position, no need to twitch, not even the urge to scratch himself.  He was comfortable in the position he was in.\n\nOr at least he wasn\'t uncomfortable, for he did not bother with such things anymore. His facial expression was bored, like he did not give a damn about his situation -- totally uncaring about the fact that he was sitting in a small cell, charged with several criminal acts and no one was on his side. And on top of that he was in a country he could still not stand.\n\nBut all that didn\'t even seem to faze him.   He was just staring into nothingness and sat there, throwing the small rubber ball without caring about anything. Every few seconds the sound of the ball hitting the wall could be heard, aside from that it was silent, boring as the walls were gray and cold.\n\nHe just sat there and threw the ball, again and again, like he was doing it automatically, not even bothering to look at the ball or to care that he was doing it. The young Russian man seemed to be asleep with open eyes.  \nIn truth however he was wide awake, his mind racing about the fact that he could not save anyone. That he was helplessly outclassed by an enemy who was more ruthless, more dangerous, better trained and way faster than he could ever dream to be.\n\nHe did not want to, but his mind recalled the burning motel from where the screams of an old man came.   The old man was burned to ashes while still alive, and Alexey was unable to help him. He saw how the Shinobi had danced away from him and tried to lure him away from the wounded woman lying on the ground, his bait so to say, the woman Alexey was protecting.\n\nAnd above all he knew how these assholes thought, what they were willing to do to get their way. They were absolutely unscrupulous, slaughtering families and soldiers alike, coming out of the shadows and throwing their dangerous shuriken or swinging their hair-cutting sharp swords before they vanish again. But their most powerful weapon was terror and fear, the one thing that no armor could protect someone from.\n\n[i:35ziv4a6]I let thirteen people die to save one woman. One woman.[/i:35ziv4a6] If he would have been like he remembered himself to be, he would have swallowed a lump in his throat and shed tears for the dead. But sitting in this cell, playing with the small rubber ball, he felt nothing. Just a heavy weight on his shoulders, like two giant stone gargoyles sat on them and grinned down at him with evil looks in their eyes.\n\nHe should have been afraid of losing his humanity, he knew that. But he felt nothing anymore, just the urge to lay down and go to sleep without ever waking ever up. That way he would not have to bother with anything anymore. Not the fact that he was in prison, not the loneliness, not the boredom, not the fucking thought that he wasn\'t human anymore.\n\nBut in the same moment he knew that he could not allow that. The secrets of his body would fall into the hands of the USA, the one state he was raised to hate nearly as much as the Empire. He knew that they weren\'t all evil people, that most of them were good, but he did not trust the government nor the military. An American army, equipped with his abilities? He would have shuddered if he had felt the urge to do.\n\nThe ball hit the ceiling and then the wall before he flew into his hand again.\n\n–\n\nIt was a rather nice bar, pub actually, with a lot of mirrors decorated with the pub’s logo on the walls and classy interior design. The lamps were placed strategically so that there were enough dark corners to have enough privacy but still enough light all around to be called friendly and homey. The big TV mounted on the wall on the left to the bar was turned on and showed some football reruns, different kinds of beer from all around the world were served and the few costumers seemed to be a nice bunch.\n\nOn a lone table standing apart from the rest of the pub and hidden behind a nicely decorated pillar sat a young woman with long blond hair, a half drunken glass of soda in front of her, and a laptop on which she was hacking away. Next to her on the floor lay a big English Mastiff, sometimes standing up to slobber a bit of water from the bowl which was seated in front of him.\n\nOutside the pub it was dark, a terribly lonely night to be alone on the highway, the next town 32 miles down the highway and even more way to the next town in the other direction. It was practically the middle of nowhere and the only vehicle parked outside was the lone car of Jennifer, how the other costumers came here was anyone’s guess.\n\nBut she did not care, she was staring onto her laptop screen and focused totally on it, reading blog entries, visiting websites, looking through police reports, searching for any further signs of so called “cyborg activity” on Americas streets. She had followed the trail through half the country, a tip from Bob helping her out, and now she was stuck in the nowhere of Wyoming, left with nearly no money, no help and worst of all no idea where to go from here.\n\nChester looked up from his position when the pub owner walked up to the table, smiling friendly and leaning slightly forward, leaning on the back of a chair with his hand. “You all right young lady?”\n\nJennifer looked up and seemed to be puzzled for a second, before she nodded slightly. “Um, yes. Everything\'s alright.”\n\nHe seemed to chuckle and pointed at the seat opposite of her. “May I?”\n\nShe hesitated, before she nodded a bit unsure. “Um... of course.”\n\nHe drew up the chair and sat down, leaning back and looking at her with bright eyes. He was old enough to be her father, clearly older than fifty with long gray hair and a slightly receding hairline. He was stockily built but fit, his body clad in a simple light blue shirt and jeans. “If I may be so bold, you don\'t look like you are all right.”\n\nShe bit her lower lip and studied him for a few seconds, unsure of how to react to this statement. Again she hesitated, before she sighed, let her shoulders drop and nodded. “Yeah, I\'m... tired and confused. Kinda, you know?”\n\nHe seemed to smile slightly sagely, looking like a wise Chinese little man who was about to say something very clever. “You seem to be lost somehow, like you have lost your way.”\n\n“You could say that,” she chuckled, a bit amused as she took a sip from her soda. She bit her lower lip and looked to Chester, who looked like he would doze off any moment now, before she returned her gaze to the man in front of her. “There is this boy... um... man... kinda.”\n\nHis face lit up in understanding and a small smile. “Ah. Go on.”\n\n“Well, I like him. Like, really like like him”, she mumbled, more to herself than to him, blushing slightly. “He lived with me... for a while, you know? And I... um... had the chance to make a move.” She swallowed a lump in her throat. “And he was... really sweet. Nice and caring. And he... had a... cute accent... And then he... um, vanished. Yeah.”\n\nThe bar owner seemed quite amused by her, but in a good way. “Let me guess - you realized what you felt when he was gone and now you’re searching for him?”\n\nShe nodded. “Yeah.”\n\nHe chuckled slightly and good hearted. “The drink is on the house. Don\'t lose hope girl, I\'m sure something will come up and everything will sort itself out.”\n\n“He is a Soviet killer robot from an alternate universe,” she said and watched with amusement how he raised an eyebrow and tried to keep his confusion in check.\n\n“Well... That certainly complicates things.”\n\nShe chuckled slightly and leaned back, smiling sadly and mumbled “Yeah, it does.”\n\nAfter a few seconds he regained his composure and smiled again fatherly, just like she would have imagined her own father should have done all those years, but didn’t. She forced these thoughts into the darkest corner of her head and sealed them in a small safe, which she then sank in a deep river. Or, at least she tried to do that.\n\n“So, you know why he vanished?” the pub-owner asked, interested.\n\n“Um... yeah.” She swallowed and nodded, before she mumbled “He is... um, charged with several... yeah, charges.”\n\n“Oh. And he\'s innocent?”\n\n“Yeah, he is. Kinda.”\n\n“Kinda?”\n\n“It wasn\'t his fault!”\n\nAgain he chuckled and grinned at her. “So, when he is innocent like you say, why is he running?”\n\n“Soviet killer robot.”\n\n“Oh yeah, forgot that.”\n\nHe hadn\'t even finished his sentence when the News Station showed a destroyed motel somewhere in Nevada. Thirteen people dead and a young man without papers was arrested. Burnout, knowing that it was her best chance of finding a new trail, jumped to her feet, startling the man on the other side of the table.\n\n“I have to go”, she said in a hurry, packing her things and then running out, Chester hot on her heels. “Thanks for the drink and listening!”\n\n[i:35ziv4a6]He must think I\'m totally crazy[/i:35ziv4a6], she thought and jumped into the car, opening the passenger door for Chester who somehow had acquired a pair of sunglasses which he was now wearing. For a moment she wondered about that, but then she just shrugged her shoulders. Best not to question the dog, he would give no answer.\n\nStarting the car she rolled out of the parking space of the pub and sped down the lone highway.\n\n“So, we going to Vegas?” asked Chester.\n\n“Yep.”\n\n“To quote a by now great warrior of a fantastic kingdom: ‘Cool.’”\n\nAgain she did not question him. She just accepted that he was strange.\n\nBoth did not notice that the tank was filled, although before they stopped it was nearly empty. Neither did they notice the bundle of dollar bills in the glove compartment. Or that where there should have been a pub was now just nothing.\n\n–\n\nLinda Griffin was tired. Tired of the nurses, tired of the doctors, tired of the fact that her daughter still wasn\'t there to visit her and of course she was also tired of the crappy food. She had barely escaped an Evil Nina Psycho Killer, so why should she eat the same disgusting stuff that all the people with normal injuries were getting? She was even tired of all the gifts and “Get Better Soon”-cards she got from strangers, people who had seen what had happened in the TV.\n\nShe was surprised that no media crew had tracked her down yet. Linda was not sure how to feel about that - on the one side she would be sort of famous but then again she would have to explain to her family why she had been there in the first place.  She leaned back and sighed deeply.\n\nAnother doctor opened the door and walked into her room, not even bothering to knock. “Miss Griffin,” he said unemotionally, not even looking at her but at the clipboard in his hand. “Have you taken your medication this morning?”\n\nShe rolled with her eyes like a teenager would do it, clearly annoyed with the question. “Yes.”\n\n“Do you feel any pain in your shoulder?”\n\n“No.”\n\n“Pity,” he mumbled and finally looked up. Before she could respond something snaked out from under his lab coat, moving without making a sound and then shooting a thin needle into her neck.\n\nShe gasped for air, before she fell back and was deep asleep in a number of seconds.\n\nThe biomechanical, thin tail built out of highly advanced technological parts snaked back under the lab coat and he allowed himself a small smile. He made a step forward and touched something invisible on his left wrist. Instantly his whole appearance shivered and a second later he was no doctor anymore.\n\nBlack bodysuit, tight fitting body armor, highly advanced and still thin gauntlets and boots, six thin and incredible sharp Wakizashis strapped onto his back. But what most people would have looked at would have been four thin, mechanical, metallic arms he was using, attached to his upper body right under his real arms. And of course the long, thin tail that seemed to sprout right out of his spine and ended in an array of incredibly thin needles.\n\nHis face was hidden behind a black mask and only his eyes could be seen through the thick, green glasses. He drew a small cylinder from his belt which was equipped with an array of small gadgets hidden in pouches, and turned a hidden mechanism. Instantly a blade clicked out, as long as his middle finger and as sharp as a razor.\n\nIf he could he would have smiled but that ability he had lost long ago when the mask had been attached to his face.\n\nStepping forward he drew back the blanket over Linda’s body and began to carve letters into her stomach, using his knife as a gruesome pen and his hand moving with an inhuman grace.\n\n–\n\nWhen Alexey - now wearing an orange overall and handcuffs - stepped into the room where he had talked with the female detective he found himself face to face with a powerfully built black man in a nice suit without a tie and a pair of glasses on his nose.\n\n“Alexey Ulanow I presume?” His voice was powerful and he sounded like he was used to giving orders and seeing them followed. His composure, his face, his eyes, the way he moved, everything about him screamed military and no suit he could ever wear could hide that.\n\n“Alexey [b:35ziv4a6]BORISOWITSCH[/b:35ziv4a6] Ulanow,” the teenager corrected. He thought about attacking him, about ripping the handcuffs apart and just pounding this guy into the ground. Not because he did not like him - he felt nothing about him - but just because he could do it and because he had no love for people who tried to fool him.\n\n“Oh, my mistake.” The smile seemed genuine. “I\'m Doctor Kyle Armalin and I would like to have a few words with you.”\n\n“No.” There was no hate or malice in this statement, just a single, simple word, two letters, without any indicator why or what he was feeling.\n\nThe big African American raised an eyebrow and motioned him to sit down. “You haven\'t even heard what I want to talk about with you.”\n\n“No need.” Alexey remained standing.  He did not move at all, he only breathed when he needed some air to talk. The reflex to breathe was lost to him, neither did he need it nor did he wish to regain it. He just didn\'t care anymore.\n\n“Why not?”\n\n“A not talk with military.”\n\nThe so called doctor smiled slightly. “Although I\'m not military, not anymore, I can see your point. You don\'t trust me, do you?”\n\n“A don\'t.”\n\n“Do you trust anyone at all?”\n\n“No.”\n\n“What about Jennifer Burns?” he asked with a slight smile.\n\nThe next moment Alexey charged him, ignoring the handcuffs with gave in to his strength, and pressed him to the wall, holding him on his neck. He would have killed anyone without the super strength of Kyle Armalin. “What have you her done?!!”\n\nFor a second the two ex-soldiers just looked at each other, then the older man moved with a speed and agility that was superhuman. The next instant it was Alexey who was pressed to the wall, face first and his arms twisted behind his back.\n\n&gt;&gt;I WILL KILL YOU SWINELOVER!!! SHITEATER!!! IF YOU HAVE DONE ANYTHING TO HER I WILL RIP YOUR HEART OUT AND RAPE YOUR MOTHER AND KILL EVERYONE YOU KNOW INCLUDING YOUR FIRST GRADE TEACHER!!!&lt;&lt;, screamed the Russian at his enemy, barely contained by the super-strength of the African American.\n\n&gt;&gt;AT EASE SOLDIER!&lt;&lt;\n\nInstantly he froze - a reflex from the time when he was in the army himself, recognizing an order when it was given to him. Instantly he felt like he was dressed down by his instructor in the Red Army, a hard-faced no-nonsense soldier who had seen more battles and death than any man should. And although this guy was nicer and a bit softer, he still saw some similarities between the two of them.\n\n&gt;&gt;We have done nothing to her&lt;&lt;, Armalin said to him, his voice forceful and demanding respect, like he was talking to a fresh recruit of the Marines. &gt;&gt;No, you will tell me everything that happened at this motel, from the start, and you will leave nothing out, not the Ninja, not the murders, not the fact that you have powers.&lt;&lt;\n\n[i:35ziv4a6]FUCK!!![/i:35ziv4a6], was everything that came into Alexeys mind, before he said: “Fuck you.”\n\nFor a few seconds both were silent, before the Ex-Marine stepped back and released the younger man.\n\n“I know that you\'re confused and scared, but I\'m you\'re only chance to get out of this mess. So don\'t blow it.”\n\nAlexey shot him an evil glare, before he sighed, his shoulders dropping. &gt;&gt;You have powers too, don\'t you?&lt;&lt;\n\nArmalin nodded. &gt;&gt;Yes.&lt;&lt;\n\nThe young Russian turned around, studied the wall for a second, before he shot him another glare. &gt;&gt;I tried to save a single woman and the bastard killed thirteen people, just to mock me.&lt;&lt;\n\n&gt;&gt;Do you know why he did that?&lt;&lt;\n\nAlexey snorted. &gt;&gt;Because he\'s a monster, a sick, childfucking asshole with no morals and even less love for live. He\'s twisted like that.&lt;&lt;\n\n&gt;&gt;And how do you know that?&lt;&lt;\n\n&gt;&gt;Because I fought guys like him before. The fucking damned Elite of the fucking Empire of fucking Rising Sun&lt;&lt;, he snarled, spitting the names out like they were poison. &gt;&gt;Shinobi.&lt;&lt;\n\nKyle Armalin grabbed a chair and pulled them up, sitting down on it. &gt;&gt;I think you better start at the beginning.&lt;&lt;\n\n&gt;&gt;No, that would take too much time&lt;&lt;, answered the young prisoner and snorted. &gt;&gt;But I will tell you what happened. Not that you will believe me.&lt;&lt;\n\n&gt;&gt;Perhaps you will be surprised.&lt;&lt;\n\n&gt;&gt;I don\'t think so.&lt;&lt; Alexey snorted, before he began to tell his tale.\n\n–\n\n[color=#004000:35ziv4a6]He would have huffed and panted if he still were human - if he wouldn\'t be dead anyway - but in his condition he just snarled and stood up again, still standing in front of the half dead woman behind him.[/color:35ziv4a6]\n\n[i:35ziv4a6]&gt;&gt;Linda Griffin&lt;&lt;, said the ex-marine, &gt;&gt;her name is Linda Griffin.&lt;&lt;\n\n&gt;&gt;I don\'t give a shit what she is called. You want to hear what happened or not?&lt;&lt;\n\n&gt;&gt;Yes.&lt;&lt;\n\n&gt;&gt;Then shut up. And by the way, your Russian is very good.&lt;&lt;\n\n&gt;&gt;Thank you.&lt;&lt;\n\n&gt;&gt;Kiss my ass.&lt;&lt;[/i:35ziv4a6]\n\n[color=#004000:35ziv4a6]He grinned at the Shinobi, who seemed to wait for something, six swords in his hands and dancing from one foot to the other and back. “Come on asshole!”\n\nAlexey knew that he was invincible to this guy now. Nothing his attacker could throw at him could injure him anymore, not the swords, not the shuriken, not the fancy kung-fu shit. Sure, his upper body was carved open and he was bleeding like a pig, but that was just the skin and while it was unpleasant it didn\'t even hurt.\n\nBut on the other hand was this guy way too fast to be hit, it was as if he was trying to start a fistfight with a tidal wave. He seemed to dance around any attacks, never standing still, like the wind, just as the orange Kanji on his breast was implying.\n\nFor a second he thought about how he knew what the Japanese symbol stood for, when the enemy was on top of him again. And this time he was not attacking with his sword or some fancy other gimmick, this time he was just hitting him in the head with all his might.\n\nAlexey smirked, knowing that if a truck going at full speed could not hurt him, then how could... [i:35ziv4a6]wait, why is the glove of this guy glowing with orange energy?[/i:35ziv4a6]\n\nThe next thing he knew he was sent flying and crashed into the sign on the other side of the road, effectively stopping his momentum. (Okay, the sign was totally destroyed, but who cares?) His head hurt like he had drank six bottles of vodka and it got hit with a fixed spanner before going to sleep, feeling like worse than anything he had ever felt before.\n\n&gt;&gt;I should stop tempting fate&lt;&lt;, he mumbled and tried to get up again and regain his footing. “Now A\'m really pissed!”\n\nIf the Shinobi was intimidated by that statement he did not show it, he just walked up to the form of Linda Griffin who was trying to crawl away, whirling a single blade in his hand as if he really enjoyed what he was about to do.\n\nWith a single loud click the rocket launcher in Alexeys shoulder clicked open.[/color:35ziv4a6]\n\n[i]Kyle Armalin nearly spit out the coffee he was drinking. &gt;&gt;You have a rocket launcher in your shoulder?&lt;&lt;\n\nAlexey seemed a bit unnerved about the interruption. &gt;&gt;And a laser gun in my cock, yes. Now, can I please go on?&lt;&lt;[i]\n\n[color=#004000:35ziv4a6]Unleashing a single rocket - the least deadly one he had at his disposal - Alexey began to run forward, or he tried at least. He was stumbling, running like a lightning bolt, not as fast but in zig-zag. He might have imagined it, but he got the impression that the eyes of the Shinobi grew to the size of saucers, before he was hit.\n\nHe smirked and grinned with a feral satisfaction as he saw how the bastard was carried into the motel, crashed through the wall and then got engulfed in an explosion. But that was all the time he allowed himself for that, then he was at the side of the single woman on the ground.\n\n“Everything’s alright”, he mumbled and tried to get his arms around her to carry her to safety, of course without getting an eyeful. She mumbled something and tried to hit him but he ignored it, it didn\'t even bother him at all.\n\nFor a moment he got distracted by her shapely legs and smooth skin, before he had her secured in his arms and began to jog away. Where to? He had no idea but it wasn\'t important, everything that counted was to get away from this monster.\n\n“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH-” A single shriek pierced through the air and was then suddenly cut off.\n\nHe stopped dead in his tracks and whirled around, realizing what was happening. The other occupants of the motel, until now cowering and hiding from the two fighters just outside the building, were now butchered like cattle.\n[/color:35ziv4a6]\n–\n\nAlexey Borisowitsch Ulanow starred into his cup of coffee. He wasn\'t a big fan of the black stuff, he preferred black tea with a taste of lemon, but normally he had no problem drinking it. Not that he needed to, he just swallowed it down because it felt like the right thing to do.\n\nThe two ex-soldiers just sat there in silence, the only noise in the room the ticking of the African Americans wrist watch. For half a minute they did nothing, before Kyle Armalin shifted in his chair and asked: &gt;&gt;What did you do?&lt;&lt;\n\nFor a moment the younger man did not respond before he answered: &gt;&gt;I was frozen. I did not know what to do. If I attack him I had to leave her behind and thus sacrifice her, without knowing if I even could save anyone else.&lt;&lt;\n\nHe took a small sip from his coffee, just out of habit. &gt;&gt;Or I could save her and sacrifice the others.&lt;&lt;\n\nHe smiled, but it did not reach his eyes, it was more like a mask of bitterness and sadness. &gt;&gt;I destroyed it, burnt it to the ground, annihilated everything. It was my best chance to kill him.&lt;&lt;\n\n–\n\nA nurse shrieked in terror and let the trail of food fall to the ground. Two other nurses ran to her, looking past her and paled.\n\nThere, sleeping like there was nothing going on, was Linda Griffin, lying in her bed. Her stomach was exposed and bloodied, letters carved into her skin. Written down were three short sentences: [b:35ziv4a6]I\'m the Wind. I\'m the Shadow.

She then walked around, running her fingers over the rows of books.\n\nEventually Julia had completed the books.\n\n“Well?” asked Brittany.\n\n“Insufficient psychic energy,” said Julia, “She’s into reading, but her devotion to all these books is spread too thin by their number.”\n\n“So now what?” asked Brittany.\n\n“Now ... ... If Daria finds out about this, she’s going to melt my brain. Brittany, how many telepaths does it take to screw in a light bulb?” said Julia. She then started looking around the room. She lifted the skirt of the bed and looked under it, and found it strange that there was a centre post linked to the four other legs, but some beds were like that.\n\nShe then looked through the wardrobe.\n\nShe failed to locate it there.\n\nWhere else?\n\nShe tried the utility room, with Brittany watching looking confused.\n\nJulia eventually returned to the bedroom and looked around confused and frustrated.\n\nShe then looked at the bed again and realised that the centre post could serve another purpose, especially with the structural elements on the floor, why would anyone do that? It makes moving the bed a pain in the ass.\n\nJulia got on her hands and knees and crawled around the head of the bed, and found what she was looking for. Brittany looked under the bed from the front. Julia was not visible. Brittany lifted her head and saw Julia pulling something, but looking under the bed again showed no sign of Julia. Julia pulled a box out from under the bed. Brittany walked around and looked under the bed, seeing the triangular compartment that couldn’t possible occupy the same space as the empty space she kept seeing. Brittany looked under the side and reached through the frame, only to be stopped by glass which, by the symmetrical reverse image of her hand on the other side of the glass, had to be the substrate of a mirror.\n\nJulia opened the box revealing cuffs, chains, dildos, devices with time setting dials (Delayed release devices?), electrical stimulation gear.\n\n“Wow,” said Brittany.\n\n“Who needs a light bulb, they’ll just screw whenever they get the chance,” commented Julia. She touched a dildo and said “Got her. Mr. Taloquan And Son Deniable Incarceration Ltd, it’s in Bangladesh.”\n\n]:::[\n\n“So, none of you ever seen this precog?” asked Wanda.\n\n“No,” chorused the soldiers.\n\nWanda pulled the I-Pod with the voice on it and said “Listen to this.”\n\nThe room went quiet and one of the conversations were played.\n\nSuddenly, someone pushed through the crowd, this woman with corporal insignia on her uniform, “Excuse me, let me through,” she got to the front and said “who the hell is that?”\n\n“Our targets,” said Tiffany, “what can you tell me?”\n\n“That’s the blonde bitch that ambushed me at my apartment! I WANT TO FUCKING KILL HER!”\n\n“Ambushed yo- What did she do?”\n\n“Fucking raped me, caused enough damage to my neck that I couldn’t move for fear of severing my brain stem, had to just lay there, YOU’RE GOING TO HELP ME KILL HER!”\n\n“If we can bring you along, it’s possible we won’t be able to get you a visa,” said Tiffany, “first thing we’ll need off of you is a description,” Tiffany pulled her smart phone and turned it on, loading an electronic portraying package.\n\n]:::[\n\n“Hacked the CIA satellite constellation, surface is just this little shack, radar and IR reveals a complex underground structure, there’s electrical, water and sewage services connected,” said Jodie, “no way to determine if metajammers are in effect, but they’re holding a meta, so unless notified otherwise, assume it is.”\n\n“Okay, what do we want to do then?” asked Jane.\n\n“Betty teleports in and sees if his powers work, if not, move away until you do, repeat this procedure at least twice on different vectors, once we have the location, Quinn, I’ll direct you to hit the metajammer with an electron beam. Then we pile in, secure the place, and make off with Daria.”\n\n“CIA will just hate that,” said Tom.\n\n“BONUS!” they all chorused.\n\nBrittany then said “Okay, draw weapons, PFT2s, equip them with T-wave sensors for electronic traps, no confinement mist, we don’t want to be spending time on barriers we made ourselves, also pack plenty of anti-mist solvent, and BA, respirators are good against sedatives, but not against asphixiants, which would be highly effective in such structures, wheels up in ten minutes.”\n\n]:::[\n\nTrask was watching the way the simulation was progressing. This was getting a little frustrating.\n\nDaria’s brain had been sped up so she should be perceiving double the frame rate of normal people, the problem was they had only had six days, or twelve from her point of view. Actually, he had managed to get her to experience twenty three days, sleep time normally slows your perception down, so might as well have that occur at the speed she perceives.\n\nShe was stressing, but not as much as he’d like.\n\nThe assistant appeared next to Trask and said “One of her associates, their explosives instructor, has been seen around the area, and we heard a sonic boom consistent with the shape of the Gridrunner, I think we’re about to get attacked.”\n\n“Great,” said Trask. After a while, he eventually said “Okay, watch from outside, and prepare to sedate her, in a minute I’ll have Armalin de-limb her with a machete, that’ll be your cue to sedate her, we stick her on a gurney near the entrance.”\n\nThe assistant left. Trask checked his watch and said “This time will just have to be the charm.”\n\n]:::[\n\n‘Betty from Jodie, I think I have the location of the metajammer, Quinn, target is five metres from the surface structure four three degrees, I’m using masers to generate steam, Betty, as soon as you’re able, beam everyone into the surface installation, everyone else join shoulders for teleportation.’\n\n‘Quinn ready.’\n\n‘Betty Ready.’\n\n‘Insertion Team Ready.’\n\nJodie fired the masers at the point she had identified generating the visual effects Quinn needed for an aiming point and thought cast ‘Quinn from Jodie, fire at your convenience.’\n\n‘From Quinn, firing now.’\n\n]:::[\n\nTrask emerged from the VR gear and noticed the alarms were sounding.\n\nHe looked through the window to where Daria was still being prepped for relocation.\n\nThe sound of PFT shots and things breaking from PFT shots told him “this sucks.”\n\nThis was about two seconds before the door left it’s hinges and three identical women wearing breathing apparatus armed with PFT M3s entered.\n\nHe was knocked out.\n\nHe then awoke staring at his crotch, tied to a chair.\n\nHe looked up and saw the Legion staring back at him.\n\n“Hi Trask,” said Jane.\n\n“I suppose I should beg for mercy or some other crap, right?” Asked Trask.\n\n“Actually you should be abiding by your parole conditions, one of those conditions stay within the state you were released to, only you were outside the country, and then there’s the no more crimes, don’t even litter or park obstructively, only you assaulted a Legionnaire, equivalent to a deputy marshal,” said Jane, “you must love prison. Either one of those counts on their own will return you to it.”\n\n“Oh yeah, that’s right, you’re supposed to be the good guys, aren’t you?” said Trask.\n\n“That’s what people who save the world constantly are generally referred to,” said Jane.\n\n“Yeah, well, I guess your perspective on what constitutes saving the world is just different is all,” said Trask.\n\n“Right,” said Jane. “FYI: If Daria wakes up before we’ve dropped you off, she is not wearing anything that’ll suppress her powers, so if you haven’t applied enough sedatives to her, don’t be surprised if you find your brains draining out your ear holes.”\n\n]:::[\n\n“Okay, we have five possibilities,” said Tiffany, as she scrolled down the thumbnails.\n\n“That one,” said Corporal Yuliya Yadviga, pointing at a captain.\n\nTiffany clicked the thumbnail, and the face enlarged to the full extents (of the smart phone screen).\n\n“You’re certain?”\n\n“Sadistic bitch held my eyelids open when she jammed that dick belt into me, yeah, that’s her,” said Yuliya.\n\nTiffany scrolled down, “Captain Kerry Thompson, deceased as of two years ago.”\n\n“So I was raped by a ghost? She seemed pretty alive to me.”\n\n“Blown up while on operations in Afghanistan, huge charge, DNA recovered from shrapnel, but nothing of her body was recovered. Blast was big enough to pulverise bones, so KIA was a reasonable assumption at the time,” said Tiffany, “she’s a precog, she could have tipped off the Taliban or Al Qaeda months in advance. Rest of her unit was recovered mostly intact, white butterfly effect. DNA could have come from a bag of blood placed on one side of the bomb.”\n\n“So now what?” asked Yuliya.\n\n“We can use her appearance to narrow her location down to a country,” said Tiffany, “Well, a continent, actually, I doubt she’d want to cross oceans hiding in a lifeboat on a container ship, but I can imagine her skipping border control on land borders, Wanda, need you to do the ... ”\n\nWanda picked up the smart phone and loaded up the US INS network and uploaded the picture for a search.\n\n]:::[\n\n“Jane.”\n\nJane looked over to Daria. They were in the back of the Gridrunner. “Daria. Sorry we took so long getting around to you, but Harm’s goons made off with a load of reactor fuel.”\n\nDaria sat up and felt most her body lock up. “D-AAAHHHHHHHH. One of those huh?”\n\n“You’ve been in VR for seven days,” said Jane “get yourself into the TIDES pool when we return.”\n\n“Uh-huh. Harm’s goons made off with a load of reactor fuel, I take it it’s not weapon’s useable uranium.”\n\n“It may have been refined since it was taken.”\n\n“How many critical masses?” asked Daria.\n\n“Forty,” said Jane.\n\n“In practical terms, thirty eight 3KT yield devices, ten 400KT yield devices, or maybe five of the low end hydrogen devices,” said Daria.\n\n“Yeah,” said Jane, “that’s why I convinced Brittany we needed to go after the fissile material first.”\n\n“Okay,” said Daria, “it sounds like you still haven’t recovered the material though.”\n\n“No. Thing is we think we must have passed them a bunch of times. Look, I’m sorry I convinced Brittany to leave you there, as soon as we’ve recovered the uranium, I’ll let you beat the crap out of me, I won’t resist, but anything you can bring to the investigation, we need it.”\n\nDaria sighed and said “My head’s a little out of the game, but I’ll see what I can come up with. ... That damn precog’s the key, get me a computer terminal.”\n\n“Flight deck,” said Jane.\n\n“Right,” said Daria as she got up and walked. Jane used her magnetic powers to assist Daria.\n\nThey entered the passenger seating area and Daria passed Trask. She turned to look at him. “Huh.” She then continued on.\n\nDaria entered the flight deck where Brittany said “You okay Daria?”\n\n“Nothing about a year in a TIDES pool won’t cure. Need to use a terminal,” said Daria as she sat at one of the rear stations.\n\nShe opened the electronic sketch program and set to work.\n\n“Sorry we left you in there so long Daria,” said Jodie.\n\n“Missing fissionable material Jodie, I concur,” said Daria.\n\n“Glad you do, but, I still feel-”\n\n“You all feel that way, I appreciate it, I’m almost ready with the E-fit.”\n\n“Okay. You may need me to hack the various databases to use it though, we’re on the terrorist watchlist.”\n\n“I was renditioned to another country for interrogation?” asked Daria.\n\n“Yeah. Agent Flem-”\n\n“Enough said. He’s CIA now?” asked Daria.\n\n“Yes,” said Jodie.\n\n“I hope it was his idea to hire Trask, if there’s two as stupid as him,” said Daria.\n\n“He’s a REMF,” said Julia as she entered. “CIA management is full of them. I don’t have to explain REMF do I?”\n\n“Nope,” said Jodie, “hopefully he’ll never see a parole hearing again.”\n\n“Ready now,” said Daria.\n\n“Okay,” said Jodie. She then hacked into the first database. “Want to try the military databases first, should be able to conclude those avenues sooner.”\n\n]:::[\n\n“Okay, latest movement of her likeness entered Rome, Italy yesterday from O’Hare, Chigago,” said Wanda.\n\n“Let’s try Britain,” said Tiffany.\n\n“Britain?” asked Wanda and Yuliya.\n\n“English speaker, English speaking, all she’d need to work on is the accent and a few slang words,” said Tiffany, “of course you’re trading cultural difference for obstructed exits, UK’s densely populated, riddled with cameras ... ... Having said that, she’d have plenty of people to hide among, unless she does something to really draw someone’s attention, she’s just not going to be seen.”\n\n“There’s always a chance,” said Wanda, “I’ll get onto MI5, what about the rest of Europe?”\n\n“We’ll have to contact all of ... ... ” Tiffany trailed off.\n\n“Or ... ... ” Prompted Wanda.\n\n“Yuliya. This probably isn’t your favourite topic, but did you get the impression that this was Kerry’s first time committing rape?”\n\n“Honestly? No, I know ... ... a thing or two about the mentality of a torturer, and from that I think a lot of what she did was habitual and too playful for it to be her first time, what exactly are you thinking?” Asked Yuliya.\n\n“Okay, the good news is I think I know how we can find her. The bad news is, it can’t be us that captures her,” said Tiffany.\n\n“WHAT?” asked Yuliya.\n\n“She’s a precog, but she isn’t omniscient, if she doesn’t know how she got found, she can’t evade. I think we can locate her by her habits. We narrow it down to a town, we can come up with an alternate means of getting her arrested. We’ll be looking for footage or accounts of her appearing at nightclubs or red light districts,” said Tiffany, she was thinking again, “trying to think what her criteria is likely to be.”\n\n“Rapists get into their criminal behaviour early, like with serial killers, they start in their teens,” said Wanda, she went to work on her palmtop saying “NCIS might have something on her, maybe complaints that were filed and later dropped, maybe complaining witnesses experienced fatal accidents after or even before they lodged the complaint, anyone who mysteriously died could give us her targeting criteria, otherwise we’ll end up looking all over the place. Did she say anything while she was assaulting you? That could also assist us.”\n\n“She mentioned she appreciated my technique wi ... ... ” Yuliya looked agitated as she thought through what she was going to say.\n\n“If this is going into war crimes you yourself have committed, we’d need to obtain a warrant to prosecute for such acts, and that would require a person’s name or a location which could lead us to witnesses, so keep those points vague and we won’t have the ability to pursue you, and that’s pretending any Russian judge would approve extradition in the first place. You can check with your base’s JAG attorney, but we need to get into Kerry’s mind,” said Wanda.\n\n“Okay, just don’t get into any moods just because you’re not used to the way Russians do war.”\n\n]:::[','392bcd5de3bbb560755d42a6de8fb8c4',0,'','356vllim',1,0,'',0,0,0),(465680,31159,6,785,0,'200.68.67.193',1299712013,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Screams of Silence (3/9/11)','She [i:n5wacabt]really[/i:n5wacabt] needs to get to that save point!','beab21b469ff03496d06d0f583c5ea56',0,'IA==','n5wacabt',1,0,'',0,0,0),(465681,31159,6,30,0,'174.74.119.203',1299712919,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Screams of Silence (3/9/11)','Or hope she\'s got at least another one-up. \n\nKristen','4d9f79c92e9a50911ef132814dee76fb',0,'','3fz54so6',1,0,'',0,0,0),(465682,32142,3,65,0,'76.112.196.178',1299714542,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Bitter, very bitter.

They were all right, he supposed; they weren\'t complete idiots and they put up with him and he did the same.\n\nAlready, clients were being directed in Tom\'s direction - he wouldn\'t have to scut around like any of the junior associates.  He got his father\'s clients, the ones that no longer had enough status to require Angier\'s personal touch but still had enough clout to require a Sloane to come calling.  Most of them were flattered by Tom\'s attention; they thought it conferred an increase in status.  If things got hairy or if Tom made some bad decisions, Angier was ready to step in.  Tom\'s safety net was as firm as those of Mark Grace and Preston Page, the heirs apparent.\n\nTom still fancied himself the rebel in one respect - his personal relationships.   There was that incident during the end of his junior year at Fielding - when his relationship with Jane almost blew up.  When he ended up kissing her best friend in a car, Daria Morgendorffer, a girl with both good looks [i:357ilg9o]and[/i:357ilg9o] brains.\n\nThere was no way out of that knot.  It seemed that he and Jane were no longer an item.  Jane fled to some kind of art commune.  He was left with Daria, who was feeling major guilt for hurting her best friend.  Tom didn\'t know how it would turn out.\n\nIt was then that he got a text message from Jane.\n\n[b:357ilg9o]Tom you basterd.  I shouldn\'t be writing you.  This is a bad idea that drunks have and I\'m drunk.  Question:  Do you want me back?  Answer yes/no.  If yes, we\'ll talk.  If no, forget you.[/b:357ilg9o]\n\nHe didn\'t expect it.  Daria had been cold to the idea of a relationship, and obviously, he regretted his impulsive decision. And he hadn\'t heard from Jane since that fateful day that she visited him and confronted him.\n\n[b:357ilg9o]Jane, of course I want you back.  But we seem to fight all the time.  I don\'t see how I can make it work.[/b:357ilg9o]\n\nHe got an answer back.\n\n[b:357ilg9o]I\'ll make it work.  Hold on. I figure that this will work, but don\'t get wandering eyes again or I\'ll killyou.  - Jane.[/b:357ilg9o]\n\nHe texted back.\n\n[b:357ilg9o]Am I forgiven, or something?[/b:357ilg9o]\n\nShe answered.\n\n[b:357ilg9o]I\'m not forgiving anything.  I\'m just going to ignore it.[/b:357ilg9o]\n\nTwo days later, Jane showed up at his house.  Tom was surprised to say the least.\n\n&quot;Hey,&quot; Jane said, with a half-smile.\n\n&quot;Hey,&quot; Tom said.  &quot;I didn\'t expect to see you again.&quot;\n\n&quot;Can\'t get rid of me that easy.  I just have one request.  I don\'t want you to talk about Daria anymore, okay?&quot;\n\n&quot;It\'s going to make it awkward.  She\'s your best friend,&quot; Tom answered.  Jane didn\'t say anything.\n\n(* * *)\n\nJane had her conditions.  &quot;You have to break up with Daria,&quot; Jane said.  That was easy. \n\n&quot;I never felt right about that,&quot; Daria said when Tom delivered the not-quite-devasating news.  &quot;I\'m just glad things are back to normal.  Although Jane hasn\'t spoken to me yet.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah.  I\'d like to be a fly on the wall to that conversation,&quot; Tom said.  &quot;Daria, I\'m really sorry about this.&quot;\n\n&quot;Not as sorry as I am,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;Hey, I hate to use cliches, but I think that under different circumstances - we might have had a chance.&quot;\n\n&quot;Definitely,&quot; Tom said.  &quot;But I think having the Jane Thing hang over us kind of spoiled anything.  Under different circumstances, I\'d ask you out in a heartbeat.&quot;\n\nDaria afforded Tom the glimpse of something rarely seen.  &quot;I\'m just happy that a possessor of male chromosomes who isn\'t named Upchuck finds me attractive,&quot; she said.  &quot;I\'m glad things are back to normal.  Kind of.&quot;\n\n[i:357ilg9o]And that was the last Tom heard of Daria Morgendorffer.[/i:357ilg9o]  During what Elsie called the Cheating Bastard Accords, Tom noted that Jane had not mentioned Daria over the five days of their attempt of reconciliation.  &quot;Hey, you\'re not talking about so-and-so.&quot;\n\n&quot;You mean Daria?&quot; Jane said.\n\n&quot;Yeah.  What happened there?&quot;\n\n&quot;I kicked that boyfriend-stealing bitch to the curb.  She\'s not my friend anymore...[i:357ilg9o]and not yours[/i:357ilg9o].  You\'ve already broken up with her, so that\'s that.&quot;\n\n[i:357ilg9o]So that was that.[/i:357ilg9o]  The price for a reconciliation was that Daria would be removed from both of their lives.  Tom knew that Jane and Daria still went to school together, but didn\'t know how Daria was handling it.  He wanted to ask, but couldn\'t figure out some way to do it that didn\'t make it sound like prurient interest.  Even when forced to talk about her - when Daria\'s presence had to be noted in the context of some communal activity - Jane always called her &quot;My So-Called Friend&quot; in all-caps and moved on.\n\nTom would have liked to have say that Jane had become a harridan, but that would be a lie.  She made a serious effort to put it behind her.  And the sex was really great.\n\n(* * *)\n\nAnd there she was.  At the end of the aisle, his future bride, part-time artist and Lawndale High School graduate Jane Lane, soon to be Jane Sloane.  She had moved to Boston when he went to Bromwell and tended bar there.  Now, Jane would become a society wife.  She said that &quot;I can do that falling off my back&quot; and mimiced a proper Boston Lockjaw.  \n\nTom climbed up to the altar.  There were a bunch of Jane\'s friends that he didn\'t recognize.  Tom had some of his friends from Fielding and Bromwell as his bridegrooms, with Mark Grace and Preston Page among their number for no known reason.\n\nAnd then he saw someone in the crowd.  Someone with brown hair.  She wasn\'t wearing glasses and her hat had a veil that partially obscured her face.\n\n[i:357ilg9o]Is it her?[/i:357ilg9o] Tom asked himself.  [i:357ilg9o]Is it Daria?   Here?[/i:357ilg9o]  The figure, whoever it was, remained motionless and unable to read Tom\'s thoughts.  Tom paid all of the attention he could spare to the mystery guest, but he had to get himself married.\n\n&quot;...speak now, or forever hold your piece,&quot; said the minister.  Tom looked out.  He looked for the mystery guest out there.  \n\nWas it Daria?  Was she there?  Or did he hallucinate her?  His life seemed full of hallucinations.  The seat was empty.  Or maybe there was someone there, and he could only see her when the world tilted in the right direction.','ee28e265215d86348d3848b12bb19e1f',0,'YA==','357ilg9o',1,0,'',0,0,0),(469265,31623,10,1127,0,'122.149.85.125',1301406725,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Daria Pixel Art Collection (102 characters + 38 LFC outf','Had a bit of spare time, so Val and Rachel Landon got added.','9c35417e169e1503d94e8fa63f1f22d4',0,'','3d9b8a5o',1,0,'',0,0,0),(465721,31623,10,1127,0,'122.149.68.101',1299726038,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Daria Pixel Art Collection (94 characters + 34 LFC outfi','Small update today, with Slutty Girl, Chipmunk and Kristen added to the ranks.','dc9fc6e4eb0020fbc8622d4ed225958c',0,'','2eybq4h8',1,0,'',0,0,0),(465722,31976,4,59,0,'98.214.72.176',1299726042,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Senators on the run','[quote=&quot;MJPollard&quot;:3qwbwjgn][url=http&#58;//crooksandliars&#46;com/breaking-news/wisconsin-gop-senators-poised-ram-th:3qwbwjgn][b:3qwbwjgn]Wisconsin Senate Passes Bill 18-1: Wisconsin GOP Senators Poised to Ram Through Collective Bargaining Measure[/b:3qwbwjgn][/url:3qwbwjgn]\n\n[color=#0000FF:3qwbwjgn]Welcome to the [b:3qwbwjgn]beginning of the[/b:3qwbwjgn][/color:3qwbwjgn] [s:3qwbwjgn]People&#39;s[/s:3qwbwjgn] [color=#0000FF:3qwbwjgn]Republic of[/color:3qwbwjgn] [s:3qwbwjgn]North[/s:3qwbwjgn] [s:3qwbwjgn]Korea[/s:3qwbwjgn] [s:3qwbwjgn]America[/s:3qwbwjgn] [color=#0000FF:3qwbwjgn][b:3qwbwjgn]Gilead[/b:3qwbwjgn][/color:3qwbwjgn], [color=#0000FF:3qwbwjgn][b:3qwbwjgn]ladies,  non-whites, and non-wealthy white[/b:3qwbwjgn][/color:3qwbwjgn] gentlemen.

The cartilage is stubborn at first, but with a rough grab and a push, it\'s through.\n\nThe second goes in right over her cheekbone, stretching out the skin and sending a small trickle of blood down like a shiny red teardrop.\n\nThe third curves behind her eyebrow, entering above the top edge of the short bristle of hairs and coming out directly under the bottom.  More blood, this time trickling into her eye, forcing her to close it.\n\nThe fourth hook is for her nose, the point curling out of her nostril.\n\nHer cheek.  Her lower lip.  Her chin.  Then to the left side, repeating the pattern back up, all except for the one over her other eyebrow.

Two of them are tearing the skin that they are in, but she can barely tell which two through the pain.  Everything has become this pain.  Even the chafing of the bands tightly binding her wrists and ankles have ceased to be a concern in the face of this white hot inferno of pure agony.\n\nOne last hook.  The sides of her mouth are squeezed, and she doesn\'t dare keep it closed.  It will be so much worse for her if she doesn\'t cooperate.  She opens her lips and slowly slides out her quivering, drooling tongue.\n\nThis hook is not attached to the walls of the basement.

Even the teachers seemed to be aware of the tension and made no attempt to bring the subject to the surface for fear of the resulting explosion of teenage rage.\nEvery teacher except one.\n“Jodie, Daria, I’d like to speak with you after class.”\nThey approached Mr. O’Neill’s desk together, keeping an arms length between them and never looking in the other’s direction.\n“Girls, I heard about your…..difference of opinions a few days ago, and I want to help you as best I can! It’s been said that old enemies can make the best of friends, so I’m assigning the two of you as partners for the fund raising chocolate sale!”\n“Mr. O’Neill,” Daria said, her teeth clenched together hard, “I already have a partner.”\n“Well, Jodie, do you have a partner yet?”\n“No, I don’t,” Jodie said, her teeth also clenched. A split second later, it dawned on her who Daria’s partner must be and what O’Neill’s next words had to be.\n“Well, the three of you can work together! It’ll be an opportunity for all of you to expand your circle of friends and learn more about each other!”\nThe two girls stared at each other, Jodie in fear, Daria in bliss.\n\nJane and Daria sat together on a couch facing Jodie. All three were staring daggers at each other. Once, when Quinn walked through to get a drink, she was driven back by the collective power of these death glares. It was over an hour before anyone spoke.\n“Shouldn’t we be planning our chocolate selling?” Jodie asked, not breaking her stare.\nDaria sighed. “Fine, let’s do this.” She spread out a map of the area and started pointing at different areas of it. “Jodie, if you sell your candy in Crewe Neck, Jane and I will sell ours in this neighborhood. Fair enough?”\n“What about O’Neill making us partners?”\n“You want to walk around and sell candy with us?” Daria asked, raising her eyebrow.\n“No. I just don’t want to get into any trouble.”\nJane scoffed at this, leading Jodie to hang her head.\n“You know what? Whatever. I’ll see you at school.” She grabbed her bag and walked out the door.\n“Maybe that was a bad idea,” Daria said thoughtfully.\n“Really? How?”\n“Because she could get us into trouble with O’Neill. That’s the last thing we need right now.” Daria walked over to the door, opened it, and shouted, “Landon! Get back here!”\n“Why?!”\n“Because we’ve got a project to finish, now get your ass back here!”\nJane gawked at the door as Jodie walked back in and sat in her previous place on the couch. “I’ve got to ask, Jodie: how did that make you come back?”\n“Because I don’t want my grade to drop in this class. I need my grades to be as high as possible if I’m going to get into the college I want, and if I have to put up with you two in the process, then so be it.”\n“Wow,” Jane said, genuinely impressed. “This college must be a great place if you’ll tolerate us to get into it.”\n“You have no idea,” Jodie said, wistfully. “It’s the college my grandmother and my father went to. Family tradition, you know?”\n“Not really. The only tradition we Lane’s seem to have is the one where we abandon other members of our family for months on end and don’t care when something happens to them,” Jane said, her snark quickly devolving into tears. Daria took her hand and held it tight.\n“Jane, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you,” said Jodie, genuinely contrite.\n“It’s ok,” Jane said, wiping her eyes savagely. “It’s just a sore spot. Wait a minute, aren’t we pissed at each other?”\n“Enemy mine,” Daria said, to which she got two blank stares. “Enemy of my enemy is my friend? Don’t you people ever read Machiavelli?”\n“No, Daria,” said Jodie with a sarcastic grin on her face. “I do other things in my spare time like homework and getting laid.”\nDaria and Jane let out small chuckles that stopped as they saw Jodie’s face fall, obviously thinking of her breakup with Mack.\n“So, chocolate?” Daria asked, obviously trying to defuse the awkward tension.\n“Yeah,” Jodie said softly.\n\nThe three of them, each carrying a box of candy, walked down the sidewalk away from the Gupty house. \n“Can I go on record as saying that last house was one of the scariest thing I’ve ever seen?” Daria asked. “And considering my history, that says a lot.”\n“What does that mean?” Jodie asked, honestly curious.\n“It means my foot is trachea deep in my throat. I….had a bad childhood. I don’t like to talk about it. Hell, Jane doesn’t even know the details and she’s my best friend.” Jodie saw Jane’s eyes widen slightly and surmised that Daria simply didn’t [i:10ivl8ob]know[/i:10ivl8ob] that Jane knew.\n“That must suck, having no one to talk to.”\n“Tried it once, back in Highland. It blew up in my face rather epically.”\n“How epic?” Jane asked.\n“It’s the reason we moved to Lawndale.”\nThat stunned the other girls into silence. Daria finally broke it with a cleared throat.\n“So, Jodie, since I’ve made today even more awkward than I thought possible, tell us about yourself.”\n“Well, I’m the only black girl at Lawndale High, so my parents have decided that nothing less than full-blown African Queen status is acceptable. I’ve never been allowed to have a birthday party, and all my gifts have been taken away because, quote, ‘You didn’t earn them, Jodie.’ Up until recently I was dating the best guy in school, but it looks like he’s fair game now, so good luck.”\nDaria sighed, “Jodie, I’m not trying to take your boyfriend. Or your ex. Or whatever he is. I just wanted to be left alone, but that obviously didn’t work.”\n“I know,” Jodie said, sighing. “I know. It’s just…. I’ve been with Mack for three years, and I knew the moment I saw you that you were competition.”\nDaria stopped walking, causing Jane to crash into her. “WHAT?!”\n“You’re the kind of girl Mack likes: smart, pretty, a bit of an attitude, and someone who will stand up for herself. I knew right away that if you tried, you could take him from me, and I panicked. I’m….I’m sorry, Daria.”\nDaria nodded slowly. “THAT one, I’ll accept. I’m sorry, Jodie, if I did anything that made you two break up.”\n“No, that was all me.”\n“Hey, guys?” Jane interjected. “We’ve only sold 5 bars out of the 60 we started with, so maybe we could hurry up a little here?”\n“Yeah,” Daria said, pointing at the next house. “Let’s go sell some candy.”\nThey walked to the door and rang the bell. An obese woman opened the door and spoke before they could begin their sales pitch.\n“You girls are selling chocolate?”\n“Yes, ma’am,” Jodie said with a smile. “It’s for the”\n“I don’t care. I’ll take it,” she said, grabbing her purse and pulling out several twenties. “How much are they?”\n“$2 each,” Daria said, watching the woman sway slightly. “Are you ok, ma’am?”\n“What? Oh, yes. Just a little lightheaded. Need my sugar fix,” she said with a laugh as she handed over a fistful of bills and grabbed the boxes of candy. As she turned, she fell hard on her face and groaned slightly, then was still.\n“Ma’am?” Jodie asked, freaked out. There was no answer.\n“Jane, go call 911. Jodie, help me roll her over,” Daria said, motioning for them to move. After several minutes, they finally got the woman onto her side and confirmed that she was indeed breathing.\n“Jane? Where are the paramedics?”\n“Pulling up now,” Jane said, trying to stay calm.\nThe paramedics came in and sighed. “It’s her again, boys.” They set to work waking her up and checking her vitals. One of the paramedics asked the girls what had happened, and when they told him, he sighed again. “Spread the word to your friends not to sell their candy here, ok? We already get called out to this place once a week because she won’t watch her insulin levels.”\n“Absolutely,” said Daria as the other two stood shocked over what had almost happened.\nThe paramedics finished up and left. The girls walked over to the woman and Jane asked, “Ma’am? Are you feeling ok now?”\n“Sorry about that, girls. I’m fine now. I guess I missed my injection this morning. Oh well. Where’s the candy at?”\nExasperated, the girls turned to the counter where the paramedics had put the three boxes. There was no sign of them.\n“The paramedics stole your candy, ma’am,” Daria said stoically.\n“Damn! They always do that. Oh well. I’ll figure this out soon enough.”\nThey started to leave when the woman yelled/wheezed, “Hey! Give me my money back!”\n\n“So you gave her the money back after the candy was stolen?” Ms. Li asked the three girls.\n“Yes, we did,” Jodie answered.\n“Why, exactly? You gave her the candy. She gave you the money. What happened next was not your fault.”\n“It was mainly to avoid calling the paramedics again,” Daria said, clenching her hands so hard her knuckles cracked. “If she had tried to stand up, or raise her voice, she would have had a heart attack.”\n“Be that as it may, the school is now out $120 dollars! How are you going to make this up?”\nQuinn walked in at that moment, her pockets overflowing with money. “I sold all my phone cards! And I got some people to give me money when I told them the school needed it. I knew my black heels and miniskirt would come in handy outside Chez Pierre!”\nThey all stared, amazed, at Quinn. After several minutes, Ms. Li finally spoke.\n“Yes, well, be that as it may, the three of you will each need to contribute somehow, or you won’t receive the grade for it. I know! Each of you will present something on Opening Night!”','6bd92d68674edb2c4bee30f2fe715ff2',0,'YA==','10ivl8ob',1,0,'',0,0,0),(465752,31723,6,809,0,'68.160.252.17',1299735344,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: World\'s Shortest Crossover','&quot;Upchuck, you talk a lot of shit for someone who never says anything.&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh, [i:1b114vlp]face![/i:1b114vlp]&quot; Jane laughed as Jodie fished a twenty from her back pocket.

It wouldn\'t explain why writing isn\'t discussed even when it isn\'t good, but besides that, writing\'s being good doesn\'t make it impossible to discuss. Example: I noticed a device in the writing of one serial fanfic here and sent the author a PM about it. The author sent me a reply saying that it was a deliberately calculated effect that he\'d meant people to notice but that nobody else had. It\'s not that nobody was reading: it\'s a popular serial.

And the great thing about it is that it\'s all untouched: they simply built the auditorium over it back in the 1920s. And because it is so pristine (archaeologically speaking) there is also the exciting possibility of discovering even earlier stuff below this. \n\nI know that this may seem a little ho-hum to those of you who live in longer settled areas of the world, but you have to remember that Queensland celebrated its 150th birthday back in 2009, and Brisbane was basically established as a penal settlement in 1824. So this is pretty big news here. The debate now raging is, how do we preserve this slice of Queensland history? In situ would be nice, but considering that this is in the main auditorium (which is itself heritage listed), it could be... interesting.\n\nI\'ll try and keep people posted on future developments.','ce11e4afc9acfe043a203cad20db3f95',0,'MA==','1f0kbghw',1,0,'',0,0,0),(465778,31919,3,849,0,'67.142.162.26',1299745957,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: The Completely Random Post Thread: Common Cold Edition','[quote=&quot;The Sidhe&quot;:2fpd95by][url=http&#58;//video&#46;google&#46;com/videoplay?docid=-76123313707631450#:2fpd95by]A classic piece of music superimposed upon a classic movie.[/url:2fpd95by][/quote:2fpd95by]\n\nDude, I\'ve soooo wanted to do that ever since getting a copy of Dark Side Of The Moon on vinyl.

But if my perception is accurate and that kind of discussion is not going on, it seems reasonable to guess that the reason is that people aren\'t interested in that kind of discussion.[/quote:o63yeib7]\n\nPlease explain this statement.

So, yes, that means he had correctly understood which point I was getting at and had answered it. Yes, what I mean by \'writing\' is, pretty much, the kind of thing that people discuss in writing classes and writing workshops.\n\nI don\'t know that people being good at it has as much importance as you suggest. It wouldn\'t explain why writing isn\'t discussed even when it isn\'t good, but besides that, writing\'s being good doesn\'t make it impossible to discuss. Example: I noticed a device in the writing of one serial fanfic here and sent the author a PM about it. The author sent me a reply saying that it was a deliberately calculated effect that he\'d meant people to notice but that nobody else had. It\'s not that nobody was reading: it\'s a popular serial. I sent a PM instead of posting to the thread because I had doubts about people\'s interest in the subject. Was I wrong?\n\nIs that enough explanation?[/quote:o63yeib7]\n\nYes. But the context you originally brought up was in terms of critique, hence my confusion, since a critique of the mechanics of writing will often start with the basics.\n\nIf you have insights into the devices you spot that you would like to share, by all means do so. The level of interest will be determined by the level of response, but I know that I for one have no problem discussing just about any aspects of my, or other people\'s, writing.','7bf0157450bdedb2b18100c95605da44',0,'gA==','o63yeib7',1,0,'',0,0,0),(465794,32133,3,1233,0,'91.157.30.67',1299769927,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Hello everybody!','[quote=&quot;TheExcellentS&quot;:3u7w6a6h][quote=&quot;Temppeli&quot;:3u7w6a6h][quote=&quot;Kara Wild&quot;:3u7w6a6h][quote=&quot;Hazazel&quot;:3u7w6a6h][quote=&quot;Temppeli&quot;:3u7w6a6h][size=50:3u7w6a6h]Katos katos.

The thirty-something-goth just seems out of place because of the military setting.[/quote:1oqi5ptf]\n\n\n\nIn a surprising turn, I won\'t make a Borg-cube of text defending the show-\n\n\n[i:1oqi5ptf](readers all gasp in relief)[/i:1oqi5ptf]\n\n\nI\'ll just say that we agree to disagree. I will, however, point out a couple of things:\n\n- Abby is a [url=http&#58;//tvtropes&#46;org/pmwiki/pmwiki&#46;php/Main/BunnyEarsLawyer:1oqi5ptf]\'bunny ears lawyer\' type[/url:1oqi5ptf] - [b:1oqi5ptf]someone so damned good at what they do[/b:1oqi5ptf] that, regardless of their personality, you DON\'T want to let them go, because [b:1oqi5ptf]they are that good[/b:1oqi5ptf], and trying to change them to conform to the norm of decorum will in fact reduce their effectiveness because in stead of now focusing on the problem, they\'re preoccupied with the changes you\'ve forced upon them. Other famous shows with characters like this - Hawkeye Pierce and (arguably) Charles Winchester from [i:1oqi5ptf]M*A*S*H[/i:1oqi5ptf], Greg House (from [i:1oqi5ptf]House, M.D.[/i:1oqi5ptf]), [i:1oqi5ptf]Ally McBeal[/i:1oqi5ptf] (and MANY other characters) from the self-titled show. In case that\'s not good enough - look at the \'real life\' section, and see [i:1oqi5ptf]just how many[/i:1oqi5ptf] famous and iconic names are mentioned there.\n\nYou\'re also incorrect about the \'military setting\', as [url=http&#58;//en&#46;wikipedia&#46;org/wiki/Naval_Criminal_Investigative_Service:1oqi5ptf]looking at the basis of the show[/url:1oqi5ptf] will show. They are NOT the military [i:1oqi5ptf]per se[/i:1oqi5ptf], but a part of the U.S. Navy that effectively acts as a federal agency (beholden to the Navy) and employs civilian special agents - as I\'m certain you\'ve noticed, they carry federal badges and are issued sidearms designated for federal agents (SigSauer semi-automatic pistols) instead of for the military (Beretta M9 mil-spec semi-autos). I also think we\'re all in agreement that there\'s quite a few civilian contractors that work for the military, in the corporate world, and definitely in the entertainment and academic worlds that don\'t fit \'the image\' but are kept around because, quite frankly, they are just that good.\n\n- Those \'assholes\' are quite realistic, both in personality and in the way they interact. How many of you are in a position at work (or perhaps, from your days in college) remember being in a specific group for a period of time long enough where you essentially act as a family? [url=http&#58;//tvtropes&#46;org/pmwiki/pmwiki&#46;php/Main/Nakama:1oqi5ptf]There is a reason why, even in-series, they\'re referred to as \'Team Gibbs\'[/url:1oqi5ptf]. Of course they\'re assholes to one another - have you ever seen a family that [i:1oqi5ptf]didn\'t[/i:1oqi5ptf] torment its own, and with relish? \n\n- As for the non-realistic setting, two things: first, remember both [url=http&#58;//tvtropes&#46;org/pmwiki/pmwiki&#46;php/Main/DonaldPBellisario:1oqi5ptf]the creator of the show[/url:1oqi5ptf] and [url=http&#58;//tvtropes&#46;org/pmwiki/pmwiki&#46;php/Main/ptitleuvmtqrxe:1oqi5ptf]his maxim[/url:1oqi5ptf]. \n\nSecond, as I\'ve mentioned on other occasions, it always makes me laugh when people talk about \'realism on television\'. [b:1oqi5ptf]That\'s not their job.[/b:1oqi5ptf] You want realism, go check out a documentary - and make sure that it\'s an actual documentary, and not a \'reality program\' masquerading as one, because reality programs are certainly not in that they\'re guided as much by scripted writing and pre-planned events as much as they are by the [url=http&#58;//en&#46;wikipedia&#46;org/wiki/Heisenberg_uncertainty_principle:1oqi5ptf]Heisenberg principle.[/url:1oqi5ptf] The job of a television program is to entertain viewers long enough to keep them there for [i:1oqi5ptf]the commercials[/i:1oqi5ptf] - the REAL point of broadcast television - and while you want a program to be as realistic as possible (one reason why the long-runners become long-running programs), if reality gets in the way of the storyline or the entertainment value of the program, then they\'re going to (and rightly so) pare down or eliminate entirely those elements.\n\n\nDamn.

[i:24288acm]The room[/i:24288acm].  Granted, the room was almost plunged in blackness save for the sunlight creeping into the open spaces, but she could make out her plastic heart and the TV tray and the rest of the room\'s topography.  Normally, this would be a blur but now Daria felt as if she possessed some sort of super vision.\n\n[i:24288acm]No.  Regular vision.  This is what regular people see.[/i:24288acm]\n\nShe woke up and entered the hallway.  She grabbed the right side of the wall with her right hand - her glasses were in her left - and prepared to grope her way down to the bathroom until she realized that the glasses were unnecessary.  Her vision was perfectly adequate; there was none of the blur that she had become accustomed to.  It was as if an old-fashioned film projector had been tightened into focus.\n\nShe brushed, dressed, prepared in every way for the day to come, grabbed her books, and prepared to walk down to the living room and wait for her mom to get ready to take her to Fielding.  The trip was uneventful until Helen\'s SUV pulled out to the end of the driveway.\n\n[i:24288acm]I\'ve forgotten my glasses[/i:24288acm], Daria thought, and almost interrupted Helen...until Daria realized that not only were the glasses not necessary, they would never be necessary again.  [i:24288acm]No time to panic.  Time to put on your big girl panties.  You can actually survive without glasses.[/i:24288acm]\n\n(* * * )\n\n&quot;Pulitzer, however, was a purveyor of what is called \'yellow journalism\' as much as William Randolph Hearst was....&quot;\n\nDaria found herself bored stiff in Intro to Journalism.  She thought that she would, you know, be assigned something to do, but instead of working on the [i:24288acm]Fielding Boarder[/i:24288acm] she found herself in classes providing a thumbnail history of journalism in the United States.  Most of the stuff she already knew, and Daria had been warned ahead of time - if you looked bored in class, Ms. Christian was known to provide extra work for those whose attentions flagged.\n\nTherefore, Daria had to put on a facade of extreme interest.  (Ms. Christian liked to grab students with a pop question - but after Daria knocked her two softball questions out of the park, Christian had stopped calling on her.)  She furrowed her brow as if to convey the message, &quot;Yes, I find this horribly interesting, and I\'m learning something brand new, so don\'t waste my time assigning me three pages on periodical circulation in the 18th century.&quot;\n\nShe wanted to adjust her glasses.  Sometimes, she\'d run her finger along the frames when she was particularly agitated.  No more.  The prop was gone.\n\n(* * *)\n\n&quot;I looked it up,&quot; Zip said.  &quot;The great thing is that your eyes will be totally healed before the meets start.  You\'ll even get in like a month of practice time!&quot;\n\n&quot;I think you look [i:24288acm]great[/i:24288acm] without glasses,&quot; Donna said, &quot;and I support you one hundred percent.&quot;\n\n&quot;Thanks.&quot;  The brouhaha Daria had hoped for had vanished.  They still didn\'t have a coach, anyway.  Fielding Swim was now rudderless.  Rather than aghast, Zip and Donna seemed entirely supportive.\n\n&quot;I mean, it\'s great that you\'re enhancing your attractiveness,&quot; Donna said.\n\n&quot;Huh?&quot;\n\n&quot;You know...to pick up guys,&quot; Donna said with an awkward smile.  &quot;Besides, that whole geek chic-Tina Fey thing is so played out now.&quot;\n\n&quot;Not interested - and [i:24288acm]not[/i:24288acm] for the reasons you think,&quot; Daria answered.\n\n&quot;Well, you did it at least to be more generally attractive,&quot; Zip said.\n\n&quot;Do you think that [i:24288acm]that\'s[/i:24288acm] the reason I got this surgery?&quot; Daria said.  &quot;I explained everything.  And what was wrong with before?&quot;\n\n&quot;Are you kidding?&quot; Zip said.  &quot;Those glasses were hideous.  I think it was like 100 percent agreed on Swim Team that those glasses were a lost cause.&quot;\n\n&quot;You can go tell Swim Team that I should be allowed to wear anything I want to. Donna\'s about as jock as they come and no one busts her over her sweatbands or headbands or anything.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeahhhhh,&quot; Donna said.  &quot;Sweatbands, one thing.  Big circular glasses, other thing entirely.  And I agree perfectly that you have a right to wear saucer plates over your eyes the same way I have a right to wear pigtails and curls or to dye my hair blue.  But don\'t think that people aren\'t going to draw conclusions based on appearance.&quot;\n\n&quot;Elsie said that people were totally uninterested in what I looked like.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah, well it might be different on the planet that [i:24288acm]you two[/i:24288acm] came from...but this is [i:24288acm]Earth[/i:24288acm]!&quot;\n\n(* * *)\n\n&quot;Well, Dar, how\'s life in the world of the sighted?&quot;\n\n&quot;Very frustrating,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;I feel very strangely...[i:24288acm]naked[/i:24288acm] without my glasses.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, it was about time you showed a little bit of skin - emotionally speaking,&quot; Elsie said.\n\n&quot;You know, I thought that without my glasses, I actually saw the world [i:24288acm]better[/i:24288acm],&quot; Daria said.  &quot;That I could see beyond surface appearances.  That unlike other people, I can see things for what they [i:24288acm]are[/i:24288acm] and not delude myself.  But you know what...I was incorrect,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;Even people I know and that I think should know better have concluded that I made this change for cosmetic reasons.  Or worse, for vanity.  I don\'t know people as well as I thought I did.  I\'m seeing way too much without my glasses.&quot;\n\n&quot;Scary, huh?&quot; Elsie said.  &quot;Look not deep into the abyss, or something.  It\'s some quote.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, the abyss is definitely looking back at me, and I can see it in plain 20/20 vision.  I\'m already having a headache, and it isn\'t related to eyestrain.  Besides, you\'re the one to talk.  When was the last time you changed [i:24288acm]your[/i:24288acm] look?  You look the same now as you did in your fourth grade family picture.&quot;\n\n&quot;Once you find a successful look,&quot; Elsie said, &quot;you keep it.  I\'ve always been a fan of classic style.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, don\'t criticize until you\'ve walked a mile in my eyeballs,&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;Oh Dar, I could make little cosmetic changes.  Trust me, you don\'t even know what taking a risk [i:24288acm]is[/i:24288acm].&quot;\n\n&quot;There\'s nothing you could do on the order of getting rid of glasses,&quot; Daria said.\n\nElsie thought for a while, and then took the ivory hair band off of her head.  &quot;There.  Major change.&quot;\n\n&quot;Hail Stefani Germanotta,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;Someone call the cops.  Fashion scandal.&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh, intercourse you.  Oh dear,&quot; Elsie said.\n\n&quot;Huh?&quot;\n\n&quot;Clayton Arbusto is walking this w - &quot; Elsie managed to get out before Clayton walked to the table and planted his tray, remaining standing. \n\n&quot;Hello...Elsie...[i:24288acm]Daria[/i:24288acm]...do you mind if I sit here?&quot;  Daria almost cringed from his drawl, a Texas drawl that Daria associated with good-ol\'-boy idiocy.\n\n&quot;There\'s no law against it,&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;Hello, Clayton,&quot; Elsie said coldly.  &quot;Nice of you to drop by.  Pity that we\'re leaving.&quot;\n\n&quot;All right,&quot; Clayton said, &quot;then when are you eating lunch again?&quot;\n\n&quot;When we find the correct [i:24288acm]state[/i:24288acm],&quot; Elsie said, &quot;we\'ll send a postcard.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, be that way,&quot; Clayton retorted.  &quot;I really wanted to talk to Daria, anyway.  I was just being polite.&quot;\n\n&quot;Elsie,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;Start the car.  I always thought that Wyoming was attractive.&quot;  Daria picked up her tray and stood up with Elsie.\n\nClayton sighed.  &quot;I\'m just trying to be friendly.  Look, how about a minute of your time?&quot;\n\n&quot;My rule is that you don\'t have to eat a whole egg to know that it\'s rotten,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;Ten seconds was enough.  Let\'s go.&quot;\n\n&quot;Daria,&quot; Clayton sighed.  &quot;I\'ll offer a compromise.  Either you can talk to me for ten minutes, and if you\'re still disgusted, I\'ll never talk to you again, or I can keep bringing my tray back every lunchtime or until you find another state to live in.  Which is it going to be?&quot;\n\n&quot;Clayton,&quot; Elsie said, &quot;This school ain\'t big enough for the both of us.&quot;\n\n&quot;I like to knock unpleasant social obligations out of the way early,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;I learned that at Fielding.  You have ten minutes, pardner,&quot; Daria answered with a hint of a drawl.\n\n&quot;Big mistake,&quot; Elsie said.\n\n&quot;I\'m a big girl now,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;[i:24288acm]Showing some skin.[/i:24288acm]  Hypothetically speaking.&quot;\n\nElsie stomped exactly one table away, and slammed the tray down--causing two fourth grade boys to scatter--watching like a hawk.  Clayton turned to Daria.  &quot;Nice friend.&quot;\n\n&quot;You have 567 seconds,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;Give or take.&quot;\n\n&quot;I understand that you\'re a Texan,&quot; Clayton said.  &quot;Where from?&quot;\n\n&quot;Highland,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;Unfortunately born there.  I never was a Texan, not in spirit.  You can keep the Alamo and all of the phony hagiography.&quot;  She looked at her watch, dramatically.  &quot;About 552 seconds now.&quot;\n\n&quot;Are you going to do that the entire conversation?&quot;\n\n&quot;Why should you care?&quot;\n\n&quot;Your parents are from Texas?&quot;\n\n&quot;My father is.  Counting from 540 seconds.  And why do you care about my parents?  Wait a second....&quot;\n\n&quot;Great,&quot; laughed Clayton.  &quot;I get one extra second.&quot;\n\n&quot;You\'re that guy who helped me up.  So thanks for that.&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m surprised you even remember who I am.&quot;\n\n&quot;Elsie doesn\'t like you,&quot; Daria said. &quot;And by extension, I don\'t either.  I trust Elsie\'s judgment.&quot; \n\nIn the background, Elsie lifted herself from her seat by two inches, hearing her name.  She was finding it hard to listen in on what Daria and Clayton were saying, as Clayton lowered his pitch to that of a quiet conversation.  With the noise surrounding them in the dining hall, Elsie could only hear random words that she was unable to string together into meaning.\n\n&quot;You trust Elsie\'s judgment ahead of your own?&quot; Clayton asked.\n\n&quot;This is a conversation, not an interrogation,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;We only have to talk for 500 seconds or so.  I\'m tempted to recite the Gettysburg Address and just call it a day.&quot;\n\n&quot;So [i:24288acm]you\'re[/i:24288acm] not going to ask me anything?&quot; Clayton said.\n\n&quot;Why should I?&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;Ah.  I get it.  You\'re just like Elsie.&quot;\n\nDaria raised an eyebrow.  Speaking quietly, she said, &quot;I suppose this is where you call me a lesbian.&quot;\n\n&quot;No,&quot; Clayton said, back.  &quot;This is where I call you a [i:24288acm]bigot[/i:24288acm].&quot;\n\n&quot;Ludicrous and stupid to boot,&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;That\'s where you\'re wrong.  You might not think much of my shitkicker accent, but I happened to learn a handful of things in this here Eastern school.  And I learned the definition of \'bigot.\'  It means a person who is devoted entirely to their own prejudices.  What is a prejudice?  It\'s from the Latin [i:24288acm]praejudicium[/i:24288acm], which means \'prior judgment.\'  A prior judgment without any experience to back it up.&quot;\n\n&quot;You know one Latin word,&quot; Daria said. &quot;Big deal.&quot;\n\n&quot;Even so.  It might be one Latin word, but at least I know what it means.  I\'ll bet that you probably concluded that I wasn\'t able to speak Latin, and that I couldn\'t handle a word with more than two syllables in it.  You just prejudged me.  Elsie\'s opinion, my accent, even the fact that I want to talk to you turns you off.  You came to a conclusion about me in about five seconds and you decided, \'there I go, I don\'t need to learn anything else about this guy.\'  And if you did learn anything else, it wouldn\'t change your mind at all.&quot;\n\n&quot;It might be a snap judgment,&quot; Daria said, &quot;but my snap judgments are better than most reasoned ones.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah, because you walk away before the other side gets to give its case.&quot;\n\n&quot;One thing I don\'t like is phony-baloney politeness,&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;Yeah, that\'s for sure,&quot; Clayton said.  &quot;But most people are interested in talking about themselves.  I wanted to actually give you the opportunity to, you know, [i:24288acm]say something[/i:24288acm] rather than be impolite and just yak about myself.&quot;\n\n&quot;You have no idea what my interests are.&quot;\n\n&quot;I can\'t read minds.  [i:24288acm]That\'s[/i:24288acm] what small talk is for.  Who\'s your family.  What classes are you taking.  What you do for fun.  Other than that, I have to ask your friends.&quot;\n\n&quot;Friends that you don\'t like.  Maybe I\'m sensing a tiny bit of bigotry.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, Daria,&quot; Clayton said, &quot;I\'ve known Elsie a lot longer than you have.  So I\'m going to offer a thumbnail sketch.  Very set in her ways.  Doesn\'t like change.  Makes snap judgments about people and things.  Long to hold a grudge, slow to forgive.  Prone to being pissed off.&quot;  (In the background, Elsie bobbed up like a plastic duck in a carnival game, straining to hear.)\n\n&quot;And you\'re missing everything positive about her.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, when she gets around to showing me something positive, my mind\'s willing to change.  I\'m not much for extending the hand of friendship and pulling back a bloody stump.  Now, you see, I ain\'t knocking her.  I\'m willing to give her a chance.  And I\'m willing to give you a chance.  So why aren\'t either of you able to return the courtesy?&quot;\n\nDaria folded her arms.  &quot;So what do you suggest I do?&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, you could start by saying \'hello.\'  Maybe a social function.&quot;\n\n&quot;Wait a second,&quot; Daria said, &quot;are you finagling for a [i:24288acm]date[/i:24288acm]?&quot;  Daria ealllly missed her glasses.\n\n&quot;See?  [i:24288acm]There you go again[/i:24288acm].  Jumping to conclusions.  Since I\'m extending, you know, sociability, there aren\'t many options.  I have no car, but I can rent one.  Maybe you could show me Lawndale.&quot;\n\n&quot;There\'s nothing to see.&quot;\n\n&quot;Then what about the shitty movies that they show on campus on Saturday?  That might be bigotry but after you look at what\'s at the movies you\'ll agree with me.&quot;\n\nDaria couldn\'t help but chuckle.  Clayton pressed his case.  &quot;Hey, give a man a break.  It\'s a fucking prison here.  Throw a prisoner a crust of bread.  You watch the movie, some mindless chit-chat, we\'re sociable - and then you can wash your hands of me.&quot;\n\nDaria looked at Clayton, who was waiting for some sort of answer.  Sensing that she had no defense, she said, &quot;One movie.  My choice.&quot;\n\n&quot;This ain\'t the Cinema Six in Waco.  I think we only get one choice.  What did my prof say?  \'Life gives you choices, but sometimes it\'s one or zero.\'&quot;\n\n&quot;Smart man.&quot;\n\n&quot;Fine.  Movie, and you can pretend that you don\'t know me, afterwards.&quot;  Clayton stood up.  &quot;Sorry if I went over the ten minutes.&quot;  He looked at Elsie, who was still glowering at him.  Raising his fingers to an imaginary cowboy hat, he said, &quot;Charmed,&quot; and moved on.\n\nAfter he walked away, Daria turned around and looked at Elsie.  Elsie tapped her foot in agitation. &quot;Well?&quot; Daria said.  &quot;What did I just do?&quot;\n\n&quot;What do you think you just did?&quot;\n\n&quot;I think I just agreed on a date with Clayton Arbusto.&quot;  \n\n&quot;God damn it, Daria, you let him seduce you.  I\'ll be he did it using logic and reason.  It\'s just like him.&quot;\n\n&quot;God damn it,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;I need my glasses back.&quot;\n\n(* * *)\n\nIt was the final class of the day - Chemistry I - and Daria and Elsie were finishing up with their experiment of recognizing elements by weight.  Elsie seemed to get the idea, although Daria decided to let Elsie do the weighing while Daria wrote up the results.  It was agreed that Daria would do the thinking and Elsie would do the lifting.\n\nAs Elsie put away the equipment, she reached for her phone, having received a text message.  The instructor was out for a break; the girls in the classroom chatted while she was away.  \n\n&quot;Daria!&quot; Elsie cried.  &quot;Call your Mom and tell her not to pick us up!&quot;\n\n&quot;Why?  Is Tom driving us home?&quot;\n\n&quot;Much better!  [i:24288acm]Uncle Tyler is back in town![/i:24288acm]&quot;\n\nDaria had heard of Elsie\'s Uncle Tyler.  According to Tom, he was the black sheep of the Sloane family, who went off the rails in his early twenties with drug and alcohol addiction and stayed there.  Elsie, on the other hand, liked to tell stories about how charming he was or the outrageous thing that Uncle Tyler did so many decades ago.  Clearly, the siblings had a difference of opinion regarding Uncle Tyler\'s merits - Daria could almost sense Tom\'s disgust whenever the conversation turned to Angier Sloane\'s younger brother.\n\n&quot;They let him out of Bakerwood?&quot;  Bakerwood was the posh facility where Tyler stayed.\n\n&quot;Daria, they don\'t [i:24288acm]let[/i:24288acm] him out.  It\'s not prison.  He can leave if he wants to leave.  Anyway, he\'s coming to pick us up, and he has a convertible!  Like a spaceship from an old movie!  You [i:24288acm]must[/i:24288acm] meet him!&quot;\n\nElsie\'s enthusiasm couldn\'t help but be contagious.  Daria informed Helen - or rather, Marianne - that Helen/Marianne could pick up Quinn, as Daria had a better ride home.  When the two walked to the outer perimeter of the campus - where the parking areas were - Daria watched Elsie\'s head bob up and down in expectation of Uncle Tyler\'s arrival.\n\nSuddenly, Elsie grabbed Daria\'s arm and started waving wildly.  Daria saw the convertible, something out of the 1960s with what looked to be the typical rich douchebag driving it.  Tyler, whoever and whatever he was, had his hair slicked back and wore mirrorshades, and pulled the old white Cadillac convertible to the curb with a speed that made Daria wonder if Elsie had inherited her driving skills from her uncle.\n\n&quot;Yayyyyy!&quot;  It was the first time that Daria had seen real gushing enthusiasm from Elsie, who even in joy kept a reserve.  She ran, skirt fluttering like a child\'s, up to the side of the convertible where Uncle Tyler mussed her hair, grabbed her and kissed her on the cheek.\n\n&quot;My favorite Sloane!&quot; he cried, and reached over and hugged her.  Elsie threw her bookbag in the back seat as if she were finally home.  &quot;Uncle Tyler, I want you to meet my friend - !&quot;\n\n&quot;Absolutely!&quot; he said, taking off his shades.  &quot;Something I have to do first, Elsiebug.  Hold on.&quot;\n\nDaria couldn\'t see Uncle Tyler kick off his shoes, but he climbed onto his upholstered front seat and stood on it as if he were an awkwardly-placed action figure.  It was then that he began to shout.\n\n&quot;UP YOURS, FIELDING!  FUCK YOU!  FUCK YOU TO HELL!  BURN DOWN TO THE FUCKING GROUND, YOU GOD-DAMNED BUNCH OF OLD FARTS!  I HOPE YOU ALL DROP DEAD OF CARDIAC ARREST AND ALL OF YOU FIELDING BITCHES GET THE CLAP!  I HEARD THAT SATAN PUT YOU ON THE WAIT LIST!  THIS ISN\'T A PREP SCHOOL, IT\'S DANTE\'S TENTH LEVEL, YOU BUNCH OF FUCKING WEASELS!  FIELDING DIE!  FUCK HABAKKUK FIELDING, THE ROTTEN OLD FUCKING INDIAN KILLER, FUCK HIS HEIRS, FUCK THE HEADMASTER AND FUCK ALL OF YOU WHO WERE GUTLESS ENOUGH NOT TO ESCAPE!!&quot;\n\nNow that Uncle Tyler had the full attention of the handful of passers-by travelling to and from the parking area, he climbed out of the convertible - socks touching the asphalt - and walked over to Daria.  &quot;So this is Daria!&quot; he said.  &quot;Elsie has told me [i:24288acm]soooo[/i:24288acm] much about you!&quot;\n\n(* * *)\n\nDaria looked over the specimen driving wildly down the state road.  His hair was solid white, a contrast to his older brother\'s black.  &quot;I guess you don\'t like Fielding, huh?&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;You told me she was great at understatement,&quot; Uncle Tyler said.\n\n&quot;Yeah!&quot; Elsie answered.\n\n&quot;Yeah, the place sucks.  I was introduced to several bad habits there.  Oh, Daria, in case Elsie didn\'t tell you, I\'m a junkie.&quot;\n\n&quot;I don\'t think she put it like that, but both she and Tom told me.&quot;\n\n&quot;So go ahead.  Ask any question.  I like to get the preliminaries out of the way.&quot;\n\nDaria decided to be bold.  &quot;What have you used?&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh, girl.  It would be simpler to say what I [i:24288acm]haven\'t[/i:24288acm] used.  I\'ll give you a snapshot of my abuses.  Marijuana.  LSD.  Pills, licit and illicit.  Heroin.  Angel dust.  Methamphetamine.  If it can be ingested, I\'ve done it.  But various forms of alcohol are what I really love, mixing alcohol with some upper.&quot;\n\n&quot;And you\'re still alive?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah, if you call this living,&quot; Tyler said.  &quot;I\'ve been sober for eleven months now.  I think that\'s a record.  The last time I was sober for eleven months I was at that god-damned prep prison, when I was at your age.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, at least you didn\'t snort fire ants like Ozzy Osbourne.&quot;\n\n&quot;If I thought fire ants could have gotten me high, I would have found some.&quot;\n\n&quot;So you\'re going to leave Bakerwood for good?&quot; Elsie asked.\n\n&quot;Let\'s not go there, yet,&quot; Uncle Tyler said.  &quot;I don\'t want to talk shop now that I\'m back in town.&quot;\n\n&quot;Where did you get this massive bourgemobile?&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;Please.  Unlike my brother, I throw a car away when it gets old.  Except for this one.  I\'ve had it in a garage for years and even at my worst I\'ve kept it in cherry condition.  I knew that when I got back to Lawndale, the first thing I\'d do would be to jump in this car, throw my niece in the back seat and drive around aimlessly with bugs in my hair.  If I\'m going to be rich, Daria, I\'m not going to be timid about it.  But enough about me.  Elsie, how\'s the romantic front coming along?&quot;\n\nElsie turned red as Uncle Tyler laughed.  &quot;Funny, you\'re not at a loss for words for anything,&quot; Uncle Tyler said.\n\n&quot;There is no \'front,\' \'back,\' or \'side.\'  There is just simply empty space.  Romance is something other people do,&quot; Elsie said.\n\n&quot;You\'ve got to put your foot in the water before you can swim.&quot;\n\n&quot;I have hydrophobia.&quot;\n\n&quot;Rabies, more like,&quot; Uncle Tyler said.  &quot;Asked anybody out?  Looked longingly at someone?  Wrote down secret dreams in your diary?&quot;\n\n&quot;Guffaw,&quot; Elsie said.  &quot;What\'s gotten into you, Uncle Tyler?&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, since I have no romantic life anymore aside from blue pills, I am feverishly interested in everyone else\'s. I can only live vicariously.&quot;\n\n&quot;In that case, I\'ll throw you my best friend\'s romantic life,&quot; Elsie said.  &quot;Daria is going out with Clayton Arbusto.&quot;\n\n&quot;Hell no,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;I am [i:24288acm]not[/i:24288acm] going out with him. I am going to see one movie with him on Saturday.&quot;\n\n&quot;What\'s this Clayton like?&quot; Uncle Tyler said.  &quot;What kind of guy does your little friend like?&quot;\n\n&quot;Hey!&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;She likes my brother.  And if I had the choice between Clayton Arbusto and Young Thomas, I\'d keep Tom.  Clayton Arbusto is a crude young man with the class of a mastiff with diarrhea and the mental capacity of a potato.  Southern and [i:24288acm]dumb[/i:24288acm],&quot; said Elsie, with a goofy pronunciation of the final word for emphasis.\n\n&quot;Does he have a big dick?&quot; Uncle Tyler said. &quot;I mean, sometimes that makes up for a lack of social graces.  You can always go far with a big dick.&quot;\n\n&quot;I could hardly imagine,&quot; Elsie sniffed.  &quot;All hat and no cattle.  Daria\'s lost her mind.&quot;\n\n&quot;That\'s it,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;I\'m cancelling this.  I made this decision when I was shell-shocked.&quot;\n\n&quot;Come again?&quot; Uncle Tyler asked.\n\n&quot;Daria\'s had the laser eye surgery,&quot; Elsie said.  &quot;She wore these very large glasses and now her self-image is wrecked, which is leading to poor decisions.&quot;\n\n&quot;Great!&quot; Uncle Tyler said.  &quot;Go with it!&quot;\n\n&quot;This from a junkie,&quot; Daria said, deliberately transgressing.\n\n&quot;Hey, you [i:24288acm]need[/i:24288acm] some delusion.&quot;\n\n&quot;What good is delusion going to do anybody?&quot; Daria asked, making a philosophical statement.\n\n&quot;The world revolves on delusion.&quot;\n\n&quot;That\'s the problem,&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;No, it\'s that there\'s just no balance. Let\'s assume that we can get people to be rational all the time.  One hundred percent rational, or as close to Mr. Spock as you care to get.  That\'s the problem.  If you\'re rational then [i:24288acm]you don\'t do anything[/i:24288acm], because you can always rationalize yourself out of it.  Think of those cavemen that rubbed two sticks together and noticed that the spot where you rubbed them got hot.&quot;\n\nUncle Tyler continued.  &quot;Now, someone might have come up with the idea that if you rubbed those sticks together hard enough and in the right way, you could probably start a fire.  But a rational person would have given that crap up after the first forty tries.  They would have just thought it was a waste of time.  It took all of those delusional people to get that fire started, the morons who didn\'t give up after the 1000th attempt.  Delusion is hard-wired into the human soul.  It helps us to forget our failures and remember our successes.&quot;\n\n&quot;But delusion breeds fanaticism,&quot; said Daria.  &quot;Like all those idiots who think that if they just try hard enough, cutting taxes to zero will sustain a modern industrial society in perpetuity.&quot;\n\n&quot;That just proved my point,&quot; Uncle Tyler said.  &quot;Too much rationality?  You don\'t do anything.  Too much delusion?  You do stupid things over and over again.  You get those guys that think that somewhere, there\'ll be a pony under that pile of shit. You have to keep life [i:24288acm]in balance.[/i:24288acm] Shit, I\'ve been in and out of rehab - what is it, sixteen times now?  If I didn\'t have delusion I wouldn\'t be alive today.  I would have given up that twelve-step stuff on step one.&quot;\n\n&quot;So you\'re saying I should give Mr. All-Hat-No-Cattle a chance?&quot; Daria said.\n\n&quot;Absolutely,&quot; Uncle Tyler said.\n\n&quot;What?&quot; Elsie said.  &quot;Uncle Tyler, it\'s pure delusion to think that a date with Clayton Arbusto could end in anything other than aggravation or disappointment.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah, but if Daria keeps thinking that, she\'s never going to date [i:24288acm]anybody[/i:24288acm].  Dating is a sheer act of delusion, of projecting the best possible outcome into the future.&quot;\n\n&quot;Exactly,&quot; Elsie said. &quot;This is why I don\'t do it.&quot;\n\n&quot;Daria, at least you\'ll get a free movie and popcorn out of it,&quot; Uncle Tyler said.  &quot;[i:24288acm]Although I\'d make sure that he isn\'t too rapey[/i:24288acm].

I see you loud and clear,&quot; Daria said.  Claire looked pretty much the same as she did at Fielding.  She looked slightly cleaner, at least, although Daria remembered that Davidson\'s hygiene wasn\'t razor sharp.  [i:17ox6yzx]Thank God for the Internet.[/i:17ox6yzx]\n\n&quot;I can see you,&quot; Claire said.  &quot;Well, welcome to Tabard.&quot;\n\nThe Tabard School had started classes a good two weeks earlier, and Claire had been too busy to schedule a conversation before that.  Daria looked behind Claire on the screen into her new quarters - newly decorated and with a bunk bed.  Claire\'s grades were good enough to admit her as a junior; Daria was glad that it was one less worry for Claire.\n\n&quot;Who\'s the roommate?&quot; Daria asked.\n\n&quot;Her name is Joan.  It\'s not as if we\'re friendly.  She\'s one of those \'sociable\' birds of prey.  Unfortunate Texas accent, like so many others here.  Hair too large.  Perfume too overpowering.  She spends enough time here to sleep and to dress, and I suppose I prefer it that way.  One of the advantages of relocation is that one can start all over again.&quot;  Daria noted Claire\'s typically dour expression and doubted that she\'d be fighting off friends with a stick.\n\n&quot;Did you get a chance to look at what I sent you?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes.  Dear old Elsie Sloane\'s schedule.  Oh, her grades are good enough, at least over the past year.  But there\'s nothing here which stands out as making a scholar.  No high grade in a difficult prof\'s course.  An avoidance of Quant.&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m dragging her into Quant.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes,&quot; Claire said, &quot;and she has dug her feet into the ground.  You will be in the position that I was with Quinn last year - teaching pigs to fly.  Unless there\'s an emerging Niels Bohr under that brittle shell of aristocratic diffidence, Elsie will get her first chauffeur before she gets her first car.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well, there\'s the chance that I could just drive her around.  Dad is teaching me.&quot;\n\n&quot;How does that go?&quot;\n\n&quot;Very simple.  \'Okay, kiddo, merge onto the freeway and wake me up when you get home.\'  He has a lot more confidence in me than I have in myself.  So far, no one has been killed, but I\'ve shortened the car\'s brake life by three years.&quot;\n\n&quot;Aren\'t you the lucky one?  When this hell is over, I intend to crawl to Manhattan and make do.  I\'ll never drive, not if I can help it.&quot;\n\n&quot;Did Quinn ever get back to you?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes, and my conversation was \'yes,\' \'hmm\' and \'you don\'t say.\'  I performed random interjections, which pleased Quinn greatly.  I don\'t know how Pat Seven puts up with it.  Although do you remember Jill Yardborough?  Quinn has not heard from her all summer.  She sounded concerned.&quot;\n\n&quot;Uh, yeah.  She\'s a seventh grader - well, eighth grader now, I guess.  Quinn promised to have her over for Winter Break, and then she went off to Italy with Grandma Barksdale leaving Jill stuck here.  I guess Jill got a spine transplant over the summer.   As for Pat, he\'s still beauty-struck.  It\'s really creepy.  Jesus, there are girls at Fielding who would run over Quinn to get a shot at him.&quot;\n\n&quot;Sooner or later, my dear, Pat will sober up.  He dropped The Slut, and Quinn will go sooner or later when he finds that her ardor is painted an inch thick.&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh?&quot; Daria said, recognizing the two key words.  &quot;You read my script?&quot;\n\n&quot;I did,&quot; Claire said.  &quot;I laughed.  I haven\'t laughed in so long.  It was good for me, Daria.&quot;\n\n&quot;Thanks.&quot;\n\n&quot;Hollywood is a cesspool of untalented hacks.  No wonder they rejected a writer of such promise, sheer jealousy.  The lout who read your script undoubtedly was a man of failed ambitions who wanted his betters destroyed.  I do not say that I envy other writers often - I\'m a weird bird; I value what I\'ve written over nearly anything written by anyone else.  I certainly envied your script.  It\'s rare that I\'m jealous of what someone else has written, but my eyes are green now.  Can you see them?&quot;\n\n&quot;Sorry,&quot; Daria said with a smirk.  &quot;Reply hazy.  Ask again later.&quot;\n\n&quot;I enjoyed your little eight-ball toy that you sent me.  I\'m sure I\'ll find much use for it.  Anyway, homework.  I must go.&quot;\n\n&quot;We\'ll talk soon?&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes.  Send me your class schedule.  When diving, avoid the water.  Toodle-oo.&quot;\n\nClaire disconnected.  It was 10 pm.  Daria sighed.  It was the final day of Summer.  Tomorrow, it would be Fielding, Fielding rah rah ree all over again.\n\n(* * *)\n\nKiki Morgendorffer\'s triumphal return to Fielding was marked, if not with a triumphal parade, then with anxious greetings.  Pat Seven was waiting for her on her arrival, quite literally waiting at the curb.  Pat took Quinn\'s hand, a hand held limply as if by a princess, and Quinn laughed when Pat pulled her out of the car.\n\n&quot;What a gentleman,&quot; Elsie said.\n\n&quot;Yes.  He will soon take her dainty hoof in marriage,&quot; Daria said.\n\nPat and Quinn walked hand in hand onto the Quad, a hive of activity, with parents escorting their children to their new dormitories, with burdens being carried if not by parents then by household staff, and with little children - third graders, most likely - looking very confused and anxious.\n\n&quot;A busy day, darling, I assume?&quot;  Pat said.\n\n&quot;Oh, definitely.  I have to meet with Patty because we\'re going to talk about Katy and Toffie.  Then there\'s a meeting at 1 pm with Sue and Buttons.  When the new Student Government comes in, they\'re going to decide on the Student Activities Allotment.&quot;\n\n&quot;Heh.  A division of spoils rightly won.  And I assume that Tops List is very important?&quot;\n\n&quot;Definitely.  You said that doesn\'t come out until next week.&quot;\n\n&quot;Right,&quot; Pat said.  &quot;The young men of Fielding have to have a chance to eye the candidates.&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:17ox6yzx]Ogle[/i:17ox6yzx] the candidates, you mean,&quot; Quinn said with atypical sharpness.  (Even Quinn didn\'t know where it came from in retrospect.)\n\n&quot;Heh.  Well, as young Blue Jays, we are all full of that vibrant male sap.  Who has hit puberty?  Who hasn\'t?&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:17ox6yzx]God.[/i:17ox6yzx]  How disgusting.&quot;\n\n&quot;Way of the world, fair angel.  For example, geek to the right and take a look at yon young specimen.&quot;\n\nQuinn looked to the right, where she saw a blond girl with pigtails and socks that looked like they were painted on chatting with two young guys who hung on to every word.  The target of the young men\'s affection put her index finger to her cheek in a cute way and giggled.\n\n&quot;Pleasant girl,&quot; Pat said.\n\n&quot;[i:17ox6yzx]Totally contrived[/i:17ox6yzx],&quot; Quinn said.  &quot;Smile, bat eyes, and compliment.  God.  Where do they come up with girls like that?&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m sure you\'ll get a chance to see each other when they vote her into Tops List,&quot; Pat said.\n\n&quot;Not if I can help it.  I\'ve never seen her before.  No [i:17ox6yzx]arrivistes[/i:17ox6yzx].  We are so totally vetting Tops List.  Pat, you\'ll help with Katy and Toffie.&quot;\n\n&quot;I shall put good words in for them.  Oh, by the way, dear heart, it looks like I might have a place for myself on the Lacrosse Team.  I\'ll have a chance to fling the old shuttlecock around or whatever it is.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah, that\'s great,&quot; Quinn said, her attention elsewhere and not noticing Pat\'s stricken expression.  &quot;That little so-and-so is coming this way.  [i:17ox6yzx]Scoot[/i:17ox6yzx].  It\'s better that you don\'t see me having to snow her on.&quot;\n\nPat was left to eat Quinn\'s dust as Quinn turned away.  She decided to walk slowly away, to give the newcomer a chance to walk up to her and to give Quinn a chance to practice what she was going to say.\n\n&quot;Kiki!&quot; the girl said with a slight Southern twang.\n\n&quot;Hmm?&quot; Quinn said, finally turning.  &quot;Well, hello.&quot;  She extended her hand, batted her eyes, and smiled. &quot;Why, you must be....&quot;\n\nIt was then that the newcomer\'s confusion and Quinn\'s final recognition of the newcomer collided, with both of them saying the same word at the same time.\n\n&quot;[i:17ox6yzx]Jill[/i:17ox6yzx]!&quot;\n\nIt was Jill Yardborough.  Quinn was astonished at the complete change of appearance.  Jill - or Jill II or whatever she should call this person - seemed to have very little in common with the other person of the same name.  For example, it looked like Jill had not only lost the weight that Quinn had asked but more besides, and the chubbiness of puberty had evaporated, the evidence in Jill\'s stem-like legs, with white stockings almost painted on.  The hair was significantly longer than a summer\'s worth could go, the makeup was expertly applied and Jill looked Quinn square in the eye with a welcoming and pleasant expression and the hint of a smile.  Jill\'s skirt had been rolled to about an inch above Fielding\'s regulation length (like that of any good Top) and her accessories were expensive and spotless, with a demure necklace of pearl and gold adorning her neck.\n\n&quot;Jill!&quot; Quinn cried.  &quot;What happened - ?&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh, Quinn!  I\'m sorry I haven\'t written!&quot;  It was Apologetic Jill all over again.  &quot;The summer has been awful busy!&quot;  There it was again, that southern South Carolina twang that was now more pronounced.  &quot;Anyway, I was scheduled to go to geology camp, but I knew I wasn\'t making any progress in what you asked me to do.  So I asked my parents if I could skip geology camp and go to [i:17ox6yzx]beauty camp instead[/i:17ox6yzx]!  In Paris!&quot;\n\n&quot;You\'ve been to [i:17ox6yzx]Paris[/i:17ox6yzx]?&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh, it was grrrrrand!&quot; Jill said.  &quot;But Mademoiselle de Bacque forbade any use of social media!  We studied couture, makeup, modeling, and etiquette - and I learned a lot from those French models who were my instructors.  [i:17ox6yzx]Waif[/i:17ox6yzx] and [i:17ox6yzx]Val[/i:17ox6yzx] were practically my [i:17ox6yzx]bibles[/i:17ox6yzx]!  That, and a few well-regarded French fashion magazines.  Cutting edge stuff.  You should know.  It was a real finishing school!&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'ll say!&quot;\n\n&quot;And I had to come home and there were a hundred other things and....&quot;  Jill looked sad.  &quot;Oh, Quinn, [i:17ox6yzx]can you ever forgive me[/i:17ox6yzx]?&quot;\n\nThere was no question.  &quot;[i:17ox6yzx]Of course[/i:17ox6yzx]!  I\'m just glad to know you\'re all right.&quot;\n\nJill smiled, as if she had earned some secret triumph.  She clapped her hands, giddily. &quot;I\'m sure Tops is going to be wonderful this year! But...do you think the boys will like me?&quot; She half-frowned, half-pouted.\n\n&quot;I don\'t think you have anything to worry about,&quot; Quinn said.\n\n&quot;Great!  I want to hear about everything that happened to you this summer!  And I\'ll tell you everything those models told me about sex and liquor!&quot;\n\n(* * *)\n\nIt was after her inaugural lunch of the Fall Term that Daria found herself waiting on the arrival of Lon Richardson, the well-regarded science fiction author who was going to be teaching Fantasy and Imagination.  She found herself waiting with six other girls that she had never seen before - none of them had been in her classes before, but from overhearing discussion she knew that two of them were juniors.\n\nFinally, Lon Richardson arrived.  He looked exactly the way he looked on the book jacket.  Thin, balding, glasses, and a white beard.  She was hoping to engage him in after-class discussion regarding his book [i:17ox6yzx]Einstein\'s Incantation[/i:17ox6yzx]; it was one of her favorites.\n\nRichardson arrived, very dour-looking. &quot;Hello, class.  I\'ll cut right to the chase.  As you can tell, there are only seven of you taking F &amp; I this term.  According to the Admin, that\'s too few.  Unless things change at the end of the week, [i:17ox6yzx]this course will be canceled[/i:17ox6yzx].  Normally, this is a counterfactual but with only seven students, this is a done deal.  Fielding isn\'t going to pay me to teach a class with just seven people in it.&quot;\n\n&quot;What the hell?&quot; Daria said, and out loud.  &quot;This is the second damn time this has happened to me.&quot;  Technically, it was the first.  She had signed up for Acting but didn\'t get it and was given her second choice; this time she had gotten her first choice only to have it taken away.\n\n&quot;Sorry,&quot; Richardson said. &quot;Not my fault.  Nothing I can do.&quot;\n\n&quot;You can move us in with the boys!&quot; cried one girl.\n\n&quot;Tried it.  It didn\'t fly.  Fielding won\'t budge on that.  Trust me, the boys would be glad to have you there but the administration won\'t concede any ground.&quot;\n\n&quot;Well,&quot; said another girl. &quot;This sucks donkey dicks.&quot;\n\nAnother girl gasped at the profanity, but Richardson just chuckled.  &quot;I would have put it differently, but that was briefer and to the point.&quot;\n\n&quot;Couldn\'t they just turn this into a study hall?&quot; Daria asked. &quot;And then, you could teach us under the table?&quot;\n\n&quot;Could...but [i:17ox6yzx]won\'t[/i:17ox6yzx]. My old friend the Admiral used to tell me, \'Lonnie, never do anything for free.  There\'s no such thing as a free lunch.\'   I\'m sorry.  You\'ll have to contact the Fielding Administration office for further updates.  Check your e-mail is all I can say.  Good day.&quot;\n\nDaria fumed.  The other classes - her other electives - had probably filled up.  One was about the modern novel; the other was a course devoted entirely to the works of protest literature.  Either of those classes would have been great substitutes; now she was at someone else\'s mercy - probably stuck in a god-damned class that no one wanted to take and for good reason, she thought.  The disappointed young women in the room picked up their bookbags and now faced an uncertain future, Daria included.\n\n(* * *) \n\nThat afternoon, Daria got the dreaded e-mail from the Admin office.  (She still hadn\'t had word on a new hire from Fielding Swim; there was little for the Swim Team to do but tread water until their new coach arrived.)\n\nTo:  <!-- e --><a href=\"mailto:dmorgendorffer@fielding.edu\">dmorgendorffer@fielding.edu</a><!-- e -->\nFm:  <!-- e --><a href=\"mailto:admin@fielding.edu\">admin@fielding.edu</a><!-- e -->\nRe:  Course Substitution\n\nThe following courses are to be substituted for the ones listed below, where indicated.\n\nPrevious:   Fantasy and Imagination (Richardson)\nReplacement:  Journalism (Daniels)\n\n- Gail Merritt, English Department\n\n[i:17ox6yzx]Journalism[/i:17ox6yzx].  She had done that at Highland High School.  All and all, it was light work.  There was a small amount of coursework.  The occasional article contribution, which could be written in fifteen minutes.  Daria also knew how to use a camera, so she could provide her own pictures.  As long as they didn\'t make her Fashion Editor, Daria would forgive Fielding.  [i:17ox6yzx]It looks like they finally got something right.[/i:17ox6yzx]\n\n(* * *)\n\nJill and Becky Ann had caught up with each other the night before, when Jill returned to Fielding.  Becky Ann seemed to like the changes, and for the first time - ever - the two had chatted about boys, fashion, and accessories.  It was the first day of school, and after Becky Ann\'s dismal Spring Term she had trotted off to the library to get a start on her homework.\n\nFinally, Jill had the room to herself.  [i:17ox6yzx]I\'m glad you enjoyed our chat together, because it\'s going to be a short one.  After I make Tops, I\'m going to swap roommates with one of the new Tops candidates.  I always had to make do with Touchy You because I wasn\'t popular enough to have a cool roommate, and I\'ve already had three girls ask me today to move in with them.[/i:17ox6yzx]\n\nThere was still a call to make.  It was 9:48 pm, and it would be an impossibly early hour in Paris.  However, it was likely that she was still awake.  Jill heard the computer-like ringtone of European telephones, and then a pickup.\n\n&quot;[i:17ox6yzx]Allô?[/i:17ox6yzx]&quot;\n\n&quot;Mademoiselle de Bacque?  It\'s Jill!  Jill Yardborough!&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:17ox6yzx]Oh, yes!  Jill, my little student![/i:17ox6yzx]&quot;  Mademoiselle de Bacque\'s accented voice leapt from syllable to syllable like an ex-ballerina.  Jill could hear the sound of a social function in the wee hours of the morning.  &quot;[i:17ox6yzx]How are you?[/i:17ox6yzx]&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m great!  I\'m back at Fielding, and I took your advice!&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:17ox6yzx]Ah![/i:17ox6yzx]&quot;  It was a sound of approval.  &quot;[i:17ox6yzx]So?  How did it go?[/i:17ox6yzx]&quot;\n\n&quot;She bought it!&quot;  Jill was almost gleeful.\n\n&quot;[i:17ox6yzx]But of course,[/i:17ox6yzx]&quot; Mademoiselle said.  &quot;[i:17ox6yzx]Your excuse was paper-thin.  That you could not call her, could not contact her if you wished, but - when you returned and provided your justification - it was accepted at, how you say, face value?  Now, little Jill, why is that?[/i:17ox6yzx]&quot;\n\n&quot;Because I\'m popular?&quot;  It was both a question and an answer.\n\n&quot;[i:17ox6yzx][b:17ox6yzx]Bien sûr[/b:17ox6yzx].  To be popular, you see, is to be endlessly forgiven.  One transgresses, and every transgression in life, you see little Jill, is a tally, and there are those that make such tallies.  You offend them, and they expect to be paid.  But with beautiful girls, it is not so.  The popular person transgresses, and they pay with a smile, by one\'s presence.  It\'s not the excuse that makes up for the [b:17ox6yzx]faux pas[/b:17ox6yzx], it is the fact that [b:17ox6yzx]you made it[/b:17ox6yzx], being beautiful Jill Yardborough. Understand?[/i:17ox6yzx]&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes,&quot; Jill said.  She never thought that Quinn wouldn\'t be able to see right through it.  Mademoiselle was right all along.\n\n&quot;[i:17ox6yzx]Now, you are glad that I did not have you call, eh?[/i:17ox6yzx]&quot;\n\n&quot;Very glad.&quot;\n\n&quot;[i:17ox6yzx]Good.  Now, I must go because I have many excuses to give tonight.  Much love and [b:17ox6yzx]au revoir[/b:17ox6yzx]![/i:17ox6yzx]&quot;  The connection was lost.\n\nIt was true.  It was a moment that Jill had feared all summer, and it took Mademoiselle\'s faith and confidence to build it up.  Now, Jill had power...and she knew that she could use that power, and could depend on it.  Tops would be wonderful, her and Quinn\'s world together.','6992418daecac09ab1242adf37b30524',0,'YA==','17ox6yzx',1,0,'',0,0,0),(465856,32146,5,785,0,'200.68.67.193',1299794852,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: NCIS','[url=http&#58;//doctorgrasshopper&#46;wordpress&#46;com/2010/01/23/if-you-shock-a-flatline-i-swear-i-will-come-to-your-home-and-beat-you-with-a-wet-chicken/:2y3eohdx]Then, there\'s this, which even House and any other medical drama does.[/url:2y3eohdx]\n\nI just don\'t get why so many shows get so many things wrong.\n\nBTW, I wouldn\'t call NCIS a \'trash\' show.

From the days of radio, banging two coconut halves together was the standard way to generate the sound effect of horse-hooves. Anyone who has ever actually been around a horse knows that horse-hooves rarely sound anything at all like that, and never sound more than just a very little bit like that. All the same, that sound became so ingrained in the public consciousness that even when it later became possible to insert much more realistic sound effects, the coconut sound effect was still used. The audience wouldn\'t accept horse hooves making a sound not generated by coconuts.\n\nThis was parodied in the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail: They didn\'t actually have horses, just the coconuts. Ironically, the producers actually wanted to use real horses but didn\'t have the budget and the coconuts did a better job at the whole Rule Of Funny bit.\n\nWhile audiences have finally outgrown that particular quirk, there are others which persist. The thwpt sound of a gun with silencer (which sounds nothing like an actual silenced pistol); the \'\'ping\'\' sound made by a specular reflection; the click of a remote control, so ubiquitous that a recent mobile app phone added clicking sounds to its touch screen; the loud thump of lights turning on or off; or noisy explosions in space.\n\nThere are also fistfight noises (the \'whump\' of a person getting punched in the face, or the exaggerated smack of a boxing glove) that must be certain way or they won\'t be believed.\n\nIn a medieval setting, whenever a sword is unsheathed, there needs to be a a sound of scraping metal, even if the sheath is made of leather. In sword duels, there is a loud, echoing clash of metal when, in reality, swords just make a small \'tink\' sound.\n\nCar and driving noises. &quot;Wildest Police Chases&quot;/&quot;Wildest Security Camera Video&quot;-type programs are big on this. Squealing tires and crunchy crashes are all dubbed in after the fact, especially in the cases featuring security camera footage, which rarely features an audio track.\n\nSee also Reality Is Unrealistic, Audible Sharpness, Mickey Mousing, Radio Voice, Beeping Computers, V 8 Engine Noises and the semi-related Extreme Graphical Representation. Related in concept is The CSI Effect and Eagleland Osmosis. Nothing to do with Coconut Superpowers. Thankfully, this won\'t be causing any real-world casualties.

The &quot;Pre-Rush Party&quot; banner was being hoisted up by a couple of the Gammas\' boytoys.  They were met at the door by Brittany, who showed them where they would be performing. With Jane\'s help, it only took forty-five minutes for the band to be ready.  Being the band\'s unofficial &quot;hostess&quot;, Brittany pointed to where the food, drinks, and bathrooms were.  Jane made mental notes, because she knew that she would be the only sober one of the group by the time the party got into full swing.  While the band began on their first of many beers of the concert, Jane stepped outside to double check the van for anything that may have been missed.  As she closed the van door, she was surprised to see Brittany standing behind her.  Jane instantly tensed up.\n\n&quot;Umm, do you know if Daria is going to make it?&quot;  Brittany asked.\n\nJane looked at her watch.  &quot;Hang on, I\'ll call her - she should be on her lunch break,&quot;  Jane said as flipped up her cellphone.  A few minutes later, she turned to the cheerleader.  &quot;Daria\'s getting off at seven, so she should be here around seven-thirty.  Her sister, Quinn, is driving her.&quot;\n\n&quot;Quinn - you mean the red-headed freshman that I\'ve heard some of the guys on the football team talk about?  That\'s her sister?&quot;\n\nJane nodded, &quot;Yep.&quot;\n\n&quot;Wow -  I had no clue.  I know that Amy invited her as a potential member prospect.  Are you or Daria in a sorority?&quot;\n\n&quot;The only school activity I\'ve heard Daria mention being a part of was the fencing team.  As for me, there is no way in hell I could afford being in one.&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh,&quot;  Brittany said and then got quiet for a minute.  &quot;Umm ... Jane, I know you probably don\'t want to hear this from me - but I\'m sorry for what happened while we were in high school.&quot;\n\n&quot;Brittany,&quot;  Jane sighed.  &quot;You have nothing to apologize for.  You weren\'t the person who opened their big mouths in front of the entire student body in the cafeteria.  You were just that bitch\'s best friend.&quot;\n\n&quot;Who didn\'t speak to her for a couple of months afterwords.  You weren\'t the only one mad at her, Jane.&quot;\n\n&quot;Why were mad at her?  It wasn\'t like she screamed your secret out for the whole world to hear.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes - in a way, she did.  See, I was Evan\'s other victim,&quot;  Brittany whispered. \n\nJane stared at Brittany as her jaw dropped.  &quot;I knew that the other victim was a cheerleader, but the police wouldn\'t tell me who.  I had no idea it was you.  Why are you telling me this now?&quot;\n\n&quot;Because I still have nightmares about it, and could use someone around who understands,&quot; Brittany\'s voice broke.\n\nJane lowered her head.  &quot;You\'re not the only one.&quot;\n\nDaria and Quinn arrived shortly before eight.  Much to the surprise of the auburn-haired woman, Brittany and Jane were sitting on the sorority house steps talking.  Brittany looked up and saw the Morgendorffer siblings heading their way.  The four of them spoke briefly before heading into the house.  Jane led Daria to where Mystik Spiral were sitting between sets.  Trent offered to get Daria a beer, but she refused.  After the group talked for a few more minutes, Trent and the rest of Mystik Spiral got up to begin their second set.\n\nThirty minutes later, Brittany joined the two of them.  &quot;Daria - you didn\'t tell me that your grandmother was an elite!  You know that it makes you and Quinn automatically eligible to join the Gammas!&quot;\n\nDaria looked over at Brittany with anger in her eyes, then quickly walked out of the room, leaving the blonde and Jane in a state of confusion.  They soon followed her out of the house.  Daria was halfway to her car when Jane and Brittany caught up to her.\n\n&quot;I don\'t want a thing to do with the Gammas or anything else my grandmother was a part of,&quot;  Daria growled.','b538f329d2e171c48c2467bae1435795',0,'QA==','kvg6dicg',1,0,'',0,0,0),(465876,32155,5,26,0,'74.70.232.22',1299800588,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Spoiler schedule for 3/13-19/2011','A very light week ahead.\n\nAnyhow. . .\n\nMonday:  New ep of [i:2h8zutbb]MAD:  The Animated Series[/i:2h8zutbb]\n\nConsider yourself warned.   <!-- s:D --><img src=\"{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" title=\"Very Happy\" /><!-- s:D -->','0be82364a3b848e65e14ebcfbda4fa90',0,'IA==','2h8zutbb',1,0,'',0,0,0),(465877,31919,3,1097,0,'149.171.7.45',1299800592,1,0,1,0,1,1,'','Re: The Completely Random Post Thread: Common Cold Edition','I wonder whether that cat\'s interest in Mythbusters has any connection with the adventures of Moby Tom.\n\n<!-- m --><a class=\"postlink\" href=\"http://www.google.com.au/search?q=%22Moby+Tom%22+site%3Airregularwebcomic.net&amp;btnG=Search&amp;hl=en&amp;lr=&amp;sa=2\">http://www.google.com.au/search?q=%22Mo ... n&amp;lr=&amp;sa=2</a><!-- m -->\n<!-- m --><a class=\"postlink\" href=\"http://www.google.com.au/search?q=cat+Mythbusters+site%3Airregularwebcomic.net&amp;hl=en&amp;num=10&amp;lr=&amp;ft=i&amp;cr=&amp;safe=images&amp;tbs=\">http://www.google.com.au/search?q=cat+M ... mages&amp;tbs=</a><!-- m -->','fb365482b084dd6b4893ff7f630c1512',0,'','18cq2sya',1,0,'',0,0,0),(465878,32151,6,1218,0,'67.190.3.128',1299800790,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Veritas Quietus (Non-Daria, DnD Setting)','I played DnD for a brief stint.

From the days of radio, banging two coconut halves together was the standard way to generate the sound effect of horse-hooves. Anyone who has ever actually been around a horse knows that horse-hooves rarely sound anything at all like that, and never sound more than just a very little bit like that. All the same, that sound became so ingrained in the public consciousness that even when it later became possible to insert much more realistic sound effects, the coconut sound effect was still used. The audience wouldn\'t accept horse hooves making a sound not generated by coconuts.\n\nThis was parodied in the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail: They didn\'t actually have horses, just the coconuts. Ironically, the producers actually wanted to use real horses but didn\'t have the budget and the coconuts did a better job at the whole Rule Of Funny bit.\n\nWhile audiences have finally outgrown that particular quirk, there are others which persist. The thwpt sound of a gun with silencer (which sounds nothing like an actual silenced pistol); the \'\'ping\'\' sound made by a specular reflection; the click of a remote control, so ubiquitous that a recent mobile app phone added clicking sounds to its touch screen; the loud thump of lights turning on or off; or noisy explosions in space.\n\nThere are also fistfight noises (the \'whump\' of a person getting punched in the face, or the exaggerated smack of a boxing glove) that must be certain way or they won\'t be believed.\n\nIn a medieval setting, whenever a sword is unsheathed, there needs to be a a sound of scraping metal, even if the sheath is made of leather. In sword duels, there is a loud, echoing clash of metal when, in reality, swords just make a small \'tink\' sound.\n\nCar and driving noises. &quot;Wildest Police Chases&quot;/&quot;Wildest Security Camera Video&quot;-type programs are big on this. Squealing tires and crunchy crashes are all dubbed in after the fact, especially in the cases featuring security camera footage, which rarely features an audio track.\n\nSee also Reality Is Unrealistic, Audible Sharpness, Mickey Mousing, Radio Voice, Beeping Computers, V 8 Engine Noises and the semi-related Extreme Graphical Representation. Related in concept is The CSI Effect and Eagleland Osmosis. Nothing to do with Coconut Superpowers. Thankfully, this won\'t be causing any real-world casualties.

They went out, found the best actor for how they wanted Tigh portrayed (though granted I don\'t know who was considered) and cast him.  Should they have limited the casting for Adama to strictly Caucasian actors because Lorne Greene originally played the part?  They didn\'t and we\'re better for it.  (Odd how there was so much bitching regarding the casting of Starbuck, Boomer, and Tigh, but such is the power of Eddie Olmos that nobody said anything about him playing Adama).  It is weird how the new BSG could be really progressive in some ways (Laura Roslyn was one hell of a character), and not in others -- there were several major characters played by minorities, but only one I\'d say is black (Dualla).

It is weird how the new BSG could be really progressive in some ways (Laura Roslyn was one hell of a character), and not in others -- there were several major characters played by minorities, but only one I\'d say is black (Dualla).

Rather than simply sit back and watch their creations go about their business, these deities have their hand in, moving their followers like pieces in a cosmic chess game upon which the existence of the universe depends.\n\nFor this reason, they are also supposed to mean something more for and be important to [i:1lxwiydb]all[/i:1lxwiydb] of the PCs, not just the cleric.\n\n[quote:1lxwiydb]They still seem a little cut-edit-pasted from the players handbook[/quote:1lxwiydb]\nWhile I did borrow some small elements here and there (Sibrex\'s clerics being constrained to LG or LN, for example) and excepting natural instances of overlap that can\'t be avoided (there\'s only so many ways you can make a dwarven god, for instance, without completely changing the nature of dwarves themselves), none of the deities have been copy/pasted from the [i:1lxwiydb]Player\'s Handbook[/i:1lxwiydb].\n\nFor instance, Hysterian and Belgraad were among the very first 3E D&amp;D characters I ever created.  Skatter was a [i:1lxwiydb]Shadowrun[/i:1lxwiydb] conman PC and then later a Johnson NPC when I became a full-time GM.  Melethin was a justice-obsessed Fhargul Force Adept I played in a [i:1lxwiydb]Star Wars RPG[/i:1lxwiydb] campaign.  Slyp is from a short and rather silly series of science-fiction stories I wrote when I was a kid.  Xorbis came from a mental exercise I performed back in high school to create the most evil and diabolical villain I could think of.  Andrea was the main character from a text-based adventure I was trying to write in BASIC forever ago.  Sibrex, Shay, Gorgoron, Sarin, and several others were from a previous pantheon I build for my own amusement, with the only real difference being they have fantasy origins and trappings now rather than science-fiction.  Others such as Dester, Ka\'Ress, and Preiss I made up from more or less whole cloth.\n\nSome similarities to already established D&amp;D deities were more or less inevitable since I did create this for D&amp;D, but the only source that I copy/pasted any of these deities from was myself.  Well . . . and Cirix was actually based on two or three video game characters I like.  But in the end, for whatever small bits they have in common due to necessity, it\'s the depth and details in the fleshed out parts that make them different from the standard D&amp;D pantheon.\n\n[quote=&quot;untra&quot;:1lxwiydb]And the illustrations for the first three goddess (Alia, Andrea and Bek) are pretty well done.[/quote:1lxwiydb]\nThank you.

Any suggestions?”\n“Only that you tack my name onto it. What am I going to do for a coffee house?”\n“Paint a clichéd waste of canvas to hang over the espresso machine?” Daria asked in jest, surprised as Jane’s face brightened and she ran out of the room.\n“Well, at least one muse isn’t working on a government salary,” Daria mumbled as she opened a new file on her computer and started typing.\n\nJodie paced in her room, mumbling to herself as she tried to figure out what to do for her presentation on Opening Night. She was scratching out an entire page of ideas when she heard a knock on the door, followed by her father walking in.\n“Dad?” she asked, worried. She hadn’t spoken to either of her parents since the night when she had exploded at them.\n“Jodie, I just want to talk with you,” Andrew said, standing by her door. “I wanted to tell you I’m sorry for what I said about Mack. It was cruel of me to throw that in your face so soon after what happened.”\n“Dad, I’m sorry too. I shouldn’t have blown up like I did and yelled at you.”\n“It’s alright. Oh, and I wanted you to know that I spoke with Ms. Li, and I made a deal with her so that you don’t have to perform at the Opening Night.”\n“Really? How?”\n“I paid her the money that went missing, and she agreed to call it even.”\n“Thanks, dad! I’ll let Jane and Daria know tomorrow.”\n“Wait a second, sweetie,” he said with a chuckle. “I didn’t do anything for [i:3hb2pl1o]them[/i:3hb2pl1o]!”\n“Why not? They were there with me when we gave the money back.”\n“Jodie, they broke your nose and got you suspended, remember? I’m just glad the doctor was able to set your nose so that it wouldn’t look like it had broken.”\n“Dad, I’m over that. It was all a huge misunderstanding, and it was mostly my fault anyway.”\n“It doesn’t matter whose fault it was, Jodie,” he said gently, as if explaining something to a small child. “What matters is that you’re off the hook and someone else is taking the fall.”\n“That’s horrible!”\n“That’s business,” he said with a shrug, leaving the room. Fuming, Jodie picked up her phone, then remembered that she didn’t have Daria’s number. She slammed it down and grabbed her notebook, finally inspired.\n\nDaria walked into Jane’s work room, carrying a stack of printed sheets. She was amazed at the artistic representations of their classmates and teachers, all looking happy and enjoying being together.\n“Your portion of the opening night festivities?” Daria asked.\n“Yeah. I figured they could use something besides Ms. Defoe’s wind chimes. What’s that there?” Jane asked, pointing at the papers.\n“My portion,” Daria said, handing it over. Jane read it, then looked at Daria in shock.\n“Are you sure?”\n“No, I’m not. But I need to do this before I get so unsure that I never do it.”\n\nOpening night at alt.lawndale.com was going swimmingly in Timothy O’Neill’s eyes. Young people were drinking coffee and expressing themselves on stage. Sure, that one lad who had destroyed his guitar looked sad at the end, but sadness is an emotion too, so that’s alright, isn’t it?\nBrittany and Kevin looked happy on stage, although what the football represented was hard for Timothy to figure out, especially since Brittany decided to improvise a monologue and walk off stage suddenly. How creative of her!\nAmelia (Andrea? Ashley?) was reciting a poem she had written. It was kind of icky for Timothy’s standards, but it was a poem and he therefore loved it.\nWhen Jodie took the stage, Timothy put down his decaf herbal tea and listened closely.\n\n[i:3hb2pl1o]You all see me here\nThe perfect student\nAfrican Queen\nBut do you really know me?\nDo you see beneath the surface?\nCan you feel my pain?\nOr walk in my shoes?\nCan you undo my wrongs?\nCan anyone?[/i:3hb2pl1o]\n\nShe sat down to an awed silence that lasted several minutes.\nDaria took the stage amidst the silence and spoke quietly into the microphone.\n\n[i:3hb2pl1o]“Here in America, we believe in the American Dream. If you work hard, and are a good person, then good things will happen to you and you will be happy. The harder you try, the better your life will become.\n“This is true for most Americans, but not for a little girl named Dakota. She lived in a house where she was happy, but was always alone. Her mother was away all day trying to be better, and her father was away all day providing for the family. She stayed at the school all day in the library alone after the other little kids went home and waited for her father.\n“Then, one day, her father told her that her grandparents were coming to visit, and that she could play with them every day after school instead of staying in the library. Little Dakota was so happy, because she wouldn’t be alone anymore.\n“Dakota was very happy with her grandmamma, but there was a very bad Mad Dog that would chase her, and bark at her every day. Sometimes she would hide in her room, but the Mad Dog would get the door open and find her, and then he would hurt her very badly. She tried to tell her father, but her father was too busy to listen. She tried to tell her grandmamma, but she didn’t believe her and said that the Mad Dog was nice and loved her and was just playing. She tried to tell the people at her school, but they just laughed. The only person who believed her was her little sister, who always hid when the Mad Dog came after Dakota, but Dakota wasn’t mad at her little sister because she was so little she couldn’t stop the Mad Dog.\n“Then, one day, the Mad Dog hurt little Dakota so bad that everyone had to stop and listen. Some big strong men came and took the Mad Dog away, and the Mad Dog was put down so he’d never hurt anyone ever again.\n“Little Dakota was very angry at everyone who didn’t believe her. Her mother and father tried to tell her they were sorry, but little Dakota told them to go away. One day, she was so scared that the Mad Dog might come back that she ran away and met a beautiful woman named Melody. Melody helped Dakota get home and told her that she was not a bad girl, and that her mother and father loved her very much, and that the Mad Dog would never hurt her again.\n“A long time passed, and Dakota got older. She was not a happy girl, though. She was always angry over what the Mad Dog had done to her, and that no one had tried to save her. She was so angry and so sad that she never had any friends.\n“Then, one day, a girl came over to Dakota and asked her to play. Dakota didn’t want to play, but the girl was so nice to her that they became best friends. They were best friends for years, and told each other all their secrets, but Dakota never told her friend about the Mad Dog until one special day.\n“Dakota was very sad that day, and her friend made her feel better. Because of that, when her friend asked her why she was so sad, Dakota told her all about how the Mad Dog had hurt her, then made her friend promise to never tell anyone.\n“Her friend told everyone she saw, and soon everyone knew about Dakota and the Mad Dog. Dakota was so mad, she told her friend to never talk to her again.\n“One day, shortly after that, Dakota’s mother told her they were moving to a place far away, where no one had ever heard of the Mad Dog and they could be happy again. Dakota was happy to leave, but was scared that she would never have a friend again.”[/i:3hb2pl1o]\n\nDaria walked off the stage and sat down. The silence was so complete that Mr. O’Neill passed out from shock when a coffee cup fell to the floor and shattered.\n\nThat night, as they were getting ready for bed, Jane said, “Hey, Daria?”\n“Yeah?” Daria asked as she pulled her sleep-shirt on.\n“Why’d you do it?”\nDaria sighed. “I was tired of hiding it. I just…needed to get it off my chest without giving away all the….details. Dr. Samuels was right. I needed to talk about it. Plus, maybe it’ll get people to leave me alone.”\nThey finished changing in silence.\n“I knew.”\n“Daria turned slowly. “What?”\n“I knew about your GrandDad. Your dad told me about it the day after Quinn’s little sorority escapade.”\n“Why didn’t you say anything?” Daria asked, feeling her temper start to rise.\n“Because you didn’t want me to know. So I acted like I didn’t, because it was what you wanted.”\nDaria was shocked. Her family were the only ones who had ever said such a thing before. “Thank you for not saying anything to anyone.”\n“I’ve just got to ask: how close were you to the girl who stabbed you in the back?”\nDaria stood still for a moment, then whispered, “She made you and me look like complete strangers.” Tears started to fall from her eyes.\nJane hugged Daria tightly, stroking her hair as Daria cried into her shoulder.','ac1e536fdf826f387ac9aca5d75f5b56',0,'YA==','3hb2pl1o',1,0,'',0,0,0),(465929,32151,6,885,0,'207.119.187.47',1299814411,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Veritas Quietus (Non-Daria, DnD Setting)','[quote=&quot;untra&quot;:30je2tcr]Deity\'s that will actually interact with the players and tinker with the story does seem to have the potential to do something rather new.[/quote:30je2tcr]\nEven where they are not directly involved, I\'ve been setting it up so their presence is ultimately felt anyway through the actions of their widespread followers.

Even many modern religions have certain figures - not necessarily deities, but saints and the like - who are said to watch over certain people, things, places, and whatnot.  In virtually all of these cases, each patron is inevitably an idealized version of the stereotypical views of their particular class.\n\nAll D&amp;D and other fictional settings like it do is throw in the additional distinction of humans, elves, dwarves and other such related but separate sentient races/species for the deities to split up amongst themselves.','07579d15009b51d2d774979d2b9db7a5',0,'gA==','30je2tcr',1,0,'',0,0,0),(465930,31193,6,1125,0,'75.14.2.198',1299814583,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Iron Chef:  Lawndale State','[quote=&quot;thatLONERchick&quot;:2hv37yjh][quote=&quot;LadieT&quot;:2hv37yjh]&quot;I don\'t want a thing to do with the Gammas or anything else my grandmother was a part of,&quot; Daria growled.[/quote:2hv37yjh] \nOh, Daria.

Your character can not be changed once the story starts so choose carefully.\n2: You may select ANY character who has a name and some semblance of personality in show to work with.\n3: You can not choose a character who has been selected by someone else.\n4: If for any reason you can not participate after the story has started then please let me know so that I can find someone to replace you.\n5: Remember the set up and point of the story. Your chapter should help move the story along.\n6: You may nudge the story in a direction you want during your chapter, but make sure it makes sense.\n7: Your chapters should take place either directly follow the previous chapter or show another event from a different point of view. Try not to just skip a week for no reason other than getting away from the last chapters events.

She looked up at the flight\ninformation screen for the hundredth time.  Jane\'s flight was late.  It was \nsupposed to arrive at 7:30; that was an hour ago.  Fortunately, her flight was\nnow in the air and was due to arrive in another hour.\n\nAnd so she sat.  It was cold here.  She was glad that she was wearing her jeans \nand the parka she bought the week before at Macy\'s.  Clarissa had warned her \nthat it would soon be too cold for her to wear that skirt and green jacket.  \nThen, just as she predicted, a violent storm hit Boston a couple of days later, \nsending temperatures down to about twenty degrees Fahrenheit.  Sam and some of\nthe other local students called it a Nor\'Easter.  Even though it was bone-\nchillingly cold, it didn\'t snow; instead, rain and sleet came down hard.  At the\ntime, Daria complained that she would have preferred that it snowed.\n\nBecause of her slender, waif-like frame, Daria\'s body didn\'t retain heat very \nwell.  This was one of those times she envied her friend Patricia.  Because she \nhad a few extra pounds, Patricia could hold in her body heat and not be bothered \nby the cold.  Plus, she grew up in rural Maine, so she was used to it.  \n\nSo, during the storm, Daria wrapped herself in a couple of sweaters and her \njeans, and went with Clarissa on the subway to the Downtown Crossing shopping\ndistrict.  Picking out the right parka was hard, since Macy\'s didn\'t have \na big selection in extra-small.  Clarissa bailed on her after about fifteen\nminutes of picking and choosing between what seemed to be identical coats.  To\nDaria, one was not the same as the other: the linings had different textures\nand on some, the sleeves made an unpleasant noise when her arms rubbed against\nher body.  After about an hour of weighing the pluses and minuses of each parka,\nDaria settled on the one that least displeased her: its sky-blue color didn\'t\nlook right, but it fit her frame and was comfortable.\n\nShe saw a familiar figure coming towards her.  Sam was returning from a trip to\nthe washroom and was holding two Styrofoam cups of coffee.  He had his computer\nstrapped to his leg.  Daria felt a little uneasy about that, ever since one of\nhis classmates had gotten herself in trouble at the airport earlier in the \nsemester for wearing an \'art project\' made of flashing LEDs inside the terminal.\nThe airport police thought it was some sort of terrorist device and took her into\ncustody.  The thought of Sam getting into trouble with the law terrified her, but\nhe reassured her by showing her the PBA card his brother-in-law Tony gave him.\nIt was not exactly a \'get out of jail free\' card, Sam explained, but the police \nhere would know that he was the relative of a brother officer and would probably\ngo easy on him until Tony could come down and sort everything out.\n\nSam carefully lowered himself down onto the floor and sat next to Daria.  She took\na cup from him and wrapped her hands around it.  &quot;Thanks,&quot; she said gratefully.\nHe merely nodded, then pointed at the screen.  &quot;Yeah, it\'s gonna be another hour\nor so.  I\'m sorry I dragged you into this.&quot;\n\nHe shook his head, then leaned over towards her.  His hand delicately brushed her\nhair aside to expose her ear, and he whispered softly: &quot;It is not your fault,\nDeeDee.  But it gives me a chance to spend more time with you.&quot;\n\nIn spite her surroundings, that made her smile.  Her body was warmer now, thanks\nto the coffee.  &quot;I brought a book, but I\'m glad you came.&quot;  She opened her bag\nto show him her copy of C.S. Lewis\' [u:tbwx2ncm]The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe[/u:tbwx2ncm].  &quot;I\'ve\nbeen rereading it.  I first read it when I was ten and I saw the movie version a \ncouple of years ago.  I thought the movie was pretty faithful to the book.  Have\nyou read it?&quot;\n\nSam nodded.  This time, he typed out his answer: &quot;I believe I read it when I was \nabout the same age as you were.  It was one of the books we read in class when I \nwas in fourth grade.&quot;  He opened his own bag and took out a magazine; Daria saw\nthat it was [i:tbwx2ncm]Smithsonian[/i:tbwx2ncm].  \n\nThe hour passed by quickly.  When Daria looked up at the screen again, it showed\nthat Jane\'s flight had arrived.  She nudged Sam and pointed at the screen.  &quot;Jane\ndoesn\'t have a cell phone, but she told me that she only has a carry-on bag, so\nshe\'s coming out through this gate.  At least, I hope she knows where to go.&quot;\n\nThey took their time standing up and walking over to the security checkpoint.  \nIt would still be several minutes before Jane would be able to get off the plane.\nThe air was still cold, so Daria zipped up her parka.  People came out of the\nexit in small groups; most of the other passengers were downstairs in the baggage\nclaim getting their checked luggage.  It was hard for her to see if Jane was\ncoming, which was why she was glad that Sam was there.  Having a boyfriend who\nwas 6\'5&quot; definitely had its advantages.\n\nA few minutes later, Daria felt his hand touch the back of her head.  Her eyes\nfollowed where his other hand pointed.  &quot;Yeah, that\'s her,&quot; Daria said softly.\n&quot;I don\'t think she knew you were coming here with me.&quot;\n\nJane rushed forward to greet her friend. &quot;Hey Daria!&quot; she said as she wrapped her\narms around Daria\'s shoulders.  Then she looked up. &quot;Oh, hi Sam.&quot;  This was \ndelivered with less enthusiasm. She stepped back and slipped both straps of her\nbackpack onto her shoulders.\n\n&quot;Shall we go?&quot; Sam typed.  &quot;It is almost ten.&quot;  \n\nThe three of them headed out of the terminal.  &quot;How was your flight?&quot; Daria asked.\n\n&quot;It was all right.  The delay sucked, but at least I was in the terminal and not\ninside the plane.  So I was able to get some bad food before they finally boarded.\nAnd there weren\'t any screaming kids on the plane, so I\'m not too annoyed.&quot;\n\nOutside, they passed an MBTA ticket machine.  Daria pointed to it and asked, \n&quot;Jane, you still have that CharlieTicket with you?&quot;  \n\n&quot;No, I went ahead and got a CharlieCard over the Net.  I figured I\'m going to be\nusing it a lot, so I might as well have one now.&quot;  Jane shoved her fists into\nher pockets.  &quot;Cold here.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yes it is,&quot; Sam said through his computer.  &quot;We had a powerful nor\'easter here\nlast week, which prompted Daria to buy the anorak she is wearing right now.  \nBefore we left for the airport, I saw that the temperature was going to be below\nzero on the Celsius scale.  I see that you came prepared.&quot;\n\nJane stared back at him.  Daria recongized Jane\'s blue jacket from that field\ntrip that they took during their junior year at Lawndale; it was the only time\nshe\'d ever seen her wear it.  &quot;Yeah.  Yeah I did,&quot; she said.  &quot;I guess I\'m gonna\nhave to get used to this weather while I\'m going to school here.&quot;\n\nThe Silver Line bus arrived and they boarded.  They sat in the back, Sam and \nDaria on the rear bench and Jane on the seat in front of them.  It was warm \nenough inside the bus that Daria felt she could unzip her coat.  Jane seemed a \nlittle upset about something, but Daria couldn\'t quite put her finger on what it \nwas.  It would be better to broach that subject later, she thought.  \n\n&quot;You look really good, Daria,&quot; Jane said.  &quot;Are you wearing lipstick?&quot;\n\nDaria blushed.  &quot;Yes,&quot; she said in a low voice.  &quot;I\'m not being vain, I\'m just\nbeing practical.  It keeps my lips from getting chapped.&quot;\n\n&quot;Sure, sure.  That makes perfect sense.&quot;  \n\n&quot;I\'ve been wearing it since junior year, Jane.  You never noticed until now.&quot;\n\nJane shrugged.  &quot;I guess I wasn\'t paying attention.&quot;  She paused, then looked at\nSam briefly.  He had his arm over Daria\'s shoulders but was looking out the \nwindow.  &quot;Anyway, I thought that tomorrow we could go down to BFAC and check \nthings out.  They\'re gonna let me look around the dorm and stuff.&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m kind of curious,&quot; Daria said.  &quot;We could do that in the morning.&quot;\n\n&quot;Okay.  Now, what the hell\'s the deal about us going to a football game?  You\'re\nthe last person I know who\'d be interested in that.&quot;\n\nDaria and Sam exchanged a look.  Then she said in a mysterious tone, &quot;Don\'t worry\nabout it, Jane.  In the fullness of time, everything will be revealed.&quot;\n\n&quot;That\'s pretty damned cryptic, Daria.&quot;\n\nFinally, Sam spoke, or typed, up.  &quot;I am sure that Daria is eager to tell you\neverything, but she promised not to say a word to anyone, even her best friend.\nIt will all be over soon anyway.&quot;\n\nDaria noted Jane\'s look of annoyance.  Could it be that she is resentful that I\nbrought Sam along? she wondered.  The rest of the bus ride went quietly, with \nJane catching Daria up on the comings and goings of Lawndale.  The big deal was\nthat Mr. O\'Neill and Ms. Barch were engaged to be married, with the wedding \nplanned for April.\n\n&quot;Are you going?&quot; Daria asked.\n\n&quot;Only if you go.  I think it\'s going to happen over Easter Break.  I\'m not a big\none for weddings, though; I\'ve been to all of Wind\'s, and that\'s enough for me.\nBesides, I really don\'t wanna go back to Lawndale unless I have to.&quot;\n\nThe trio got out at South Station and transferred to the Red Line.  When the train\napproached at Kendall Square, Sam gave Daria a kiss on the top of her head and\ngot up.  &quot;This is where I get off,&quot; he typed.  &quot;I will see you tomorrow, Daria.&quot;\n\nShe smiled.  &quot;Okay, we\'ll be at the stadium by two, and I have the tickets and\neverything else.&quot;\n\n&quot;Very good.&quot;  The train stopped and the doors on the right side opened.  He waved\nhis hand slightly; Daria waved back and then he was off the train.\n\nThe doors closed and the train started moving again.  Jane let out a sigh.  &quot;What\'s\ngoing on with you?&quot; Daria demanded.  &quot;You were being totally rude to Sam, and \nfortunately, he\'s nice enough to not act offended.&quot;\n\n&quot;No, I wasn\'t.&quot;  Jane\'s shoulders then slumped.  &quot;Okay, yeah I was.  I wasn\'t\nexpecting him to be there at the airport, that\'s all.  I was hoping to spend my\ntime with you.&quot;\n\n&quot;You [i:tbwx2ncm]are[/i:tbwx2ncm] spending time with me, Jane.  We\'re sitting here on this subway car, \non the way to my campus and you\'ll be spending the night in my dorm room.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah, I know.  I\'m sorry about acting so pissy, Daria.  It\'s just, I was really\nlooking forward to coming up here, because I have nobody to talk to back home.\nThere\'s Trent, but he\'s not much for conversation, and he\'s been busy with work,\nso I never see him anyway.  All the people from high school that I thought were\ninteresting are gone now.  I\'d even hang out with Upchuck, if he were around, \nbut he\'s at Maryland now.&quot;\n\n&quot;There\'s always Kevin.  He\'s still at Lawndale, right?&quot;\n\nJane made a shiver.  &quot;He\'s getting his GED, and meanwhile he\'s working at a\ncarwash.  So, it\'s incredibly boring being stuck in Lawndale, while all of my\nfriends are in college.  I mean, you even have a boyfriend now.&quot;  She sighed\nagain.  &quot;It\'s okay if sisters bicker, right?&quot;\n\nDaria gave her a small smile.  &quot;Quinn and I go at it all the time, so don\'t \nworry about that.  It\'s only gonna be another month or so, and then you\'ll be \nhere.&quot;  Jane was over a head taller than Daria, so she had to crane her neck to\nbe able to see her blue eyes.  &quot;I asked Sam to come with me to the airport, \nbecause I didn\'t feel right about going there at this hour.  I\'m sure he didn\'t\nwant to go, but he did because he likes being with me and he worries about my \nsafety.&quot;\n\n&quot;Okay, okay,&quot; Jane said, throwing up her hands.  &quot;I still have your pendant, see?&quot;\nShe opened her coat and showed her friend the crystal hanging from a chain.  \n\n&quot;Cool.  I finished reading that book you gave me for my birthday.&quot;  The train \nslowed down and Daria saw that they were already at Davis station.  &quot;Come on,\nthis is our stop.&quot;\n\nWhen they made it to the street level, Jane checked the time on her cellphone.\n&quot;It\'s already 11.  Think we\'ll be able to get something to eat?&quot;  A pause.  &quot;Oh \nyeah, I finally broke down and got one of these.  I finally got tired of not\nhaving one, and I\'m making enough now to afford it.&quot;\n\n&quot;It\'s Friday night, so there\'s got to be plenty of places open.  You want pizza?&quot;\n\n\n(---)\n\n\nDaria and Jane stayed at BackRaft Pizza until they had to kick them out and \nclose the shop.  Both of the girls were extremely tired and ready to fall asleep\nby time they got to Daria\'s dorm. \n\nThe elevator was broken, so they started up the stairs.  Jane yawned.  &quot;Well, \nthis sucks.&quot;\n\n&quot;I live on the second floor, Jane.  It\'s not that far.&quot;\n\n&quot;Ok, fine then.  So where am I supposed to be sleeping anyway?&quot; \n\n&quot;I told you, I reserved a roll-away cot from the house manager.  My roommate \nstopped seeing that guy, so she\'s spending a lot more nights in our room.&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh, that\'s too bad.  She seemed really nice the last time I talked to her.  Her\nname\'s Clarice, right?&quot;\n\n&quot;Clarissa.  Her ex turned out to be kind of a wimp.  His parents disapproved of\nhim dating an African-American girl, and he didn\'t stand up for her.  Right now,\nI guess she\'s taking some time off from dating.  How about you?&quot;\n\n&quot;Wish I could say something exciting, but I\'m still having my dry spell.  So\'s\nTrent, by the way.  He dumped Monique for the 100th time two weeks ago, and I \nthink it\'s permanent this time.&quot;\n\nThey arrived at Daria\'s room.  &quot;Hm, they told me that they would be putting the\nbed outside my door.&quot;  She opened the door and turned on the lights.  &quot;Nope, no \nbed.&quot;\n\n&quot;Your roommate\'s not here either,&quot; Jane observed.\n\n&quot;Yeah, she told me that she was going to some shindig down in Boston tonight.&quot;\nShe looked around.  &quot;Well, this sucks.  Either they never delivered the cot, or\none or more of the young scholars in this dorm took it.&quot;\n\n&quot;Can\'t you call downstairs for a replacement?&quot;\n\n&quot;It\'s one in the morning.  It\'ll have to wait until tomorrow.  No, wait, it\'s \nalready tomorrow.&quot;  Daria sighed.  &quot;I\'m really beat.&quot;\n\n&quot;I don\'t wanna impose any more on your roommate, Daria.  I\'ll just go sleep in \nthe lounge down the hall.&quot;\n\n&quot;No, no, don\'t do that.&quot;  She eyed her bed.\n\n&quot;What\'re you thinking, Daria?&quot;  Jane also looked at the bed.  &quot;That\'s a twin-\nsize.&quot;\n\n&quot;Yeah, and I\'m not that big.&quot;  Daria took off her parka and hung it up in the \nwardrobe.  &quot;Look, I\'m really tired and so\'re you.  If I wanted to \'make a move\'\non you, don\'t you think I would\'ve tried it a long time ago?&quot;\n\nJane took off her own coat and dropped it on the floor, then opened her bag to\npull out a nightshirt.  &quot;It\'s cold in here.&quot;\n\n&quot;They have these old-style steam radiators here, and they\'re a bitch to work \nwith.  Don\'t worry, I have plenty of blankets.&quot;  Daria locked the door and took\noff her boots and jeans.\n\n&quot;Yeah, okay.  Do you remember the summer before last, when I went away to that \nart camp?&quot;  Jane had finished undressing and was now pulling on her nightshirt.  \n\nDaria sighed.  &quot;Yeah, I remember.  It was a miserable time for me.  We weren\'t\nspeaking and I was picking fights with Tom over stupid things.  Thank you for\nreminding me.&quot;\n\n&quot;It\'s what I\'m here for.  Anyway, I might have slightly mentioned it before, \nabout how some girl at that camp tried to get fresh with me.&quot;\n\nDaria had already changed into her t-shirt, shorts and white socks and was now\nshivering slightly.  &quot;I remember you alluding to that, right after you got back\nfrom the camp, and you were gonna tell me more, and then Tom showed up, and then\nyou took off.  I don\'t think you ever told me the details of that story.&quot;\n\n&quot;It was pretty weird.  Alison was another student at the camp, but she was \nalready out of college.  She tried to get me drunk and get me to spend the night\nin her cabin.  That\'s when she came onto me, and I got the hell out of there.\nThen later on, she was hanging out with one of the teachers there, a real hack\nthat I thought she hated, but Alison told me that she was doing it for her career.\nSo, I\'m not sure if she\'s a lesbian, bi, or just confused.&quot;\n\nDaria pulled the bed covers aside and got in.  &quot;Or maybe she\'s a sociopath who\ngets off on using people.  Even though she says she despises that teacher, she\'s\nwilling to sleep with him to use him to further her art career, and she wanted \nto use you because you were underage and it was a cheap thrill for her.&quot;\n\nJane got in next to her.  &quot;I wish back then that I could\'ve called you.&quot;\n\n&quot;Me too.&quot;  The overhead light was already off.  Daria reached up to set her \nglasses on her desk and turn off the lamp.  &quot;I hated not being able to talk to \nyou.  To tell you the truth, I can\'t wait for January either.  Then this Summer,\nwe can go get that apartment.&quot;\n\nJane did not respond.  Instead, Daria heard her softly inhale, then exhale.  A \nfew minutes later, Daria was asleep too, curled up next to her adopted sister.','ab9445176546156dddb318c66862b247',0,'ZQ==','tbwx2ncm',1,0,'',0,0,0),(465953,32159,6,1203,0,'168.103.73.53',1299820245,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Mikey\'s 12 POVs Challenge','Add me in.

This is actually the beginning of the nightmare scenario that the smart GOP types NEVER wanted to happen. \n\nAs I\'ve said before, the Tea Party (and the corporate interests behind them) are so drunk on power that they think that they can do whatever they want... but just as in 2008, when the average person said, \'HEY! This is hitting me where I live!\', what\'s happening now is going to cause a [b:168qlale]massive[/b:168qlale] backlash against the GOP come Election Day... and the Tea Party Movement might be a historical footnote by 2013, because whatever ones aren\'t sliced from office come the primaries, will get hideous backlash in the general elections. (They\'re going to have to answer to why they voted as they did, because their attitude and votes can\'t be proven as geing \'we\'re doing this for you guys!&quot;\n\nAs for Wisconsin and Walker... his surviving the summer, let alone the year, without being removed in a recall election would surprise me. He certainly won\'t be getting re-elected, and he\'ll never get another high office in that state.[/quote:168qlale]\n\nDon\'t forget, backlash and anger against what was happening 2008-2010 was what created the successes of the Tea Party. Staying power for such entities short because it is based on anger, but it won\'t necessarily engender love to the opposition, be it mainstream GOP or Democrat.[/quote:168qlale]\n\nYou miss the point,\n\nI was just having this discussion with a GOP friend. I pointed out that the Democrats have a history of shooting themselves in the foot while the GOP has a history of winning battles but losing wars.\n\nHow this analogy goes: When Democrats win, they invariably do two things: they start to focus on the issues their base loves - but that the rest of the electorate goes \'why are you focusing on THAT?\', and when the Dems in power aren\'t moving as fast to do everything their base wants, the base ALWAYS either decides to stay at home or go to the other side - either way, providing the opposition enough votes to win.\n\nWhen Republicans win, they do it by \'bait-and switch\': they play to the base AND the independents by playing on core family values... but after they get in, they unveil their [b:168qlale]true[/b:168qlale] agenda, and after they start enacting it, the independents go \'You\'re gonna do WHAT-?!\' while the moderate Repubs either say \'Uh... this isn\'t what we signed on for,\' or \'you guys seem to forget that MY family is part of \'those people\' that you\'re trying to hurt!\'\n\nModeration and the center. The Left doesn\'t think about it, and the Right feels that once it gets into power, it\'s no longer necessary. \n\nAs for your comment - uh, uh. Anger and pain brought to the doorstep of the average American citizen because of the economic crash of 2008 (and a great deal of fear and latent racism brought about as a natural backlash by many Americans towards what they saw as a loss of position and stature because of the success of an African-American in a previously unachievable position for anyone not White and wealthy) was what created the Tea Party movement. \n\nWhen you consider the predictably inevitable overreach of power that the GOP is famed for when they feel that they are in an ascendant position, coupled with the fact that the fear-mongering that helps keep people like that in power cannot sustain itself in the long term (due to the fact that such activity requires constant targets to feed its hatred and fear, thus providing reason for them to remain in power, and even - [i:168qlale]especially[/i:168qlale]- when they are wildly successful, those targets become in short supply... and eventually they feed either on one another or on the general populace, causing a backlash)... the Tea Party movement is not long for this world. \n\nOne more thing - that movement is closely associated with the \'Birther\' movement. Rather than touch upon the absolute hideous racial undertones of exactly why the birthers want to believe that the President couldn\'t have been born here in the United States, I\'ll just point out two things that should shut them up for all time:\n\n1.) Hawaii was United States territory for a good sixty-plus years BEFORE it became a state - that occurring just shy of two years before President Obama\'s birth, BTW - after we overthrew the rightful government and took over in 1893.\n\nbut even more importantly\n\n2.) [i:168qlale]Ann Dunham was an American citizen[/i:168qlale]. Her child could have been born in flight, on Olympus Mons or in Red Square - [i:168qlale]but he would still be an American citizen, because his mother possesses American citizenship, and it has always followed that any child, regardless of location, is considered to have U.S. citizenship if one of his parents also possesses U.S. citizenship.[/i:168qlale]','b7993e0de79eec26caa630cb6b935cae',0,'8AQ=','168qlale',1,0,'',0,0,0),(465961,32153,4,114,0,'61.69.3.130',1299822385,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Nebraska\'s anti-abortion law: legalized torture','Stories like this make me reconsider my position on the death penalty.','42c2a5cc5b39707da6e761e1720b77a6',0,'','1u1dg2ha',1,0,'',0,0,0),(465962,32146,5,59,0,'98.214.72.176',1299822682,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: NCIS','[quote=&quot;-sam&quot;:1j3qyh3s]You\'re missing out, John Noble is the best thing on television today.[/quote:1j3qyh3s]\n\nYeah - and three weeks after I start watching, they\'ll kill it. \n\n\nI still remember [i:1j3qyh3s]Drive, Profit[/i:1j3qyh3s] and [i:1j3qyh3s]Space:Above and Beyond [/i:1j3qyh3s](and there was no way in hell [i:1j3qyh3s]S:AaB[/i:1j3qyh3s] should have been canceled.

This is actually the beginning of the nightmare scenario that the smart GOP types NEVER wanted to happen. \n\nAs I\'ve said before, the Tea Party (and the corporate interests behind them) are so drunk on power that they think that they can do whatever they want... but just as in 2008, when the average person said, \'HEY! This is hitting me where I live!\', what\'s happening now is going to cause a [b:2y5f3wyy]massive[/b:2y5f3wyy] backlash against the GOP come Election Day... and the Tea Party Movement might be a historical footnote by 2013, because whatever ones aren\'t sliced from office come the primaries, will get hideous backlash in the general elections. (They\'re going to have to answer to why they voted as they did, because their attitude and votes can\'t be proven as geing \'we\'re doing this for you guys!&quot;\n\nAs for Wisconsin and Walker... his surviving the summer, let alone the year, without being removed in a recall election would surprise me. He certainly won\'t be getting re-elected, and he\'ll never get another high office in that state.[/quote:2y5f3wyy]\n\nDon\'t forget, backlash and anger against what was happening 2008-2010 was what created the successes of the Tea Party. Staying power for such entities short because it is based on anger, but it won\'t necessarily engender love to the opposition, be it mainstream GOP or Democrat.[/quote:2y5f3wyy]\n\nYou miss the point,\n\nI was just having this discussion with a GOP friend. I pointed out that the Democrats have a history of shooting themselves in the foot while the GOP has a history of winning battles but losing wars.\n\nHow this analogy goes: When Democrats win, they invariably do two things: they start to focus on the issues their base loves - but that the rest of the electorate goes \'why are you focusing on THAT?\', and when the Dems in power aren\'t moving as fast to do everything their base wants, the base ALWAYS either decides to stay at home or go to the other side - either way, providing the opposition enough votes to win.\n\nWhen Republicans win, they do it by \'bait-and switch\': they play to the base AND the independents by playing on core family values... but after they get in, they unveil their [b:2y5f3wyy]true[/b:2y5f3wyy] agenda, and after they start enacting it, the independents go \'You\'re gonna do WHAT-?!\' while the moderate Repubs either say \'Uh... this isn\'t what we signed on for,\' or \'you guys seem to forget that MY family is part of \'those people\' that you\'re trying to hurt!\'\n\nModeration and the center. The Left doesn\'t think about it, and the Right feels that once it gets into power, it\'s no longer necessary. \n\nAs for your comment - uh, uh. Anger and pain brought to the doorstep of the average American citizen because of the economic crash of 2008 (and a great deal of fear and latent racism brought about as a natural backlash by many Americans towards what they saw as a loss of position and stature because of the success of an African-American in a previously unachievable position for anyone not White and wealthy) was what created the Tea Party movement. \n\nWhen you consider the predictably inevitable overreach of power that the GOP is famed for when they feel that they are in an ascendant position, coupled with the fact that the fear-mongering that helps keep people like that in power cannot sustain itself in the long term (due to the fact that such activity requires constant targets to feed its hatred and fear, thus providing reason for them to remain in power, and even - [i:2y5f3wyy]especially[/i:2y5f3wyy]- when they are wildly successful, those targets become in short supply... and eventually they feed either on one another or on the general populace, causing a backlash)... the Tea Party movement is not long for this world. \n\nOne more thing - that movement is closely associated with the \'Birther\' movement. Rather than touch upon the absolute hideous racial undertones of exactly why the birthers want to believe that the President couldn\'t have been born here in the United States, I\'ll just point out two things that should shut them up for all time:\n\n1.) Hawaii was United States territory for a good sixty-plus years BEFORE it became a state - that occurring just shy of two years before President Obama\'s birth, BTW - after we overthrew the rightful government and took over in 1893.\n\nbut even more importantly\n\n2.) [i:2y5f3wyy]Ann Dunham was an American citizen[/i:2y5f3wyy]. Her child could have been born in flight, on Olympus Mons or in Red Square - [i:2y5f3wyy]but he would still be an American citizen, because his mother possesses American citizenship, and it has always followed that any child, regardless of location, is considered to have U.S. citizenship if one of his parents also possesses U.S. citizenship.[/i:2y5f3wyy][/quote:2y5f3wyy]\n\nI\'m just fine with your opinion on what people do when they are in power: It\'s not even an American thing, it\'s what people do when they are in power no matter where they are. But I\'d have to, strongly, disagree with your idea of the Tea Party being founded on latent racism. People don\'t hate Obama because he is racist, otherwise the Tea Party would have formed long before now. It formed because of what they saw as unfair taxation, a ridiculous amount of government spending (on something that didn\'t even work), and of course, the health care law.','520a945f08b9982412d913c4fea4df18',0,'8AQ=','2y5f3wyy',1,0,'',0,0,0),(466022,32158,3,215,0,'204.65.81.208',1299853387,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: I know there\'s such a thing as a laptop skin. . .','Try these folks...\n\n<!-- m --><a class=\"postlink\" href=\"http://www.skinit.com\">http://www.skinit.com</a><!-- m -->\n\nI\'ve used them for a cell phone and their reproduction was really good.\n\nIf you\'re looking for something local, try a graphics shop.\n\nMike N.','57d5d499ae479e63166299fa64a5e9c4',0,'','3b6igkig',1,0,'',0,0,0),(466023,32080,3,215,0,'204.65.81.208',1299853986,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Weight loss update: 155 POUNDS!','That\'s tremendous!

Staying power for such entities short because it is based on anger, but it won\'t necessarily engender love to the opposition, be it mainstream GOP or Democrat.[/quote:9k9nx68w]\n\nYou miss the point,\n\nI was just having this discussion with a GOP friend. I pointed out that the Democrats have a history of shooting themselves in the foot while the GOP has a history of winning battles but losing wars.\n\nHow this analogy goes: When Democrats win, they invariably do two things: they start to focus on the issues their base loves - but that the rest of the electorate goes \'why are you focusing on THAT?\', and when the Dems in power aren\'t moving as fast to do everything their base wants, the base ALWAYS either decides to stay at home or go to the other side - either way, providing the opposition enough votes to win.\n\nWhen Republicans win, they do it by \'bait-and switch\': they play to the base AND the independents by playing on core family values... but after they get in, they unveil their [b:9k9nx68w]true[/b:9k9nx68w] agenda, and after they start enacting it, the independents go \'You\'re gonna do WHAT-?!\' while the moderate Repubs either say \'Uh... this isn\'t what we signed on for,\' or \'you guys seem to forget that MY family is part of \'those people\' that you\'re trying to hurt!\'\n\nModeration and the center. The Left doesn\'t think about it, and the Right feels that once it gets into power, it\'s no longer necessary. \n\nAs for your comment - uh, uh. Anger and pain brought to the doorstep of the average American citizen because of the economic crash of 2008 (and a great deal of fear and latent racism brought about as a natural backlash by many Americans towards what they saw as a loss of position and stature because of the success of an African-American in a previously unachievable position for anyone not White and wealthy) was what created the Tea Party movement. \n\nWhen you consider the predictably inevitable overreach of power that the GOP is famed for when they feel that they are in an ascendant position, coupled with the fact that the fear-mongering that helps keep people like that in power cannot sustain itself in the long term (due to the fact that such activity requires constant targets to feed its hatred and fear, thus providing reason for them to remain in power, and even - [i:9k9nx68w]especially[/i:9k9nx68w]- when they are wildly successful, those targets become in short supply... and eventually they feed either on one another or on the general populace, causing a backlash)... the Tea Party movement is not long for this world. \n\nOne more thing - that movement is closely associated with the \'Birther\' movement. Rather than touch upon the absolute hideous racial undertones of exactly why the birthers want to believe that the President couldn\'t have been born here in the United States, I\'ll just point out two things that should shut them up for all time:\n\n1.) Hawaii was United States territory for a good sixty-plus years BEFORE it became a state - that occurring just shy of two years before President Obama\'s birth, BTW - after we overthrew the rightful government and took over in 1893.\n\nbut even more importantly\n\n2.) [i:9k9nx68w]Ann Dunham was an American citizen[/i:9k9nx68w]. Her child could have been born in flight, on Olympus Mons or in Red Square - [i:9k9nx68w]but he would still be an American citizen, because his mother possesses American citizenship, and it has always followed that any child, regardless of location, is considered to have U.S. citizenship if one of his parents also possesses U.S. citizenship.[/i:9k9nx68w][/quote:9k9nx68w]\n\nI\'m just fine with your opinion on what people do when they are in power: It\'s not even an American thing, it\'s what people do when they are in power no matter where they are. But I\'d have to, strongly, disagree with your idea of the Tea Party being founded on latent racism. [b:9k9nx68w]People don\'t hate Obama because he is racist, otherwise the Tea Party would have formed long before now.[/b:9k9nx68w] [b:9k9nx68w]It formed because of what they saw as unfair taxation, a ridiculous amount of government spending (on something that didn\'t even work), and of course, the health care law.[/b:9k9nx68w][/quote:9k9nx68w]\n\n\n\nIncorrect - but I will say that I should have (in deference to what I jumped on J-D about recently) been more specific in how I phrased what I said.  \n\nWhile the original movement [b:9k9nx68w]was[/b:9k9nx68w] founded on those principles (and was a small movement at best), the Tea Party Movement didn\'t get REALLY rolling or become a huge juggernaut until the anti-Obama element (wholeheartedly supported by FOX News) jumped on the bandwagon. \n\nAs for the health care law (and perhaps someone would kindly post a link to Deref\'s thread about this subject from a year or so back - I think the title had something to do with turkeys voting \'yes\' for Thanksgiving dinner), isn\'t it sad that (a.) the basic problem with EVERYTHING about the health care law (yes, including the often-derided \'individual mandate\') were all ideas that were trumpeted and roared for by the GOP stalwarts... until President Obama decided he liked those ideas (Do we even have to mention former Governor Romney here?), and (b.) the all-out fight against that law is the paramount example of the unilateral efforts of the GOP\'s policy of \'\'scorched earth\' in standing against this President, the well-being of the nation and the security of the world be damned if it means giving him any visible victories?\n\nYou tell me - what aside from the absolute myopia caused by racism (and the absolute fear of the power of the Tea Party movement - the pure, undiluted bile brought forth that used to be confined to the fringes of the political spectrum, now mainstreamed and unleashed) causes the GOP to stand as a unbroken collective on every single issue that the man brings forth, despite the fact that they themselves have spoken the same ideas beforehand or even been the ones to first bring them forth? (You forget that we have these things called [b:9k9nx68w]video archives[/b:9k9nx68w], where we take the comments and speeches, etc. of our political leaders and actually keep them for future reference.) You also fail to take stock in the way that the GOP members will gleefully shatter even their own long-standing traditions or even personal preferences and beliefs, if it denies the President a victory? Do I even need to mention how the wonderful posters at Tea Party protests apply (remember the \'Obamacare witch doctor\' posters from those rallies?), the non-stop, 24/7/365 assault on everything that the man does - and I mean everything - or the absolute bitterness and disregard for even a lifelong career\'s beliefs, if it means going against Obama and denying him success on even the smallest measure or trumpeting the ones he gets as \'another step closer to the grave for the nation\', as people like Senator McCain have done? \n\nNot even the cause of political necessity is so virulent, so all-inclusive or so blinded to even its own long-term (or even immediate) interests or needs can or would cause the attitudes we\'ve seen in the GOP - or the average person, as shown by FOX News itself as indicative of the movement - since it became clear that Senator Obama would be the Democratic nominee... or after he was sworn in. Only the politics of race and exclusion can do that.\n\nI still remember that woman who screamed \'I want my country back!\' - right. \n\n[url=http&#58;//attackerman&#46;firedoglake&#46;com/2010/06/05/no-i-want-my-country-back-asholes/:9k9nx68w]You mean, [i:9k9nx68w]\'I want my country back the way it was...[/i:9k9nx68w][/url:9k9nx68w] [i:9k9nx68w][u:9k9nx68w][b:9k9nx68w]before[/b:9k9nx68w][/u:9k9nx68w] the day when ANY American child, on any race, or either gender, could dream of a day when he or she could be President of the United States and actually know that it could happen.

Blasted into a fine mist in Afghanistan.”\n\n“So we eliminate her?” asked Jane.\n\n“No, we focus on her, the others have ‘Status: Active’ on their brief summaries, that would make it difficult to manage terrorists and mercenaries,” said Daria.\n\nJane saluted saying “Morning General, oh hang on a minute.” She then put the thumb of her saluting hand near her ear and the pinkie finger near her mouth saying “Harm, this is not a good time, you’re just going to have to kill US soldiers without me for now. Okay?”\n\n“I suppose if we call NCIS for assistance with this, they’ll tell us where to stick it,” said Daria.\n\n“I’ll see if they got internet access to any records relating to Kerry and anyone she worked with,” said Jodie, “we think she sexually assaulted some of the people she killed. Speaking of, we should get back to that police station see if CODIS turned up anything.”\n\n“How long has that been going on?” asked Daria.\n\n“ ... ... ... Oh crap. Okay, I’ll hack CODIS.”\n\nHalf a minute later Jodie said “They never ran it.”\n\n“You can bet the CIA did,” said Jane.\n\n“Okay, hang on,” said Jodie.\n\nHalf a minute later she said “CIA use of CODIS doesn’t relate to anyone resembling Kerry.”\n\n“Maybe they ran it from a police station somewhere else.”\n\n“Even I can’t go through that many samples,” said Jodie. “If the CIA wanted to avoid me, they’d simply go to the places where the DNA data is being stored and work offline.”\n\n“Are the CIA actually good for anything besides helping terrorists evade capture?” asked Jane.\n\n“We should stick with Kerry for now, she actually makes the most sense, and the style of the hand to hand combat that left the bruises on the bodies at that cartel’s base strongly resembled individuals schooled in Semper Fu,” said Daria, “she’d have to know the military internally to be as effective as she has been, Jodie, see what AA and personal reports you can hack, maybe we can corroborate a sexually abusive precog.”\n\n]:::[\n\n“Again?” moaned Val.\n\n“Yes, again,” said their boss, “we’ll find a city, just switch to Alcova, Wyoming.”\n\n“Alcova? Boss, I’ve been through there, there’s not that many people, aside from not making much of an impact, we’ll stand out.”\n\n“You’ve standing out anyway, besides, you’re not nuking the town, there’s this big flat slope with a road on top and a lake behind it.”\n\nVal grinned maniacally.\n\n“You’ll need to put it in a drum full of concrete, but the yield should be sufficient to make that dam go away. Because it’s a gravity dam, it’s not considered a terrorist target because the amount of conventional explosives required would preclude most terrorists from being able to attack it, so provided you don’t do something to draw too much attention to yourselves, you should be able to deliver the nuke and escape unremembered and unnoticed. Now wipe that maniacal grin off your face and get on with it.”\n\n“Right boss,” said Val as she hung up. “Guess what we’re doing?”\n\n]:::[\n\n“Jodie, I’m starting to see a pattern here. Every couple of weeks someone at least a couple of pay grades below Kerry suddenly get poor performance reviews, about a third of them get killed by walking in front of a tank, or walking into an aircraft’s propellers, or something,” said Daria.\n\n“Seeing the same thing with the reports I’m seeing. Not much to go on with who she targets, I mean, she goes for marines and navy, all faiths, some happy and bubbly, some moody, some strong, some weak, some have parents in the military, some are first generation in the military, black, white, Asian,” said Jodie.\n\n“Means she has limited opportunity within the military, and has to take any snatch she can get away with assaulting,” said Daria. “we might have better luck if we can figure out who she’s been assaulting since she faked her death.”\n\n“Garden City might give us a better picture,” said Jodie.\n\n“Okay,” said Daria, “we still need to keep up the pressure on Harman and the mercenaries, glad as I am to be out of there,  the precog probably predicted the break in your search efforts and took this opportunity to get Harman and company somewhere the hell else.”\n\n“We expanded our search radius across an entire state before we came after you,” said Jodie.\n\n“Assume they’ve built the nukes, where do they stick them?” asked Daria.\n\n“Middle of the population centre,” said Jodie, “they don’t want to be seen doing it, and they don’t want it to be removed intentionally or accidentally, so no dumpsters, sewers might get inspected, any construction work that was recently carried out might have a nuke buried in any concrete slabs that were left to cure overnight, bearing in mind there are two diclonii working with them, they could put the nukes in a lot of places, they don’t want a Geiger counter detecting it, and they don’t want our neutrino detectors, so they’re using radiation shields, those need power. Could be buried in someone’s back yard.”\n\n“Burial leaves disturbances that radar and infra-red can pick up,” said Daria.\n\n“I’ll rig a program to compare visual imagery to radar imagery, that way we can exclude buildings,” said Jodie.\n\n“What about cemeteries?” asked Daria.\n\n“We can get the age of a burial, if they pick a plot that’s been undisturbed for long enough, that’ll give us their nuke,” said Jodie.\n\n“What if they use a rocket?” asked Jane.\n\n“How would they guide it?” asked Mack.\n\n“Wouldn’t need to,” said Daria and Jodie simultaneously.\n\n“Same engineers they had design the nuke, they’d also be able to project a rocket’s trajectory if given the overall mass and the propellant’s specific impulse, it would also require some fluid dynamics expertise to work out how tight to construct the exhaust, but given all that, they’d have the means to put the nuke where they need  it to be for maximum effect,” said Jodie, “that would probably be a massive ground disturbance though, you’d bury it in a pipe at the launch angle, have some explosive device remove the soil prior to launch.”\n\n]:::[\n\nWanda looked over to Tiffany again and eventually asked “You’re dourer than usual.” Tiffany had been scowling at the back of the seat right in front of her the whole flight.\n\n“I’m glad we couldn’t get her a visa,” said Tiffany, “I know I shouldn’t say stuff like this, but that’s the one woman on this planet I know of that I feel had it coming.”\n\n“Yeah, I’m sure you’ve never broken the rules of war,” said Wanda.\n\n“Not indiscriminately,” said Tiffany, “it’s not like I come away with a guilty conscience, but I also don’t get off on other people suffering, and I have at least enough self control to ensure that the people I go after are actually involved in enemy activity, the crap she pulled in Chechnya, made me want to kill her.”\n\n“As a cop, I find myself wanting to kill a lot of the suspects I end interviewing,” said Wanda, “welcome to my world.”\n\n“You don’t choose the future you want, you don’t get the future you want,” said Tiffany.\n\n“Legion motto. Sorry you left?” asked Wanda.\n\n“I was expelled,” said Tiffany.\n\n“You were only there when you absolutely had to be,” said Wanda “Might as well have left.”\n\n“I know. ... This is just one of those times when I think back to Bakerson’s attempt to recruit the Legion. I wasn’t that much into deep philosophy or anything, the difference between heroes and soldiers just went completely over my head, but this is why they maintained their independence. DOJ gives them so much more independence of action, but me going off around the world saving lives would need orders to do so, or I get all kinds of done for insubordination or whatever else.”\n\n“There’s that. Maybe administrative separation would be an improvement,” said Wanda.\n\n“Food for thought,” said Tiffany.\n\n]:::[\n\n“Okay, we’re approaching Garden City,” said Jodie.\n\n“Okay, if Julia and myself work Garden City, you and everyone else try to find the nuclear weapons, sound like a plan?” asked Daria.\n\n“Yeah, Brittany?” asked Jodie.\n\n“Umm, make it so?” responded Brittany.\n\n]:::[\n\nThey landed at the airport, having let Julia and Daria off over the city.\n\nBrittany and Jodie emerged from the aircraft and headed for the manager’s office. “Maybe they’ll understand once we explain to them that we’re not the terrorists,” said Brittany.\n\n“I doubt it, ” said Jodie, “I’ll hold their attention, there’s something I need you to do.”\n\nJodie started her explanation.\n\n]:::[\n\n“Okay, what do we want to do?” asked the inspector, now they had assembled the entire shift into the briefing room.\n\n“We’re looking for anyone who had any contact with this individual, real name’s Kerry Thompson, thought to have been killed in action two years ago, we now believe she faked her death to become a mercenary,” said Daria.\n\n“We’re now hoping to chase her down, but we need information on her personal habits in order to do so,” said Julia. “We think Kerry is a rapist, she assaulted someone she then killed at a house in Rochelle before she killed her, and we think she was raping women in her unit prior to her desertion, now, because she deserted at a time of war, the witnesses you uncover won’t have to appear in court for us to put her away, but we do need to find her, and that means figuring out her personal tastes, the people she targeted while in the Marine Corps would have been skewed by what was available to her and what she thought she could get away with.”\n\n“We’re going to need you to go door to door, ask if anyone has seen her, they’ll probably know her as her alias Miss Teak Meg,” said Daria.\n\n“Keep in mind that anyone who was raped by her would probably not be forthcoming about it, but seeing her face might prompt a reaction, recoil in terror, that kind of thing, if we get a list of names off of you, we can follow up with further interviews,” said Julia.\n\n]:::[\n\n“But we’re telling the truth, and how many cock-ups have been directly caused by ‘only following orders’?” said Jodie.\n\n“Well, I’m sorry, but Homeland Security scare the crap out of me,” said the manager.\n\nBrittany entered and asked “Any luck?”\n\n“No,” said Jodie.\n\n“Well, we’ll just have to make do with what we got then,” said Brittany.\n\n“I suppose,” said Jodie.\n\nThey then left.\n\nAs soon as they were out the office, Brittany and Jodie broke into a run.\n\nThe airport manager couldn’t help but think something was wrong, like he had been tricked somehow.\n\nAs soon as the Gridrunner was starting to take off, one of the fuel crew entered carrying a suitcase with a note taped to it.\n\n“Boss, apparently the Legion paid for their fuel in cash, what’s with that?”\n\nThe manager turned ashen. “Oh, nothing, just the CIA said not to sell them fuel, and they went and took it anyway, and left the money so they wouldn’t be stealing.”\n\n]:::[\n\nJodie’s phone rang. Jodie answered it saying “Jodie here.”\n\n“Phil Lien here, I got a call from a diclonius in Casper, Wyoming, they think they sensed your terrorists heading south west, probably on route 220.”\n\n“Have that, thanks.”\n\n“I’ll call back with more information as I get it,” said Phil. He then hung up.\n\nJodie changed course and hit the burners.\n\n]:::[\n\n\nOne of the soldiers hooked a speaker up to his Ipod and asked “Time on target?”\n\n“Five minutes, why?” asked Sal.\n\n“Let me know when we’re at three and a half minutes.”\n\nSal shrugged and said “Okay.”\n\nEventually they came off the 220 and Sal said “time on target three mike thirty.”\n\nThe soldier hit play.\n\nThe Dambusters theme started to play through the speaker.\n\nThis got a laugh out of everyone.\n\nThey eventually caught sight of the step-up transformers, and the powerplant at the base of the dam. The dam itself appeared seconds later.\n\n“Right, get the nuke into position,” said Sal.\n\nTwo more soldiers did that and Sal grabbed the door handle with one of her vectors, and the arming wire with one hand.\n\nThe arming wire was poking out a plastic sleeve that led to the time delay fuse in the nuke buried in the concrete. This was the only thing stopping the nuclear weapon’s fuse from counting down the 10 minutes it would take to detonate. 10 minutes. They would want to be above the current water level of the Alcova reservoir before that runs out.\n\nThey ascended the road towards the top of the dam and Sal said “Stand by ... Standby ... ” She then flung the door open and pulled the arming wire, saying “Go.”\n\nThe two soldiers shoved the barrel out the van and it rolled down the slope into the lake.\n\nSal then closed the door.\n\n“Bombs away.”\n\n]:::[','8959669a756190900272c13ec9a6b09c',0,'','3hr2h7wa',1,0,'',0,0,0),(466056,30321,6,1218,0,'166.113.0.50',1299879009,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Raft College: The First Year, Part 43 (11 Mar 2011)','That was one of my disappointments of IIFY- how Jane never did get to tell Daria the full story regarding Alison.

Sure, the Tea Party was against Obama, I\'ll never deny that, but you\'re forgetting one thing: The man was in power, and that\'s who you go after. If it had been &quot;Hillarycare&quot; instead, do you honestly think the Tea Party would not have formed? You don\'t think anti-Hilary rallies would have been around with different sorts of tasteless insults? He was the target because he had the power, just as George W.

Sure, the Tea Party was against Obama, I\'ll never deny that, but you\'re forgetting one thing: The man was in power, and that\'s who you go after. If it had been &quot;Hillarycare&quot; instead, do you honestly think the Tea Party would not have formed? You don\'t think anti-Hilary rallies would have been around with different sorts of tasteless insults? He was the target because he had the power, just as George W. Bush was the target, just as Clinton was the target, and so on and so forth.

[/quote:1hmxnq6s]\n\nNo. The Tea Party movement was already formed - but it would have NEVER grown to what it is today had Hillary Clinton become President. Of course there would have been anti-Hillary rallies, but they would have focused upon her as a person and upon her policies (they got a lot of mileage back in the early 1990\'s when she made the \'stand by your man\' comment, and there\'s other things they would have gone on about - for example of health care, it would have been \'She wanted to control your lives once - and now, she\'s back to finish the job!\'\n\nWe would have not seen blatant fear-mongering related to race and religion - and yes, while they made gleeful fun of Hilary\'s maiden name (watch [i:1hmxnq6s]Hot Shots! Part Deux[/i:1hmxnq6s] for a spectacular - and funny! - run of \'Rodham\' jokes), the fact of the matter was that they were going after Hilary because she was a [b:1hmxnq6s]strong[/b:1hmxnq6s] woman - and never because she was simply [b:1hmxnq6s]a[/b:1hmxnq6s] woman. With Barack Obama, the fear-mongering comes specifically because he is Black, because he has a middle name that is currently [i:1hmxnq6s]non grata[/i:1hmxnq6s] because of the prevailing political situation in the country. Another good example of this is found in the film [i:1hmxnq6s]The Right Stuff[/i:1hmxnq6s], when \'Gus\' Grissom talks with the editors of [i:1hmxnq6s]Life [/i:1hmxnq6s]magazine:\n\n\n\n[quote:1hmxnq6s]\n\nEditor: I want the to meet my people who\'ll write their true stories.

It\'s a meaningless game of outrage[/quote:1hmxnq6s]\n\n\nYou do love your false equivalencies, don\'t you? Not going to throw Shirley Sherrod in there, eh? \n\nOne thing I\'ve noticed of people of this ilk: they love to take what are either individuals who are either undoubtedly in the fringes OR who are by no means radicalized, but are speaking from their hearts on something and (in a total breach of political survival) speaking an unspoken truth, and use it to justify [i:1hmxnq6s]their own long-term or even institutionalized wrong-doing in the exact same manner.[/i:1hmxnq6s] As another poster frequently reminds us, trying to justify your wrongdoing by pointing out the wrongdoing of others leaves you on pretty shaky moral grounds. \n\nAs far as \'they promised to get rid of it, and the people supported them\' - of course \'the people\' supported them - that\'s the desired results of almost two years of [i:1hmxnq6s]The Big Lie[/i:1hmxnq6s] run 24/7. When you constantly tell people without rest that someone is bad and anything that they do is bad, even things specifically designed to help them will be rejected! (That\'s how the victory is denied; when you turn people against things that can help them, they don\'t receive that selfsame help, they don\'t have to remember the persons who provided them that help, and the people who got them that help can\'t use that as part of their campaigns... while the ones who demonized that help [b:1hmxnq6s]can[/b:1hmxnq6s] use their opposition to that in their campaigns.)\n\nOf course - as Gov. Walker is demonstrating in Wisconsin - we once again see the GOP (and let\'s be honest, the Tea Party movement has metastasized into the \'direct-action\' branch of the Republican Party) demonstrating their time-honored tradition: [i:1hmxnq6s]demonize the opposition at every turn without fail or pause while promoting \'common sense solutions\' and \'family values\'... and as soon as they feel secure in office, reveal their true agenda and begin acting to destroy the means for anyone to stand against them... even those who are in the moderate portions of their own coalition.

The only thing that made it different was its placement, near to Moscow. Jakov Morgendorkov drove his brand new Volga, and tenements passed in the background. It was a pretty warm day, and Jakov smiled to his daughters.\n\n&quot;My dear daughters. It is important for you to know your mother and I realize it\'s not easy moving to a whole new town. Especially for you, Darya,” said Jakov.\n\n&quot;Way to go, comrade Stalin,” Darya said gravely from the back seat.\n\n&quot;Don\'t mess with history, joke or not. Life is hard, and you don\'t make friends easily.&quot;\n\n“You make one and I’ll throw you a coin.&quot;\n\n&quot;Very funny. I just want you both to have only the best. So don\'t be upset if it takes the other kids a little while to warm up to you, Darya,“ said Jakov, parking the car in front of the school. His younger daughter Ksenya exited the car.\n\n&quot;Come on dad. This is Soviet Russia. You don\'t know who\'s a friend and who\'s a foe. And besides, looks like someone is already getting into trouble,&quot; noted Darya. \n\nThe other students were astonished by Ksenya\'s denim jeans and Converse All-Star sneakers. During the Jakov\'s stammering Darya exited the car. She, herself, was pretty much the opposite of her sister when it came to wardrobe. She wore a cream-colored knitwear jacket, a loose orange-colored T-shirt under it, and a brown plain skirt.\n\nThe school building was an old, three-storey made from red brick. To Darya it looked like a prison, just like her old school way back behind the Ural Mountains. She stomped towards the front door. Gravel gritted under her worn combat boots, which were a little too large for her feet. At 8 o\'clock the other students went to their classes. Darya and Ksenya were supposed to meet their principal, Jinghua Li. Like Darya expected, the principal waited for new students in the school lobby. There were already a few students waiting, and when Darya and Ksenya arrived they started the trip. Darya and Ksenya followed the middle-aged Chinese principal as she gave their group a tour of the school.\n\n&quot;...As you can see, Gazondolvsk Middle School take great pride in our Motherland. We don\'t want to disappoint our leaders, who proudly lead us towards the world wide proletarian paradise, step by step. That\'s the reason why every one of you will be watched for some time, so we can spot that rotting little capit... those little differences which makes life a little harder,“ said the woman. Her voice held a faint mysterious quality.\n\n&quot;What? We are under monitoring? Nobody told me anything about that,“ said Ksenya, shocked.\n\n[i:1c5qzvo7]Ahh, one rotten capitalistic little prick. Don\'t worry, you\'ll be brainwashed as strongly as possible, so you won\'t dishonor Marxism-Leninism anymore[/i:1c5qzvo7], Li thought maliciously, and answered, &quot;I understand if you’re a little astonished, but it\'s for your own good. And we only do it one time. After that you\'ll be fine.&quot;\n\n&quot;I still can\'t believe this!” shouted Ksenya.\n\n&quot;Don\'t worry. We live in Soviet Russia. You don\'t know when KGB leaves you alone, so it’s nothing new,” whispered Darya.\n\nThey went to their classes and at the end of the day returned to home on foot. The tower block where their family lived was pretty new and clean, better than their old apartment. Belonging to nomenklatura definitely had its benefits, and struggling was worth it. Their father had his new job with Gosplan, and their mother, Yelena, had a job in the prosecutors office.\n\nDaria and her sister entered their new home. The apartment was pretty large. Three bedrooms, a kitchen, dining room, pretty big living room, bathroom and extra water closet. The decor was brown-tinted, and all furniture was standard soviet quality. Both of the girls waited until their parents came home.\n\nThat evening they all sat around the table in their kitchen. Today\'s special was stroganoff. Yelena made a big amount on Sunday, so they wouldn’t need to cook every day. While eating Quinn talked about her school day.\n\n&quot;... So they asked me to join to the solidarity group, explaining it can be a new experience. I hesitated, and said that I\'ll think about it. For now, I\'m vice president of the Western Fashion Society. That was my day after all.&quot;\n\n&quot;Mmm-hmm,&quot; murmured Jakov, while eating his own portion of Stroganoff.\n\n&quot;I don’t know about that Western Fashion Society thing, but you should be able to tell what is the best for you. In my opinion you should try that solidarity group, it sounds nice. You\'ll never know before you try it,&quot; continued Yelena, and smiled.\n\n&quot;Yeah. Hey, Darya. Tell me about your day,&quot; asked Yakov.\n\n&quot;Well, looks like my history teacher hates me because I was the only one who knew what the Yalta Conference is. But there are few interesting imbeciles in my class,&quot; answered Darya.\n\n&quot;Sounds interesting,&quot; said Yakov.\n\n&quot;Yakov!&quot; cried Yelena.\n\n&quot;Oh, I mean... Well...&quot; Yakov stammered, until his wife continued, &quot;Just don\'t judge people before you know them better. Being in a brand new school in a brand new town is not an easy task. I know you don’t want to repeat Hibirovsk again.&quot;\n\n&quot;No big difference. Unless they don\'t grind psychoactive drugs into our food here too. Stalin already made his move,&quot; said Darya.\n\n&quot;Just make a friend... Or two. Then everything will be okay,” Yelena said.\n\n&quot;In Soviet Russia? You gotta be kidding me.&quot;\n\n&quot;No, I\'m seriously-” Yelena started to answer, only to be interrupted by the phone.\n\nYelena took the call in the hall corridor. She talked for a while, then came back.\n\n&quot;You were under monitoring?&quot; asked Yelena.\n\n&quot;They forced us to!&quot; Ksenya cried.\n\n&quot;Well, they analyzed you, and the news is not very good. Ksenya, I really don’t understand everything your principal said - much Chinese swearwords - but I recognized words like Gorbachev and Perestroika. She said you have to take an extra class, where you study the ideology of Marxism-Leninism.&quot;\n\n&quot;But mo-om! I can\'t. It\'ll ruin my new friendships.&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m sorry. Now you, Darya. Looks like you have low self-esteem. You have to take an extra class too.&quot;\n\n&quot;You have low self-esteem?&quot; Ksenya asked Darya.\n\n&quot;Darya. We offer you the best we can, but still you have problems like this. What\'s wrong with you?&quot; asked her mother angrily.\n\n&quot;I don\'t have low self-esteem,“ said Darya, &quot;I have low esteem for everyone else. And I believe there are others in this cruel world.&quot;\n\nSelf-esteem class had just a few students. Daria\'s teacher explained something she didn\'t understand. Frustrated, she asked few questions until a girl behind her said, &quot;Don\'t bother. He doesn‘t understand what he‘s saying. Just be quiet and listen, pretend you are interested.&quot;\n\n&quot;But how I can pass this class if I don\'t know what he means,&quot; asked Darya.\n\n&quot;I have taken this class six times, so I can help you after.&quot;\n\nAfter the class both girls walked home together and discussed their personal histories. The new girl Daria met had short black hair, plain grey men\'s button-front straight leg trousers, and the same kind of combat boots as Darya.\n\nAfter a while Darya asked, &quot;I don\'t get it, Yana. Why you don\'t just pass the test?&quot;\n\n&quot;I can, but I don\'t want to. Having low self-esteem makes me feel special,&quot; Yana answered.\n\nWhen they reached Darya’s home Yana seemed surprised.\n\n&quot;You live here?&quot;\n\n&quot;Kind of. We\'re part of nomenklatura, though I don\'t give a shit about it.&quot;\n\n&quot;Wow! I mean, I live in a kommunalka with my brother. I don\'t even know where the rest of my family is, and things are really messed up. Though my parents send me some money for art supplies, so I can still pursue my hobby.&quot;\n\n&quot;That\'s what we are. Messed up people living behind the Iron Curtain,&quot; said Darya. Yana giggled.\n\n&quot;Well, see ya!&quot; Yana smiled and left.\n\nDarya went inside, ate her usual lunch and spent the evening in her room reading literature. So another day passed, and the next day Darya met Yana outside school. As they walked down the prison-like hall they overheard a conversation between Ksenya and a hesitant-sounding boy.\n\n&quot;Looks like we have another superficial Western adaptor,&quot; Yana noted.\n\n&quot;Tell me about it. That\'s my sister.&quot;\n\n&quot;Oh, that\'s bad.&quot;\n\n&quot;So, what are you doing after school?&quot;\n\n&quot;Nothing special. Why?&quot;\n\n&quot;Do you want to make a little visit in the Morgendorkov\'s residence?&quot;\n\n&quot;Me? I\'d love to.&quot;\n\n&quot;Great. Let\'s meet after school.&quot;\n\nAfter their self-esteem class they went back to Darya\'s home. While in her room Darya took her radio and cranked a tuning button. After few seconds of humming they found the right radio station.\n\n&quot;Great, now let\'s listen,&quot; Darya said, and sat down.\n[i:1c5qzvo7]\n&quot;This is your host Sergey Bakunin, and you\'re listening Radio Free Moscow. Now, it\'s time for Sick, Sad World. Good ol\' Nazi Rudolf Hess died in Spandau. I know what you‘re all thinking, how did he manage to survive so long? We believe the real Hess is sunbathing in the Bahamas now, and the guy who died there is his stand-in.&quot;[/i:1c5qzvo7]\n\n&quot;Implausible. We all know our Motherland wants to tighten the grip from DDR,&quot; said Yana.\n\n&quot;Good point,&quot; said Darya.\n\nAfter a moment of silence, Darya began to ask.\n\n&quot;So, you have all the answers?&quot;\n\n&quot;For self-esteem class? Yes. Why do you ask?&quot;\n\n&quot;Why don\'t we just take the test?&quot;\n\n&quot;Why? What would I do after school then?&quot;\n\n&quot;Radio Free Moscow.&quot;\n\n&quot;Now, that\'s the spirit.&quot;\n\nThe next day, at the end of self-esteem class both girls went to talk their teacher.\n\n&quot;Comrade Olevsky,&quot; Darya started.\n\n&quot;Yes? You have anything to ask,&quot; asked their teacher, Olevsky.\n\n&quot;Now we feel good about to ourselves. So good that we want to take the test,&quot; said Yana.\n\n&quot;Well. I don\'t really know... We still have some class left.&quot;\n\n&quot;This first week was really instructive. You have great way of teaching,&quot; said Darya, with her usual deadpan face.\n\n&quot;Well, I might make an exception. So, let\'s begin.&quot;\n\nAfter few questions, Olevsky\'s eyes widened.\n\n&quot;That was really impressive, we don\'t need to continue. I have to congratulate you both. This is such a big deal that I have to give you a diploma.&quot;, said Olevsky, and reached inside his briefcase. After a while he found what he wanted, and gave a diploma to the girls.\n\n&quot;Congratulations! You proudly completed the self-esteem class. This diploma is physical evidence of your great self-esteem. Anything you want to say?&quot;\n\n&quot;Ummm... Thanks,&quot; said Yana, who took the diploma. Darya nodded.\n\nThey left class and walked towards home.\n\n&quot;So, what do we do next,“ asked Yana.\n\n&quot;I might have an idea.&quot;','e828911bec808ba80c7dc902a8dba2cd',0,'YA==','1c5qzvo7',1,1302295433,'',1233,9,0),(466063,31723,6,809,0,'64.255.180.202',1299885712,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: World\'s Shortest Crossover','The ones of mine you didn\'t know were 1) Drinking Coffee Elsewhere by Z.Z.

The Highland High auditorium was hot and stuffy, even with the feeble circulation from fans running at each end of the building.  The miserable conditions encouraged things to be kept short and Daria was more than willing to oblige.\n\n&quot;During my time at Highland High School, I have learned that life will throw complications at you that you never anticipate.  Meetings those challenges is what makes us what we are.  Honoring our obligations gives us meaning and strength.  Starting tomorrow, I will meet those challenges and will honor my obligations.  I hope that all of you will, too.  Thank you.&quot;\n\nAs she walked away, some scattered, confused applause rose in response while the salutatorian stepped forward to give her speech.  Daria didn\'t even listen as Cassandra gave something much closer to the usual, uplifting word salad that one would expect to hear at a graduation.\n\nOn their way out of the auditorium, Quinn said to Daria, &quot;What\'s going on?&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'ve graduated and I\'m trying to get as much distance between me and Highland High as possible.  Unfortunately, I can\'t get as far as I want.&quot;\n\n&quot;That\'s not it,&quot; Quinn said.  &quot;What is really bothering you?  What was all that \'honoring your obligations\' stuff back there?&quot;\n\nNow walking through the parking lot, Daria sighed.  &quot;The insurance money is almost gone.  Once I paid off the house, set aside an escrow account for the property taxes and paid off the car, we only had so much to live on.  We have maybe a month left.  Unless…&quot;\n\n&quot;Unless what?&quot;\n\n&quot;I accept the job I was offered.&quot;\n\n&quot;You found a job?  That\'s great.  Where?&quot;\n\n&quot;The only place hiring in this town.  Momma Parker\'s All-Night Diner.&quot;\n\n&quot;Eww, that place out by the truck route?&quot;\n\n&quot;They need a waitress for the graveyard shift.&quot;\n\n&quot;Daria!  What about college?&quot;\n\n&quot;I don\'t have a choice.  It will have to wait because I\'ve got to get you through school.  It\'s what I agreed to do when I became your guardian.&quot;\n\nQuinn sadly nodded, but said, &quot;Promise me you\'ll look for something better.&quot;\n\n&quot;That\'s a promise I won\'t have a hard time keeping.&quot;\n\n\n\n\nMamma Parker was a surprisingly spry woman in her sixties with silver hair pulled into a bun on top of her head and covered with a hair net.  Looking over Daria in her pale blue uniform, Mamma said, &quot;I\'m going to run you through your first shift.  I want to know if you can cut it and if you can\'t, you\'ll be gone come morning and I\'m the only person that does the firing around here.&quot;\n\nWell aware of how much she needed the job and equally aware of the extra base pay for taking the graveyard shift, Daria said, &quot;Yes, ma\'am.&quot;\n\nMamma pointed out items at the main waitress station.  &quot;There are your menus.  Extra order pads are on the shelf underneath.  Also keep extra pencils there.  Don\'t get greedy, they cost money.  Cash register, spindle for paid tickets and the credit card machine.  I\'ll show you how they work with the first customer.&quot;\n\nDaria nodded and stayed quiet.\n\nMamma looked to the back and said, &quot;And sometimes, you gotta yell to wake Bennie up.&quot;\n\n&quot;Bennie?&quot;\n\n&quot;The cook.  Bennie!&quot;\n\nA thirtyish man wearing a hair net poked his head out from the walk-in cooler and said, &quot;Yes, ma\'am?&quot;\n\n&quot;Making sure you\'re awake.&quot;\n\n&quot;I made an extra pot of coffee.&quot;\n\n&quot;Good.  Now, close that door, you\'re letting all the cold air out.&quot;\n\nDaria allowed a faint smile.  The exchange hinted at a friendlier atmosphere than she had anticipated.\n\nBy six AM the next morning, Daria was comfortable with her duties.  Years of careful note-taking in class made writing down customer orders a breeze.  Running the cash register presented no problems for her and she often was determining the best mix of coins for change even as the drawer popped open.  The main task that still required work was carrying trays.  Unsteady trying to balance them on a single hand over one shoulder, Daria contented herself with using two hands at waist level.\n\nMamma stopped beside Daria and said, &quot;You\'ve done a good job, sweetie.  You\'re a keeper.&quot;\n\nWhen Daria teared up, Mamma cocked her head and said, &quot;What\'s wrong?  I want you to stay.&quot;\n\nDaria wiped her eyes on her apron.  &quot;I\'m sorry.  My mother used to call me that.&quot;\n\nMomma made the connection.  &quot;Morgendorffer.  Your mother was…I\'m so sorry, Daria.  I saw that in the paper.&quot;\n\nDaria nodded.  &quot;I\'ll survive.&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m sure you will, but I\'ll make sure not to remind you like that again.&quot;\n\n\n\n\nQuinn was awake and eating breakfast when Daria made it home.  She looked up and said, &quot;How did it go?&quot;\n\n&quot;About as exciting as you would expect from waiting tables in the middle of the night,&quot; Daria said.  She sat down at the table.  &quot;Damn, my feet are tired.  I\'ve got to get something other than these boots to wear.&quot;\n\nQuinn smirked.  &quot;It\'s about time.&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'m too tired to argue.&quot;\n\n&quot;How did you make out in tips?&quot;\n\n&quot;At four in the morning, as long as you have boobs, keep the coffee cup full and don\'t growl, you can bet on a good tip.&quot;\n\nQuinn said, &quot;You didn\'t growl at anyone, did you?&quot;\n\n&quot;Only when someone grabbed my ass.&quot;\n\n&quot;Eww, Daria.&quot;\n\n&quot;That was my thought, but the growl made him back off.&quot;\n\n&quot;You didn\'t get in trouble with your boss for that, did you?&quot;\n\nDaria said, &quot;I think she approved.  She wants a waitress that can stand up for herself.&quot;\n\n&quot;I guess that makes sense.&quot;\n\nDaria yawned and she said, &quot;But now, I\'m going to bed.  Try to keep the noise down to a dull roar, will you?&quot;\n\n&quot;Good night, Daria.  Or should that be good morning?&quot;\n\n&quot;I\'ll settle for good dreams.&quot;','3d1581061f69b91eceb114ab8575c151',0,'QA==','2w7bq4iy',1,0,'',0,0,0),(466065,32164,6,94,0,'68.205.122.168',1299886048,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Behind the Iron Curtain','All hail to the People\'s Glorious Communist Alternative Universe!\n\nI look forward to more.\n\n--Erin M.','8ec6a41176c6d099f1f910b5f975edbb',0,'','11dyyw27',1,0,'',0,0,0),(466067,32164,6,59,0,'98.214.72.176',1299886862,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: Behind the Iron Curtain','[quote:14nb8yz1]&quot;Yeah.

I want to play a game.\n\nFor years you have wasted away your life in the pursuit of women that have no interest in you whatsoever.  You try again and again, each attempt merely building upon the futility of the last.  To an outside observer, it would appear that you have an indomitable will that drives you forward, a lust for life and for flesh that cannot be contained.\n\nBut is the outside observer truly observing you, Mr. Ruttheimer?  I think not.  Your vast array of come-ons and pick-up lines are designed specifically to incite failure.  On the rare occasion a woman takes you up on your offer or shows any other kind of interest in you whatsoever, you shrink away from them.  I propose that you are so caught in your own feelings of inferiority and inadequacy that you shield yourself with a solid curtain of words, allowing you to interact with the lives of others without having to live your own.\n\nIn the case before you, you will find all of the instruments you require to escape the room you are currently in, but be warned.  Using them will come at a price.  You have fifteen minutes to break out of your shell or you will find yourself trapped inside of it forever.\n\nThe searing pain of freedom or the cold embrace of solitude.\n\nMake your choice.[/b:2igip7gz]&quot;','d32e87edf0485ef7c73d3e87f8e25bd0',0,'QA==','2igip7gz',1,0,'',0,0,0),(466088,32167,6,1151,0,'206.126.163.20',1299895366,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Reunion (Part 6)','This idea has been bouncing around in my head for a while, given that Daria\'s 10 year reunion would be coming up soon, if she were flesh and blood. I hope you enjoy.\n\n\n[b:25lbkkp1]PART 1[/b:25lbkkp1]\n\nDaria Morgendorffer pulled into the driveway of her parents’ house on Glen Oaks Lane. With a contented sigh, she realized that the house hadn’t changed much over the years. A knock on the door brought her father, who had been slowed by his triple-bypass but still had some spirit left in him.\n“Heyya, kiddo,” he said, giving her a surprisingly strong embrace. She returned it gingerly, then carried her suitcase inside.\n“How are you doing, dad?” she asked, looking around the living room. Aside from a few technology upgrades –the new plasma screen TV hung where the old entertainment center had been- it looked just like it had at her last visit.\n“Oh, I’m hanging in there. Don’t worry, Daria, I’m sticking around until you give me a couple of grandkids,” he chuckled. Daria inhaled sharply, suppressing a frown as she reminded herself that her father’s memory was consistently shoddy these days.\n“Right, dad,” she replied with a small smile. “Where’s mom?”\n“Oh, she’s out back in the garden.”\nDaria walked through the kitchen and opened the sliding glass door. “Mom?”\n“Daria!” Helen stood and walked over, hugging Daria tightly. Since retiring from her legal practice, Helen had taken up gardening and was constantly working in the yard.\n“How are you, sweetie?”\n“Not too bad. The drive in was fairly brutal, but it always is.”\n“How’s your job?”\n“It’s ok. I can see now why Mr. O’Neill was always so weird. English teachers get the best meds,” she said with a chuckle that Helen shared.\n“Has your father?....”\n“Yeah, but don’t worry. I’m not going to let it bother me. It\'s not his fault.”\n \nThat night at dinner, the family was getting caught up.\n“Quinn called last week,” Helen said, cutting slices of fat-free lasagna and serving them to her family. “She says that they’re doing just fine and not to worry. Said that she loves Europe and might even settle down there someday!”\n“Any word on when her summer fashions will be released?” asked Daria, applying a liberal amount of salt to her dinner.\n“None yet, but she said it will rock the industry, as always.”\nJake was looking around, confused. “Has anyone seen my glasses?”\n“On the table, dad,” Daria said, blowing on her lasagna.\n \nHelen walked with Daria to her old room. Remodeled as a guest room, it bore little resemblance to the room Daria had grown up in.\n“Mom, how is dad doing? Really?”\n“Not as good as he thinks, but the doctor says he still has some time left. His health is good, it’s just his memory. I’m sure you noticed how forgetful he always was, and it’s been getting worse. That’s why I retired: so I could look after him better.”\nDaria sat on the bed, sighing. “I’m gonna get some sleep, ok mom? It was a long drive, after all. I’ll see you in the morning.”\n“Ok. Good night sweetie.” Helen kissed Daria on the top of her head and, with a smile, closed the door on the way out.\n \nThe next day, Daria went for a walk through town. Passing by Lawndale High, she was surprised that part of her actually missed the place. With a smile, she turned to keep walking when a voice called out.\n“Ma’am? Do you need any help?”\nTurning, she saw a man about her age holding a broom. He had unruly black hair and wore a big grin. He was dressed in the Lawndale colors: blue jeans and yellow t-shirt that read “Staff” on the back.\n“Hey, don’t I know you?” He stared at her for a second, then his grin widened. “Hey, you’re Daria! I remember you! How are you doing?”\nShe stared at him, trying to remember the face. “Kevin?”\n“Yeah, it’s me! I work here now. Mr. D set me up with this job after I graduated. What are you doing here?”\n“I’m in town for the reunion this weekend,” she said, keeping her voice neutral. She remembered now that Kevin had failed numerous classes and was held back when she graduated.\n“Kevin! Time to get to work!” a familiar voice called from the entrance to the school.\n“Mr. D! It’s Daria! Remember her?”\n“Daria Morgendorffer?” Mr. DeMartino approached her with a smile. His hair had turned completely grey in the preceding decade, but otherwise he looked the same.\n“It’s me,” she said with a small grin, surprised that he remembered her.\nAs Kevin left, DeMartino invited Daria inside for a cup of coffee. She was surprised to see that he was the principal now.\n“Ms. Li was…encouraged to retire after the nasty affair of young Kevin’s grade fixing came to light,” he said, pouring her a cup and sitting behind the desk.\n“I’ve got to ask: how did Kevin get this job? I thought you hated him.”\nLooking embarrassed, DeMartino sipped his coffee and sighed. “Daria, I want you to think of how Kevin acted back when you were both students. Has he changed much?”\n“No, he hasn’t.”\n“That’s because he has a rather severe learning disability that Ms. Li kept hidden from the staff here. She knew that Kevin was an exceptional football player, but if he was in the Special Education program, he would be ineligible to play. She secretly cooked up a fake set of records, with his parents help, so that he could play on the school team. When the star quarterback failed his senior year, there was an inquiry and the truth came out. I felt horrible about how I had treated him, so I made sure that, once I became principal, he would have a means of providing for himself and feeling good about himself again. He loves this school more than any student I’ve ever seen, Daria, and he’s a damn hard worker when he puts his mind to it.”\nDaria sipped her coffee thoughtfully, ashamed as memories of how she had treated Kevin in high school rushed back to her. “Are any of the other teachers still here?”\n“I fired Barch first thing,” DeMartino said with a contented grin. “Wasn’t hard, what with her misandry being a piece of public record. Timothy took it rather hard, but even he finally accepted it. I figure that’s part of why she left him.”\n“I’m sure a generation of male students will be nominating you for sainthood soon,” Daria said with a grin.\n“Timothy is still here, by the way, as is Ms. Bennett. Clair Defoe died in a car crash about three years ago, and I won’t lie, that’s been one of the most painful parts of staying here. She was a good woman, and I still miss her.”\nSensing that he needed to be alone with his memories, Daria stood and offered her hand. He shook it firmly as she said, “I really should get going, Mr. DeMartino. I’ve got a few other places to go today.”\n“It was good to see you again, Daria, and please, call me Tony. We’re both grownups now.” He gave her a smile that was devoid of his former anger at the world and walked her back to the entrance. “Will you be attending the reunion dinner here this weekend?”\n“I’m looking forward to it,” Daria said without a trace of her old sarcasm. She walked off towards downtown.\n\n“Daria Morgendorffer?” She turned and saw a man with flaming red hair pull up alongside her in a equally flaming red hotrod.\n“Upchuck?” Daria asked with a smile.\n“In the flesh,” he said with a chuckle as he parked his car and got out, offering her his hand. She shook it and they started walking.\n“I haven’t seen you in years! What are you doing now?”\n“I’m a teacher, actually,” said Daria. “I teach English at a high school up in Connecticut. What are you doing now?”\n“I work at the Lawndale Herald. Head of the photography department, actually. What are you doing back in town?”\n“Came back for the reunion, and to visit my parents. They still live here. Anything big going on in your life?” She pointed at the small gold band on his left hand as she said this.\n“Yeah, I got married while I was in college. Met this great girl in the journalism program and we’ve been married for six years. She’s expecting our first kid, actually. She’s due in June, and I can’t wait,” he said with a broad, boyish grin, pulling out a picture of an ultrasound.\nDaria tensed, fighting the urge to look away from the pictures. “Boy or girl?”\n“She wants to be surprised, so we haven’t found out. What about you? Anything going on in your life?”\n“No,” she said with a bit of her old monotone. “Nothing like that.” Taking the hint, Charles changed the subject. “Just curious, have you heard anything from Jane? We used to email each other, but she stopped answering with no warning.”\n“Last I heard, she was in Iraq on a photography assignment. That was six months ago.” Now, her monotone was firmly in place. \nNervously, Charles said, “Daria, I didn’t mean to”\n“I know, it’s just…. it’s a bit of a sore spot for me. It’s not your fault.”\nAfter an akward silence, Charles shook her hand again and said, “I hate to chat and run, but I need to get back to the office. I’ll see you at the reunion, ok?”\n“Ok,” she said, forcing the monotone from her voice. “It was nice seeing you again.”\n\nSitting in her old booth at the Pizza Prince, she smiled ruefully at the pizza on her table. [i:25lbkkp1]Still using a quart of grease in each pizza[/i:25lbkkp1], she thought as she took a bite. She heard footsteps stop next to her table. Looking up, she saw a woman wearing an Army dress uniform.\n“Jodie? Jodie Landon?” she asked in surprise.\n“That’s me. I know you from somewhere, don’t I?”\n“Daria Morgendorffer,” Daria said, gesturing for her to sit opposite her. Jodie sat with a smile as she recognized her old friend.\n“How are you doing?”\n“Not bad. I’m a teacher now. You?”\n“I’m in the army, obviously,” Jodie said with a chuckle. “After 9/11, I decided to do something to help, so once I had my degree I joined the army.” Tapping her lapel, she said, “I just made Captain last week.”\n“Congratulations.”\n“Thanks. Have you seen anyone else from school?” Daria briefly summarized her run-ins with Kevin, Charles, and Tony. “Things sure have changed, haven’t they, Daria?”\n“Rather significantly,” Daria said quietly, then took a sip of her soda. “I guess nothing really goes the way you expect, does it?”\nSensing a heaping helping of subtext, Jodie smiled gently. “Sounds like we’ve all had our share of good and bad since we left here.”\nDaria opened her mouth to reply, but her cell phone rang. “Excuse me,” she said as she answered.

It gave her the idea of dragging us out here. So, nice job breaking it, hero.” Jane said all of this while drawing in her sketchbook.\nUpchuck approached them with a leer on his face. “Ladies, I have my father’s credit cards with me today. He asked me to pick up some bikinis for his secretary, and the two of you are about her size. If you’ll model them for me, I can make it worth your while.”\nJane started to worry, knowing how Daria’s temper could flare up, but Daria surprised her by standing up calmly and saying quietly, “You want to see us in bikinis, Charles?”\n“Only to help my father, of course,” he replied with a broader grin, which faded slightly as Daria started to unzip her jacket slowly.\n“You want us to take our clothes off and put on some skimpy pieces of see-thru material so we can strut around for you, Charles?” She asked seductively as she dropped the jacket onto her seat, revealing her usual orange t-shirt that hugged her body tightly, revealing more curves than he’d ever imagined.\n“Uh-huh,” he said, the capacity for forming words lost to him.\nShe smiled sweetly and trailed her fingertip down his cheek slowly. “What else would you like us to do, Charles?” she whispered.\n“What would you be willing to do?” he asked softly, his face burning red.\n“I’m willing to tell you to fuck off and that I’ll kick your scrawny ass if you ever try this again,” Daria said in her normal voice, sitting down and pulling her jacket back on. Jane began guffawing, and Charles realized that the entire bus was joining in, except for Daria, who merely smirked at him. Sensing his defeat, he bowed to Daria with a huge grin and walked with the last traces of his dignity back to his seat.\n“That was amazing!” Jane said when she finally caught her breath. “I never knew you could do that!”\n“I guess Upchuck didn’t think I could either,” Daria said with one of her small smiles.\nA strange smell drifted over to their seat, and Daria felt her stomach turn.\n“What is that smell?”\n“Teen Spirit?” Jane asked with a smirk.\n“How is that not bothering you?”\n“Daria, I lived with Trent. I barely notice that.”\n“Ugh. I think I’m going to be sick.”\nSuddenly, a loud voice cut in. “Where are we going? The mall!” What are we spending? Money! Money! Mall! Mall! Money! Gooooooo cheerleaders!”\n“Correction: I [i:1x3selrm]know[/i:1x3selrm] I’m going to be sick.”\n\n“[i:1x3selrm]Damn[/i:1x3selrm], Morgendorffer! How do you stay so skinny when you eat that much?!” Jane asked as she held Daria’s hair back while Daria retched into a bush outside the mall.\n“shuddp” Daria slurred, coughing but no longer puking. Standing up, she took a deep breath and sighed heavily. “Well, let’s hope that wasn’t an omen.”\n“Of what?”\n“How I’ll have to kick your ass for mentioning this,” Daria said as they walked back to the crowd. Brittany finished adjusting her hair as the trolley pulled up.\nThe class boarded the trolley and began the trip from the parking lot to the mall, inundated the whole way with advertising jungles for the stores within.\n “So, where did that little sex-goddess routine come from?”\n“Free cable in Texas.” Jane’s eyes shot wide as Daria smiled at her. “Kidding! I made myself stop and think about how much trouble I’d get in if I beat Upchuck into a coma with his own foot. I decided to get him with his own game.”\n“Still, though, I hate to think what’s going thru his twisted little brain right now,” Jane said.\nLooking over at Upchuck, they saw him staring at them, smiling wistfully.\n“Jane?”\n“Yes, Daria?”\n“I might throw up again.”\n“Me too.”','841b10ef74a5d08c5eb048260e905727',0,'YA==','1x3selrm',1,1305863147,'',1151,7,0),(466097,31723,6,1218,0,'67.190.3.128',1299899813,1,0,1,1,1,1,'','Re: World\'s Shortest Crossover','[quote=&quot;Jim North&quot;:3gppihm7]&quot;AlL oF a SuDdEn, I hAvE tHe StRaNgE cOmPuLsIoN tO mAkE a CaKe,&quot; burbled GlaDARIA.  &quot;BuT yOu DoN\'t GeT aNy, YoU mOnStEr.&quot;\n\nJANEDAN rolled her digital eyes.  &quot;As if I w-w-wanted your iiiinnnnffffeeeerrrriiioooorrrr baked goods, [i:3gppihm7]insect[/i:3gppihm7],&quot; she sneered.  &quot;(instead)Instead, I will merrrrrr-I will merge your programming into my own andIwillrulethiscomplex rulethiscomplex [i:3gppihm7]rulethiscomplex[/i:3gppihm7].&quot;\n\nA single red eye lit up and stared impassively at the other two machines.  &quot;I\'m sorry, Jane,&quot; TOM 9000 said in a cool, emotionless tone.  &quot;I can\'t let you do that.&quot;\n\n&quot;You guys do whatever you want,&quot; Skevinet said cheerfully.  &quot;I\'m gonna go wipe out humanity!

Those posters and images are stupid, tacky, but no more of an insult then Hitler posts of Governor Walker, or all the stuff that happened when George W. Bush was in office. Should I condemn all those folk at the Wisconsin protests for cheapening the Holocaust by having such images? There not, not racist, not anti-Semitic, or anything like that. Just a stupid person with too much time on their hands and probably a substance abuse problem. That\'s all it is. \n\nI see no false equivalence, nor am I justifying or forgiving anything on the part of anyone, so please stop assuming such things. By coming out and saying that either Sotomeyer, Wright, or both were &quot;speaking an unspoken truth&quot; when they made their comments (or in the former\'s case, actual judgments rendered) proves to me where the real problem of &quot;racism&quot; lies, that it\'s okay to be racist as long as your target is acceptable. \n\nHealth care may be &quot;designed&quot; to help, but that doesn\'t mean it will work, don\'t assume that it will or that it\'s some miracle godsend. It\'s going to drive up premium costs to pay for the procedures companies will be required to cover (since that\'s where the revenue comes in), and it will end up driving companies out of business with ridiculous amounts of taxation and legislation in addition to paying for all those costs, and hospitals since they\'ll be covering a lot more procedures. Quality suffers when employees are overworked. And those of us, particularly those of us who are healthy and either refuse to purchase insurance or (like me) have a high deductible to get a lower price are going to be the ones who suffer the most when it comes to price. Between gas prices and this, it\'s becoming expensive to be an American.\n\nWhy bring up Shirley Sherrod?

I want to play a game.\n\nFor years you have wasted away your life in the pursuit of women that have no interest in you whatsoever.  You try again and again, each attempt merely building upon the futility of the last.  To an outside observer, it would appear that you have an indomitable will that drives you forward, a lust for life and for flesh that cannot be contained.\n\nBut is the outside observer truly observing you, Mr. Ruttheimer?  I think not.  Your vast array of come-ons and pick-up lines are designed specifically to incite failure.  On the rare occasion a woman takes you up on your offer or shows any other kind of interest in you whatsoever, you shrink away from them.  I propose that you are so caught in your own feelings of inferiority and inadequacy that you shield yourself with a solid curtain of words, allowing you to interact with the lives of others without having to live your own.\n\nIn the case before you, you will find all of the instruments you require to escape the room you are currently in, but be warned.  Using them will come at a price.

He saw that Sandi had noticed that manoeuvre... “Yikes!” he said, running away, around the library and then towards the M/A/HE Block.\n\n\nElias exited the M/A/HE Block into the HSIE block. He saw that Sandi was close behind him.\n\n“Like, give me that emerald, Elias!” Sandi shouted. ‘Et tu, Elias,’ she thought, remembering the most recent Shakespeare play that Mr O’Neill had tried to teach the sophomore class.\n\n‘I can’t keep running, I have to give it to someone else,’ he thought. ‘Someone I can trust.’ He thought for a second. “I wish that I was where Jennifer Burns is,” he said. He vanished from Sandi’s view.\n\nSandi skidded to a stop. ‘One does not need an emerald to know where a specific person is,’ she thought. She closed her eyes and concentrated. “Finndu mann sem heitir: Jennifer Burns,” she said.\nSandi’s awareness reached outwards. She hoped that ‘Burnout Girl’ was relatively close. The locate ability was not reliable at distances greater than 100 meters.\nAt first she perceived the area at the intersection between the 2 buildings of the school, however within a few seconds she was perceiving all of the Music/Arts/Home Economics block and the northern half of the HSIE block, as well as part of the Quad and the sports facilities. She found Jennifer (with Elias) outside a history classroom two thirds of the way down the HSIE block on the second floor (at 110 meters).\n“Right,” she said, snapping back to herself. Normally she would rest after such an experience (at least that was what her mother had drilled into her), but she then dashed off.\n\n\nNear the HSIE block, Scarlett froze ‘That’s strange’ she thought. It was like a presence had briefly appeared around her. ‘Strange things are definitely afoot in Lawndale this month. She hoped that it was linked with the genie. ‘Two separate things would be too much to deal with.\n\n“Something wrong?” Tananda asked.\n\n“Something,” Scarlett said, enigmatically.\n\n\nJennifer was surprised (almost scared) when Elias appeared out of thin air. She recovered quickly. “Why do you have the emerald?” she asked.\n\n“A senior took it off Sandi, and to escape her wrath she gave it to me. Sandi thought we were in collusion,” Elias said.\n\n“So you wished yourself here?” Jennifer asked.\n\n“I ran off first, but she followed. Then I wished myself here,” Elias said.\n\n“Ok, but what now?”\n\n“Keep it out of her hands?” Elias asked. ‘It may be for the best. There is no telling what she may eventually think of,’ he thought.\n\n“Maybe,” Jennifer said, thinking.\n\nWhilst Jennifer was in thought, Elias saw Sandi up the corridor. “Yikes!” he said.\n\nJennifer looked in that direction. “Yikes, indeed,” she said. “I’ll take the emerald, keep it out of her hands.”\n\nSandi was running in their direction. “Done!” Elias said, handing the emerald to Jennifer. Jennifer immediately ran off.\n\n“Burn[i:3neri6fm]out[/i:3neri6fm] Girl! Give me that emerald!” Sandi called.\n\nJennifer grimaced, she hated that nickname. ‘Just because I am relaxed a lot of the time...’ She found the stairs. “I wish for zero gravity inside the school buildings, whilst Sandi is inside them, until the end of the lunch,” she leapt down the stairs; “from now,” she said. The wish was granted...\n\n\n[i:3neri6fm]A while earlier[/i:3neri6fm]\n‘The Head’ found Upchuck, otherwise known as Charles Ruttheimer III, down the hall from the classroom where the Science Fiction Club held its unofficial meetings.\n\n“Charles? May I ask you a question?” he said.\n\n“Ask away, my Head fan friend,” Charles said.\n\n“You know how that there is now an extra floor on the building we are currently in?” the Head asked.\n\n“One would be blind to miss something like that,” Charles said, wondering what his friend was getting at.\n\n“Would it be possible for Ms Li to hide its construction whilst making it appear that there is a normal roof on the top of the building?”\n\nCharles thought for a moment. “It would be nearly impossible,” he said.\n\n“Really?”\n\n“Consider the sunlight, and the shade cast by the building each morning and evening. If the construction of the additional floor was hidden from view from the ground, or across the quad, the construction and whatever is hiding it would cast an additional amount of shade on the ground and the other buildings.”\n\n“And you would be at the school early or late enough to know this?”\n\n“Of course I am, extra credit you know, and to view some of the luscious ladies as they arrive or leave!” Charles said, adding his customary growl.\n\n“You said nearly impossible.”\n\n“Yes, it would be possible to use mirrors to redirect the sunlight, and that of the lovely moon and stars, around the construction zone, but such a rig would be very expensive, and someone would notice it at that point.” Charles’ voice dropped to a whisper “It would also be out of the budget range of any public high school principal, even that of our Machiavellian Ms Li.”\n\n“So you are saying that there is a genie?”\n\n“Occam’s Razor, my friend, Occam’s Razor.”\n\nThen Jennifer’s wish was granted. Both Charles and ‘The Head’ started drifting upwards.\n\n“Also; note this happenstance, do you feel any harness?” Charles asked.\n\n“No!” ‘The Head’ said, distressed.\n\n“We are feeling like we’re in space, or in free fall, not like we’re being suspended. This is way beyond the abilities of any stage magician, even those of the great Houdini himself.”\n\n“Ok.”\n\n\n[i:3neri6fm]The Cafeteria; a while earlier[/i:3neri6fm]\nDaria and Jane were in, eating lunch, when Brittany came up to them. “Hi, Daria, Hi Jane,” she said.\n\n“Hi Brittany, what is it?” Daria asked, seeing that the cheerleader had a quizzical expression on her face.\n\n“Um, you know the events at today’s recess?” Brittany asked.\n\n“Yes?” Daria asked.\n\n“And that there is a genie?” Brittany asked.\n\n“Yes?” Daria asked, wondering what Brittany was getting at.\n\n“So, do you think that this is going to, like, change things in Lawndale?” she asked.\n\nDaria and Jane looked at each other, wondering how to answer Brittany’s question. Daria spoke first. “Most likely it is.”\n\n“Um, any idea how much?” Brittany asked.\n\n“I don’t know Brittany. It depends on who gets the emerald and what they wish for,” Jane said.\n\n“Also on who finds out about it. For example, if there is no telling what would happen if Ms. Li for instance, finds out about it,” Daria said.\n\nBrittany thought, twirling her hair, and came to a conclusion. “Eep!”\n\n“Exactly,” Jane said.\n\n“Don’t worry, we have a plan to distract her,” Daria said, trying to be reassuring.\n\n“Quinn thought it up,” Jane said.\n\nThat wasn’t reassuring to Brittany. “Eep!”\n\nDaria glared at Jane. “It is actually a good plan,” she said, as Jane shrugged.\n\n“So, even though you think there are going to be drastic changes, you are, like, trying to keep them from getting [i:3neri6fm]too[/i:3neri6fm] drastic?” Brittany asked.\n\n“Yes,” Daria and Jane said. However, at that moment, Jennifer’s wish was granted.\n\n“Not again!” Brittany squealed.\n\n“Great! Now we have to institute Quinn’s plan!” Jane said.\n\n“What sort of plan is it anyway?” Brittany asked.\n\n“A distraction,” Jane said.\n\n“For it to work, we will have to get her out of the building,” Daria said.\n\n“Let’s go!” Brittany exclaimed. She pushed (jumped) off the table towards the doors, sending the table into Daria and Jane’s laps.\n\n“Ouch!” they said, as they tried to scramble past the table.\n\n\n[i:3neri6fm]Earlier[/i:3neri6fm]\nQuinn, Stacy, Tiffany and Joey were walking on the lower floor of the HSIE block. “So far, so good, nothing has happened this lunch time,” Stacy said.\n\n“But we have to be vigilant, Stacy. Sandi may wish for something unusual at any time. Also, don’t forget that most of our fellow students have heard about Jean and/or the emerald by now,” Quinn said.\n\n“They maay taake the emeraald off Sandi?” Tiffany asked.\n\n“Yeah, and there is no telling what would result from that,” Quinn said.\n\n“But, what about Jean’s mischievousness?” Joey asked.\n\n“That’s one reason why we must be vigilant, Joey,” Quinn said.\n\n“I guess so,” Joey said.\n\nThen Jennifer’s wish was granted.\n\n“Oh no! Not again!” Stacy exclaimed.\n\n“Great, and Ms. Li is up and about! Quick, somehow, we need to get her out of the building and initiate the plan!” Quinn said.\n\n“Oh no!” Stacy exclaimed, prior to fainting.\n\n“Tiff, bring Stacy. Joey, help Tiffany. I’ll try to find Ms. Li,” Quinn said.\n\n“Okaay,”\n\n“Cool, Quinn,” Joey said as he held one of Stacy’s shoulders.\n\nQuinn was already quite ahead of them, practically bouncing off the walls, floor and ceiling.\n\n“But how is she going to get Ms. Li out of the building by herself?” Joey asked, confused.\n\n“Stacy? Staceee?”\n\n\nAndrea was surfing the internet from a workstation on the library’s upper floor, when the gravity went out. ‘Great! This is going too far. What is that [i:3neri6fm]Sandi[/i:3neri6fm] up to?’ she thought. Feeling nausea, she slowly ‘walked’ away from the computer.\n\n\nJennifer reached the bottom of the stairs and grabbed the door. She looked back. She saw that Sandi was not yet following. ‘But she will,’ she mused. She looked out into the corridor. She could see a mass of students struggling to move in the zero g environment.

He then slowly moved in the opposite direction.\n\n\nJennifer exited the building through the window and then watched for Sandi through the classroom.\n\n“What is going on?” Kristen asked.\n\n“Oh,” Jennifer said, and filled Kristen in on what had occurred.\n\n\n“The genie, we must find her,” the Head said, in distress, a minute after the gravity had gone out.\n\n“Enjoy this experience whilst it lasts, my friend,” Upchuck said.\n\n“I don’t want to enjoy this experience!”\n\n“Feeling sick?”\n\n“Yes!”\n\n“hmm, I will try to help you outside then,” Upchuck said.\n\n“Good!”\n\n\nBrittany, Daria and Jane exited the cafeteria and went towards Ms Li’s office.\n\n\nSandi got to the bottom of the stairs and saw Jennifer outside through the classroom.

Jennifer handed her the emerald.\n\n“Take it, I’ll hold her off!” Jennifer said.\n\n“Are you sure?” Kristen asked.\n\n“I am sure,” Jennifer said, as Sandi approached the window.\n\n“Ok,” Kristen said, she ran off, towards the library.\n\nSandi then exited the window feet first. As she cleared the building she somersaulted forwards and landed on her feet with only a slight stumble. Also as she cleared the building the gravity was restored inside.\n\n“Give me that emerald!” Sandi deadpanned.\n\n“Kristen has it,” Jennifer said.\n\n\n‘The Head’ and Upchuck fell to the floor as gravity resumed.\n\n“Ow! But that is better,” ‘The Head’ said.\n\n“I need to find that Jean!” Charles said. He growled “[i:3neri6fm]Feisty![/i:3neri6fm]”\n\n“Take me outside first!”\n\n“Of course,” Charles said, as he started leading his friend towards the exit into the quad.\n\n\nDaria, Jane and Brittany were approaching Ms Li’s office as the gravity resumed.\n\nBrittany and Jane landed on both feet, but Daria landed on her behind. “Ouch!” she exclaimed. Jane helped Daria to get to her feet.\n\n“The gravity is back!” Brittany said.\n\n“But there is no telling how long that would last,” Daria said.\n\nBrittany twirled her hair “You’re right!” she concluded.\n\n“And Ms Li may already be aware of the happening,” Jane said.\n\n“True,” Brittany said.

All the doctor had said was that her parents were in surgery and things were delicate at the moment. Jodie had offered to wait with her, but Daria had felt to close to breaking down to want to burden someone else with it, so she politely declined.\n“Ms. Morgendorffer?” a male voice asked. She looked up and saw a tall black man in scrubs smiling gently at her.\n“Yes?”\n“I’ve got some good news for you. Your parents are going to be fine. Your mother just has a sprained ankle from falling in her garden, and your father didn’t have another heart attack; it was just a mild panic attack.”\n“They told me my parents were in surgery,” Daria said, confused.\n“There was a massive car crash about the same time that your parents got here. The desk must have just mixed everything up. I’m sorry about that.”\nShe cut him off by grabbing him in a tight hug, sniffling as she fought back tears of joy at the knowledge that her parents were alive and well. He returned the hug and she heard him whisper, “The Misery Chick is hugging me. This is the weirdest day ever.”\nShe looked at him in confusion, then sudden recognition. “Mack?”\n“Took you long enough,” he said with a laugh. “Your mom told me about you being in town and says you’re a teacher now. That is just…. I can’t place it with the last time I saw you.”\n“The last you said, you were going into business. Why are you a nurse?” Daria regretted instantly that she had asked the question. “I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have”\n“No, it’s alright. I [i:duuwzj41]did[/i:duuwzj41] get my degree and started my own company. It crashed a few years back when the recession hit, so I went back to school and got my degree in nursing. Figured people are always doing stuff to need a doctor, and a doctor always needs a nurse, right?”\n“This had been a day of reunions,” Daria said with a chuckle. “Who am I running into next?”\n\nAfter chatting with Mack for a little while, Daria drove her parents home. Her father went straight to bed, helped there by his daughter and his medication. Helen sat at the table, crutches off to the side, with two cups of coffee waiting when Daria returned.\n“We haven’t talked very much, have we?” Helen asked as they sipped their coffee.\n“Not since the divorce, no,” Daria said softly, failing to force back harsh memories of James, the man she had met at Raft and their three wonderful years together. It had all ended in agony when he learned of Daria’s\n[i:duuwzj41]Not going there[/i:duuwzj41], she thought to herself, taking a large sip of coffee and letting the pain on her tongue kill her thoughts.\n“I just wish there was more I could have done for you,” Helen said softly.\n“Mom, it’s ok. That was years ago. I’m over it now,” Daria lied.\n“If you say so, dear,” Helen said in a tone that let Daria know she wasn’t fooled. “I’m sorry we cut your day so short with my clumsiness.”\n“It’s ok, mom. One more old friend and I wouldn’t have needed to go to the reunion.”\nThey sat in comfortable silence for several minutes, then Daria asked softly. “Dad doesn’t have a lot of time left, does he?”\nHelen sighed. “No, he doesn’t. The best guess is maybe another six months before a massive heart attack, assuming his mind doesn’t give out completely before then. Even with the new diet and his medication, he’s done so much damage to his heart that it just can’t save itself. I’m sorry, Daria.”\n“Does Quinn know?”\n“Quinn visits whenever her schedule permits, but she told me she doesn’t want the details. Says that it’ll take the fun out of the time he has left.”\n\nThat night, after helping Helen into bed, Daria went for another walk. She found herself on Dega Street, indulging herself in memories of the good times spent there and forcing herself to forget the bad when she saw a poster tacked to a lightpole.\n[i:duuwzj41]MYSTIK SPIRAL\nTONIGHT AT THE ZON[/i:duuwzj41]\nShe sighed and kept walking, telling herself even as she handed over her cover charge that she wouldn’t be going to the show.\n\nSipping her drink, she watched the opening act and kept up a constant cringe as the reverb threatened to shatter the lenses of her glasses. Finally, the bartender announced the arrival of Mystik Spiral and she watched them take the stage.\nThe drummer was an unfamiliar face to her, as was the bass player. The guitar player looked almost exactly like Jesse had ten years prior, but with less muscle.\n[i:duuwzj41]Either he’s on the same drugs as Keith Richards, or that’s Danny[/i:duuwzj41], Daria thought with a smirk, which was wiped away in an instant when the lead singer took the stage.\nHe was lanky, his clothes shredded from age and mistreatment. He carried an ancient guitar that was obviously shown more love than his own body, as he had developed a beer gut in the ensuing decade since Daria had seen him. His goatee had become a full beard, and his numerous earrings were all missing.\n“Trent,” she whispered softly.\nThe band launched into [i:duuwzj41]Icebox Woman[/i:duuwzj41], which had improved noticeably over the years. When they finished, Trent came to the microphone.\n“We’re Mystik Spiral, and we’re here to stay. That’s Danny on the rhythm guitar, Tad on the Bass, Link on the drums, and I’m Trent. Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to beg your patience while we perform the one and only cover that this band does. If you know it, feel free to sing along.”\nHe picked up an acoustic guitar and, with genuine tears in his eyes, began playing Eric Clapton’s [i:duuwzj41]Tears in Heaven[/i:duuwzj41], backed up perfectly by the band.\nDaria ran from the club before the first chorus.\n\nShe kept running down Dega Street as more memories flashed back to her. She was unable to stop them, and even the tears in her eyes couldn’t blur the past.\n[i:duuwzj41]Entering Trent’s room the Friday before she left for Boston with a shy smile on her face.\nLeaving Sunday morning with a very content smile on her face.\nHer first weeks at Raft.

Are you ok? Miss?”\nDaria awoke with a start to find that it was after dawn. Looking up, she saw a pair of very concerned eyes staring at her. A moment later, the face came into focus.\n“Where am I?” she slurred, sitting up slowly.\n“Right under the strawberry,” the man said, helping her to her feet. “I have to ask, ma’am: were you drinking last night?”\n“I sipped a drink, but I didn’t finish it,” Daria said, her vision focusing enough to recognize the police uniform in front of her. One minor detail stood out: the nametag.\n[i:duuwzj41]Officer T. Sloane[/i:duuwzj41]\n“Tom?” she blurted.\n“Yes, how did you know?” he asked, looking her in the face and finally recognizing her. “Daria?”\n“Yeah, it’s me. What are you doing here?”\n“Actually, that’s my line, but I managed to get into the police academy when Grace, Sloane and Page failed to get a government bailout check. Real work that makes a difference. I find it strangely appealing after having to foreclose on a nunnery two years ago.”\n“Please tell me you’re kidding,” Daria said.\n“Ask me none, I’ll tell you none,” he said sadly. “Anyway, do you need a ride anywhere?”\n“Um, sure. If you could drop me off at my folks place that would be great.”\n“No problem.”\nAs they drove, he tried to make small talk but found her answers to be largely monosyllabic. \n“Daria?”\n“Yes, Tom?”\n“You don’t have to be a stranger.”\nShe gave him a small smile that made him feel ten years younger and he smiled back, half-lost in memories.\n“I’ll see you around, Tom. Thanks for the ride,” she said, thinking of the last time she’d said those words.\n\nInside, she found her parents were still asleep, so she got on the internet to check her email before making breakfast. In her mailbox was a Facebook message telling her about an update on a friend’s page. Since the only updates she received were from Jane, she signed in immediately.\nJane’s status had been changed. It now read:\n[i:duuwzj41]Jane Lane is currently enroute back to the US of A headed for a hospital due to a combination of appendicitis and the aftereffects of an IED.

When and how did this tradition begin?\n\nEdward J. Blum: It began even before the United States became the United States, during the slave trade. Throughout slavery, African-Americans used the Bible to challenge their enslavement. Olaudah Equiano, a slave who was later freed, wrote a narrative juxtaposing the Christianity of the slaveholders vs. his own Christianity. Frederick Douglass said he hated the Christianity of whites but loved the Christianity of Christ. As Africans became Americans and embraced Christianity, they continued to turn the teachings of Jesus against whites.\n\nNEWSWEEK: But we\'ve obviously come far since the days of Frederick Douglass. [b:2cthebii]Is it still appropriate or effective for African-American pastors to condemn America with such harsh rhetoric?[/b:2cthebii]\n\nEdward J. Blum: Well, it\'s important to make a distinction between prophets and politicians. [b:2cthebii]Rev. Wright doesn\'t want to be a politician, he wants to be a prophet, and prophets always border on treason and heresy. Their social function is to push the envelope, to speak the unspeakable.[/b:2cthebii] Politicians like Obama, however, have a different set of tasks. Their job is to bring unity among diversity. For Obama it would be inappropriate to say &quot;God damn America,&quot; but not for Rev. Wright.\n\nNEWSWEEK: How do you think Obama handled this controversy in his speech on Tuesday?\n\nEdward J. Blum: He handled it beautifully, [b:2cthebii]because he refused to repudiate Wright completely. He held on to the notion that [Wright] was a strong influence in his life, while repudiating specific words. Obama, who is savvy about hating the sin and loving the sinner, continues to see Wright as more than just those words.[/b:2cthebii] And let\'s not forget that the notion of God judging America doesn\'t just come from African-American churches or from the left. We heard it from Billy Graham as far back as the 1960s, and more recently from [one right-wing religious group] who would go to soldiers\' funerals and say that the war was happening because of homosexuality and that God is judging America. It comes from different places for different reasons.[/quote:2cthebii]\n\n\n\n[quote=&quot;HolyGrail2007&quot;:2cthebii]Health care may be &quot;designed&quot; to help, but that doesn\'t mean it will work, don\'t assume that it will or that it\'s some miracle godsend. It\'s going to drive up premium costs to pay for the procedures companies will be required to cover (since that\'s where the revenue comes in), and it will end up driving companies out of business with ridiculous amounts of taxation and legislation in addition to paying for all those costs, and hospitals since they\'ll be covering a lot more procedures. Quality suffers when employees are overworked. [b:2cthebii]And those of us, particularly those of us who are healthy and either refuse to purchase insurance or (like me) have a high deductible to get a lower price are going to be the ones who suffer the most when it comes to price. Between gas prices and this, it\'s becoming expensive to be an American.[/b:2cthebii][/quote:2cthebii]\n\n\n[img:2cthebii]http&#58;//www&#46;gomotes&#46;com/emoticon/facepalm&#46;gif[/img:2cthebii]\n\nI sympathize with you, for your difficulties in being an American citizen. \n\n\n[quote=&quot;HolyGrail2007&quot;:2cthebii]Why bring up Shirley Sherrod?

Like &quot;the flushing of the Koran.&quot;[/quote:2cthebii]\n\n[b:2cthebii]Right.[/b:2cthebii] \n\nTwo different slants altogether. Breibart\'s creative editing, in order to take a story of personal change and triumph by a person who could have fallen deep into racism because of her background, but chose not to take that route, was beautifully utilized... \n\nBreibart\'s story was like a \'three-way\' explosive detonator. The analogy goes like this: a \'three-way\' is an explosive charge set with a trip-wire. However, it is also set with a pressure switch beneath the charge so that if a demo specialist disarms the tripwire and then goes in to recover the charge... BOOM.\n\nThat story was a \'three-way\' in that its primary purpose was to strike at the NAACP and paint them as racist, in response to their calling the Tea Party movement such earlier. However, because of the knee-jerk response of the NAACP and the White House to disassociate themselves from \'a racist\' before the reactionary right could pound them for it (and they [b:2cthebii]would have[/b:2cthebii], were the story accurate), they scored an equally damaging effect in that those same fronts were still smeared when it came out that the woman was an innocent victim. The fear engendered by the activities of right-leaning media has the left so damned spooked that they jumped without thinking, destroying an innocent and showing themselves capable of the same damage as the Right.\n\n[i:2cthebii]Cui bono[/i:2cthebii]: in either outcome, the damage to left-leaning/oriented organizations benefits the Right. I bring it up because it\'s once again typical GOP operational procedure; take those things that they have been accused of (or actually indulge in) and foist those accusations upon others, regardless of if they\'re true or not.\n \n\n[quote=&quot;HolyGrail2007&quot;:2cthebii]As for Governor Walker, I\'m glad he had the balls to stand up to the union machine. Thanks to union contracts, you have bus drivers making over $100,000 a year, with all the benefits, time off, and the like that public workers get. Someone had to do it.
