Hokay, sorry. I tend to get cranky when I wake up really early in the
morning and have no idea what is going on. (Translation: I was in a bad mood
when i wrote all that bad stuff. Sorry.) =) Friends? Or, at least, civil?

S'okay. See above translation.

I wanna write my own character!! 'Fter all, tis me!! =)

I forgive you. However, to be on the safe side, could I ask you (politely!)
to please not put anything in a way my certain mental reflexes will
retaliate before the rest of me is aware of what happened?

I'm sorry . . . I'm not an old person yet, I do not know how your midns work
I promise not to threaten you anymore. But does that mean I don't get to
hurt Ted adn the JQ cast? <pouts> Damn.
>>Poison? Oh yes, that reminds me. Paul, I don't know much about cyanide,

Like I said, sweetie, I don't know a thing 'bout cyanide. Anyhoo, how could
you do that to poor Kris?? She ate some, y'know.
Oh wait, am I missing the point again?
This doesn't make no sense.
I'm confused.
Yay.
How's everybody? (don't ask me why I'm doing this!)
And anyway, I'm 'fraid that I am not affected by the poison. Sorry to
dissapoint everybody!
>>I thought I told you--my glasses got knocked off, and I think I lost 'em

>That was after you went in the building, remember?
Cartoon physics. Straight-A student. Best in class. That includes time/scene
fading, and all that fun stuff. Anyway, I'm irr-however-you-spell-that-word.
>>Well, how do I join up? Jeeze, no, oh, waitaminute.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . . naw. I think I'll stay with being a Reality Jumper
and a (yes, I know you all won't believe me) a Princess. Thank you, thank
you. ;)

>What does DJ do/see in Charlotte, NC?
Lotsa things. Some of them are confidential, of which I have no idea if she
intends to carry them out. Otherwise, I have no information. =)
>What's the name of that sword? When will she figure out that it *really* is

Errrr, in a few years. DJ's fairly bright. I say, give her a while. SHe'll
find out--even if we have to hit her over the head with it.

Eeerrr, he won the lottery?

"Wait! Wait!" <picks up a pair of slightly scratched glasses> Here they are!
I'm happy now. =) Hokay, what now? Do we attack; go for the offensive, or
defensive, or maybe just poison their food/water supply and sit back and wait?
One last P.S./appology to Paul/everybody: I'm a bit strained. I'm fighting
two completely different wars at once; one on MU, the other in Atlanta. Give
me a couple of thousand years; I can sort it out, okay? =)
