  1. [quote name='Sandy']Oops, I don't know if I just read Darren's post lazily or did he add something to the end, but there's a bit of continuity problem in our posts. Well, let's just say that Delilah's trip down the Memory Lane took place before the gunshots... XP[/quote] [FONT=Arial]We're thinkin' the same thing, buddy. (About the shots, not Darren.) Actually, I felt that you jumped into Delilah's memory during Mary's flight, which is why I timed the [B]second shot[/B] where I did. I tried to get [B]Delilah's screams[/B] and [B]Oromis's shouts[/B] in, too, but I think it's safe to say we don't have anything to worry about. [center][size=+2](^_^)[/size][/center][/FONT]
  2. [FONT=Arial][indent][align=justify]Instead, she did the next thing that crossed her mind. She hurled herself at Mary?s assailant. The woman?s second shot went wide, shattering a porcelain vase on a nearby stand. [B]?How dare you!!?[/B] the woman cried furiously. She threw Delilah off, the rifle?s barrel connecting solidly with the side of the dancer?s head. Delilah crashed into another Corinthian stand behind her, the top of it striking her in her lower vertebrae; her head cracked against the wall, and Delilah crumpled to the floor, facedown. There was a third gunshot, and she screamed in pain as the bullet tore through her left shoulder, missing the bone by a hair?s breadth. A red haze filled her vision; she was conscious of something warm and sticky running down her face. She thought she heard Oromis calling for Etamet to help him, but the throbbing of her shoulder drowned out his words, and she slipped slowly into the welcome numbness of the dark.[/align][/indent][/FONT]
  3. [FONT=Arial]Our heads turned in collective stupor at the sound of the emotionally spastic voice. In front of us was a new kid, who had obviously just moved into the Boards. [I]-How the devil did they get in here?[/I] I thought. [I]-Is Ploppy slipping up?[/I] I snuck a glance at G.A. He already looked like he was about to pop, and I was growing ever wary of that one straw that might soon break our eminent gorilla's back. Stepping forward, I clapped him on the shoulder. [B]"I'll handle this 'un, boss. You go ... sleep ... or something."[/B] God knew he needed it. Especially the something. I turned my attention to the newcomer. [B]"Right, then,"[/B] I said amicably. [B]"First, welcome. We're always glad to have new members among our number, and I'm pretty sure you'll have fun while you're here. I did, and I still am. "Second, no this isn't about Iraq. It isn't actually even real. Hence the whole cyborg get-up."[/B] I made a silly face. Throwing an arm about their shoulder, I began leading them out of Headquarters. [B]"If you're looking to talk about stuff like that, you'll want to head for the Lounge, which is about three or so blocks North of here, in the general Community."[/B] I gestured with my free arm to indicate the direction. [B]"Of course, you'll get a pretty good sense of about where everything is by just lookin' around for a while...."[/B][/FONT]
  4. [FONT=Arial]Right, so my shipment came in this afternoon while I was sleeping, and now I can do stuff. I'll be chipping in here shortly. I want to try to keep going with Delilah; it might take a while, since I'm finding her to be a tough head to get inside. Here goes. [B]Edit:[/B] Well, I'm an idiot. I already posted from Delilah's sight once. Silly me.[/FONT]
  5. [FONT=Arial]Pardon me for possibly, you know, overreacting, or sommat like that, but, umm.... [QUOTE=Tetra of sound]Choice 2 - pain is better than backwards. Would you rather: 1. Be with pervy sage and be a hot women inside a closet. OR 2. Be a three - eyed furby with 2 noses and no way to poop. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! :triforce: :triforce:[/QUOTE] [I]Do What?!![/I] Man, you have indeed hit upon the essence of Random itself. I salute you. I also take the first one. I believe that life without a waste disposal organ/orifice would eventually be very painful. On a note of just simple normalcy, would you rather have your bedroom: [center]...partway underground, painted the darkest shade of navy-blue possible, with white trim just so you can see occasionally? OR ...upstairs, high off the ground with a nice view of your backyard, and painted lime-green with purple trim?[/center] Maybe I'll come up with something crazy later.[/FONT]
  6. [FONT=Arial][B]Method Number Next:[/B] Don't Give a Flying Monkey's Arse While not exactly a discipline for those who aspire to fame, this method will ensure that you remain unaffected by wherever you end up in the hierarchy of the internet. It's almost the same as Method Three, but with more [I]"meh,"[/I] involved. Those who follow this method strictly will probably never even be aware that such a hierarchy exists, and so it is perfect for them. [I]Your Mentors:[/I] How the devil should I know?[/FONT]
  7. [quote name='ChibiHorsewoman][color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]I'll have to tell my friend who helped translate this phrase that Quebec French is basically universal.[/font'][/color][/quote] [FONT=Arial]Actually, it's more along the lines of "I'm just that awesome".[/B.S.][/FONT]
  8. [FONT=Arial]Actually, I was considering covering the Death Card series as well (Death Note puns, anyone?), though I had a little something different in mind. OB Idol 2 glanced off of both Labyrinth and Mafia, so the initial Death "Note" game has already been covered, if somewhat cursorily. I was thinking that if the news article began with a mention of [COLOR=DarkRed]Sandy[/COLOR]'s starter, touched on the franchise, and then covered the latest installment, it might flow better. Also, as far as the Otakupedia article goes (which I [I]so[/I] have dibs on, unless...), a similar treatment would work, starting with [COLOR=DarkRed]Sandy[/COLOR]'s and devoting a paragraph or two or three to each of its successors, finishing with the series in general, and leaving it as an article in progress, since there are others in the franchise's future. Individual material could be easily swapped with the broad coverage, depending on which way looks better; and of course the contributor would [I]have[/I] to make a direct comment on the fact that successive games are being planned. (Captain Obvious, here, just stating the obvious. Like I do. Since, you know, my superpower is that I state the obvious, and all.) Right.[/FONT]
  9. [FONT=Arial]My time online has been severely limited lately. I apologize for being so long absent, but it was kind of unavoidable. See, I'm having some issues with ... umm ... with ummm .... Okay, fine. I've been dead. Literally. Dead. And on top of that, I'm having to work massive quantities of overtime and work on scholarship crap, and it's really tough to get anything done while you're dead. I mean, dammit, I completely ran out of Phoenix Down last week, and the next shipment I get isn't until about Friday or so, so I probably won't be alive for long enough to post until then. :animeangr Seriously, guys. Don't die. Death sucks. Balls. (Pardon my French. I hate being dead. I don't know how [COLOR=indigo]Dead[/COLOR] does it....)[/FONT]
  10. [FONT=Arial]Hunh. [COLOR=DarkRed]Boss[/COLOR], I see that you also sport the insignia of terror, and that while you make a frikkin' intimidating Hitman, your pistols are a little on the large side; are you compensating? From your title, I see that either you are the shiznit or you're absolutely full of it. Or both. Or bits and pieces of the two. :D And you seem to be utilitarian with your avatars. [COLOR=DarkRed]ChibiHorsewoman[/COLOR], Ireland rocks, and it might be contagious after all, which isn't so bad; Gaelic is one of my better accents. Oh, and we obviously don't share the same taste in television.[/FONT]
  11. [quote name='AJeh][size=1']Dont be silly. Brad Pitt is like the ultimate human male.[/size][/quote] [FONT=Arial]You're joking, right? I can think of two that trump him easily. [center][U]Un:[/U] [IMG]http://kidskornerfamilydaycare.com/mr-rogers.jpg[/IMG] and [U]Deux:[/U] [IMG]http://cache.eb.com/eb/image?id=66150&rendTypeId=4[/IMG][/center] I mean, come on.[/FONT]
  12. [FONT=Arial]"Hey Mac! Got another one for the defrost unit!"[/FONT]
  13. [FONT=Arial]I coughed pointedly. [B]"Yes; quite."[/B] The G.A.'s state bothered me a little. He genuinely seemed to be trying to focus on our little tribunal, but his mind was obviously elsewhere, and his face showed faint traces of shock, horror, and uncertain relief. Curiously, the character Ebenezer Scrooge came to mind. I wondered why.... [B]"Thank you, Ploppy, for your input,"[/B] I began again. [B]"Actually, I'd also pegged Platypus as number Two, though I think we can dismiss him as our plant. "Neither he nor Japan have taken action against the terrorists wallpaper graffiti; of course, neither have I, but then I am no artist. Japan also failed to assist us in our hentai war, while Platypus pulled some very nice shots at our enemy, and even used one of their own weapons against them. It occurs to me that if indeed he is our plant, he would have endeavored to be a trifle more ambiguous with his tactics. Please, contradict me if I am wrong,"[/B] I requested. [B]"Also, notice the entire statement that Platypus gave to the fifth question:"[/B] [QUOTE][I]Did I? I thought I was randomly forced into the Counter-Terrorist Unit (and the RPG, mind you) just because I replied to the sign-up topic.[/I][/QUOTE] [B]" 'Forced' is indeed a questionable word to have used there, when 'assigned' might have been more appropriate. Remember, though, that Japan was also told to join us; she never mentioned by whom. Also, her comment applied to a time before these incidents even started, and Platypus's statment at least indicated he had a prior measure of interest. "I agree that Platypus's answers to the first string of questions are ... well, questionable. But look:"[/B] [QUOTE][I]Bunnies are scary but bombs are better.[/I][/QUOTE] [B]"Both Mother and Platypus responded to the corresponding question with the sentiment that bunnies aren't really weapons. And before anyone can say I contradict myself, Mother is not using a bunny so much as a weapon as she is a distraction and deterrent. She wishes to completely diffuse the situation, not escalate it with violence. Platypus shows that he is willing to fight, but that 'bunnies are dead cool', apparently making them too good to use as weaponry."[/B] I made a silly face. [B]"He disdained the bomb because it is too impractical, and he mentioned that it would require prior set-up. Perhaps that is also suspect. Perhaps not. "Japan's response, though, indicated that she might consider using bunnies because 'they are scary'. Think about that. Isn't 'scary' the point of terrorism? Weren't those nipples rather scary?"[/B] A collective shudder passed through the room. Even Ploppy's cameras seemed to quiver. Amusing.... [B]"I thought so. Ordinarily, nipples would not be considered as weapons either, but in that case...."[/B] I let the thought die there. There was no need to dwell on that horrific image any longer. [B]"The rest of Japan's answers make me feel edgy as well, but one in particular stands out to me:"[/B] [QUOTE][I]The answer to that question depends on the situation. Yes I love to be clean, however, I do like rolling in the mud every now and then and making heavy messes with shaving cream and whipped cream...mmm, terror. Besides my messy yet creative personality, I do have my moments where I absolutely HATE being dity so I have to take a shower...but if no shower is available, a lake with suffice.[/I][/QUOTE] [B]"Here; let me zoom in a little:"[/B] [QUOTE][I]...however, I do like rolling in the mud every now and then and making heavy messes with shaving cream and whipped cream...[B]mmm, terror.[/B][/I][/QUOTE] [B]"I beg your pardon? The suspects were told to answer the questions both honestly and in character, correct? Then what, may I ask, could have prompted this answer? Facetiousness would be ill-served here, especially if she were innocent. "I have a few other items I wish to bring forward. Oh, and Ploppy? I apologize for this in advance, but it is necessary."[/B] I accessed the dormant program I'd had sitting in the back of my consciousness since I'd prepped it before this inquiry began. It was a simple hack program, essentially, intended for our surveillance system, but I'd known Ploppy's defense protocols were nigh-impeccable, and doubly so given the recent intrusions, so I'd been very meticulous with it this time. The program activated, and I had remote access within milliseconds. I kept it for later use. [B]"If I may recall us to when we first arrived, our initial objective was to come up with amusing names for ourselves. Even our leader admitted openly that Japan's name was a failure in that regard, and she made no effort to rectify the situation."[/B] I dimmed the lights and cut on the large viewscreen behind the G.A.'s desk. Various shots of Japan flicked across it's silver surface, changing as fast as I could watch and filter them myself. (I disregarded any videos linked from the restroom area; it would have been ungentlemanly and rather rude to show such possibly private affairs.) [B]"So far, the only thing Japan has done for the CTU was to nominate Mother as our spokesperson, and even that move was questionable; no offense, ma'am,"[/B] I added hurriedly. [B]"I know that you might still have been selected, even if Japan hadn't suggested you, and I do not know that I would have voted otherwise. It was why I stayed out of the process; I know your predisposition to think the best of everyone, and so I thought that to place you as the final word would have been an unfair demand of you; but I could honestly arrive at no other outcome. And even now, you have yourself relinquished the burden of the verdict back to us. You will now only serve to make the decision official. "Other than to make the aforementioned request public, Japan has been sedately reading and consuming copious quantities of cookies. At the beginning of the suitcase bomb incident, she even left. Just left. Not even Ploppy the Spaceship knows where she went then."[/B] I shut off the screen. [B]"Now, if you will allow me the indulgence...."[/B] The intercom came to life with Japan's voice.[/FONT] [COLOR=DarkRed][B]Why did they kill one of their own? But then again, he was an idiot. Not worth anyone's time and was very annoying at that. He failed at everything he tried! Now if only they will get rid of all those other slackers too.[/B][/COLOR] [FONT=Arial]I frowned. [B]"Please don't bother quoting George Orwell to me. Trust me, I already know. "Japan's voice indicates that she is obviously disgusted with the slaughter of our former enemy Premonition, who was killed for coming to his senses. Combine that with her rationalization for his murder, and her desire that the terrorists should dispose of their 'other slackers', and it begins to seem that she rather wishes them well. I ask you, even if Premonition was aggravating, did any other of you wish him dead also? I sincerely doubt it."[/B] I replaced my sunglasses, with which I had been gesticulating during my overlong speech. Returning to my seat, I left behind one last thought as I returned control of the facility's systems to Ploppy. [B]"Perhaps I should also mention that Japan still flaunts a banner that proclaims her as vice-president of the Charles fan club?"[/B][/FONT]
  14. [quote name='BKstyles][font=tahoma']Granted my son. Now stand back and witness for yourself the miracles of your crops. That stamp thing...I can't help you with.[/font][/quote] [FONT=Arial]That's wonderful news. Spongebob can burn in Hell.[/FONT] (^_^)

[/FONT]
  16. [FONT=Arial]After a bit of thought, I believe that [I]"Antissa"[/I], by E.S. Posthumus, pretty well pins me down. It is a paradoxical song, built on action and serenity, the modern and the ancient, and it is one of the few songs that can make me simply smile, instead of grin. Try it sometime. You might like the feeling.[/FONT]
  17. [FONT=Arial][B]"Maybe if we knew their identities?"[/B] From the side of the room, I cleared my throat. [B]"Perhaps,"[/B] I acceded, examining my knees absently. I let the air carry my words over the room; shouting would only injure my voice, and the current atmosphere was already tense enough without adding to it. [B]"But then, would it not be the same as if our traitor was jumping around in front of us, waving their arms?[/B] I stood smoothly, as if a gust of passing air had brushed me to my feet. [B]"Our traitor is not going to make it easy to find them,"[/B] I continued. [B]"Their purpose is to remain here and thwart us from behind, an activity that goes much more smoothly if we don't know who they are. So we are left with examining the statements provided us.[/B] [B]"However,"[/B] I added, [B]"I feel that these statements are enough. It is safe to assume that the third suspect is the terrorist. This is an all too easy conclusion, so we must take it further. Our task was not so much to determine which suspect was the terrorist, but who the suspect is. If I may refer us to our mission dossiers, it was stated that the names of our suspects would not be revealed in any particular order, so even if we knew their names, we would still have to match them up. "In that event, it would seem that the easiest course of action would be to identify the two loyal suspects. I propose, though, that such an action is a waste of time. And since the only other option would be to identify the terrorist directly, why not do it now? The only difference is that our name pool is bigger."[/B] I sensed the restlessness and skepticism of my audience. It wasn't entirely unexpected; I was used to feeling like Holmes when I decided to start speaking. And so I threw my card. [B]"I am convinced that the answer is staring us right in the face. If you all wish, I can show you what I see. The proof is naturally insubstantial by itself, but taken together it should make a clear connection."[/B] I removed my sunglasses, letting my grey eyes drift over the room, settling at last on my accused. [B]"Let us look to Japan."[/B][/FONT]
  18. [FONT=Arial]Host deaths do not count. You lose. (^_^)[/FONT]
  19. [FONT=Arial]Oh. Okay. I did check anyway, and he made it with exactly thirty minutes to spare. So that's a relief.[/FONT]
  20. [quote name='2007DigitalBoy][COLOR=DarkRed'] Poor Darren - he said he'd be ready by the 12 hour cutoff but even with an extra 2 hours it looks like he couldn't make it. Darren's card has been nullified. The next chapter will be put into production immediately.[/COLOR][/quote] [FONT=Arial]Oh, wow. Sorry, Darren. That was pretty well-done, too. Man. That bites. Does that mean his entire post is scrap now, or will Etamet just destabilize?[/FONT]
  21. [quote name='2007DigitalBoy][COLOR=DarkOrange]KotZ was invented in 04. [B]Saint Seiya [/B] is an old anime, but KotZ, as the dub is known, is an entirely different show. The script is 100% different, the story is different, and the 80s anime theme kicks even more *** than the [B]I Ran [/B'] cover. (Not to say I don't like I Ran)[/COLOR][/quote] [FONT=Arial]Wouldn't that be [I]re[/I]-invented? And wasn't it different because a lot of the original content was basically slashed? (Stupid censors. People need to read [I][U]Fahrenheit 451[/U][/I].)[/FONT]
  22. [quote name='2007DigitalBoy][COLOR=DarkOrange']Admittedly, that guy in the banner is mildly creepy looking, but the rest makes up for it![/COLOR][/quote] [FONT=Arial][I]Stop making fun of my face!![/I] I can't help it my wave doesn't set in for a half-hour after I shower. :( [/FONT]

  24. [FONT=Arial]Umm, yeah. [I]You[/I] have died fifteen times. Actually, make that eighteen now. I haven't tallied any kills, yet. Perhaps I should....[/FONT]
  25. [FONT=Arial]Ya know, I was feeling a little bored, so I went back in the thread and did some quick tallying. Quite interesting, if I do say so myself. (And I do say so myself.) [indent][U]Death Count:[/U] SunfallE: 15 Rachmaninoff: 6 All others: 0 (yay for goose eggs)[/indent] Seems to be one very suicidal marriage there, mostly due to laughter.
