Previously, at Can I give a big gasp now?:




A sure sign that I've been writing these too long and readers have been reading them too long!




Indeed.




Aella's fifteen and H9 in probably eighteen or nineteen by now, but that hasn't previously daunted him with Lindy Wilson, I suppose.




Sometimes it is all too much for an archvillain.




Defeated? This is merely a setback. All will bend to his will and his triumph shall be absolute! Possibly in UT#360.




Well, HV goes on to other, even less successful plots in Heart of Darkness. The Apostate has once again been spanked and thrown out of the Parodyverse. Wilbur... it's hard to come back from Knifey when he means it.




Where else is the Heart of Stories of the Parodyverse, if not at the Lair Mansion? Where do more stories start or end? It's not at some swamp in Florida or a cave on the conceptual plane.

Runner-up venues in order are: Herringcarp Asylum, the Lighthouse, the Bean and Donut Coffee Shop, the Firehouse.




The Dreaming Celestian cheats in as much as he refuses to speak with mere fictioal constructs and therefore will not participate in banter.







He didn't. He got through with Knifey.




You already made mention of him in this very reply.




No. Denial has his own problems next time.




Thanks. I'm about to start the next one in a cup of coffee's time. And I may need the 2001 soundtrack.




Also appropriate.







The Unstoppable Beaver Girl!







A Nexus has needs.




Well, maybe in Urban Druid.




Possibly requires a different kind of message board. And we know that the third sister's child might have been Starseed's or Dirth Vortex's if not that of the actual Herper father.

So clearly it was a complicated night.







Noted







I see now it is wholly written. Well done.







Oops. Yeah, you'll notice there were few gender-specific personal pronouns in that entire scene in UT#354. I did that specifically to obscure the big reveal that Kyza was female. Then I managed a one-letter typo on the one big-reveal word, ascribing her as "he" and therefore wrecking the whole payoff. Then I evidently went back and proofread the scene later, forgot that I'd meant Kyza to be female, and added in two more male pronouns earlier in the scene to properly wreck the intention.

I have now restored the scene to its full feminine glory, although it still doesn't really survive the Bechdel test.







Well, Kinki appears to be shaping her second child for some specific plot that requires an archscientist, so once the Harper siblings have culled themselves down to an acceptable number that can begin.







In any case, while the animal was in the box, it's pretty certain that Lisa's tom got in there and got it with kittens.







And who killed Bambi's mother?




It's how he would have wanted to go.







Some things are best left untold. Not that that seems to stop me.







And there were ghouls.







They are all in #360.










I'm going to have a go today if time allows.







Then how would people know I wasn't just making this stuff up?
