> > OK, I'm struggling to write that story I mentioned a while back. I have a few ideas that I'd like to free from my flu-riddled brain, but I'm SO out of the loop on P-verse continuity I'm feeling a little Jurgensy about just slapping a cast together.

> Okay. Not sure I totally understand the meaning of "Jurgensy", but so long as it's not contagious I can try and help.

Jurgensy: Adj (JUR-gens-ee) To act in a Jurgens-like manner and write a flawed story with inept characterisation and no respect or acknowledgement of previous continuity. See also "Making shit up."

> >
> > For example...is the Lair Mansion still around?
>
> Yes indeed. Maybe in need of a few repairs after the last Untold Tales, but it was still standing and in use, so it's really no worse than any time Gromm the Living Flatulence explosively combusted there during an attack.

> > Who lives there?
>
> Hmmmm... This might be tougher. Actually *lives* there?
>
> Hallie and Flapjack are safe bets.
> Mumphrey and his grand-daughter Samantha were as of the last Untold Tales, but the epilog to come might change that (Things are kind of in a transition phase, I think).
> Hatman seems to room there, and CSFB! has a room with his wife April, and the rest of his family is often there as well.
>
> Dancer lives above the Bean and Donut Coffee shop that she works at, but is around the Mansion enough to almost live there.
> Most of Jason's characters are around (Liu Xi, Yuki, Lara) although I'm not sure who officially lives there.
> Mr. Epitome and Glory have a room there, I think, although they're building a cabin for him and his girlfriend, Katarina to live in.
> Al B. Harper has a cabin of his own, but he's almost always in either the Lair's labs or the labs at Extraordinary Endeavor Enterprises.
> The Librarian lives on the moon, but might have a room at the mansion too.
> Lisa's gone cosmic now, so she lives wherever the Destroyer of Tales calls home.
> ManMan has come back to the team, but I'm not sure where he stays. I may be forgetting some...
>

This is gold, Adam. Thank you!

> Vizh now lives in a lighthouse just down the beach from Lair Mansion. Usually staying there are his kids Maggie and Griffin, his ward Kerry Shepherdson, and often his alien former sex-slave mother of his children Miiri. And Hallie's pretty much wired into that building as well.

Even better.

> > Where does Xander choose to operate from?
>
> Well, as of the last Untold Tales, Xander had disappeared from the Parodyverse. However, if you're not looking to tie into current continuity too closely you can probably ignore that. He regularly operates out of a plumbing and clock repair shop downtown, as I recall.


Ok, I'm gonna need a mystical go-to guy...maybe Mumph and the Shoggoth will do for now.

Is that you, Santa? Man...this flu medication is codeine-alicious.

> >
> > I've decided to make this a stand alone plot seperate from UT's and tie ins 'cause there's just too much homework involved and time's not on my side at the moment. However, I don't want to have a dead character suddenly drop in for coffee, either.

> The dead make fine guests for coffee. They usually take it black.

Careful what you wish for....


Thanks man. This is enough to get the ball rolling at least.
