> The Juniors have been taken to the Void Scholar’s limbo fortress where Fashion Accessory (Samantha Bonnington) is to become his bride and where Danny Lyle is being manipulated into breeding with Liu Xi Xian. It’s all over bar the monologues.

When starting to reply, I misread this as "the Void Scholar’s bimbo fortress". It's being that sort of day...

>     Ã¢â‚¬Å“Okay, I’ve decided,” FA told him. “I’ll take the molestation now.”

Actually, I can't think of a more insulting phrase.

>     Ã¢â‚¬Å“I was conceived at an astral conjunction that you set up over trillions of years,” FA cut in. “There’s these big Space Robot things called Celestians who pick up litter and stuff all round the Parodyverse and they seed planets with Deviates and Austernals to see what happens next for reasons nobody’s ever bothered to figure out till now. I got my powers because this astral event gig somehow triggered latent Deviate and Austernal genes in my parents and made me the awaited result of all those millions of experiment worlds, the perfect combo of Deviate matter-morphin’ and Austernal bootyliciousness. I thought it was just the Hooded Hood doing a retcon for his Sidekick Day plot but it turns out I was what the Parodyverse had been waiting for all along, which pretty much makes it all about me, as it should be.” She looked up at the Void Scholar. “What, I can;t be drop dead gorgeous and pay attention once in a while as well?”

She's obviously been paying more attention than me as I don'r recall reading about the astral conjunction...

>     Ã¢â‚¬Å“That’s… a very gross generalisation,” the ancient master of Comic-book Limbo answered.

Still shorter than his monologues, though...

>     There were all kinds of clever, defiant things Samantha Bonnington wanted to say to the Void Scholar. She just couldn’t think of any right now.

Be fair. She's said a fair few already.

>     The Void Scholar was happy to correct him. “Nobody else died because nobody else was on the planet at the time – except for my Space Fandoms, and of them I have unlimited numbers, drawn from all those souls who have fallen to Comic-Book Limbo over the eons. Think of the Fandoms as what the Hero Feeders excrete after they have devoured the last scrap of a life’s narrative.”

>     Ã¢â‚¬Å“Space Fandoms art crapped out by Hero Feeders,” Gaz noted. “I canst believe it.”

Eeewwww....

>     Behind him Danny’s screen continued to display images. Kerry Shepherdson stood confused and bruised, intercepted to Herringcarp Asylum, aided to her feet by the Hooded Hood. Hallie dropped the hologram of nuclear devastation that she had crafted over Paradopolis and Gothametropolis. Miss Framlicker in the Lair Mansion operations room pinpointed a tiny hole to the Void Scholar’s realm through which he had drawn Danny’s ring. Urthula Underess and Danny De Soth prepared soundings using Visionary’s lighthouse.

Good old Collapsing Plan Syndrome...

>     Visionary punched him on the nose.

Vish is getting a lot of these parts, isn't he?
