> >     Ã¢â‚¬Å“I could have had a future,” she berated Arnie J. Armbruster, sometimes-attorney-at-law. “I could have married a billionaire, or started a dot com, or gone on American Idol.”
> those are futures? Short sells, more like...

What-ifs.

> >     Cody had the gift of translating all languages. “It seemed to be a literal statement,” he judged, looking at Nats. “The dude really was hunting down a bit of wood.”
> It might be intersting to see what happens if he is exposed to Alko or its precedessors.

Interesting from a psychiatric viewpoint?

> >     Ã¢â‚¬Å“No, honestly. In nothing but a pair of Argyle golf socks, carrying nothing but his chequebook.”
> Not... Naah.

Nah nah nah.

> >     Ebony sighed. “Look, I’ve had a busy day trying to chase down some bloody Tenchi marquette on e-bay that involved me slipping back three weeks to get a Paypal account then going to the fourteenth century to prevent the vendor’s ancestor being burned by the Church of Conformity before he had kids. I don’t have time for major discussion. So I’ll just strip off the illusion hiding Turnwise’s true appearance and we’ll cut to the screaming.”
> Yup. That sounds about right. Some of the rarer stuff is a little more difficult to find.

Looking forward to the story to come.

Or Samantha Bonnington could create him one. She has been waiting in Hatman’s office for some time eager to intern and wishing to serve him in a range of capacities.”
> They never listen...

Where's the fun in that?

> >     Ã¢â‚¬Å“Some mysteries are good,” the Shoggoth argued. Then he sighed. “But tell humans not to go poking into something and they’re bound to investigate why. Go ahead. See Vincent De Soth. Chase down the taxis. Just don’t blame me when the world ends. Again.”
> Nope. They never listen...

Where's the fun in that for me?

> >     Sidney Fletcher was a hunter. He was a man with a mission. He stalked the mean streets of the urban jungle and his prey never escaped him. Well, not often.
> Out of interest, does he have the mustache?

Almost certainly. Possibly his grandfather's.

> Next Issue: Nats vs DiVito?
> Or is he DiVito?

DiVito?
