> > > Actually why didn't he think of changing his name? Ã‚Â Really it isÃ‚Â like walking around every day being named Fredrich Hitler. Ã‚Â People will make assumptions about you, spit in your face, maybe even assault you before you have a chance to speak.
> > I guess he feels an obligation to his deceased war-hero father and his died-of-heartbreak mother to stay true to his heritage.
> Ironically his died-of-heartbreak mother would probably have wanted him to change his name and make something of himself separate from his old name.

Since his parents made no attempt to dissociate themselves from the name why should Tom? It's not as if the Legion wouldn't see through any name change in a second. They'd just interpret it as another attempt at deception on his part.

> Of course now it seems he'll relive his legacy another way.

Possibly.

> > > The dark energy thing doesn't sound good, though.
> > Not especially, no. Somewhere in Paradopolis Chiaki just got an unaccountable headache.
> Liu Xi, you mean? Ã‚Â Green Kaos energy sounds Chinese. Ã‚Â Lara Night may get a headache too if she's anywhere nearby.

I was thinking Chiaki, given her possible ability to know when trouble is coming.

> Besides, Chiaki doesn't get headaches. Ã‚Â She just mysteriously shows up during his date with Asil to deliver a threat. Ã‚Â Except unlike the others threat Tom received, he'll clearly see in her eyes that she means it, and she's perfectly willing to kill him if she deems it necessary.

I don't think it's yet possible to pinpoint the source of the disturbance in the force. There's a widespread unfocussed disruption over the city.

  - That's what AG said. He still hasn't clarified whether he meant the events, the story, or both. · HH notes he's never seen Scott and Chris in the same room together. Or Nats and Gurl. · Tue Oct 09, 2007 at 12:35:25 pm EDT
    - I think we have been simultaneous on a couple of chat sessions, though. And you know what my typing is like. (no text) · Manga Shoggoth · Wed Oct 10, 2007 at 03:54:18 am EDT
      - Well, you would say that, Scott. Do you think we're blind? (no text) · HH · Sun Oct 14, 2007 at 07:38:08 am EDT
        
        I'm not Chris. I can prove it. I've never been to London. Just last year I first discovered you have a big ferris wheel. If I ... (no text) · Scott · Sun Oct 14, 2007 at 10:52:37 am EDT
        
        Whatever you say, Al. (no text) · HH · Wed Oct 17, 2007 at 03:38:54 pm EDT
      - Well if we were the same person, why would I ask myself to beta read my story, then come up with ideas for improvment I had never considered? LOL. (no text) · Scott · Thu Oct 11, 2007 at 09:32:22 pm EDT
        
        I have no idea what cunning tricks pro writers use to polish their product. (no text) · HH · Sun Oct 14, 2007 at 07:46:03 am EDT

- Good story, but why does it claim not to have any text in it? (no text) · Rhiannon · Mon Oct 08, 2007 at 04:38:03 pm EDT
  - Because my daughter complained about not being able to post her story and I had to rush doing this to attend to her. (no text) · HH · Mon Oct 08, 2007 at 04:43:12 pm EDT
    - Well that's hardly my fault. I never asked the Parodyverse Board to keep trying to kill my story. · Rhiannon · Mon Oct 08, 2007 at 05:12:11 pm EDT
      - Maybe you're misjudging the poor chap? · HH · Mon Oct 08, 2007 at 06:34:01 pm EDT
        
        Maybe, or maybe not. · Rhiannon · Thu Oct 11, 2007 at 04:59:55 pm EDT
        
        Well, perhaps I'd better post another chapter then. · HH · Sun Oct 14, 2007 at 07:57:14 am EDT
