Thanks Shep, I appreciate it. By the time I posted that one I'd reread it so many times I couldn't tell if it was funny or not.

Li and Virgil-- the longest running one-sided conversation in the history of the Successor States.

I think I'll have something to post tonight.. I'll see if I have the time to squeeze something in. Also good stuff Spokey!!

[Thom Frankfurt]

Damnit, didn't get around to posting on here... War Orphan's post ate up more time than I thought it would... Will try again tonight.

[Thom Frankfurt]

Part one of the Schengen post is up. I left it kind of vague so everyone willing to get in on this can. And I hope things aren't too horrible, but I'll fix anything you have probs with, Rogue. Oh yeah... Chongo!

Vulpes Enterprises. Awesome ^^
Sounds like you largely ended the fight in one post - were you not looking to involve the others?

Unconcerned with the drunken friends cries of 'Chongo!?' or the cries of the 'Pride's technicians of 'ONE ON ONE!!,' Thom launched himself into attack mode.

Oblivious to the sounds of booted feet speeding to his location or the shouts of warning, Thom raised an elbow and brought it crashing down like a pile driver into Chongo's bloody face.

But the results of the blow were lost upon Thom as his body was overcome with several hundred thousand volts of electricity being pumped into his body from a stun gun wielding Lyran. Darkness overtook him.

Chongo and Thom's fight may be over, but it seems that Chongo's drunken lackeys are meaning to 'put the boots to Thom' while he's stunned. (ha ha) Still gives everyone a chance to join in with the damned good reason of not wanting to watch their employer get stomped to death before their eyes. I could always end up posting from Vasco's POV...

We're coming Thom, I just may need a day or two to figure out how I want to do this.

[Listless Nomad]

I'll I can do is offer to launch wheeler from the airlock and hope some molecules of matter make it through the atmosphere and impact chongo, perhaps giving him cancer later in life.

Wheeler stayed up on the Drunkard?

[Sparks Murphey]

Wheeler's having girl time.

So Rogue had finally managed to hunt me down and guilt me into accepting my responsibilities. Should be interesting to read. Hoping to run into Andrew in the fight Thom brought over, decided not to start getting involved in the fight until Thom gives the go-ahead, but I figured this complete lack of thinking things through for Juri would be interesting way to open up some dialog hooks for you guys.

Also hope my writing hasnt gone to heck with my hiatus lol

Nice post mac - I liked it a lot. Be interesting to explore the dynamic between Juri and Wheeler. Unfortunately, the allure of an XX chromosome, and the lack of needing anything on Coventry kept Wheeler on board the Drunkard's Walk. Therefore, I can't participate in the fight.

[MacabreDerek]

What were you thinking? You could have had the opportunity to get shot by a morphine tripping drac!

Still, would love to have that conversation, any thoughts on the direction or interesting dialog exchanges to work towards?

[Sparks Murphey]

Fine. If I'm not invited to your brawl, I'll start my own! With blackjack, and romance!

[Thom Frankfurt]

There's still time to shoehorn yourself into the thick of it...

EDIT: typed that before reading your post. Great stuff like usual, Sparky.

"We've got to go now!" Adrianna shouted.

The captain of the Rorke's Drift looked at her skeptically, chewing his bubble gum. "And can you explain why that is again?"

"Thom is in danger! He's in a brawl, on the ground and bleeding, and needs his team to come save him! It'll be a great bonding experience, and here I am at the bloody jumppoint twiddling my thumbs! You need to detach from the Drunkard and burn as hard as you can. With any luck, we'll make it before he bleeds out."

The captain looked at his first officer, who just shrugged. The captain turned back. "No."

Yeah, I can't see a way of shoehorning it in, I'm afraid.

Aftermath is your friend

Hey I didn't know you were up at the jump point. Timestamps Sparky....

What was the man thinking? To casually disregard her in such a manner. Petra stormed from the hall, her eye brimming with red hot tears. She took a moment to compose herself; Lord von Rannoch was due to arrive shortly, and if word reached Kara's ears about Petra being seen in such a state, her hopes for winning the heart of the Baron were lost.

What she really needed was a distraction. Fortunately, she carried a book on her at all times. It might be a little far-fetched, and overly focussed on explosions, but reading about the adventures of Adrianna Delfino and her battles against the evil Clans would surely pull her together...

Adrianna carefully closed Perchance to Command, set it down, and stepped away. "Hello?" she asked, eyes darting around the room, more than a little spooked, "Is anyone there?"
