wow im looking at the top 8 lists of the legacy tournament and none of the deck lists are threshold, goblins, and solidarity. There was even an elf-stax deck and a survival deck that looks similar to your sole survival deck Sakura with rootwallas except it looks more aggressive.
My SoleSurvivor.dec Kevie? Cool. That was a fun deck. I tend to be more of a Toolbox player than most.
Wait nevermind its a BG survival deck but it does have brasking rootwallas and several discard its a pretty nasty deck. I think your survival deck is better though because it has confinement and you can really exploit the enchantment in your survival deck. Your deck is better since it plays more then just aggro it plays aggro and control simultaneously.
Love,
Cecilia
Well it looks like the final standings for me at the 57 player legacy tournament is 23rd place out of 57 players after 6 rounds of swiss.
Well, after thinking a good long while about it, I've decided that I probably won't try to go to the service tomorrow. I have other, more personal ways to say goodbye. Plus, I've heard one of my friends is collecting photos of the guy to put into some kind of memorial thing. I'd like to see that when it's done. I'm just not sure I have the energy to drive 10 hours tomorrow to talk with mostly people I don't even know about my friend. I shared most of my experiences with my friends at WSU, and they'll certainly have a lot to fill me in on next time I go back up there. I'm leaning heavily towards your idea, Tanthalas.
Some good news for me: I found a re-released torrent for YesY's sub of Utawarerumono today, which means I can finally finish the series. Yatta! I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get their entire release once they pulled it from their site due to the series being licensed.
*sigh* I don't like poetry much. Sorry everyone. (I'm not saying I don't like anyones, I'm saying I'm not in a great [meaning I only like to read poetry when I'm in a really good] mood right now so I don't want to read them :slant:.)
I just finished the first piece of my star wars Fan Fiction. I found a site that has a very large community for it to post it on. The link is here, you can post comments on it here, or pm me. If anything I'd at least like to know if you read it.
EDIT: Yay, the first person who complimented me was a big name on the site :D.
Cecelia: I think you did very well for that tournement ;). I know I'd probably go 0-6 >.<
Who was the big name? I wanna know!
And for what? Are you feeling down or depressed? Aww, KK, we're here for ya! *huggles*
Also: I finally played Guitar Hero for the first time yesterday! It was SOOO much fun. And its coming out for the xbox360 on the 3rd of April :D. I hope I can get it.
Welcome "home" N_P :p.
Ooh ooh, who, who?? And Guitar Hero comes out on my birthday. Whoopee. I like it, but I'd need to get it to play at my house to get good at it.
The one benefit to having GH on the XBox? It'll be on a USB plug. Which means a PC fan-port (or a PC release) is on the way.
Thanks for the reply Alacar. I was a little disappointed that no one commented on my fan fiction for so long after I posted about it. A simple "Good for you KK, but I don't think I'll read it right now" would have even been better.
The two moderators who posted were the only people on the site who have commented so far. I've come to the conclusion that they're mods because they read everything. Most people on the site say that if its a persons first fan fic that doesn't use their favorite characters, they are less likely to read it. I like the site though because everyone who reads a piece of fiction usually responds. I like to know when people read my writing.

I'll bet you wish you had a non-unglued/unhinged card that shared your first name.

I thought it was pretty good as well just like your christian story. Your a pretty good writer koolkoal ive been impressed with your work so far. That'll be pretty cool if you ended up writing a novel about your christian story i bet it could be really good.
Sakura, Sakura-chan, Saki, or Saki-chan, as she prefers to be called, used to be Shin' on the forums. But recent changes in her life have made her take that name. That is her true name. And yes, she is a woman.
I wanted to get this issue right out in the front for everyone--even though you can't read 2 pages of the House without finding out (which is fine), just to clarify: Sakura is a transgender/transsexual. Don't be alarmed. All that means is that she has a male body, but a woman's mind set. A woman trapped in a man's body. She is undergoing the long, painful, and arduous adventure of becoming a woman in the eyes of the world. Please support her on her journey. And she isn't alone: Mamelon and Lilly (white_rabbit171) are both undergoing the same ordeal. We're all rooting for you three!
Alright, now that I'm off my soapbox, we can get back to the regularly scheduled RotW.
Sakura prefers to be called by her name because it's a Japanese name (very pretty), and the name of her favorite flower. She has supplied a picture:The Sakura flower is used to celebrate springtime and a time of celebration, change and rebirth, which is happening now for most of us, and especially Sakura.
Sakura joined MTGSalvation about 1 year ago; she really just wanted to find something to do at work. Nothing big; no Rumor Mills or spoilers lured her here. She visits two places, really: Her own clan, [Vogue], and the Coffeehouse.
Concerning Magic, Sakura's favorite card is that big freaking pile of NO, Orim's Chant. Currently she's playing a Reality Acid deck on MTGO, but she wants to get back into Vintage. She hates that the Vintage season conflicts with her D&D gaming. Incidentally, I find it awesome that you play D&D, Sakura.
When she's not bouncing everything in sight, Sakura is big on poetry. She's currently working on a big poetry project (here), and many of us in the Coffeehouse have submitted works. I hope you include mine, Saki-chan! She hopes to get it published someday. Let's hope! Also, she works on photoshop, and enjoys photography and reading. And she's a total mega-Street Fighter geek. Thepipesarebroken!! *uppercut*
About herself, she has some very important advice to all of us, especially one or two people I know (you know who you are):
Quote from ShinSakura »
I come off as very outgoing and confident, but that takes alot of effort. I am the same person in real life as I am here, but deep down I am scared and self conscious. I purposefully took jobs that put me out in front of everyone and made me open up and grow confidence. As an example, door to door sales. I realized if I was going to survive and have a chance at being happy I had to face my fears. I think this attitude is what ultimately is making my transition easier, I have learned that hiding just wastes your time and accomplishes nothing. I have my moments where I fall apart and cannot face the world, but I force myself through them. There is a very true addage; forcing yourself to smile can lead you to actually being happy. A possitive expression helps you feel more possitively. This is very similar. I become a stronger person daily through this.
I would've paraphrased that, but it's better straight from the Saki's mouth.
Also, she hopes to get that tall bombshell figure she's been dreaming of. Can't wait to see it, Saki-babe.
Keep an eye out for Sci-Fi Movie of the Week on the Coffeehouse by Sakura--it's a bit of a niche Weekly, but it has not disappointed me yet.
Regarding the Coffeehouse, Sakura loves it because it's chock-full of friendly people that know how to have a civil, continuous conversation. Never has the discussion ended, and it will never end! "I could not pick better friends than any of you." Aww, thanks, Sakura
She had this to say about the menu, which made me chuckle.
Quote from ShinSakura »
Wasabi Ice Cream
....
* ShinSakura realizes she is eating air
oh yeah, there is none.
* ShinSakura glowers at Alacar:mad:
I'll get right on that, babe.
She had these parting words for some of us Regulars:
Alacar : An absolute babe of a boy. Sweet and creative.
Mamelon : Put her second only so she wouldn't see herself first and worry some. She is tops on everyones list and I love her so much. She can always make me think and takes my mind in so many new directions. Having her here is a big part of where I got the strength to transition myself.
Photon : I love his blunt sarcasm and tricky wordplay. A man after my own lovingly cruel and cold heart.
Kevin : The first good friend I made in the house, the smile he gives me just to see him post is golden even when I do not read the post. I learned alot about Legacy from him, which in turn made me a better player overall.
Lilly : My little sister. I envy you so much. You are having such a hard time handling things, but still continue...and I envy you being able to do this so young. If I woke up one morning and the sun didn't rise but you were by my side, it would still be a beautiful day to me.
Aww, thanks for the kind words, Sakura! We're glad to have you here.
And that's it for this week's Regular, ShinSakura.
Geek Mp3
Coming soon. Wake Walking is down at the moment.
I'm sorry if I made anyone mad/sad with what I said earlier, but I was feeling some what ignored and that probably shouldn't happen on the coffeehouse.
Thanks Cecelia :), I think that if I did write my christian short story as a novel though, the ending would be too short compared to the massive amount of sad information I'd add before it.
Also, I added a link to my fan fic in my sig.
Mr. Stuff: (I should have commented on this earlier, but I'm naughty) I'm sorry for your loss. I've never lost a loved one before and for that I'm grateful.

Thanks to a_passer_by for the AWESOME banner!:jam:
Thank you for tuning in to the Magic Soap-operahouse. We hope you enjoyed last week's heartwarming original movie, "Not Without my Postcount", starring Jane Seymour, available for a limited time only on Lifetime DVD. Now, stay tuned for the conclusion to the drama!
Magic Soap-Operahouse
Exciting Tales of Intrigue and Romance
Last time, on Magic Soap-Operahouse...
Ethersphere: And then she shot me...
Tanthalas: That *****!
Crimson: Come on... it'll be like old times...
Omna: No, I can't, I'm in love with that priest I just met!
Crimson: We millionaire playboys only care about two things, and God isn't one of them, sister!
[They kiss]
Photon: And I see you brought your loving wife.
Alacar: Oh, you've met her before?
Photon: Indeed! At a party with some mutual acquaintances. She made a real "killing."
Snoopdogg: *whispers* You *****...
Arguas: Omna... how I pine for you... but my SOUL! Jesus, show me the light!
Tanthalas: He knows too much...
Photon: *on phone* Take care of it for me, then.
Tanthalas: Yes, sir...
Dreia: You *****! *slap*
Snoopdogg: You *****! *slap*
Omna: Get your lips off my mouth, YOU *****!
Arguas: *walks in and sees their embrace* I...
Omna: Arguas, no, it isn't what it looks like...
Arguas: *turns away coldly* ... You *****.
And now... the cast:
The Cast-
Omna, a gentle librarian whose heart is full of melancholy! (Actress: Rachel McAdams) Arguas, a handsome Catholic priest with a heart full of conflict! (Actor: Clive Owen) Alacar, the roguish businessman! Also, his heart is FULL! (Actor: Jude Law) Mamelon, the mysterious vixen who tends the bar! (Actress: Natalie Portman) Photon Eater, the CEO of Coffee Incorporated, and evil socialite puppetmaster! (Actor: Daniel Craig) SnoopdoggAtog, housewife with a past- a past of ASSASSINATION!

(Actor: David Boreanaz) Crimson Avatar, the millionaire playboy (Actor: Vince Vaughn) Dreia, as Alacar's mother (Actress: Toronga Leela from Futurama)
Introducing ShinSakura as the S&M nurse, Joyd as the tortured author, and with Tanthalas as the police captain!
Also featuring Faerie Lord as Fergalicious!
Episode 3: A Coffee Most Dark
Arguas runs out into the streets, and it mysteriously begins raining. Omna chases him, and grabs him, and they come together in a passionate kiss as Crimson watches in scorn from his balcony, barely able to finish his dry martini in rage. He calls up his father, who ends up being Photon Eater, and tells him that he needs help to make someone disappear, so that he can be with Omna, and keep her for his own!
Photon agrees to help his son, and calls up Sapphire in the middle of the night. She answers, clad in little more than gossamer and lace, and pulls a large gun from under her bed, straps it to her thigh, and heads out into the New York night to do her employers evil bidding!
Meanwhile, Snoop is visiting Mamelon at her bar, Le Debate Forums. She tells Mamelon that Photon knows about her past, and she is worried he will use it to ruin her marriage. Mamelon tells Snoop that it is the consequence of their past lives as high priced assassins, but she says she will do everything she can to aid her. Snoop asks what she means, but Mamelon says nothing more, simply picking up the phone and placing a call to an unknown woman, telling her that they have a "target!" Will the circle of death never end?!
Just then, Nurse Shin appears in Ethersphere's hospital room and notices that someone had inserted the wrong IV. She removes the needle, and Ethersphere awakens slightly, thanking her and asking her to call the FBI. However, before he can say more, she pushes a pillow over his face and begins to smother him! Oh, Ethersphere, will you avoid death once more?
Alacar calls him mother, and tells her to stop her criticisms of Snoop and her attacks on his marriage. She tells her son that if he doesn't divorce Snoop immediately, she'll do everything she can to have the marriage annulled. Alacar tells Dreia that if she tries, he will remove her from his life entirely!
Meanwhile, Omna and Arguas find themselves walking through Central Park at night, talking and laughing and sharing. They share another passionate kiss, and their love is so strong it actually overpowers the ambient odor of hobo and smog that pervades the air like some sort of urban perfume! Arguas tells Omna he is so glad he came after her, and reaches into his pocket to give her something- but before he can, a bullet strikes him in the shoulder! Omna whirls about to see none other than Sapphire standing in the darkness, wearing nothing but a negligee, with her gun smoking! Also, somewhere else, Crimson laughs evilly!
And just for the hell of it, so does Photon!
Ethersphere wakes up in a dark place. Another man, Joyd, is lying in a cot across from him on the other side of the room. Joyd is a famous author, but both of his legs were broken when he came to the hospital for a routine blood test. After having an encounter with Nurse Shin, he has been trapped in her basement ever since! What will become of them?!
At that moment, Omna stumbles into the hospital with Arguas slung over her shoulder! She cries out for help, and then, Shin appears, clad in white like an angel of death...
Stay tuned for our next exciting episode, possibly featuring some of the following scenes:
Ethersphere: What does she do with us?
Joyd: She makes me write beautiful poems for her.
Ethersphere: Oh, whew, I can write poems easy.
Joyd; I said she makes ME write poems. You are probably here for her sexual needs.
Omna: I won't let you kidnap my boyfriend, *****!
Shin: Too bad for you, dear, but your boyfriend is in another castle!
Crimson: Father, I worry I may be turning evil.
Photon: My son... that is why I had you... to be evil...
Mamelon: Only a true human can defeat the high handed enemy, young Atreides...
Alacar: I think you are making some sort of mistake, ma'am! Now get this box off my hand, it hurts!
Snoop: You realize I will have to kill you.
Dreia: Go ahead, you whore, I died the day my son married you.
Snoop: It would be a real death. Not a figurative one.
Dreia: Oh snap, really? Well then, in that case, damn.
FaerieLord: Hi guys, I'm Fergalicious!
Stay tuned!

[16:23] Alacar Leoricar: maybe if you do it'll make the porn more meaningful
I'm a little disturbed that everyone keeps talking about my cruelty and coldness. I'm full of warmth and caring, you pack of human filth!
Of course you are. Don't worry. You're the kind of rat bastard who's likeable because you know deep down he's a sweetie and he's just being a rat bastard because he likes to and doesn't care what people think.
As opposed to the garden-variety rat bastard who is simply a douchebag.
At this point I haven't a clue if it's playable, but the idea seems fun. The idea is to keep your opponent guessing with morph and control the board with counters. Serendib Sorcerer stops fatties and combines with two Prodigals to take out any creature. The deck features Vesuvan Doppleganger for the Fathom Seer engine and the Brine Elemental lock. Followed Footsteps also combines with the Prodigy for an almost-hard lock and with Prodigals to speed up the win condition. Ixidron also is a win condition, neutralizes any opposing creatures, and has minimal impact on your own side since most of your creatures can turn themselves face-up.
Any thoughts? Comments? (I know Alacar will like it )
EDIT: Photon, you've gotta do this more often. Pure gold!
Of course you are. Don't worry. You're the kind of rat bastard who's likeable because you know deep down he's a sweetie and he's just being a rat bastard because he likes to and doesn't care what people think.

A RAT BASTARD?
So, are you calling my mom a promiscuous woman who has sex out of wedlock, or my father a plague carrying rodent?!
Oh, I'm so gonna have my secretary kill you with her boobs, you go-kart riding experiment!
MIKE! TAKE OFF THE CROSS-YOUR-HEART AND GET OVER HERE!
P.S. I'm going to bed now. And, as always, I will be gone until Thursday. No one have any interesting conversations until I get back. Better yet, all of you put your lives on hold until I return. Except you, Alacar, you are pretty boring. It's probably safe for you to go about your business.
Also:
GAWD Photon, you know how to make a guy chuckle loud at everything he reads.
No, Kraj. I hate it. Anaba Shaman's where it's at.
Actually, it looks very fun. I'd love to build it. If Remand wasn't going for $8 around here. O.o
I've been hitting a rut when it comes to deckbuilding. I wanna make a good BR deck but I dunno what to use. Everything I should use I don't have. Gah. I suck with red.
ninjedit: Aye aye, Photon--I'll keep on keepin' on. Everyone else isn't allowed to post
Nice lookin Deck Kraj,my friend actually had something simular built awhile ago.Id add another Brin Elemental if I were you though.They get crazy.Mabye id lose a ...shapeshifter...just a thought.

*Smiles at another episode of the Magic Soap-Operahouse that never fails to brighten her day* Who can't appreciate Central Park AND The Alamo in New Mexico??
Apparently, I have a bit more time than I thought I would this week. Class got out early tonight and I'm about 30% packed. It's a pain to pack for Michigan and Florida weather when they aren't similar.
Congrats on RotW Sakura!
Mr. Stuff, I'm still saddened to hear about the passing of your dear friend. It' good that he's no longer suffering, but it's never easy to lose someone close. I lost four classmates in high school from a class of less than 130, so I know how you feel. We lost 7 kids while I attended there. It's a strong bond that cannot be broken. You've most likely lost a part of your heart, but he will never leave. My condolences to you. May you cope well in this difficult time. *hugs*
Photon, sorry about last night...I'm not sure what happened in IMland.
Mams, I sent you a PM about the tax situation. It's sort of my thing by default.
Alacar, congrats on a new ipod. Glad you got a quick replacement that doesn't seem too bad.
On a different note, this question was asked of me on one of those 8 billion annoying little surveys. However, it was more interesting than Coke or Pepsi, so I'd like to ask you all. If you could vacation anywhere and take someone with you, where would you go? Bonus points to whoever can figure my answer out. Sorry, Crim dear but you don't count.
@KoolKoal: Sorry I didn't read your fanfiction. I'm not much of a Star Wars fan so I couldn't find any interest in it really. That isn't to say I don't like the movies cause I do (the "first half" were just OK overall but still comparitively much better than half the crap out there in the modern world).
Congrats Sakura!! You really are an awesome part of the Coffeehouse. You haven't even been here that long and you already get a RotW. That really shows something about your presence here. And I didn't know Lilly was your sister!!
@Photon: (And I mean that as a compliment)
@Mr. Stuff: I'm sorry about your friend. I'm glad he went peacefully at least. I hope you and all the rest of his friends and family are okay. It is hard to lose someone at such a young age, but he is in a better place now. Again, my deepest wishes to you that you were not too hurt.
Wow, I don't really have much to say this time. Nothing happened today with the girl, in case anyone is wondering (probably not). It was pretty normal.
Oh, and running in the rain sucks. Especially with a t-shirt and shorts :-/.
@Tax situation: I still might be able to find them; they might be in a closet or something. I'm asking my mom about it tomorrow and seeing if she knows anything. Thanks for the advice everyone.
Quote from Nai »
And no one commented on my poem. I feel dejected.
Sorry. But I get it - I was sort of hoping for some more detailed critiques on mine.
Quote from ShinSakura »
Everyone has psychiatric problems, it is just some are more proniunced and difficult to live with and some are more socially acceptable. There is no shame it.
I didn't say there was any shame in it.
This one is very strong. I can tell from reading it you have a love for words. I think this would go over alot of peoples heads though.
Yeah, it's gots a very distinct, esoteric style. Photon and I both like it.
About your situation, Sakura - I'm sorry that this turning out to be tough for you. Some people are just going to have a hard time accepting it, and that may entail not being understanding or respecting your wishes. I am glad, however, that things are going well in other areas. Best of luck during your hard time.
Quote from Alacar »
Chew out yer mom.
Nah. I wish she would have let me know I needed them at first, but it's not her fault I can't find them.
Quote from Kevin »
The coffeehouse I would like to thank everyone in here for giving me alot of confidence to do well in the tournament.
We knew you'd do well.
@Mr. Stuff: This isn't turning out to be easy for you, is it? It's too bad you can't make it to the funeral. But at least you can talk with his other loved ones, and give yourself closure about this, right? *hugs*
I meant to tell you, I really like your new avatar.
And Sakura, congratulations on being Regular of the Week! So you wanna be a tall bombshell, eh?

Mamelon : Put her second only so she wouldn't see herself first and worry some. She is tops on everyones list and I love her so much. She can always make me think and takes my mind in so many new directions. Having her here is a big part of where I got the strength to transition myself.

I have? I didn't mean to be, I guess I just haven't had much to say. I'm fine; didn't mean to worry you.
Okay, then. I was just wondering.

Wait nevermind its a BG survival deck but it does have brasking rootwallas and several discard its a pretty nasty deck. I think your survival deck is better though because it has confinement and you can really exploit the enchantment in your survival deck. Your deck is better since it plays more then just aggro it plays aggro and control simultaneously.

Well it looks like the final standings for me at the 57 player legacy tournament is 23rd place out of 57 players after 6 rounds of swiss.
Some good news for me: I found a re-released torrent for YesY's sub of Utawarerumono today, which means I can finally finish the series. Yatta! I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get their entire release once they pulled it from their site due to the series being licensed.
See you all tomorrow. I'm off for home.
And for what? Are you feeling down or depressed? Aww, KK, we're here for ya! *huggles*
Ooh ooh, who, who?? And Guitar Hero comes out on my birthday. Whoopee. I like it, but I'd need to get it to play at my house to get good at it.
The one benefit to having GH on the XBox? It'll be on a USB plug. Which means a PC fan-port (or a PC release) is on the way.

Alright, now that I'm off my soapbox, we can get back to the regularly scheduled RotW.
Sakura prefers to be called by her name because it's a Japanese name (very pretty), and the name of her favorite flower. She has supplied a picture:The Sakura flower is used to celebrate springtime and a time of celebration, change and rebirth, which is happening now for most of us, and especially Sakura.
Sakura joined MTGSalvation about 1 year ago; she really just wanted to find something to do at work. Nothing big; no Rumor Mills or spoilers lured her here. She visits two places, really: Her own clan, [Vogue], and the Coffeehouse.
Concerning Magic, Sakura's favorite card is that big freaking pile of NO, Orim's Chant. Currently she's playing a Reality Acid deck on MTGO, but she wants to get back into Vintage. She hates that the Vintage season conflicts with her D&D gaming. Incidentally, I find it awesome that you play D&D, Sakura.
When she's not bouncing everything in sight, Sakura is big on poetry. She's currently working on a big poetry project (here), and many of us in the Coffeehouse have submitted works. I hope you include mine, Saki-chan! She hopes to get it published someday. Let's hope! Also, she works on photoshop, and enjoys photography and reading. And she's a total mega-Street Fighter geek. Thepipesarebroken!! *uppercut*
About herself, she has some very important advice to all of us, especially one or two people I know (you know who you are):
I would've paraphrased that, but it's better straight from the Saki's mouth.
Also, she hopes to get that tall bombshell figure she's been dreaming of. Can't wait to see it, Saki-babe.
Keep an eye out for Sci-Fi Movie of the Week on the Coffeehouse by Sakura--it's a bit of a niche Weekly, but it has not disappointed me yet.
Regarding the Coffeehouse, Sakura loves it because it's chock-full of friendly people that know how to have a civil, continuous conversation. Never has the discussion ended, and it will never end! "I could not pick better friends than any of you." Aww, thanks, Sakura
She had this to say about the menu, which made me chuckle.
I'll get right on that, babe.
She had these parting words for some of us Regulars:
Mamelon : Put her second only so she wouldn't see herself first and worry some. She is tops on everyones list and I love her so much. She can always make me think and takes my mind in so many new directions. Having her here is a big part of where I got the strength to transition myself.
Photon : I love his blunt sarcasm and tricky wordplay. A man after my own lovingly cruel and cold heart.
Kevin : The first good friend I made in the house, the smile he gives me just to see him post is golden even when I do not read the post. I learned alot about Legacy from him, which in turn made me a better player overall.
Lilly : My little sister. I envy you so much. You are having such a hard time handling things, but still continue...and I envy you being able to do this so young. If I woke up one morning and the sun didn't rise but you were by my side, it would still be a beautiful day to me.
And that's it for this week's Regular, ShinSakura.

Thanks Cecelia :), I think that if I did write my christian short story as a novel though, the ending would be too short compared to the massive amount of sad information I'd add before it.
Also, I added a link to my fan fic in my sig.
Mr. Stuff: (I should have commented on this earlier, but I'm naughty) I'm sorry for your loss. I've never lost a loved one before and for that I'm grateful.
@koolkoal: anytime and you know i speak the truth.
Love,
Cecilia/Kevin
I'm a little disturbed that everyone keeps talking about my cruelty and coldness. I'm full of warmth and caring, you pack of human filth!
So what do you guys usually chat about in here?
Anyone got an interesting deck idea they would like to share with the coffee drinkers?

[They kiss]
Photon: And I see you brought your loving wife.
Alacar: Oh, you've met her before?

Snoopdogg: *whispers* You *****...

Snoopdogg: You *****! *slap*
Omna: Get your lips off my mouth, YOU *****!
Arguas: *walks in and sees their embrace* I...
Omna: Arguas, no, it isn't what it looks like...
Arguas: *turns away coldly* ... You *****.

Introducing ShinSakura as the S&M nurse, Joyd as the tortured author, and with Tanthalas as the police captain!
Also featuring Faerie Lord as Fergalicious!
Episode 3: A Coffee Most Dark
Arguas runs out into the streets, and it mysteriously begins raining. Omna chases him, and grabs him, and they come together in a passionate kiss as Crimson watches in scorn from his balcony, barely able to finish his dry martini in rage. He calls up his father, who ends up being Photon Eater, and tells him that he needs help to make someone disappear, so that he can be with Omna, and keep her for his own!
Photon agrees to help his son, and calls up Sapphire in the middle of the night. She answers, clad in little more than gossamer and lace, and pulls a large gun from under her bed, straps it to her thigh, and heads out into the New York night to do her employers evil bidding!
Meanwhile, Snoop is visiting Mamelon at her bar, Le Debate Forums. She tells Mamelon that Photon knows about her past, and she is worried he will use it to ruin her marriage. Mamelon tells Snoop that it is the consequence of their past lives as high priced assassins, but she says she will do everything she can to aid her. Snoop asks what she means, but Mamelon says nothing more, simply picking up the phone and placing a call to an unknown woman, telling her that they have a "target!" Will the circle of death never end?!
Just then, Nurse Shin appears in Ethersphere's hospital room and notices that someone had inserted the wrong IV. She removes the needle, and Ethersphere awakens slightly, thanking her and asking her to call the FBI. However, before he can say more, she pushes a pillow over his face and begins to smother him! Oh, Ethersphere, will you avoid death once more?
Alacar calls him mother, and tells her to stop her criticisms of Snoop and her attacks on his marriage. She tells her son that if he doesn't divorce Snoop immediately, she'll do everything she can to have the marriage annulled. Alacar tells Dreia that if she tries, he will remove her from his life entirely!
Meanwhile, Omna and Arguas find themselves walking through Central Park at night, talking and laughing and sharing. They share another passionate kiss, and their love is so strong it actually overpowers the ambient odor of hobo and smog that pervades the air like some sort of urban perfume! Arguas tells Omna he is so glad he came after her, and reaches into his pocket to give her something- but before he can, a bullet strikes him in the shoulder! Omna whirls about to see none other than Sapphire standing in the darkness, wearing nothing but a negligee, with her gun smoking! Also, somewhere else, Crimson laughs evilly!
And just for the hell of it, so does Photon!
Ethersphere wakes up in a dark place. Another man, Joyd, is lying in a cot across from him on the other side of the room. Joyd is a famous author, but both of his legs were broken when he came to the hospital for a routine blood test. After having an encounter with Nurse Shin, he has been trapped in her basement ever since! What will become of them?!
At that moment, Omna stumbles into the hospital with Arguas slung over her shoulder! She cries out for help, and then, Shin appears, clad in white like an angel of death...
Stay tuned for our next exciting episode, possibly featuring some of the following scenes:
Ethersphere: What does she do with us?
Joyd: She makes me write beautiful poems for her.
Ethersphere: Oh, whew, I can write poems easy.
Joyd; I said she makes ME write poems. You are probably here for her sexual needs.
Omna: I won't let you kidnap my boyfriend, *****!
Shin: Too bad for you, dear, but your boyfriend is in another castle!
Crimson: Father, I worry I may be turning evil.
Photon: My son... that is why I had you... to be evil...
Mamelon: Only a true human can defeat the high handed enemy, young Atreides...
Alacar: I think you are making some sort of mistake, ma'am! Now get this box off my hand, it hurts!
Snoop: You realize I will have to kill you.
Dreia: Go ahead, you whore, I died the day my son married you.
Snoop: It would be a real death. Not a figurative one.
Dreia: Oh snap, really? Well then, in that case, damn.
FaerieLord: Hi guys, I'm Fergalicious!
Stay tuned!
GAWD Photon, you know how to make a guy chuckle loud at everything he reads. It's fantastic
Consider it added to post #2. I can't wait for the next episode!

Of course you are. Don't worry. You're the kind of rat bastard who's likeable because you know deep down he's a sweetie and he's just being a rat bastard because he likes to and doesn't care what people think.
As opposed to the garden-variety rat bastard who is simply a douchebag.
Dunno if this qualifies, but here's a deck idea I've been tinkering with:
4 Prodigal Sorcerer
4 Willbender
2 Serendib Sorcerer
4 Thought Courier
4 Fathom Seer
2 Ixidron
2 Vesuvan Shapeshifter
1 Brine Elemental
4 Followed Footsteps
23 Island
Any thoughts? Comments? (I know Alacar will like it )
EDIT: Photon, you've gotta do this more often. Pure gold!
Current New Favorite Person™: Mallory Archer
She knows why.
A RAT BASTARD?
So, are you calling my mom a promiscuous woman who has sex out of wedlock, or my father a plague carrying rodent?!
Oh, I'm so gonna have my secretary kill you with her boobs, you go-kart riding experiment!
MIKE! TAKE OFF THE CROSS-YOUR-HEART AND GET OVER HERE!
P.S. I'm going to bed now. And, as always, I will be gone until Thursday. No one have any interesting conversations until I get back. Better yet, all of you put your lives on hold until I return. Except you, Alacar, you are pretty boring. It's probably safe for you to go about your business.
Also:
I know how to make guys do a lot of things.
Actually, it looks very fun. I'd love to build it. If Remand wasn't going for $8 around here. O.o
I've been hitting a rut when it comes to deckbuilding. I wanna make a good BR deck but I dunno what to use. Everything I should use I don't have. Gah. I suck with red.
ninjedit: Aye aye, Photon--I'll keep on keepin' on. Everyone else isn't allowed to post

Who can't appreciate Central Park AND The Alamo in New Mexico??
Apparently, I have a bit more time than I thought I would this week. Class got out early tonight and I'm about 30% packed. It's a pain to pack for Michigan and Florida weather when they aren't similar.
Congrats on RotW Sakura!
Mr. Stuff, I'm still saddened to hear about the passing of your dear friend. It' good that he's no longer suffering, but it's never easy to lose someone close. I lost four classmates in high school from a class of less than 130, so I know how you feel. We lost 7 kids while I attended there. It's a strong bond that cannot be broken. You've most likely lost a part of your heart, but he will never leave. My condolences to you. May you cope well in this difficult time. *hugs*
Photon, sorry about last night...I'm not sure what happened in IMland.
Mams, I sent you a PM about the tax situation. It's sort of my thing by default.
Alacar, congrats on a new ipod. Glad you got a quick replacement that doesn't seem too bad.
On a different note, this question was asked of me on one of those 8 billion annoying little surveys. However, it was more interesting than Coke or Pepsi, so I'd like to ask you all.
If you could vacation anywhere and take someone with you, where would you go?
Bonus points to whoever can figure my answer out. Sorry, Crim dear but you don't count.
~Dreia
@Kraj: Deck seems sorta fun. I was looking into doing something very similar but for extended. Being the Johnny that I am I came up with Vesuvan Shapeshifter + Master of the Veil + Aven Farseer. Bonethorn Valesk possibly if I want a third color. Either that or Root Elemental. Now there's a combo...
@KoolKoal: Sorry I didn't read your fanfiction. I'm not much of a Star Wars fan so I couldn't find any interest in it really. That isn't to say I don't like the movies cause I do (the "first half" were just OK overall but still comparitively much better than half the crap out there in the modern world).
@Photon: (And I mean that as a compliment)
@Mr. Stuff: I'm sorry about your friend. I'm glad he went peacefully at least. I hope you and all the rest of his friends and family are okay. It is hard to lose someone at such a young age, but he is in a better place now. Again, my deepest wishes to you that you were not too hurt.
Wow, I don't really have much to say this time. Nothing happened today with the girl, in case anyone is wondering (probably not). It was pretty normal.
Oh, and running in the rain sucks. Especially with a t-shirt and shorts :-/.

Seriously? If anyone you know wants a foil one, I'll hook 'em up. I'd glady unload it at that kind of a premium.
I hear you about the deckbuilding rut. I really, really wanna make a UB mill deck, but the pieces I still need are so expensive
Current New Favorite Person™: Mallory Archer
She knows why.
Sorry. But I get it - I was sort of hoping for some more detailed critiques on mine.
I didn't say there was any shame in it.
Yeah, it's gots a very distinct, esoteric style. Photon and I both like it.
About your situation, Sakura - I'm sorry that this turning out to be tough for you. Some people are just going to have a hard time accepting it, and that may entail not being understanding or respecting your wishes. I am glad, however, that things are going well in other areas. Best of luck during your hard time.
Nah. I wish she would have let me know I needed them at first, but it's not her fault I can't find them.
We knew you'd do well.
@Mr. Stuff: This isn't turning out to be easy for you, is it? It's too bad you can't make it to the funeral. But at least you can talk with his other loved ones, and give yourself closure about this, right? *hugs*
I meant to tell you, I really like your new avatar.
And Sakura, congratulations on being Regular of the Week! So you wanna be a tall bombshell, eh?
Awww. *blushes* Well, I'm pleased that you benefited from me in some way.
. . . Wait a second. I'm Karen from One Tree Hill!
Hee hee hee. Witches.
@Kraj: Hey! How are you? You've been really quiet lately. Everything alright?
@Dreia: Thanks again for your advice!
All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the peace that you feel.
