The Atomic Punk
@WMDBASSPLAYER: I thought of this quote when I saw Amy Atom: “Look, a family full of midgets isn’t considered kids. That’s a gang!” She struck me as the outrageous, outgoing type. A mix of “badittude” (Tina Turner, Grace Jones, Vanity 6, Left-eye Lopez, etc.) packed in a D-Cell battery.
Harlekin’s “After Forever” is in the works. Several ideas; none finalized.
LINEA
Original Character by Linea24; Story by The Atomic Punk
“Dear, have you seen Thomas?†Adalmund inquired, staring out the window with a look of worry.
Mildreth looked up from her sewing, “If by ‘Thomas,’ you mean our daughter Linea?â€
“Daughter? Hmph, if she were our daughter she would be sitting beside you now.â€
“And what? Knitting her wedding gown? Is that what you are implying?â€
“’Twill be some time before she marries. She is not a proper young lady. Out there in the woods, hunting. Showing up the lads with her archery. She is too much like a boy.â€
“No, you wish that she were a boy,†Mildreth retorted, increasingly cross with Adalmund.
“Well, these are uncertain times. I don’t know if a Tom such as Linea has the sensibilities required to keep a good home and raise a happy family.â€
“You dare, Adalmund! If there is a ‘Tom,’ it is you. You are a Doubting Thomas, my King! She is quite capable.â€
“No… you are wise as always, my Lady. I could not be more proud of her. Our progeny will be a strong and righteous Queen one day.â€
