JH–happy belated . . . my hairline’s receding too; would you avenge me?

CFL scrapbook page:

to complete the set, this is–
Tebby, the stuffed animal that scared a group of explorers. Technically, the thought of the young one that owned a stuffie bigger than the whole party caused the fear, but–

Draga’s villainous Mother’s Day bouquet (heads of 6 heroes and 1 mayor) complete with the classic self-portrait.

Venom Clan Shield, where I experimented with digitally distressing metal–needs more. Dimpling didn’t work.

But my work in metal shop and my experience chopping trees with an axe came in handy. . .
This is a . . . comic book hero. [checks self for fever] I’m okay–there’s another story coming.

Besides a couple of items in the Custom archive and a billboard entry in HK’s contest, these are all the pix I’ve recovered. Be sure to check out my fiction in the forums. This CFL multipack will continue to bring more ‘je ne c’quoi’s ASAU-EP.

The Show Must Go Off–part four
\FORMATMAINT \MARKBEGIN \LOCPREP
MCL-BeltMiner#C485640624
I had just gotten to an info kiosk and poked around a bit, just looking at code security, when I realized my first real problem. My quarters were right by Fight Registration And Arbitration, between Arena Row and The Shaky Camera–the biggest, roughest sports bar in the main halls. Worse, it was as far as possible, trafficwise, from Emergency Medical Services. Great. The cheapest room I couldn’t survive to walk to and from. I’d need a lookout by my front door. I started looking through the netposts, and happened on something under ‘Spotter Trading.’ I got a contact point, hacked his schedule, and realized that if I hurried I could beat him home.
“Jenko?” This guy wasn’t as short as he looked, on account of his spine was bent like one of those old-fashioned Christmas candy canes. He WAS as shriveled and brown as a Christmas pine tossed away in August, though. Maybe as prickly too.
“Who’s askin’?” He didn’t spin or dodge, just paused like, ‘oh, well. Mugger again today?’
I introduced myself and found out a spotter is actually a piece of mining equipment I didn’t know. They quit using Standard Portable Oscillating Trenchers in ’56. But this was ’51. He actually liked my idea of a lookout service. I negotiated to be a grunt for him, slow apprenticeship plus lookout. Sweetening the pot, I arranged to hang a hammock for myself over his couch and stay at his place for cutting him in for a fourth of whatever I could make on my place. His place was right by Equipment Bay Two and Enforcer Station Five. Muggings were rare there. Then I hacked the hallcams and streamed all the old footage in the servers.
I ran it, looking for empty halls and found out that doesn’t happen. A few quick apps to collect data . . .
It must have taken me an hour to figure out that the least violence happens in the crowds that form when arenas empty twenty-four to eleven minutes before main shift changes. Hammock hung, I ate an MRE, programmed Jenko’s door to let me in, borrowed and double-clipped a wrench and a mallet to my worn-out comasuit and set off to turn my place into a moneymaker.

I have found the first copy already. From here I could begin. I need people to pit their wits with certain scores.
Magery=M, Memory=mm, Casting Weight Tier=T
Ingredients=i1,i2,i3 . . .

If two ingredients, pick 4 traits you want and 4 you don’t. With 3 i, 9 each for 18. Like below.
lower,higher,constant
M16,mm8,T–3 pounds

---

Vobo rolled a 17M, lost one trait. Luckily he had 2 repeats.
i1–straw, i2–unmeasured sand–He already had a mm8 (total = traits,) so he didn’t have to roll for
////////////i1////i2

---

a minus to his M roll. And the leftover sand? Was just leftover.
want burns burns

---

Neat result. . . he invented straw that he can POUR
want burns falls like sand

---

after he lights it. It’ll just fall, not subject to wind.
don’t rises doesn’t burn

---

He didn’t pick a color. He got 3 pounds of pink straw.
don’t noisy blows away

---

Only a fist-sized bundle. This took one action.
Do I have a volunteer to use Vobo’s stats?

There was this great folk song called “One Tin Soldier” I heard many years ago. Wonderful ironic twist at the end. I guess if you can find it on itunes or napster you could listen to it before looking at the end–but it’s not what you call a popular tune.

Myro said this was a fair representation, but I’m not sure that meant he knew the song.

Further bulletins as events warrant.

Is it possible for horror to become too modernized? Take the profession of vampire hunter . . .

A little blood for scent in a medkit for treatable victims, and, a stronger neck bolt.
Oh, well, back to the drawing board.

Ok, so, you know how all those depictions of Mayan deities look like they were sick? Imagine a tour guide finds the reason in Mayan lore and includes it–

Ambivalence
Imagine a being who is only as powerful as the indecision found in those it encounters. Always half-in, half-out, this dual-gendered, multi-race, multispecies, old and young, primitive and tech savvy, fun and hostile . . . pandimensional being is half-coming to a poor soul near you.

I would say you shouldn’t be horrified but amused at this idea–but I’m not sure.

This thought occurred to me awhile back–what if a droid could be built for a task like this? Staking with machine accuracy and speed, not needing a hammer at all, carrying a few small vials of blood for scent in a medical bag for saveable victims, wearing clothes–maybe it could work . . . but in all invention processes there are failures . . .

I’ve titled it: The First Solo Bite

R2D-two (Star Wars) mmm–next submitter may choose to ignore, as in the books, this was sometimes Artoo Deetoo. Your option.

[Herr D]

Hk: I only just found this, and I don’t know why THIS didn’t catch on. Here’s what I tried. Obviously I’m still having some trouble.

Ned Niederlander (The Three Amigos)

[Herr D]

I might shift the order of their list, but the primary change would be removing the only one I hadn’t heard of (still couldn’t catch his name somehow–short dude with odd wig and occasionally blue skin?) and adding Megamind. Yes, he’s animated, but I enjoyed him more than any other movie supervillain ever. He’s also the only Will Ferrell character I ever enjoyed.

[Herr D]

I would welcome constr. crit. as well as comments on weapon vulnerability and whether it should be considered 2-stage dmg if the bolt-plate is hit first. That way of course, single, manual reloads could still happen. Gamers?
