Bravo!

[The Atomic Punk]

Nice. I like how the ear is melted into his head. I’m sure the monk doesn’t, but that’s a cool effect and is exactly what happens to skin.

SHOOTING STAR
Original Character by DC-Lover; Story by The Atomic Punk

Sheldon, Sheldon, Sheldon… what did you get yourself into? This is just crazy. Why did you volunteer? Heck, why did you enlist in the first place? Look at this get-up! When these “stabilizers” are engaged, you can’t move your arms. I don’t know about this.

Think about it, though. The Wright Brothers ran a bicycle shop. Some 40 years later, Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier. The Russians sent Yuri Gagarin into space less than 20 years after that. Oh, yeah, he died in a plane crash. That’s going to be me. They’re going to shoot me off like a bottle rocket. Pow! No more Sheldon.

They sent a man to the moon using an abacus and protractors. My cell phone has more computer power than that. So maybe the engineers got this one right. I bet the crew of the Columbia were crapping their flight suits the whole time.

Before we light this roman candle, I just want to say, Mom, Dad, I love you. Take care of my boxer puppy Ruffy if this goes wrong. This is it. This is what it’s all about. Being someone. Not just some kid from South Dakota. 3… 2… 1…

Holy ! It’s working. This is so cool! Yeah, baby! Captain Sheldon Marcus, United States Air Force. First in flight!

[The Atomic Punk]

Love it. There’s a dwarf recipe somewhere in the forums. I’m not at home, so I don’t have it with me. I should have her encounter with the One-Armed Bandit finished soon.

OPEN DOOR
Original Characters by JR19759; Design by Harlekin; Story by The Atomic Punk

“Hey, Lili, great party, huh?”

“Danni, you’re wasted.”

“No, I’m not. I just feel… very comfortable right now.”
“And why’s that?”

“I don’t know. Being with friends, having a good time.”

“Yeah, I suppose.”

“Lili, Lili, you’re so silly.”

“Ok, Danni, you’re drunk.”
“Hey, can we talk?”

“Um, yeah, we’re talking now.”

“No, I mean… can we talk?”

“Fine… what’s on your mind?”
“Lili, we’ve known each other for quite some time.”

“Yeah, we have.”

“Oh, I love this song! You want to dance?”

“Want to dance? Danni, you’re funny.”
“Can I be serious for a moment, Lili?”

“Sure.”

“I think those glasses make you look so cute!”

“Danni, you’re starting to become annoying.”
“No, I mean it. I mean… Lili, you’re a great friend.”

“Thanks, drunkass Danni.”

“I was wondering…”

“Wondering….”

“Can we be more than friends?”

[The Atomic Punk]

Thanks, Lime. I haven’t been to St. Louis in years. Have to ask, have you been watching “Defiance?” If yes, what do you think? For my part, it’s been “meh.” I expected more out of Rockne S. O’Bannon (chef d’oeuvre, “Farscape”). My favorite characters so far have been Sukar (who they use like a punching bag) and Doc Yewll (who I can relate to).

[The Atomic Punk]

Kangaroo is great! His costume and powers are very “fitting.”

As to Calamity Jane’s hand position holding the gun…

Game, set, match!

[The Atomic Punk]

Great story. I like the metaphorical use of colors.

Much thanks Scatman. I am a fan of language, bad puns, and cunning linguists.

Not going to go there.

SAINT LEONINE
Original Design by Renxin; Story by The Atomic Punk

Sancte Michael Archangele, defende nos in proelio; Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.

Science and technology, like all blessings, can lead to temptation. Once dark paths are now illuminated by fiber optic cable. These troubled souls, I pray for them. Their methods are modern while their master, Mammon, is ancient. They stalk the internet much like a thief eyes a bazaar.

These daemons care not from whom they steal. That what they take is more than numbers. It is food, shelter, medicine… hope. There will always be hope as long as He has champions.

Good people, I vow to honor and protect your charity. Not with locks, not with guns; instead, with data and traffic analysis. Anonymous as the would-be thieves; delivering justice with a tap of the touchscreen. Woe to the wicked – for beyond the firewall, behold a Lion.
