Wow. I've been really, really drunk, and really, really high, and I've never had cool-ass dreams like that. Well done. I hope you feel better.  A note: I edited my last post, as Grimmly reminded me that Guant does not carry a cane. My bad. Of course, you should all be prepared for me to get all of your characters completely wrong. I don't want to let Euro down, you know....

Don't worry, Pro. I've been counting on you getting all our characters completely wrong...

Why Americans are so sensitive of what Europeans tell about them?

Wow. That's the second time I've forgotten to switch to my Ozzy Baxter ID to add a post. Sorry. So, Chew, how badly did I fuck Icarus up?

I think the problem with Americans is that they believe there is something like German currency.

Okay, is this the 'Make-fun-of-Americans-especially-Pro' hour? Because, if you want to get into ass-molesting Leprechauns, and barely legible English, we can....  Listen, I have never claimed to be an expert at anything, much less what I write. Sometimes, my accuracy for characters, and real-life facts may be skewed or completely wrong. However, the point of doing any of this stuff is simply to have fun. For me, anyway. So, as far as my posts are concerned, Germany will have currency, Angkor Watt will be in Peru, and I will take dramatic liberty with other characters as long as it serves to enhance the character themselves, or, the story as a whole. If you aren't used to it by now, I can't help you....

 Pro, once and for all: I am not making fun of you. I am trying of making fun with you, but it seems I am not able. There is nothing bad in the thing for which I point at you! I make worst mistakes all the time, and I know perfectly I have a bad English, but that doesn't stop me to come here and write with you all. I promise to shout my big mouth!

Oh for the love of...... I LOVE YOU EURO!! I understand you are (what I like to call) "giving me shit". I, of course, am doing the same to you. I see some things get lost in translation. Listen, you keep me, and everyone else, on their toes, okay? I respect and like you for that. Even if it annoyes me sometimes, it's still your defining attribute to these stories, and this writing. And, as has been said before, NO ONE has more drive and passion for this stuff than you do. So, no harm, no foul. You keep poking me with my mistakes, and I'll keep doing the same to you....

Not too badly. I'm not sure that he'd be a country fan (though I've had "The Gambler" in my head on and off over the past couple of weeks), but definitely did a good job with his banter with Drake. I look forward to seeing you work more with him.

Well, the singing was sort of just him singing whatever tune was in his head. You notice I blended that and a Bon Jovi song together. I just thought he would have normal characteristics like alot of us, where we start singing a song, and only actually know the chorus. And, usually we end up singing a completely different song by the end. Or, at least that's what I do, anyway. BTW, I enjoyed your final Charlene Montoya scene in the La Perdita story. Good stuff...

Regarding Gaunt and canes. Gaunt does not carry a cane. I have to specify this for a couple of reasons:
1) I've already done my cane character, Mr. Grimm in the Rogues stories, and he bears certain surface similarities to Gaunt.
2) I'm attempting to differentiate those two characters and keep them separate because they are NOT the same character, which I felt people might assume and begin writing Gaunt as Mr. Grimm.
Mr. Grimm is very caustic and not fond of people. He's standoffish. He's meant to be an asshole.
Gaunt is not. Gaunt is simply curt and businesslike. He's aloof. He says what he feels he needs to say and that's that.

Is it a diamond-studded cane, or a gold-handle?

You know, it would be interesting for the entire Vanguard group to switch gender for a story. Just for laughs.

It happened in the old MBL universe. It was when Tobias Christopher and Gioacchino the supercat get amalgamated... and then they found the gender switcher of MeDuSa... I miss those days...

Excellent stuff, people! I especially like how everyone is understanding the use of Ian. However, not to be anal, but it's "McGregor". There's no "a" in the "Mc". Also, if you can come up with some bizarre, off-handed way for McGregor to handle such an odd problem as unbreakable skin, go right ahead. McGregor's sole point is that he's a doctor that is used to using unorthodox procedures to help patients, as all of his are metahumans. Just so you know, though, I too was never able to get around how he would be able to give indestructible people like Ozzy a shot... Anyway, I apologize if that last post came off as unbalance in a way. I wrote it off the top of my head. However, when I wrote it, I was following CJ's post where there as only Adem, Ozzy and the Columbians. Once I logged out as Pro, and logged in as Ozzy to post it, I realized others had continued the story. So, I quickly did a small edit to have Drake and Guant there as well. But, that's why it's so Adem/Ozzy centric. I hadn't accounted for the rest of the team showing up yet. If you want to work around it, that's cool. I'm sure Gaunt and Drake can have a stronger showing against Mueller than Ozzy. That's why I left it open...

Sweet friggin' post, Pro!
I especially loved Icarus' "solution" and his response when it was all over. I laughed out loud when Mueller got back up because you nailed Icarus' reaction. Well done!

Sure. I'm just using my experience working at a vet's office for the medical stuff . (After I typed it I realized that for a human, the oxygen would probably be set to something higher in the 5-6 range. But no biggie.) I'm still not sure how one would stick someone like Ozzy, unless you had some sort of enzyme or protein on the needletip that would hinder any sort of regeneration.

Well played, Grimm. Well played....heh.... Don't worry about editing spelling mistakes. I'm not THAT anal. Thanks Chewy. I'm slowly getting a hint of what Icky's like. CJ, none of us would have known the diff if you had stated they were giving Lykopis two-hundred milligrams of cotton candy. You're the medical expert, not us. Well done, all.
