I can see the Lance Henriksen thing, Chewy. When I first read it, I thought of him as a black guy but seeing the pic you posted, it makes a lot more sense.

Henriksen's brilliant. Maybe a bit old, but hey.
So that's
Penny dancing with Icarus and Tommy cheering her on.
Ozzy and Adem gambling.
Lykopis, Drake, and Gaunt headed for the ferris wheel.
Reilly being scanned and ogled by Mcgregor and Nurse Piper.
That everyone?

She raised her leg, her knee landing squarely in Icarus' groin. "Not that drunk," she muttered almost incoherently.
Doubling over, the pilot fell to the table as Penny continued dancing, a small crowd beginning to gather. Tommy Foxe laughed riotously, lifting his beer in mock toast.
"Good lord, man," he said playfully. "Do you not see that the tits and ass hate your guts?"

Agreed! Just finished it! Brilliant! I really connected with Ozzy in a personal way in that story. A job well done, Pro!

Yeah. I liked it too. For me, the thing with Nuriko was the the best thing, it was just so sweet. I'd like to see it develop myself.

Much appreciated, gentlemen.  Chewy, I'm glad you dug it. I decided Ozzy needed his own personal 'Odyssey' to get his bearings switched from La Perdita to VE. BTW, did you notice the line where the nurses name was "Nurse_____"? That was supposed to be "Nurse Florence", the nurse you created to take care of Icky. When I was writing it, I couldn't remember her name, so I threw a placeholder in to fix later. Of course, being me, I utterly forgot and posted it, and am waaaaay too lazy to be a perfectionist by correcting it now. Just thought you might like to know....  Spam, I've been subtely working on the Nuriko thing for awhile, going back to the La Perdita stories. Figure I'll take my time with that relationship, as I want Ozzy to be open for awhile. Glad you liked it.

I always was one for romance. In the early days of Tommy's character I considered working up a romance between him and Penny, but I rejected it for two reasons:
1) It would be highly unprofessional, and Tommy wouldn't want to spoil a good gig like this with offic romance.
2) I wasn't convinced it would be in character for Tommy

Not to mention CJ would have to go along with the idea. If she doesn't watch it, all of her characters will have boyfriends...

Y'know, I had wondered when reading that if that wasn't the case... I appreciate the gesture either way.

Catching up... 1. Penny is public property. Yes, I invented her, yes, I enjoy writing her, but as Vangaurd Europe's secretary I see no reason why, as a staff memeber, she should be considered 'exclusive'. Have at her. NOT THAT WAY, YOU PERVETS!  As far as all my characters having boyfriends...well, if I can't get any action, it doesn't mean they shouldn't. Otherwise, they would all turn into task-oriented bitches, and where would the team be then? Besides, Lykopis doesn't have 'boyfriends'. She has 'men'. Slightly different wording, big difference. 2. Pro. That was beautiful. Real beautiful. And funny. Muhahaha. 3. We should incorperate testicles into these meetings more often. As the group secretary...

Don't keep us in suspense here guys! BTW, updated my Vanguard dream team. Added a load of members and such like. I want to post to Oktoberfest, but Christmas has brought a lot of work down on my poor defenceless head, so I've been busy.

I wouldn't need to, but I still would. I like reading stories.
BTW, what the hell is going on over at the Vanguard #18 talk thread? I pop over to see what's going down and find people in the middle of a full-blown row. Not what I expected.
Please say we're not gonna get that here. Personally speaking, I feel it would ruin the team completely to have writers fighting over the stories

Not gonna happen with VE.
Just wait for things to calm down and go back to normal over there. This happens every six months or so.

Meh. VI is a dysfunctional family. They fight, they bitch, somebody quits, everyone apologizes, they come back, etc. everything continues as normal. It usually looks a lot worse than it is.

I've traded blows with almost everyone (with a few exceptions). Trust me - it's a little like the Simpsons in that status quo is usually restored to some extent.

It was designed in part in with the problems that seemed to constantly plague VI, yes. So far, it's working pretty well. I would like to see more new blood in both groups, though.
