Janus walked over to the ball, and picked it out of the instant, handing it to her and being careful to help her to her feet as he did.

Janus: "I said to relax... You shouldn't be too disoriented now. I've been able to do this for many years. It's how I retain my longevity. Now, take a look around you. Time's been stopped so that we can make an escape, but I've also done it for several other reasons."

He took a step away and turned around to face her.

"We're alone now... We won't be disturbed until I start things up again. Can you tell me what you're thinking? I want to know what's going on inside your head right now. I'm curious, it's been a rough few days for you."

Janus: "Hrm.... No. Sorry. I think saving your life three times in two days is enough to demand payment, is all."

He grinned as he took her hand and walked her over to a nearby alleyway close to where SP-Criish and Rijju had begun their flight.

"'sides, I only just met you yesterday. I don't jump to conclusions so easily. It was nice of you to tell me, though. Ready?"

He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek...

"For luck."

And time restarted, as hails of gunfire aimed at where Yiusi used to be passed harmlessly through the air and into the dirt, kicking up clouds around the worshipping monks.

"Ha, it worked! It'll take a few seconds for them to notice us, let's take those two and get the hell out of here!"

Oh, Legendary Megaman would actually probably win that one. Think about this:

He can jump higher than Megaman can, he has his own set of dash boots that are pretty effective (not as effective as the speed shoes but Samus still needs a running start for those). He can dodge, AND he can aim in multiple directions, as well as lock onto a target. He has homing missiles (Homing Missile, Active Buster), he has a hugeass attack move (Power Buster, Active Buster, Shining Laser), melee capabilities (THE ALMIGHTY KICK, the drill, and the Z-Sabre), he has a past and a personality that's as interesting as Samus', he has a girlfriend who can back him up almost every time, and he has a buster that's fully upgradeable, and very powerful when he's at his maxiumum potential. Plus, he's got energy packs, enough to keep him going for a long time, the Life Shield, and it ALWAYS takes at least two hits to kill him. You can't say he wouldn't at least make a good match for Samus.

Original Megaman, I can't say the same. It'll be like him stepping on spikes. The bad kind of spikes.

OOC: Sorry Schwa, I know you hate this, but it's a crossover reference and I'm really doing it for subplot purposes...

Janus: "How could you tell all of that? I didn't pick up anything from that, all I got out of it was that the feds apparently aren't happy to see us..."

He was about to continue, but before he could a large, feathery object slammed directly into him, flying on a direct opposite course with Rijju. The moment Janus regained his senses, he discovered that it was, of all things, an owl. Janus checked his watch. 9:00 AM, his time. Right on time, oddly enough. He had forgotten.

"Yagh! Oh... Oh, wait... Huh, it's my subscription to the Daily Prophet... I get it to keep up on the mystical world. Bit of a rag, if you ask me, but it's pretty reliable when it needs to--- Oh, shit."

The owl pecked impatiently at his hand, and Janus nonchalantly placed a few coins from his pocket into the bird's ankle pouch. The bird took off, and Janus stared dumbfounded at the front page headline...

'Rogue Psi Warrior Attacks Local Authorities!'

On the front page of the newspaper was a very eerily clear picture of a streak of blue light smashing into an Apache helicopter, and the remnants of a massive explosion in the background. Janus' eyes widened as he read aloud...

"Two nights ago, over the Stardust Speedway, several federal helicopters were destroyed by a powerful flying entity. Local authorities have determined the entity to have emitted an ethereal signature at the time of destruction, a known trait of the Psi Warriors, who are supposed warriors of the Life Aspects of Virtue, Respect, and Honor. Current high-profile Psi Warriors, such as Dr. Zin, Prince Schwa, and Allaura have been determined to be innocent of all crimes, but this lashing out against the law enforcement agencies has been taken as a severe black mark on the Psi Warrior record. Also noteworthy was the creature's blue ethereal signature, an as-yet-unseen aspect of the most common Psi Warrior sightings. The country's special forces have been alerted to the presence of this warrior, and are attempting to track him even as this story is published. The ethereal signature, which seems to be strengthened by the presence of some form of Oracle Energy, was last noticed in Sandsalot, heading in the direction of the city of Pentalipse. If you see ANY creature giving off a blue ethereal signature, please alert your local authorities for investigative purposes."

Janus lowered the newspaper and swallowed nervously, a worried expression on his face. "Special Forces"? He didn't like the sound of that. It was a wonder the police in Pentalipse hadn't caught on to him just yet... And what was worse, he was unintentionally giving Psi Warriors across the land a bad rap!

"Y... Yiusi, I think we're in a little more trouble than it seems right now..."

He let the newspaper fly off into the wind, and hoped Rijju could go faster, or else...

OOC: Once Janus is finished clearing up this wave, I'll take control of Kalar. He's my next character to be used.

Janus: "Easy."

He slammed his hammer into the ground, and up came a giant slab of earth, which he took cover behind as the flames spread outward and past him. When the fires died down, Janus' eyes took to the Dark Charmander that was sobbing for its life on the ground... He almost felt pity for it, and was about to crush its skull, when he remembered something...

Janus dashed toward the Charmander, and swung at its head with his hammer, faking the blow out at the last second!


"False Swipe!!!"

Janus rushed past the Pokemon, his hammer outstretched in another bushido-like followthrough. He paused for a moment, lowered his hammer, placed his hand inside of Satchel, and drew out a small, green and red ball. A Great Ball...? A copy of it, at least.

"Don't worry... You won't have anything to be afraid of soon enough!"

He hurled the Great Ball at the Charmander, and drew out an exact copy of it from his bag again, chucking that at the Charmander in case it tried something funny...

Janus picked up the blackened ball...

Janus: "I'll free you when I can... You won't be a tool anymore."

There was a melancholy tone to his voice as he gingerly placed the ball in the front pocket of his bag. When this was over, Janus intended fully on trying to help the creature. Who knew? Maybe it'd make a formidable ally someday.

-----------------

Kalar heard the voice from the rubble. He wasn't sure what it was, but if it was a survivor, he had to save it! Man, woman, child, animal, vegetable (well, maybe not a vegetable) or mineral (no, I guess not that either), Kalar'd be there!

He leapt high into the air and over the wreckage of several tourist attractions, and closed in on the stall...

Any of you know what this is?


(For credit purposes, it's a rather lovely picture from Samantha A. Martin's Elfwood gallery, she's got some good stuff)

Yeah. That's right. 16. The big 1-6, Sam. This means that, among other things, you are now legally able to:

Drive (with a license)
Have sex (in the states of Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Washington D.C., Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Caronlina (kinda), South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and in the military)
Get a job at most eating establishments
And retail stores

...

...

Ah, hell, I can't think of anything else. Happy Birthday, Sam!

OOC: Uh, that there Dark Charmander... What's going on, anyway?

Kalar edged closer to the rubble...

"Hold on, I'm here! Don't move a muscle, I'll help you!"

He dug the haft of his scythe beneath the rubble of the stall, and tried to wrench it upward...

Posted on 10-27-05 09:45 AM, in Garfield Comics. Link
Garfield is the ultimate marketing strategy...

Garfield has provided newspapers across the world with a neverending supply of bland, inoffensive humor that everyone can relate to. Most often it will induce a light chuckle in someone, or a smile, or in rare cases a full-fledged hyuck. The humor is broad, and many jokes or schticks are often repeated with slight variations in order to show that Davis (who actually contributes less and less each day to the comic writing process) can still "wow 'em" with humor.

Garfield himself, for example, is a character that will remain static for years to come, no matter what happens to him. He will never change, he will never undergo some kind of life-altering ordeal, because he is not meant to. He is meant to give us a reflection of our own fat, lazy selves, and to make us feel better about it. One could say that Garfield is one of the things that inhibits the world and keeps it from achieving its true potential, but one could also be absolutely insane. Nobody really knows, and because Garfield has never caused any trouble or controversy, nobody will EVER question its existence.

Davis himself was a businessman. Forget the story you heard from him, he created Garfield purely as a moneymaking venture. A simply-designed, easily drawn character that can be placed in many situations that are all essentially the same: Cat goes somewhere, cat eats/drinks coffee/sleeps/makes disarmingly pleasant wisecrack/irritates owner. What comes from it? Gigantic balloons at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Napkins. A cartoon show. Books, movies, video games, little stuffed animals that you stick on your window despite Garfield never actually doing that. Ever. Davis even proposed to have a special bookstore rack designed for his books so that they could be read from side to side when they were read and still stored on shelves in a way that didn't cause them to fall off due to imbalance. This in and of itself is another moneymaking venture: Design it, patent it, sell it to consumers. Genius, no?

And what are we? We eat. We drink coffee. We sleep. We try to engage others with our wit. We piss people off. The bottom line is that Garfield will never truly lose, and neither will Davis, because he has created a being that can withstand the test of time by adapting to the styles of the humans that can stand to stomach him long enough to be humored by him. Never change. Just, never offend either. That's Garfield. That's the world.

OOC: What about Arcanine, Rapidash, Charmeleon, and Ninetales?

Kalar's eyebrow raised. Somehow, he saw that coming.

Kalar: "Well, if it's for an innocent, sure, I guess I can kill you. I mean, do you really want me to?"

Kalar tossed his scythe from hand to hand. It was much easier to just throw his opponent off than to engage them directly. This much he knew from his bouts with Janus. But he didn't really want to just go into this empty handed. It was a good thing he had his weapon with him, if he had been caught without it... Oooh, that'd have sucked.

"You know, I'm not too keen on killing. I guess if it's a special request, though, I could oblige."

OOC: Let's wait til the end to resolve this particular subplot. Have him catch up to us if you want, but I can guarantee he won't see us for long. Which may add some more to the tale...

Janus: "Y-Yeah... Yeah, I can. Give me a few minutes. I've got a good one."

He sat down on Rijju's back, closed his eyes, and relaxed himself. The blue ether around him, now uncontrolled by his will, started to flare up again and gave off another ping to Schwa, unbeknownst to Janus. When Janus opened his eyes the ether died down and his eyes glowed azure instead.

"Haste Hurricane!!!"

Instantly, time skipped a few seconds, and then flowed back into motion in a desperate attempt to catch up on what it had lost. The energies flowed around the group, and their perceptions changed as the time used THEM as the vessels for its realignment. The world slowed down drastically, but to anyone but the four travelers, it'd seem like nothing had happened. The end result? They were moving, thinking, and living at a very, very fast rate.

"OKlet'sgo!"

OOC: No, I always considered Pokemon with one evolution as mid-levels... Weird, I guess. But they're gonna need to be worked in somehow. I'll let you take it from here.

Kalar grinned, and his eyes flashed a bright red. Giant fireball, eh? That'd come in handy...

The fireball blew toward him, and Kalar braced himself as it hit... Or did it? The warrior's body melted into an expulsive mass of shadows and screams, wrought from the bright light of the fireball's flaming flight and the dead souls of all of the attack's innocent victims. As it passed by him, he reformed himself back together, scythe in hand and smile on his face.


Kalar: "Yeah... I've been doing some training."

He closed in on the Charizard with as much speed as he could muster for a warmup. When he was a good few yards away from the dark dragon, Kalar suddenly disappeared in a burst of real speed, and the near-transparent blade of his scythe swung around at the Charizard's neck as he reappeared behind him. The long haft of the scythe, as well as Kalar's hopefully unexpected movements, allowed him to make such a maneuver without threat of the flaming tail or beating wings of the dragon. Kalar landed on the ground beside the Charizard and leapt away as soon as he could, licking his lips in anticipation. Unlike Janus, Kalar was going for blood!
