Re: Too Dorky 2013-12-10

Indeed, but the simplest answer is often the correct one. Or, in this case, the answer most firmly rooted in reality. :geek: Reali-what?!? Never heard of it. :mrgreen: I have Earl Grey tea and Irish breakfast tea and lapsang souchong tea, but none of this "real y tea". Sounds Spanish, and...

Re: Grounded And Smart 2013-12-05

That eagle lifted a fawn. A big eagle is 6kg. A small fawn is 30kg. So that makes the eagle's maximum takeoff weight/load capacity ratio of about 5x. (Forgive my rough math. I'm doing this on 1 hour of sleep in 48 hours total...) Let's assume Astali is 50 kg for the sake of simplicity. If I give he...

Though I'd imagine that taking on another individual's form might be considered something of a social faux pas (or bear pas, in the case of ursamorphs). //SPLORF// You definitely owe the Pun Jar something for that one... nicely done!

Re: Artwork on Tina's Coffee Shop bench top

It's definitely a Mesoamerican inspired image, if not one outright. So, something Aztec or Mayan or one of the other regional groups (understandably, they have a lot in common in their artwork). Not Inca. I'm not an expert on the subject, and the image is all smudged anyway, so I haven't any real no...

Re: why "Pickle"?

Of course, "pickle" used to be an idiom for a problem or for trouble. . .

I suppose that she'd at least qualify as a pretty pickle.

Am I the only one that remembers the conversation, that Paul endorsed, about the Akashik records? AIR, they access the records and 'adjust' themselves to where they need to go. No complex vector math. And maybe an insight to how all of Lanthian 'magic' works... (This was all done in the forum, not ...

Re: Sun on clouds. Below where you're standing...

I used to get this sort of thing a lot in one place where I lived as a kid. My cave was high up on the side of a glacier valley, and some mornings I'd go look out and it would appear as though the valley floor was only a few feet below and covered in snow. Or sometimes there would be a weird sandwic...

Or he's just really, really good at taking offhand details and lines that he wrote long ago, looking at them, and deciding, "Hmmm, y'know, I could work that into the next storyline I'm planning. . .". Though I expect that most of it does actually involve some advanced planning. Perhaps he ...

Well, it wouldn't be an unheard of sort of nickname for a Russian speaker to use on a young girl, but it could also imply that Lydia had some knowledge of the whole Jaguar Girl thing.

OK, I can see that Castela might have met Monica at the Library, without Atsali being present. And she and Atsali met Bud when she brought Kath to the Orphanage to get her partner and wound up getting two for the price of one; and from the sound of it, Bud's been keeping in close enough contact wit...

I think that it is the sort of "halfway paying attention as Bud lists Monica's characteristics" expression, which will in a second or two be replaced by the "wait, what was that last bit again?!?" expression.
