He's almost as bad as Elvis, and the Beatles were to our generation.

Phix has made it known that she's not fond of 'adventurers'.
Heh. I figure she might be just a kid who doesn't want to chance getting banned from the Library until she's eighteen for getting onto the "Adult" stacks...

Curses, "Fairportfan", You beat me to it. Really sounds like someone who may get in trouble for being in The Library. Or like Sarah Jane (or Leela) when she snuck on board the TARDIS looking for adventure. ;)

Be warned standing tall is not a good idea. The pun jar can afford excellent cat-sassins and snipers. Someone will be sure to turn you in. In this case I think that the pun jar will reward whistle blowers. In fact I definitely need to earn some points with it.

Pun Jar: You have been told. Meet me at the 59th street bridge entrance.

I love the look of abject panic on Atsali's face when Kath says she was going to ask Phix... Things that make you go 'hmmmmm'...
You know that light at the end of the tunnel?

Yeah... it's a bullet. Sorry.

Without Phix's involvement, the trip could still be a go, and it would be much more adventurous (and probably dangerous given what we've seen before).
True, but Monica is Phix's favorite humie (sans maybe Shelly now due to relations), and look at all the stuff Phix has done to M. Monica may whine, but she's tough enough (mentally, emotionally, and physically) to endure whatever Phix may dish. Kat not so much (at least yet).

But we have learned that the punchy-killy-death that Phix inflicted on M was accidental. Phix wouldn't have done it if she'd had the chance to react to M's poit...especially since she didn't know that M could regenerate. :) So I think we can overlook (to an extent) what Phix has done to M when considering how she'd treat Kat.

Unless someone else agitated her beforehand. Then there's the chance Monica could walk into the library only to see Phix enjoying another snack.

She sounds like a British schoolgirl from a school/holiday story.

All Paul would have to do is throw in one "jolly" or "ever so", and that would make it definite.

My point was like the fellow you accuse of being a grouchy old curmudgeon, and he replies, "That's wrong! I am NOT old!"

Clarifying: I didn't mean she's actually in school - i meant she sounds like a schoolgirl in a British school novel for girls.

surely it would depend on her culture - in UK at least you cannot leave school legally until 16.... :)

Yeah - but some schoolgirls never get older than fifteen or so, anyway.

Even when they're forty-three.

(Just to pull a number out of somewhere.)

well it depends if you have your looks!! :roll: also depending on your Japanese fantasy.... :twisted:

whatever 'earth' age she is really , she is young enough to find an excuse to escape the 'boring old people' (yeah teens think 25 is old!... :/ ) - I am guessing she needs an 'earth' person to get the portal to open.. (damned nanny, stopping me gettin' thru... :x )
