There's someone at the heavily armored secure vault door! la la la... It's Gramma Lily! la la la.... She's having a massive emotional breakdown! la la la... Only a small innocent child could get away with that. I do hope nothing bad happened back the island (Don't come over here/hug/touch me! Leave ...

I don't think it is the loss in the past right now. Lily has had millennia to adjust to the loss of her children, family, and civil environment. She died alone and became a vampire, developing the mental armor to protect herself and help others in the same position. What's happened is that all her a...

I would guess that someone needs to unburden herself of a few millennia of anguish, pain, loss, and guilt. And then try and Look On The Bright Side Of Life.

I'm going to have to go back and reread a whole lot of story, but I think Lily is suffering from "Survivors Syndrome". General depression, not eating (blood), loss of will and desire to take care appearance. After 5000 years she saw the end of her race, her people, and her civilization and...

Let's see: fresh coffee, hot water for tea and drinks, check date codes on pastries, vending packages, and refrigerated goods, replace stale popcorn, check beer and soft drink carboys, fresh ice, vacuum upholstery, clean glasses out, plump pillows, check sound proofing on door to screaming balcony, ...

Does this mean I'll have to get Pocky, Green Tea, and canned coffee for the confusion corner? (We already have Ramen cups in the vending machines.)
Maybe a Pachinko machine?

On the other hand the forces of law and order and the Bohemian community do have a long tradition of animosity.

Just because Guidance can't come out doesn't mean Georgette can't drop in via a dream state. (It is morning, the time between between sleep and wakefulness.)

Humm, good question. Makes me wonder if you could get a spark into the bubble before it breaches would i explode since it is in a confined area. I would guess that it would not explode due to insufficient oxygen. This (insufficient oxygen) would be more likely to be true if mermaids have gills ( wh...

The point that's coming up is Atsali is about to have the mantle of leadership thrust upon her by the mob, like it or not. And nothing is more dangerous than a mob whose will is frustrated. Atsali and her friends will either have to ride the wave until they can learn to control it or be crushed by i...

Who ordered the haggis and smoked salmon pizza with extra provolone in the confusion corner?

As to the discussion on Cricket's abilities as to the general weaving of false realities of truth and fiction on the fly, she's Fae royalty. She may be a generally nice person but it's part of her genetic make-up. She can spin a believable tale six ways from Sunday at the drop of a hat while undergo...

Any tea and cookies?

Well, there's hot water, creamer and sugar, and the tea rack selection. And you could request a cookie tray selection if the snack bags in the vending machines don't do it for you.

Fresh coffee is up in the confusion corner.

It is entirely possible that our dear author has a completely mundane slice of life story he's going to dump on us to side track us right in the middle of this plot line, perhaps a zoning problem for the coffee house that will need a non paranormal solution or local petition for a zoning variance. O...

The Maguffin is an essential element in any story to ensure the characters stay in line and play their parts. In this way it can be considered the heart and soul of any tale.

So we finally meet the real Cricket. Pretending to be something you are not is never a good idea. Eventually you will run into a situation you cannot cope with the way your faking it calls for. I think being herself in the long run will accomplish a lot more than carrying on with the Fae bad ass wi...

To be honest I keep thinking it sounds like one of those old Caribbean cruise ships that caught fire.

Well, I figured it was going to take Dr. GilChrist and a firm grip on the reins to regain control of the situation. "Re: ancient-guardians 2014-07-30 Postby Timotheus » Wed Jul 30, 2014 12:44 am What is needed now is adoptive mom (or even grandmom or sister) to take (a) tough love stance that y...
