You don't live in the CDZ without knowing three things. Blacksburg cops are little more than organized thugs with heavy duty bang-bang and itchy trigger fingers. The Network really DOES know everything you do. And sex is something best done in the open. The first two really don't apply to me. I'm a private investigator here in what used to be quiet Blacksbu...

Their armor was finely crafted from mithril and s...
Deep down in the cavernous bowels of Bánánach Hole, the cacophonous clangour of a skirmish already in progress rang throughout the multitude of prehistoric burrows. From out of the shadows, a glint of silver arced horizontally through a legion of reanimated skeletal warriors, hewing through their ancient bones and decrepit armour like they were constructed f...
I DO NOT OWN AND DID NOT CREATE THESE CHARACTERS They had been riding all day, and as they approached the forest the sun began to sink into the west. Aragorn was far ahead scouting for a good place to camp, Gimli and Legolas were sharing a horse, and were making their way slowly into the tree line. Legolas was sitting in the front, and with a whispered word...
The mysterious stowaway was pinned into the duralumin cone at the tip of the airship, with no route for escape. Lady Sally stepped up.

Has Madam Bellowhead sent...

Which somehow led to them teasing Zalen by spending their time nearby and randomly suggesting places and positions while he was busy making travel plans with Leilah. "So we will be travelling through the...
