Sounds like I'm missing something here. Where is this "sig war" taking
place? (Another ML?). I'd rather remain neutral but if Virgo's in trouble

A secret organization of authors who use their sigs to wage war with one 
another.  You can only get in by invitation only...  Sadly, the Band's losing.

The ronin hesitates in the dark hallway of the Tendo Basement for a moment.
How could these events have befallen The Band? It is clear that there is a
traitor in there midst, but who? Scorpio, the patriarch of the family, or the
nefarious Robma, a figure of inestimable intrigue. The ronin shakes his head
sadly and continues down the dark hallway . . .

Okay... maybe I am planning to eliminate a couple more members...
Virgo and Allegra must go... (evil grin...)

NANI!!!???

Yup!  I'm planning to recycle Allegra by droping her off the Tokyo Tower 
without her thruster pack and I'm not sure how to take out Virgo just 
yet...  Maybe I'll kill Jody instead... (j/k maybe)

The silent shadow reaches the doorway to an empty room. On the door itself
a cheery sign greets the visitor to the room of an occupant who no longer
lives here. Pale moonlight dances on the floor beneath a lace curtained
window. The echoes of laughter long since departed still haunt the corners
of the room as the wind brushes against the dojo's walls above. On the sign
the name "Jody" is painted in bright yellow patterns. The shadow moves on,
hus jaw set firmly to keep the moisture in his eyes at bay . . .

[A shadowy figure crosses the lawn towards the Tendo Basement.
Silently, the figure lifts a window sash leading to the basement, and

Robma(types away at the Mallet 3000, the outside world oblivious to him): >...

>From somewhere in the dojo, a light clicking captures the ronin's attention.
It is reminiscent of the crickets he used to hear back in China when he was
but a young boy, many hundreds of years ago . . .

Musica: hey!  that means i have to face off with daddy...  chikuso...  i'm 
	screwed...

[The ronin stops midway in a dark hallway, hearing a distressed female >>

voice through the gap of a door left ajar . . . ]

(The figure is shocked to see Musica with candles strapped to her head 
and mixing a potion to protect her from evil...)

The ronin feels powerful emanations from the room. Emanations that bear
no ill-will upon him . . .

	Rob "Geez!  So the Band screwed up, Akane got killed, and Ranma >>>and

Zodiak are now lost to us as well!  It's not my fault!" Orick

[The shadow warrior turns back from the sobbing female voice, and
returns to his search for the sleeping Robma . . . ]

Robma(not asleep and still typing): now...  where do i go from here?

The clicking sound grows louder in the warriors ears . . .

Panda (If Virgo dies . . . GROWWFF!)

	Robma "Huh?  Mr. Saotome?  Is that you?" Orick

We all make that noise when we're peeved ;)

Now-  back to the spamfic!

Virgo(dressed in a pure black ninja outfit and hanging from the ceiling): if 
	i die, you die, orick...

The ronin suddenly turns, hearing the melodious tones of his beloved. Silent
steps take him down the hall to a closed door where the sound of typing and
agitated voices emanates . . .

Robma(throws his coffee cup over his shoulder and klonks Virgo): Get off 
	the ceiling, stupid!  Nabiki might come down here, see you, and 
	charge us extra for using the ceiling as well... (resumes typing)
	Must finish Twilight...

Virgo gets up from the floor and rubs her head where the coffee cup grazed
her. A slight creak behind her makes her body stiffen. Her eyes narrow as
she slides behind the door making no more sound than a whisper. Robma
continues typing fiendishly as the doorknob slowly turns, the door begins to
swing inward, and the tip of a katana appears beyond the door's edge,
gleaming in the dim basement light . . .
