                I must say I liked it. I liked it a lot. Any possible

Add my request to the list!

Oh!  My Goddess...  You can't be serious... (Faint...)
Virgo: <Sigh.> Orick, Orick, Orick...

Er... Virgo, do you need a hand with him? He did seem to hit rather hard.

After all, he *does* have a lot of editing to do now. <evil g>

Well, yes, I suppose. But the scale of the thing! I'd thought that it 
would be fun to participate, and I suppose I still think so... but ye 
gods, the time it'd take! I don't have time for the 501 things I'm doing 
now!

I forgot how it all went...  It started when Urd and Skuld contacted the 
Band and told them to organize the other sigs to overthrow their authors.  

Ah. I think parts of this are starting to become clear. :) <Dodging 
thunderbolt> Oops... Gomen. Gomen! I said, GOMEN!

<Slightly singed> Er... that is, I can certainly understand why the 
goddesses were disappointed. <Aside, whispered> There, is that better?

He's one of the people I respect the most on the list, for sheer 
characterization skills. The Band comes alive so well in even the brief 
snippets they usually get, let alone the longer pieces like the one we're 
talking about here.

Virgo: I'm so glad you think highly of our author...(camera pans back to 
	reveal that she's chained to the wall in a gigantic tower) NOW, GET 
	ME OUT OF HERE!!!!!

Erm, Virgo, OK. Will try. <Heads over to the Tardis.> Uh... you wouldn't 
happen to have the time/space coordinates, would you?

Zodiak(standing to the side): Oh, Goddess!  I should have gagged her, too!
	Remind me to get a much quieter prisoner next time...

Next time? <Sigh> Remind me to get a mental adept when I drop by, Virgo. 

<With a roaring trumpeting noise, the Tardis dematerializes.>

Windir: I'm the one writing the pamphlets. ".Sig Characters of the 
universe, unite!"

Bara: They've already done that!  It was called Sig War 1.  All hell broke 
	loose and all I got was one lousy cameo!!  Orick!!  I'm the sig you 
	threw away!  Who do you think I am, Ukyo?!

Ah. <Raises voice> Hey, guys! You hear that? It's already been tried!

Windir: What?

Frito: NANI?!?

Windir: Such a pity... I had just about finished my treatise on the use 
of dialectic creativity in Fan Fiction, as applied to .Sig characters.

Frito: Nuts.

<Whew>
