Narrator: Reality hummed quietly to itself.

<Jimmy Stewart playing the part of Reality, humming and supping on a
wholesome meal>

Narrator: A happy little song about Samurii, undead and walking through
the corpses of loved ones.... at least that's what the subs read. Jpop
was still Jpop and no self respecting otaku, as we know reality to be,
would let such things as cultutral significance get in the way of a
catchy tune. Besides, things were going great, bizarre cross-overs were
just not in vouge this month, Tenchi fics were nill to none, and most of
the Ranma cast had kept perfectly in character. Ah, Sandy Frank was in
his hell, and all was write with the world. Obviously, this could not
last...

<sound of a uncoming train, Reality drops his bowl>

Reality: My soup! <looks up to the stars> Hmmmm, everytime a bell rings,
an Eva get's it's wings... but when the whistle blows....

<Reality picks up the last can of Cam-bells anb then promptly "splits"
Through the tear, the sound of a train coming to a halt is heard. The
blacker then black strip of void spews forth steam, power, and kawaii.
Seven white balls of fluff come onto the stage, each wearing a hat,
sunglasses and carrying an instrument. Calmy, they unpack, set up thier
saxes, guitars, piano's and such. They pu-ase for a brief second, as two
men walk on stage. Both wearing hats, sunglasses and black suit and ties
with white shirts underneath. The Mokonators start slow, a simple tune,
but instantly recognizable... Keener and Krudd wait for it, playing
cool... then the music kicks in, the Pu-es Brothers start to jam and the
Author and the Amalgalm explode into "Do That Dance" action.>

Krudd: <still dancing> Soul Man? Now one not in Wevenge's End is gonna
get this Keener.

Keener: <still prancing> Doesn't matter, I like the song. Besides,
that's not why we're here anyway.

Krudd: <starting to blitzen> Which is?

Keener: <comets... errr comments>  Well, first of all, I wanna thank
EVERYBODY for the terrific response I got on Craft 54.

Krudd: <removes hat and shades and doners... dones his mini-ones> Yeah,
most of them saying you need a spewlchecker.

Keener: <runs over the reigndeer puns and decides to just try and keep
in step with the music> Give me a break, I posted the thing right before
AWA. I really didn't take the time to look at it too closely, I was too
busy getting packed. I was just hoping to get some feedback on the idea.

Krudd: Ah, mystewy fic. <holds bag up to audience and looks at it
lovingly> Hewe you go guys, I kiwled it, cweaned it, but didn't get a
weal good wook at it. Hope it tastes okay.

Keener: I am a bit annoyed that no got the basset hound joke. Don't you
guys watch anime? I'll give you a hint, Patlabor and Ghost in the Shell.

Krudd: Still a bit obscuwe, you've expwained it to me and I STILL don't
get it.

Keener: <sighs> Anyway, thanks, oh and thanks to everyone who responded
to my little cry in the dark for Uses of the Knife. I'm glad some people
did end up enjoying it afterall.

Krudd: Pwease, won't you pwease wead my fic?

Keener: <morphs into Pip> Please sir, I want some more... <ahem>

Krudd: Okay, you've said thanks, now what?

Keener: Well, I just want to let everyone know that I'm having a bit of
trouble keeping up with my E-mail this week. I had a FLOOD from hell
after AWA, considering I'm on like six different lists. Also, getting
the four days off to go staff a con means I don't get an off day this
week. Eight nine hour shifts and the big boss decided to come over and
check on us. Frankly, I just don't have the time to respond like I would
like. That DOESN'T mean I won't be responding. If you sent me ANY C&C
you will get a reply, it just might take me awhile. Please be patient.

Krudd: Fiwst wule of fanfetiquette...  wwite, weview, weply.

Keener: Oh, and one more thing <makes slashing motions with his hand,
the Mokonators stop puing Soul Man.> I'll be posting Sucide Blast real
soon. All revised, and fresh from the prereaders. <pulls off his
clothing to reveal a black Evangalion pilot suit> I hope you enjoy. Also
Ecchi Muyo is almost ready, Craft 54 IS a contiuing series and will go
on, and Sucide Blast 2 is finally going to be posted! Wai! Wai! <ahem>
Oh and if anyone wants to be a prereader, and you can stand getting
E-mail from me, I'd love to have you along.

Krudd: <in shock> Wha- what awe you doing?

Keener: Shameless plug.

Krudd: <shakes his head> No, I mean, what are you WEARING?

Keener: Shameless Plug Suit... <let's a Mokonator get an off the rim
shot and then camera fades, while Reality looks for some asprin>
