Session Start: Thu Apr 25 19:28:11 2002 * Logging #whosim to '#moelog' heather's online now did you read the recon, Cody? and by the way, thanks again, in advance, for the copy Wonder where that hospital gets it orderlies if their strong enough to pull a mad Angel out of the room np very true didn't think of that was just caught up in the shock oh, after having duped copies of episodes 7 -16, I've come to a conclusion ? *** DocEight has joined #whosim *** ChanServ sets mode: +o DocEight Hi Heather Hi Heather! hey everyone. sorry I'm late, I slept in. the conclusion is that I can't tell you cause heather is here now back in 2 then :-) :-D *** DocEight has left #whosim bak wb No, I did not get a chance to read the recon. oh, I concluded that the ending of "Hell's Bells" was very bad writing they made a deliberate effort to make it appear that the wedding would go thru for anya and xander, that's One things have been sloopy this season IMO *** DocEight has joined #whosim *** ChanServ sets mode: +o DocEight Oh thought you meant Angel and Two, there was nothing ever said to tell us that Xander's dad was an abusive alcoholic nope, meant Buffy, sorry to confuse you I remember that from way back we knew his family had problems but it was really hit over the head and overall, it was just a badly put together episode, in my opinion but on to the sim:-) So how's everything Tuna? and sorry you didn't get a chance to read the recon yet, yes indeed, how are you, Tuna? Remember Willow explaining that the reason Xander was always camping out in the backyard was to avoid the drunken fights of this parents Very good. A little tired tonight, but at peace with the world. hurray!! nope, didn't remember that and even so, I think it was very heavy-handed and not well written * DocEight goes serching for the script... kind of like a Deus ex machina, but done by the devil true really expected a different end to X's walk please join me in rooting for the Colorado Avalanche, they're playing in game 4 of the playoff series against the l.a.kings same here, cody spec on the newsgroups is that Josh hates happy endings Sorry, David, as a born-in-LA guy I alwys root for the Kings. Go Kings. Go Lakers later tinight. sorry, it's game 5 Now with that sports outburst out of the way... lol oh well, I won't hold it against you hehe and it's weird for a succesful guy to hate happy endings I think it means he likes doing bad things to characters Think it's the high school outsider coming out IMO CASTING CALL anyone? that could be it, though I was an outsider in high school and I always wanted a happy ending for characters I care about, anyway I mean, I watch tv to escape reality, not wallow in it ========= X-man ( Construction worker by day, rouge demon slayer by night ;-) ) This Queller Demon....that's the same one that What's his face called when Glory was around, right? yep yep groovy. righto do you remember Elysium, Tuna? Well named Queller ;-) <========Damon and Smithers I do a lil bit. Ad hoc, ad loc, quid pro quo, so little time, so much to know. since they don't have the tech that Riley had, I figured they could do a spell, and I figure magic works to a certain extent on this world I read the backgrround piece. Thanks. 8-D good good key word to remember Elysium from is : The Enigma Give me some character advice. it's also the adventure that had Keegan join at the end Whom should I play? anyone you want I was thinking maybe the administrator role, perhaps Smithers? and the Doctor at the mental ward? how about you, Heater, playing Giles presumeably? Doctor von Mer? ;-) oops, Heather < wow, I can't see what I am typing. brb> okey dokey *** Tuna has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) yes, I think so *** Tunax has joined #whosim *** DocEight sets mode: +o Tunax *** TheBrig sets mode: +o Tunax 1 up to me Cody ;-) <==== people on Elysium <<>> <> <<>> <> k *** TheBrig is now known as XanderAnya nick = drwalker duh # = Damon's TARDIS $ = at the clinic # :::with it's characteristic gentle warbling, and a soft bump, the TARDIS lands::: # Damon> Well, here we are, people, Elysium. # :::the whole gang is standing around in the console room:::: # > X > Hope there aren't any surprises on this planet # > A > And NO bunnies! $ :::Dr. Erin Walker goes on her rounds at the Arboreus Clinic on Elysium, smiling and whistling.::: # :::the TARDIS' appearance, from the outside, is that of small building, filling in the space between two other buildings::: # Smithers> According to the data banks, no bunnies were imported, only cows and chickens. $::Some rooms feature patients in floating beds, with various devices hovering near them.::: # > X > See, nothing to worry about $ :::Other rooms, far less comforting, have vats in which the highly muatted mass of a few unique genetic types bubbles with slight intelligence.::: # Damon> Now this is just a short stop, for reequiping, restocking, etc. $ :::Dr Walker turns away and returns to halls of gleeaming steel and green indoor plants.::: # > X > Cool, not dissing your food pellet machine but some real food would be nice # Damon> Anya, I'd like you and Xander to pick up groceries, etc :::hands Xander the list and Anya the money::: # Damon> :::looks at Smithers::: $::Dr Walker stops at a data station and takes a translucent video sheet into her hands and holds it up.
