_Strides out into the fray, ignoring villagers hacking at him, takes weapon from villager and snaps it in half, seemingly oblivious to the weapons bouncing off his body, continues breaking all the weapons in reach_ Carefull with that, somebody could get hurt. Here, better let me take that, Ooops, I broke it. … Oh, that weapon is clearly too large for you, let me make it smaller, Darn that didn’t come out right, you’d better go get another one. … Cut it out, that tickles! ---

_Strides out with long hair swaying. Male villagers are instantly captivated and seem a little distracted from the task at hand_ Sorry to rain on the parade but I don’t like it when things don’t go my way. And I’m afraid I’m going to have to hurt you. Don’t be fooled by the leather, this is not going to be any simple spanking 😉 ---

Right, well, this has been fun, but what say we speed things up a bit? :: causes the fabric of spacetime inside the remaining villagers’ bodies to expand beyond the capacity of the interatomic bonds to hold together :: There. That wasn’t so hard. 😃 Now we can all go inside and clean up a bit. ---

Douglas Adams made that the slogan for Millways as a reference to [this quote](http://www.bartleby.com/66/27/10627.html) from _Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland_. As far as our own situation is concerned, these impossible things come to mind: 1. Squck 2. RoboSquck 3. The Vale itself 4. CHUDs 5. A 1920s style Death Ray 6. The, er, “unique” characteristics of **EarthStone** ’s character And that’s not even mentioning my own control over space and time. ---
