Maybe I’ll have Warlord Serlin use the term “glibbering idiots” over and over whenever his (idiot) servants fail at a task. And, to Fierra, I DID model the battledroids after those lil’ buggers in TPM. It only seemed appropriate (of course, I reserve the right to remodel them between now and the publication of the first ish). ---

Bah. In the process of tranferring a load of glibbering baboons to my cave, Weirddave accidentally included himself! \ Get outta my cave before I hex you. Ah well…it’s a mistake anyone could have made, I suppose. 😃 Fortunately, I now have a location fix on his lair, and can go pick up the lovelies in person. He can’t sequester them for the duration of the conflict–they, too, are champions in the battle against ignorance. They don’t need a hiding place, they need an HQ! I humbly offer my very large, luxuriously-appointed cave for the purpose.

Interesting idea, fierra–but good or evil, I’ll still fight ignorance, so is it really germane? Hmmm…well, I suppose you’d want to know before you actually _drank_ the potion I gave you… ---

Hot tub? Did you say hot tub? :: Fierra runs to Balance’s cave & checks :: Yup, hot tubs, but you’ll have to get rid of the baboons first! Hi Balance, I did ask to be drawn sexy, so I guess I count, but I’m not going to drink any potions, if you don’t mind…(and even if you do mind!) ---

Ha! Take that! \ Serlin’s computer-confusing gremlin has been destroyed. Now back to what I was doing… \ Welcome to my lair, Fierra. Would you accept a potion if I referred to it by its more plebian alcoholic-beverage-of-your-choice name? I promise I’m not evil today. Well, maybe just a little evil 😉 ---

Why does every thread turn into a flirting thread? 😉 Do I get a back rub too? I’ll have a well, I’ve heard it have two names, so I’ll just give the recipe - equal measures vodka, tequila, creme de menthe & lemonade (soda if you’re American). (I nearly asked for a “cum in a hot tub”, but I do want an alcoholic beverage & some company, not you to disappear off on your own…vodka & baileys, BTW) ---

Cool! Quite the Artist. If you need a “Q” type character to develop weapons for the good guys, I’ll gladly provide my services. The first offering will be a remote controlled, flying miniature condensation generator. Once activated, they seek out Warlord Serlin’s diapers, attach them selves and act as a wick to transfer moisture from the air to the diaper. 😃 ---

Cripes, how did I miss _this_ thread? SPOOFE, you’ve got some _serious_ talent here. Any chance I can suck up enough to said talent to get myself in this thing? I leave it to others’ demented imaginations to figure out what kind of hero I’d be (though I’m definitely partial to the name Captain Sarcastic). Extremely cool beans, though, with the comic and the drawings and the talent and all. ---
