And with that, a few things may happen. 1. Julie’s eyes roll back, and
she comically flops back, letting us look at the bottom of her feet.
2. Julie gets that “deer in the headlights” look, wanting to run,
but froze to her seat.
3. Julie drops her face, thinking she’s royally screwed, just before
Jon and Teresa maps out her life from now on, including who’s in
charge and where her life is going from now on.
4. PC snickers at my options and comes up with something
completely different
Ah good, sending her off to get GOOD info on the Empire and what it means
to be a member. I’m sure “honor, freedom, duty, and responsibility” might
not sound like much, but once the true meaning sets in, it means the world!
It’ll hit like a Kenjutsu, but not leave a bruise!
(yeah I had to look it up, forgot how it was spelt 😛 )
I still have a couple of shinai, for “play”
(which I haven’t done lately).
I remember sparring with someone once
and whirled around and whacked them upside
the head (temple?), dropped them cold for a
minute. The other person woke up, no damage
done, but spar time was over.
Of his 6 students, my teacher seemed to like to “tease’ me the most,
( I swear I’ll NEVER punch another terracotta pot again!) the most
with the Shinai, always landing 3-4 blows before I could block the first
one, I got better but talk about arm and leg bruises! He got my wrist
once, damn thing flew up and punched me in the nose. My own weapon
turned on me… (soft sobbing)
😛
Captain Chardis and Lady Taritha have a titanium set when
comes to going places to meet with core planets, although,
I’d say the hornies are the least dangerous of the lot.
I’ve been working on PC’s small, fast freighter and have it mostly complete
(I need to know how he envisions an energy cannon). I dropped a render of
it on my DA page and you guys are welcome to have a look see. I also did a
couple of renders of the ringship explorer in flight over a planetary surface.
I used NASA imagery to generate the planetary surface.
My DA page: https://www.deviantart.com/bmullins3/gallery
I dropped a pic of the Flash Gordon style ray gun/energy cannon
on the nose of the fast freighter plus a shot of it fully loaded. View
at your own risk but I do know where to get a coupon for eyewash
if you need it. I can confidently say my noodling is worth every
penny I charge PC for it.
Damn. Not making any accusations, but this morning TGW was over 1200
votes ahead of TK. In just a few hours, TK gained over 2700 votes.
When in the previous 28 days, it had averaged about 150 votes a day…
I wonder if he posted a vote incentive eighteen days ago or something.
I don’t mind a fair fight, but this is just pathetic.
If I wouldn’t get in trouble for saying it I would opine that something
funky is going on @ TWC with a couple of comics. GP is beyond
the pale. It is not only #1 but it has nearly twice as many votes as
KK in 2nd place with TK right behind in 3rd. If it wouldn’t get me in
trouble I’d SWEAR those strip were doing something.
But I don’t want to cause trouble so I ain’t saying nothin’.
just noticed: either they saw him (Cpt. Flink) coming from the other side.
or they improved IFF an comms…
cuz they Just came through and he has a message just for him.!

Always forget the “T”
Well, one of your four is pretty close.
heh.. the Bokuto is the wooden ‘long’ sword.
Kenjutsu is practice with it.
just like Bokken to Kendo..
🙂
edit: Shinai = bamboo
Shinai for when you want to whale on someone.
and not kill em,. “might” leave a bruise..
My sensei was a bit of an odd duck, never did get a clear idea
of what he was saying when he started to let his english
slip off heh.
All I knew at 16 was he was damned fast and those things HURT.
More so when all we worn was the baggy robes (Gei?)

*Of his 6*
jeez.. (jams both a dictionary AND a thesaurus in ear)
OW!
That look is too powerful for the lower ranks.
Mistrial normally reserves it for Captains and above.
She rarely has to say anything.
Yeah, she’s none too pleased…
And Kimi’s smile could mean SO many things….
Teresa and Johnathan are the only one’s
I can’t get a read on, yet.

You mean the spinal mounts? Just a simple hole will do.
They’re fixed, and run the length of the ship.
It may do for you but mine will have to be a tad more involved. 😉

WTH, yeah I had checked when I voted last night…
Now they are almost 2000 ahead. We’re gaining,
but not by much.

Judge fires both barrels.
Reloads.
Keeps firing.
Watch to the end.
Watch the man.
Watch the… yes, the FATHER.
Biology be damned.
