I love it! Satori with the sword, and Lena’ll be grabbing that hoe any minute, woo hoo!

Awesome samurai Satori deals with demons devastatingly!

Only one problem…that demon came from one of those spores…and there are about a lebenty-gazillion other spores…

That’s my girl, Lena. Sic ‘em. Wow, this is FUN stuff, she says with a Valley Girl accent.

Satori should not put that sword away so soon.

Remind me never to make Satori angry.
Sisyphos said, 2 months ago

Quite so, mjolnir9! Their numbers are legion, and as good as Satori’s katana-skills are, the struggle is going to require a lot more firepower…at least an accordion!

As there is no room in my apartment for this bran spankin new Light of Epiphany, I am leaving it here on the end table next to the Couch. If I can find any room amongst the assorted treats, snacks, and delicious meals left by other couchies.

SMALLTOWN NEWS:
A Charity fundraiser was started this week when Charity Miller asked for a raise in her allowance. Her parents have yet to agree to the increase. Miss Miller has stated that if necessary, she will take her case all the way up to her grandmother.

The new movie, “Smalltown In Da Moonlight*” has proved to be so popular with local residents, that to increase seating capacity, the town’s theater owner has asked that his patrons bring in their own folding chairs.

*Refers to “Escanaba in da Moonlight” a real movie about a town in Michigan’s Upper Penninsula.

We appear to have topped out “yesterday” at 17 pages, 824 comments. That is very close to the record, as posted by [someone–who?] earlier in the day, though going back through all those comments to find the numbers would be a tad tedious, not to say time-consuming….
The Old Wolf said, 2 months ago

Wow. That’s the same move Blackthorne watched a samurai use to baptize his new sword, which Toronaga suggested he christen as “Oil Seller,” the unfortunate victim. The honor, however, was not to the victim but to the sharpness of the blade and the strength of the blow.

Satori is Win personified.

WARRIORS OF TWILIGHT

By ladywolf17

Chapter 7: The Prophecy

Lilith was chained in the dungeon. She began to laugh in an eerie manner. Kier had enough of this hideous laughter. It was driving him to the boiling point of anger. He stormed into her dungeon and demanded her to stop. “You are doomed to eternal damnation.” Lilith said and continued to laugh. “The prophecy is coming true.” Lilith said, getting Kier’s attention. “What prophecy might that be?” said Kier with interest. Kier slapped Lilith hard as she began to laugh again. Lilith spitting out blood, stopped laughing, gave kier a menacing, and spoke seriously. “The prophecy of the chosen, The Warriors Of Twilight shall end your reign of terror.” Lilith said, and started laughing again. Kier was fed up with this nonsense. He took out his sword and plunged it into the belly of Lilith, killing her. Lilith continued to laugh as her body burst into flames. Soon there was nothing left but ashes. “Stupid bloody whore.” Kier said as he went back to his throne. “Warriors of Twilight, what a crock of bull.” Kier said to nobody but himself. If it was indeed true what Lilith had said, then he was looking forward to the challenge. “Men mount your horses and prepare to ride.” The Kingdom Of Averlon was next on the Dark warlords list. Surely the warriors of twilight would appear there.

Chapter 8: Homecoming for Adelia

Razz and Adelia, accompanied by Scythe and Natasha now in her human form, entered the gates of the Kingdom Of Averlon. Razz marveled at the structure and beauty of the entire kingdom. He thought places like this only existed in fairy tales. They came up to the Averlon Inn and Tavern place. and paid for a couple of rooms.

Night had come. Natasha and Scythe decided to go to the festivities, while Adelia and Razz decided to go for an evening stroll. Natasha could tell that Adelia had a special night planned for Razz and herself. She knew that Adelia’s emotions and desires were now at their highest peak, since Adelia and finally mastered her full transformation. Natasha also noticed that Razz had changed as well. He had gotten much stronger, and was closer to Adelia now than he was ever before.

Adelia led Razz to the old oak tree in the field of white lilies. “This is a special place called Field Of Eternal Love.” Adelia looked into Razz’s eyes with her own and continued talking. “Razz I love you, and want you to feel the same way about me, even if I am a succubus.” Adelia said, as she held Razz’s hand. Razz was speechless, what could he tell her. He had never been good with words or emotions. He did love her, not because she was a new breed of succubus, but because of who she is. Adelia was a kind loving gentle soul. She deserved to be happy. She had chosen him to fall in love with. He searched deep into his soul and found the courage to show her that he loved her. Words alone could not describe how he felt. He decided to show her the only way he knew how.

Razz took Adelia in his arms and kissed her. He had accepted her. Under a full moon night with the sky full of stars, Razz proposed to her. Adelia was happy. She said yes to Razz and kissed him. They shared passion together and made love. Adelia knew that now was the time. They undressed and laid in the field of lilies. They watched the night sky for awhile and saw a shooting star. They looked at each other then. Adelia was ready. She had been waiting for this moment, and now it had arrived. She invited Razz to get on top of her. Then they began their intercourse with each other. With each forward thrust, the heat from their bodies began to build. The intense passion was overwhelming. The climax of the moment came. With the seed now planted, Adelia’s entire body began to glow, engulfing both her and Razz in it’s
tremendous flow energy The merging was complete.
……………………………………………………………………………………………..
Scythe and Natasha met up with Razz and Adelia later that night. “Wow! you guys must have really went at it, because the whole town is talking about a mysterious glow that came from the field of lilies.” Natasha said as Adelia giggled and kissed Razz.

Scythe and Razz went into the tavern and ordered a couple of mugs and a pitcher of beer. “Tonight I had proposed marriage to Adelia, and she accepted.” Razz said to his friend. Scythe stood up with his mug of beer. “Well then! I’d like to propose a toast. Razz may your life with Adelia be full of bliss.” Scythe said and offered his congratulations to Razz. Their celebration was cut short.

From outside a scream was heard. The Kingdom Of Averlon was under attack. The evil dark warlord and his army had arrived. Razz and Scythe ran outside. They were ready for war.

Ladywolf: You young devil: I’m thinking you only want to play Satori so you get two totally different parts - one with big Charlies.

Of course, that’s one way to get a bigger part…

Oh, and I apologize to all the ladies; I should have addressed all the ladies OF the couch yesterday. Not “on” the couch.

Edit; giving up on formatting for tonight

UncaAlby said, 5 minutes ago

might it be possible to combine a katana with an M16?

Now why would you want to burden such a beautiful weapon as a Katana with, as we Marines used to call it, a Mattel-16?

If’n you just want her to lay down alot of lead, an M-60 would be better.
Sisyphos said, 2 months ago

Thanks, AmriloJim. So, we seem to have set a new record!

Cheers for the Order of the Couch!
mjolnir 9 said, 2 months ago

Afternoonhandyman enquired about the number of zeros in lebenty gazillion…but, unfortunately, it’s difficult to come up with the exact answer. Lebenty-gazillion is a number I only use here on the Couch, so it is Escherian. Basically, the number of zeros is what I choose it to be.

Therefore: My choice is…that there are one less than lebenty-gazillion zeros in lebenty-gazillion.

Hope this was of some help to you.

azrach said, 2 months ago

Good going , Satori …. hopefully she can do something in reference to the enormous number of those burr-objects that presumably ALL house these super-demons. Gweedo M has an interesting speculation, looking back at the huge number of duplicate satoris that did a job on inky/spitcock. (Dec. 5 & 8. 2008). Now, the question is, can Roger program something like that to work on this side of the portal?
UncaAlby said, 2 months ago

@Afternoonhandyman said, 4 minutes ago

Now why would you want to burden such a beautiful weapon as a Katana with, as we Marines used to call it, a Mattel-16?

Well, you’re right, given the antiquity of the first weapon, we should probably use something a little older than an M16 anyway – maybe a Gatling Gun – ??

Didn’t the Chinese invent a similar type of crossbow? That might work. At least closer in age anyway.

But don’t listen to me, I’m rambling again. I have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about, as usual.

There was also one of the samurai movies where the swordslinger did the same thing (but without the blood showing up) I think it was the same guy who played the very stylish (cutting edgewise) samurai Kyūzō in “Seven Samurai”. (Really liked that character.) But it could have been Toshiro Mifune in Yojimbo

mjolnir 9 said, 2 months ago

DreamScourge enquired:

“There are things better than big charlies???”

While in complete agreement, with your basic premise - concupscience should trump carnage - I have to point out that size doesn’t matter…at least when it comes to charlies. Shape, angle of uptilt, texture, reality (remember that in today’s ‘Green’ Society that organic is always preferable to artificial)…all these things are just as important as ‘bigness’…
Sisyphos said, 2 months ago

UncaAlby, Afternoonhandyman, etc. M-16?
I should think you’d at least want a Phalanx Close-In Weapons System, if not “the world’s fastest gun”!

Nah - a blooper with beehive cluster rounds. Seriously soul-satisfying in a target-rich environment. (Some crazies in ‘Nam reloaded them with flechettes.)

Or a Chicago Typewriter, because it’s just cool.

Welcome Jim, have a seat on the couch!
mjolnir 9 said, 2 months ago

Every once in a while, I give in to my fatal urge to be realistic…

The only weapon that would have any chance of success is a flamethrower. Torch the spores before they bring forth fruit, so to speak. All it would take is one demon to get past your volleyfire and you’re dead. The spores, on the other hand, are presently innocuous (unless they get up your nose, maybe).

There…all fixed. Now all they need to do is stumble upon a flamethrower, all gassed up and ready to go….

I think a ‘magical’ solution, or maybe just Roger’s magic fingers on the computer as has already been suggested, is the only actual hope for saving the day.
Sisyphos said, 2 months ago

Welcome, Jim. to the Couch of Confusion!
Afternoonhandyman said, 2 months ago

Flamethrower….Hmmm…. Maybe Greek Fire?

Anyone catch the series where a bunch of historians and craftsmen re-created ancient weapons? I think it was called “Ancient Weapons”

Howdy Jim
I’m not sure about the flamethrower, much fun as that would be. All this stuff seems to thrive because of the fire.

Pibgorn and the Poltergeist in the Piano

About Pibgorn

A fantastic saga of adventure both high and low, of forbidden passion and iambic pentameter, of fays, fools, organists, demons, accordions, heaven, hell and Shakespeare, Pibgorn follows the whims and flights of its eponymous fairy heroine as she plies her conviction that there must be more to life than depositing dew drops on dandelions and sleeping under mushrooms.
