Roger is seriously smitten with Satori by this time. Does he get his heart broken? Will the Blue Fairy show up and turn Satori into a real girl? But first, will he survive his encounter with Drusilla? Oh, Roger - such a lucky boy…
“…corrupted her programming…” is a somewhat unusual locution for “stabbed her with a katana,” until we bear in mind Satori’s status as a Digital Maiden (which, to be sure, we all do). What effect do swords–even magical ones–have on a program, anyway?
I’m wondering about the impact of Rogers recent “adventures” back in the “real” world - you know, the place where the Igor the Teddy bear is filling in for the kids at dinner?
Roger is going to be …”difficult” I can see him now, some one trying to browbeat him and him saying/thinking “I’ve been threatened by demons, real demons. And getting killed was only a shock the first time …”
Either demons have radically different digestive anatomy, or Roger’s gullet is seriously displaced. Unless, of course, she meant “gullet” to be more-or-less synonymous with “gorge” — and I must confess that were I ever face to face (much less body to body) with Dru, my gorge would be somewhere around my eyebrows.
Main Entry: gul·let
Pronunciation: \ˈgə-lət\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English golet, from Anglo-French, diminutive of gule throat, from Latin gula — more at glutton
Date: 14th century
1 : esophagus; broadly : throat
2 : an invagination of the protoplasm in various protozoans (as a paramecium) that sometimes functions in the intake of food
3 : the space between the tips of adjacent saw teeth
Ladywolf17 said: “Story Teller thank you for that most enjoyable link.”
You are most welcome. I just wish I could have found a link with better sound quality. I am planning to buy the album that has both versions of “Banjo Fantasy” on it. I plan to use them as theme music if my super-hero story ever gets produced for video. Posting the opening sequence with the theme over it will be a much better quality version of the song.
See, this is why the Army likes ‘em young and full of testosterone.
The sergeant yells, “Take that hill!” and the teenaged boys yell, ”YAH! YAH! TAKE THAT HILL! TAKE THAT HILL!”
But when you’re like, 25 or so, you say, “Now wait just a doggone second here – there’s folks up there shootin’ at us and everything, you sure takin that hill is a good idea? Y’know, we could get ourselves killed!”
And while they’re arguing back and forth with the sergeant as to whether it’s a good idea to take a given hill, take a different hill, or just go home and have a couple of beers, the enemy (who has 16-year-old troops) overruns the base and wins the battle.
And I went up there, I said “Shrink, I want to kill. I mean, I wanna, I wanna kill. Kill. I wanna, I wanna see, I wanna see blood and gore and guts and veins in my teeth. Eat dead burnt bodies. I mean kill, Kill, KILL, KILL.”
And I started jumpin’ up and down yelling, “KILL, KILL,” and he started jumpin’ up and down with me and we was both jumping up and down yelling, “KILL, KILL.”
And the sergeant came over, pinned a medal on me, sent me down the hall, said, “You’re our boy.”
Well, if that’s all ya got, then that’s all ya got, and I suppose a little bitta sumtin is better than a whole lotta nuthin.

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.
