Summary

Edited for time (& to prevent the writer from going insane)

Yo! Diiman here.

We had a crazy awesome adventure today for TOA. There was this death threat on this cute little Drakk girl named Lorei. She is the daughter of Darco the head dude at the DDC. I like him, he makes all kinds of cool stuff and lets me use some his designs as props in movies. Like in Guns in Space where I used the rail gun to disable the bad guy's ship's rear right thruster which caused it to steer off course into their own fleet's support ships. Yeah that was awesome. And I also used the plasma... <snip> ... then she said, "that was the hairiest ass I've ever seen."

Anyway, we were supposed to protect the girl during the show because Darco was all like "I will not give in to these threats!" Yeah, that guy has balls. Lorei is small and cute, but she is not as cute as Ceelie. It's great when I give her little food and it is still bigger than her head. It is all like, "how is she going to eat that?" Then she munches on it until it disappears. I'm not really sure where it goes. I think that it would be much more difficult to find food that was bigger than Lorei's head. Would a Drakk girl even be able to eat that much at once? Hrm...

So Li had this great idea on how to protect Lorei. He'll use himself as a shield! How bad ass is that? They'll be all like, "We're going to kill you little girl." Then he'll be all like, "No!". Then BAM! And then "Hah, you did not harm her because I am awesome." It would be like that time in... <snip> ... then I said, "because there is no way that huge thing is going to fit in that little hole." But she made it fit somehow.

Yeah, so in order to practice blocking bullets, Li and I went down to the firing range in TOA headquarters. I grabbed a 9mm handgun while Li went and stood next to the targets. I started taking shots at the targets while Li tried to jump in front of the shots as I fired. It was awesome, the standard pistol rounds would bounce right off of his scales. I wonder how he is able to move around so easily with all that armoring. My body armor restricts my movements a bit, but something that heavy would be all like, "help I've gotten stuck in my own armor." Then the bad guys would all laugh at me. Seems like a bad idea. Note: never put that in a movie.

Oh and they have lots of neat weapons to practice with in the firing range. There was this awesome triple barrel shotgun that I was playing with. If you give the gun a good twist while shooting it, it causes this really cool spread pattern in the target. I also decided to play with their rocket launcher trainers. Unfortunately they don't explode, so it kind of made me sad after a while. Playing with those just isn't nearly as satisfying without the shattering kaboom. Explosions make everything awesomer. That time in Dial E for Explosion when we sabotaged the nuclear reactor on the evil Dr. Winklestein's volcanic island base was the awesomest. It was all like little boom, little boom, then lava, little boom, more lava, then the big fireball blew up the entire base, and then the volcano errupted spewing lava into the sea and the big ash cloud into the sky while we escaped on jet engine powered jetskis. Those jetskis were great. They don't turn all that well, but they really skip across the waves. You've really got to hold on tight or you'll fly right off. On the first take, I lost it on a 4 foot swell and hit the water doing about 70. I bruised my ribcage and dislocated my shoulder, but it was totally worth it to ride one of those things.

After a while Ceelie said that Tara had been doing some research on MISTIC and DDC. It was at that point that... she... brain... dump......

<thud>

Note from the supervisor

At this point in our meeting Diiman fell out of his chair. We sat him back in his chair but he just kind of stared at us blankly. After some encouragement to resume where he left off, Diiman suddenly ran to a drawer in the room and began rummaging through it. He then produced a pair of socks that he was wearing on his hands. The following was played out by Diiman using these "sock puppets." I somehow doubt that this is an accurate depiction.

Tara: Hey Lily, I'm doing some research on MISTIC. I think it might be useful to get some idea as to what was going on between them and DDC in the past.

Lily: Great idea. I will search on the computer.

Tara: And I will search through my local occult library.

Together: Together we are "Research Team Xtreme!"

<Diiman waves the socks around in the air>

Lily: It appears that MISTIC and DDC used to be fierce competitors in the past.

Tara: Yes, but now days they have gone into separate markets so that they are no longer in direct competition.

Lily: Oh look, I found this thing about an ex-DDC employee names Dr. Vren. It seems that he was fired for going against DDC ethics. He was... experimenting on Fate Weavers!

Tara: Oh no! Not that!

Lily: Yes! That!

Lily: It seems that he was trying to extract their fate altering powers.

Tara: I must find out more about this!

<Sock change>

Tara: Excuse me my good friend and occult bookstore owner, Mark. I was wondering where you kept the... really bad books.

Mark: What kind of book would that be?

Tara: Dr. Vren.

Mark: Ah... back here.

Tara: OMG Pants! It seems that just before Dr. Vren was able to find the fate altering organ in his experiments with the Fate Weaver, Darco found out and fired him.

<Sock change>

Tara: Hey Zii.

Zii: Hey Pokey. What's up?

Tara: Can I talk to a Fate Weaver here?

Zii: Yeah, of course. Edrey wouldn't mind talking to you. He's far out.

Tara: Great!

<Sock change>

Edrey: Whoah.... welcome Tara. What can I do for you?

<The Edrey sock puppet begins dancing around at this point and continues to do so for the rest of this. If I had to guess from Diiman's motions it would be disco.>

Tara: What do you know about Dr. Vren's experiment?

Edrey: Wouldn't you like to dance?

Tara: sure.

<Both socks are dancing>

Edrey: It was terrible and bad. The Fate Weaver in the experiment was named Pandemonium. She was the weaver of weather. We all loved her dearly.

Note from the supervisor

Diiiman began to dance around the room singing some ancient song from the 70's. We weren't sure how to get him to stop until Ceelie offered to shoot him in the ear with her little water gun. Amazingly enough it worked.

Ack! It's wet! How did I let her talk me into getting one of those. Oh, I was talking about the brain... dump...

Note from the supervisor

Sometime later we got Diiman to continue his report.

You didn't have to completely douse me. I'm soaked. The next day was the big day for us. The day of destiny. The day that we would doom our enemies to despair. It was D Day.
