Was Ryu once refered to as the Dragon by someone?
or was that a chocolate/ wagon wheel infused delusion on my behalf?
LW...don't think it was mentioned in the show...but Ryu's name means "dragon"...is that what you were thinking?
My thoughts immediately went to this...

Springie, that was the first thing that came to my mind, too, but I'm actually using that episode in a fic, so I won't touch it here.
KT, I could see Jun spewing fire when her cravings aren't immediately fulfilled.
KT: I'm reminded of a fic where Chief Anderson comments that Spectra doesn't attack on the 2nd or 3rd week of the month, to avoid an enraged, hormonal Swan.
The next instalment of Club Aphrodite (I keep wanting to go a little silly and Ken insists on being so damn serious!):
Ken hated commercial flights. He enjoyed being at the controls, the freedom of the sky stretched out ahead. Seated where he couldn't see out front made him feel robbed, denied one of life's greatest joys.
But he was supposed to be on vacation. Rubbing his sore arm, he tried to ditch the grumpy look, not amused at Hakase sending an agent to the airfield this morning. A contraception shot? Really?
He dug through his carry-on for a distraction, pulling out the smartphone he'd been given for this assignment. Research had led him to extensive documents on the day's popular party drugs. Since all of them were legal at Club Aphrodite, and he was supposed to blend, he figured he'd better know what they all did. If he had to choose the least of the evils, he needed to know which ones were okay.
As he read, Ken vacillated from disbelief to horror, then triple-checked that the document was legit. Who the hell took drugs that could cause flashbacks for life? That could cause hallucinations, even terrifying ones? Or could burn out the brain's ability to feel any kind of pleasure, permanently?
And the names. They were as strange as Galactor mecha. Angel's Tears. Dragon's C*ck. Hallelujah. Happy Pants. Choosing the least unpalatable option was tough. Some required him to be vigilant, such as constantly drinking water so as not to overheat the brain. Others supposedly lowered inhibitions to the point that vigilance was impossible. He had an identity to protect.
Frustrated, he decided to work backwards. Anything that caused hallucinations was far too dangerous. He could kill an innocent person or a whole crowd if he had a "bad trip." When it came down to it, really, he didn't have a lot of options. If he absolutely had to take something, he'd have to choose one that focused purely on sensation.
All he could hope was that the drugs weren't that popular. Fruit drinks he could handle. Even if he wasn't there on assignment, he'd have no interest in getting high. He had to wonder if Hakase knew him at all, sending him to a place like this, and telling him it was to help him relax. He'd felt less stressed while infiltrating a Galactor base than he did now.
Ken sighed and turned his attention to the club's activities. At least there were some things he could enjoy there. Snorkelling. Scuba diving. Even just running on the beach. Maybe he'd meet some people to hang out with that way, people who weren't all about drugs and one big party. Somehow, though, he doubted life would make it that easy.
lborgia: Oh I love that, I can really see him going back to BC Island as he tries to deal with being a cyborg. And I love the St. George and the dragon parallel!
I adore Ken but I do love to make him miserable.
Originally posted by KT1972 Chris - Are you another on who likes to drag things out? I really want to know how Ken copes on his vacation.... somehow I really don't see this as an assignment, more like an elaborate rouse to get him to chill out for a while, he sure needs it. Looking forward to next weeks post......I do like to drag things out, I confess.
That's part of the fun!

LB -- nice intro for Joe's new life and mission. I don't know the series with Joe as a cyborg very well, but fics like this make me want to read more about it.
KT -- ahhhahhhhhahhhha! It'd be interesting to see what Jun did, to make Jinpei ask that question

KT - that wasn't what I meant when I said that I wanted to see more of that story!!!!! But I'm glad your'e still working on it!
Chris - I'm with Ken on this one! None of that stuff sounds like what I'd want to do, and I'd stay far away from that kind of stuff, no matter where I was! I hope Ken doesn't have to take anything, but seeing as he's settled on the 'sensation' drug being the 'least harmful' I'm guessing you have something in mind there. Poor Ken!
LB - I can see this happening... except, how did the girl recognize him? Does Joe look like his father? Did she know Joe's father? Wouldn't she have been too young? And isn't Giorgio Asakura supposed to be dead? She knows too much... maybe she's somehow connected with Nambu?
Regardless, I can see this fitting in with canon very well, and I thought you painted a smooth picture of Joe's change of heart as he commits himself to his new role in life.... such as his 'life' is.

Originally posted by Transmute Jun Does Joe look like his father?In the Gatch episode, the cemetery groundskeeper and the mayor commented how much Joe looked like Giovanni Asakura, and that's what compelled Katse to have "little George's" grave dug up to see if there was actually a body there. So I think it's possible the girl could have known simply by paying attention to the stories the older folks told.

And GII is great about exploring how much Joe hates what he's become.

I have this odd urge to have him send Joe a postcard. Something like "Wish you were here ... instead of me"

Chris - It just gets wrose for Ken. I love the contraceptive shot. Is that what Joe gets on a regular basis, along with a shot for STDs?
LB - That's a great piece on Joe. Are we going to find out how the young woman knew he was a George?
Originally posted by Becky Rock Chris - It just gets wrose for Ken. I love the contraceptive shot. Is that what Joe gets on a regular basis, along with a shot for STDs?I thought about Nambu arranging a pre-emptive STD shot for Ken too, and deciding that might be pushing things.
But for Joe, yes, I'm sure he does!
Originally posted by Becky Rock Are we going to find out how the young woman knew he was a George?Well, I deliberately left that vague though I had various notions in my head -from "mystical" to "her own family was involved in Galactor too and she'd learned things about the Asakuras, but she was young enough that Karakoram happened before she had to serve -and she's very grateful for that."
Originally posted by Transmute Jun And isn't Giorgio Asakura supposed to be dead? She knows too much...Well, Alan said in ep. 81 that he'd always thought George might still be alive, though in the case of this girl, she could have known (as EW said) that Galactor had dug up his grave in ep. 81 and didn't find a body in it...
Chris W--great insight into Ken's mind on this one...Love the little bit of thinking that perhaps Dr. Nambu doesn't really know him all that well...poor kid.
Somehow he doubted life would make it that easysorta says it all, doesn't it? LB- loved this, as I don't really know all that much about the second series, it feels like you tied it all together quite nicely. The scene in the church especially poignant as was his memories of Alan. Good job.

nothing wrong with condor related smut..... my favourite kind
Much, much as I wanted to produce some Condor smut, it would not happen...my muse was insisting that I look elsewhere, so, this week's contribution will revolve again around Anderson and his efforts to engage in smut...sorry in a relationship, with the formidable Dr. Sarah Petrides:
//Anderson was putting the final touches to the speech he was going to make at the conference the following week, the one where Sarah had agreed to accompany him in order to speak about the latest scientific developments in the war against Spectra, which had broken out earlier in the year. He felt a bit guilty of leaving the team for a weekend, but as soon as he mentioned it to Mark, the Commander's look of scorn was enough to make him feel guilty that he felt guilty. So he buckled up, confirmed his participation, confirmed that Sarah would indeed accompany him, and set out to prepare his speech. Only he couldn't.
He was confused. For Anderson, this was a rarity. He was confused because, while he felt that his one and only thought should be how to help G-Force face Spectra, he was instead thinking, occasionally, of Sarah. The fact that he had recently reprimanded Mark and Jason for focusing too much -- according to the Chief -- on girls and not so much on their mission, did not help. He dreaded to think what Jason would say if he found out that the strict, almost inhumanly duty-bound Chief, was pining away for a fellow scientist -- and occassionally even thinking of a young Rigan envoy to Earth.
There was only one way to deal with temptation, he thought resolutely. Give in to it. He picked up the internal phone, and called Sarah.
"Sarah? It's Ander...sorry, it's Jack, am I bothering you?"
"Jack! I'm finishing my speech! Do you want to get together to work on it?"
"Great, I was thinking the same, I want to show you mine. My speech, that is", he finished lamely.
"Great! How are you for time?"
"I'm swamped here. How about you?"
"Me too," Anderson replied, thinking that it was a rather dumb question: he was always busy, didn't she know it? But he mentally kicked himself: this kind of knee-jerk reaction was to be avoided, Princess had made it clear to him many times. Calm down. Get a grip. This is not Spectra you're dealing with, this is your FRIEND.
"Listen, I've got a meeting with President Kane this afternoon. We've got some new intel from Spectra we need to analyse. How about dinner?"
"Dinner?" she sounded dumbfounded. Anderson looked at his handset in disbelief. What? Couldn't he invite her to dinner?
"Yes, Sarah, dinner. Where we eat, you know, drink, you know, like normal people do."
She laughed.
"Sure, Jack, it's just that I thought you'd never ask me to dinner again after Valentine's Day!"
Anderson reddened. It was true, much as he had enjoyed their dinner together, it had not been repeated. But he DID see her every day in the cafeteria for lunch, didn't he? That had to count for something.
"So, you like Chinese?" he blurted out.
"Oh yes," she almost moaned. "I looooove Chinese! How did you know?"
Anderson didn't, but he wasn't letting on.
"Great then, I know this old-fashioned Chinese restaurant called The Beijing Dragon. Shall I pick you up at Centre Neptune garage at 8?"
"Okay, Jack. See you then!" she said cheerfully and hung up.
Anderson was left looking at the phone, wondering, once again, what he was getting himself into.//
Originally posted by k2p2 Frankly what first came to my mind had to do with a domino set I got for Christmas one year..."Double Dragon." I had no idea what that meant.I'd also been toying with another myth-based phrase, "sowing dragons teeth," (ie. "to take some action that is intended to prevent strife or trouble but that actually brings it about") but liked St. George and Dragon better.
Originally posted by Daniella T He dreaded to think what Jason would say if he found out that the strict, almost inhumanly duty-bound Chief, was pining away for a fellow scientist -- and occasionally even thinking of a young Rigan envoy to Earth.So Andrea is not entirely out of the picture?

Jinpei crept slowly down the corridor, Ryu at his side. They stopped just short of the intersection, listening carefully.
They didn't hear anything.
"I'm going to check for traps!" Ryu announced, melting into the shadows and rounding the corner. Jinpei stayed behind, alert and holding his weapon at the ready.
"K'so!" Ryu fumbled and the sound of a primitive alarm echoed through the area.
"I need help, Jinpei!" Ryu cried, but his partner was already rounding the corner. Jinpei's eyes widened as he saw a horde of green enemies barreling down upon the hapless Ryu.
"Some rogue you are!" Jinpei snarled, attacking the closest enemy at hand as he plunged into the melee.
"If you don't like it, why don't you invest in some sneaking skills?" Ryu shot back, even as he backstabbed an opponent.
"Next level, maybe I will!" Jinpei replied.
"Now, boys, if you can't get along, I'm going to stop the game." Jun chided.
"No, Onechan!" Jinpei whined.
"We'll behave, Jun." Ryu muttered, shame-faced. "You know how much we love your Dungeons and Dragons game. You're the best Dungeon Master we ever had!"
"And don't you forget it!" Jun smirked. "Now where we we? Oh yes, two dozen angry goblins attacking you for breaking into their castle. Jinpei, you're up!"

I just thought of her as some random..
Thought it would be interesting to explore the possibilites of a civilian finding out who a team member was, expecialy one that had some idear about the lengths ISO would go to to keep it a secret.
She would be declared dead, moved "somewere" and maybe never heard of again.
Unfortunely Ryu may agree, as she is now a liability to him and the team and as such needs to be "dealt" with

Chris W- Thanks, although you're no slouch yourself when it comes to vivid writing. I am really working on hard on the 'showing,' not 'telling,' aspect of my writing, and this scene seemed to be the perfect vehicle for it.
Littlewolf--I am honored, from a writer of beauty herself.
TJ-The thought of flinging oneself from a moving aircraft seems pretty scary to me, and to one such as Iona that has an intimate knowledge of velocities, it would likely be moreso...that was what I was trying to get across.
No-nope-nada- on the winged uniform...the only thing she has is a suit made of Nomax...that I borrowed from my brother's racing days, and I think all that is, is fireproof...
KT-Thanks, like I said before, I've been working on the whole, showing versus telling thing...glad it came across...and yes, I was also trying to get across that whatever is coming Iona's way..she's got some awesome backup..

And it showed a very playful side of the team, while at the same time how much they care for her that they weren't letting her stay in the ship just in case (and making sure she had a parachute rather than just trusting they wouldn't drop her).

Originally posted by ChrisW it showed a very playful side of the team, while at the same time how much they care for her that they weren't letting her stay in the ship just in caseIt was a lot of fun to write...I figured, even if the older members aren't really teens anymore, I put them in their early twenties...they can still be rather childlike at time, and this would be something 'fun,' for them to do..
(and making sure she had a parachute rather than just trusting they wouldn't drop her).Well, not really sorting out the physics of it, I figured there had to be some sort of fail-safe in case things went really wrong...Like if she fainted, them trying to hang onto dead weight would be a lot harder...if not impossible...
I also hadn't realized that she didn't have a birdstyle ... is it a matter of "yet" or that she'll never have one?Shaking the 8-ball reveals, "answer unclear," but really Iona's position on the team was essentially done to free up Ryu, as well as handle the complexities of a newer and better Phoenix.

Trouble is, a brand new situation where I am far up off the ground...I will faint..Bad news first time I went up in a ski lift. Thankfully my friend is quick thinking, kept talking, and by jamming one of my poles across my chest and into the arm bracket, kept me from slipping through.

got condor smut that doesn't end well, just waiting for a Bradbury to put it in
maybe we need a Bradbury thread entitles "Random smut", with a weekly theme
oh squeal -
Nambor shows them into the room , he looks embarressed.
"After carful discussion it was deemed that this was necessary, spectra's mode of torture has diversified, and I am unsure if certain members of the team will know how to resist, or not.."
He look directly at the condor.
"We have arrange a tight schedule that we would prefer you to stick to, starting of small and working your way up"
Condor sniggers, Nambor sends him a stern look.
"But sir, we have been train to resist these type of torture" Ken indicates the shackles on the wall, the whip and leather mask .
Nambor clears his throat as ken plays with the bells at the whips end and begins to pull out more objects from the box.
Condor sniggers, Nambour glares.
""Look Ryu we got snacks" Jinipe opens another box" whipped cream, chocolate sauce, cherrys, we can make a sunday."
Condor sniggers, Nambour pops another head ache pill.
Ken holds up an object that is vibrating and the top half is swiveling around "Ah sir, what type of torture would spectra be using this for?"
Condor looses it and is on the floor laughing, Nambour has turn bright red.
"Juns got one of them, box said it was for stress releif" Jun quickly graps the swallow before he can say anymore, using a near by roll she quicly tapes his mouth shut
"Stress releif, do you use it for your shoulders ,Jun?" Ken places the rotating cylinder near his shoulders "not bad but, think the noise would annoy me"
Condor has completely lost it, grasping for breathe he is unshure weither to look at Ken or the the red faced Jun.
Nambour upends the pill bottle into his mouth.
Ryu is creating food art, that resemble to white mountains with cherries on top, he leans over and slowly licks up the mountain using his tongue, he then adds some of the special ingrediant chocolate sauce, and smiles knowlingly.
Jun is slightly intreged by way Ryu is savouring the whipped cream, Ken looks confused as he pulls out more objects from the boxes, the swallow looks hungry, the condor is beginning to like this assigment more and more.
"Sir?"
"Ken... no more...uh look we have some very uh enthusiastic volunteers from Gatchamania.. The Project is called ..uh The Rubber Room...don't ken... no more questions, I will let our volunteers explain"
I have such a wicked muse...

LOL LW ... I somehow imagine that box holds endless confusion for Ken. Joe might hurt himself from laughing so hard, it sounds like Nambu's going to need his stomach pumped, Ryu and Jun might sneak off somewhere, and Jinpei will just think it's all strange toys.
Evil EW strikes again.... Just love it!!!!

TJ - suggestions for prompt, now winging it's way through cyperspace to Bradbury's Jar
LW, I needed that, but laughing so hard is rough on an upset stomach.
My DH wanted to know why I was snickering and covering my mouth with my hand to hide it. That's when I lost it.
Laughing, that is.
" Becky Rock quick, come in here"
I quickly pull her into a little side room, putting my fingers to my lips indicating silence.
"Does your DH like dressing up?, doesn't matter"
I look around, hopeing not to get caught. I move to an air vent and pull of the cover, reach in and pull out a box.
"Okay, I heard you weren't feeling well, so I made you a care package, okay homemade chicken soup, pink stuff for an upset stomach, the condors pillow, hmmm still smells like him, oh and some of his aftershave, one of his t-shirts incase you want something to sleep in, a feather, don't look at my like that, my mum collects ink wells I needed some new quills for her and a pair of his old gloves, I couldn't find a condor plushie doll for you to hug when your in bed, I'll have to make one soon, if only I could get a pair of his socks..what? oh I'd use them to make sock monkeys/ creatures it's a new hobby. Anyway I digress, okay there's other feel good stuff in there for you, okay , big hug, hope you feel better soon, got to go before I get missed, later"
I look out the door in both direction, the coast in clear, I flatten myself against the wall, trying to be sneaky, pretending to employ my non-existing ninja skills and knowing I need lots and lots of more practice.
and silently sending Becky Rock "get well soon" wishes
blast, I forgot to include the photes of project "Rubber Room" in her care package, ah well don't want her going into shock when she's already feeling unwell.

LW - OMG!!!!! Thank you so much!!!
I have a double wammy - I'm on some heavy-duty antibiotics for an infection and that's what made my stomach upset. Unfortunately, with this antibiotic, you can't take any anacids or magnesium, so no relief possible. I do feel a little better today.
This is probably TMI, but I'm extrememly ticklish everywhere. DH keeps threatening to get a feather to use on me and I doesn't get it when I lose it. I just haven't been able to bring myself to tell him why. He's not a sci fi fan and doesn't understand my fascination.

EW -okay I need to know the basics,
did you have to sneak out suddenly?
Is he holding certain "items" as a negotiating tool?
How big are these items and can they fit into a small knapsack?
Are they yours or are you asking for trophis?
Do you know were he is keeping them? and are they ina safe location?
let me know and we will start recon.
PS crack open the piggy bank we may have to bribe some people for information.

This puts a whole new spin on things.
I'm going to need different equipment for this Treasure Hunt and political asylum if things go wrong

I won't rush you -- I can be very patient for things I consider worthwhile.
And congrats on the new foster baby! I wish you the best of luck with bringing the darling into a more loving environment!
