You know how it is. I start off with some lame attempt at humor, give the prompt, and then end with some pathetic appeal to get some responses. I mean, really! You could easily use the most general form of all Generalizations to describe this!

I don't want to resort to generalisations, EW, but I really enjoy the introductions to the weekly prompts!

In general, DT, I appreciate that type of comment!

Generalizations... wasn't that a Star Trek movie?

//Jason was ogling the blond girl as she was ordering drinks at the bar. He slowly, surreptitiously made his way closer to her. Boy, was she gorgeous. Tall, leggy, mini-skirted, tube-topped and all the rest. He squeezed his was next to her, back turned as he was trying to find an opening to speak to her while she was busy regaling her two girlfriends with tales of her escapades the previous night, along with her very strong views about the boys she had met. "I'm never, ever going back to that bar near the racetrack, ever again! I don't want to see any of those boorish drivers. No more talk about cars, yak yak yak about engines, yak yak yak about their scores. They are strictly off my list from now on!" Jason turned, a big grin on his face. "Well, sweetheart, let's not resort to generalisations about racetrack drivers now, shall we?"//

DT: LOL

Daniella: LOL! Hopefully, Jason's luck with girls will improve!

RIgirl: I wouldn't be surprised if when Jun goes home she slips a candy bar into his pocket or something.

LOL, Chris! Maybe a Three Musketeers *snerk* then he could share with Masaki and Oniishi!

LOL too perfect!

KT: At least she knows where she stands, and now the others do too.

KT: Aww, how sweet! A protective Condor!

"And if he wasn't damaged," Princess joined in, "he might become traumatized when he finds out that the shuttle from Quanto-Tobor Labs was hijacked and then crashed on Shui." "He was whining a lot about having to leave Center Neptune to get his regular overhaul..." Jason mentioned. "Alright." Mark sighed, "Princess, contact Post Auerbach." ********** "It's a shame you weren't able to uncrate me when the transport was hijacked, Keyop." 7-Zark-7 said to the Swallow, "I would have gladly shown that villain a thing or two!" He then proceeded to demonstrate his form of martial arts. The rest of G-Force stood in the corridor just outside Post Auerbach's sick bay with Dr. María Azeriaren, who specialized in Zeruda society. "The physicians say that your friend has a form of epilepsy, very much like a human being." she said. "Can he be treated like a human epilepsy patient?" Princess asked. "They believe so." Dr. Azeriaren replied, "A simple procedure should set him right." "Great!" Mark cried, "As soon as he's recovered from the procedure, we can drop him off where Keyop found him, and he can head on home." "Uh, I'm afraid that isn't as simple as you think, Commander." "And what does that mean?" Jason chimed in. "Since he was out in the open during the most dangerous time of day, and since he was having seizures, I believe he was banished from his family group." Dr. Azeriaren answered. The response was several small gasps. "This isn't unique to the Zeruda," the scientist gently countered, "Earthling considered people with seizure disorders to be demon-possessed for centuries." "But where does that leave our guy in there?" Tiny asked, jerking his thumb toward the sick bay, "We can't just dump him out there to die, especially since he saved Keyop's life!" "We can't just take him back to Earth with us, either." Mark added, "He might not be able to adjust." "Well, all of the scientists here discussed this. He can stay here -- if he will stay -- and maybe Qabil's group will adopt him." "Good." Mark replied, "We need to get moving. Jason, you and Princess see to peeling Zark away from his Zark-fu demonstration so Keyop will have a chance to say goodbye to his friend..."

DT: So Jason's gonna set her straight right? KT: Very sweet KT! Love the descriptions of the taloned princesses waiting to get Joe in their clutches! RiGirl: Ugh the fuss over the food. I was waiting for Jun to turn to RI and say "Yes, Dad" LOL. EW: Poor Quiver being abandoned by his family. But I'm glad to see that there's hope for him

EW: Aww, poor Quiver! But he gained a bunch of new friends and now has help - yay! Hmm, everyone not really eager to unpack Zark .. can't imagine why ... although I am surprised that they unpacked him at all! ("What? No, Chief, really. He was completely destroyed in the crash ... honest ....") Zark-fu ...

Originally posted by RIgirl Hmm, everyone not really eager to unpack Zark .. can't imagine why ... although I am surprised that they unpacked him at all! ("What? No, Chief, really. He was completely destroyed in the crash ... honest ....")

That was the main reason this response took so long -- each time I let Zark out of the box, the story would crash! (A couple of times he even triggered seizures in Quiver!)

EW: Well all that hard work paid off. The Zark part totally worked, LOL.
