Since this place is filling up fast, I thought I'd grab a little place of my own. It's kind of quiet and out of the way, but feel free to come on up. I'll put on a pot of coffee or there might be a couple of beers in the fridge (look under the wilted lettuce.) Kick back and take it easy.
Posted by Sonnie Boy on :
hey, nice place you got here Mister, cheers for the coffee too...mmmm mmmmm ... doncha just loooove caffeine!!
brought you a moving in present - a Legion Beanbag, all the best rooms have them you know...
Gotta go check in with a few more friends but keep the coffee on as I'm bound to pop back up soon.
Posted by Kid Prime on :
Yay! Matlock got himself a room! Good for you, guy! Drop by my place any time... we can play with my Transformers!
Posted by matlock on :
Sonnie, thanks for the official Legion World issue Beanbag chair! Those things are fiendishly comfy. And don't worry about the coffee, it's like at IHOP with the never-ending-pot-of-coffee. I take mine black, but there's some sugar and creamer on the counter. The non-dairy powdery totally flammable kind, cause that stuff rules.
KP, I still only have the van guy, whose name I keep forgetting. And also one of the little ones, the burgundy Tank guy. You'd think a tank would've been a bigger toy than a Walkman. But I can bring my G.I. Joe's, the little ones. I still have about 3/4's of their guns and equipment. And I had the big Headquarters set, too.

Hi, Matlock, is that coffee I smell?
Gosh it smells great! Strong too!
May I have some? I could smell it all the way downstairs. I hadn't heard that you had moved in up here. Looks great!

Wow, its a climb up here!
Heres a bottle of wine...
Enjoy!
Posted by Thriftshop Debutante on :
Hey, matlock! Attics have that great-place-to-read-comics vibe!
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Mind if I grab a hamburger? You seem to be out of pigs feet.
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Matlock, I didn't see you had picked out your own space! Here's another bottle of wine to go along with Danny B's. Mine's Pluberry, of course. If you need some help dusting I'm sure we can find a proty somewhere. They're really good for getting into those hard to reach corners.
Posted by matlock on :
Thanks for stopping by everyone! Varalent, if I'm out, feel free to grab a cup and kick back in the beanbag and hang out til I get back. Teeds, my long boxes are at your disposal, I'll leave my Marvel Handbooks out for you. FC, feel free to have a burger, but I'm afraid pan fried is all I can offer. I tried running the grill in here, but it smoked up the place something awful. (I'm saving the pig's feet for a special occasion.) Danny and L-Lad, thanks for the wine, I know I've got a corkscrew around here somewhere.
Posted by Pizzazz on :
I'm lost up here! HELP!
Posted by ferroboy on :
That's because you shut the attic door behind you without first turning on the light. Need a flashlight?

Posted by Pizzazz on :
No (uese her own light powers), Eww! What did you step in?
Posted by ferroboy on :
Who knows? My anti-radiation power also makes me immune to bad smells (which are, according to pseudo-science rules, a form of lethal radiation).
Posted by Pizzazz on :
I'll give you a form a lethal radiation, now come on, we have to find EDE's avatar in here.
Posted by ferroboy on :
What's that over in the corner behind the dusty stool?
Posted by Pizzazz on :
I don't know, it's covered in slime, go get it.
Posted by ferroboy on :
I'm not sure anti-radiation power covers slime. I doubt anti-wrinke power does, either. Do you have something handy to poke it with?
Posted by Pizzazz on :
Iron Up. (grabs his hand and pokes it)
How's it feel, hey, is it supposed to move?
Posted by ferroboy on :
Erm, it feels a little nelly to me.
Posted by Pizzazz on :
Why is it growing teeth?
Posted by ferroboy on :
I think it's mutated from sitting here in a dark, abandoned attic. Me, I never knew hats could have teeth.
Posted by Pizzazz on :
Eew, it looks hungry!
Posted by ferroboy on :
It is and the darn thing won't let go!
Posted by Pizzazz on :
AAAHHH!
(Shoots a laser at it and toasts it)
Opps, I didn't mean to melt your arm, I'm sure I can weld you back together.
Posted by ferroboy on :
Oooouuuch! Look, a little metal glue should do the trick. But if that was EDE's avatar we're out of luck!
Posted by Pizzazz on :
Ohh, I found his avatar in the box marked avatars. Let's go follow that stream of slime.
Posted by ferroboy on :
Wait, the glue hasn't dried!
Posted by Pizzazz on :
Come on.
(lights the way)
The slime goes this way.
Posted by ferroboy on :
Just a sec.
(Turns to flesh as his arm cracks loudly into place)
I g-guess I'm ready.
Posted by Pizzazz on :
Come on.
Eew, there are rats, everywhere!
Do something!
Posted by ferroboy on :
(uses anti-wrinkle power)
Hah, now they're flat!
Posted by Pizzazz on :
*Grrowwr*
I hope that was your stomach.
Posted by ferroboy on :
Ulp! That was _not_ my stomach! Where was that door out of here?
Posted by Pizzazz on :
(grabs his arm and slings him in front of her)
Don't be a baby. Get in there a kick some slime butt.
Posted by ferroboy on :
Fine. I guess I'll have to be the tough guy around here.
(steps forward with trepidition toward an uncertain fate)
Posted by Pizzazz on :
(pushes him)
I don't have all day.
Posted by ferroboy on :
Oh, sure, the only Legionnaire around pushes poor me into danger. But, fine...
(transforms and steps toward the slime)
Posted by Pizzazz on :
*Grrowr*
I think it wants an appetizer.
Posted by ferroboy on :
(looks around and spots something)
Maybe it'll like something from that box of avatars.
Posted by Pizzazz on :
SCREW THAT! GARY WORKS HARD ON THOSE! STAND BACK!!
(Blasts laser and shrivels the slime to dust)
Posted by ferroboy on :
Why didn't you just do that in the first place?
Posted by Rapture on :
(Walks into the place, see's the pile of dust)
Thanks for killing that. It's the last time I use that cook book.
[ October 30, 2004, 08:29 PM: Message edited by: Rapture ]
Posted by ferroboy on :
Oh, so this is all your fault? Sheesh! That darn thing caused me to temporarily lose my arm!
Posted by Pizzazz on :
Stop whining. It's dust isn't it? And I told you I could soder that back on.
Posted by ferroboy on :
Well, I'm not as resilient as Ferro Lad. And I don't have an active power like yours!
Anyway, there's nothing else creeping around here that Rapture left behind, is there?
Posted by Pizzazz on :
Nope.
(walks out and turns off the lights)
Posted by Rapture on :
You make one slime monster and they jump all over your back. Becareful or next time I might make you a slime monster and if you don't believe me, then just look at the serious face on my avatar. <---
Posted by Pizzazz on :
Oh, I hear she practices that magic stuff, plus the fact that she's a powerful telekinetic and telepath that could destroy your mind, makes her really scary.
Posted by Rapture on :
I don't think I'd go that far, just the normal torture stuff.
Posted by ferroboy on :
Torture, eh? I like kinky girls. Posted by Pizzazz on :
That's gross.
Posted by ferroboy on :
_You're_ making judgments? LOL!
Posted by Pizzazz on :
I'm a libra, it's my job to judge.
Posted by ferroboy on :
So am I. That's why I laugh at your judgments!
Posted by Pizzazz on :
That's it! I'm judging you!
(squints eyes in judgement)
Posted by ferroboy on :
Ha ha ha! That's me LAUGHING at that judgment!
(ducks out before she lasers off another important body part)
Posted by Pizzazz on :
CASTRATION!
(Lasers blast)
Posted by ferroboy on :
(Dodges and heads down a dark alley)
Posted by Pizzazz on :
Dark is nothing to one who can create enough light to challenge a small star.
(Radiates light)
Posted by ferroboy on :
(heads toward security)
I don't think Cobalt Kid will take too kindly to this castration vendetta you're on! Hmm...maybe this will spark that Pizzaz/Space Tart fight you've been itching for.
Posted by Pizzazz on :
I haven't been itching for it, and I'm a member of the Security Office and the boss wants my body, I think I have the leverage, especially because he made me promise not to castrate him the last time I had a castration spree. Poor Loser Lad.
Posted by ferroboy on :
Yikes! Well, I think Cobie likes me enough that he wouldn't want me castrated. I'm a bit attached to that part of my body - moreso than other parts.
Posted by ferroboy on :
Besides, even if Cobalt did want your body, if you allowed it you'd be contributing to his being a two-timer.
Posted by Pizzazz on :
His sexual frustration for me is what makes me so attractive to him.
To him, I'm the one that got away.
Posted by matlock on :
Ugh. This place looks like a tornado went through here. But nobody bothered the important stuff.
<opens a very low-tech hidden door behind a cabinet, revealing tottering stacks of dusty old bound volumes.>
People these days, always looking for the fancy high tech stuff. This is why I always made them give me hard copies of reports at the Security office. Drove Cobie crazy...
<places plastic dart in evidence stasis field on an old desk and reviews analysis from CSI chief Hutch.>
Hmm, "plastic dart bearing signs of machine manufacture, type unknown. No known match in Security office ballistics records." No, but there wouldn't be, would there. Not this baby.
<begins pulling volumes from the stacks, searching, restacking.>
Durn, I always said I'd organize these things. You'd think I'd learn. Here, this looks like it. Yeah...
<Reads from a faded printout of a news article dated April 24, 2807.>
"At a Galactic Law Symposium held yesterday, officials announced a measure to crack down on the unsanctioned but thriving business of the manufacture of non-ferrous projectile weapons designed to circumvent megnetics-based personal security devices commonly used by Law and Security officers galaxy-wide."
Of course! We've had our people shaking down the usual gun-runners and arms smugglers. But this thing isn't the next thing, it's so old I guess I'm going to have to go antiquing. Geez, the things I gotta do on the job.

-----------INCOMING MESSAGE---------------- Priority: IMPORTANT To: Matlock From: Jailbait Lass Cc: Cobalt Kid Topic: Attacks on Legion World
Matlock, I've recently been told by Shark Lad that you're back on Legion World and investigating this case. This is the best news I could have hoped for...I hope you can help bring down Cobie's would-be assassin with me. He's always respected you as a valued partner and master detective, and I've felt the same.
I've recently begun a new possible theory--or at least new train of thought that somehow might be useful. Some further investigation by Shark Lad and myself has given some more insight.
Let me know what you think. I'm currently at Medicus Two, after bringing in the John Doe, and I'll be stopping by Cobie's room for awhile before I go back out into Legion World.
