Okay, just to let everyone know... I'm still writing new material, but I'm at a point where almost everything (at the moment) is replacing notes or obsoleting stuff written years ago. The file size is not likely to change much in the next week or so, but rest assured that progress is being made.
As for where I am... well, I've just started writing the denouement. I basically have the story climax done (and thankfully my prereaders have no complaints about it), and I'm just hitting a couple of points on the way to the epilogues (which themselves are almost all written already).

There is no spork.

Another Pain submission. Hey, I like their goofyness even if they're pretty obscure Figured this song could give Doug really high resistance to damage, for times when he's getting the goo kicked out of him.
Pain- Suckerpunch
Im sick of only making peanuts.
Im sick of stale sandwich bread.
Ive got a plan to make it better
And it begins with a simple punch to my head.
Another count and Im down but Im wearing him down.
Keeping the faith that Ive got what it takes.
Deride my pride but Ill be alright.
Ive got a Rocky II lunchbox with bills in it
And Ill scrape by.
I have seen this on some episode
Of Maude, Fish, Chips, or the White Shadow
Rerun in my mind a thousand times
Though I forget the channel.
But I am back in my corner with ice packs and water
The champs right hook changing my good side to bad.
Too late to make a run for the van
The doc leans in timidly asking about my health plan
I can see the referee wants to go home
(homeys got a wife and family)
And my detractors clap their hands and blow their smoke
(Headline news in next days sportspage.)
With every second that goes by
I dont mind my swollen eyes.
Cause I bet on myself and Im making a killing.
My opponent planned victory, I planned to lose.
My bookie is crying, my wife thinks Im dying
But Ive got a nest egg thats hatching in the final round.
And as I fall to the floor I dont feel so hardcore
My teeth swinging loose like a drunk girls caboose
My boys in the corner are pensive and somber
And Father OReilly is crossing himself more and more
I can see the referee want to go home
(Homeys got a wife and family)
And my detractors move their feet and blow their smoke
(Headline news in next days sportspage).
Cause I bet on myself and Im making a killing.
My opponent planned victory, I planned to lose.
My bookie is crying, my wife thinks Im dying
But Ive got a nest egg thats hatching in the final round.
And the room spins round and round
The victory partys at my place
After my loss and my disgrace.
Cause I bet on myself and Im making a killing.
My opponent planned victory, I planned to lose.
My bookie is crying, my wife thinks Im dying
But Ive got a nest egg thats hatching in the final round.

Hello, it has been quite a while since we last conversed. I haven't seen you around alt.fan.bgcrisis lately. I trust that all is well with you.
You may recall that in January 2001, you asked if I could draw a picture of Lisa Vanette dressed up as "Sailor Loon". Now, I had forgotten all about this until I chanced to come by your website a while back, and also when I reviewed my old art archive. I am no longer satisfied with the picture I drew, so I've made a new one:

Could you replace the old one with this one on your site? I'd appreciate it greatly. Also, you'll need to update the link to my website- it is now:

_Behind Blue Eyes_ by the Who
www.lyrics007.com/The%20W...yrics.html
Effect: internal only, while the song plays he can only move the distance normally enclosed by his field at the time it starts or not at all, but no measueable time passes in the outside world. To him the song is like going off somewhere private for a couple hours to calm down: any extreme emotion, from murderous rage to suicidal depression to delerious happiness, is evened out to "a little lonely, but resolute." Externally inflicted effects (psychic, drugs, whatever) are also broken by using it, but of course will start to take effect again afterward if the psychic is still attacking or the drug is still in his bloodstream - in game terms, it's a free resistance attampt without any cumulative resist penalties that may apply.
As an aside, has anyone heard the Limp Bizkit version of this song? It's apparently word-for-word accurate except for a bit of added 'tell it!' type stuff in the bridge, but knowing the kind of stuff Limp Biskit does it's probably a lot more agressive sounding - a version to work on a target person, perhaps?
Incidentally, I find this song to have the mental effect listed for myself, if I can think to play it when overwrought and concentrate only on listening for the three and a half minutes it runs. Most people who know me not not to bug me when I'm listening to 'Behind Blue Eyes' :?)

While I was running through my collection I came across this song that might be a possible way for Doug to move on to antoher world just not his home one.

Like Doug needs _another_ flight song, but...
Fly Away (Lenny Kravitz)
I wish that I could fly
Into the sky
So very high
Just like a dragonfly
I'd fly above the trees
Over the seas in all degrees
To anywhere I please
Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah
Let's go and see the stars
The milky way or even Mars
Where it could just be ours
Let's fade into the sun
Let your spirit fly
Where we are one
Just for a little fun
Oh oh oh yeah !
I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah
I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah
I got to get away
Feel I got to get away
Oh oh oh yeah
I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah with you yeah yeah
Oh Yeah !
I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah with you yeah yeah
I got to get away
I want to get away (4x)
Yeah
I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah with you yeah yeah
I got to get away
I want to get away (4x)
Yeah
I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah with you
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah--

I remember, back in the late 80s, seeing a video from michael jackson, a badly animated video with him dancing with the Elephant Man's skeleton.. one of the lyrics scraps I remember appears to be the chorus
"Just leave me alone (leave me alone)"X3
but I can't remember the title, and I can't find it with a preliminary search of MJ Lyrics sites, and my skull hurts too much to continue, so I'm going to take some percoset and go to bed.

Okay, sorry.
So will this be before or after Buckaroo's second wife's death?

What in the world is DW IV? You skip right past it and I don't know why I never noticed it before.
-murmur

You know, having finished reading TokyoPop's Kodocha manga (haven't finished the anime because I can't find the anime. Grr. Darnit), a good point to insert Doug the Bodyguard would be just after or just before Sana's attack by Naozumi's crazed fans. It'd make sense that Rei would want more protection for Sana after that incident.
But how would that effect the rest of the series? After all, it's a big deal that Hayama goes alone to find the suicidal kid and would Doug leave Sana's side as she is his principal?
But that doesn't stop Doug from surrepitously healing Hayama of his nerve damage. So that could be the point in which the series diverges. What changes would build up as Hayama's father doesn't need to send his family to the U.S. and Sana's emotional break doesn't occur (or does it?)
And so on.
Something to think about.
-murmur
Doug: Hey, what's that!
Hayama: . . .
Doug: Just turn your head and look!
Hayama: Why?
Doug: Um . . . it's a dinosaur!
Hayama: Really?
*clonk*
Doug: Now for some covert musical healing, moo hoo ha ha!
