Looney Toons in the Shell |

Ya know.... Ghost in the Shell might be an interesting place for Doug to make a stop-over. It's similar to BGC in tone, but the attitude towards androids and cyborgs is much closer to what he's used to... it'd make for an interesting contrast...

After reading a question about a self-simulacra song in the chapter 12 commentary thread, I had this song jump to my mind as the one to do it.

Taking your later reply to an annoyed Brit into account:
Try this on for size...
Doug lands in modern London...but it's a dark twisted Dickensian London, and there are all those feral elf-kids and (IIRC) large talking rats running around.
And just when he's getting a handle on the Borribles world, along come a bunch of bewildered adventurers from Oerth looking for the Mace of St. Cuthbert...
(This could set up a next Step, as presumably he wouldn't have time to find a gate song and would settle for following the Slayers-wannabes back to Greyhawk one step ahead of the London constabulary...)

Quote: This actually makes more sense in a way than Eyrie Productions Undocumented Features universe. There it seems that (unless I'm missing something) the Norse Pantheon is the one that's made a real comeback, but no one else. The Norse haven't been actively worshipped in centuries, and now they're manifesting? What gives?
I understand it as "the Norse pantheon is 'correct' insofar as it assigns the correct names to the deities, but those are merely facets of who/what they really are." We see this when Eris/Peorth is talking about who she is in Twilight... It seems like Bob is taking a similar, yet more vague tack here...
Quote: This is fun for the story as long as we keep to the cardinal rule "don't examine this too closely", but it does make me wonder from time to time, what the heck is up with all the other pantheons, not to mention the Judeo-Chistian mythos? (That last would get into some potentially dangerous territory if not for the cardinal rule above.)
Redneck addresses this. "G-d" is Odin. Other races worship other deities as their one god, based on what they value in their god... I think the Gamilons worship Tyr as "Kru the Destroyer" or something...
Quote: I mean, I see Belldandy, as she's presented in AMG, as her own entity, not an avatar or filter. Your method of presenting things so far makes me wonder what, in your version of AMG, she really is. And who she is, as well. I mean, Belldandy really loves Keiichi with all her heart. Does that apply to her other aspects as well? And if not, and Keichi really understood what Belldandy was in these terms, what would it mean for their relationship?
I suspect that this works in much the same way that Hexe manages to care for Doug and the other warriors...
Quote: And then we get into some really wild territory in Evangelion. I'm beginning to think this subject deserves an entire seperate post
One seperate post, coming up
I suspect that.... I really have no idea how this'll work in the NGE step... I really like what EPU did with the series in NXE... It made much more sense than what I saw of the original. I'm rather looking forward to what havoc LT will wreak in Central Dogma... maybe he can spray paint a Buddy Christ in the Cage...

Get Me Out Of Here
Billy Pilgrim
www.billypilgrim.net/
www.roelofs.net/pilgrim/sounds/billy.pi ... e.live.mp3 (linked from the band's download page, so it's legitimate).
People live below me up above me to the sides
Even if I wanted to I got no place good to hide
Concrete is my color and commerce it's my pride
Get me out of here
No one should live like this
Get me out of here
From the subway's steamy kiss
Take me to the country and dip me in some bliss
Get me out of here
'Cause I can't live like this
Alone along the crowded streets among the circus freaks
I saw Jezebel and Claribel and they were begging mister please
You can help me too I said and gave them my T.V.
Get me out of here
No one should live like this
Get me out of here
From the subway's steamy kiss
Take me to the country and dip me in some bliss
Get me out of here
Cause I can't live like
My hands are twitching brain is frazzled
Carryin on in fits
I can't carry on in this frenzied state I'm in
The last time that I saw you, you were wearing a disguize
And hiding from some lawyers who were buzzing gray haired flies
Dried out bloodshot eyes have you forgotten how to cry
Get me out of here
No one should live like this
Get me out of here
From the subway's steamy kiss
Take me to the country and dip me in some bliss
Get me out of here
Cause I can't live like
Out of here
Cause I can't live like
Out of here

Abenobashi Step? |

Bob--
How about a step based on Abenobashi Mahou Shotengai? It's a hilarious series, and appropriately enough, focuses on world-hopping. Doug would fit right into a superhero themed step, but even he might be surprised, since the world always winds up going over the top.
The basic premise of the series, if you haven't seen it, is that the two protagonist children, Sasshi and Arumi are from the Abenobashi shopping district in Osaka. They wind up being transported to a series of parallel worlds, each one having the Shotengai and people they know, but usually playing up a particular genre, e.g. a swords and sorcery world, a science-fiction world, a film noir world, etc.

A Loon
Some store I'm not going back there any more
Wandered in don't think I'll do that again
No I don't think I'll do that again.
I swear you look at me cross-eyed
And I don't know what to do
No I don't know what to do crazy loon.
There's a room in his pallet
There's a pillow for his head
Sees an offshoot in his bottle
When he wants to see me dead
Heirlooms a loon.
Never thought I'd see that silly grin
Never thought I'd see that fool again
Never thought I'd like that lunatic.
Nothing left to dance around
What a hero
What a black and blue bird
What a loon a loon
What a loon a loon.
Found it when I was searching around on Leo's Lyrics. I thought it was kind of cool. I haven't been able to listen to it yet, though. Can't find it anywhere!

Hanoi Xan, World Crime League, and "antecedents" |

Radio Announcer: Who is Hanoi Xan? What is the World Crime League? Is this Hanoi Xan the same Hanoi Shan who terrorized Paris in the 1900s? Can the World Crime League be the remnants of Prof. Moriarty's criminal empire? Or is it truly the Si-Fan and Hanoi Shan The Devil Doctor Fu Manchu? Can even our hero Doug stop someone who has confounded Buckaroo Banzai, Sir Denis Nayland Smith, and even Solar Pons?
Maybe.
