I had an idle thought; would people eat chocolate covered Klatchian Coffee beans?

Then I had a worse one; Shockolate (energy infused chocolate) covered Klatchian Coffee beans.

Of course, this leads to Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster Shockolate Luqueurs. You could combine them, having a Klatchian coffee bean in the centre of a Gargle Blaster liqueur could theoretically cancel each other out, although I'm not certain how a person would cope with the snap between the two states...

Ok. Me and Dark Seraph and OM (as Kara Skye, Gehirngeist and Net Saber) did the an AE arc called
Signal:Noise
Arc #341194
by @The Cheshire Cat
Creepy does not even BEGIN to tell the story on this one.
Just - DON'T BLINK. Because the Mannequins MOVE when you're not watching, DON'T BLINK.
And he's done 2 other arcs for Dark Astoria. One of which was Dev Choiced.
Just... wwwooooooooooooOOOEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOooooooooohhhh!!!

I'm putting together an application for a civilian position in the Department of the Navy. There are several openings in the U.S and overseas. Including Japan and Bahrain. I have a vague idea of what's it like in Japan, but no idea in Bahrain. Anyone know?

Yaa.  the Starlight Spectre shall rise again!

Power list:
Pistols - Standard basic attack
Dual Wield - Standard alternate basic attack (slower recharge, higher damage) - animation has your toon wheel around and fire gangsta-style.
Empty Clips - Standard cone.
Swap Ammo - Damage type enhancement. Cycles between standard, cold, fire, and toxic damage (fluffed as regular, cryonic, incendiary, and chemical bullets)
Bullet Rain - AOE of some sort
Suppressive Fire - stuns an opponent
Executioner's Shot - high-damage, shot range
Piercing Rounds - Very narrow cone, high damage
Hail of Bullets - attack everything around you
Several choices were available for pistol types in Power Customization, including semi-auto, revolver, revolver w/ laser sight, magnum revolver, flintlock, match-target pistol.
ETA: Making a Brawl attack while wielding pistols results in a pistol-whip.

Sucrose Octanitrate.
Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode.

Stand My Ground - Within Temptation
Induces Heroic Willpower for the duration of the song. It's not much but there are times when something like that might come in handy.
Black Shuck - The Darkness
Summons the titular Black Dog/hellhound, or equivalant thereof. Given that the 'original' Black Shuck supposedly killed two people and managed to make a church tower collapse through the roof, I think I'd file this one under 'For Emergency Use Only'.
Own Little World - Celldweller
Okay, I have to admit that I'm not sure as to what to do with this exactly but given some of the lyrics (specifically;  "Welcome to a world where the air I breathe is mine /There's nothing to overwhelm me and nothing to cloud my mind / Be anyone, do anything I'd ever want to try /Time doesn't exist here, I will never die") it has definite potential. I'm thinking something along the lines of sucking Doug and anyone in the AoE into a sort of pocket dimension where Doug is basically god for the duration of the song, but that might be overdoing it.

Spring Fling is back, until March 2nd, looks like.  And I should have a working computer by this weekend, finally.  So, can I convince some lovely villain or villainess to help Rhea get the Beautiful and Partygoer badges?  Pretty please?  She'll bring the blue candy...
