opnet [OpNet] I hope this is what you wanted....

[David 'Dr. Troll' Smith]

Miss Fortune:

I went to see your would be suitor. I would like to say that I was successful, subtle, and diplomatic...

...but it wouldn't be true. The truth of it is that he got irate, I got insulting, he zapped me, and I transformed. It quickly went downhill from there. He did really well, right up to the point where I grabbed his knee and hit the wall with him. He'll be all right. Aside from a slight concussion and a compound fracture in his upper left leg I barely touched him.

I'm pretty sure I was convincing, but with these types it is hard to tell.

[Sandy Davis]

Well, not what I asked for,but I hope it works.As for payment, I think um what 75,000 is fair?And you did what I thought yo would do, but if I told you to bap him about liek that, well he would be dead now,and you know it.

As for if it dosen't work,I have a pan b...I think you would not mind it.Too much.

[David 'Dr. Troll' Smith]

Fair enough. But if you are suggesting what I think, then the answer is "no".

[Sakurako Hino]

Sandy: Why? Why did you pay Dr. Troll to open up a can of 'splode all over that guy? Come on! Troll Owns! Hmmm, that line'd sell T-Shirts.

[Jager]

Aaahhh .... come on Doc.

Sandy, you hired the "Green Meanie Herd" to tell a wannabe ex-boyfriend to take a hike? Isn't that like nuking a city just to kill a cockroach?

Doctor Troll, how many dates did you go on pre-nova? How many non-Vile Bill style dates have you gone on since the big day? I bring this up because it is mission related material.

Well, atleast no one died ... right?

[Sandy Davis]

Jager, it is not when he has stalked me the that man did.I mean from calfonia, to Rome,to well everywhere else I went.I mean he went to teh amp room a day after me,and left within a half hour of finding out I left..that is a lon way to go for nothing,yes?

And well,let's just say I think he was going to go further than misster friendly stalker type.

[Jager]

I don't doubt that he was a creep, but Doc Troll is a hardbody with a background in the non-social sciences. He is the "I want that mountain ranged leveled" kind of guy, isn't he?

I am not questioning your actions, just your choice of tools.

[Sakurako Hino]

Jager: Why do I picture you as a Dennis Leary type? Always on a rant about something? Not that it's a bad thing. You have a valid point. Hell sandy, if you wanted revenge bad, why didn't you call me up here? I would have done a kinder, gentler, can of whupass on him. At least his recovery time would be far less. I mean, that guy will probably have a limp for the rest of his life.

[Sandy Davis]

Um Endeavor , I am betting if I took a blast at you with my flair.You would at least be knocked cold,even if I held back some.This Nova,as much as I hate saying, scared me.I mean, well I will not go into the details.

But Endeavor if I asked you to go,I may have had to put you next to Bill,as well.I do not know your porwers that well,but I knew Troll, would beat him.I beat you couldn't beat me in hand to hand,even when I am runing cold.

[David 'Dr. Troll' Smith]

Hey there. The dude was a nova. Still is for that matter.

The message didn't have to be a violent one. He, and not me, choose to open the door to violence.

As for how tough he was... honestly, it is really hard for me to tell. He was quick and had a good zap. He got me good several times. I don't think he would last long as a front line elite, but it might be a career option for him.

[Sandy Davis]

I knew he would most likely act this way,and knew that Troll, was not the type to kill for no reasons.I was sure if it came to a figght,there are a few people that I would want by side more than Troll, and I know he woulnd't kill unless he had no optoins.The nova Tomy, will be alright in a few weeks.And honestly it is not like I sent Epoch after a basseline...

[Jager]

Can't a man tease anyone around here? Jeesh!

[Sandy Davis]

Jager, the nova that I sent Troll after would sooner or later have trried something varry bad,well at least may have,and besides I am not tryign get down on you...

[Sakurako Hino]

Minor detail there guys. Here I go Flaming on and ripping Sandy and Dr. Troll, and here we find out, the Ex was a nodespark. Dude got what he deserved, yet, I still think it was a little overkill. A simple kick in the nads would have sufficed.

And when were novas hiring elites to get back at cheatin' ex's?

[Sandy Davis]

He was stocking me and he was not really even my lover,I mean we were out on like four,maybe six dates..I wasn't counting.Now Endeavoor,I bet you couldn't even hit me if you tried...

[Jager]

Sandy, I understand. Novas are both a wonderful and terrible lot. More than a few of us are 'overly emotional' and bad things can be the result. You and Dr. Troll were the ones dealing with the situation and made the decisions you needed to make. Let's just hope Whats-his-Name takes the not so subtle hint and bows out.

Endeavor, you know I like to play Devil's Advocate. I like for people to look at every situation from different perspectives, if I can.

Perhaps not with the first punch. But as always, I never give up.
Please, do not take that tone with me again.

[Sakurako Hino]

Jager: I'm more than aware of that. I just tend to be one of those reactionary types. Looks like Sandy is a reactionary type as well. I think it's best if I steered clear.

[Ashnod]

Sandy, Troll...

Is there any particular reason you chose to put this personal matter on display for all of our comments and criticisms?

It seems to me this was something that should have been handled via private message.

I'd rather not have another debacle like the one we had last year start because we post private issues in a public forum.

[Bastian]

Hello, Lady Ashnod. It has been a while. I hope you fair well.

[Sandy Davis]

Yes there is a reason, at least to me.It is a simple way to show that I do not fear punishment and will freely admit to what I have done.Also, to show a sign out that when I say no,I mean no,and I will go a long way to get the point across.

Now Ashnod, what does this mater.You may your good interests?I can see good intoins, but I assure you that,I can take care of myself, in one way or another.

Lastly just because a mater is public it dose mean people have to have there two cents in.May you have a good day.

As for you Endeavor,I am soory for the tone, bad mood, and well.I am sorry, but I have a feeling while there are many who I can't beat, there are less that can beat me.As you should know one the core rules of combate is killing who you face willl do you little to no good if they kill you too.

Now Ashnod, what does this mater, have to with your interests?I can see good intoins, but I asure you that,I can take care of myself, in one way or another.

Lastly just becuase a mater is public it dose mean people have to have there two cents.May you have a good day.

dnot = don't
too should be to
mater = matter
intions, I believe is intentions
asure = assure
becuase = because
dose = does, but I think you meant doesn't
there should be their
soory = sorry
whome = whom
combate = combat
willl = will

1) Obviously, if you have Troll doing the dirty work, you can't take care of yourself, regardless of what you boast to us or specifically to Sakura-chan. This definitely falls into the "you can't handle" category which you seem to believe is miniscule compared to the "you can handle" category. I find this rather ironic.

2) It matters because there's no reason to share it with us. It matters because since you DO share it, it's obvious you WANT our opinions, you WANT us to observe you, and you WANT us to respond to it. It concerns me, Sandy, that you feel that we should have insight into this portion of your life and furthermore, that you are going to give it to us. Private Messages exist for a reason.

3) Someone was killed here because they didn't have the sense to not post publicly when they should have either been in hiding or at the very least, using the messaging service. You seem to think you're secure enough, especially after Troll's visit, but since this is public, your "friend" might stumble upon it, get angry that this was all laid open for everyone to see, and take action he wouldn't normally have done.

And just for the record, Avenger declared that he'd killed Costas, only to be proven wrong later. You are not as safe as you think airing your personal business here.

For me, this was not a personal matter.

As for "any particular reason", the short answer is "advertising". I'm for hire and this seemed unusual enough that it might make headlines. It might even open up new business for me.

Normally this is the point where I meantion that I'm broke, but that isn't true anymore. Just recently I aquired a (slightly) positive net worth.

[Sandy Davis]

Well, Ashnod,I will take you advise into thing like this,But I think it is a bt too late to chang whatalready happened.

[Gerald Haney]

I only know Ashnod by reputation, but I'm going to have to give her a shout out on this one. This kind of business should be taken care of behind closed doors.

Sandy, you've already admitted to hiring someone to beat the holy hell out of a guy who only 'might' do something to you. Don't say you didn't, because you said you knew what Troll would end up doing. You've broken quite a few laws little lady and I don't know if you've noticed, but the guys with the badges nowadays are pretty good at ferreting out those folks who break the law. Ask the Mafia.

Troll, hey man, I know your just doing your job, but really. Is stomping on some suppressive dick really what you want to do for a living? You're a doctor right? Utopia has loads of positions open for bright guys like you. C'mon on down, I'll buy you a few beers and give you the nickel tour.

Actually no, she didn't. I was hired to convey a message (NOT to beat him up). I did so (while pink). He responded with violence, and I simply defended myself.

I even had a trusted person (i.e. me) tape the whole thing. In the unlikely event this ends up in court I intend to make the argument that a baseline messenger would have been killed. Violence was his choice. I don't think you can blame Sandy or me just because I happened to be better at it.

Actually I'm a Chemical Engineer ("Dr." refers to a PhD). Recently on my off hours I've been trying to follow Ray's work (now there is one smart lady)...

I wouldn't mind getting together, but the whole reason I signed on with DeVries was that they seemed like a better match for me employment-wise. My greener self *is* more prone towards violence.

Sorry when some travels the same plan as you do, and this includes going aroudn the world and back again,I mean in four week, prior to this , he had fallowed me something like closse to twice aorudn the world, that is lieke 50,000 miles.THat May do something was like, a human may die if thye get shot in the head.If they want to put me in jail for know Tommy's temper somewhat,then go for it, but frankly untill I see your badges..Oh never mind.

So Trooll, would you like to spar?I mean I would like to see how much II can dish out,and from what I hear You have a power that woudl let me do that to, with no risk at all,at least to anyoen lives.

[David 'Dr. Troll' Smith]

Sandy Davis- Miss-Fortune:

Always.

A warning or two is in order. I've gotten significantly stronger recently. Heavier too for that matter.

[Sandy Davis]

So, where would you like to spar.I mean, we could well do it in th middle of a city as I am think the levels of damage it would take to phase you would level most wallls, am I right?

And I don;t think I could have lifted you if youw er hilf as light..

And I don't think I could have lifted you if you were half as heavey as you used to be.

[Sakurako Hino]

I can tell you guys one thing,if a little "sparring" occurs, I'm definately staying oh, 50 miles away from wherever that happens. Dr. Troll can move fairly quick, and the small army he can summon up can do the job easily. Dr. Troll dosen't mess around, Sandy. You'd be well advised to take that back.

[Sandy Davis]

Endeavor have you ever fought in real combat?I mean have you been toe to toe with someone who is more powerful than you?I do not fear Troll,I do say that I would not fight him if I could avoid it, but I am betting that in a spar, I ccould surpise you on how long I could last.Would you like a tape of it?I am sure we could get one fo ryou...

[Vixen]

Oh, for the love of Pete. Get a room, you two.

[Sakurako Hino]

...

Your funeral. I'm sure not going to save your hide if David goes "Big Green" all over you.

[David 'Dr. Troll' Smith]

Sakurako 'Endeavor' Hino:
...the small army he can summon...

Personally I've always thought of us as a LARGE army.

Quote:

Sakurako 'Endeavor' Hino:
Dr. Troll doesn't mess around...

Sure I do. That is why we call is sparring.

The Basic Rules:
1) Its just one on one. For Troll that means only one clone (he gets to fight). Endeavor is perfectly correct in her inference that things get out of hand with too many clones.
2) Troll will not deliberately try to kill or maim his opponent. His opponent is not similarly bound. Thus you can use a BFG but I can't.
3) The fight goes on till one of us yields, is KO'ed, or runs away.

As for where, DeVries & N! have a list of suggestions (see website link). I'll be in the States for Thanksgiving but can go anywhere after that. I'd prefer that N! be invited, but if you say "no" then that's fine as well (I can always use the experience).

As for how tough am I? Well, let's just say that since it will be a clone out there you should use your biggest attacks. Strike to kill. It is unlikely that you can, but if you do I won't hold it against you.

[Sakurako Hino]

I have several locations I can choose, if you want to throw down in a sparring contest with yours truely.

Ayers Rock, Australia: A beautiful backdrop, unpopulated for miles

Black Hills, USA: Another sceneic backdrop. I know of a couple open areas for the cameras to get a clean view.

There's an old airport for small aircraft west of Tokyo. The tarmag is still semi smooth enough for good footing. The weather though is sorta rough this time of year.

Theres a park in Richfield MN, USA that has enough room to play around in, problem is, since I'm a flier I will have to keep low. It's a mile away from the International Airport.

There are a couple more areas I could think of, but they are either too remote for a medical crew to reach or are too bloody hot/cold to deal with.

I usually don't look foreward to getting my ass kicked, but this time, it's for a good cause, and I'd like to see how my skill has developed. Perhaps if I put up enough of a good fight, the XWF might sign me on. Then I can get some pent-up agression out.

[Sandy Davis]

Wasn't I the one going to spar?Ohh well, I would say Richfeild.I would hope you never do the black hills, and in case you haven't paid much mind to what I have been doing, I have been flying like faster than sound.But I would like to see how well you fight good Endeavor.

[Sakurako Hino]

It looked like he talked to me, and I sorta talked to him a while ago about a sparring session. But, let me advise you Sandy, you are going to have the time of your life fighting David. But rest assured, The Troll is a tough hombre who dosen't go down easily. I just wanted to spar with him because if I get a good hit in, he won't feel it that bad. Having an adequate sparring partner is not the same as a stationary training dummy. *sigh*

Oh, Sandy, Actually I'd like to introduce you to my home turf in Japan. Some of the scenery is something to behold.

[Sandy Davis]

Endeavor,I would love seeing your home land, but only if I can show you where I live,Not that I spend over;y much time there, as my house keeper puts,I have damned ichy feet.

As for the spar,I willl not go as far as the time of my life but I will say it willl be note worthly. And fear is something I lost for almost anything about a year ago now...

[David 'Dr. Troll' Smith]

I want to say "yes" to Richfield, but that airport is just asking for trouble. (Or did you mean "a mile from their airspace"?

The Black Hills then?
