#36 -- Ramifications

Sunday morning. Self-Righteous Preacher is holding mass in the Ballroom. Various Legionaires attend, sitting on benches that were brought up
from the store room. Ultimate Ninja sits to the right of Master
Blaster.

"And I say to you: ye who stray from the Lord's path will be
damned!" Self-Righteous Preacher proclaimed.
Ultimate Ninja whispered to Master Blaster. "You know, you should
give some thought to what Self-Righteous Preacher is saying."
Master Blaster raised an eyebrow. "And what is *that* supposed to
mean?"
Ultimate Ninja sighed. "Are you telling me that nothing happened
between you and Ordinary Lady last night?"
Master Blaster smiled. "You're just jealous."
Ultimate Ninja became furious. He stood up and drew his Ginsu
Katana Blade. "I AM NOT! TAKE THAT BACK!"
Netiquette Lad spoke up. "Gentlemen, PLEASE!"
Ultimate Ninja calmed down. He sheathed his blade and turned to Self-Righteous Preacher. "My apologies, Preacher. Go on." He sat
down.
"Shameful! Shameful behaviour!" decried Self-Righteous Preacher.

Meanwhile, in Deja Dude's quarters, Deja Dude is shaving with a
cordless electric razor. He is not alone.

"Deja?"
"It's alright, Julie: you don't have to get up yet; you stay right
there."
She smiled. "Nonsense."
Deja Dude became concerned. He turned off his razor. "No really.
You should keep yourself covered."
Julie laughed. "Whatever for?"

Julie got out of bed. To Deja Dude's relief, the artist has drawn
her from behind and then only from the waist up, thereby staying within
the boundaries of what is generally considered good taste. Deja Dude,
however, sees Julie from a completely different angle.

"Uh, Julie?"
"Yes?"
"I think I'll finish shaving ... later."
She laughed.

Later, Catalyst Lass is eating in the Cafeteria when Julie arrives.
Catalyst Lass gets up.

"Oh, hi, you're Julie, right? I'm Catalyst Lass."

They shake hands. Julie sits down with her.

"Where's Deja Dude?"
Julie smiled. "He suddenly needed to get some more sleep."
"Ah."
"Mmm. Those blueberry pancakes look good."
Catalyst Lass nodded. "That guy we hired when Cheesecake Eater Lad
was missing in action, he left us the recipe."
"Cheesecake Eater Lad?"
Catalyst Lass nodded. "Yeah, he's the slightly pudgy one standing
behind the counter over there. That's aLLiterative Lass standing
next to him."
Julie started to laugh. "Why on earth do you people use such funny
names?"
Catalyst Lass was taken aback. "Don't you know?"
"Know what?" asked Julie puzzled.
Catalyst Lass came up with a quick explanation. "A Legionaire's
life is very demanding: it helps ease the tension."
"Ah," said Julie, satisfied.
Suddenly, the room started to shake.
"What's this? An earthquake?" Julie asked.
"We're being flamed."
"Flamed?"
Catalyst Lass could have kicked herself. "It's just a storm.
It'll pass."

Deja Dude arrives.

"Deja!"
"Oh, Julie, this ..."
"Storm," suggested Catalyst Lass.
"This storm: I need to go see Ultimate Ninja about it."
Julie shrugged her shoulders. "OK."
"You go ahead and have breakfast and I'll meet you later, OK?"
She smiled and winked at him.
Deja Dude smiled and continued on his way to Ultimate Ninja's
Ready Room. There, Ultimate Ninja was sitting at his desk working on
his terminal.
"DAMN THEM! DAMN THEM ALL!"
Deja Dude stepped forward. "Allow me."
Ultimate Ninja looked hesitant.
"Look, it isn't enough that we shout down at them; after all, what
are they saying?"
"They're saying that LNH stories are garbage."
"Right. Not exactly constructive criticism is it? Don't you see?
The key is not to attack *them* necessarily but to attack what they
say!"
Ultimate Ninja nodded. "Alright, see what you can do." He got up.
Deja Dude sat in his place. "OK, let's see: now to really drive
home
my point, I'm going to have to tell this guy to 'go to hell'."
"Hmm. Foul language."
Deja Dude disagreed. "I think it's appropriate. Ah." Deja Dude
smiled.
"What?"
"Cowlung just managed to imply that people should read 200-300
pages a day, non-SF, and not watch any television or else they're just
going to write drek."
Ultimate Ninja chortled. "That's a bit extreme."
"Exactly!" Suddenly, Deja Dude's smile faded. "Uh oh."
"'Uh oh'? What do you mean 'uh oh'?"
Deja Dude sighed. "We're going to have to move."

NEXT: Regrouping

#37 -- Regrouping

In Ultimate Ninja's Ready Room are Ultimate Ninja (standing) and Deja
Dude who is sitting at Ultimate Ninja's Desk. Deja Dude has just told
Ultimate Ninja that the Legion is going to have to move.

"Move? What do you mean move?" Ultimate Ninja asked.
"Well, you know how Legion Headquarters manifests itself on rec.arts.comics.misc for the benifit of those who can't otherwise be
here in person."
"Yeah."
"Well there's talk of a new rec group. They want us to move
there."
Ultimate Ninja shrugged his shoulders. "I've got no problem with
that."
"OK, I'll type up a Request For Discussion and send it off.
There."
"WHAT? Just like that?"
"Hey, I'm good for more than just stories you know!" Deja Dude said
with a smile. Suddenly, his smile faded.
"What's wrong?"
"We've lost internet."
"You're kidding."
Deja Dude tried sending email to no avail. He sighed. "I wish I
was: email's gone too. Hold it! We're back! Scratch that: we've got
email but the newgroups haven't come back yet."
"Who's the email from?"
"Cowlung."
"COWLUNG?! But he was the one flaming us!"
"Nevertheless, the email is from him."
Ultimate Ninja nodded. "Alright, what does he say?"
"He says 'more than admitting it, I've been revelling in the fact
that I'm an asshole for years, both on the net and off the net'." (Note:
this is from an actual email message from Jim Cowling -- MFP)
"That sounds like him."
Deja Dude read on. "This is interesting."
"What?"
"He says that he 'was being facetious'."
"You've *got* to be kidding!"
"No, really. See for yourself!"
Ultimate Ninja looked over Deja Dude's shoulder at the screen. He
grimaced. "So I'm a 'wacko', huh?"
Deja Dude shrugged his shoulders. "You've been called worse."
"True," Ultimate Ninja admiited.
"Looks to me like he wants peace."
"PEACE?! But HE was the one who flamed US!"
"True ... and now he admits he was being an asshole and that he
didn't really mean everything he said."
Ultimate Ninja pondered for a moment. "Peace with Cowling. I'd
have never thought it possible."
Deja Dude shrugged his shoulders. "Maybe he's warming up to the
idea of us moving to another group. Who knows?" Deja Dude got up.
"Anyway, my work is done: I mean, I'm sure there are others who are more experienced with these matters."
Ultimate Ninja nodded. "Did you crosspost the RFD to the
respective newsgroups and ask for followups to news.newgroups?"
"Should I have?" Deja Dude asked. "Well, see, there you go." Deja
Dude sat down and reposted the RFD. "I'm assuming, of course, that
it is going to post even though the groups in question are still
unavailable at this site," Deja Dude said as he got up again.
Ultimate Ninja sighed. "Hopefully we'll have a Call For Vote soon
and that'll be that."
Deja Dude agreed. "I know I'll vote for the new group. Who knows?
Maybe Cowlung will too!"
Ultimate Ninja chortled. "What a thought."

Later, in Deja Dude's quarters:

"Let me get this straight," Julie began to say, "the sky turned red
and the ground started to shake ... so you went to Ultimate Ninja's Ready Room?"
Deja Dude nodded. "Yes."
"And you were able to make the storm stop."
"Eventually, yes."
"How is that possible?"
Deja Dude sighed. He knew he could never tell her the truth. "While the Legion can't control the weather, we do have our ways of dealing with
... this type of storm. Luckily, nobody got too badly hurt. Well, not
any Legionaires anyway." Deja Dude tried not to smile.
"Nothing serious I hope," said Julie, concerned.
"Nothing you need worry about: a couple of people just got a bit
burnt and went home," Deja Dude said reassuringly.
"And the Legion saved the day as usual."
"You *could* say that," Deja Dude said, keeping in mind that all
that the Legion managed to save was a bit of credibility.
"You're so modest."
Deja Dude thought himself lucky that neither Irony Man nor
Sarcastic Lad was around to hear her say that.
"Come here!"
Deja Dude smiled at her. "Boy, I sure knew what I was doing when I
created this character," he thought.

shrugged his shoulders. =C2=A0"Maybe he's warming up to the =C2= =A0 idea of us moving to another group.=C2=A0 Who knows?" =C2=A0Dej=
