Terry Flores, Penny McCarthy, Tania Yatskievitch "Then I drove him mad, plaguing him with voices, storms, every evil omen... he should have sold me the shoes at half off!"

Dylan Hasman, Betsy Hasman, Tristan Hasman "Captain... I feel... gothness and murky darkness, filled with loud, bass-heavy music... and leather, I feel a lot of leather."

"Captain, this is the planet Nosferatu! (gasp! choke!)

Dylan Hasman, Tristan Hasman, Isabelle Hasman, Duncan Hasman "Hephaestus, this pumpkin has angered the gods! It must be sacrificed to restore the natural order!" ~ Zeus (while Cybele and Atargatis look on)

Richard The end of another long, long day at Disneyland. A contract worker walking to employee parking in one of the underground garages.
Christina "No, I don't think we're exploited by the Mouse. We're Wild Things, you know, and usually we just run around in the woods, kidnapping little children. This way we get benefits, and paid vacation."
Richard "I love... Disneyland. I really, really do. (sob) I hope I can get that job at Bloomingdales..."
Duncan Hasman, Isabelle Murphy, Colin Dunnigan, Bill Murphy During half-time at the Siege of Troy, the Olympians catch a breather. Troy is up 43-28, and things do not look good for the Acheans. With sixty-five seconds to go in the final quarter, the Achean sub quarterback Odikwios will throw a 96 yard hail mary for the victory.
Duncan Hasman "Oh, you bet. Troy has a lock on this one... home field advantage, a great running back in Hector, a canny qb in King Priam. They can't lose. Too bad they have to put up with that punk Paris... he gets on my nerves."
Duncan Hasman "Awww! Not the Wooden Horse play!

WE WERE ROBBED!

The officials are blind, BLIND!"

Jiji, Penny McCarthy "Le chat noir, es magnifique!"
Penny McCarthy (AP - Thrace) Recent attempts by the Ottoman authorities to clean up the local woods of sprites, nymphs and carefree spirits of all kinds have, obviously, failed.

Imperial authorities promise to commit new resources to limiting the number of fauns, satyrs and dryads cavorting in the public parks.

Suzanne MacDhomhail (AP - Thrace) A notorious local Wicca girl (name withheld) continues to flaunt Imperial authority.

Governor Kemal, still smarting from his demotion, promises swift action in quelling the hijinks and laughter lately reported from the woods near the Gelibolu shore.

Suzanne MacDhomhail (AP - Thrace) Local sprite, having escaped from Wicca camp, reports that some "cute Australian boys" would soon be arriving to join recent celebrations over the fall of Troy. Russell Crowe and Mel Gibson were rumored to have "gotten bus tickets. They'll be here any day."
