In front of him, Andy chuckled into his phone, and said, "Sure thing," before hanging up. He clicked around online a few times, then turned to Jim.
"Hey, Big Tuna. Can I interest you in a friendly match?"
Jim looked up, confused. "What?"
Andy rolled his chair back so Jim could see Andy's monitor. VirtualSwordfight.com. Andy's avatar bounced while it waited.
Jim sighed. "Sure. What the hell." He logged in and their match screen came up. Something caught his eye. "Huh."
For crying out loud! I knew it was coming and I still got chills! How do you do that????
Author's Response: Yay! Glad it worked!

Yay! The ROUS, that's what I was waiting for! And Roy as the lightning sand? Guh. You are seriously a freakin genius to make this all work. Totally believable. I love it!
Author's Response: Thanks, pennylane, glad the ROUS lived up to expectations!

Wow.
Andy's the six fingered man. Roy's the lightning sand. Angela's the flame spurt. Genius. Genius.
Can't wait to see what you do with the pit of despair.
Author's Response: Thanks, Shan - no pressure! ;)

I keep being amazed at how you were able to tie in the different elements. What a challenge, but you are up to the task. :) I can't wait to see the clergyman with a lisp show up. ;)
Author's Response: Thanks, Gen :)

Pam felt herself slip just a bit into his dimples.
Watch out, Pam! It's the Lightening Sand!!!
You are a very talented lady, missy!
Author's Response: Thanks, Beth :) Lightning Sand, indeed!

Author's Response: Thanks, janelle! Andy's crazy enough, don't you think? ;)

In retrospect, they probably shouldn't have shown up at the office together at 5:00 a.m. That had looked kind of suspicious.
I laughed out loud at that line. Also, it took me far too long to understand where you were going with the "three perils" - but when it clicked, I laughed out loud again.
Author's Response: Yeah, I couldn't use the words "fire swamp" believably, so I just kind of hoped people would get what was happening in this chapter. Glad you did! Thanks :)
Date: October 11, 2006 02:00 pm Title: The Perils
Oh, awesome. I love this more and more with every chapter.
This: MGScott: O RLY? made me laugh so hard that my eyes were tearing up. I pictured the o rly owl, and I just couldn't hold it together.
Amazing.
Author's Response:
Yay, glad it's still entertaining six chapters in!
And, yeah, Michael would be all over the lingo ;)

OK. Are you kidding me?? Andy as Count Rugen?
Shan. Seriously. Your brilliance knows no bounds....
Author's Response: Hee! I did a little dance when I figured out he was the perfect person to keep Jim occupied for a while. Thanks, Krissy ;)

This was as awesome as I knew it'd be. And this? "
"Supply closet, New Year's Party, 2002. Whew. Feels good to finally tell you that."
"Thanks a lot! Ew."
Totally awesome. I bow to you yet again!
Author's Response: Thanks, girl7! Glad you liked that exchange :)

You are a genius. Like, a parody savant. You figured out a way to get the ROUS in here? And in a way that makes sense? And...Andy is the six-fingered man? Oh, this is so brilliant. I'm feverish, but I think I'm coherent enough to be blown away.
Author's Response: Thanks, Lis! Hope you feel better soon. I've been looking forward to unveiling Andy - he's going to be fun ;)
Author's Response: And "parody savant" is totally going on my resumé, followed by "Lis said so."
