I can handle the Oz Full Monty. I mean, not 'handle' handle.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Nikki has been advocating for the agents to serve as intermediaries for a while, since brokering deals is what they do for a living.
As it sounded like an eminently reasonable solution, when I first heard about it, I refused to believe that such a plan could succeed in this universe, which seems to specialize in the intemperate and unreasonable.

I suspect it was Polgara's strong words that had the biggest impact, though. When the inventor of the internet is cheesed off, people pay attention.

What is even happening?
Yeah, I know. Who knew she was right? I'd never heard of her before the strike, but apparently she's quite well regarded.

I like the donut picture, kristen. It made me smile.
You're sweet. But my reaction was, "Geez. I lost 29 pounds. And apparently every single one of them was out of camera range."
