Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

'Time Bomb'


Sang Sacré

The fictional Buffista City. With a variety of neighborhoods, climates, and an Evil Genius or two, Sang Sacre is where we'd all live if it were real. Jump in -- find a neighborhood, start a parade, become a superhero. It's what you make it.

History. Map.

"You next interview is here." Buzzes Inga. I hope this one is more promising than the first two.

The door opens to reveal a massive man in a nicely tailored pin stripe suit.

"Hello, I'm Gudanov, thank you for coming." I shake hands with him. He has a firm, business-like handshake. "Please take a seat."

I look over his resume again. "I see that you a barbarian Mr. Banks."

"Please, call me Bob. Yes, I've have considerable experience as a barbaric fighter."

"Good. Good. How would you see yourself fitting in with a group of adventurers?"

"I see myself as the primary offensive asset in melee combat."

"What sort of skills would you bring to that role?"

"I am highly proficient with using two axes in a destructive capacity and can employ a fighting technique I call a 'Blood Rage'".

"Could I see an example?"

Bob looks around the room. "I could attack that chair."

"Okay."

"I didn't bring my travel ax, perhaps I could borrow that C-38 tape dispenser."

"Certainly."

Bob picks up my 3M C-38 tape dispenser and attacks the chair with a fury than can only be described as barbaric, which only makes since for a barbarian. Within a few seconds the chair is reduced to a brutally mangled pile of kindling.

"Nice work Bob."

Bob replaces the C-38 tape dispenser on my desk. "Thank you."

"I think that will do it."

Bob stands up. "Thanks for you time. I hope to hearing from you in the future."

"I suspect you will."

I suspect someone's been reading the Genghis Khan book for managers. Or one of those Sun Tzu translations that popped up for business folk.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Because it needed to be done: Les résidants de Sang Sacré.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Gus, you're hysterical.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Gus, what I was actually trying for in the Old Quarter was Milo's Bar, not Milo. I think the apostrophe freaked it out.

Ooh. Made ita laugh. That makes for a good day.

DX, yup. You found a bug, which I have stomped. I think this happened to other people, like Plei and well, others, who tried to use an apostrophe. Mssrs. Javascript and PHP do not play well together on this item of punctuation, so all apostrophes are now being automagically replaced with gravés.

Because I am a lazy, arbitrary SOB, who cackles with glee at the discomforts of the linguistically pure.

Cool map Gus.

Thanks, Gud. Actually, someone else originated it. I'm beginning to make some minor upgrades to it.

However, if someone could tell me: Is the thing across the middle of the map meant to be railroad tracks, or is it a fence?
