You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Things are beginning to get real for SCAVENGER HUNT ON INFINITE EARTHS. People still seem to be having a lot of trouble picking characters, but the stage is set:

Serial: Volstagg from the Warriors Three has joined the hunt!!!! I am terribly excited by this development.

Laga and some others have been ponderign what characters to play. Right now, I have no female characters. Female players, but not characters.

If anyone wants to take up Buffy Summers, Lilah Morgan, Veronica Mars Elizabeth Bennet (or Jane Austen herself), I'd be totally into it.

Also, if anyone is looking for a male character, can I suggest Buckaroo Bonzai?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm definitely planning to play a female. Trying to decide between Moaning Myrtle, Gaz from Invader Zim, and (once I remember her name) the daughter from Time Traveller's Wife... or maybe I'll choose someone else. But a female for sure.

People of the Fleet, we have arrived at the Cylon Refinery. Viper pilots, scramble your fighters. We need that Fuel, or we're never going anywhere, ever again.

Please tell me someone has an SP for this roll.......

Looking at the last check, I'd say the Olympic Carrier has one. Alas, everyone else passes on interrupts. If this die roll fails, game over!

Fuel for Love:

8! Pass! The fleet lives to fight another day. Today, probably. You have now reached 8 Distance; the next jump will win the game for the humans!

Anders' cards are going out. Mr Anders, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG (Boomer)

Holy crap, I can't believe we're still alive. Okay, so we need to repair FTL Control and jump ASAP.

Anders and I should both be in Hangar Deck now, right? Shouldn't all the Cylon ships be gone?
