For those who did not know ...

Shadows Are Not a Minor Race on Babylon 5.

Supposed to hit 32F today, before counting the humidity. Unbelieveable! We have a humidex reading in April. Of course, it's entirely likely that before this month ends, we'll have snow again.

I won't be surprised.

Drive to work wasn't so bad as yesterday's trip home. My head is foggy, though I think that's pollution related. The city is covered in an icky haze of junk.

The perils of living in a metropolitan area. I like my nice suburb. Too bad I have to drive all the way across the city to get to work.

And in other news, Heroes teeny tp tonight.

I'm amused at how many people seem to have decided that now is a good time to plot.

*bouncejumpgrin*

Yay!

You mean to tell me that someone actually apped for a Shadow?

Ohhh ... *chuckles*

Oops?

I never noticed that. *patpats*

I can email it to you ... if I have an email addy for you ....

How about courtly@livejournal.com?

Re:

So you did. And it worked great.

[identity profile] insaint.livejournal.com 2002-04-18 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.. I locked it just so that if the player accidentally stumbles upon my LJ, he won't see me making fun of his app and leave.

Hmm. On second thought... that might not be such a bad thing... =)

Re:

[identity profile] courtly.livejournal.com 2002-04-18 09:12 am (UTC)(link)
*grinsnort* but if he notices the references to that app, like on Damara's... well, ah, who cares - something tells me he's got a sense of humour. I was curious about the blacked-out name, I think I know what it was from the context.

[identity profile] damara.livejournal.com 2002-04-18 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
It wasn't Kosh.

*grins*


And I think this fellow might have a sense of humour. Potentially.

Her LJ is harder to find than mine. For one thing, the lj userid doesn't match her name on RS. :)

[identity profile] insaint.livejournal.com 2002-04-17 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
Yes... and a scary app that was, too.

Re:

[identity profile] damara.livejournal.com 2002-04-17 08:46 am (UTC)(link)
*nodnods*

Very. *grins*

I'm assuming that was /NOT/ on RS?

[identity profile] insaint.livejournal.com 2002-04-17 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
Actually, yes, that was on RS. Hence the blanked out name. :)

Re:

[identity profile] damara.livejournal.com 2002-04-17 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
*grins*

Even scarier.

*shakes head*

Thank you for blanking out names. I don't want to know ....

Re:

[identity profile] talyrath.livejournal.com 2002-04-17 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah. That'll do WONDERS for game balance.

If we get a Shadow ambassador, I reserve the right to shoot spitwads at him. :D

"In Station news, the Kosh, the Vorlon ambassador was reprimanded today for attempting to put the Shadow ambassador's head in a toilet, purportedly to give him a 'swirly'"

Hey, I could play Kosh...

*thinksthinksthinks*

*grins*

Re:

[identity profile] talyrath.livejournal.com 2002-04-17 12:04 pm (UTC)(link)
That would have to be the least rewarding character to play. He would have a total of 5 poses in his repertoire.

Kosh enters.

Kosh stands there.

Kosh looks at you.

Kosh says something cryptic. (Optional)

Kosh leaves.

Well, yes. But if you time it right ... it could be the funniest thing...

On TLBH we did sometimes see people playing Vorlons in a half-decent manner. (Yes, that was Vorlon/s/, plural. TLBH got scary.)

Re: Surprisngly...

[identity profile] damara.livejournal.com 2002-04-17 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
*ack*

You know what? That just sounds scary. Very.

I do want to create a Kosh encounter... if only I could figure out who he'd pick on ...

Re: Surprisngly...

[identity profile] talyrath.livejournal.com 2002-04-17 02:04 pm (UTC)(link)
The mind boggles at the thought.

What can you do if you have a crowd of Vorlons. Maybe have Vorlon races. Put a Vorlon snack at the end of a long hallway and see which Vorlon gets there first. Maybe teach them to sing Vorlon quartet.

The non-canon trouble maker in me just sees endless possiblities. Vorlons aren't very maneuverable, right? I mean in the pilot, someone was able to get close to Kosh and poison him. So you take someone from an anti-Vorlon group, have them catch Kosh...

And stick a big yellow smiley face sticker over his little eye port.

From the Hall Of Fame:

[personal profile] wibbble 2002-04-17 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Close encounters?(#167C)
In Vorlon, Kosh moves to the center of the room, then lets the encounter suit
open, his natural form easing out. He breaths a sigh of relief. "Stuffy in
there, as the humans would say."
Zalkesh does the same, leaving his encounter suit.
In Vorlon, Zalkesh says, "Thats why I had mine made bigger"


Not all of our Vorlons were that good.
(Our other one, though, was good, although I'm biased: http://www.wibbble.clara.co.uk/bob/ )

Don't ask about the Shadow PCs. Really.

Hmm... That reminds me of Spaceballs...

Dark Helmet enters, breathes menacingly a la Darth Vader, then pushes the visor up: "I can't breathe in that thing!" :)

Karaoke nights would be nice too.

Hire Vorlons as jukeboxes.

Oh, btw, do you mean 32C, by chance?

32F is kinda on the cold side. ;)

Re:

[identity profile] damara.livejournal.com 2002-04-17 10:22 am (UTC)(link)
*laughs* Whoops?


Yes, 32C... My bad ...

Well, not when you put it that way ... but ... they are responsible for almost every major plot arc, and they are invisible in some episodes, but present.

And they're too powerful to allow just anyone to play.

And this is different from any other day how?

*snugs*

So long as you're having fun, my friend ... that is the key!

Slick, puppy.

Well, well, what about like a Drizzt do Urden character... you know, a Shadow who has refused his nature, and become a good guy, shunned by his people and outsiders alike! Oh the drama! Oh the... sorry, if I wasn't so tired, I'm sure I could keep this crap going on for paragraphs. :)

Been there, done that - on TLBH.

Someone had a baby Shadow.

Obligatory post, seeing as how I'm about the only person who hasn't. =P

35... no wait, 36 now ... comments. What's your secret? ;)
