"It's about you," said Silly Putty with a sigh. "You and you plan. I sincerely think it's wrong. And deep down, I suspect you might not be so sure yourself. And yet, you instruct me to save the world, and I obey, like I'm still your right-hand blob. It's crazy, that's what it is" "Sometimes, crazy is all that's left," said Doppler sagely. "My methods may well be far beyond what is considered normal, but there's no other way. I assure you, I have only good intentions." "Then prove it," said Silly Putty. "Let our minds become one, so we can't keep secrets. Share with me my sadness, and I'll share with you my joy." TBC... (Okay, Adrian, if you do, for some reason, go along with this, you'll soon find out what the surprise is. I must warn you, however, it may damage Doppler's psyche. It involves a rather interesting part of Doppler's past, though nothing that hasn't already been established.) >> TBC (Sorry it's so short. Your turn, Adrian.

Your move, Adrian. Oh, and I suppose there's no way to get in touch with you except e-mail? .sig not included. Shard Fields on AGNP Megasomething on ATT
