A little something brewed up between myself and Antagonist....

A few rules for an SI character to live by in the Big City......

------------------------------------
1: I will not Use Priss' true first name......ever
2: Nor will I point out that Anri and Sylivie did murder several
people while Priss is crying over Sylvie's body
3: I will not refer to the frontline ADPolice as 'crunchies'
4: I will not Show Mackie the directory on my laptop marked 'Lemons'
5: I will not say "Trust me, I know what I'm doing" After showing
Sylia the contents of the directory marked 'Zone'
6: I will not make any attempts at metafiction, or try to convince
people they are nothing more than characters in an animé
7: I will not try to set Priss up with Leon.
8: Try to set Leon up with Daley.
9: Try to set Priss up with Sylia.
10: Videotape any of the above for profit.
11: I will not take any 33-S 'for a Joyride'.
12: Especially not more than one.
13: I will not invoke rule 11 by claiming Linna's refusal to return my
calls is a violation of rule 8
14: I will not put legs on an arsenal and call it a hardsuit
15: I will not build anything that can destroy more than one(1) city
block
16: I will not start a chop-shop selling StingrayTech.
17: I will not build a BattleMech using StingrayTech
18: I will not sell salvaged Boomer weapons to Americans over eBay.
19: I will not Use my sexaroid abilities to manipulate the others into
making a multi-some skinflick.
20: I will not Use my sexaroid abilities to give Mackie nosebleeds.
Bloodstains are hard to remove.
21: I will not use my sexaroid abilities to get out of parking
tickets.
22: I will not accuse Sylia of being a boomeroid. This is completely
untrue and amounts to nothing more than slanderous libel.
23: I will not paint my hardsuit Red and arm it with a Giant Drill.
24: Nor wear Yoko Littner cosplay anywhere Mackie can see.
25: I will not start writing the fanfiction of my life until AFTER I
have gotten home.

I think my Avatar did that.......

My Avatar did warn Sylia about that little detail.......

Too late......

Too late again......Sylia already knows, with the OVAs in hand.......

Tried that.......

> 9: Try to set Priss up with Sylia.

Well, since my avatar is trying #7, #8 and #9 are on the back
burner....

But what happens if they decide to take YOU for that joyride??

Or vice versa.....

Why not? An Atlas stomping up to Genom tower might be just the thing
Quincy needs for a wake-up call.....

How do you think Sylia funds the Knight Sabers??

Well, since my Avatar has none of those, I think there's no problems
there.....

Plus when her eyes turn red and she starts growing.....RUN!!!

My Avatar prefers black with a BFG......

Not unless I want Mackie to become viloently ill......

Assuming you can get home again....

"Priscilla, Queen of the Sabers" just doesn't have the right ring to it.

>2: Nor will I point out that Anri and Sylivie did murder several

Especially if that would cause Nene to try to arrest them. Or me, as an
accomplice.

>3: I will not refer to the frontline ADPolice as 'crunchies'

... because that's an insult to _real_ "crunchies".

>4: I will not Show Mackie the directory on my laptop marked 'Lemons'

I'll let him use his l33t haxx0r skillz to find it himself.

>5: I will not say "Trust me, I know what I'm doing" After showing

...because Craig A. Reed probably wouldn't like the competition.

>6: I will not make any attempts at metafiction, or try to convince

...because Bob Schroeck probably wouldn't like the competition (at least
in Lisa Vanette's case).

>7: I will not try to set Priss up with Leon.

If I did that, then I'd have to follow up by setting Ranma up with
Akane, and _that's_ not safe for my health.

>8: Try to set Leon up with Daley.

...while I'm in the same hemisphere. Leon's too good a shot.

>9: Try to set Priss up with Sylia.

(Sweetling.)

>10: Videotape any of the above for profit.

Personal archives, OTOH...

>11: I will not take any 33-S 'for a Joyride'.
>12: Especially not more than one.

... at a time.

>13: I will not invoke rule 11 by claiming Linna's refusal to return my
>calls is a violation of rule 8

...because she'd counter-invoke Rule 10 and we'd both be in trouble.

>14: I will not put legs on an arsenal and call it a hardsuit

...because Bert van Vliet probably wouldn't like the competition.

>15: I will not build anything that can destroy more than one(1) city
>block

...because I _know_ what GENOM thinks of competition.

>16: I will not start a chop-shop selling StingrayTech.

...without giving Pops... er, Doctor Raven... a cut.

>17: I will not build a BattleMech using StingrayTech

...because Twister probably wouldn't like the competition.

>18: I will not sell salvaged Boomer weapons to Americans over eBay.

...without seeing their end-user permits first.

>19: I will not Use my sexaroid abilities to manipulate the others into
>making a multi-some skinflick.

...because Kris Overstreet probably wouldn't -- oh, wait, I used that
one already. DYO!

>20: I will not Use my sexaroid abilities to give Mackie nosebleeds.
>Bloodstains are hard to remove.

Besides, Anri _needs_ that blood.

>21: I will not use my sexaroid abilities to get out of parking
>tickets.

Especially if the cop is Nene; she doesn't seem to have a libido to
affect.

>22: I will not accuse Sylia of being a boomeroid. This is completely
>untrue and amounts to nothing more than slanderous libel.

At least, that's what she says every time she reboots. Oh, was that out
loud?

>23: I will not paint my hardsuit Red and arm it with a Giant Drill.

((...I've got nothing here... -RK))

>24: Nor wear Yoko Littner cosplay anywhere Mackie can see.

...because the last thing we need is Mackie thinking a BGC/Gurren Lagann
crossover might be a good idea.

>25: I will not start writing the fanfiction of my life until AFTER I

That way, I don't have to pay the others royalties!

OMG, chortling beer through your nose IS worse than chortling coke.
I'm still chuckling about the sweetling bit!

Who is Twister, BTW? And what did he write concerning BT/BGC?

Title character in "Twisted Path", chapter 3 of which is set in a BGC
alternate (where he makes use of a BattleMech).

Mh...pity. Don't care much for Ranma fics...

I'm positive I once saw the link to a BT/BGC crossover, but I remember
neither the place nor its name. Since I've never even once stumbled
across any reference about it since then, I'm either a victim of my
own wishful thinking or that fic was horribly bad. Thought this may
have been related to it...

Thanks anyways.

Hey, this is GL we're talking about- I'm not sure that there is such a
thing as "too much" in that universe.
