[And once again, in the warm, cozy, Secret Volcano Base...]

[ilpacock]

Thank you for once again attending the ACROSS writing circle. I hope that the week since our last meeting has been a productive one for you, and that the progress on your NaNoWriMos has been fulfilling. I, for one, have had no difficulty meeting the quota, and I assume all of you are the same...

Who would like to share an excerpt with the group?

Heil, Il Palazzo! - OH MY GOD! He remembered!

[ilpacock]

*perhaps, but he's having difficulty remembering who you are*

Good evening. Have you written anything of interest?

[outer_monologue]

Of course, Lord Il Palazzo! Where would you like me to start?

[ilpacock]

Wherever you like.

[skyentific]

Pick me, pick me~!

[skyentific]

-- oh, right, and HEIL IL PALAZZO! Oh my god, I remembered!

[ilpacock]

I can see you are most enthusiastic. Let us hear the fruit of your efforts.

[skyentific]

My efforts are fruitier than Toucan Sam, sir! You won't be disappointed! This part is from chapter twelve, when our lovely protagonist Laserina's life takes a turn for... the dramatic!! DUN DUN DAAAH!

Roboreginald turned to his beautiful wife with a handsome shine on his face-plate. "Farewell, my love... I shall miss you dearly on your super-unsuspicious business trip to Space Jamaica!"
"And I you, love of my half-life," she said, "but don't worry! This definitely isn't the kind of story where something dramatic might happen and ruin our happiness forever."
Their LCD lips interfaced briefly, and in that moment, Laserina and the narrator reflected upon the cruel irony of her last statement! Yes, in the tradition of stories that were definitely written by someone who knows things about dramatic tension, stuff was going down! For little did Roboreginald know about Laserina's romantic love affair with the dashing rogue software pirate Fabulo who was planning to meet Laserina in Space Jamaica...

PAUSE FOR EFFECT!

... or that

[latrine_orderly]

TH-THANK YOU, SIR! I'M LOOKing foward to showing you...

[ilpacock]

[slightly_anemic]

Heil Il Palazzo!

[ilpacock]

Do you have anything for us, Hyatt?

[slightly_anemic]

Yes, my lord. Ah, just a moment...

[ilpacock]

Take your time.

[ilpacock]

Oh, and of course I'll be sharing a portion of mine as well...

At some point I deemed the production to be far too unimportant to consume my time, and thus I chose to write my book in the form of an illustrated encyclopedia.
