After making a discovery in the temple behind the waterfall, and subsequently retriving both the bowl and the sickle that were missing from the statue of Kali, Indy and Lara finally return to the original temple and uncover the Brahmastra, at which point Indy promptly disappears.

Dated to March 31.

Indy'd had it with fighting his way through jungles. Maybe sitting in classrooms teaching starry-eyed freshmen wasn't glamorous, but at least it required less insect repellant and upper body strength. Fighting his way down to the beach was one thing. Fighting his way through the seldom-traveled territory north-west of the mountain was proving to be ( Read more... )

As surgeons, we spend much of our lives indoors. Seventy hour shifts, buried deep in the O.R., emerging in the middle of the night. We get our sunlight from patient's windows. And the occasional ferryboat ride. Nature isn't something we really do.In just over two month's time, Meredith had acclimated to living on a magical tropical island in the ( Read more... )

Indy had a whole map drawn on the flyleaf of his book now, part of it coming from the notes he'd examined up in the military compound and part of it coming from his own notes and observations.

Ever since the island had changed into crazy jungle mode, Chloe had been doing her best to document what she found while exploring. She didn't have any space for a Wall of Weird here, so she'd made a Notebook of Weird instead. Thankfully, the section on weirdnesses she'd heard about was longer than the section on weirdnesses she'd experienced ( Read more... )

Well, Operation: Lose V-Card was still a rousing failure.

Yuffie was ready to abandon it, or almost ready. The idea of conceding defeat irritated her on a deep, spiritual level, but it appeared that her options were:

1.) lower standards: ie, sleep with any old guy provided he had working equipmentNot okay, since that was how you caught herpes ( Read more... )

It was probably pretty unprofessional to be spending his office hours picking at the scab on his arm, but considering the fact that he'd once held office hours teaching curling in the middle of a frozen ocean, he figured most people didn't care. Plus, picking at the deadened tissue on his arm wasn't the only thing he was doing. There were a few ( Read more... )

The world was crumbling all around them and Indiana was right in the middle of it. Again ( Read more... )
