...this isn't Yuma.
Steed has shut down and I can't raise the Ramrod on any frequency. April? Colt? Fireball? Do you read me?
Where the bloody hell am I...?
OOC: For one week, Neocontra has traded one British knight-errant for another: Saber Rider of Saber Rider & The Star Sherrifs (or Richard Lancelot of Seijushi Bismarck if you'd rather).

[Kane's voice is calm, composed, neutral. Impossibly so.]
What ye did was uncalled for.
God is not thy Arabian genie. No matter how badly ye might wish it were so. To vent thy despair upon Him...is a waste. Take it from me.
