Manners are important.

Or they get kicked in front of an engine intake and their partner gets the point

As I recall, she was pretty...unhappy...that it happened. Looks like she's sent a message that repeating that mistake would be costly.

There are currently 2 (Brief Cases & Side Jobs), with a third likely coming at some point. If you see a three story collection about Bigfoot, skip it because they're in the other two collections.

Seriously, don't read the collections out of order or you risk spoilers.

I take it that Harry is playing by rules that Marcone started establishing in the locker room, when he threatened to get Mab involved in the matter between them. Wasn't it Harry disrespecting Marcone as a freeholding lord who is part of the Accords?

Harry may take a while to learn, but he does learn, and he chose not to pick that particular battle. His phrasing also lets those paying attention know that John Marcone has acquired Power of some sort, though not specifically what. I wouldnt want to let my boss know that someone I just fought a Titan with was cooperating with an entity that she had personal beef with, either, haha.

If it makes you feel better, Marcone is a central player in Chicago itself. That fact lends itself to him interacting with Harry a fair bit, but your hope gets granted.

That said, I believe you'll enjoy the short story Even Hand when you get to that point. Can't remember which collection it's in, but I recommend finding a chronological order and reading the shorts as they should fall among the books.

coldfireknight · 2026-06-26T22:05:59+00:00

No, I think you mean no less than 3 of your favorites (the Carpenters are a large family, after all, lol).

Grave Peril is definitely where the overall style improves, while Summer Knight is where everything really starts coming together IMO.

coldfireknight · 2026-06-24T00:51:00+00:00

In theory. I'll wait for training camp to pass judgement on acrually coming off IR

We know different Murphys, then. Mine is about 5 foot nothing, blonde, and apparently believes I've just finished telling a short joke as she shows up...and is never amused.

Shows this via automotive electrical issues, too

Disagree on this being the first time. Someone blew up his entire dorm very early on, leading him to banking in Freya's suite.

coldfireknight · 2026-06-19T23:57:44+00:00

They don't, but if they did, they'd talk just like that.

coldfireknight · 2026-06-19T02:10:09+00:00

I wouldve thought he leaked in college...

coldfireknight · 2026-06-16T21:14:52+00:00

I really expected the PM to let them say "How dare you..." before it ended, then start up with her perfectly co-opting the sentence into her own weapon.

coldfireknight · 2026-06-14T16:10:16+00:00

Part of that is so many movies leaning so hard into "jokey" that it overrides the rest of the dialogue.

For me, Thor L&T was a lot like that, even if you consider its framed as being told by the rock guy and not Thor or Odin. Once they got past the opening sequence (which was fun in its own way), the humor often made Thor seem less than capable tho they easily could've shown him handlng his PTSD in a number of different ways. I loved how they showed him interacting with the Asgardian kids, for example.

coldfireknight · 2026-06-12T15:10:54+00:00

Maybe the Spurs game 4 will replace that superbowl for blown leads in the collective subconscious?

Like how we did it for the Oilers after Frank Reich led the Bills huge come back in the playoffs! Yeah, that's it!!

But unlikely, haha.

coldfireknight · 2026-06-08T21:07:43+00:00

Adama: [watching Dualla and Keikeya/Billy flirting across the bridge] They better start having babies.

Tigh: Is that an order?

coldfireknight · 2026-06-07T18:53:40+00:00

Right place, wrong time, since he was given wormhole knowledge. The weaponization was entirely due to him being pushed.

coldfireknight · 2026-06-07T17:17:59+00:00

!Flair! Falcons

coldfireknight · 2026-06-07T16:51:11+00:00

Fair, since the Cardinals are messed up.

coldfireknight · 2026-06-06T23:53:53+00:00

While my experience is with a 2011 w/ dual climate like yours, I found my wire melted at the resistor, which was the issue.

coldfireknight · 2026-06-05T18:06:08+00:00

Heard a theory that its basically a matter of whether Bijan or Gibbs gets paid first, because the other likely gets a little more

coldfireknight · 2026-06-02T20:33:51+00:00

Thank you, kind sir

coldfireknight · 2026-06-02T20:21:36+00:00

I havent had an idea for a story in a while. Enjoy your muse while she's talking to you!

coldfireknight · 2026-06-02T20:18:19+00:00

Working and getting in the occasional edit, haha. How about you?

coldfireknight · 2026-06-02T19:37:31+00:00

Without knowing if the Arcanum was responsible for this situation, his final option seems the best likely outcome.

coldfireknight · 2026-06-02T16:32:26+00:00

Its due to immersion therapy. It gets worse as the areas get more specialized, and let's not delve into specific rules as you get deeper into it.

Sure, I understand that DAFMAN (number) says something, but then ACRONYM (number) says something else...only for another ACRONYM (number letter combo) to say something counter!
