I hope that got everyone's attention.

My name is Tawny March, and as I'm sure you've noticed, I have Codex as my handle. That's because she's my aunt (my mum was her sister) and I want to honour the woman she was.

Egotistical and sanctimonious? That's your perogative to believe. Better tomorrow, power of today, blah, blah, blah, you know the PR.

Yes, I'm with Utopia (*ducks under all the anti-Utopian abuse*) and I came here to meet some of the people who 'corrupted' my aunt (direct quote from a superior who'll remain nameless).

So... hello! And whatever you give, I will surely return. I'm not one of the T2M showponies, after all.

Decided on a name for next week yet?

Awww, ain't you cute? Molt got you in a bad mood?

Greetings, fellow doer of goodness! I am, of course, The Crusader, and am pleased to meet you!

I've met your aunt, the fine feathered friend I knew as Samhra. True to her Utopian roots, she fought the good fight here in the Windy City, fighting for truth, justice and the American way! I'm sure she'll be pleased as punch to find that you've followed in her footsteps!

Time for me to get back to patrol, now. Tally-ho!

Welcome to the boards Codex. I've met your aunt on several occassions. Youlve got some big shoes to fill. I wish you the best of luck in your duties.

Ronnie's niece, huh? You the same piece of ass she was when she was your age? With a name like 'Tawny', I'd certainly fucking hope so.

Love the homage, bookworm. Have fun playing with the big boys.

I never had the fortune to meet your aunt, but I know she was a wonderful woman. I hope you manage to fill her shoes as some others have put it. Good luck.

Thanks, everybody!

I have no intention of filling Samhra's shoes. We are two very different individuals who are going in entirely different directions.

In her defence, the death of Warlady shook her up bad, and Singularity got in at a bad moment.

That's all I can say on the issue.

Hello. I do not know the aunt you speak of. There are many novas today. It is not easy to keep aware of all.

Fools! Round eye slippy slippy girl aunt very famous. Number five son greatly knowledged on Maclachlan and lobster lover. Is cautionary tale for stupid nova children.

Master Wu Tang leave you with great wisdom now.

Sounds more like words of bad acid to me...

Lobster, goes good with melted butter and seasoned bread crumbs.

Master Wu Tang nod auspiciously in general direction of dark cloud yang creature. Make slippy slippy with seafood very bad.

...

OK, I give up. What does one say in response to something like that? Seek treatment?

Tawny, hau and welcome. I know your aunt well, and owe her a good deal of thanks. You would be a welcome visitor in my home, regardless of your association with Project Utopia.

Idiot woman. Master Wu Tang enlighten. Agree very bad to make slippy slippy with seafood.

Gwaipoh ham sup.

Ya know, it was funny for a bit, but now you're just saying the same damn thing.

*yawn*

Speak to gwaipoh for complaint. Master Wu Tang only note wisdom often echo in cavern cavity of gwai brain before is heard.

Isn't it true that the hollow vessel will make the loudest sound?

Welcome, Tawny. I've worked with your aunt at the Windy City Knights. If you're in Chicago, feel free to stop by and say hello.

Someone has definitely hit the rice wine a bit too much lately...

Welcome to the Carnival, Tawny, or at least the side-show. Don't mind the boys... It's all that nasty, pent-up sexual frustration that makes them so cranky.

Someone should really do something about that.

Guess it does run in families. Nice.

Hi Tawny, hope you're enjoying the node.

Thanks, everybody.

Welcome Codex. I also know your aunt. Say, do you know how she is? I haven't heard from her in forever!

She has to be around. She has her thread around here.

At least the name has stayed in the family. Goodness knows if some young nodespark grabbed it up and drug it through the mud.

Tawny? Like the color? I hear that and I can only think of hair. How come your parents named you a hair color before you had hair? What if you stayed bald?

Man, that would have been a bitch.
