"Cynic One.  Cynic Base.  I have you exiting the airlock.  You're looking good, Cynic One." "I'm wearing a space suit, Cynic Base.  You can't see anything.  Of course I'm going to look good in it."  Daria smirked as she heard chuckling over the radio. "Cynic One, this is Cynic Doc.  I'm reading an elevated heart rate that's near the top of the scale.  Please pause for thirty." "Cynic Doc.  Cynic One.  Anything that I need to be worried about?" She imagined the doctor double checking hi

Crash on Volturnus By Dr. Mike Story originally created by Mark Acres and Tom Moldvay with Doug Niles. Story originally edited by Troy Denning. Original story copyright 1982 by TSR Inc. Daria Morgendorffer leaned her head against the wall of the shower and closed her eyes. She had retreated into the warmth of the hot water ever since the captain of the Serena Dawn had notified her via ship intercom that they were entering orbit around the planet Volturnus. Daria had thanked the captain, paged Dorin to start scans of the planet, and run for the shower. She sighed as she lifted her head and reached for the shampoo once again. Reaching out a

The parties continued into the night. The warriors ignored how the peasants hadn't lifted a finger to help, refused them all the permits that they needed, tripled the taxi fare rates within the city, and shorted their linen exchange. The battle was over. They were victorious. Any excuse for a party. And a chance to lift as many purses as possible from the hung over crowds. Greyhound was expensive and the remaining warriors wanted to leave first thing in the morning. They had already heard about the upcoming "Winning the War" tax that was going into effect in the morning. The frail figure nearly tripped over the broken walkway. She rubbed her

The Jungle - Part #4 by Dr. Mike The Jungle - Part #4 by Dr. Mike We start with an overhead shot over the jungle.  We see trees, lots and lots of trees, nothing but trees.  The camera slowly starts to pan backwards and we discover more trees.  There are trees to the left and trees to the right.  Lots of trees.  There's more trees here than, um, you could shake a stick at.  I mean you would think there would only be a few trees but when you think the forest ends, there's more trees.  Hey, that tree looks familiar.  Didn't it play the tree second to the left behind the Lane's house when they did a long distance shot?   Hmmm, maybe not.  We

The Jungle - Part #3 by Dr. Mike The Jungle - Part #3 by Dr. Mike Again, no introduction, straight to the story. Ext. View: Somewhere deep in the South American jungle. We see Jane, Vincent, Quinn, and Lynn all bunched up in a small group sitting on the ground in tall grass. What appears to be Daria passed out lays face down near Lynn. Lynn is still holding her pistol and is glaring outward. A large group of native tribesmen armed with spears surround our heroes. The warriors don't look too happy as they get closer and closer and closer and... Quinn: (Looking worried.) Um, Vincent? Vincent: Don't worry. If they wanted to do us harm, th

The Jungle - Part #2 by Dr. Mike The Jungle - Part #2 by Dr. Mike No introduction. We go right to the piece. View: A black screen. We can only make out the howling of wind. A small bit of white smoke begins to drift from the right side of the screen. The smoke continues across the screen as the picture begins to get lighter. We begin to see a jungle clearing filed with smashed trees and debris from a plane. The movement of the smoke is now seen as the camera moving its way across the view from left to right. The camera passes bits of broken metal and crates, the wood smashed on impact. The scene changes to show the plane's tail section w

The Jungle - Part #1 by Dr. Mike The Jungle - Part #1 by Dr. Mike Disclaimer: I once again thank Canadibrit for the use of her characters AP and Lynn that exist in her universe of Daria fanfiction. Just for the record, this planned series really mucks up her timeline so it should be taken as completely unofficial from her work. I came up with a story line that involved her characters and the ones from the show and have just gone with it. I'm just here telling a story. Another Disclaimer: There are a few choice words in the fic that follows. I believe they are used correctly and without overdoing them. Just be fair warned. Dr Mike does

For Roger... by Dr. Mike For Roger... by Dr. Mike by Dr. Mike The evening was in full swing as Tika stepped over passed out farm hand and set the loaded tray down on the table.  As she passed out the plates of potatoes, her eyes kept roaming back to the old man sitting in the corner with one child on his knee and surrounded by many others.  He had entered the Inn during the slow afternoon, past mealtime and continued into the evening.  He had spent most of it talking to the patrons as if they knew each other for their entire lives but no one could figure out what his name was or where he was from.  She shrugged as she remembered the many
