He's not exactly near anything that might give him access to the internet at the moment.

The closest thing would be his shiny new 360, which he has coveted as if it were a person. His hiatus isn't exactly a fun-filled adventure, or so I'm guessing. Though he was at least in high spirits when I last saw him as we parted ways after acquiring certain new consoles early November 22nd.

Well my reply was to holdthelineNoobs, because, in my drowsy state, I failed to notice the existence of page 149. I thought his was the last post, so I kind of figured I'd answer. I didn't know Konoka already had.

And yeah, no ETA on the next chapter for now. From Konoka's spoilers and Clark's last post, best I can figure is mid-December.

Konoka, can you just answer me one question? Is Clark in any actual physical or mental peril, or is he just sitting at home playing his 360 all day. Not meaning to bash him if he's doing the latter, I just want to know. His last post made it sound so urgent and drastic and dramatic that I got kind of e-worried.

And as for everybody else... will you guys just chill? As you all can probably guess, by everybody, I ofcourse mean Prowlaz [a.k.a. grunt pimpa/Mrs. Clark]. I've been pretty cool with you before, and by all means, I'm not trying to start a "war" with you. But kid, why are you so angry? In almost all your posts you're hostile towards people in some way, shape, or form. I do admit Ripfang was out of line, but why do you have to stoop to his level? Just let -blam!- like that go. I mean come on guys, it's the internet; it's not going to kill you.

In the meantime I'll sit here and bide my time patiently. Maybe we can even have a civilized conversation to help pass the time of Mr. Clark's absense... oh, who am I kidding.

Just please guys, keep this thread clean. Please.

Ah, well I actually don't know many of the details myself, but he has had these kinds of things happen before, so I would say its likely not too serious.

He was getting very stressed out though, there were a lot of things going on in October that kind of piled up.

Hmm, but I suppose since my duty around here is to give information about Clark when he is indisposed I shall surely do so right now. Here is an AIM conversation I had with him yesterday, when he was at his father's work, picking some things up. It starts in the middle of the convo, because most of the stuff before was pretty stupid stuff that I don't think anyone wants to hear. Not that the rest of it is.

*note* This is essentially just fun reading material for those incredibly bored. If you value your life span, and believe every second of it is precious, skip the wall of text, because otherwise you'll come kill me. *end of note*


clarkman: speaking of tyrannical machines, my 360 sounds like a blender
clarkman: with a cat inside
konoka: lol
konoka: same
konoka: its terrible. my family hates me when i play it, because everyone is forced to listen to pdz at full blast
clarkman: tyler got these weird headphone things that plugged into his tv
clarkman: and suppsedly work as well as 5.1 surround sound
clarkman: i told him i was skeptical, and he hit me upside the head with a turnip
konoka: lol
konoka: turnip attacks are quite dangerous aren't they?
clarkman: especially from that bastard.
konoka: do they actually work?
konoka: the headphones
clarkman: he called me yesterday and was expressing his undying love for them
clarkman: so i'm guessing yes.
konoka: lol
clarkman: he played condemned with them on, and promptly had a nervous breakdown
konoka: haha, terrible
konoka: i still can't see that game being as scary as you guys say it is
clarkman: only those who have never seen true terror can say that
clarkman: i played it at ten a.m yesterday and i was still jumping at every sound
clarkman: and whimpering like a 7 year old girl
konoka: lol
konoka: whats the difference between how you usually act?
clarkman: silence!
konoka: lol remember texas chainsaw massacre?
konoka: remind me again who it was that had their hands covering their eyes during the tense parts?
clarkman: i was expressing ridicule over the movie's terrible plot
konoka: hmmm
konoka: i think a better excuse would be
konoka: that you had a headache from trying to sympathize with the cookie-cutter character stereotypes
clarkman: that is a good one
clarkman: but i wouldn't need a story if you'd just stop telling people about it
konoka: haha
konoka: never
konoka: its a great story. its the first time i've ever been in a situation where the girl is comforting the guy during a scary movie
clarkman: it was all a ploy. i was secretly trying to seduce you
konoka: haha
clarkman: *quickly changing the subject* you can do me a favor
konoka: lol
konoka: i think that's supposed to be "can you do me a favor"
clarkman: no
clarkman: you told vanessa that story at the end of grade 12, and she refused to see any movies with me that had a higher rating than PG-13
clarkman: i had to see 13 going on 30 with her
clarkman: doing me a favor is your punishment
konoka: isn't this a tad belated?
clarkman: no, i've been mulling over it for this past year and a few months, trying to figure out exactly how to get back at you
konoka: revenge is a dish best served cold
clarkman: wise words won't save you!
konoka: haha, ok ok
konoka: i give up, what do i have to do to stem your brewing rage?
clarkman: go to the bungie forums, and let people know this tiny but important fact
konoka: *salutes* to the best of my ability sir!
clarkman: damn straight
clarkman: now that my 360 is up and running, and my live account transferred
clarkman: its absolutely impossible for me to actually return any messages they may have sent me
clarkman: whenever i respond to a text message, or voice message, it tells me that this person i'm sending it to doesn't have a 360 and as such its highly unlikely the message will make the transfer
clarkman: so yeah, out of the 90-something people on my list, over half have been asking me about the 360, and though i'd dearly like to reply, technology is restricting my efforts
clarkman: basically i just don't want them to think im being a 360 snob, and thumbing my nose at them
clarkman: because i'm not, and its actually microsoft doing it, those coniving villains!
konoka: lol
konoka: that's it? not much of a revenge ploy
clarkman: sigh
clarkman: i know, i've always been bad at revenge, like when joy hit me with that juice box container, and as revenge i stole the cookie she bought, only to discover she had picked it up off the floor and was about to throw it out
clarkman: worst bite of a cookie ever
clarkman: i thought i would contract syphillis and die
konoka: haha
konoka: syphillis? unless the person had done some very questionable things to that cookie, i dont think there was much risk
clarkman: oh sure
clarkman: you say that now. but i distinctly recall you feeling my forehead that afternoon in the library and telling me i was looking pale, and i had a fever
konoka: lol i actually remember that
konoka: brian agreed with me though
clarkman: that little jerk has had it in for me since junior high. when we were doing baseball and he crowded the plate, so i beaned him on the arm with the ball
konoka: i've heard that story many times from him
clarkman: it was the first time in the history of the school that a class of 7th graders got into a brawl over a simple pitch
konoka: the whole class?
clarkman: yeah, when he started after me john and lee came to help me, which cleared their bench, then our bench's cleared in response
konoka: you teamed up on him? that's not really fair
clarkman: i had too!
clarkman: in baseball when you rush the pitcher, you throw the bat away, that little bastard held onto it!
konoka: lol
konoka: you guys are terrible
clarkman: what? didn't you girls ever get into class-sized fights before?
konoka: we're too sophisticated
clarkman: i'm rolling my eyes now
konoka: lol
konoka: back on track, i think i can do the bungie thing, but not tonight
clarkman: why not? by tomorrow you'll forget and then i'll come back once everything over here is cleared up, to find that my reader's abandoned me
konoka: christine and I are doing the whole, winter clothes buying. i checked my closet and after realizing that over half my wardrobe consists of skirts and blouses, i decided shopping was in order
clarkman: i don't see why you don't just wear track pants or something under the skirts, i see people do it all the time.
konoka: you mean grade-schoolers? yeah, that's the kind of look i'm going for
clarkman: i don't think it looks weird...
konoka: i refuse to take fashion advice from someone that wore a hoody and baggy cargo pants to commencement
clarkman: we were just wearing those stupid robe things the whole time!
clarkman: no one really noticed. what's the point of dressing up when no one's even going to see what your wearing? frank heins was going to go nude. to this day i'm still not sure if he did it
konoka: lol
konoka: that is a terribly male perspective
clarkman: well i can assuredly tell you that i'm glad you think so
konoka: lol
konoka: i won't forget the bungie thing. i'll do it tomorrow i swear.
clarkman: i don't know, i need a little more reassurance than just your venomous words
konoka: lol
konoka: okay, i'll leave this convo open the whole night, so when i wake up tomorrow it'll be the first thing i see after i get dressed
clarkman: you'll probably just delete it and forget everything, wondering why you were foolish enough to leave a conversation window open for everyone to see.
konoka: worried about my mother hearing all the torrid love poems we write each other?
clarkman: terribly so
clarkman: especially about our passionate embrace as we danced under the moonlight on your porch
konoka: oh yes, "Ode to a Creaky Floorboard"
konoka: that was my favorite
clarkman: lol
clarkman: all right, i'm somewhat relieved now.
konoka: you should be,i'm a very trustworthy person
clarkman: says the girl who once tricked me into believing she was


Hmm, no one needs to hear the rest of that conversation....>_>

So yes, keep in mind most of what we said to each other is a product of two very twisted senses of humor.

Some might point out that I said I'd tell you guys about the Xbox/360 intercommunication problems early in the morning, and its a little after midnight here. Lets just keep that between us.

  • 11.28.2005 12:30 PM PDT

Phoenix is dead, long live Phoenix!
Is it?

Mmmmn Konoka I dont think Mr Clark wanted you to post the whole AIM convo, but I'm glad you did it was quite funny.

Prowlaz drop it. no more flaming each other from anyone its not needed.

Until that magical date where the next chapter of this amazing saga comes out what are we going to do, unfortunatly we're probably going to flame each other and ruin this thread unless we change it into something else like a flood order 66 thing, just out of interest "flood order 66"??????

EDIT: oh and hold the line... how did you come up with that name?

I may be wrong, but maybe he plays lots of war games? Hold the line is common term used to command your troops to defend your line of offense. When enemy troops are rushing your bunker/trench/etc., you try to hold them behind a virtual line, so they can't get close enough to engage in hand-to-hand combat with your troops.

Anyways, I'm glad Mr. Clark ain't in any mortal peril. That would've just sucked. I also like how you posted a large section of the AIM convo. It was quite amusing, to say the least. I especially liked:

clarkman: it was the first time in the history of the school that a class of 7th graders got into a brawl over a simple pitch
konoka: the whole class?
clarkman: yeah, when he started after me john and lee came to help me, which cleared their bench, then our bench's cleared in response
konoka: you teamed up on him? that's not really fair
clarkman: i had too!
clarkman: in baseball when you rush the pitcher, you throw the bat away, that little bastard held onto it!


That last line literally had me laughing for like five minutes.

Well, since I have nothing else to talk about, I'll rant about the 360. Now all you fanboys, please don't get all riled up on me, but personally I see no reason in buying it anytime soon... or at least until Halo 3 comes out anyway. It hasn't even been out a week and already people have discovered how to put homebrew on it (not necessarily a bad thing, but it shows Microsoft's inferiority in hardware), it crashes a lot, it overheats, it's very noisy. I mean, other than the graphics, I seriously see no positives to it. I played Call of Duty 2 at my neighborhood EB for about 10 minutes... and I got bored to death. Mind you, I didn't get bored of the gameplay... I got bored of the Xbox. Yes, I am fully aware that made absolutely no sense whatsoever.

The only time I plan to purchase a 360 is on the release night of Halo 3. I'm fully aware Microsoft is planning to release it on the launch night of the Playstation 3, and that just works out in my favor. I'll camp out at Best Buy, and walk out of the store holding a 360, a PS3, and my very own copy of Halo 3. =) Given the fact I know I'll get jumped by someone either way, but whatever. It's kind of going to suck actually. The PS3 fanboys are going to hate me because I would be purchasing an Xbox, and the Halo 3 fans are going to hate me for purchasing a PS3. I'm going to be a very hated person. =(

But most of all, you know who I feel sorry for? The people who bought 360's on eBay the night of it's release. I mean, how much must that suck. We all know the first batch of 360 were defective. Deny it all you want, but it's the truth. And some of these people dished out up to $2,200USD (highest 360 auction to date) to buy a defective product online. And to top it off, they can't exactly return it, because they didn't buy it from a store. Ouch.

Hmmm, I'm glad you guys found some enjoyment out of that online convo. I guess until Clark returns I can just make a habit of taking bits of pieces from other ones that have a very small relevance to this thread.

Someone asked about the Sharquoi (spelling?), and while I don't have a concrete answer, I have taken a look at his notes before. Whenever I see Clark carrying his notebook, I always make a habit of reading it, and a couple months ago I remember he did an outline for the later half of the story, and detailed things like the Forerunner, Half Breed, and Majal's appearences in which chapters.

Lower on down the list, the name Sharquoi was there, and next to it's name was simply a question mark, and the words "Later on". I found it interesting cause at the time i couldn't remember what the Sharquoi were. I thought they were just another new species Clark's twisted mind had given birth to.

We might see them, probably in the next few chapters perhaps, because if they don't appear then, I really can't see them appeareing at all.

Usually when purchasing something like this through an auction the receipt would be shipped with the item. Either way, Microsoft has a 90 day warranty on the product regardless of how you acquired it. - LE

what are the sharquoi anyway they weren't in any books or the games but the name showed up once in the conversations from the universe in the special edition halo 2 but it wasn't classified as to what it is or any other details.
