Well, there's no evidence that drugs are involved in the two groups...in fact, the Zentraedi may be well aware of the REALITY.

Well considering that according to game cannon that the Master dope up the zents it's hard for them to tell what is Real Real and Drug Real.

Which leads to some how shall we say *entertaining* moments when one of the Zents freaks out at the controls of his mech which leads to ten digit range property damage values.

But at lest the general public is saving massive amounts of money on urban renewal costs even if say *urban renewal* is largely unplanned and semi controlled.

So far all my mine have done is trip over the pencils and dice on my dining room table.

So you are saying that they are *drop* troops?

If a gaming miniature trips and falls in the middle of the night, and nobody's awake to hear it, does it make a sound?

You'd have to ask the hard core gamers that have been awake for that last week or so straight.

Well, now the castle that's being defended by two Battlepods and a Spartan destroid is also host to a miniature plastic pony, a small kitten plushy, all atop various towers, and is flanked by two godzilla-sized cat plushies. As conversation pieces go, it's one of the odder combinations...and that's just from the perspective of the castle defenders....

And you thought garden gnomes led interesting lives....

there actually is a miniatures game where the scale is 1:1.. Fairymeat. a game where you control cannibalistic fairies hunting each other, wit hthe 25mm tall mini's being 'actual size' rather than scale. the first expansion added gnomes, which could be represented with the smaller lawn gnome figures..

Nice, thanks for the share.

Fairy Meat?, does that mean the wee folk would be considered tater tots to the bigger races?

In one of the Rifters there -is- a recipe for a fairie dish consumed by orcs and other monsters, that gives them temporary flight capabilities. Faerie Wing Soup, I believe.

#32 :Mega-Steel Chef'. It is indeed Faerie-Wing Soup, and it renders the eater immune to fear.

Thanks also give that there is a " Defense Against The Dark Arts " it's safe to say that there is other kinds of magic being taught at MCHS#69 so with that said or that some of the Nerd Boys have created a rift machine it's a safe bet that the more *enterprising* students have been jumping to fantasy worlds and capturing the Wee Folk and feeding them a steady diet of FOL and then selling them to other students so they can lick them and get a buzz going like some people use to lick toads in Pre Rain times or selling them to the cafeteria staff as " Fairy Fries " also " Fairy Licking. " is *VERY* popular at the Sisters Of Repentant Woes.

There's probably a hamster tank full of faeries. If students are unlucky, they get assigned to feed the little blighters and clean out the cage....

Beige Squadron member: "Wait...-WE're- faerie-sized!!!!!"
Gray Squadron member: "Ah, the light dawns. (mimes opening a communications link) Psych clean-up in supply hold six. Psych clean-up in supply hold six."

they should be happy that they haven't attracted the attention of a kaiju (aka - a cat or dog)

That's easy...I no longer have any live animals in the house...aside from the moths, spiders, and possible silverfish.

so Grey squadron would probably assume there is an invid infestation?

Until they encounter the old Matchbox Invid Gurab....THEN, it's Kaiju time.

(POV pulls back to show the little destroid jumping up and down on the push button of a can of 'Raid', while three others push and slowly 'waddle' the upright can into position)

Of course with the warm weather, we now got -ants-. which are proper invid scale to them.
"Get behind the ant baits...no, the CLAYMORE MINES! Yeah, that's right!"

*Presses the claymore mine detonator and watched as there is a spark but no blast*

Gray Company Regult Pilot: "I'm all alone on this dusty plain, contemplating a grim future...all alone, in the night, poised on the edge of eternity..."
Beige Squadron Destroyed Pilot: "You're standing on the top of the speakers for the damned household sound system! Lousy sods don't dust! Like they don't finish up my Phalanx! Who the hell loses interest when the glue tube gets stuck, leaving artillery support with only a completed upper torso?! Lazy ass! If it wasn't for smart missile control and the ability to loop missiles onto the target regardless of the direction I'm facing, I'd be absolutely USELESS! I'm supposed to be a mobile weapons system, not a BUNKER!"

"That deep space battle you think we're missing out on? It's really the fireflies outside the dining room window....."

[taalismn]

Regult Pilot: "...hello? Picket Dron here...I got knocked off the stereo and am currently somewhere on the dining room floor, buried under loose trash...Can somebody come dig me out? Hello? Heeelllloooooooo.........Help? Anybody?....on the other hand, it is sure nice and quite here...."

Recovery Pod Pilot: "I wonder if we should tell Dron the toddler is going to reach him before we do?"

No toddlers in my household...and the vacuum cleaner's not likely to be a threat either...

Anyways...
"Wait, Dron! You were on the lighthouse model ALL THIS TIME!!! How do you explain that call from the dining room floor?!"
"Ah, I can throw my voice -really- well?"
"Still doesn't explain why you filed a false position report when, in fact, you were atop some of the best real estate in the room!"
"...momentarily taken aback by the sheer beauty of the seaside?"
"You're perched atop a lighthouse model in a house at least thirty miles from the sea!"
"Ah, it's the metaphysical ocean of notion!"
"You're trying to wax poetic, Dron...are you sure you're not drunk?"

[taalismn]

Beige Squadron Destroid Pilot:(*Knock-knock*) "Hey, dude, when are you going to finally glue together my mecha's lower torso and MAKE ME MOBILE?!"

[taalismn]

"Man! Look at that blizzard out there!"
"Hardly a blizzard....that's what? 0.3 of an inch of snow?"
"Dude, we're only three inches tall! Just about ANYTHING'S a blizzard to us! Just be glad nobody asks us to SHOVEL anything!"
"Yep, advantages to being indoor models."

[taalismn]

Meanwhile, on a table in a household somewhere in the Real World....

A small spider drops a thread down to a lighthouse sculpture where a Gray Company Regult is standing on the (wooden) rocks. standing silent sentry, covered with a fuzz of dust.
Spider: "Yo, Zob."
Regult Pilot: "Hi, Spi."
"How's it going."
"Nothing doing. I stand here gathering winter dust and watch out the window. The usual. You?"
"Spin a web here, spin a web there, eat a moth, avoid the swatter. The usual."
"See you around, Spi."
"Know where to find you, Zob."
