"Let us call him 'X'."
"Make it 'Z', 'X' is overworked."
"Except that 'Z' had nothing to do with this matter," came the reply, referring to Zack Taylor, occasionally called by his employees 'Z' or 'Mr. Z'.

"Last time I got woke up before I finished a sleep cycle, I ended up remember a dream where I drove a car with a bulldozer blade into a concrete divider to keep from rear-ending a truck and Japanese police responded... in America."
"You haven't been sharing Jon's stash, have you?"
"Not recently."
**==
"It sounds like something Magnus would do..."
"What sounds like something I would do?" J.T. asked, breezing in with a bottle of Mountain Dew in his hand.
"I swear he hears it when we take his name in vain," Ethan muttered.
"Speake ye not of the Devil, lest he appear," J.T. informed him, "I run a close second. What do you got?"
"Couple of blips on our 'friend' Malleus."
"Not the book?" J.T. asked, referring to the fact that so far all attempts to find information on Malleus Maleficarum only ended up directing them to the book of the same name.
"Nope, wrong continent, wrong time," Daniel answered.
"Why do you think he calls himself that anyway?" Ethan wondered.
"Tell you what, Little Boy Blue," J.T. said, clapping him on the shoulder with his free hand, "When he's broken and bleeding at our feet with my Power Bolter point-blank at his head, you can ask him. Daniel?"
"Middle East, Thirteenth Century."
"Two hundred years before the book, Crusades era," J.T. noted.
"Right."
**==
"I recognize that look. Every time you start getting that look, Magnus, we end up sticking our heads in a lion's mouth."
"Come on, Danny, it's never that bad."
"A year ago you got that look, poked a stone circle and we all ended up in spandex," Daniel countered.
"Coincidence."
"Two years ago at that convention."
"Happenstance."
"Last month, just before you put yourself into a coma."
"Enemy action?" J.T. shrugged, "Besides, don't you know that dragon trumps lion every time?"
Daniel rolled his eyes, "Why did the Roman Empire have to fall? They only threw the Christians to the lions..."
"That's the spirit, Danny!"

"How many Rangers are there in this town, seven? Eight, nine, ten?" J.T. gestured, taking in the Literati and Jon collectively, then Zack, Billy and Ethan individually.
"Not quite," Ethan corrected, "There's one more."

J.T. will be matched with Takeru/RedMask (Two guys who do what they do for the one they love.)
Jessica will be paired with Mei/ChangePhoenix, another tomboy.
Amanda - Urara Ozu, MagiBlue (MagiRanger... and Amanda's gonna KILL me...)
(Combining living and being a Ranger)
Daniel - Kenichi Akama, GoggleRed (Goggle Five)
(Reaching for your dreams, no matter how distant they seem)
Yolanda - Haruna Morikawa, Pink Turbo (Turboranger - no relation to the American Power Rangers Turbo/Carranger)
(Being more than you seem)
Zack - Goushi the Knight of the Sharma Tribe, Mammoth Ranger (ZyuRanger)
(Destiny)
Jon - Gai Yuki, Black Condor (Jetman)
(Being able to change your ways)
I'm not sure about Justin anymore, really... but I'm thinking maybe Daigo/LionRanger from DaiRanger, loves living things but occasionally sullen about fighting... and Kujaku serves as an interesting parallel to Avani...

Jon and Gai;
Gai will have a Cajun accent,
"Well, it be simple, really - Mm-hm, I-a dead and you-a dying."
Jon stared for a moment before asking the question that anyone would in his position, "If you're Japanese, why do you have a Cajun accent?"
"Dem translators evil when it come to dubbing. Dat beside de point, though."
---
Amanda and Urara;
"What's with the cape?"

PRL: EscalationA new employee starts work at Highway 2, old problems return to trouble J.T., and it's all-out war in Scenic City as Mars unleashes the Cameolion monster against the Rangers. If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go pass out now...

"We Minbari believe, as do some humans, that souls travel together. Some groups of souls are drawn onto the other in life to relive good relationships from the past, and, if possible, to make right the bad ones." - Ambassador Delenn, 'Babylon 5'
---
He looked around him at faces he knew all well; Agamemmenon, spoilt and proud; Cressida, whose presence brought strife and betrayal; Achilles, fickle yet fierce; Paris, the homewrecker himself; Menaleus, on whose behalf they had came to fight in honor of their alliance; Helen herself; Hector, fierce and honorable whose presence on the opposing side he mourned; wise Nestor, mentor to them all; Cassandra, seer and sister whose warnings went unheeded; Penelope, faithful heart and true wife; and his own, worn of travel and hardship, strengthened by thought of home...
(Cookie if you can figure out who's who.)

Paris is the hard one, actually, since his counterpart's dead - it was actually David. Achilles was Jon, even though Achilles never actually raised arms against the Greeks (the rest he didn't care about, but he couldn't bring himself to fight Patrocles), he did go through period where he refused to fight with them, but in the end he returned to the battlefield to avenge Patrocles' death by killing Hector (and would die by Paris' arrow when returning Hector's body to King Priam).

Another 'pick the finish' since I can't decide... here's the scene;
And your choices are...
A; (Hostility)
"When did you start caring for other people?"
Jon's face suddenly turned dark as he scowled, "Who says I do now?"
or B; (Complimentary)
"You're actually acting like you care about someone other than you, I'm impressed."
"Thanks - it's nice to get compliments from you instead of magick blasts."
"It's nice to have a reason not to shoot you."

Second, since I assume they were friends once before everything went to shit. Also the enemy of my enemy is my friend and all that.

“You think I’M hard to understand, you should try to understand the psychotic dragon-ninja…”
“Psychotic… what?”
“Psychotic. Dragon. Ninja. …Let’s just say that we’re all crazy, but Magnus may very well be insane and leave it at that, okay?”
"I'll never get over the names you give each other," The other student shook his head, "'Psychotic dragon ninja', 'Shuichi', 'Iggy'... 'Chibi'."
"We've already got a 'Justin', Chibi-Justin," Daniel informed him, "He's had the name longer than you by a few months."

Did you ever notice that Tommy and Kim are like something out of Kevin Smith?
(Or; "J.T. channels Brodie and Randall".)
Two jaws dropped as J.T. began picking up steam, pacing back and forth while waving his hands around, "I can't believe this, I really can't! I have an I.Q. of two-oh-five for Kevin Smith's sake, I simply cannot be related to someone so stupidly masochistic that he would rather weep and moan like an impotant jerk over a letter instead of getting his shit together, risking life and limb to go after her and give it his best shot. So what if she was in Florida; that's what Universal Studios is for! You could've proposed when Jaws popped out of the water on the tour or some shit! And you!"
Here the Black Literati whirled on Kimberly, "You're not much better! Everything you've done for the past ten years has been based on what you think he wants! Did you ever think to stop and ask him? No! Why? Because you heard a bunch of size-zero, same I.Q. bints spread a bunch of horror stories about their relationships and instead of sucking it up and fighting for your man with the same determination that you'd once fought for the planet, you chose to cut and run! Jesus, if you had any sense whatsoever, you'd stop trying to bray it up with the rest of the sheep and live your life the way it makes sense to you!
"I'm tired of this whole thing! You're both retarded for each other! Why don't you forget the shit that happened and do what you're supposed to do!"
On the other side of the room, Amanda started clapping.
