Regarding Tommy, Kim, and the idea of locking them in a closet;
"Don't you think they'd kill you if you threw them into a closet?"
"I'm hoping they're kill me if I tried to get them out of the closet..." J.T. frowned at his words, "That didn't sound right."
Jessica grinned, "No, it didn't."
Oh, how she loved it when her significant other made an ass out of himself.
(Actually, this was inspired by a DS9 crack-fic where Q shows up and 'fixes' some of the more... uh... 'Grand Stupid Time'-type ideas in the show, including the Kira/Odo/Female Founder triangle by just throwing Kira and Odo in a closet. When Sisko finally tries to get them out, Kira informs him through the closet to "Open that door and die.")
**==
"Tip one; Don't. (Fornicate). Up."
(J.T. recieves a Look from Jessica.)
"What? It's a good tip!"
**==
"Not attracting attention and walking into a crowded dance club in full costume are mutually exclusive ideas."
"What if it's a cosplay fetish dance club?"
"Let's not get complicated here."
**==
"The universe is mocking me," J.T. muttered.
"Let the universe mock you," Jon remarked, "But tell it to leave me out of this."
**==
"This place isn't built over an ancient Indian burial ground, is it?"
"No, the Indian burial ground is next door."
**==
"What do we do?"
"Eh, at times like this, I like to appeal to a higher power."
"You pray?"
"No, I ask myself 'What Would Bugs Bunny Do'?"
Gibb looked at J.T. in annoyance, "Says the guy who keeps a banana peel in his subspace pocket."
"What can I say? I learned it at Acme Loo'."
**==
"The time for reasonable discussion is over. It's time for mindless, reckless action."
"You don't mean..."
"Yes! Release J.T.!"
"Well, here goes my hopes of being Mister Nice Guy 2005..."
**==
"Can't I just kill 'em all?" There was silence for a moment, surprising J.T. who had been expecting an immediate negatory response, "Kella?"
"I'm thinking it over."
**==
"Kinky."
J.T. looked over at her and cocked his head, "Isn't that my line?"

Opening Scene (work in progress) for 'Gone Clerkin'
The day had just started and already Amanda Violette hated it. She decided she might as well start early and get that part over with as soon as her boss had called to have her come in and open the store because the new guy was out sick. That Zachary Taylor had 'convienently' forgotten who else was supposed to be working with the trainee was the second sign that the day was shaping up to be a grade-A suck-hole of a day; especially since he had the best memory of anyone that worked at Highway 2 Media and Games, better than any of his employees, he even liked to joke that he could remember exactly where he was and what he was doing on the twenty-eighth of August back in 1993. He did not just 'convienently' forget things.

The question, though, is - when published - how many people will review and say "Hey, was that when 'Day of the Dumpster' aired".
**==
"You know... you and I are far fonder of this town than we ever let on."
"And ever more fond of our mind-numbingly dull - but still paying, which is enough to keep us there - jobs. Go figure."
"I don't know if I'd call Highway 2 dull..."
"We've worked days where we can't even get shoplifters, J.T. That is dull."
"Yeah, but that's a dull day, not a dull job."
"You know what? Shut up."
**==
That said; the hard part with Gone Clerkin' is actually paring down all the ideas we've come up with over the years to actually make a story out of them and not a bunch of disjointed ramblings (I'm bad enough about those already...)...

J.T. had a horsewhip. It was a long, slender, reed-like thing two feet long with a blue vinyl handle. J.T. had a horsewhip and he loved it. It was a pointer and a swagger cane and a rapier all in one.
(J.T. with his horsewhip swordfights Amanda with a yard-stick or umbrella... or the golf club usually kept in the umbrella stand. His lunch - an Italian sub - is laying on the counter and she snatches it up and begins eating it as they fight)
"I can has cheezeburger?" Amanda remarked, grinning before she took a bite.
"My sandwich! Who do you think you are, The Doctor?"
"If I was," Amanda shot back, "I wouldn't have turned Jack Harkness down, you know that!"
"Yes, I know that, and you should know that despite your impressive knowledge of internet memes, that was not a 'cheezeburger', that was an Italian sub."

Actually, that could stand in for the "hockey on the roof" bit now that I think on it.

Yeah, we could even slip in a couple Princess Bride jokes from the Westley/Inigo swordfight!
Plus, of course, mid-duel, you could be standing on top of a counter, literally step on my head (or shoulders) and land behind me, I could turn and you could defend yourself by tilting a movie standee of some kind in the way of a swing... and someone pick that moment to stick their head in the door...
"Hey, are you open?"

S1E21 "Fire And Ice"
Upon finding the cave wherein is hidden Pelycozord, last of the three Lost Dinozords and the best hope to defeat the Blizzard Force Dinozords...
"There's no guarantee we'll make it out alive, is there? Vicious beasts, fiendish traps, something like that?" J.T. remarked
"Possibly," Ethan admitted, "We were only ever told that the Lost Dinozords existed, not how they were protected."
J.T. and Daniel exchanged a look that caused Amanda to look over at Jessica and sigh, "Why do I just know those two are going to enjoy this?"
"Because yours thinks he's Indiana Jones," Jessica answered, folding her arms across her chest, "And mine wants to be Josh Gates."
"Why do we even put up with them?" Amanda asked.
"Well," Jessica smirked, "I don't know about you, but Johnnie does this thing..."
"Please!" Amanda cut her off sharply, "Don't! Don't go there, don't talk about that, I don't want to think about that, I don't even want to hear about that."
Not knowing of the exchange between his fiancee and J.T.'s girlfriend, Daniel laughed, "And here I was worried that this was going to be hard..."

Inspired by "Dan Vs." episode 'Dan Vs. New Mexico';
Wherein I, the author have no actual clue where this whole spiel came from... and how exactly does a state break somebody's car window, anyway?
"Let's get it on!"
"Actually... let's get lunch first, I'm kinda hungry."
"Live off your body fat for a change, Magnus."
"You know what, I could go for something to eat, too..."
"It's ten o'clock!"
"It's noon somewhere."
"In the middle of the Atlantic!"
"Hey, I'm all for respecting lunch time in Atlantis."

Scenes from "Legacies"
Opening Rooftop Sequence, the first three paragraphs;
J.T. Magnus loved the rooftops of Scenic City. His city. After growing up there and becoming one of its protectors against monsters and villains, he felt he could claim a bit of possessiveness towards it. He loved the fact that he could stand on a rooftop and look out over the city, be a part of it without losing himself in it. It was quiet and peaceful up on the roofs, yet all he ever had to do was power up and step off the edge to be back in the hearts of the city - the express route.
His rooftops were his escape, but his rooftop of choice depended on his mood. For a quick escape, he chose the roof of Highway 2 Media and Games itself, in the shopping district, across the road from the mall. If he needed more distance or simply found himself in the mood for Powersuited Parkour - as he sometimes did when he needed to do something physical to distract his mind - he went downtown. When things really bothered him, that was when he abandoned the rooftops altogether and went up on the mountain, looking out over the city lights at night.
He was downtown now, watching as reconstruction continued on the aquarium after it had been destroyed in battle between the Literati Rangers and the Dark Ranger months ago. In a way, it was a microcosm for each of them; Amanda Violette, Daniel Curtindolph, Justin Gibb, Yolanda Phillips, Jessica Parker and - of course - J.T. himself.
**==
Jon's Schwerpunkt;
On the other side of town, amidst communicators chiming a monster attack alert, J.T. had a sudden sense that he should be proud of someone.
Pushing down that pride until he could figure out what he should be feeling proud for someone having said or done, he turned to the other man on the rooftop, "Tally-ho?"
"No, I..." Jon took a deep breath and let it out slowly, "I'm not ready for this yet... It's one thing to say the words, John, but..."
"I know. I know," J.T. answered, "Come when you're ready."
Unfastening his communicator, J.T. laid it on a nearby air-con unit, then took a step back and crossed his arms.
"Unleash that within... Dragon Spirit!"
(Morphing sequence,
J.T. steps backwards off the roof,
Jon walks forward and picks up the communicator, staring at it as we CUT TO: )
**==
The Abridged Version;
"You were among them!" Zedd shouted, "You were one of the ones who killed my son, for that you will die!"
As the 'Master of All He Surveys' swung his staff, Adam braced himself for the onslaught, red energy shooting towards him. There was an explosion of smoke and sparks and the Black Power Ranger looked up to see his latest successor standing in front of him with one of his Dragon Claws scorched and smoking from the impact of Zedd's attack.
"Hey, Skinless, you didn't really think we'd let you and your Play-doh Rejects run amok in our city, did you? Wow, are you stupid," Here, J.T. turned a look on Jason, "And for thinking we'd step aside, you're not much smarter."
J.T. looked back to Zedd...
"Since you're new here, coming from Angel Grove and all, I'll explain the first thing you need to know about Scenic City; the Pecking Order. There's you... the dirt... the worms inside the dirt... Magnus' stool... these guys," J.T. jerked his thumb at Jason and the other Power Rangers, "Then the Literati. Any questions, Maggots?"
Squat scratched his head, "Uh, yeah, I-"
Three fireballs - launched from J.T., Amanda and Jessica, respectively - slammed into the revived alienizer and caused him to vanish in an explosion of conflicting energies.
"Let's see you get brought back from that one, bitch," J.T. snorted, "Any other questions?"
"Blasting the bad guys when they least expect it, which is alway fun, that aside," Amanda looked at him, "Does this mean you've actually been watching 'Dragonball Z Abridged'?"
"I've joined the Dark Side," J.T. smirked, "They have cookies."
**==
Jon confronts Malleus;
"Really, Malleus... I owe you one..." Jon unlatched his helmet and let it drop to the ground beside him, "If I hadn't met you... I might've become you. I almost did anyway."

Yolanda/Billy At First Sight
Yolanda looked at Zack's friend out of the corner of her eye, "A guy who looks that hot and is also smart can't be single, can he?"
"Uh, he is ten years older than you, remember?"
"So? If he is single, do you think...?"
"Yolanda... do you have a crush?"
The Pink Literati blushed and nodded, "I think I do. Shit."
"Yolanda, you swore. Not well, mind you, but I didn't think you knew how to swear," Amanda remarked, "And what do you mean 'I think I do. Shit' anyway?"
