Typical Cerberus, leaving nasty messes all over for someone else to clean up... wait, no, wrong reference. (GETH TACO) |

Thankfully, the genesplicers were traditionalists. Otherwise, we'd have ended up with a misogynistic aardvark. (In Bizarro World, where Gryphon has somehow developed Space Madness and Incredibly Poor Taste, and Nicholas Cage am Superman.) Ebony the Black Dragon "Life is like an anole. Sometimes it's green. Sometimes it's brown. But it's always a small Caribbean lizard." |

OK, now I wonder how long it is before they do get a gryphon. “They planned their campaigns just as you might make a splendid piece of harness. It looks very well; and answers very well; until it gets broken; and then you are done for. Now I made my campaigns of ropes. If anything went wrong, I tied a knot; and went on.” -- Arthur Wellesley, First Duke of Wellington

So.... When will Laura Kinney show up along with the Black Shuck, and both poochies have a playful throw-down in the middle of the dueling area in the castle, simply so they can snarf up treats afterward? Serge can't be the only duelist mascot that figured out how to pull that off - the new mascot(s?) have a reputation to uphold! |
