i'm glad i met so many of you in this one, and that most of you survived the Rapture, and hope for nothing but awesomesauce for all of you for the next!! <3
Charley (affectionately): “See, there you go being Can the Considerate.”
Candy: “Hey, I love seeing you and Dane together, so I’m not about to do anything to jeopardize your relationship. Besides, like you said, Dane’s private, so obviously you’re not going to go around blabbing about his business. That’s not your way.”
Charley: “Nah, it’s not that. Dane told me I could tell whomever I wanted because, and I quote, ‘I’m tired of people thinking I’m a decent enough bloke, when I’m the stuff shite wipes off the bottom of its shoe. I utterly and completely failed the one person who ever gave a damn about me.’”
Candy: *winces* “Wow, that is some seriously harsh self-flagellation there.”
Charley: *pushes up her glasses* “You have no idea. Do you remember Wren talking about Dane’s Alice? She didn’t really give us many details—most likely because she didn’t have any—but she did say that Alice was really important to him?”
Candy: *drawls slowly* “Yeeees.”
Charley: “Well, she’s dead, and Dane holds himself responsible.”
Candy: “Holy crap! Why?”
Charley: *sighs, as she visually steels herself to relay the tale* “Backstory time. Get comfy. Alice was the daughter of their housekeeper. She was almost exactly the same age as Dane, so they grew up together. Dane loved her enormously. He was kind of an awkward kid without a lot of friends, and his family wasn’t particularly affectionate, so Alice was his whole world—friend, family, and confidant.”
Candy (hesitantly): “Was that all? I mean as they got older were they, um…romantic?”
Charley: *shakes head* “No, Dane said the best way he could describe his feelings were that of a brother—a very protective brother. Alice was apparently…different.”
Candy: “How so?”
Charley: “Well, it’s hard for me to speculate because Dane didn’t describe it too clearly. It sounds like she didn’t always engage with the world like you’d expect. She was wickedly smart and funny, but there were times when she couldn’t cope with basic stuff. She’d become overwhelmed and completely withdraw, sometimes for days.”
Candy: “Mild autism, maybe?”
Charley: “That’s what I thought, too, but when I mentioned it to Dane, he got really agitated. Said he didn’t understand why we have to label everything and everyone. Alice was just Alice.”
Candy (unsurprised): “Yeah, Dane doesn’t have much patience for labeling. Says it closes minds off because once you label someone as this or that, that’s all you’ll see in them. So, what happened to Alice?”

Went on a little mini mixer today with some other local photogs... I like to call FRIENDS! Had a blast ladies! (oh and about the awesomesauce... yeah sorry, you just had to be there)
Charley: *withering look* “How very Princess Diaries of you. Is that really where you hoped this conversation was going?”
Candy (grudgingly): “Dunno. Maybe.”
Charley: “Well, sorry to disappoint, but Dane’s not a prince. About twenty people have to die before he’d inherit the throne. Also, I wouldn’t exactly call the U.K. a ‘tiny principality.’”
Candy: *mouth drops open and emits a strangled sound*
Charley: “Yeah…I know exactly what you mean.”
Candy: *gurgles a little bit*
Charley: “You’re preachin’ to the choir, sister.”
Candy: *holds up a finger, asking for a moment to compose herself*
Charley: “You know, for someone who already suspected he might be of noble birth, you’re not taking this very well. Do I need to get you a paper bag to huff?”
Candy: *wheezes* “I was just kidding! Good grief! Why…why are you taking this so calmly?”
Charley: “I’m not. This is me freaking out, honest.”
Candy: “You’re joking.”
Charley: “No…though I don’t blame you for mixing up my joking face and freaking-out face. I’ve been told they look identical.”
Candy: “You’re dating a guy who’s in line to inherit the frickin’ throne of England.”
Charley: “Whoa there, drama queen. He’s way down on the list. Geez, many more statements like that and you’re gonna make my freaking-out face swing to my OMG-OMG face.”
Candy: “And that would look like what, exactly?”
Charley: *stares at Candy, blinking once*
Candy: “Was that it?”
Charley: “Yeah, I’m sorry if I shocked you with my uncharacteristic dynamism.”
Candy: *sits back in her chair, laughs* “Most of the time, I can’t tell if you’re yanking my chain, or if you’re serious.”
Charley: “Usually a bit of both.”

The brief sun flames the ice, on pond and ditches,
In windless cold that is the heart's heat,
Reflecting in a watery mirror
A glare that is blindness in the early afternoon.

There are a lot of things wrong compositionally with this photo, but I love it anyway.
So nyah. :P
Candy (shakily): “I…I don’t see why Dane thinks he’s responsible for this tragedy. He didn’t push her off that cliff. He didn’t drown her.”
Charley (matter-of-factly): “He was late to their meeting. If he hadn’t have been, he could’ve stopped it from happening. Protected Alice.”
Candy (outraged): “That still doesn’t mean any of it is his fault! That’s illogical!”
Charley: “Yeah, right, because love, betrayal, and death really bring out the rational in a person. Dane’s got a white knight complex and a deep-seated need to protect what’s his. Alice was his. She died, ergo, his fault.”
Candy: *rubs her face hard* “Did he try to press charges against his brother? Have him investigated?”
Charley: “He tried, but it didn’t do much good. No one believed him, not even his own parents. They said his accusations were a product of his grief, and he needed to shut up before he brought even more scandal down on the family. They blocked everything Dane tried to do in pursuit of the truth, even lying to the authorities to discredit him when necessary. It was their word against his. He lost.”
Candy: *features twist in revulsion* “Wow, that’s a whole new level of messed up. I cannot believe people like that share my air. It makes me want to throw up!”
Charley: “Hamish is supposed to inherit his family’s title, so I gather that means he’s reputation was to be defended at all costs. Dane was raised believing he was only there to be the spare, nothing more, so I guess it’s no surprise he didn’t get any support from his parents whatsoever.”
Candy: “So, he left.”
Charley: *nods* “Yeah. He said he couldn’t stay there anymore. He couldn’t look at his parents, at Hamish, without going senseless with rage. He was afraid that he’d kill one of them. Was afraid he wanted to kill one of them. So, he left.”
Candy: “How long ago did this all happen? How long as Alice been…gone.”
Charley: “A little over two years. Dane did everything he could to disappear, so he couldn’t be found by anyone from his old life. He’d wandered aimlessly for nearly a year and a half when he stumbled into the London pub where Danny and Caid were drinking. He overheard them say that the band was short a drummer, so he offered to sit in with them. Dane’s always been musically gifted, so he took loads of lessons growing up—drums, piano, guitar, trumpet—and the rest is history.”
Candy: “It’s all so mind-bogglingly gruesome, like something out of an Agatha Christie novel, except if Dane’s right, Alice didn’t get justice. That little baby didn’t get justice. It’s not right. *slaps her palm on the table, tearfully* It’s not right!”
Charley: *reaches across the table, pats Candy’s hand* “I know. I know it’s not, Can.”
Danny: *walks up behind Candy, placing a hand on her shoulder* “What’s not right? Hey, Sprout, you okay?”

LOVE this
Happy Easter Weekend Everyone
Be Safe
Im sorry but there is just WAY to damn many contributions here to credit everyone! However, I remember a few: Worlock for various things, Fudge for his handguard, front ironsight and carrying handle, Duke for his box mag, HStrange for the receiver area (was VERY hard filling that space with custom!).
Izhmash worked together with Banana Man Industrials to make a bullpup Avtomat Kalashnikova. This is the result.
Mom's Kenner was waiting for her when we arrived home after the meet today.
Not only did we have a great time but came home to a new, lovely lady. She was restored by Austin and yen came our way. She is so sweet! Thank you so much, Austin!
Here it is, a suggestion from Awesomesauce I believe. I plan to sell these in pairs, for maximum duel wielding action! LOL
The VH-1000 is a common cargo transportation vehicle
in almost every corner of the galaxy.
It is able of lifting loads up to 5000 kg
as long as they're no more than 4 studs wide.
I blame my love for rapid fire weaponry on this one. This goes in my ever-expanding "Weird Civil War" theme. C&C is welcome
Candy: “So, that’s his big secret, then? He’s all blue blooded?”
Charley “Um, I don’t know about it being a ‘big secret.’ It’s just one of the things he doesn’t care to discuss. Dane doesn’t like talking about himself. At first, I thought it made him uncomfortable, but it’s actually ‘cuz he thinks it’s boring and would rather talk about other stuff. *shrugs* He’s just really private.”
Candy: “I noticed.”
Charley: “It’s one of the things I like most about him, actually. He respects other people’s privacy, and he expects the same courtesy in return…*thoughtfully* You know, you’re like that too, Can. You usually let a person tell you things in their own time, which is doubly amazing considering your curious nature. And you’re not overly judgmental.”
Candy: *shrugs* “I know what it’s like to have people scrutinizing, judging, and prying into every aspect of your life, just so they can make up the most despicable gossip possible. I was the daughter of the town’s loudest, brashest party girl, remember? I was labeled trash before I was old enough to spell it.”
Charley: “But you know you’re not, right?”
Candy (lightly): “Most days. Secret or not, I do think Dane was actively hiding his lineage from you specifically. Danny already knew…probably Caid, too.”
Charley (unperturbedly): “Hum. Well, they have known him longer than I have, so it stands to reason that I was the last one to get the rundown.”
Candy: “I don’t really think that had anything to do with it. He was probably afraid you’d be upset and dump him.”
Charley: *brow furrows, perplexed* “Why?”
Candy (tactfully): “Well…you don’t really seem like the type to be overly thrilled about the, um, disparities in your upbringings.”
Charley: *raises an eyebrow* “Just because he had money and privilege, you assume his upbringing was better than mine?”
Candy: “Uh, Charley, from what I know of your upbringing almost anyone’s would have been better than yours. Even mine.”
Charley: *nods* “Got me there.”
Candy: “So, you really don’t care?”
Charley: *short laugh* “Oh, I care. I care a lot…*thumps her chest* It’s like Care Bears gone wild up in here. But what am I gonna do? Punish Dane for his childhood? The one thing I hate having done to me above all else? No way. *face softens* He’s the kindest, gentlest guy, and I don’t mean gentle like he’s a pussy. I mean the kind of gentle that takes real strength. Makes him more of a man. Get me?”
Candy: *studies the change in Charley’s face, lips curling into an indulgent smile* “Yeah, I get you. You’re in love with him.”
Charley: *face snaps back into her usual passive mask, shrugs* “So what if I am? Besides, Dane’s got his own pile of crap to dig through. Like I said, he and I are both screwed up in our own way. I think that makes us a little more understanding about what the other’s feeling.”
Candy “What do you mean ‘his own pile of crap’? I thought the only thing he was hiding was his upper crustiness.”
Charley: *silently spins her mug around on the table, face growing even more serious than usual*
Candy: *holds her hands up, quickly* “Oh, I get it. You can’t talk about it. That’s okay.”

If I had a zillion bucks, I'd totally figure out who I needed to buy the Stardust name from and launch the best retro vintage awesomesauce googie space age casino on the strip.
It's probably not a good use of my money, even if I had a zillion bucks.
Ha! Printing on these look great! I did them all w/ metallic ink rain. Edition of 120. Glow in the dark edition of 30. There is an AP set of 20 printed w/out the rain, but who'd want that? Also, a black and white line-art edition of 40.
