And then, suddenly, the HCC29 entries made like a convoy of buses, and <br>all turned up at once.<br> <br>Adrian J McClure replied:<br>>> It was later in the same day that Anal-Retentive Archive Kid had<br>>> gone and picked a fight scene with the Apathy Beast and chased it off<br>>> [_End of Month Reviews_ #98 - Footnote Girl]. After that things had<br>>> gotten a bit hazy, and there had been reports of a duck packing heat...<br>> <br>> Wait, that was actually in continuity? Wasn't expecting that.<br> <br>I confess, the original version of that reference was that it may have <br>been in continuity for the Superhuman World imprint, but whether it was <br>in continuity for the LNH was still undecided. But then I realised: <br>there have been LNH stories that have been explicitly in continuity with <br>the RACCies, even if there haven't been any that are in coninuity with <br>the RACCCafe. So I (metaphorically) threw up my hands and said 'Okay, <br>from the Legion's point of view, the duck with the gun happened...'<br> <br>>> Retcon Lad dragged an orc into the medical bay. He stopped at the<br>>> bed where ARAK was recovering after the battle, pointed at the orc, and<br>>> demanded, "What?"<br>> <br>> ...wait, there are orcs in the Looniverse? Was this ever mentioned<br>> before?<br> <br>Not that I'm aware of. But I assume that there's almost anything in the <br>Looniverse unless someone says otherwise, because, well, the Looniverse is <br>that type of place. And it's more a question of *where* the orcs are: are <br>they living on some lost jungle plateu or in a pocket dimension that's <br>accessed through tunnels so that it looks like they're living underground? <br>Or have they made contact with society and living in their own inner city <br>neighbourhoods? I haven't properly worked out ARAK II's background - all <br>I know is that he's doing a masters at one of the universities in <br>Net.ropolis - but the bit about him having grown up in an orcan society <br>implies that he's a 'country boy' who's come to the city. <br>My concept of human/non-human/superhuman sciety in Net.ropolis is equal <br>parts Grant Morrison comics and Terry Pratchett's Ankh-Morpork.<br> <br>---<br>Saxon Brenton<br>"These 'no-nonsense' solutions of yours just don't hold water in a complex <br>world of jet-powered apes and time-travel." - Superman, JLA Classified #3<br> <br> <BR> <BR><div></div> </div></body>
