Jax to the rescue again!

I feel really bad for him, actually, because he's been nothing but nice to Scott, even at serious risk to himself... but bad things are almost certainly going to happen to him, since Scott resents him dating Jennifer so much. Being a Nice Guy[TM] can be a pretty thankless job, I guess.

WV: sores - Hey, no fair, that's an actual word! How am I supposed to have any fun with that? Well, maybe it only looks like the English word "sores", and it's really Latin - sure, that'll do. Related to soror, meaning "sister", it's the genus name for a variety of parthenogenetic lizard found on certain Mediterranean islands.

Uh-oh. At least he brought a weapon, but he doesn't have any salt or other magical protection (don't ask me "why salt?"--it's always salt, for some reason).

Also, ditto what misslynx said. Maybe Peter can save him, though.

Basher: She used to be one of Santa's reindeer. The steaks are good, but boy will we miss her.

Please, Jax is protected by his shield of rightousness. It's like a shield of faith, but more secular and non-denominational, because Jax is totally cool with other people's religions. And yeah, Jax continues to be an awesome guy.

I think the knife from the kitchen was to draw blood rather than a weapon. I agree, Scott is totally unprepared for this. (Should have asked Jax, he still has his notes from when he infiltrated that cult.)

Retostin = A protein, only recently discovered. Its purpose is to regulate and channel testosteron. This makes the man, not more manly in the traditional sense, but more mature, noble, and interesting. Keep an eye out - you can always notice someone with adequate amounts of retostin.

Jax, of course, has a very considerable blood concentration of retostin. What a guy.

misslynx -
Yeah, that Jax. What a guy.

Something bad happen to him?

Hmmmm...

Um the Muse -
That's true, salt is the go-to mystical weapon. As well as being a seasoning.

Maybe all supernatural beasties are actually giant slugs.

:( Poor Basher.

Wait, the evil side of me just surfaced. (Dark Darren.)

What's salt good for?

On Basher! On Dasher! On Donner! On Blizten!

Yes, that was bad.

Rubberduck -
To quote the lady in FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF:

"He's a righteous dooood."

Right you are about the knife.

I have to get those notes from Jax for a future story...

What a guy.
