Date: Sun, 6 Oct 1996 07:33:14 -0400 From: ILCzJules1@aol.com To all, Hello and welcome. I feel an explanation is necessary for my Ep. Slants. You must initially understand that I am a Cousin. Who is, first and foremost, of the Unnamed Faction. And that these were written and posted for the entertainment of the UF Loop. What I do is take a scene or scenes from an episode and, as I re-tell the selected story bits, I interject my own brand of facetiously humorous, sarcastic and/or sometimes serious - remarks, comments and observations. All with an Unnamed Cousinly point of view. Agree or disagree, it's all meant to be taken as 'tongue in thong'...oops, I mean 'tongue in cheek', the *other* set cheeks ;-[)! Be aware -- These are PG13, at times. And some are much better than others, since they span a period of months and I got more adept as I went along (I hope .). Also, they are listed in alphabetical order, not chronologically to my posting. So, enjoy...or not. Either way these Ep. Slants are mine, Illinois Jules (aka Julie Swendsen). I will never own the rights to any of the FK characters or their lines, and they are only being borrowed for the nonprofit enjoyment of myself and my Unnamed friends. If I ever finish bending these to my needs, I *will* return them, only slightly spindled and barely mutilated. Illinois Jules Input gleefully accepted. __________________________________________________________ Ep. Slant: Undue Process -- Flash back time again, boys and girls! Nick has taken out his revenge on a second man responsible for his hanging. He's at the Inn, having just dispensed with the gent. Wiping his mouth, Nicholas slowly looks up and proceeds to step cautiously over the slain form on the floor. To confront: (Our Favorite, Voyeuristic, Walking Orgasm) LaCroix...standing, smirking, near the entrance way. N: [annoyed] "What are you doing here?" (What? Caught with, fangs, in the proverbial 'cookie jar'?) LC: "You know that I'm never very far away from you." [grin] (But why, Uncle?) Shot of the dead man. LC: "Tsk--Vengeance...[Nick looks away, ashamed] Are you satisfied?" [moving forward] N: "I did what I had to do." LC: "Oh, of course, hmmn. An eye for an eye, and all that." (With dripping sarcasm.) [still moving forward] N: "Yes." [terse, serious] LC: (Taunting the lad.) "WelI I can't say that I don't approve." [smiling again] (I like how LaCroix looks around here, as if he's just pondering aloud on this next remark.) "But tell me Nicholas. Why do you think they accused...[now staring at his son] you, of killing the woman?" N: "It was all hearsay." [fidgeting, looking away] LC: "Indeed. Started by whom...I wonder?" (It takes Brickster a moment to pick up on this inference. He then shoots a glare at LaCroix. A wide grin is spread across the elder's face, accompanied by a delightful eyebrow arch of NK realizes he, once again, has been tricked into performing for his master's amusement.) Nick turns away. LC: "Oh, come come. [stepping closer, to stop directly behind his child] You wouldn't want them to know who *really* did it, would you?" (A slight laugh escapes him, so thoroughly is he enjoying this toying with Nikkie.) "Well, look at you now, you're guilty of the same crime that they are." (Yes Nick, revenge from hearsay. Remember?) "You do entertain me Nicholas, betraying your own high minded ideals." (Read ) "I knew you had it in you. Well done!" He then turns and walks off, chuckling at the obvious distress he's put his child in. (LaCroix is so wonderfully filled with his own giddy satisfaction.) ____________________________________________________ OF,V,WO *loves* watching his Nicholas 'twist in the wind'. Oh yeah, just like every father and mentor I know, right! ;-[) Gleefully to herself: "So much time, sooo many episodes." As ever, Illinois Jules As the pocket watch in Father's Day is inscribed: FOREVER
