"He was half-lizard, and he was blue!" "Well I'd be sad and mopey too if I were half-lizard and people were being insensitive jerks! You should be ashamed of yourself!" In my comics Ripley has a lisp (The reason he doesn't have one in my pastas is because I hadn't decided to have that character trait). I've thought about having a scene in my comics in which he's at a dinner/meeting and some jerk starts making fun of his lisp, asking, "Hey, where do the Giantsss and 49ersss play?" One of the tricks up Ripley's sleeve is a teleportation stone, so while the jerk is enjoying his mean-spirited joke Ripley teleports behind him, grabs him, and teleports him to a high structure or bridge in the City by the Bay. He holds the jerk up at arm's length, and while the drunk is quivering in fear Ripley replies, "Sssan Francisssco." He then teleports them back and drops him in a heap on the floor, leaving him very unsettled.

That would be something, wouldn't it? They could have some interesting conversations! That's all right. Maybe I can add a section in the next part making it clear that that's what she was saying. It has to be organic, though, because just having her say, "Hey, you're not going to be a poopy-head and betray us, are you?" seems a little abrupt. ;-) Daniel's going to mess up at times, but he'll pull himself together, deal with the aftermath, vow to do better, and press on. The quote from the movie was, "This serum, distilled from dragon's blood, my own blood, the organs of different reptiles, and mixed with the magic brew of the sacred seven herbs, will temporarily change you into the living instrument of my will. You will do as I command!" (It also has tarantula extracts and python bite-tainted blood. If you're not afraid of reptiles and spiders, this site describes the whole scene)  Since the serum was described as having dragon's blood and the user's blood I thought, "Well, he's sort of a dragon, so he can just use his own blood and call it good!"  Between the germs, the shock & fear, and the alcohol he consumed before he was confronted by Basilisk, can you imagine how sick Max felt whenever he woke up?
