which brings me to the unveiling of something we l
ike
to call the blade nation...
we, the members of blade productions, wish it
to be known that the newly formed blade nation wil
l
conquer the earth. world domination is our goal!
well stop at nothing until all of you
silly humans belong to us! we own you!
now go away, before i taunt you a second time!
and now, cappacino would like to break in with a w
ork
of fiction to introduce the power of the blade nati
on.
a brown-skinned man, extremely clean cut, donning
a black cloak
with an under shirt which comes up to cover his neck
, sits at a bar in some
godforsaken place. His head is hooded, and the othe
rs here in the bar
take little notice in his actions, nor do they ackno
wledge his presence.
in front of him, sitting on the bar, is a large book
with a single word
and a few, hard to decipher symbols, written on its
cover. Next to the
large book, sitting directly on the bar is a cup, as
was placed there by
the brown-skinned man only seconds before. The bar
fell almost to silence,
and in the door stepped belial
and edicius. They were d
onned to the like-
ness of the brown-skinned man, and upon entering the
y scanned the inside
of the tavern. edicius noted a man sitting near the
wall opposite their
companion at the bar, eyeing the brown-skinned man a
nd themselves. belial
himself noted a few heavily armed men who posed as o
ff-duty gaurds, though
it was obvious that they were not. b
elial kept his face stern, containing
laughter, as edicius wispered something in his ear.
belial looked up, cau
ght
by something that he said, and noticed the brown-ski
nned man. as belial
and edicius entered the tavern, a few more black-rob
ed figures entered close
after. The feigning gaurds became nervous at this,
flashing to the shady
man across the bar a questioning look, to which he r
eplied with a smooth,
swift, downward gesture of his hand, which seemed to
pacify the gaurds for
the moment. belial, followed by edicius,
grey hawk, g
rymmjack, kiwi, a
nd
ravaged wanderer, made their way th
rough the seady tavern over to the
bar. the brown-skinned man picked up his cup of ste
amy brown liquid and
continued to drink carefully from it as the shady ch
aracter across the
room eyed him intently now he turned and looked at
the man, straight in
the eye, and it seemed, for that short moment, the b
rown-skinned mans eye
sparkled and a wicked grin creased his face.
belial approached the black-robed man at the bar,
putting his hand
on the mans shoulder. the man broke out of a sort o
f trance in which he had
been staring across the room, and he turned on his s
tool to face him. belial
revealed a smile and said, greetings
cappacino, you old dolt. how
are you
man?
cappacino smiled in return, as he turned to the ba
r. As he did so,
he showed belial a seat on the stool next to his and
he wispered something
about him being followed, and that evil things were
afoot. belial took it
in, as did edicius, who until now, belial hadnt kno
wn was listening. The
rest of the companions took seats on both sides of t
he two friends, and they
rested, if only briefly, in the strange comfort of t
he KrimRock Tavern.
the guards, who were kept just barely in sight by
grey hawk, began
to become extremely restless as the companions sat s
omewhat cheerily at the
bar. grey mentioned this to whit
e raven, who had just entered, and he told
him to be ready for anything.
Along with white raven came mass murde
rer, pw,
spear, and the fear-
less leader, mindcrime. On the en
trance of mindcrime, the shady character
across the room became visibly enraged. white raven
and grey hawk mentioned
this to belial, who turned to see the guards standin
g up, brandishing their
weapons. belial was alarmed at this, and he shouted,
ATTACK!
At that moment, in through the front AND back door
s ran the squad:
hard liquor, luke sky
, meltdown, n
atural, exar,
underling, creator
and lucife
then chaos errupted!
The supposed drunks which had taken residence at a
ll the tables in
the barroom had now emerged from drunked slumber, ap
parently ready to fight,
be it with bare hands or with weapons which would ap
parently appear out of
thin air.
And within moments, the entire barroom was consume
d in combat. All
except for the small spot in which cappacino sat, ca
lmly drinking his odd
hot drink.
Then, one of the guards knocked dimes and luthor u
nconsious in two
swift moves, and proceeded to his main goal: the boo
k which cappacino poss-
essed. cappacino, still taking in his drink, seemed
not to notice the rushing
guard as he knocked companion after companion out of
his way.
once cappacino put the drink down, he laid his han
d on the book as
the guard reached for it. cappacino closed his eyes
and wispered under the
sounds of breaking bottles and flying chairs strange
words which he just
barely finished before the guard knocked him off his
stool with the back of
his brawny hand.
while the guard flung capp out of the way,
the book glowed eerily
on the removal of his magical touch. the guard, obvi
ously content with his
recovery of the Tome, reached for it eagerly. the sm
ile that creased his
face turned quickly to shock, however, as his unfami
liar hands wrapped them-
selves around the book, and a magical shock shot thr
ough his body.
the book glowed an evil, dark red, and the golden
B on the cover
was blinding in its light. The sparks and violent fl
ashes of light that had
seemed dark in their intent flew and danced up the g
uards arm and into his
body.
cappacino was on his feet now, his hood once again
covered his face,
a clean smile of satisfaction spanned his face in th
e darkness his hood pro-
vided as the life was shocked out of the guards bod
y to make room for the
magic which now was probably the only thing holding
him upright.
capp felt the eyes of both his companions and thos
e they were fight-
ing on him, as all action in the room had stopped si
nce the light display had
begun. In a swift action, capp grabbed the book from
under the guards hand
and turned to the others in the room, leaving the gu
ards body to fall life-
less to the ground.
he held the book out, gripping it by the sides so
that the front of
the cover was facing all others in the room. The com
panions, as well as every
one else dared not stir, for they feared the same fa
te that befell the guard.
capp closed his eyes once again as he held the magic
al tome all others
watched in unrevealed terror as he recited wispers u
nto the now-quiet barroom
the black tome began to flow again no
w, not the eerie red light as
before. No, this was a bright, almost divine, light
which seemed more of a
shine, and it increased, brighter and brighter. Capp
s companions, his fellow
blade-clan, looked as the light filled the room to s
ee that those they were
fighting were gone the echo of terrified screams fl
oated almost lazily aroun
the room until it died away.
later on that day, after all had rested, mindcrime
and the almighty Q
approached cappacino as he stared into the
sunset, and they asked, what
happened back in the barroom?
capp did not turn, but he did answer, such is tha
t of an inner power
that you nor the entire world knows. we possess it,
and should we use it, the
world would be ours.
mindcrime and Q looked at each other
uneasily.
...such is the power of the blade clan, a power n
ever before seen on
this earth, and, once it is gone, one that
will never be seen again.

and this from diarmuid!
Did you ever wonder?
Did you ever wonder how we got here? Well I did, and
this is my theory.
You see, we are all part of a big experament. Our crea
tors who are some
type of alien created us. Much like we create small
eco-systems but on
much larger scale. The aliens put us here to experamen
t with us, see how
we evolve etc. This is why they come back to visit us
How did I come to this theory? Well, I smoked a bit to
o many scooby snacks
Other theories to come: Why when you eat corn, its sti
ll corn when you
shit it out.
What the old man in the park R
EALLY had in his
pocket. no, it wasnt can
dy like he told
us!
And finally, what that smell
is comming from
Mindcrimes room. This wil
l be a two parter
Diarmuid blades 1st and ONLY PROMOTED KeyGrip!
in actual news this month, virago has lef
t blade due
to a conflict of interest. we wish her well
in her future endeavors.
pennywise has changes his handle
to unique phreak.
queerkilla, a virtual ascii god, has joine
d up with
us to produce his wacky ascii.
exar-kun has been promoted to the position
of ascii
coordinator, after meltdown stepped down
due to a loathing for the ascii art.
okay.. im totally not in the mood to write this!
so its gunna
stop here! my apologies for such a sorry excuse
for an issue of the edge. we promise nex
t month
will be much better.
blade.
gj!

to be known that the newly formed blade nation wil
l
conquer the earth. world domination is our goal!
well stop at nothing until all of you
silly humans belong to us! we own you!
now go away, before i taunt you a second time!
and now, cappacino would like to break in with a w
ork
of fiction to introduce the power of the blade nati
on.
a brown-skinned man, extremely clean cut, donning
a black cloak
with an under shirt which comes up to cover his neck
, sits at a bar in some
godforsaken place. His head is hooded, and the othe
rs here in the bar
take little notice in his actions, nor do they ackno
wledge his presence.
in front of him, sitting on the bar, is a large book
with a single word
and a few, hard to decipher symbols, written on its
cover. Next to the
large book, sitting directly on the bar is a cup, as
was placed there by
the brown-skinned man only seconds before. The bar
fell almost to silence,
and in the door stepped belial
and edicius. They were d
onned to the like-
ness of the brown-skinned man, and upon entering the
y scanned the inside
of the tavern. edicius noted a man sitting near the
wall opposite their
companion at the bar, eyeing the brown-skinned man a
nd themselves. belial
himself noted a few heavily armed men who posed as o
ff-duty gaurds, though
it was obvious that they were not. b
elial kept his face stern, containing
laughter, as edicius wispered something in his ear.
belial looked up, cau
ght
by something that he said, and noticed the brown-ski
nned man. as belial
and edicius entered the tavern, a few more black-rob
ed figures entered close
after. The feigning gaurds became nervous at this,
flashing to the shady
man across the bar a questioning look, to which he r
eplied with a smooth,
swift, downward gesture of his hand, which seemed to
pacify the gaurds for
the moment. belial, followed by edicius,
grey hawk, g
rymmjack, kiwi, a
nd
ravaged wanderer, made their way th
rough the seady tavern over to the
bar. the brown-skinned man picked up his cup of ste
amy brown liquid and
continued to drink carefully from it as the shady ch
aracter across the
room eyed him intently now he turned and looked at
the man, straight in
the eye, and it seemed, for that short moment, the b
rown-skinned mans eye
sparkled and a wicked grin creased his face.
belial approached the black-robed man at the bar,
putting his hand
on the mans shoulder. the man broke out of a sort o
f trance in which he had
been staring across the room, and he turned on his s
tool to face him. belial
revealed a smile and said, greetings
cappacino, you old dolt. how
are you
man?
cappacino smiled in return, as he turned to the ba
r. As he did so,
he showed belial a seat on the stool next to his and
he wispered something
about him being followed, and that evil things were
afoot. belial took it
in, as did edicius, who until now, belial hadnt kno
wn was listening. The
rest of the companions took seats on both sides of t
he two friends, and they
rested, if only briefly, in the strange comfort of t
he KrimRock Tavern.
the guards, who were kept just barely in sight by
grey hawk, began
to become extremely restless as the companions sat s
omewhat cheerily at the
bar. grey mentioned this to whit
e raven, who had just entered, and he told
him to be ready for anything.
Along with white raven came mass murde
rer, pw,
spear, and the fear-
less leader, mindcrime. On the en
trance of mindcrime, the shady character
across the room became visibly enraged. white raven
and grey hawk mentioned
this to belial, who turned to see the guards standin
g up, brandishing their
weapons. belial was alarmed at this, and he shouted,
ATTACK!
At that moment, in through the front AND back door
s ran the squad:
hard liquor, luke sky
, meltdown, n
atural, exar,
underling, creator
and lucife
then chaos errupted!
The supposed drunks which had taken residence at a
ll the tables in
the barroom had now emerged from drunked slumber, ap
parently ready to fight,
be it with bare hands or with weapons which would ap
parently appear out of
thin air.
And within moments, the entire barroom was consume
d in combat. All
except for the small spot in which cappacino sat, ca
lmly drinking his odd
hot drink.
Then, one of the guards knocked dimes and luthor u
nconsious in two
swift moves, and proceeded to his main goal: the boo
k which cappacino poss-
essed. cappacino, still taking in his drink, seemed
not to notice the rushing
guard as he knocked companion after companion out of
his way.
once cappacino put the drink down, he laid his han
d on the book as
the guard reached for it. cappacino closed his eyes
and wispered under the
sounds of breaking bottles and flying chairs strange
words which he just
barely finished before the guard knocked him off his
stool with the back of
his brawny hand.
while the guard flung capp out of the way,
the book glowed eerily
on the removal of his magical touch. the guard, obvi
ously content with his
recovery of the Tome, reached for it eagerly. the sm
ile that creased his
face turned quickly to shock, however, as his unfami
liar hands wrapped them-
selves around the book, and a magical shock shot thr
ough his body.
the book glowed an evil, dark red, and the golden
B on the cover
was blinding in its light. The sparks and violent fl
ashes of light that had
seemed dark in their intent flew and danced up the g
uards arm and into his
body.
cappacino was on his feet now, his hood once again
covered his face,
a clean smile of satisfaction spanned his face in th
e darkness his hood pro-
vided as the life was shocked out of the guards bod
y to make room for the
magic which now was probably the only thing holding
him upright.
capp felt the eyes of both his companions and thos
e they were fight-
ing on him, as all action in the room had stopped si
nce the light display had
begun. In a swift action, capp grabbed the book from
under the guards hand
and turned to the others in the room, leaving the gu
ards body to fall life-
less to the ground.
he held the book out, gripping it by the sides so
that the front of
the cover was facing all others in the room. The com
panions, as well as every
one else dared not stir, for they feared the same fa
te that befell the guard.
capp closed his eyes once again as he held the magic
al tome all others
watched in unrevealed terror as he recited wispers u
nto the now-quiet barroom
the black tome began to flow again no
w, not the eerie red light as
before. No, this was a bright, almost divine, light
which seemed more of a
shine, and it increased, brighter and brighter. Capp
s companions, his fellow
blade-clan, looked as the light filled the room to s
ee that those they were
fighting were gone the echo of terrified screams fl
oated almost lazily aroun
the room until it died away.
later on that day, after all had rested, mindcrime
and the almighty Q
approached cappacino as he stared into the
sunset, and they asked, what
happened back in the barroom?
capp did not turn, but he did answer, such is tha
t of an inner power
that you nor the entire world knows. we possess it,
and should we use it, the
world would be ours.
mindcrime and Q looked at each other
uneasily.
...such is the power of the blade clan, a power n
ever before seen on
this earth, and, once it is gone, one that
will never be seen again.

Did you ever wonder?
Did you ever wonder how we got here? Well I did, and
this is my theory.
You see, we are all part of a big experament. Our crea
tors who are some
type of alien created us. Much like we create small
eco-systems but on
much larger scale. The aliens put us here to experamen
t with us, see how
we evolve etc. This is why they come back to visit us
How did I come to this theory? Well, I smoked a bit to
o many scooby snacks
Other theories to come: Why when you eat corn, its sti
ll corn when you
shit it out.
What the old man in the park R
EALLY had in his
pocket. no, it wasnt can
dy like he told
us!
And finally, what that smell
is comming from
Mindcrimes room. This wil
