NNPack Summary
Our Own Worst Enemy (1/1)
Saturday October 9th - Pre-Dawn
The N&Ners who attacked the Cousins and were subsequently arrested are still
waiting in jail several hours after the Cousins were released. They've been
unable to reach anyone at the Theatre and Soul believes that no Toronto area
lawyer will help them because she's never paid the legal bills from previous
wars. Soul's regret and guilt reminds Michelle of Nick and she suggests having
him help. Soul refuses because she can't encourage Nick to use vampirism. Soul
suddenly remembers her past as the Lonely Hearts faction leader. She calls Nat,
who goes looking for Vachon to help them. Nat's a little nervous because she
doesn't want to run into Screed. Nat meets Vachon and they drive to the jail.
She waits in the car while Vachon uses his whammying abilities to free the
N&Ners. Knightrose is concerned about the paperwork, but Soul says not to worry
because the cops only have their war names, as does the company who's rental bus
is now impounded. Vachon leads them to Nat, and wanders across the road in the
direction of the Church. Nat tells the N&Ners that she has the clothes they
lent her in her trunk. She drives them back to the Theatre.

Ah, well--better late than never.
WAR: Die-Hards: Summary for October 2nd
1)
Title: Chanda's House
Author: Chanda Keith
Time: just after midnight as October 1st becomes October 2nd
Pursued by far too many characters from her other fandoms, all of
whom want revenge for the stories she has written about them,
Chanda decides to escape to Toronto and take refuge with the Die-
Hards. She takes with her all 600 of her bears, and her three
cats, Nicky, Janette, and Pinky. With those packed in her van,
there is very little room left for her own things. She hopes,
while in Toronto, to get together with other Ravenettes for some
sort of memorial in honour of Susan Garrett.
2)
Title: Felicitous Greetings
Author: Greer Watson
Time: October 2nd, late afternoon
Having been persuaded that joining the Die-Hards is only subtly
different from being unaffiliated, Greer goes to visit the
faction's financial advisor, Feliks Twist.
3)
Title: Pepperoni pizza to go
Author: Greer Watson
Time: October 2nd, evening (after "Felicitous Greetings" and the
Knighties' "When Pizzas Attack!")
Greer is checking on the Die-Hards' HQ when the Knighties' over-
spiced pizzas arrive. Since she doesn't like pizza, she directs
the delivery man to take them to the local women's shelter. She
then goes home, where she reads a series of e-mails that have been
sent by Don Fasig. He tells her that War is on, and that he is on
the way from Florida.
4)
Title: Sizzling Slices
Author: Greer Watson
Time: October 2nd, evening (after "Pepperoni pizza to go")
Chanda arrives in Toronto. About to order herself some take-out,
she is interrupted by the arrival of Annabel Harte, a counsellor
from the women's shelter at Don Mills and Leslie. She is furious
about the horrible pizza donated to the shelter, and assumes that
Chanda is the one responsible. When it is finally sorted out and
both learn that it was the Knighties who originally ordered the
pizza, Chanda gives Annabel the address of the loft.

WAR: Die-Hards: Summary for October 3rd
1)
Title: Sockless Sunday
Author: Greer Watson
Time: October 3rd, all day
Greer has her usual leisurely Sunday. Since she goes barefoot
round the house, or in sandals or (barefoot) in gardening boots,
she has no idea that her socks have all vanished. When she gets a
call from Don to say that he's finally managed to get a flight, she
calls Die-Hard HQ, where she talks to Chanda. Chanda has assumed
that her own missing socks had been taken by one of her cats.
However, when Greer offers to lend her some, and then finds her
sock drawer empty, they realize that it must be some sort of
attack.
2)
Title: Flying to Trinidad?
Author: Don Fasig
Time: October 3rd, late night
Through an airline mix-up, Don has disembarked in Trinidad without
his luggage. His new flight to Toronto is finally called; but he
has only the clothes he's wearing.

Having finally made it to Toronto, Don wakes up Monday morning to
discover that his few clothes have all gone missing, except for the
sweats he wore to bed.
2)
Title: Bootless Monday
Author: Greer Watson
Time: October 4th, some time in the middle of the day
Since Greer lives in Toronto, she commutes to Die-Hard HQ daily.
On arrival, she learns that Don has lost more than just socks, and
the airline still has not found his missing luggage. The three
faction members discuss the situation, concluding only that
Chanda's bears are probably safe from depredation, since they are
noncombatants.
3)
Title: Blue Monday
Author: Greer Watson
Time: October 4th (after "Bootless Monday")
After Chanda and Greer leave to shop, Don spends time on the
computer, searching for information on similar episodes of
disappearing clothes.
4)
Title: Socks and Locks (1/2)
Author: Greer Watson
Time: October 4th (after "Bootless Monday")
Chanda and Greer go shopping, first to replace missing socks, and
then round toy shops so Chanda can look for more bears. Greer--who
lives with her elderly mother--then has to go home. Chanda returns
to Die-Hard HQ, where Don tells her that he has learned that Nick
Knight has also lost his socks.

Time: October 6th, early morning (after the events of the
Knighties' "Rene's Bakery")

Author: Greer Watson

Makes me a bit sorry time has been too tight to consider
participating. The Vampbear might have had some fun. Then again,
after his time in that Salvation Army lost teddy bear drop box in War 11...

Sounds almost like my _Vanderbears_ (to a small degree) and moreso my
_Donovan B. Bear_ (a Boyd's bear who goes to renfaire with me dressed
in highly-detailed Elizabethan garb). I joke that Donovan has more
clothes than I do, but most of _his_ outfits are garb...
