Nace smiled faintly before responding to @Agent Z 's query, "I am a fan of the series, Mr. Monaghan. And I'll hazard a guess that you are as well?" Nace couldn't help but remember that the book was a going away gift his girlfriend, Angela, had given him before he left South Africa for this...- Nace Bilby

Open ACME Retro
The loud flash and cloud of smoke had disrupted Nace's conversation with Sophie, where Lee had thrown himself atop @Ivy before the MON-50 mine had gone off. Quite a feat of heroism that Nace wasn't expecting out of @Lee , frankly. Shortly afterward he overheard Ivy and the flighty Kid...- Nace Bilby

Having observed the students dealing with the MON-50 mine, Nace smiled lightly as he watched Zack (@Agent Z) rapidly come up with a solution, and work with his fellow Junior Detectives to disarm the MON-50.

Q & A What's your inner animal?
As far as animals are concerned I would best identify with a German Shepherd or other large, protective dog. I would even go so far as to identify with the wolves that once roamed Europe. Steadfast loyalty to one's pack is something I see as belonging to a kindred spirit. As I've been taught...- Nace Bilby

Nace headed into his apartment shortly after the mystery parcel from Flagg (@Heather) had arrived. Goliath barked sharply as he arrived. "Will you bloody relax."

Nace, for his part, had been listening to the director and his statement about the stolen Japanese Kokeshi dolls as well as making sure Goliath hadn't wandered too far when he heard @Agent Z shout: Bloody good thinking.

@Kid Kidman had stepped on what was called a pressure release switch. Two thin pieces of metal had been placed under a loose board in the floor near that narrow crack in the wall leading to the stairwell landing. If she moved her foot it would set of the simulated MON-50 mine, a Soviet version...- Nace Bilby

Nace noticed @Sophie as she walked into the room, "Oh I'm terribly sorry about that. I should've reminded you sooner about the trap coming into the schoolhouse." "Now," Nace turned to the students, "This latest trap was designed with the lesson in mind to always be on your guard. Just because...- Nace Bilby

"I'm afraid such implements aren't issued here, Mr. Jordan." Nace replied, calmly before he set off the pressure plate switch. "Honestly, it depends. In the case of the hollow balsa wood rectangles, not very much. A light footstep could've set this off. And actually that's how mines and or...- Nace Bilby

Nace smiled faintly, and said, "That is mostly accurate. Typically this sort of device is used to kill bomb disposal types." Nace pointed to a fuse well of a larger anti-tank mine. "Placing a mercury tilt switch into the fuse well of this mine would booby trap it, forming what is called an...- Nace Bilby

"No, Mr. Jordan, you're not building the trap." Nace began, "I'm building these to test the aptitude of you and your fellow junior detectives in identification and disarming of booby traps."

Jon Eckart:
So... if you were drafting a cast (let's say voice, as if animated, and then, as if live action (preferred)... so do it as "cast/cast") for a potential Carmen movie (big movie... think Fellowship Of The Rings-level big... (assuming someone had a big enough story/script, and could find all the other people)... who would you want? -
Jon Eckart:
((The story I'm thinking of is this: Khisondhanna (adopted) - Google Drive

Jon Eckart:
I'm working on continuing it, but input would be good. Maybe if it could be finished, maybe it could be printed as a book, or maybe sold as a movie (only for a big amount, and the original author get's a big cut)... if anyone, after reading through that folder (it's a live folder, so updates on my end go live when I save. If you have something to add, stash it someplace and let me know... I'll try to work it in as the story stands.))
