In a office very similar to the one Arnie occupies in a place between here & there, sits The Poster that is AJA. Flying in through the open door is Maurice, the winged cabbage of legend. In his mouth are a small pieces of paper. He flies over to AJA's desk & mumbles something.

"What?" The cosmical being said.

Maurice mumbles something throught the paper again, AJA can't understand him.

"Let me take those from you." AJA says as he takes the pieces of paper out of Maurice's mouth.

"Thank you, Andy." The winged Cabbage said.

"What did I tell you?"

"Don't wear white after Labor Day?"

"Well, yes that. But, I said when ever I'm wearing my toga I am to be refered to as AJA!"

"Sorry. AJA, I have the replies to your resent narrative strand that you put out there."

"Excellent!"

"Your fellow Poster that Be that goes by the letters of AIH thinks that Arnie should go with the spice rubbed chicken."

"Slightly random reply. But it shows he at least looked at the strand, if not read it."

Maurice goes on to the next reply. "The one known by double H's thinks that Arnie should get thicker wallpaper."

"Why?"

"I don't know. The Poster that Be known as the Manga Shoggoth can see the character known as Ebony coming to into Arnie's Office to lodge a complaint."

"Why?"

"He & two other Posters that Be, The Hatman & Anime Jason, feel that the end of your last narrative strand was cheating."

"oh. Any other comments?"

"Yes. One: The Poster that be as known as Visionary doesn't not think Arnie will be itemizing those cases on his taxes."

"Of course not, there is some shady dealings dealing with in them. I guess that's what Arnie gets for dealing with a Super Villian."

"Yes, sir. But, what do you think about the comments that Arnie cheated in that last narrative strand."

"He didn't cheat. I brought him to the logical conclusion & wrapped up the lose ends."

"But, you never said what the end result for those cases were!"

"I know. I left it vague in case the Posters that Be behind the Characters want to do a tie-in. It sounds like the Manga Shoggoth wants to do one. I'd be glad to read it, his last venture into the world of Arnie excellent."

"Yes, sir."

"I don't see why people are saying I cheated. I've used the same ending basicly for all of my big epic's. In 'Bang, Bang! Your Dead!' I showed up & tied up the loose ends. In 'Hang Him & Let's Get High!' I, along with The Hall Moniter, showed up & tied up loose ends. I don't see how this is any different."

"Well, sir. B,B!YD! and HH&LGH! were all period genre pieces either early 20th century Film Noir or the mid 19th century Old West. They were not from the current era, so people didn't mind you coming in to reset everything to return your characters to their proper place & time. With this, it was the current era & it could be seen as cheating. Of course an all powerful cosmical being is going to have the answers, your the writer."

"So?"

"Some of the fun is seeing how the Detective solves the case. You took that away from them."

"I see your point."

"Plus, your appearances in the narrative strands maybe a little dangerous."

"Why?"

"As the Poster that be AG said..."

"Uh, I think you pronouce both of the letters & they are both lower case."

"Sorry. The Poster that Be ag said that one of the plots of the Master Villian The Hooded Hood was to find the Posters that Be, over throw them & conquer the Parodyverse."

"I doubt that will happen."

"Why?"

"I doubt The Hooded Hood knows Arnie even exists."

"Doesn't The Hooded Hood know all?"

"If he did, wouldn't he have conquered the Parodyverse by now?"

"True. But, maybe he's waiting for the right moment. Maybe your playing into his plans? He is a master planner."

"True."

"But, I can't help it that I have a doorway into that dimension in my office."

"Sure, you could. Just don't write about it."

"But, it'll still exsist. When I created The City in the Parodyverse. Somehow the placement of Arnie's office matched up with the placement of where I write these narratives' which created a doorway between dimensions. To prevent the doorway from exsisting I'd have to destroy The City."

Maurice hmmmed to himself as he thought it over.

"Do all Posters that Be have doorways?" Maurice asked.

"I'm not sure. If they do, they don't use they all that much."

"Well, most of them have been here longer you & maybe you should follow their example."

"But, what if Arnie needs me?"

"Then write in some help, you don't have to show up to help. You control the very nature of his narrative, it's your to mold & make it the way you see fit."

"yeah. But, I like showing up in the narrative. It's makes mine different."

"True. But, you may need to find a different gimmick."

"I guess so."
