No Jada.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Angela Basset does not get enough respect, let alone work. If I'd never seen her in anything but Strange Days, I'd still worship her - Mace RULED.
I have to admit, the happy ending violated everything the movie was leading to, but I didn't care, because Mace got what she wanted.
The fact that she was too damn good for Lenny is a whole other thing, but I also liked the happy ending because Mace ending up dead would have pissed me off no matter how "right" it might have been for the story. In some cases, character love blows narrative logic out of the frelling water.
Edited because I know the difference between to and too.

Art Crawl!!!
ita - -is it that high collared coat I've seen in pictures? Kind of tight to the waist and then full-skirted or coat-tailed?
Because . . . nice.
And Bwah! on the wooden acting.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
What you mean the priest's cassock? Yes, that was all I could think of as I watched the Matrix. Father Keanu.
Alas that there was no accompanying little funny 4-corner hat.

ita, before you marry that coat, I'd like to have a fling with it.

It was a bit windy in my town yesterday.

moonlit, I hope there weren't too many casulties (my browser's playing up and I can't get the links to load), and that things get back to normal as quickly as possible. And that you're okay-- it must be scary to have that sort of thing happen.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The press reports I saw said that - remarkably - there weren't any injuries. Is that correct, moonlit?

"When the world's run by fools it's the duty of intelligence to disobey." Martin Firrell
No-one was seriously injured, just lots of property damage - houses, cars, trees - quite a few elderly, public housing residents were pretty shaken up and scared. It was really LOUD, wind, rain, hail, roof tiles and timbers, flash flooding all over the city, power out for ages etc. I must admit that I've never experienced such a ferocious storm before.
