        I don’t know if that’d actually be a better pair than AmberxMike (which I’m going on record now as saying will eventually happen in DOA).

        Also, because fan fiction will eventually do it and it’s better we come to terms with it now, WalkyxMike.

          Is there really much in the way of Walkyverse fanfiction? Clearly I am not hanging out in the right places if there is. Also, now I’m sad I didn’t nominate Walkyverse for Yuletide.

          Walky/Mike would actually be seriously entertaining. But I ship horrible, horrible things because I’m an awful person who likes to screw with terrible romcom tropes.

            Oh, and for MikexRoz, are you suggesting there should be a partner swap night in Shortpacked!?

      I’m pretty sure Mike could make a self-obsessed self-hating cheerleader like Billie cry without even being in the same room as her. His powers have always been the least dangerous part of him.

          Do we know yet what his attitude is in this universe…? Good god I hope he’s an asshole (is that odd???) but we do we know this for sure? Willis could be messing with us. Whenever I’ve seen him he looks kind of pissed off… maybe if he talks to Billy, perhaps calls her on some of her shit? Then we might know… Hmmmm, maybe not, he wouldn’t want to do anything helpful… Or would he???

          Considering this storyline is taking place in the current time… with this economy, I’d say she’s at least charging a dime by now. Even your mom has to raise her prices sometime for when Mike sticks his cock in her mouth.

            Of course, this is balanced out by the fact that Mike usually takes a buck from your mom’s wallet on his way out of the apartment. Wouldn’t want her to get too extravagant.

        I’m not sure people tend to grow much after the age of 18. Although that has made me wonder… apart from the change of clothes and different haircuts for Billie etc, is DW doing anything to make DoA people look younger than Joyce&Walky!/Shortpacked! people?

      I can see the headlines now.

      Mike kills Mike for calling short Mike cute. Universe Implodes. Universe is reformed by Mike’s sheer hatred of not existing.

      He doesn’t seem the kind of guy who would really kill someone unless they actually threatened physical harm but couldn’t pull it off. You can’t emotionally damage a corpse.

    I don’t care who Mike ends up with, as long as someone gets hurt in the process. Mike is the best thing for Drama since Shakespeare. He could make Yoko Ono hate John Lenon. The man is a Deity of Spite. And for those of you who don’t know, Spite is the most powerful force in the universe.

      The Billie we’ve been shown so far is self-centred and seems mildly delusional. She’s also known to be a drunk.

      If she even paid attention to whose faaaaaaaaace she was telling to shut at the time, she’s probably forced the whole incident out of her mind. Likely with the help of booze.

The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,
