Finishing Touches

Finishing Touches is the sixty-eighth installment of Roentgen's Legion of Lawndale Heroes series. It was initially titled 8:8 (Chapter 8, Part 8), and was given a title for the first time when coding of the older postings of LLH on the PPMB was corrected. It is the last LLH story to be retroactively titled.

The Legion ends their enforced vacation and reunites.

Trivia

 * This story takes place over more than one month, perhaps three.
 * It is revealed that Bai Zheng was born on or around April 5, 993 CE.
 * Upchuck's first solo flight is in a Diamond Eclipse.
 * Sandi Griffin passes Sergeant Nemec's retest, joining (at the time) Jane, Daria and Upchuck as having completed their GEDs and being allowed to set their own study schedules.
 * Quinn Morgendorffer and Stacy Rowe become very close to passing, but do not pass. Tiffany Blum-Deckler, according to Kyle Armalin, is "crawling out of the hole".
 * Legion Tower opens. Quinn (perhaps fittingly) flips the switch that turns the lights on the finished product.
 * Jane Lane's term as Legion Leader nears its closing. Daria states that "it's almost been a year" since they gained their powers.
 * It is later revealed in LLH 12:1 ("The Wild and The Young") that Quinn snuck off with a chapter of the National Legion to visit post-Katrina New Orleans.

Dramatis Personae
