Things aren't always as they seem.
We know this.
The eyes can convince the mind many things.
The mind can convince the eyes anything.
Here's where we stand over at Los Sauces:
Franklin has destroyed the central air.
The temperature hasn't been below 80 for weeks.
I cannot begin to describe the smell.
LOS SAUCES: CLOSED FOR "AROMATIC" REASONS
I can hear the keys.
I can hear the proton packs charging.
I am Jack's-former-military indoctrination.
The things that stand between us now, is who's crazy enough to take it to the next level.
Become the next level.
MLOL
I remember saying I was the next step in human evolution.
I sound like I'm being vain.
Perhaps I should not follow the Gentleman's Guide to Villainy, When Dealing With Other Villains; Paragraph 3, Resolution of Grievances:
Name the place and we duel.
Yes, Steam Punk is ridiculous. I won't mind giant mechanoid suits of armor, though.
Should be easy.
Now follow along to the rhythm in this line: villains do these things for notoriety, the attention time.
The technology is easy, you see, A to B; a flip of the switch, Back From The Future it will be.
Nope.
Can't beatnik it up.
22 hates hippies.
Any kind of hippies.
22.
She tempers me.
If that makes any sense. Probably why things are where they are now.
She keeps me under control and in control.
The most important part of the tribe.
Her recovery is tantamount to my existence.
My fetter.
Crap. I can't keep slipping up like this.
Typing something I'm sure is too much information, not editing it out of the post; not caring.
Make it so.
CHAOS!
I return to the shadows from whence I came.
I see my family.
They bid me take my place among them.
boo.
Agent Wraith,
ReplyDeleteFree Association? One isn't sure what you're driving at here (again, it might be a limited frame of reference on Ones own part). Are there grievances with Villainy, or a Villain in particular? While at present One may not look like a particularly skilled negotiator, if One may be of assistance, you have only to ask. Catch me in Facebook by chat, and One will help you as One can.
There are no enemies in Villainy. There are disagreements sometimes, and that is all. If you feel an anger towards something, take some time off, and you will return with a fresh perspective.
In One's eyes, Villains do not harm others, incite harm to others, support or condone harm to others, or operate in ways to bring harm to others. If you feel yourself having trouble with this understanding, you have only to think on maintaining the value of One's favor, and you will find comfort in a clear path.

ReplyDeleteThat is all.

What's really strange about this whole craze for steampunk is that you are still very much in the age of steam power, since that is the mechanism by which you all convert fossil fuels to mechanical energy. Coal power plants, nuclear power plants, geothermal power plants-- they still use steam as the mechanism to spin those turbines.
ReplyDeleteSteam isn't a power source unto itself, but many scientifically stunted fiction-writers treat it like it is.
I have to say, though, "steampunk" is far more catchy a phrase than "neo-Victorian".
Free Association Monday:
ReplyDeleteOne was thinking about the cumbersome burden of shoelaces, and how after millennium, a better solution has not been found. People can shoot cameras in little robots around inside you, but shoelaces remain omnipresent in modern times.
