Feral


Formerly a villain's designer minion, this compact metahuman leopard-human hybrid is now a spouse, mother, and Field Leader for Wyldfire

I taught myself to read at 4 years of age because I was impatient. I decided the available books were not the story I wanted to read, and wrote a story, at 5.
It was pretty awful.
I mean, I was five, that's not going to be a coherent plot anyhow! But still. It was awful. I was astounded to realize that good stories don't just burst off the page because I apply a crayon. I went back to reading for a while, but sometimes I was looking at what made one book a good read while another was merely a way to pass the time.
Here we are, twoscore and change years later, and I think I am starting to really grasp how a plot is different from a narrative which is not the same thing as a roughly chronological sequence of scenes?
Building worlds certainly makes for a better story!
 
My native language is American English, with several regional contributions as I moved around a lot in my early years. I can communicate tolerably well in a couple of other languages, if the other converser is patient and of good cheer. I'm familiar with several specialized vocabularies in the greater category "Nerd" and I know the responsibility for being understood is mine.
(I also sometimes have trouble understanding spoken words because I'm missing a bit of the hearing register in the middle. Maybe that's why I use the "Maximum Verbosity" setting in written communication! Sorry.)

Society of Cover Identities

by Feral

Thursday, December 10, 2009
 

I am working my way toward a kitchen -- I want to see what I can repurpose for making the Society of Rao cover hold up a little stronger.

(And maybe I will draw Castle out, after all?)

 
After disabling camera, smoke detector, monoxide detector, and room lights: I have used bleach gel to etch the Society of Rao symbol in the kitchen, as if carved with heat vision.

 
Meanwhile, Kilimanjaro is attacking at the lobby.

 
  • AIM set up multiple "emergency 'ejection' tunneling devices", Mole Men style straight from The Tick cartoon

  •  
  • Golden Lotus plans to have Kilimanjaro raise up a magma tube that did not already exist in this area to create a "volcano" and melt this building

  •  
  • we're on LIMESTONE

  •  
  • -- which is why the Metropolis Underground is a thing! --

  •  
  • about half a decade ago, this part of the oldest part of the city of Metropolis abruptly sank in a giant sinkhole

  •  
  • about 20+ years ago, frakkin' Dr. Teleios built a secret lair below Metropolis with a gigantic natural cavern full of an artificial environment

  •  
  • about 8 years ago, a secret government effort built an underground complex a little ways west of here, (headed by now disgraced and arrested General Thunderbolt Ross) to create Project: Quantum Leap


 
We need to halt this fiasco in progress. If we don't, the bedrock will get cracked, and the Lackawanna River will flood the Hollows -- drowning everyone who lives here. And possibly sinking the rest of southern Metropolis in a ground collapse event.

 
I have one can of whipped topping. I'm shaking it as I head toward the lobby fight.

The topping will add a disrupting slickness to what Kilimanjaro does, which might give me a thirty second gap in which to talk sense into the lot of the combatants. They are about to kill themselves, their allies, and all surrounding citizens, which will make them Acquisition Number One for Team Luthor and Teleios both. Maybe don't?
