Dratted Singaporean beta
Jan. 15th, 2006 08:52 pmHow dare she be asleep/on the other side of the world!!!one!!!1!
Anyway. Samantha went all grammar-nazi and once ki-chan emerges to catch whatever Sammikins might've missed, you will get story.
So some explanation, because Cookie is a h0r and no one but she and the betas knows this verse.
Two of the chars - Leland and Byron have a story of their own which establishes the verse. To those who worship comics/super heroes in general, I apologize profusely. My attempts are butchery. It doesn't really come up in this particularplotless story, but the first one did relate. What you need to know: Super heroes take care of the "big problems" but small things are 'beneath' them. There was one hero, called 'The Minder' (called the Babysitter by "real" super heroes) who dealt with petty thieves and stuff. Byrons' family was also one of super heroes -- except Byron, who is completely normal. What you really need to know is that the organization they're working against, the DeVine Corporation, is a powerful company that is secretly responsible for a lot of the problems super heroes face (again, something that comes up not at all in the new story -__-;;;) - but a good number of the people who run DeVine are super heroes or directly tied to them. So, essentially, a lot of super heroes are also villians. Leland and Byron both have extremely personal grudges against them, and actually met when Byron blackmailed Leland into helping him.
If you want to read the story, you'll have toassault talk to
thecookietheory. I wrote it for SMP and she's asked me not to share it, alas. Beyond that, tell me if you want to know more.
Story up some time tomorrow, possibly later since I know ki-chan is busyslacking writing her paper.

Cut me and I bleed caffeine, sweet. So there's no such thing as too much.
*loves you* Started your fairytale! Though by the time I finish it, you'll probably be better >_> Though, if your eyes are that bad, maybe it's just as well.

Date: 2006-01-16 02:06 am (UTC)“Isaiah Octavius Mortimer Frederick Priscus Albright! Get off that horse right this minute.”
“And they wonder why I hate my name,” Isaiah muttered irritably as he dismounted. More loudly, he said, “I knew I should have left last night.” He let out a long, loud sigh as his father bored down on him tunic and cape and hair being whipped around by the wind.
His father came a halt, gold and jewels and adornments clanking and jangling. “Where exactly do you think you’re going?”
“Ghost slaying,” Isaiah said.
And there went the eyebrow, arching so high Isaiah wondered it didn’t fly right off his head. He bit back a sigh of abject relief as a tall man with wide shoulders and chest walked briskly toward them. Where had he been? He’d promised to distract his father.
“Sire,” the man said. “Is there a problem?”
“Only my son, like always. Beat some sense into him, please, Captain.”
“But he’s only patrolling the western quarter. Didn’t your Majesty say you wanted Prince Ike to get in more soldier work?”
“He just said he was going ghost slaying,” the King argued.
“Prince!” The Captain gave him a stern look. “Do not make such jests.”
“Yes, Jeremiah,” Ike said meekly, proud that he kept from laughing. He managed to remain stoic the whole time Jeremiah led his father away, and even as he mounted his horse and rode out of the courtyard.
But away from the castle, Ike laughed loud and long, delighted to be free of the castle again and off finally to do what he’d been aching to do since a ghost had almost killed.
