Guess who is mighty? And hath finished Silas Escapes?

You are so very clever. You deserve a prize.

A not-so-Poisson snippet: (The Not-Batman project, which is not going anywhere for a while yet, right, Not-Batman?)
( Best read with a mild Boston accent... )

I don't have a final word-count for The First Sequel, yet, since I haven't yet mustered my might to finish typing it. But there will be that eventually. After all, A Charade By Sheridan is going to be adding onto it's wordiness. Go Sherry!

This one will be like so:

*Charade by Sheridan* picks up at the end of *The Carnie's Conspiracy*, when Molly's younger brother is introduced to his magician tutor to start his education as one. Just as he's growing accustomed to frustrating work and being quiet in the big, dusty townhouse, Sheridan finds out the master is being pressured into work against Mr. Poisson--whoever he's pretending to be at the moment. Sheridan knows his master doesn't want to succeed in the sabotage, and so begins a long interchange of pretense. Master Mandrake teaches Sherry how to counter each move he make,s while speaking as if to say the opposite--and Sherry struggles to put it to practice and have his work attributed to Mr. Poisson. Can a boy long out of pick-pocket form sneak such magic and parse out what's under everything his tutor says?

I wondered about Batman's ears being stiff enough to dig into the ground and get him stuck, a few episodes ago.

They're for breaking through glass ceilings before his skull hits them, as proven in episode 13 of Season 2. I don't know why I didn't think of this myself.

PS this entry has half as many tags as it does total words. This is, yes, sad.
