>>>>>[ Well, Mark, you made my day. The picture of Zombie claiming he
is sane is one of the funniest things I have thought of in the past
month.
I cannot decide if time is passing by too quickly or not quick enough.
I wish I was back home. As usual, that isn't really here or there
though. I will state the obvious though: I would appreciate it,
though, if you DO NOT get into a fight in front of Nikki.
Doomsday and I have met Nightmare once. I am trying pretty hard to
keep your brother from finding out about Rachel. His finding out would
only speed up my death sentence and make it all the more painful. We
kept it mostly social, although we did talk about the surprising
interest that LSS has shown in the two of us. As per FireWraith's
request, we did not mention she was in town.
But I am digressing. Your question is one that I have been pondering
for a while. I was tempted to talk about it with Nightmare, but
something held me back. Since FireWraith and Doomsday are now on
Doomsday's little shopping trip to replace his lost antique weapon
collection, I figure I have a little time to tell you about what we
discovered.
Doomsday thought it was very odd that Shadowfox was avoiding him. We
finally figured out where Shadowfox was holed up and came up with a
little plan to get the whole team inside to snoop around. Doomsday
played the annoyed troll. Deuce played an invader of the home turf.
FireWraith played the scout for them.
Here's the short of how it went:
Doomsday invited himself in. Security was upset about his being there,
saying things like "You'll disrupt Shadowfox's plans if he sees you
now." Right when Doomsday was running out of things to say and
security was going to kick him out, Deuce made his presence known.
Several smoke grenades later, security never knew what hit them.
Doomsday said it was like fighting children. Between the two of them,
they injured twelve and killed two. Considering it was a seriously
bone-laced troll and a physical adept, I suppose I should be glad it
was only two.
I used the fight to smuggle myself in. I dropped the light security
that the leader had for himself and then dropped him with magick.
FireWraith had already informed me that it was some punk playing at
being Shadowfox. So I played being Nightmare.
I had Doomsday carry the punk up to the top of a church steeple. I
blindfolded the punk and then hung him up with synth-hemp rope.
Doomsday went back into the stairwell to make sure we weren't
disturbed. The punk thought I was in the mood to deal. I quickly
cleared up his misunderstanding of the situation. I have to say, the
scream made the whole operation worth the effort.
Since the punk wasn't aware of the limitations of magick, I had a field
day with him. We left an anonymous call about some "Shred-head"
threatening to jump off the steeple and left the area before the police
arrived.
According to the punk, someone was after Shadowfox. The punk was hired
through several middle-men to play Shadowfox getting revenge on his
attackers. He then was supposed to act like kitsune and keep up the
masquerade. The act would continue with missions occasionally coming
through the middle-men. From what I could gleam, there were no further
instructions supplied to the punk.
I've been playing what I know in my head over and over again. I have
almost convinced myself that it was Shadowfox who set up the punk, but
I'm not convinced. Time is against our side though, and I decided to
continue our trip to cooler climates.
Soon I suspect, I will be out of convenient ability to contact you. I
not sure which I look forward to more: Seeing Rachel and Nikki again,
or seeing my copy of the bible again. In more ways than one, Rachel
has my love, my spirit, and my life all in her little hands.
Ah, if only I wasn't such a damned individual! Sigh. It does remind
me of something that I should mention to you: With Shadowfox MIA
again, you are the only person that Lynch can reasonably go to in order
to find out what is going on with me. If I was a betting man, I would
have wagered that he would have heard about LSS's attempt to arrest me.
Then again, he is probably pretty busy as usual, and I'm not all that
significant in the scheme of things. If he does contact you, fill him
in as best you can without causing undo trouble for yourself. He is
honourable, although I'm not sure what he would do if given a shot at
putting War away for good.
Be safe and well. ]<<<<<
