Right. There was some big hoopla going on in the rest of town, and Dr. Girlfriend had been a supervillain long enough that she knew something about hoopla: to stay the fuck away from it. Someone else was making a play, and the town residents were fighting back. Not her fight. She had stayed cooped up in the hotel for the past several days, hoping ( Read more... )

Sheila wasn't especially observant or anything -- hell, she'd helped Monarch decorate his Christmas tree -- but she did have a menorah in the window. It made her feel like she wasn't such a bad nonobservant Jew ( Read more... )

Sheila really needed to get some kind of a set schedule; otherwise, she dragged her feet so much about coming in here to do retail that days just flew by before she even set foot in the shop.

The first was because he was actually stuck in a debate with himself about either going out onto the street and offering roles to NPC passers by like candy, or changing the production to something that didn't have such an... ambitious number of people in the cast ( Read more... )

Okay, she'd had a weekend to get the jetlag out of her system, and she'd taken last night off so she could watch the Going Rogue finale, but there were no more excuses: Dr. Girlfriend had to go check out her new store today ( Read more... )

After the dates, Bruce noticed that Doom and... the other Doom made their way out through the back door. Strange, but not suspicious enough to require a second look at this point ( Read more... )

Nikolai was pretty sure today was going to be another one of those, 'not going to ask' days. He decided that pretty much the moment he made his way down to the lobby to find the computer browser open to a page about aphrodisiac foods.
