The past few days have been spent in this nearby town where The Tip Top Three were the most popular superheroes. They're not as big as The Fantastic Fantasy (with his six types of action figures, breakfast cereal, energy drink and fat burners) but they're getting there. Next week, they'll launch the first Tip Top c5noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905975.post-1057770401258451002003-07-09T10:06:00.000-07:002003-07-17T05:41:16.140-07:00Phase Two of the investigation done.
I went to The Funny Farm today to check if what He-Borg said about Sue Mo being confined there was true. Today's disguise is one of my best ones. I put on a heavier body suit so I looked like a mini Sumo wrestler, painted my skin really pale, put on a salt and pepper wig and wore prosthetics to make my eye look really small. I looked like Mun Ching, the womanc5noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905975.post-1057680905021057512003-07-08T09:15:00.000-07:002003-07-08T09:15:05.030-07:00The investigation is well underway.
Yesterday, I went over to the Daily Globe to talk to He-Borg Crux in full disguise: brunette wig, horse-y false teeth, fake eyebrows and inner body suit to add a few "pounds". Scheduling an appointment with the mysterious He-Borg Crux was quite a challenge. First, they told me that he didn't do face-to-face interviews, so I asked if I could just call him/her/c5noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905975.post-1057500773291783782003-07-06T07:12:00.000-07:002003-07-06T07:12:53.266-07:00The Fantastic Fantasy is pissed off and the whole town knows about it.
He was on tv today, cursing. I swear, if he had clenched his massive jaw a little more, his teeth would have cracked. (And where will the town be without The Fantastic Fantasy's fantastic smile? What a git.)
According to him and the news reports, he was planning a major rescue operation in the mountains (that's why he asked c5noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905975.post-1057337983059717432003-07-04T09:59:00.000-07:002003-07-06T06:14:27.186-07:00I met my neighbours today.
I was installing the outdoor security system for the townhouse this morning and the man next door stepped out to get the mail. He introduced himself: Mark. He offered to help and when I told him I got everything under control, he stayed to chat. He said he was a businessman and that his work requires a lot of travelling. I told him I was an aspiring writer.

I've finally managed to:
1. Find a new base of operations
2. Get all my stuff from my old warehouse
3. Transfer all my money to a new anonymous bank account
4. Cover my tracks
All done secretly and as quietly as possible. Which was fairly easy, given that no one knew me.

The message in the bottle I left adrift in the sea for Sue Shi fell into the wrong hands. Two weeks ago,I received a message with coordinates on where to meet up with Sue Shi. The message said that she had heard of my work and that she would be honoured to have her costume made by the same person responsible for the costumes ofc5noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905975.post-958202952003-06-19T00:40:00.000-07:002003-06-19T00:42:01.000-07:00Sue Mo's launch was a success. But not for her.
Everything was ready for her big rescue op. I had her costume delivered to her a week ago, and she liked it. Even the Super Hero Agency approved. They had the media all primed to cover her big launch. All they needed was the rescue mission, and the Super Hero Agency was monitoring the news for any criminal activities worthy of Sue Mo's launch.

I've known him since his early days as a super-hero (Super Powers: flight, super strength, speed, ultra-healing abilities, shiny blond hair and a killer grin. Vital Stats: 168cm, 42-32-40) and I accidentally met him. At that time, I was working for Holly's Halloween Costumes as lead designer. One night, a group of really violent criminals went to the shop c5noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905975.post-953979832003-06-06T21:59:00.000-07:002003-06-22T09:11:53.000-07:00She decided on Sue-Mo.
I was hoping for Giantess, but she said it was too obvious and she wanted to have a tongue-in-cheek name. Giantess seemed too serious for her, and she wanted to let her sense of humour "shine through the seriousness of heroic deed" (her exact words).
I suspect the Super Hero Agency found a way to contact her before or during her hike and convinced her to take Sue-Mo c5noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905975.post-951916662003-06-02T07:17:00.000-07:002005-08-01T14:58:16.393-07:00Got a new client today.
