[While walking around campus today, you may come across one particularly handsome and well dressed...

...puppet.

It will just be sitting there. Chilling. Should you look away and back, however, it will suddenly be gone... only to be found sitting somewhere else nearby.

There's no one else around, is there?

Those with a quick eye may catch sight of a dark blur as the puppet moves. If you stick around long enough, the owner might even speak with you. Right now he's just testing the waters.]

Thirteen.

...Wow, and you're even faster than the baby bird. What kind of training did you go through?

[knightofmirth.livejournal.com]

Oh, you know.

Bunch of time-manipulatin' related shit. Dyin' a bunch of times. The usual.

I only died once. I guess that's not good enough to give me that kind of speed.

[knightofmirth.livejournal.com]

Shit, no. What kinda cheap bastard are you?

I hear you get lasers out of the eyes if you hit a thousand.

Well some people can't afford more than that you know, whatchu gonna do. I thought it was pretty impressive at the time, but I bow to you master.

[knightofmirth.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah.

So there's some factors involved outside regular motherfuckin' trainin'.

[batmansphoenix.livejournal.com]

...Factors like...?

[knightofmirth.livejournal.com]

Like all the shit I already mentioned, bro.
