little miss power,
high in her tower,
dying to flog and to flay.
but along came a spider
who rose up beside her
& convinced miss power to play.

[ In addition to this little snippet of a poem there is an attachment sent out to a select few people, those who have made it under the radar of the illustrious Mr. M. It’s nothing fancy, just a simple image attachment that is given no explanation and expectant of no network reply. Just a little treat, a tasty morsel of things to come. ]

Spiders don't convince people of things. People convince people of things. Blaming it on the spider is just Miss Power's attempt at shifting responsibility over onto something that can't defend itself.

Interesting analysis. I'm inclined to agree.
That spider. So helpless.
Miss Power needs a good flogging herself, don't you agree?

-Anonymous

[secretlabtech]

Helpless unless you're a fly. As for flogging, I'd say some people would argue that it's not much of a punishment.

Disgusting, though, if you ask me.

-DD

[playthings]

Aren't they all, though? :)

Oh, some like a little pain with their pleasure to be sure.
But who are we to judge.

You don't seem so broken up about passing judgement yourself.

I'm not one for credit. Wolf in the fold, not in the news.

Despite your roots, limericks don't suit you.

[Sherlock can read this as the beast rumbling beneath them all again, waiting to burst out onto the streets. And he doesn't like the idea of Irene being an epicenter.]

I'm all about the message, Mr Holmes.
Gotta teach the children.

If they're like any decent modern child, they won't read a word, Professor.

STEP INTO MY OBVIOUS WEB SO THAT YOU MISS THE OTHER WEB, SHERLOCK

I trust they'll at least grasp Heliocentrism.
There's be hope for them yet.

I prefer story teller.
You always did love my stories.

[acclimatized]

You must have me mixed up with someone else.

[playthings]

I never forget a face, Doctor.
Sometimes people forget mine.
Funny how that works.

Intriguing spin on an old classic.

[He has a feeling he knows who this iiiis. Perhaps. There's only so many anonymous individuals in the city, after all.]

[playthings]

I do love these old tales.
Why not give them a little modern fervor?

-M

[ yes well that can all be fixed soon enough. jim keeps tabs on his anonymous fellows, finds many of them are worth lifting the veil a smidgen. try not to disappoint him. ]

It would be a waste not to. Not that most are given to appreciating the nuance either way.

[Can we say Raul got this card? Because he would very much like this card. Otherwise, he'll just reply to the poem.]

An interesting little poem. Made it up yourself, or is there a children's story I'm missing?

[perma encrypted 100%; text]

[playthings]

[ oh you can have as many as you'd like, creed. please keep jim in mind for your next event. ]

Oh, this tale is not for children, I'm afraid.
This rhyme is my own. I think we're both familiar with the heroine.

[Oh, he will. He could use someone like this for the next election. Whenever it might happen. Or even sooner.]

Miss Power. I'm more interested in the way the spider convinced her to play.

[faustianism]

I can't help but wonder, who would you go to to print such a card?

[ perma filtered magic text of evil glory okok ]

[playthings]

Someone fond large tips and a little creativity.
Don't tell me you disapprove.

[faustianism]

Not even the slightest. There's something to be said about the type of person willing to design such a card, and I find myself growing interested by the day.

You know, there might be more then a few people in this city who'd like to ally with a card like that.
