Fire Salamander
Every night I see it in my
dreams: a great flaming
lizard-like thing, black as
soot, drenched in
rainwater. It tells me
that everything is one,
that fire and water are
the same.
Frankly, I dont
understand a word of it.
When I finally wake up
screaming, Im lucky if I
didnt burn down the
bed. But Ive got a job to
get to and I have a city
full of people in need and
full of people who want to
take advantage of that. I
just cant let that
happen. So I put all that
subconscious junk aside,
grab a coffee, and hit the
streets.

Excalibur
If you want to do good in the
world, the first thing you
need to worry about is power.
That's right. If you think life
is about hearts and puppies
or spreading good energies
with your crystal-swinging
neo-pagan friends, I've got
news for you. Life is hard,
people are cruel and selfish,
and what little good is left in
them takes a lot of time and
effort to bring out. So, if you
care about this City, if you
want to be able to change
things for the better, you
need to be able to exert some
influence on those who want
to maintain the status-quo.

When youre in the ring, if
youre good, you know
that the real deal is not to
get hit. One hit - thats all
it takes. One good hit and
youre out.
Now look at me. Theres
no boxer in the world that
could mangle me up the
same way that stuff in the
yellow barrels did. There
isnt a word for what Ive
become.
Sometimes
I
think theres a whole
jungle up my ass. Its
disgusting.
So mark my words, its
not so complicated - one
good hit, and youre out.
Look at me, now: one
good hit is all it took.

Post-Mortem
I had a life. Not sure if was
one worth living, but I had it.
And at some point some
arrogant, ignorant, smug son
of a bitch like you decided to
take it and make me into this
experiment.
I dont have a life now. You
know what that means?
That Im not going to rest,
Im not going to stop, Im
not going to think twice or
hesitate when you offer me
money or surrender when
you threaten my children.
Im not going to hold back,
flinch, or get distracted.

Declan L'Estrange
TAG: ___________________
I know that somewhere out
there, theres an answer, a key,
that could shed a light on all
our questions. It could explain
why we are all asleep, why we
are all blind to the truth that
everything around us is
nothing but a dream. Perhaps
its a dusty manuscript, or a
sealed urn, or a broken sword.
But its out there, I know it.
I know, because I already
found it. I found it -- and then I
lost
it.
But
something
remained,
some
sort
of
guidance that appears in the
most unexpected moments
and when it does, it changes
everything. If you saw the
things I've seen, you wouldn't
care about money, fame, or
family. You'd be focused on one
thing and one thing only
finding the truth.

What would you do if one day you're, like, walking down this
really cool neighborhood, that used to be kinda rough, but now
it's being renovated and all the indie bands are moving there,
and there's lots of gigs and really cool people hanging out in the
coffee-shops, and a lot of
organic co-ops and microbreweries...
Anyway, what would you
do, if you were walking
there and all of a sudden
you'd see the place in a
total state of destruction,
like
burning,
with
buildings
ruined
and
alarms going off... and the
next moment you're back
in
this
really
cool
neighborhood, all shocked
and, you know, PTSD. Oh,
and you also get superspeed and space-bending
powers. What would you
do?

Kitsune
TAG: ___________________
Hi, I'm _______, Kit's best friend. I'm writing for Kit because Kit
hardly ever speaks or writes. Kit mostly doodles in class. In case
you haven't figured it out, Kit's not really a boy or a girl. Kit says
Kit's a fox, but I don't think Kit's the kind of fox you would
normally think of.
Besides being really funny, Kit's got
some cool tricks up Kit's sleeve. Kit
can parkour like no-one I've ever
seen, just bouncing off the walls.
Sometimes I worry about Kit
because you don't see Kit for days.
Kits gets into all kinds of trouble
looking for the place Kit came from
and trying to figure out what Kit
should do.
The only thing that keeps Kit coming
back to school is Kaito, a student in
our class. When Kaito is around, Kit
becomes very quiet and intense but
I'm quite happy about it because if it
weren't for Kaito, I don't know what
would become of Kit
