Sorry Guys

So, I bet you're all wondering where I've been. Well, Judy and I have pretty much non-stop been making our new armors. And mine's, finally, done.

We haven't really been doing it together, though. Judy's kinda sequestered herself away in a private workshop and she's been working without breaks as far as I can tell. But whenever I knock she says she's fine, so I guess she's fine. Room's not airtight and it's starting to smell, though. She should probably take a break for a shower or to throw out those old Cup Noodle bowls or something.

You know, this is actually pretty good timing. Quizzer's had his hands full, what with Siluriformes and Nuke and Mechanor and that new girl Foundress (need to get in contact with her, but yellow jackets kind of freak me out.) as well as finals to really have the energy to deal with me. And since the Government finall shut down that Brannigan lab with the demon portal in it before they could remove stuff...I think it's time to go on a five finger discount shopping spree.

And I know for a fact Quizzer was up late last night. Doctor Cataclysm: 1, Quizzer's Twitter: 0

That Bastard!

"Lord" Grim is trying to start his own supervillain group. He's trying to get the rights to P.A.I.N. before we do. That son of a bitch.

He's just doing this because he doesn't like me. I think Red Water might try to eat him some time over the weekend. Good. Hope he succeeds.

Am I writing that because it's going to happen or just to screw with Grim in case he reads this? That's for me to know and him to find out. Bon appetit, Red.

Besides Lord Annoying, things are going pretty well with the creation of P.A.I.N. They're going pretty well in general, actually, despite the fact that Judy's not up yet--and, even then, she's had a few more mumbled words and half-awake moments in the past few days.

Rakshasa sent me a letter of congratulations. Either that means he's already back in the physical world, or his magic lets him screw with me across dimensional barriers.

Oh, and I managed to salvage quite a few pieces of Siluriforme tech. Some of it will prove useful with armor 3.0. Despite what improvements I make, I might just make it look like 2.0. I liked the look, and no one really expects armor that looks exactly like the old stuff to be that much better. That, and I don't want the pictures of me on CapeWiki to be that much more out of date.

One last bit of news--Brannigan's under investigation for having an unregistered demonic portal in their labs. Haha. Suckers.

While I'm Up

Armor--silver base. All of the armor plating is Duranium
Greaves, shoulders, breastplate, helmet-- gold
Mask -- Silver, red lenses
Backpack/jetpack, bracers -- black


On the breastplate is a jagged C I plasma-etched into it. My backpack unit is loaded with gizmos and gadgets. There's other stuff in the armor too.

On another note, some of the projects in Southeast are on fire. I have a bad feeling this is connected to the bombing. And I have an even worse feeling, judging by the way Southeast is burning, of who's responsible for this.

Good News, Bad News, Wierd News

1-- The new power source is awesome. I get to rebuild all my devices and add EVEN MORE weapons. How awesome is that? Even more, more powerful weapons, that is. And what's even better is, unlike a fusion cell, it won't detonate into a tiny supernova if destabilized. Of course, Brannigan's design is somewhat lacking, but with Judy and I working together, I'm confident in my ability to spread at least 90% more carnage than before. Mwahahaha. This is the good news.

2-- The bad news. When we got home from our heist, I found a note on our kitchen table. It's from Death's Head. Yeah, the head of intelligence for Operation Mayhem and big league superhero Knight Watch's arch nemesis. He's invited Judy and I out to dinner. This would be good news, except DH is just as likely to invite us to Op. Mayhem as he is to poison us for interferring in Op. Mayhem's plot to frame me a couple weeks ago. Well, if I don't post late tonight, you'll know why.

3-- And now, the wierd news. Mechanor sent me a cake. It's pretty good. Not too exciting, but pretty good. God, what is with him giving me food? He probably wants a team-up or something. But, why is he giving me food? Who can tell what's going on in that mechanical brain of his?

That's it for now. Except for the realization that Dina Might's family's probably going to be at the wedding. And for those of you who weren't aware, her mother's a frost giant.

I hate Captain Visigoth.

Armor Test

I took the new armor out for a spin today. There was this armored car that had some secret plans that were headed to Brannigan that I wanted to hit. It went pretty well, I was able to basically tear the car in half and steal the plans before Quizzr showed up. I haven't had a chance to look at them, though, since I'm taking Judy out tonight in an attempt to make her feel better. She's been really busy with something over the past few days, and she won't really say what. Oh well, she'll tell me eventually.

Up to Date

I spent a lot of the past couple weeks alternatively with Judy and working on my new armor--which is now done. I'll probably take it out to test sometime this weekend. I'm happy with it--full body armor this time, with much better shock absorbtion and even more gadgets. The only problem is, I used up most of my duranium when making it. Which means I should definitely make a trip down south soon and see if I can scavenge some of the Cataclysm Engine or something.

Judy's doing fine, though I get the feeling she's having some trouble at the Brannigan. She won't tell me what, though, as she's afraid I'd blow up the place if I knew. Which just makes me want to know more, of course. But she can take care of herself.

Apparently, if you haven't heard already, Rake's making his Fourth of July address right here in New Vineyard. Maybe I'll go see it. Or maybe I'll stay in my air-coniditioned room and watch it on tv.

Yeah, that sounds much better. Well, I'm less busy now, so expect more posts in the next week.
