    I agree, nice speech. And loved "China adjacent." One minor thing - he effectively checked if all the rookies were in before giving his speech... except Trailblazer. (Though she did nod after his speech.) Well, to be fair, the only one he actually asked was Hussar; Bramble insisted and Aspirant volunteered that he was in. And Hermit, did it hurt when Slime poked you through the fourth wall like that?

    You forgot to cross out "probably".

    "Hermit steps up to the plate. He's looking a bit tired, to tell the truth, but he still has a game look in his eyes. He hefts the bat, takes a few practice swings, then gets set for the pitch. This pitcher is known for his curve balls, and it looks like that's what's coming Hermit's way, and..." (crack!) "Hermit connects! What a swing! That ball is going, it's going... it's gone! IT'S OUTTA HERE!" In other words, nicely done.

    Now you're just daring me to replace the "t" with another letter earlier in the alphabet, aren't you? Okay, fine, I'll do it. Books.

    You have: "Thanks," Mayo spoke rather than thought it -- And I think that should be Aspirant. I have to say, I'm surprised Valerosa sent Aspirant by himself. I mean, I know he'd be the only one to go into the bar, but I'd expect one of the others to be hanging around nearby (maybe Viewpoint or Pogo keeping watch from a distance, ready if he should signal over the comms?) I figured they'd still be under the "no solo acts" rule. I'd suggest adding a mention, maybe when Eel asks if they're the only ones there, that [other hero] is nearby but not close enough to overhear. Other that those bits, nothing of concern that I saw. But if someone else noticed anything, feel free to chime in.

    There are actually 8 tentacles, one is barely visible going between cushions through the corner of the sectional.

    The Detroit Lions actually won, on a score of 7-6. Which was truly odd, because the other team didn't even show up.

    I'm imagining one of the "faithful" showing up a the gates of heaven. "I've been faithful and trusted in God to keep me safe! How could I die of COVID?" And God's voice booming out, "Hey I had Fauchi warn people to wear masks and social distance. I sent multiple vaccine variants, most of which were available for free. What more did you expect? Three boats and a helicopter?"

    Eel tossing Scruffian down to Trailblazer was tactically very sound, IMO. It kept her from coming back up after him, unless she wanted to lug the unconscious bad guy around (which would probably slow her down) or risk Scruffian getting away (if she left him behind). While I chuckled at Eel's comment, I didn't read that bit as just for humor's sake. As to the latest installment, I liked Clamdigger taking a big of affront at effectively being called a minion. Everybody (even the bad guys) sees themselves as the heroes of their own story, and doesn't like being reminded that they're not a hero in the grand scheme of things. (That's why I'm not fond of villains being depicted as evil just for the sake of being evil. It's too 2-dimensional. A little complexity makes them much better antagonists.)

    The first installment today (the fight with Trailblazer) had some genuine LOL moments for me. I particularly liked "and hit me on the ow!" and "Pinprick is back already?" I really enjoyed that, with the caveat that you don't want to do that too much or it kills the tension you're setting. (Not saying you overdid it, just providing a word of caution.) Nice thug and goon hangout. It wouldn't be Rose's Bar, by any chance, would it? Sorry, I used that hex map so much it's held together with duct tape and Champions players' tears.

    By "weak" I hope you're referring purely to your word count. Better to put out 1000 words of good content as you've done than to produce 2000 words of crap.

    "Could a machine be memorized?" Or did you mean mesmerized? (Did Auto-Incorrect rear its ugly head there?) I'd suggest adding a bit of how the woman hostage was reacting to Scruffian - screaming behind the gag, struggling, looking terrified. Or was she unconscious? If the former, a bit about her reactions would help build the tension. Other than those two minor hiccups, another good installment. I especially loved Trailblazer saving the day while simultaneously screwing up Eel's plan, and am really looking forward to how this plays out.

    I think if Marvel tried to make Flash and Cyborg female, they might have had a problem with lawsuits from DC.

    If you keep it up, we might have to charge you.

    Just did a quick re-read of sections of Part Due. I think I have a good guess who Ophiotaurus might be as well. But I'll hold my tongue and not spoil it. If I'm right, I've got to say kudos to Hermit for laying the groundwork so well. And points to Pinprick for calling it.

    My curiosity is really piqued about what Eel was setting up at Hobby Wood. And I think I need to quickly re-read Part Due to see if I can figure out who Ophiotaurus might be before the big reveal. I was *really* happy to see Mayo return in this latest installment. I always enjoyed his and Caleb's friendship, and know Fish Guy will benefit from Mayo's wisdom. Maybe this time we'll get to see Mayo strut his magic stuff? I like the tongue-in-cheek Star Wars reference (though I had to look it up to truly get the joke). No real suggestions come to mind. Good job.

    I will no doubt be watching bits and pieces of it over the next months. My wife has the absolutely annoying habit of constantly changing the channel, so she watches parts of 3-4 different shows at once, and the Hallmark channel is usually in the mix. What has 15 actors, four settings, two writers, and one plot? 632 Hallmark movies
