It's a short one, but it sets the stage for something that'll happen in Book II.
Book I will end with Chapter 9, which is finished, but I will not be posting until September.

*Loud, startled laughter!*
Seriously, that was my reaction to Kevin's... answer. (And if that doesn't intrigue people into reading it, nothing will!) Oh, this is going to be fun! And methinks Mama Talon is about to discover that being a cartoon character is no defense against cartoon tactics - Kevin strikes me as the type to favor humiliating attacks to damaging.
On a somewhat more somber note, the subject of this chapter coincides disturbingly with a book I'm now reading: Son of a Grifter, by Kent Walker (with Mark Schone). For those who've never heard of it, it's the story of Sante Kimes and her son Kenny - Kent Walker is Kenny's older half-brother and Sante's son. If you're remotely curious, here's a rediculous number of references, courtesy of Google. A seriously macarbe and Lovecraftian mother-and-son team, and not something I'm enjoying reading - but it's like a car wreck; I can't stop looking only partway through. And it sounds like Mama Talon is cut from the same cloth as Sante, and is trying to mold Irwin into another Kenny. Fortunately, with Kevin as a possible contact and grounding point, this Irwin may be able to switch from Kenny to Kent... or so I would hope.
Eesh. Such a ramble this is turning into, yesnomaybe? I guess that's an indication of how strongly you've touched on matters I hold to be of great importance. Never fear for this matter, Kinsfire: you've got me well and truly captivated by this tale. *Cough* As well as Serina. *Cough-cough* And everything else you've posted.
Thank havens for a reading speed comparable to download times - I'd never have time to do anything else, otherwise. *Grin* You ain't the only one with Enhanced Page Interface, Kinsfire! |

I can just see it,
"Mom, I do not want to be a super villian any more. "
"And why is that Dear."
"The pay off is not Worth it"
"What! Go to your room this instant and take your body gaurds with you. Who put this silly idea in your head?"
"Kevin"
"Well, we will just see about that."
just a picture.

Well, there's the fun aspect of Kevin not being able to do to her what he might to another opponent...remember, she's the mother of a person he's hoping to be friends with...which puts him at a severe disadvantage.
Humiliation, well, that might be a possibility, but he's got to be careful - "that's MY Mom you're picking on!" can be a very bad thing for him to hear - remember, Irwin plays with genetics. Can you see Kevin waking up as a tentacled pseudopoidal thingy?
(Hmm, an idea arises...no, bad Kinsfire! Might interfere with other storyline, and it's too late to change that one...yeesh! Talk about screwing with a character's life - just wait until you read Chapter 9!)
