    Summary

    “So you want me to marry Cooper Howard?”

    He shakes his head, laughing under his breath. “Marry? No, no, lets play that by ear,” he assures you. “What we want — need — you two to do is make it look like you’ve been having an affair.” You must look like you’ve seen a ghost. This is insane. “Explains his divorce, gets people talking about you two as a pair, gets eyes on this movie you’re filming together — now, don’t go outright saying it, of course. We just wanna’ make people read between the lines, get them curious enough to get them into the theater to see the chemistry on the screen...”

    ---

    When Cooper Howard finds himself scandalised by not just divorce, but allegations of anti-American sentiment, it falls to the studio system to try and squeeze what they can from him before he finds himself blacklisted. Fortunately, the only thing the press loves more than exposing a commie is a celebrity scandal -- and the studio has just the woman in mind to play the role of the other woman. Being seen with Cooper Howard while filming your breakthrough movie to get people talking? Easy. Doing the right thing when your career and dreams are on the line? ...Jury's out on that one, champ.

    Summary

    The others call her Cicero’s keeper, in tones hushed and vaguely mocking, as though to keep a thing is to lessen it. They do not understand, though they see the Night Mother now, and feel reverence for their Dark Lady once more. They do not understand, not as Cicero does.

    Summary

    “Mr Montgomery...” you try again, taking a brave step forwards into the room, only to freeze in your tracks when a guttural growl travels through the darkness and cuts straight into your chest like the roll of approaching thunder.

    “The Hell're you doin' in here, lady?”

    Isn't that the million-dollar question.

    Summary

    They were right. Here you are, lost, alone, and bleeding out. It was a nice run, you guess. Your life didn’t bother to flash before your eyes, since there wasn’t much that happened anyway. Even though you’ve already succumbed to breathing your last breath here in the Wild Area, this Charizard seems to think otherwise. Are you hallucinating? There’s a strange man with purple hair here, too.
