He weathered a firestorm of agony and did not break.
And while Yori raged against his unbending
courage, we took Kyuden Hiruma back.
His loss is great, but so is the gift his suffering brought.
-Yakamo’s Funeral
AND OH YEAH, THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR CODES. I HAVE RECEIVED ALL OF THEM AND HAVE REMOVED MY LEFT EAR, FOUR OF THE TOES ON MY LEFT FOOT, MY KNEECAPS, APPENDIX AND TONSILS.
The second-floor office of the five-sided building resounded to the frenzied tak-tak-tak of an obsessed man’s fingers on a worn keyboard. Bathed in the eerie glow of a cheap monitor (all the decent PCs being on the CIA station currently orbiting Mars), The Finder homes in on his hapless prey.
“And so, FormerAgent, the end is near,” he hisses through clenched teeth, “Once, long ago, you may have eluded me through your cunning use of ‘former’, but now I am wise to your ways. No longer can you mock me through your use of aliases beginning with ‘MW’; no more long nights will I spend trying to work out how you plug your encrypted laptop in to the cigarette lighter of a 1983 Volvo 340.”
And then, suddenly, the door swings open. Who could this man be, silhouetted against the failing flourescent lights? A rugged exterior, eyes haunted with experiences no man may reveal (and live to tell the tale), a left hand wizened and gnarled through months of holding down the [SHIFT] key.
“HAH! YOU GAVE YOURSELF AWAY WITH THAT ‘THIRD FLOOR’ JIBE, FINDER! ONCE YOU ARE OUT OF MY WAY, no-one, SORRY, NO-ONE CAN STOP ME! MY TOTAL-SWEEPING-GOVERNMENT-REFORMS WILL CRUSH ALL IN MY PATH! MWAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!”
And then, slowly, the twisted grin crept across the ex-Ranger’s battle-scarred features, as he brought the Choco Krispies Magic Spy Killer Ring to bear on the hunter-turned-prey.
“Do you expect me to talk?”
“No, Mister Finder, I expect you…to die!”
(Alright, I’m bored of this now. Someone else finish it while I send off my Bad Creative Writing Award application).
You just know this former agent is probably more of a Woody Allen than a James Bond.
I’m sure he’s a disgruntled postal worker, subscribes to Guns and Ammo, and shoves a butt plug up his ass every night while he puts on his Patton outfit and masturbates in front of the mirror…
FORMER AGENT report for duty - on your knees, boy.
Hey, I think that this should go back to 'PSIMS. This is too fun and creative to stay in the Pit.
This is bugging me: What’s that from? Star Trek?
Let’s see- His name is “Finder”, his snowbunny prefers Grape Flavor. He must be using a Macintosh.
Never have I been so ashamed!

If I were beaned with a fastball, fling my limp, lifeless body to first, cause, dammit, I earned it!
30 points to jjtm! That was in an episode of Star Trek: the Next Generation. Apparently, an entire race of people communicated solely through the use of, stories, I guess. They referred to the story name, and BOOM that was communication (a pretty stupid way to communicate, I would think, after all, how do you teach them the stories?). Anyway, yes, it was Star Trek. One of the many bits of useless trivia I have absorbed.
Yay, 30 points- now are these like Whose Line Is It Anyway? points, or are they redeemable in “Favorite Poster” threads?
Notes to Finder:
I was driving down the freeway in the fast lane with a rabid wolverine in my underwear when suddenly the guy behind me in the backseat cups his hands around eyes.
They sucked out my internal organs and they took some Polaroids and said I was a darn good sport.
(name that tune!)
