2025/01/06

Zo happens to be in the Midwest just hanging out and checking the sites when he sees a news alert at a restaurant that he happens to be dining at. It appears that the U.S. was on high military alert for a few minutes due to a computer glitch. That must've been some glitch. It may also have something to do with a rumor that he's heard about some kid hacking into military computers and messing around. Surely that's not a thing that a person could do, right . . . Right?

Zo finds himself in New York City for the holidays. The crowds of people seem joyful. The air is cool and crisp, and there's a shop nearby proclaiming to have the world's greatest coffee. Also, rather bizarrely, there's a very tall man who seemed to have enough Christmas cheer for the entire city. He seems extraordinarily positive and happy. He's almost literally bouncing between the walls of the skyscrapers and the crowded sidewalks. What's really eye-catching about the fellow, though, is that he's

Zo got a chance to meet his favorite schlock horror movie producer, Harry Zimm, while visiting Las Angeles. At this chance meeting Zo also met an associate of Mr. Zimm who avoided directly giving out his name or any real personal information. Sure the man seemed really charming and friendly, but in an almost intimidating kind of way. The kind of the way that a king cobra might appear to hypnotize you before it strikes. The man also had the kind of demeanor that seemed familiar. He was confident

2024/11/18

Zo got into some slight legal issues when visiting Las Angeles. He figures that he could use a lawyer that knows how to . . . bend the truth. He's heard a rumor of this guy who, apparently, lies all the time (allegedly). The attorney, Fletcher Reede, is said to be very talented, and he works at a very prestigious law firm. As long as the guy isn't overly ethical then Zo feels that he'll win his case. If Fletcher is one of those attorneys that can't help himself but tell the truth then that would be

The nearest person just so happens to be Perseus. From Perseus, Zo learns that there is a clash coming. A mighty clash that Zo is not at all eager to witness. Zo decides that
