I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Krav studio

This reminded me that I'm re-reading the Skulduggery Pleasant books, and the character names, though sometimes corny, tend to amuse the hell out of me.

Bad guy names: Gruesome Krav, Murder Rose, Billy-Ray Sanguine, Mevolent (no last name, that's how bad he his), Nefarian Serpine.

Good guy names: Ghastly Bespoke (he's a tailor [get it?] with scars all over his face), Mr. Bliss, Skulduggery Pleasant.

Not-sure-who's-side-she's-on name: China Sorrows.

Every time I read "Gruesome Krav," it made me giggle.

Ghastly Bespoke (he's a tailor [get it?]

No. Oh, is it because of this? Whatever it is?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

When DH worked for the venture capital firm that got him a bespoke suit. A little much for crawling on the ground hooking up wires, but he also did tech analysis for co's they were acquiring and needed to have the investment banker look.

Art Crawl!!!

Teppy - those names remind me of Speed Racer names! (And are therefore, totally excellent.)

Now tagless for your comfort.

My DH wants a bespoke suit badly. But he NEVER wears one so we can't justify the expense.
