Madripoor – people at their most beautiful, humanity at it’s ugliest.
Love & Plunder – Finale
Say what you want about Madripoor, it’s all fair because Madripoor is a horrible place, but what’s also true is that it’s a literal land of opportunity. Anyone from anywhere can come to Madripoor and make it to the top if they’re enough of a soulless monster. And being lucky helps too. Also you have to no get killed. An old man once told me that chasing money to buy your life back is a fool’s errand. He might have…
Love & Plunder – Down Madripoor Way
My time being a bottom-feeder In Miami taught me another lesson about the psyche of the supercriminal. I never understood chronic backstabbing disorder before but that’s because I was never at the bottom of the totem pole before. I have a better handle on it now better now. When you’re skilled and talented and smart, or think you are, it galls you to be doing scutwork for someone else. “I should be in charge of this crew” you think to…
Love & Plunder – 16
I tried to look at my situation with a positive light. I had no resources other than the clothes on my back and my extensive training, everything else had been stripped from me. I wanted a challenge didn’t I? Well this is about as challenging as life gets. What greater triumph could there be than clawing my way back from the absolute bottom? Note to self, register domain name absolute bottom. On the other hand though there’s looking at things…
Love & Plunder
Here’s the thing, Santo Marco is a tiny country. And I mean tiny. It’s the size of French Guiana or Suriname. There are almost 500 cities in the world that are more populace than the entire county of Santo Marco. There shouldn’t be that many mutants there. Statistically there shouldn’t be any. It’s a million to one and they don’t even have a million people there. They must have a lot of heavy metals in their water supply that are…
Love & Plunder – 14
I’m not one to brag, but I learned most of the lessons the Red Room had to teach me well. Very well. The lessons I wanted to learn anyway, infiltration, evasion, assassination, strategic planning, being a pretty good bowler, things of this nature. I say most because it turns out that I’m not so great at destabilizing a country and bringing about a regime change, which was covered. Then again maybe going 0-1 isn’t a big enough sample size to…
Love & Plunder – 13
After I sold my helicarrier for a rock bottom price there wasn’t much reason to hang around in Madripoor for much longer. There’s only so much beach lounging a woman can do before it’s time to move on to the next caper. The first idea I was kicking around was to steal the Identity Disc like Vulture tried to do back in the day when he blackmailed together a real life Suicide Squad (sadly no one died). But since I…
