Ver 07

So you expect this story to end? No, no, not yet. For you see, we have just received the draft notebook for Ver, and yes, how much it has diverged from the original sketch from the very start.

Oh, and concerning the switch from Multiply to Blogger? It is about ensuring the existence of mttspiii in Blogger. Since Multiply mttspiii is stable, like Wordpress mttspiii and especially Livejournal mttspiii, the focus to Blogger is expected.

So where were we? Ah, yes. The unnamed person which we will call Stick. Or rather, The Stick. He is a man of at most dual dimensions, but is mostly a stick, only thinner. As is said before, he has a circular two-dimensional head, two-dimensional hands, and two-dimensional feet. Because of this physical transformation, he cannot be seen at certain angles (The common Heudringottingenberger-und-Hzyepterzchwagenoftereichite has binocular vision, which means The Stick's two-dimensional head can be seen from almost any angle.) This means he can slip through virtually anything and is hard to see, even harder to hit, which are very useful skills. Of course, the downside is that he can't eat normal food (Fortunately for him, quantum biophysics tell us that he would be more or less a universe in himself, so due to the conversation of mass-energy, he will neither lose nor gain considerable amounts of energy, and thus mass. Technically, any energy can sustain him and his quirky universe in our own universe, but I hate dabbling about theoretical physics.) He can't work properly either because his colleagues got freaked out talking to a floating head, neither can he wear clothes except for his fez because they tend to fall off him (but it doesn't really matter since there is nothing to see anyway). And yes, he can't even sit, since a one-dimensional posterior doesn't really give much of support anyway.

Because of the effects of his queer condition, he became poor and resorted to robbing, but was obviously inexperienced and was seen, arrested, and jailed. While in prison, he contemplated on his anomalies and vowed to have revenge on Ver, whom he still loathes and blames for his mishap, and in just one night, escapes pretty easily (He slipped through the jail bars, since he technically can pass through any gap, but certain gaps such as the one between atoms of solids are off-limits since the great energy in bonds can rip havoc into his universes and himself.) Since then, he became a solitary robber of homes, able to slip between doors and door frames and keep the loot in his deus ex machina-ish fez that keeps all the stash similar to how a holding bag works.

At the same time, police have been on alert for a floating head with a fez very similar to how The Stick would be seen, last seen in the vicinity of 91% of all robberies in Heudringottingenberger-und-Hzyepterzchwagenoftereich. All police attempts to catch him have failed, making The Stick technically a supervillain, but also a myth, generating a number of The Stick wanna-bes throughout the city, who were obviously very easily apprehended.

More of this character in the next post. How exciting!
