> ...well, aside from the fact that he's an insufferable jerk. Still, it works for the circles he seems to be traveling in.

Yes, I can see why Tom wouldn't be your favourite character. Vinnie's much closer to the Visionary end of the scale. One day those two will have to meet.

> Lots of interesting intrigue in this one, from the levels of espionage at work (not sure quite yet if Tom is working with his former government or doesn't realize that he sort of is...) to the political situation in Egypt.

I've been waiting for a long time for AG to address the situation he set up in Egypt. When it became evident that wasn't likely in the near future I decided it was time to have a go myself. Scott's seen this and the next chapter, which is as much as I've got written so far of a story I except to take four chapters to complete.

However, caveat lector, since I'm becoming reluctant to write Parodyverse material for diminishing audiences, and I reserve the right no abandon this storyline if people aren't reading it.

> I look forward to seeing more, especially of Regret and Vinnie, two characters of which I'm quite fond. Bring on the next chapter!

I'm fond of Vinnie too. In my original pre-vanishing-posters gameplan I expected him to also guest appear in Deadeyes before we pick up his story again as he seeks a date for his family reunion weekend. I hope we can still get that far.

The date? So many possibilities, but candidates might include Liu Xi, Ruby Waver, Regret of the Damned, Champagne, Marie Murcheson, or Urthula Underess. Votes?
