Saturday : 10 September 05
It’s been a fairly lax day. But, it’s the weekend… and that’s all the explanation that is necessary. It’s also been a rather cool day. I’m not sure, but I don’t think that we broke 70°.

The High-Flying Adventures of Indigo Bolt
Three words (well, two words and a number): Security Level 21.

This evening, I adventured as Ice E Hot’s sidekick in Brickstown and Croatoa – zones in which I, as a solo player, have no business entering. We ran around and beat on things and I accumulated enough experience to break out of Level 20.

After we were done, I considered changing my civilian outfit. Not a complete change, but modifying some of the colors. I opted to leave it the way it is.

    Quote of the Day
    From the opening page of Flash #223:

    “My name is Hunter Zolomon. Despite what the public believes, I am the fastest man alive.

    I am Zoom.

    But I am not a rogue. Far from it.

    I have taken the name and colors of Eobard Thawne — the time traveler known as Professor Zoom — in order to terrorize my friend.

    Wally West. The Flash.

    I suffered through tragedy. I lost my family to it. I understand the depths it will drag one down to. Only by surviving it does one become stronger.

    I will recreate myself to help my friend, and in turn — the world.

    I will do anything to make the Flash a better hero.”

    Time to call it a night. and I are meeting at SLIA tomorrow – he has a three-hour layover – so we’re going to get breakfast/brunch and catch up on what we’ve been up to since the last time we’ve seen each other.

    Namaste.
