Episode 391: Shadow of a Phoenix, chapters 9-13

To the ninjatorium!

In this section of Shadow of a Phoenix, our designated heroine, Midnight’s Shadow, faces the toughest decision of her life, one that could affect her entire future and where lives hang in the balance. That’s right, she tries to decide what she wants to buy from a vending machine. And yes, the fic plays this for as much drama as possible. Which, by the way, seems to now be her character in a nutshell as she strives to make every last little thing as overwrought as possible. Also she joins a top-secret multinational supertech task force and engages in a training montage, as well as being faced with the very real threat of having to fight a ninja, but all that seems somewhat irrelevant next to her wangst. So grab some pretzels (spoilers, sorry) for the next meandering chunk of Shadow of a Phoenix.

Another sad victim of sudden onset decapitation

If you thought that Shadow of a Phoenix was just going to be a girl sitting in a room and brooding then be prepared to be proven wrong. For in this next chunk of fic, she sits around in a car and then a plane and broods! How’s that for a plot twist? Furthermore, rather than just being dragged around the arm by one guy, she instead meets a bunch of people who genuinely want to help her and are concerned for her wellbeing. Naturally, she’s as hostile towards them as possible, because that seems like a sensible thing to do. But it is progress of a sort, and in this fic I’ll be willing to take any I can get. So plug in your iPod and drown out the sound of elite supertech covert teams clashing with your own wangst for the next portion of Shadow of a Phoenix.

(Thanks a heap, Karin)
