Am I a Good Guy?

"Am I? Well, sure if you're a stacked, tall, redheaded lady. But not if you are a buggerer of boys! ('One who buggers') Nor, if you are out for me. Some say paranoid. I prefer 'cautious'. A job is a job. There'll be no hobnobbing during an odd job, or two. Unless, of course, the aforementioned red is slobb'n me knob! That's a reserved job." Wink 

"My jobs tend to require finesse, what you call delicate. Others have said it's like balancing an orange on the tip of a vorpal blade. Half of the experts say it will pierce the fruit clean thru, like shrimp-on-the-bar-bee. The other half, me, say it takes skill to keep it up. So, says she!"

"Said jobs need both a bit of chaos and a dash of order. The experts say the end result is complete chaos. I tend to argue that if you can get out of me net without losing a body part, then yes, that is a complete mess!"

"I say again, the big plan is a nice, neat orchestration of chaos. And that, my friends, is how a plan comes together."

      These new stories and the text above (dare I say poetry), really help develop Shade's character.
