3/3/11 Octation's Obsession

This is going to be a novel. Metroscape and it's wacky heroes and villains is going to be a novel.

Octation’s main goal is to steal the Heaven Emerald from the Museum of Gaudy Theatre dress. The museum is challenging to break into because it is located in the basement of an old millionaire spinster’s mansion. One would think a supervillian could overcome an old lady. But this old lady has surrounded herself with retired superheroes from Metroscape.

When Octation first tried to steal the emerald he believed that same thing. He could just sneak in and take it. But what he did not know was the mansion is not only a museum but also a retirement community for the superheroes who are no longer fighting crime.

2/28/11 Octation, the most ambidextrous villian

Omega Lobster and the other superheroes of Metroscape need villians. Here is one.

His brain was larger than most evil villains and he had more arms that most villains possessed also. His brain weighed 15 pounds and made up most of his weight seeing as how the rest of him weighed less than 20 pounds. His arms, actually his appendages, were interchangeable so he could have anywhere between 1 to 6 arms or legs at one time.

Of all the evil villains in Metroscape, Octation was the most ambidextrous.

He was the result of a similar experiment that changed Omega Lobster into the super hero he became. But the experiment that changed Octation into a villain was meant to make them more flavorful.

Octation main goal was to destroy all of Metroscape’s shipping and fishing fleets and also steal the Heaven’s Emerald in the Metroscape museum of gaudy jewelry. He really likes shiny things.

2/27/11 Enter the Bandit 2

A continuation of the Omega Lobster story.

Enter the Bandit.

Millions of dollars.

Actual cash.

Stolen from a series of banks across Metroscape. No one knew who or what committed the crimes but the heroes and heroines of the city were being tasked to find out. Unfortunately, not all of them were particularly focused on the case.

“Oh, God, is that butter?” Omega Lobster stared at the small dish with the many pats of yellow, melting butter.

“Shit. Sorry, Omega. Forgot.” Kay Nine waved the waitress back over to the table.

“Can you take this away, please? He isn’t very fond of butter.” Kay said as the waitress came to the table.

The young girl gave Omega Lobster a puzzled look.

“My kind were eaten with butter,” Omega said.

The waitress smacks her gum.

“I wouldn’t know. Your kind went extinct before I had a chance to try ‘em.” The waitress removed the dish of butter and walked away.

“Jeez, what a bitch.” Omega Lobster’s antennae and antennules quivered in anger.

“Easy, Omega.” Kay said. “I am a bitch and I don’t act that way.”

“Right, sorry.”

Omega takes a bite of his steak.

“Hmmm. I don’t get it. Why is it that cows have not gone extinct yet? They taste so good.”

“Because we raise them specifically for eating. Lobsters were wild, living unchecked in the oceans.” Kay scratches behind her ear. Beneath the table her leg twitches slightly.

“I know, but someone could have started raising lobsters like they do cattle.” Omega said.

Kay thought about it and saw in her head large cattle sized lobsters grazing in a field.

“There were a few lobster farms. But what wiped your kind out weren’t the fat Asses at the local surf and turf buffets. It was a disease. And you were the result of the smart Asses attempts to cure the disease.” Kay smells the food in front of her.

“Yea. Well, they should have tried harder.”

2/11/11 Kay Nein

Every good superhero needs a side kick or ally. Omega Lobster has one that helps him deal with the inner and outer conflicts.

Kay Nein is Omega Lobster’s best friend and ally. She has the ability to change into any type of dog. She was born with this ability and has used it to do both good and bad. When she was a teen she used it to sneak out at night. When she was in her twenties she used it to sneak in to places and steal stuff. Most of the time she was sent scurrying away by the shop or storeowner. Other times the local dog pound would catch her and she would change back when she was locked up and the pound would be very confused about how she got into the cage. She changed though when she met Omega Lobster.

1/6/11: Metroscape's Weirdest Hero

It was called Project Omega Lobster and it was designed to save the last of the world’s lobsters but it failed. Instead it created Metroscape’s weirdest super hero.

Well, not really the weirdest. Gatorman was the weirdest but he was killed in the great Villan war of 1983 when the temperature dropped below freezing due to Dr. Diabolical’s weather machine. So after Gatorman, yes, Omega Lobster was the weirdest.

He was a paradox. How could he help save the citizens of Metroscape if these very people contributed to the extinction of his species. Why did he have to taste so good?!
