5/20/2011:
Years from now, when my medley of masterful machinations has been made manifest, and the all world calls me "melodic
master," will my endless auxiliary reflect upon this moment – that in which I lie cradled in the dread of my lilting
lair, delighting in victory’s sweet nectar and writing run-ons riddled with rapier rhapsody – to recognize the foreboding
beat which foretokened my future? That which drums on even now, ruthless and without relent? (These night classes at the
Manga Khan School of Melodrama are really paying off!)
Regardless, in the immediate, my sights are set on this Aniversario character and his dubious comrades. It seems one
of them – a certain Frightmare – aims to impede my ascension in the town of Easton. Based on the name, I must assume
she is mare – a female horse – hideously disfigured or perverted by cybernetics – more machine than beast. A natural
progression, I suppose. First, I defeat the Colt; now, I must face the ‘Mare. A mother always protects her young.
The following night, I march into seedy Union City to face Sugar Dunkerton. On the surface, it may appear the
age-old tale: Jock vs. Geek. And I agree – given that I am up every morning practicing my routines like a top-tier
athlete, he does look like a geek in comparison. But I believe he also plays a sport called “the hoops” (Reminder
to self: investigate this recreation – likely nefarious.) While I will not write him off as a mere geek, I must
admit that I have trouble taking him seriously as a threat, given his goofy, colorful outfit and boisterous demeanor.
What is this Aniversario’s end-game? Will his henchman have what it takes to topple Marchie Archie? Will the
CHIKARA faithful get to see the showdown they have long thirsted for between Archibald Peck and his nemesis
Aniversario? These questions and so much more will be answered this weekend at...CHIKARA!
