So. Those of you who come from worlds with vampires, zombies, ghosts, ghouls - you know, undead things of all varieties, I have a question.

See, my dad is the Lord of the Dead. Hades. God of the Underworld, and like a million other titles. Which gives me certain powers too, being his son. Terrakinesis was the first one I discovered, when I was ten. Meaning of course, that I can move the earth, splitting it open if need be. But that's not what I'm talking about here. What I mean is that I have the ability to control certain kinds of Undead creatures. Ghosts and Lares have to obey me (I'm called the Ghost King for a reason). I can raise skeleton armies. Furies have to obey my every whim. I can summon the dead, control them, make them do my bidding.

So I guess my question is...does that work here? Would it work on the undead here? (Are here any undead here?) I know I can shadow travel here, but only within the confines of the Land of Make Believe, whereas at home I can go anywhere on earth. So I'm just wondering.

Juju has been building something in her room, and she won't let me see it.

Should I be worried?

I just went to lunch in my security uniform, and a kid gave me a drawing of Nightwing.

How bad is it if I gave him my "autograph?"

Dog verses Spider*.

Go.

So I was at work today, and this guy comes in and comes up to me, slamming his fishing rod down on the counter, and wanting to know why, when he paid blah blah blah for the rod, he couldn't catch any fish. So I start talking to him, trying to find out what he's doing wrong, and it turns out he's fishing in knee deep water, in the middle of the day, with just a hook. No lure. No worm.

Apparently he'd seen it done in some movie.

Now, granted. You can fish in knee deep water. Sometimes it's even best. But with a fly rod. And you still have to have some sort of bait or lure. Fish might not be the brightest bulbs in the ocean, but they're not particularly attracted to the smell of sharp metal. Go figure, right?

Are people really that stupid? Or is this guy - please - an exception?

If I hadn't given up drinking a long time ago, I could really use a drink tonight.
