The Superhero Diaries 1.5: Social Media Freaks


Taken from a recent evening conversation on the social media übersite, UMetroNetworkMediaK, or UMNMK for short. This is the end of a conversation between members of the Elite Force of Britain:

PaRRotGirl-official:
LOL
            Lycralad:
btw Did you see doctor who Parrot Girl?

PaRRotGirl-official:
No, missed it. I was out with Firetop and Invisible Charlie looking for Muriel. Where were you?
Lycralad:
I was helping Patricia Power locate some Crystal of Clarity down in the Sewers of Doom at Blackpool

PaRRotGirl-official:
Is that the new ride?
Lycralad:
Nah – I wish LOL! – No we were actually in the sewers looking for a bright orange crystal that she’s been dreaming about for months. It st
Lycralad:
ank.
Lycralad:
Did you get Mutiel?
Lycralad:
*muriel*

PaRRotGirl-official:
Oh, you’re on holiday this week, I forgot! No, we were at the deserted factory following a lead. Viridian and Psychic Sue found her in the bas

PaRRotGirl-official:
ement where the Overthrower had left her. She said she’d rushed in to the building but he’d caught her off guard and sprayed her with some s

PaRRotGirl-official:
leeping gas. She was well away when they found her, and missed all of her texts. Her cardigan was ruined.
Lycralad:
Oh no, not the yellow one! She loved that one. She’ll have a score to settle now with the Overthrower. Remember her ear rings? LOL
Lycralad:
Will you be joining the team soon? I know Hothead wants you to join

PaRRotGirl-official:
Hothead will be after you for typing that you know! I don’t mind helping out, but I’m not ready for joining the EFB just yet!
Lycralad:
You should! You fit in really well with the group. Well, most of us. You don’t need to worry about the Stealth Gentleman – he’s like that with e
Lycralad:
veryone.

PaRRotGirl-official:
I’ll think about it. Gotta go now, the milk’s boiling over. See you next week!
PaRRotGirl-official/END
Lycralad:
See you next week, Parrots.
Muriel Magnificent:
Lycralad it wasn’t my favourite cardigan – it was the blue one, the one you didn’t like.
Lycralad:
Oh hi M – have you been waiting long? Great news about your cardigan!
Muriel Magnificent:
Thought you’d be pleased. No, just logged on. The phone lines are quiet tonight. Do you know who Herox is? He’s chatting to me on my s
Muriel Magnificent:
tream.
Lycralad:
Herox? Nope. Never heard of him. He’s probably one of those out of that hero scholarship thingy. What’s he saying?
Muriel Magnificent:
Nothing much really, just general chatter. You don’t really get a good conversation on these things, especially when you type with one fing
Muriel Magnificent:
er like I do. And all these breaks get on my wick. No wonder the phones are quite tonight. Everyone’s on here.
Muriel Magnificent:
bothering blisters *quiet*
Lycralad:
Hang on – Herox rings a bell with me now, M, don’t know where from. See if you can find out.
Muriel Magnificent:
Hotline’s ringing Lycralad, I have a call to attend to. See you when you’re back in next week! Mx
Muriel Magnificent/END
Lycralad:
Must go myself now – I’ve been on here for hours and my phone battery’s almost dead. And I need to go to the shop. Bye.
Lycralad/END
Herox:

    I love it Tom! Superheroes are just as mundane in their chats as the rest of us!

      Thanks, Andra. And the formatting seems to have worked as well, apart from that little hiccup at the beginning that I couldn’t fix!

      I can’t promise anything about an Avengers one, Jo, as I don’t – I mean – the person who has access to these records here may not have the same access to the Avengers’ documents. Never say never, though… 😉

    Is this a new concept? Interesting. Look up with the times. . .but what do I know.

      It’s a bit like Twitter only not as restrictive, Tess… it’s more popular with the superhero community than us ‘ordinary’ folk… not that we’re ‘ordinary’ by a long shot, I have to add.
