An introduction to Blue Sparrow

Blue Sparrow here. Figured I should get around to actually writing some real posts, or some updates, or maybe an essay on bacon or something.


I'm really friggin tired. I was up late last night playing poker fighting crime, and now I'm in a charming Seattle cafe drinking delicious coffee (black, by the way-- I like my coffee like I like my metal). As usual, I'm craving bacon.

So, the search for the perfect arch nemesis: not going so great. I've been contacted by a delightfully evil villain from Canada, but I can't be bothered to go hunt him down right now. I'm in school, so the evil will have to come to me. It's a shame, though, since Canada is full of AWESOME SHIT like BEARS and MOOSE  and.... Canadians. FUCK YEAH CANADA

Someone told me where to find Agent Beryllium and Aluminum Chef IRL, and I'm tempted to go meet them, since they're so close by, but I think I might get all awkward and shy about it. How does someone greet a supervillain?  Do I wear my mask? Or do I go in civvies and pretend I don't know how evil they really are? Ah, decisions, decisions.... I'll probably end up getting nervous and hang out on my computer instead. Or, you know, go outside or something.

So, a little bit about me: I've been patrolling with the Rain City Superheroes since the beginning of January. I didn't even know about all these costumed heroes until I met Jones. He saw my comic books sitting around at my girlfriend's place, and told her he had to meet me. So we met up, talked comics and superheroes, and he tried to get me to join his team. Initially I refused on the basis that I can't crush a man's skull with my bare hands, but Jones told me that was okay. He worked on convincing me for a few weeks, so I gave in. This is working out quite nicely, especially since I'm an insomniac and I like punching things (no, I don't go out punching people on the street. But I like punching my teammates).

My name is Blue Sparrow sort of by accident. I knew I wanted my name to be a little bird, and I like swallows quite a bit, so I wanted to go by Swallow. Jones pointed out the obvious issue with being a female 'superhero' named "Swallow" and reluctantly I admitted he was right and I probably shouldn't pick a name that invites questions about whether or not I.... well, you know, swallow. THAT'S MY SUPERPOWER LOL JK LOL LOL 
So, I picked Sparrow instead. Eh, it works.

So, yeah. I go out and patrol Seattle at night with Jones and the gang. When I'm not out doing that, I'm usually enjoying the finer things in life: delicious bacon, admiring stupendous moustaches, playing pokemon, baking pies...

Yep. So, that's pretty much who I am.
