I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but I'm going to wallpaper my lair in mounted butterflies to break up the monotony of the walls. Perhaps I'll fill in the gaps with some sort of mural. Pride of place above my bed goes to my breathtaking M. Adiensis, of course. Only a fellow collector could possibly appreciate this as I do; it's my Van Gogh original, my Stradivarius, my Holy Grail, whatever metaphor you choose.
Was very nearly recognized this morning by what I can only assume to be a witness to last week's encounter, or even the Bronze Bowman herself. I was at the post office, picking up my wonderful package, when i spotted a woman staring at the tear in my pantleg. I silently cursed myself for thinking I could leave my work pants on and cover them with a trenchcoat. At the very least, I should've restitched them.
In any event, I managed to explain it away as a theatrical outfit I hadn't had time to change out of, and what business is it of hers anyway? Must remember to be more careful in the future.
Trying to figure out what I'm doing for Easter. Not that such trifles concern me, but as an "upstanding citizen", I do need to keep up appearances. Perhaps I'll attend a fancy benefit dinner or something. And of course, I'll be taking a few days off from crime. Burglary on a holiday weekend is just gauche; I'm a sophisticate, after all, albeit with a violent streak. Perhaps I'll utilize the extensive yard to plant a sizeable garden, to attract my favorite fluttering friends. Or I could work on the Pollen Gun I've been toying with.
It's not that I want to appear more modern; far from it. But while most heroes don't do guns, I need something to deal with archers, apparently. And it's hard to work non-melee tech into a cudgel,, hence the need for a sidearm. It will fire pellets filled with exotic pollen, which should handily incapacitate even the non-allergic while leaving them alive to feel the shame of having been defeated by some nut in a butterfly costume. If it's successful, I intend to produce a couple more, and hire out a minion or two. The Pollinators seems like a decent name for them; perhaps I can dress them as a bee and a swallowtail, with gimmicks to match. But that's in the future. For now, I have butterflies to hang up.

Our little project has gone off wihout any significant issues. Only Velocity met at the agreed location- a valuable ally, to be sure, but also indicative of how much work i have to do to gain a reputation around here-, but between the four of us, we made short work of the security at our local candy factory. I had selected it, not only for the thematic aspect of stealing/contaminating candy on Halloween, but also to put a dent in the finances of that heartless, pollution-spewing, downright ugly monstrosity that, frankly, can't make a decent lolly to save their pathetic lives. Hopefully they got the message, especially since

Modifications complete! The whole project turned out amazingly, if i do say so myself. The proboscides are realistically narrow, and i've even worked in retractable mouthplates so as not to muffle our chilling threats of terror. Tomorrow, we shall carry out a Halloween-themed crime spree of some sort, hopefully with the help of a few other villains. I mean, what's the point of becoming a supervillain if you can't have fun with it once in a while?
Oh, and i'm not sure what exactly i'm dealing with here, but some anonymous force has been disrupting the Coccoon's signals. I finally headed for the roof to check the dish, and discovered the appa

Well, that was awful. Our first real outing went as planned, up until the arrival of a pair of well-equipped vigilantes just as we were leaving the art gallery. I've already analyzed what I did wrong: one, some sort of levitating satchel, possibly coccoon-themed, would have lightened our load and expedited our escape, thereby avoiding the "heroes" by several minutes. Two, incorporating gas masks into our costumes will help us to avoid being knocked unconscious before we even catch a glimpse of who we're up against. It was pure dumb luck that Nightflight managed to avoid capture, and I must say, he's done a truly fantastic

Field test complete! We have successfully trounced an up-and-comer who dared to step on my toes.
On the way home, we spotted a mothlike silhouette and decided to suit up and follow it. Turns out some putz a few towns over had the stupid audacity to take up hero work with a moth suit! At least I assume he was a hero. Perhaps I interrupted a villain. Either way, his shoddy outfit and subpar skills were easily dealt with by my minions alone, and rather handily too. I doubt he'll be taking flight anytime soon. Mothmaster, indeed. I'm surprised he hadn't beaten himself into submission on a streetlight before I even arrived.

Ughhh, more henchies. Just ratcheting up the pressure on us solo heroes to get a sidekick or do more team-ups.
