Karma and Hercules

Be Hercules.

WANT TO BE ME TODAY?

Play this. You'll see what I mean. I’ve got to beat this bully!

[heroonthedl]

I just tried to say, “Hello.”

[heroonthedl]

I got zapped again.

[heroonthedl]

I LIKE TO AVOID BANISHMENT

Shhh! 

Don't say my name. 

She'll flick-zap me awaaaaaayyyyy.

[heroonthedl]

FLUTTER VS. PLOP

Why does her dress flutter when there is no breeze? 

Is it because she has that affinity with those birds? 

Birds flutter. 

Karma flutters. 

I don't flutter. 

I plop. 

They even gave me wings now, and I still plop when she flicks me.

[heroonthedl]

IF YOU ASK A PERSON TO HELP LET THEM DO IT THEIR WAY.

BUT I GUESS SHE HASN'T EVER ASKED ME TO ACTUALLY HELP.

I'm not obsessed with her. 

I'm trying to show her that I can help too, but I disagree on method.

PERK: GLOWING

How does she glow? 

And when do I get that perk? 

I know, I know. I'm already golden, you say. 

You want to glow too?  

Yes, I want that glowy thing too.

[heroonthedl]

I VOTE: BAD AIM

Does she drop me in water on purpose or does she have bad aim and just launches me close enough to my island? 

Ugh.

[heroonthedl]

CAN I GET INTERNET INSTALLED ON MY REMOTE BANISHMENT ISLAND?

Do you know how long it takes me to get back here? 

I don't have internet on my island. 

I have to fly way back here for that.

[heroonthedl]

I GOT WINGS. I WISH I GOT THUNDERBOLTS, DAD.

Hero on the DL

Enough with the zapping!

[heroonthedl]

IS FAME REALLY THAT BAD A THING?

Anonymous H

I don't know how she stands it. 

Why wouldn't she want everyone to know what she's been up to? 

She does amazing things. 

Everyone used to know everything I was up to whether I wanted them to or not.

[heroonthedl]

HOW'S THIS FOR SUBTLE?

Oh, funny story. Check out what Karma texted me. (Karma is in blue.)

[heroonthedl]

ACHIEVE SOMETHING...

Ah-hah! I found a new definition that I think I actually understand. 

From google again because it's faster than getting out that big book, making use of clever and indirect methods to achieve something. 

Subtle. 

Hmmm.

About that indirect method thing...why would you do that? 

I like to be direct. 

Like, "Hey, Karma. Wanna go on a date?" You know that kind of direct.

[heroonthedl]

SHE WANTS ME TO DO WHAT EXACTLY?

I found a new definition of subtle from google search. 

Subtle = (of a mixture or effect) delicately complex and understated. Well, that actually describes her. 

I still don't see how that can apply to problem resolution.

[heroonthedl]

I CAN'T SAY HELLO?

Ugh! 

She keeps blasting me back to my island every time I try to introduce myself. 

I just don't get it.
