[teaser] Rebuild of Mr. Fnord Goes To Washington

[Foxboy]

Snippet that came to me:

Eljay's normally jovial face darkened into a hooded glare better suited to a Severus Snape cosplayer than a master puppeteer as the junior Senator from New Hampshire took his seat on the panel.

"Don't do anything stupid, VF," *foo* warned.

The heavyset man's face reddened and his shoulders shook in suppressed fury.

"'It's not petty powermongering, Mister Goddard,'" he quoted. "'It's justice. Or at least that's how the papers will see it.'" He seethed for a few moments and then, shaking as the adrenaline wore off, sat down. "This is Mal's show, *foo*. I'll let him handle it. But that toadying sycophantic fearmonger will not enjoy a second term in office if I have anything to say about it."

''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat
them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
