The Adventures of Sancreek Bold, or, The Trials and Tribulations of Hugo Makewar's Editor
\tSancreek locked the door.\n\t"Damn Octosects," said The Voice.\n\t"Eye-Mantises," Sancreek said, trying to be Firm. She was, after all, Editor-in-Chief. She turned slowly.\n\tSod Kale, Society Reporter, stood quaking behind his desk. His chair was overturned. His huge glasses, which were large even by Goggle standards, still held the after-glow of images, though he had, apparently, decided to power them down under the extraordinary circumstance of a monster attack. Or was it extraordinary? Kale seemed upset, but he was not actually unconscious and/or gibbering. From what Sancreek had heard of Kale's Adventures Among The Nobs, he generally fainted under stressors. He had disgraced himself at Ascot during the bombing, and had had to be brought round with smelling salts.\n\tThe creature thudded against the office door. A terrible cry, redolent of aggrieved hunger, came from whatever the thing used for a voice-box.\n\t"Help me shift this," said Kale, attempting to tip over his desk.\n\tA green claw, encrusted with eyes, flashed into the room from the gap between the door and the floor. Sancreek just managed to get her ankles out of the way of the attack. The eyes scowled balefully at the ankles; Sancreek raised her foot high, preparing to deliver a Crashing Blow. The claw was hastily retracted.\n\tKale shuddered. "Quickly," he said.\n\tThey got the desk in front of the door.
Congratulations!\n\tYou have died! Or, rather:\nCongratulations! \n\tYou have killed Sancreek Bold!\n\t\n\tPerhaps it was your choices. Or perhaps it was the mysterious workings of Fate.\n\tIt is, I hear, Inscrutable. \n
****Congratulations! Sancreek has reached Hugo's office. She isn't happy about this, but that is, in part, because she does not know what Perils she has avoided.****\n\n\tHugo Makewar, Ace Reporter, preened himself in front of an elaborately scrolled and gilded mirror that he almost certainly stole from The Past, possibly setting off a Chain of Events that Changed Everything, or, then again, Possibly Not Doing That.\n\tHe was wearing an antiquated Formal Suit. It had Tails.\n\t"Hugo, we need to talk," Sancreek said, severely.\n\t"You can't fire me," bragged Hugo Makewar, "I am an essential asset to Atherton's Magic Vapour. And, I have reason to believe, I am also the illegitimate great-great-whatever-great-grandson of our illustrious Foundress."\n\t"Yes. You mention that regularly. In your articles. And at office parties at Atherton Manor. And I once found you explaining your genealogy to a homeless man with whom you were drinking in an alley," Sancreek said, soothingly.\n\t"My point is," said Hugo, polishing his monocle, "you can't fire me." \n\t"I didn't say anything about firing you," Bold said, carefully, "I said we need to talk. About the whole time-travelling thing."\n\tHugo Makewar squinted at his reflection in his mirror, looking dissatisfied. He pulled his cigarette case out of his pocket and opened it on the side with the face-powder (the other side had cigarettes) and the little poof-thing. He applied a smattering of powder to his manly nose.\n\t"Help me out, here," he said to Bold. "I need your honest opinion."\n\tBold was totally ready to give him her opinion. She gave him both barrels. "I think that your constant time-travelling and your willingness- nay, eagerness- to Interfere with past events may quite possibly bring about the end of the world as we know it. I think-" she said.\n\t"Bold," Hugo said, holding up a hand, "That is not the point at issue at the moment. What I want your input on is my personal appearance, not all this you-are-going-to-destroy-the-world nonsense."\n\t"Your personal appearance?" Sancreek could Hardly Believe What She Was Hearing. \n"I'm going to a party," Hugo explained, helpfully. "I've got a hot date."\n\tSancreek looked at Hugo more carefully. \nShe took in his antiquated gent's outer-wear, his topper, his brilliantined hair, his spats. Suspicion dawned in Sancreek, and rapidly became horrified certainty. "You are going to a party," she said, slowly. "In the past."\n\tHugo nodded. "And I want to look my best," he said, solemnly.\n\t"You have made an assignation with a woman from the past. You are escorting her to a party she was probably supposed to go to with someone else." Sancreek spoke slowly.\n\tHugo nodded. "Yeah, she was all set to go with the Hon. Freddie Wilberforce, but I punched him out, and that impressed her, so now she's going with me. I'll write it up for the paper, if that is what is worrying you." It wasn't. Hugo saw that it wasn't, and tried to help. "I've told her I'm from the future, if you're worried I'm leading her on," he added.\n\t"He's told her he's from the future," Sancreek's head swam. She spoke to no-one in particular. Hugo saw that she was speaking to no-one in particular, and turned back to his image in the mirror.\n\t"You told her that you are from the future. Does she believe you? I don't think," Sancreek said, "I would believe you. In fact, I still kind of don't believe that you can travel through time. No-one else can. They replicate your methods, and they just vanish and never come back. We never see them again." Sancreek's voice crackled with the emotional strain of Not Thinking about Aura Lee.\n\tFinally satisfied, apparently, with his appearance, Hugo Makewar draped himself in a shimmering cloak of black plastic and took The Device from his waistcoat pocket. He began to wind it. Sancreek knew she didn't have long. Soon, there would come the flash of light, and Hugo Makewar would be off causing trouble in the past.\n\t"Wait!" Sancreek cried. And then, she...\n\t\t\t[[Pleaded with Hugo Makewar not to go (this is unlikely to work)]]\n\t\t\t[[said, "you can't go! Have you forgotten our duel?" (this will be news to Hugo; it may, however, arrest his attention)]]\n\t\t\t[[Tackled Hugo Makewar in an attempt to wrest The Device from his grasp]]\n
\nSancreek Bold was not having a good day. \n\tThere were various reasons for this. \n\tShe was the Editor-in-Chief of Atherton's Magic Vapour (aka AthMagVap), the Blaugh and News Vendor that PeopleMag had voted "Most Popular Thing of That Sort" in 2212. It was now 2213, and the People people were being evasive about whether or not this coup was likely to be repeated. She'd just had a very unsatisfactory iDictaBrain Convo with Idio Mapp, PeopleMag's Liasoneer. He had Refused To Commit Himself. It was Not Good.\n\tMs. Bold was also Not Thinking of Aura Lee. She spent a lot of time Not Thinking of Aura Lee, although she varied this by spending some time Not Brooding about Aura Lee, and the occasional bout of Not Sobbing Hysterically Into Her Pillow. \n\tAura Lee had once worked at AthMagVap. She and Sancreek had met while they were both up to their elbows in Editorial Labours. Aura Lee was a very attractive woman, and, well, in short... AHEM! We shall tactfully blur the details: we will simply say that Romance Happened. \n\tAt the time of Aura Lee's disappearance, the Bold-Lee Wedding ("Bold-Lee going where no man has ever gone before" headed the invitations; they'd been slightly drunk when they'd designed them) was decidedly looming on the horizon. \n\tAnd then, Aura Lee had disappeared. She'd stolen Hugo Makewar's time-travel device, and, presumably, Travelled Through Time. \n\tBut she hadn't come back.\n\tNo-one except for Hugo Makewar had ever come back from a Time-Travelling Mission.\n\tAnd this brings us to the primary blighter of Sancreek Bold's day. Hugo Makewar, Time-Travelling Reporter for AthMagVap. An asset for the Blaugh, sure, but Hard/Impossible To Manage, and Very, Very Dangerous. Sancreek was increasingly alarmed about Hugo Makewar's cavalier attitude about interacting with The Past; he didn't seem to care that he might, by punching the faces of, and fornicating freely with, the population of The Past, he might change or destroy The Present.\n\tAnd Sancreek needed to have another little talk with him.\n\tThis would blight any editor's day.\n\tBut it had to be done. She had to try to save The Universe As We Know It.\n\tSancreek sighed, did a minute of Deep Breathing, and then started the journey to Hugo Makewar's office.\n\n\t\t[[Take The Teleporter]]\n\t\t[[Take The Stairs]]\n\t
\tUsually, Sancreek took the stairs. It was good exercise, and Hugo Makewar's office was only two stories up from hers.\n\tBut she felt too tired to face stairs today. \n\tSancreek stepped into the crackling blue light of the teleporter and indicated that she would like to be re-constituted two floors up.\n\tShe stepped out of the Re-Constituting Pod and started down the hall towards Hugo Makewar's office.\n\tAnd her day abruptly got even worse.\n\tThere was an odd thrumming noise in the hallway, but Sancreek had long ago accepted that, when you had a floor, and Hugo Makewar was on that floor, you had inexplicable noises as a sort of natural by-product.\n\tThen she heard the chittering. \n\tIt was coming from behind her.\n\tAnd it was moving towards her, rapidly.\n\tMost Editors in this situation would have turned around to see what was making the noise, with a view to firing it, if at all possible.\n\tMost Editors would therefore have died.\n\tSancreek was, however, not most editors.\n\tShe had been Hugo Makewar's theoretical boss for over a decade.\n\tShe had, therefore, certain Instincts denied most editors of a more sedentary habit.\n\tShe saw that the door she was passing was slightly ajar, and she dove inside.\n\tAnd so the Creature's killing blow missed her almost completely, merely grazing her shoulder.\n\tShe slammed the door in the thing's face. As she did so, she was glad that she only got a glimpse of it. Or, rather, she was glad in a kind of a way. It was Something. It was Not Quite As Bad As It Could Have Been.\n\tOf course, what she had seen would probably give her nightmares for the rest of her life. \n\tShe did not care much for Praying Mantises.\n\tOr for things with tentacles.\n\tOr for things absolutely covered in eyes.\n\tAnd the thing had been very big. While not absolutely opposed to big things (Sancreek was completely willing, for example, to accept a mountain as a friend and a brother), she was opposed to big things shaped like much smaller things. Like 5-foot Eye-Mantises.\n\tIt was, she noticed, scrabbling at the other side of the door now, though with what limb she did not like to think.\n\t"Lock it," a voice said from behind Sancreek.\n\t\t\t\t[[Turn Around To See Who Is Speaking]]\n\t\t\t\t[[Lock The Door Immediately]]
Sancreek's feeble pleadings fell on deaf ears... and then on no ears at all... as Hugo Makewar vanished in a flash of light.\n\tThe rest of Sancreek Bold's day, though it had its ups and downs, was not sufficiently action-packed to merit further recording.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTHE END

"Yes," said Hugo, returning The Device to his pocket, "I had."
\tSancreek tackled Hugo Makewar just as he pressed The Button on The Device.\n\tThere was a flash of light.\n\tThen, nothing.\n\tThen the sound of crickets.\n\tSancreek opened her eyes in The Past.\n\tShe hadn't been expecting that.\n\tHer first action was to vomit on History. \n\tHistory was, in this case, represented by a clump of grass, some mud, and a dead worm, floating on the greasy surface of a puddle of water.\n\tIt is strange to reflect how often History seems to assume this form.\n\t
