So...what's the etiquette here? If she gets half the fortune cookie, does she get half the fortune? Or does one of us get the lucky numbers and one gets the fortune? My Saint And Sinner's inquiring mind wants to know...

Out, numb sleepy pets and Autumn silhouettes

Sometimes my timing is accidentally impeccable...

When the sky turns grey, promising rain to pound it's pavement drum,
And lightning to flash it's electric strings alongside thunder's guitar strum.
The leaves whip and whirl in their spiraling chaotic moshpit scrum,
And camouflaged coppery canine coats comingle with the crackling crunchy cascade of Autumn.

Countdown to Halloween, Day 4, Cowboys and cattle dogs:

Countdown to Howlaween, Day 3, Superhero Shenanigans:

Concept One, The Cur with Kobe EchoBee and WildCard Winnie: The Cur is a shadowy figure who through study and hard work gained the powers of extreme situational awareness, allowing her to near-see the immediate future and plan accordingly. Raised in an orphanage, he learned to fight at a young age, soon becoming top draw in gambling-themed villain Wild Card's underground fight club, before leaving(though that wouldn't be the last he'd see of Wild Card who would like nothing better than to have his top draw back again). In the present, he's a wandering squatter, being dependent on no one, while serving justice as The Cur against villains like The Dollmation, Calico, Mirror, Vacuum and others, aided by his one-man helicopter/motorcycle hybrid called The Hurricanine gifted her by fellow superhero Hot Rod(mechanic with kustomizing superpowers) and occasionally with BatHound EchoBee by his side.

Concept Two, ChiropteRoo with Bmore Batty: Bmore Batty(both a recommendation and a superhero) and ChiropteRoo keeping eyes peeled for crime. Bitten by a radioactive bat who drank from the Harbor, with echolocation powers, they now fight for Truth, Justice, and the Chiropteran Commandments of, among others, be unusual like a flying mammal, be attracted to the light and to those who are attracted to it like bats to moths, and get life out of life like the vampires they inspired.

Countdown to Howlaween, Day Two, Folklore and Fairy tails:

Concept One: Mina Masterless and the Flamingo King from forthcoming(not really) Disney princess movie "Masterless": In the Roaring Twenties, rebellious Mina Masterless travels the East Coast, a productive precursor to the later civil rights champion instilling revolt against the racial and social politics of the time. Alongside her loyal friends, Lil Billie, Childhood Cab and Big Mama Thornton, she finds herself in the midst of the Harlem Renaissance and confronting the Flamingo King and his henchmen Jim Crow and Bull Connors, who wants nothing more than to keep the races separate but unequal. With jazz and soul, she strives to bring the races together, both learning and teaching the lesson that music is power, all while romance beckons with the jumpin' jivin' jazzy jaguar, the Leopard Prince!

Concept Two: Jailhouse Drew and Prison Bar Czar: Incarcerated for the con of sending his dalmatian accomplice as a dog in need of rescue to wealthy houses only for the barking burglar to sneak away with a few valuable mementoes, the Deceptive Duo made their escape at their first opportunity, rechristened themselves Connin' Hood and Will Czarlett. From their home base of Baltimore's Sherwood Heights, they now have expanded their operation to a whole band of "Merry Mutts" who survive and thrive by robbing from the undeserving rich to aid the oh so deserving poor.

Concept Three: Roo(Rue) the Midnight Hour

Countdown to Howlaween, Day One, Into the Spiderverse:

Silk Shooter and Remi Rodeo: In the long-gone days of the old, wilder West, there was an innocent young boy, Robert Rancher. In a tale that's been repeated countless times throughout the multiverse, he lost his parents at an early age, and was raised by his white Aunt Maybelline and Native American Uncle Bend-of-the-branch. Other than that, he had the usual childhood, until the day he was bitten by a spider brought to life as an unintended result of a local Navajo shaman's ritual entreaties to Na'ashjé'íí Asdzáá or Spider Woman. Given superpowers by this unforeseen consequence, he at first used his powers to travel the range with a traveling carnival, entertaining with his acrobatics, until the day his uncle was killed by The Cattle Baron in a power move he could have stopped. Taking heed of his uncle's last words, "with great lawlessness comes great opportunity", he now rides the new frontier, masked and with his trusty net-shooting guns at his sides, creating justice whenever the opportunity arises. Listen for the howl of his loyal companion, rescued performing dog Remi Rodeo, and know that Silk Shooter, the Wild Web of the Wilder West, is on his way.

Meanwhile, more than a century later, his descendant, Iggy Pup, finds himself in similar circumstances. Different time, different name, different furbuddies but same moral. He is: The Arach n' Roller, with loyal companions WebLillie, Gracie Eightlegs, and Dr. Francanine's Monstrous creation, Pooh The Yorkshire Terriantula.
