Except the definition of length...

Does size matter?

If so, how do you measure it?

Is it the size of the story as a whole, or the girth of the updates, or the frequency of the updates, or the depth of the prose, or the violence of the descriptions?

Do you look for duration, or intensity, or the number of different "scenes" you can bang together before it peters out?

I guess for some people, it only matters how exhausted you feel after it's over.

Note: the next joke must contain the words "happy ending".​
 
It seems to have died out... mostly. But whatever this is from the last few posts? If it hasn't stopped? It stops now. Seriously, wtf.

Challenge Accepted.

--- Frank's no good damn dirty bad week ---

- PRT ENE HQ, Sunday -

Piggot - Your target is this girl. *Activates the screen displaying Taylor Hebert and Sirin side by side* Mover 6, Shaker 7, Thinker 4.
Frank - Woah... we got the civie ID too? What did she do to rate that?
Piggot - She ran away from home, minutes after her father filed papers to induct her into the wards.
Frank - Wait... why?
Piggot - Unknown. She has a known association with...
Frank - Please dont say Empire...
Piggot - ... Glory Girl.
Frank - Thank fucking god.
Piggot - Quite.
Frank - I assume we already checked over at the Dallon residence and known associates?
Piggot - Yes. She hasn't been seen there and the Dallon's graciously allowed Armsmaster to verify the property as not containing her.
Frank - Wow. They are usually hardasses about their autonomy.
Piggot - The fact that we have the law on our side was what swayed Mrs. Dallon, but only just. It's unlikely we will be given a second opportunity like that.
Frank - So we have a runner, She been seen in the city since she booked it?
Piggot - At least twice in the company of Glory Girl.
Frank - So she's not leaving entirely, but getting some space.
Piggot - She seems reasonable when using the soft touch but right now it's entirely likely she's not going to be altogether reasonable.
Frank - Just what we need. A powerhouse with daddy issues. Well I'll get back to you when I know more.
Piggot - Good luck, for what it's worth.
Frank - *Gives a little salute and leaves*

- Motel, Monday -

Owner - What can I do for the PRT officer?
Frank - You seen this girl? *Holds up a photo of Taylor*
Owner - Yeah. Good kid. Pays on time. Why? She done something?
Frank - You know how it is. We just need to get a statement and clear up paperwork and I'm the poor son of a bitch sent out to do the scut work.
Owner - Ahh that's too bad. You look like a nice guy.
Frank - That's the reason they keep me doing this. I should be behind a desk but oh well. *Shrugs*
Owner - Shes in room 2B. Up the stairs, turn left on the right hand side at the end of the hall.
Frank - It's got a window?
Owner - They all got windows. That one just overlooks the shady alley behind the place.
Frank - Right. Take care man.
Owner - Try not to break anything!

- Room 2b -

Frank - *Knocks*
Taylor - *Yells through the door* Go away Frank. I'm not in the mood.
Frank - Come on Taylor, Your father misses you and we need to clear up this paperwork... This situation sucks for us too you know.
Taylor - *Stomping towards the door* You want sucks? I'll give you sucks!
Frank - Shit. *Dives to the side*
Taylor - *Rips the door off it's hinges and flings it into the wall opposite her room* I said. Go AWAY! Maybe you will listen this time Frank?
Frank - This is a bad time... *Dusting himself off* You got a number I can reach you at?
Taylor - Yea, Five Five Five Go fuck yourself!
Frank - Leaving now! *Backs away and quick marches back to the office*

- Motel -

Owner - I heard a crash? Everything ok?
Frank - Yeah there was a bit of a... termite... problem with the door... It just came right off the hinges.... Yep *Slides a card over to the owner*
Owner - Really? *Picks up the card, 'Parahuman Incident Debit Card'* This is for...
Frank - Call the number and get some estimates. We will cover any damages.
Owner - Well... I cant have her here if this keeps happening...
Frank - I'm pretty sure shes already gone or will be shortly.

- Convenience Store, Tuesday -

Victoria - Who the hell are you?
Frank - Call me Frank. *Hands over his PRT credentials*
Victoria - This is a new low. Stalking little girls now?
Frank - I'm not actually here for you directly Miss Dallon. I'm looking for information on a friend of yours.
Victoria - Let me guess...
Frank - Have you seen Miss Hebert lately?
Victoria - You do know she really really hates you guys right now right?
Frank - And our legal department feels a mutual hatred for her right now. Trust me, this sucks for all parties involved.
Victoria - Well you probably already know I've seen her so spit it out.
Frank - For one thing, her father really really want's her back home...
Victoria - Not gonna happen, unless he has a spontaneous recovery from being a complete idiot.
Frank - Yeah. That and we really need to finish some paperwork...
Victoria - Shit... he really did it didn't he.
Frank - Did what?
Victoria - She said he signed her up anyway, going so far as to get new paperwork and everything just because she had the original set still.
Frank - Jeez. Piggy said she was a thinker but she never even talked to her father after he filed the papers. She just up and vanished on him.
Victoria - Well good luck with your shit but knowing her, shes not going to come in quietly. Girl is stubborn as a mule and twice and ornery.
Frank - I honestly hadn't noticed until shes flinging a motel door at me.
Victoria - You play with fire, you get burned. *Checks her Phone* Shit, I gotta fly. *Zips up into the air*
 
I vote that Frank needs to be promoted to Firebird Canon. He'll be the Badass Normal that never utterly loses (gets maimed, mindfucked, or dead) against Capes. Kinda like the Yamada of fieldwork.

Heh. I was kind of going for a Frank Moses...

Competent, experienced, just want's to do his job and live on.

But because hes good at what he does he keeps getting sent in to 'troubleshoot' difficult things.

But a really nice guy when he doesn't have to go mimetic badass because his superiors sent him in against capes... again.

Frank - Moldova sucks.

A Different Frank.

Taylor: So who are you supposed to be? Another PRT lackey trying to recruit me.

Frank: Ah, no. I'm just the Trouble....Shooter.
