Flash Fiction: An Army of Muses

PHOTO PROMPT © Alicia Jamtaas for Rochelle’s Friday Fictioneers. Other stories featuring the prompt can be found here. The muse came home after a hard day at work. Her jaw dropped. Burgled! All the colours were stolen from her home. Her world… grayscale! Damn, shadow men. Kill joys! So much for signed treaties. Melody took out her wand and began restoring her home. A vibrant, saturated palate…

* DUDE, did you sneak da government files in through da cheese fondue AGAIN?!

* WHAT?! No, ya DUNCE!

Scientifically, empirically, the shadow men aren’t real and can’t hurt you. That’s what the government says, and it’s what your parents say. But when you turn off the lights, you know. You fucking know they’re watching your ass, waiting for a bite of that juice.

I've now rewatched the 6 episodes on Disc one and first of all noticed the name Camorra was already used in episodes 1 and 3. I also learned that in the LNs there is a recurring gag of the Camorra members getting annoyed at being mistaken for Mafia.

I also noticed another Shadowmen connection, but it's a bit of a Spoiler.

Spoiler Alert!

In episode 2 one of the character telling the tale of the Rail Tracer turns out later to be the Rail Tracer. That made me think of The Ténèbre brothers from Paul Feval's Knightshade.

Baccano! has Camorra

Well I finally watched Baccano! and in episode 5 they just used the word Camorra, and that fascinates me.

The Camorra was historically a Neapolitan in origin gang of Brigands. But in 19th and early 20th Century fiction references to Italian Organized Crime were usually to them not the Mafia or Silly. That includes Paul Feval's Bell Demonio and it's sequel The Campions of Silence which were in turn tied into the lore of The Blackcoats (Les Habits Noirs), then at least one Sherlock Holmes story and an arch nemesis of A.J Raffles.

There's also Alchemy in it. And characters with French Names.

One of the fun bits of In the Company of Witches and Slayers as an AU:

The show essentially sets up that much of Sunnydale's coverups of obviously supernatural shenanigans was a Mayoral conspiracy and then the immortal with the demon pacts who kept all that together dies and this seemingly has no impact on Sunnydale's awareness of supernatural events. Well here, starting with Willow's brief first Dark Willow moment of summoning a category 5 stormcloud over Sunnydale and on through this the censorship field wavers and finally disintegrates in Sunnydale, though its overall factor as a price of the Shadowmen's original spell makes it to Season 7.

This means that just in time for the Initiative and Adam to finally move to center stage in the 2001 timeframe (and as they've been background villains for a while the reign of terror is actually fairly short and ends well before the start of 2002) that Sunnydale's capacity to see and sense the supernatural suddenly and abruptly changes and it realizes it's got vampires, demons, werewolves, witches, and Slayers running around.

And then becomes Metropolis from DC comics but vampires.

"What the fuck, man! That tiny blonde was kicking the shit out of some Andre the Giant with horns!"

"Oh it's just the blonde Slayer. You should see what the brunette does. If it wasn't for the idea that vampires would kill me I'd support a vampire rights thing."

"Wait, I thought witches needed broomsticks to fly."

"Evidently not."
