What fun! I enjoyed this immensely

. I’ve always been of the opinion that something about elves is inherently funny, and it seems that Author X agrees with me.
Now, as to who Author X might be, I can already tell I’m not going to be very good at this game. I really only had one idea. The most obvious hint was the Batman thing, because who can see the word “Batman” and not think of Lara? And Lara’s great with humor, too, so she was my leading contender. Then again, the Batman/Bruce reference could also be a red herring – the author
wants us to think it’s Lara. But Lara would
know that we might think it was a red herring, so maybe she put it in there on purpose, and who’s to say she hasn’t spent years building up an immunity to Iocaine powder...
But I’ve beta’d some for Lara, and this didn’t
quite feel like her style to me. So I’m going to go with not-Lara, and then I’m fresh out of ideas!
