As told to Steven by Nigel P. Arrisson, Para-not-normalist, Crypto-capitalist, and Theatre Critical of The London Fogg. (Perished October 31, 1939)
The Myth Council is a 100,000 year old bureaucracy, which taxes and regulates myths worldwide. Everything from Cupid, the Devil, Lucky #7, but also modern myths such as Weapons of Mass Destruction and those are Nicole Kidman’s natural breasts. Mary Spensor is a 16 year old in a small isolated Midwestern town who doesn’t know she’s really the Greek myth of Persephone, which is why her life is a living hell, while her best friend is an old Jewish vampire who runs the local Chinese restaurant. When Santa Claus gets fired by the Myth Council, gets drunk and crash lands on the rooftop of the Belleview Mortuary, it sets off a chain of events, including the reincarnation of Para-not-normalist, Crypto-capitalist, and investigative journalist for The London Fogg, Nigel Arrisson, whose main purview is to somehow find the one copy of The Myth Council Handbook, Edition 11, published 1,481, because he believes it contains the secret numerical code to the English language, which can unlock the “power of the dead”, which the Myth Council want to exploit, mainly for their own greedy means, because the power of the dead is based on the mystical power of luck itself, which can be harnessed at the feet of a recently deceased person.
