Chapter 4 - Backstory: Dinah Stealth (a.k.a. Livepool)

Backstory: Dinah Stealth (a.k.a. Livepool)

Dinah Stealth is a nobody, and she's more than fine with it. In fact, she prefers it. Fame is for people who peaked in high school and still talk about their varsity letterman jacket. Dinah? She's the type who'd rather blend in, observe, and then quietly drop a truth bomb that leaves the room in stunned silence and mild existential crisis.

Her secret weapon isn't a gadget, a gun, or even a killer roundhouse kick. It's common sense—wielded with the precision and devastation of a weapon of mass destruction. In a world where idiocracy flows through the streets like a busted fire hydrant, Dinah is the lone traffic cop, waving a "Stop Being Dumb" sign while everyone else is busy live-streaming themselves licking doorknobs.

People don't like Dinah. Not because she's mean (she's not), or because she's wrong (she never is), but because she's always right—and she's hilarious about it. She has a knack for slapping people upside the head with logic and then making them laugh about it, which, for some reason, makes them even angrier. It's like watching someone lose a debate to a stand-up comic: humiliating, but you can't help but applaud.

Dinah has never needed recognition. She's the ghost in the machine, the voice of reason in a world addicted to nonsense. She's the friend who tells you your fly is down before you go on stage, and then hands you a witty comeback for when someone inevitably notices anyway.

Her greatest strength? She sees what everyone else ignores. While the world chases trends, Dinah chases the truth—and she's not afraid to call out the emperor's new clothes, especially if the emperor is also wearing Crocs.

So, yeah, Dinah Stealth is a nobody. But in a world gone mad, being nobody is the most powerful somebody you can be. And if you're lucky enough to be on her side, you'll never lose an argument—or your sense of humor—again.

The Golden Lie: The Big Reveal

and the Answer k²y

Everyone knows James Bond's so-called "license to kill" wasn't just in his wallet—it was zipped up in his pants. While he swaggered around with his 'equipment,' I was the one with the expertise, getting the job done—no assembly required, thank you very much.

Bond's legendary "secret weapon" needed a zipper; mine's all skill, zero nonsense, and definitely not issued by Q Branch. He had a license to thrill, but I have a license to kill—no extras necessary, no testosterone-fueled gadgets, and certainly no Aston Martin compensation package.

Let's be honest: while Bond's 'weapon of mass destruction' was busy making headlines (and messes), I was the brains, the muscle, and the clean-up crew—doing all the work, getting none of the credit.

So here's the real cover story: 007's greatest secret wasn't a gadget, a car, or even a martini—it was the actual badass behind the scenes, making sure the mission succeeded while he posed for the camera. And this time, she's stepping out of the shadows.

Meet Dinah Stealth: all skill, no zipper required.
