fiction_drabblesTitle: Logo
Prompt: Symbol (#1)
Fanfiction: Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Characters: The Laughing Man
Rating: G
Warnings: Contains major spoilers regarding the Laughing Man Incident and the Laughing Man's identity.
Author's Notes: Meh. I want to redo this one; too much “tell”, not enough “show”.
He never should have used the logo, Aoi realized later. On the Net, Anonymity was a shield: no one can track down a shadow. By avoiding all recognizable features, he could become universal, invisible, an unknown source.
Using the logo killed any chance at anonymity. It put a face on his stunt, a smile with rotating text. Soon that smile had a name—“the Laughing Man”—and not long after that, the Laughing Man had a life of his own.
Hiding from Serano Genomics, that was simple enough. To escape the Laughing Man, he'd have to avoid anarchy itself.
