Subj: Yes, we've seen the illustrations of the distractions.

Reply Subj: I wouldn't worry... I'm easily distracted from it.

    Actually, I'm a fan of stories that are able to bring me down, at least momentarily. Proves I'm invested in them. Of course, the writer has to have been the one responsible for that investment if he's looking to take credit. I'd like to take a shovel alongside the head of many comic writers who have offed a character they didn't create and then taken credit for being able to provoke a strong reaction from fans.


Proceed.

      This may be where we vary in interpretation. I still see Amnesia as exactly the same person Laurie was. I suppose I'm thinking along the lines of Shep's Far Off story where the Legion lost their memories but their characters were still intact.



    Quote:
    It's harder for me to see it as a direct continuation of the character, but then so much time has passed as well and that probably doesn't help.


Laurie was never that happy a character anyway, Bad things had a tendency to happen to her.

      Anyway, CZ's just starting her story arc really so there's time to show not tell this stuff later; starting with the very next section.




      Quote:
      I'm glad to hear it, as I still find the character and her set up very interesting and want to see more. Plus, the best cure for a character who has been forgotten a bit is a batch of new stories.


    Another major Amnesia bit in our very next segment.


      Quote:
      It's a tough one for her. She faced the realms of the elder beings to save the Legion from the Carnifex. She only retained her sanity due to the intervention of the Hood (who also had a vested interest in the Legion taking down the Carnifex, of course). She only keeps it while the Hood continues to maintain that intervention. The alternative is terrifying and horrifying. She's one unhappy seeress.



    Quote:
    Oh, the irony of her going mad trying to save the team isn't lost on me... I still feel very sorry for her as a reader. But the part of me that thinks like the characters notes that it's going to sting when they find out that she's making secret calls to Lord Hood to lead them astray.


Indeed. And being outcast is what Vespiir dreads the most.


    Quote:
    Vizh probably isn't all that comfortable with the whole "House of Viisionary" idea, but I'm sure he wouldn't discount it as an obligation he has to watch out for them... He'd feel a great deal of responsibility to anyone who used that kind of title, and so I think he's going to be hurt when he finds out even though he doesn't know Vespiir that well. The Juniors have a very real "house" of their own going, though, and that's where the real drama is going to happen.


Vespiir was assigned to Vizh's house by Ohanna, as I recall; but he could probably blame Miiri.

      Quote:
      One wonders if she can see the consequences of helping the Hood's plans forward or if that has been denied her by... the Hooded Hood.



    Quote:
    Yeah, I did wonder that. At the very least, I believe from her reactions that she knows the Hood is an enemy in this case, at least.


She can see some of his futures.

      Quote:
      Great job on the Hatman fight (is he still Hatman, or just Jay now?) I hope he didn't save the Losers from the crowd too soon...


    I'll still be calling him Hatty et al until someone tells me not to.


      Quote:
      I'm curious as to whether depowered Hatman remains a subplot running throughout Untold Tales, or whether it merges back in with the Legion storyline.


    There's a pretty good liklihood that the LL will take a renewed interest in GMY after this incident, assuming their own distractions get resolved eventually.


      Quote:
      I wonder where Liu Xi has vanished to, and whether she remembered to bring a towel.



      Quote:
      It's just, I don't believe she took much else to wear with her. Hopefully it's warm, wherever she ended up.


    I'm sure there'd be a facecloth or something.


      Quote:
      Well, it's not like this line-up change had been particularly easy up until this point... why shift now?


    As you wish.
