> > Cross your fingers.  Because in 2 weeks I'll be in Florida for a few days.
>
> Have a nice trip.

I leave on the 17th and return on the 23rd.  Probably will check on the board from time to time but odds are I won't get much writing in.  :)


> > They wouldn't need detail.  Just that if someone says 'Maybe that was a little extreme', Sorceress and Ebony would be the first to say 'No it wasn't'. 
>
> The LL's previous assaults on infernal territory involve dropping a cathedral on a bad guy and loosing the Yurt on the hordes of hell. I don't think they'd feel this was on over-reaction.

Noted. 


> > I'm not sure she'd want them in hell either. 
>
> Oh, she would.

> I should add that I generally assume when I write these PV hell-dimensions that all that you see, even the villainous Hell Lords themselves, are actually superficial lies covering up the real thing, like scum crusting a bottomless pond. If I wrote the nastiest things I could think of I wouldn't even be getting close to the top of the layer beneath.

I don't know about Sorceress or Ebony, but for someone at a young age. Liu Xi nearly qualifies to run hell.  Something about killing a few people and associating with a god of murder, plus the power she has.


> > > I think she's probably the most spontaneous member except for CSFB! and the most flamboyant now Tricky's gone.
> > Seems that Yuki is ideal for Lair Legion publicity after all. 
>
> I've said before that Yuki should be an inspiration to disabled kids across the world.

She might agree, Al B Harper might not.  Imagine if there was a lot of demand for cybernetic bodies, especially if it's so difficult to synthesize some of the parts.


> > If they have enough right now then they have enough.  Yuki's reason for suggestions was because she didn't want to end up working with, say, Carnifex, if there was recruitment. 
>
> Right now everybody would love the Carnifax to lead the team, but they know he's too busy and important.

Yuki would probably be against that.  Not because she knows something's weird, just because she doesn't like the idea of a self-important prima donna running the team. 


> > > Actually, he [the Parody Master] was the guard on the gate to stop the Carnifax getting in. He just got ideas above his station.
> > Too bad he wasn't smart enough to use that as leverage:  "You can't kill me or someone worse will come along". 
>
> The PM really didn't think like that. He didn't believe anything was worse than him either.

There's that short-sightedness of his again.


> > > > As a side note, if Lara does visit and realize he's new, her style is usually to assume he's not harmful since he's not bothering anyone like the Parody Master was.  She has to believe that, simply because she wants the same benefit of the doubt for herself - not to be hunted and eliminated just for being powerful.
>
> I'm just saying that I wouldn't be able to acknowledge any such knowledge when (if) I eventually get round to unfolding what's happening.

Lara won't be able to acknowledge it either.  :)  She knows she's woefully underinformed about the Parodyverse, so one more thing she doesn't know about won't really alarm her. 


> > I guess it depends whether she feels guilty enough to stick around and help Mr. P.
>
> Only you can decide what she does. However, as a general character development comment I'd recommend taking her in different directions to Dancer. Right now Violet is a wanabee thespian temping as a waitress at the Bean and Donut waiting for her big break. Shep's always going to have the #1 niche there whatever happens so Violet will always get sloppy seconds plotwise. She really deserves a set-up where she's #1.

Her dream is to go into acting.  Of course that would depend on either Sarah being a producer, or using her probability powers to change the producer's selections.  In this case she can do neither so Violet seems out of luck for now.
