> A lot of nice interchanges in this one. Vinny's tricking of Regret proves either he's a lot more savvy than previously indicated, or she's less.

Vinny's quite good at his job. A close examination of his efforts in "the Compound" will demonstrate his technical competence then as well. He's just a bit of a social disaster area and lacking in confidence about how good he really is. A family reunion might help to explain this, but you don't survive to adulthood in the De Soth clan without being able to handle a few extraplanar entities.

As for Regret, she's not got the backing of a major Lord of Hell any more. She's out in the cold living world and she's on a learning curve.

> Koo Koo gave good monologue, and the Desert Rose cameo was a nice surprise.

Those were the bits I felt I needed to run past Scott before posting them; but I'm assuming he'd have objected in the four months he's had the story for review if there was a problem. I refer you to my previous comments about balancing out Koo's past with current story needs.

> Looking forward to the next bit.

I started writing it today, but then Sally fed me.
