> > > And you were commenting on Lara Night being a danger to the Parodyverse. At least she's not creating multiple paradoxes which threaten to destroy all of existence in the universe.

> The fall girl for what though? If all existence ends there won't be anyone to object.
> Though that might create an interesting conflict, since as of her talk with Chiaki, Lara believes she might be in the Parodyverse to prevent its destruction (ironically enough, since some believe she may cause it).

I expect we're talking long game here, anyhow. I know I'm playing one.

I have an overall framework in mind for the Saving the Future series. I expect we're about 60% through it now. The Carnifex has already outlined some plans for after that. I expect there to be one more "major" test for our heroes and then the Carnifex will finally move out of the shadows.

> > > I am starting to think that Liu Xi, as much as she's trying to avoid harming anyone again, will end up having to kill the Void Scholar in such a way she no longer depends on him for existence.
> > Assuming that doesn't play into his hands.
> From Liu Xi's point of view, that won't matter if she believes he's going to kill her, or get her killed, somehow.

This will really hark back to our previous conversation about Liu Xi evolving and doing and being things she's not been before. I expect she'll face quite a lot of emotional and physical trauma before she gets to her "pay off" scenes with the Void Scholar.

> It's sounding like Liu Xi will probably have to be saved...again. Just when she might have been the world's savior.

I does sound like that, doesn't it? But actually that would be a narrative weakness. The real job is to get people thinking "How the hell does she get out of that? How can anybody save her now?" and then give her her moment. As I say, that'll be a while yet.

In retrospect I hope it'll become clear how all the elements of our plotline were related and how various key characters got good development arcs. I hope.

> Unless one of the small-time spells Xander gave her isn't so small-time after all.

I haven't worked out the detail of how this all ties up yet.
