Quote: Quote: As I was saying to Vizh, the challenge with this story is graduating Hodgekiss' confrontations. The danger is that otherwise the tale degenerates into a series of angry reactions which don't really add much to the overall narrative.Quote: I meant that Hodgekiss didn't seem to react at all to Anna's name. Like either he ignored it on purpose because he knew CSFB! was trying to irritate him, or he didn't care.He's aware of the bigger picture, so he knows that there are other projects with better success rates. It's not his department getting canned. Quote: Quote: You may wish to wait for how this plot with the Hood pans out since it may make a difference to other stories about it.Quote: I posted it anyway - not to mess up the Hooded Hood's plot, but because after reading it I realized a large portion of the first chapter of Mysteries of Faite started in the recent past (ending right around the time Anna, Lara, Chiaki, and Liu Xi returned home).I've promised myself that I'll allow myself read it when I've got 4000 words of report written. Quote: Quote: As the Word said here, the Hood is making his move. As usual, that's a carefully considered suite of ploys. And there are particular and as-yet-unrevealed reasons why he's in a somewhat uncompromising mood, even beyond having to sacrifice Zdenka recently.Quote: For that, Faite might remind him to remember who his allies are, or at the very least, who his enemies aren't. She doesn't rely on threats - she tries to appeal to his intelligence.For a while the Hood's been quite a passive force in the Parodyverse, even helping out against the Parody Master and the Carnifex. Now he's back to being the big bad, and a different kind of threat to the uber-power of some other menaces. The Hood can be just as dangerous without having ultimate power. I need to remind people of that. Quote: Quote: G-Eyed and Liu Xi share a similar problem just now of being anomalies without poperly rooted timeline histories.Quote: The point was that Liu Xi has heard it before and doesn't really worry about it.Wait until she starts to fade out; but that's a story for another day. Quote: Quote: Amber's resignation has triggered his conversation with his dead girlfriend Izzy, so now his plot can move forward.Quote: I didn't know she was dead. That kind of changes things, because the dead can be manipulated.Izzy Shapiro was Dream's first girlfriend back before he became CSFB! She died of a congenital heart condition. After Dream got his powers she returned either as a ghost or as a left-brain manifestation. She's not been around much since CSFB! married April Apple, although she has popped up doing post-mortem counselling work for a few people. Quote: Like I said, Lara is biting her tongue because she's afraid of what telling the truth will cause. She knows just how dangerous CSFB! can become if he's out-of-sorts enough to believe Lara is saying that because she's turning against him, or if he believes all his friends are.The Hood is working on turning CSFB! into an excellent and dangerous supervillain. Peter Pan becomes Captain Hook. | |||||||
