One thing I'd like to try is to have a small core LL cast and see if that encouraged more people to write adventures for them.

> > > I enjoyed Hatman and Epitome's exchange. I think things have definitely cooled between the two; fighting for your very existence and that of the entire universe shoulder-to-shoulder will do that. > > I figured it was time to show a different kind of interaction between them, at least on this occasion. > Do you think the animosity is still there or would they be getting over it?

I never really had much to do with that interaction anyhow, so I think it's for you and Shrike to decide. I see Yuki and Epitome having perhaps moved to a different relationship now, but again that's down to the poster. I don't see the CSFB!-Epitome relationship changing at all. > > It's a shame that I don't trust this Harry fellow either (and I admit, I also wondered if he had a connection to Xander's familiar hamster).

> > Actually, I originally called the character Sam, then changed it so as not to conflict with Sam Wilson, Falcon. Now I'm thinking I should have made it Ben. > As in Ben the Bulbasaur (I forget if that was Exile or G-Eyed that had him, I think Exile. I believe Bry had a Squirtle). Sarah's dating a Pokemon?

Maybe Dave, then.

> I see you're intentionally going for a generic nice guy type of name with this guy...clearly he can't be trusted.

Not that the readers round here are paranoid or anything.

Mind you, the LL also make a few checks later in this chapter.

> > > I'm not sure if I'm comforted or not with Lisa as the new Destroyer...especially if her nigh-indestructible cat has gotten an upgrade. > > As Vizh says, the role traditionally goes to a villain. > Here's a thought; has Lisa then lost her summoning powers? I imagine she could still maintain them with her Destroyer power, which would trump her previous office. Are we going to be seeing a new keeper of the Booke of Law then?

The Booke of the Law and the office that goes with it were destroyed in UT#300. It would take the agreement of the Triumverate to reinstate it and the hundreds of other minor offices destroyed by the Parody Master - but there is not yet a consensus, with the Shaper refusing to approve such measures.

> > > Vizh really shouldn't complain about a Survival Harness. Bry probably would've killed for one of those after all the Pain Chair's he's been strapped into. > > On the other hand, he is being dangled as bait into the dreadful dimensions. > At least it's over quick...Bry was stuck under the Mansion for a long time.

I'm sure we could bury Vizh somewhere. In fact if I ever get to another UT arc that's pretty much the starting point of "The Da Visinary Code".

> > On the bright side, Hatty gets to meet a new archvillain quite soon. > My character may disagree with the "bright side" viewpoint.

Possibly. Let's see.

By the way, do you still want Zdenka around? Feel free to e-mail me if you'd prefer.
