> You have managed to think up some really nasty things to do to people, again.

I'm just exploring the natural consequences of the situation we've extrapolated.

> I agree with Danny's pull-the-Juniors-out-before-they-die tactic, they're no good dead. But I think they should be going out and doing stuff more. Many reasons for that. Of course if they do that it's possible yhat someone might work out a way to stop them from using their escape, but that's going to take some time since it's hardly the standard teleport they're using.

Danny has certainly acquired a major strategic advantage.

The one really obvious way I can think of someone doing it is picking Danny off early in the fight, which I'm sure the Purveyors will try next time, that could be got around by having Danny at the other end of the portal but then he'd not be able to join in the fight. How good is he at using his powers at range anyway? And could he use the Portal of Pretensiousness to improve on it?

See next time, when Danny cradles his fingertips together.

> There are a whole lot of quite nasty little plotlines you've got going on in the semi-background.

Most of them came from the tie-ins or from correspondence. I should have credited L!Q for the FMRC team, for example.

> The Carnifax was certainly brutal, but from the moment he made his go-away-or-I'll-kill-everyone threat it was pretty obvious that that's what was going to happen. The prophesy at the end was interesting though, and the prophetess killing herself to stop him keeping his word was tragic, and a bit impressive too.

But don't you think he was sporting to give them fair warning like that? He really didn't want to miss his TV programme.

> > Thanks to Rhiannon for the immensely evil plot assist; I’m so proud that she thought of something nastier to do to people than I had.
> I don't know whether to be pleased or to argue that I only had a little bit to do with it.

You managed to come up with the major plot driver of next episode. Well done.
