That always ends well. Ah well... At least Vizh had a good run.




Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar though. Especially when the two keys are right next to each other on the keyboard. I'm used to auto-correct playing havoc with much of what I type these days. My tablet has taken to stubbornly replacing perfectly good words on the assumption that I really want to type something else.




That's the stuff I come here for, honestly. Although I recognize that without some plot to drive the whole thing forward, there's far less for the characters to sit around and discuss. Regardless, I feel the real benefit of works like we see in the PV is that we can take the time to expand on these in-betweeen moments and really let the characters deal with things, rather than wrap it all up and save the fallout for the huge sequel event.




I stumbled across that St. Patrick's Day story from a few years ago, featuring the Juniors and others in a college bar that I started and a few others contributed to... It was a fun dynamic there too.

But yes, I know at one point I had planned for Maggie and Griff to attend a school adjacent to that other town the Lighthouse hangs out in (the name escapes me right now), and their presence would draw out some more magically inclined trouble while dealing with the usual High School hassles and allow Maggie to show the social interactions that would see her come into her own as a leader fit to become a Fairy Queene someday. In the years since, I've pretty much seen that story told, so the impulse to do it myself is quite lessened.

I may have to write some story about them though... or at the very least, finish that Great North Star thing. I found my notes on it. Don't quite understand them all any longer though.




It says something about Vizh's life that neither he nor I even question that kind of thing any longer.




I'm sure I could use a reminder myself. As of the last I can recall, they are officially dating and I'm assuming exclusive. It's a rather chaste relationship, as Hallie can't really be touched... Her force-fields have a numbing affect with prolonged contact and probably aren't particularly healthy, so not a lot of cuddling time is had. I don't think they get a lot of privacy anyway.




It should be an interesting experience... You have to make me feel yet worse for poor Lisette, huh? Of course, if being mean to her somehow did summon Dancer back, I suppose I wouldn't complain.
