> Waitaminute... Danny Lyle and his sister? It's never simple with that Hood guy, is it?

Is he not... the Hooded Hood?

> And then there were those cryptic remarks to Amy as well, but then she has a convoluted history anyway.

No point tying up loose ends if you can't cast a few new threads as well; except this isn't exactly a new thread, just a more explicit illustration of something we've hinted at before. And after all, Amy has been retconned.

> All in all, an excellent job of tying this monstrous storyline up! I'll be happy to say goodbye to near omnipotent villains who can foist their will upon the very order of the universe for a while... those guys tire a hero out! And, well... leave a string of corpses behind them as well. Luckily, things seem to have reverted to better days, with a few changes here and there.

We need a different kind of threat next, certainly. I'm planning on my next major baddies being the Sturdy Strolling Beggarly Brotherhood.

> Not the least of which is the continuing existence of young Salieri... I'm curious to know exactly how he pulled that one off. He seems to have struck a deal with someone somehow to keep him and his mother from being killed in the Parody War. I wonder if that is going to come back to bite him. Or Sam, as I doubt the "never speaking again" thing will work out.

Salieri was kept alive thanks to the intervention of the Hooded Hood. So that's good news.

> I'm looking forward to seeing the ways people incorporate the fallout of this story into regular continuity. I see that many of the core players seem to recall their time under the Moderator... and I'm definitely glad to see a version of shrike's earlier resolution for Link, Simulacrum and Engineer made it in. I'm a bit concerned about Epitome's fate, however...

- I only counted 9,999 words. · Anime Jason · Sat Mar 08, 2008 at 04:39:53 pm EST
  - Then you miscounted by 38. · HH · Sat Mar 08, 2008 at 09:05:15 pm EST
    - I was never good at math. · Anime Jason · Sat Mar 08, 2008 at 10:04:14 pm EST

        It warrants repeating. Often. · Anime Jason · Sun Mar 09, 2008 at 11:42:09 am EDT
        
        Repeat away. · HH · Sun Mar 09, 2008 at 12:00:31 pm EDT
        
        It doesn't apply any longer. · Anime Jason · Sun Mar 09, 2008 at 12:27:31 pm EDT
        
        Maybe only 42.49% of the time. · HH · Mon Mar 10, 2008 at 04:25:14 pm EDT

- An impressive conclusion. Two questions: [Spoilers] · killer shrike · Sat Mar 08, 2008 at 03:59:22 pm EST
  - I'd just settle for "a conclusion". (no text) [Spoilers] · HH · Sat Mar 08, 2008 at 04:13:07 pm EST

        Probably because I haven't created umpteen characters like you. I double checked, it is Tricia. (no text) · Hatman · Sat Mar 08, 2008 at 10:47:50 pm EST
        
        Back to then edit function, then. (no text) · HH sighs · Sun Mar 09, 2008 at 07:36:52 am EDT
- A comprehensive conclusion. [Spoilers] · CrazySugarFreakBoy! · Sat Mar 08, 2008 at 03:21:24 pm EST

  - A likely story [Spoilers] · killer shrike · Sat Mar 08, 2008 at 04:02:00 pm EST
    - That's got to affect CSFB!'s response to his experiences though. (no text) [Spoilers] · HH · Sat Mar 08, 2008 at 04:14:05 pm EST
      - I don't think it has to. It all depends on how CSFB! wants to play it. [Spoilers] · killer shrike · Sat Mar 08, 2008 at 04:45:19 pm EST
        
        I think under the circumstances it would be unrealistic if it didn't at least cross his mind as a worry [Spoilers] · HH · Mon Mar 10, 2008 at 06:49:57 pm EDT
