> > > So they're going to use Mr. Li to find the Lair Legion. Unfortunately finding them doesn't solve the problem of how to bring them back.
> > They're going to use Mr Li to try find the Lair Legion. Or at least their underwear.
> So they'll find almost 3/4 of the Lair Legion.

They'll find something interesting at least.

> > > Sorry I didn't write anything about Liu Xi yet - I misunderstood. I purposely left that out of my last post because I thought you wanted to do that. Sadly it might be a few days before I start writing again, as I've had a crisis of sorts I'll mention in a moment.
> > Well, I might drop you a scene I had in mind if you'd like something to build on, but it'll have to wait 24 hours or so.
> I'll say give it till Saturday. If I'm not well enough or organized enough to post something by then (or mention that I'm almost done with something), have at it.

After a rush to get reports done yesterday (and working through to 4am then starting again at 9am up to just finishing now an hour before deadline) I'm thinking sleep might be useful.

> > > Looks like Chiaki has things mostly under control. I'm not sure if that'll help the public courts decide not to indict her and sentence her to death, but maybe it'll impress Hatman. Maybe.
> > I wanted to show both her dedication to following through what she started and some of the less fortunate consequences.
> There may be many more consequences to come. Maybe.

I wonder if Lara will seek her out?

> > > If the portal of pretentiousness is back, and Amnesia is there too, I already can guess what the price will be. Prepare for the return of the Hooded Hood...and this time he's pissed!
> > If or when the Hood comes back, people will eventually have reason to know it.
> I have the distinct feeling the shattered Portal is the only reason why he hasn't.

He hasn't finished the Herringcarp horror series yet. That's the real reason.

> > > I hate to be the one to say it, but the New Lair Legion (not the Juniors, the other one) isn't terribly powerful.
> I think I short-changed the above sentence. In crime-fighting they don't seem to be terribly powerful. Probably because they lack the discipline and cohesiveness more than the raw power. If you try to kill a fly with a cannonball you'll probably miss. More on that in a moment.

The Purveyors' Legion has no intention of fighting any crime, although it's possible they may take down any criminal organisation that doesn't make its protection payments.

> > I think if you try to show Lara "punking" the Purveyors you might have some readership credibility issues. Better to put her up against one of the targets Lisa suggested where she can have a good tough fight without tripping up the main thrust of where our main plot is heading.
> I didn't mean Lara would try to fight the New Lair Legion, or come anywhere near them. She's well aware that it's best if they're barely aware of her presence.
> I meant that she would probably make the New Lair Legion look like chimps when it comes to crime fighting. She has the right balance of power, discipline, and experience, and obviously doesn't have the issues with infighting or posturing. It could be obnoxious though if the press takes note of her success and embarrasses the New Lair Legion and Beth Zemo (though Chiaki would be amused).

As we've seen, the Baroness can be adept at "spinning" things. What if she were to publicly invite Lara to join the team? "We've seen the good Ms Night can do in a small way, but the time for the enthusiastic amateur is over. We're pleased to offer Lara a place amongst the Lair Legion, where her power and passion can be properly attended to."
