> > I'm working to get them back there, but things might still be a little busy for a while, as previously discussed.
> Noted. I didn't mean it as an accusation, though, I just didn't want to add to confusion. Some of the facts presented in the new story could bleed through to stories that technically happened before otherwise.

Good thinking.

> > I'm also wondering whether it might be interesting to leave Anna in the Land that Time Forgot to have some solo adventures ("Last Hero" stuff) before sending her home via a roundabout route.
> If I have time to write something like that. If she's left behind, it would have to be perpetrated by Drury and/or Garrick, since I don't see the Lair Legion purposely leaving her there (for instance the return could require the Helicarrier, and Drury could refuse to bring Anna along, and the LL could choose to get her later when SPUD isn't interfering). And I can tell you, Yuki would be very unhappy about it.
> Of course that means she won't be stuck there for long. Yuki is pretty tireless about rescues.

Actually, given that Anna's thought processes and development don;t always follow human norms I was wondering whether Anna might elect to stay there for a few days.

Her logic might go like this: the heroes have just basically restructured the socio-political arrangment of the thirty-two worlds. Great powers have fallen (although not all minions would be accounted for). Now the heroes are moving on - but what do the people left behind have to face next? And who helps them?

Anna's still technically leading a bunch of pterodactyl-riding pirates who right now possess probably the best means of communication remaining in the stitch-lands. Who else could tie all those people into Yo's new alliance at Golgamoria?

And what adventures might be had on the way?

Return after is probably easy. When (if) Yo delivers everyone to their new destination Anna could hitch a lift. Of course, if the new destination turns out to be on the other side of the galaxy she might feasibly need to place a call to Lara.

> > > Especially for Anna. The interesting thing is, the more she becomes like a normal person, the harder it will become to have her eliminated.
> > And the less reason there will be.
> That all depends on government and SPUD politics. Anna still kind of is a weapon of mass destruction...in the possession of the Lair Legion.

I suspect Drury trusts the Legion more than he trusts Anna.

> > We might get to that eventually. *sigh*
> Oh I can cover that part, Mumph just has to be accessible first.

That's fine. I was sighing at the "eventually" part, not at having to do it.

> > > > I don't think we'll be seeing the LL rescue Liu Xi.
> > > Somebody has to...I think.
> > I think after this build-up it would be narratively more satisfying to see Liu Xi triumph over that situation herself.
> From earlier discussions, I thought she lacked the means to do so. Or to get home, at least - she can probably kick the Void Scholar off the mortal plane temporarily, but being stuck in the future is another matter.

She's certainly in a corner, but as we've noted she's not who she once was; and now she's got another resource to play off in Danny. Once the dominoes eventually start falling...

> And as I've always offered, if you need someone covering a few extra things so you can catch up on the main plot, email me.

I'll keep that in mind.
