Now that's funny, CSFB! being his own distraction while he goes and gets the artefact.
Quote: He didn't even use anything around him. He *was* the distraction.
He's the best there is at what he does.
Quote: I see your point though. I'm pretty easygoing about bad things happening to my characters - Liu Xi has been tortured several times already, and I've used it as an opportunity for her to grow. She starting to look up to stronger people and tried to be more like them so she doesn't have to suffer like she did again. Not everyone is so easygoing though, I'm sure there are writers here who specify everything must be reset at the end status-wise, or their hero/villain must always come out on top somehow.
Quote: Even I have a limit, of course. For instance I might object if the columniation of a long plot is the surprise permanent death of Liu Xi, or Lara being officially banished from the Parodyverse, or a more timely example, Killer Shrike's escape being made possibly by his murdering Yuki (which would admittedly provide a good story as the LL pursues, him, but would off one of my most interesting characters).
It's not always the major things that cause the problems. If a poster perceives that their character is not being represented well it can sometimes spoil their pleasure at playing in the Parodyverse. For example, long ago now one poster was offended, lost all interest in the PVB and never came back after their poster character was written as having sex with another poster character. Neither of the writers are around here now.
Quote: And also the big question remains - whether the entire scavenger hunt specified in the contract is a trick that will bring about something horrible. The choice for the Lair Legion being, when they find out what that is, whether to forfeit to save the world and give up the Ghost Taxi Co, or whether to take on whatever happens.
I've put the final part up now to answer your speculation.
Quote: I had a pretty bad week, that's why I'm a bit behind on The Spirit of De Soth.
