Hmm….what interesting things could happen after that? I mean, there's all sorts of floating buildings around, but writing "Nighthound and Koschei relived that one spinning-hotel scene from Inception" sounds more interesting in theory, I think.

Where did you come from, where did you go…. Is he going to tell the story of how he was chased by a murderous Fortuity, enraged because Chicago Joe was stealing all the ladies? I've got a much better manager now. And if there was one bright side to that job, it was that it was in a state with no server's wage and one of the highest minimum wages in the country, and for a company that did tipshare. So by the time I left, I had enough money to pay cash for a fairly nice car without taking out any loans. Still, glad I left before Calamity hit and decided, "Hey, that guy looks like he'd make a pretty good necromancer…."

The only manager who doesn't is the restaurant manager who threw temper tantrums, made me stand outside in −4 degree weather so I could get the door for people (he let me wear a coat, at least) and scheduled everyone to work on Christmas Eve so he could take the night off. And the only reason he doesn't look better by comparison is because I'm 99.99% sure that if he could have turned his employees into mindless slaves without fear of legal repercussions, he would have.

I knew there were bad leaders out there, but Lightwards really takes the cake. I mean, I've had managers who seemed to think their employees didn't need to sleep or eat, but Lightwards seems to actively deny this reality until it is literally staring him in the face, at which point he shoots the starving, sleep-deprived employee and sets him about his work again. Can Lightwards' new catchphrase be "Better Business Bureau, my butt!"?

Nighthound tossed the arm aside. Rather than completing its downward arc, it plummeted upwards and crashed back onto the floor, causing the woman to jump back with a yelp. Oh, please. It's a severed arm, not a snake. Koschei wanted to say that, but refrained. Were Calamityville truly as 'wonky' as Nighthound claimed, she would learn before long. “I don´t know about you but I was just teleported here, apparently by some chick called Möbius, so how about we go and make ourselves a new lady friend?” Koschei smiled. He liked this Nighthound, with his carefree humor and quick healing. An Epic with that ability would keep up with him, no doubt. "I am called Koschei. And yes, this Mobius sounds as though she would be quite the lady friend. This…." The woman spoke immediately. At least she recognized a prompt when she heard one. "Rebecca." "This Rebecca was just about to lead me to her. Unless you've heard of a more direct route?"

(I think it would be a marvelously karmic death for our resident Stalkerface McCreeperton.)

Make it so!

If Big Al dies we riot!

I've fallen behind on shipping. So today I was thinking about that, and I started wondering about crack pairings. Namely, what is the crackiest crack pairing this game has to offer? I'm not ready to declare a winner just yet, so here's the first runner-up.

I'm all for it.

From What Happened in The Dalles, page 3: Backtrack hugged his knees to his chest, rocking back and forth. "No more powers. No more looking at buildings. No more looking at—" "Hey, Backtrack! Did you know there used to be a swimming pool here? Pretty girls would come and hang out all the time." Backtrack began to cry.

Next Koschei flashback finished, by the way. I'll post when appropriate, and please give my apologies to Backtrack in advance.

I say yes. I also imagine he'd scare quite a few people in The Dalles, coming into town right after Koschei…and he probably received quite the beatdown from Vondra's men. I like him. Just terrifying enough to be quite the effective force.

I like those.

I'm taking online classes, and every week we have to read several articles and discuss them. This week's topic is on organizational change in the library setting. I have nothing to say about this. Nothing at all. I have no opinion. How am I supposed to discuss this when I have nothing to say?

Yep. That's fine.

And I imagine looking into Quicksilver's head will be a lot more enjoyable than looking into Koschei's.

"NO! There will be no bikinis in this car! The Dalles is a bikini-free zone!" "WHAT? NO!" *whimpers* "You monster….."

I was looking on the bright side. A very dim, very unlikely bright side, but a bright side. DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! You could write it from the perspective of the officer who thinks he's going to die because one of the twins accidentally showed him a little skin.

I will have her at the church to greet Backtrack and the twins.

Until, of course, he forgets that he can no longer resurrect, and someone shoots him in the back.

Funtimes with Lightwards' powers and vice versa.

Koschei and Slaughterhouse have the dubious honor of being two of the few people NOT better than Nighthound. He had no idea how close he was to the truth.

Quite a few of them were powerful Epics, actually. Her last boyfriend was a strength Epic who, like many of her previous boyfriends, agreed that they were dating because she was so darn useful. (The fact that she's cute didn't hurt, either. ) Nathan is her first vanilla boyfriend and oh my gosh that sounds like the worst boy band name ever I am never typing that again. But yeah. She's had a lot of boyfriends.

Umm….a few? I don't have an exact number yet, but she definitely has a liberal definition of "dating." As in, "You just smashed that office chair while I turned the desk to pudding so that means we're together now YAY!" "….Sure, babe. Always wanted a girl like you." Edit: No, I have no idea as to how I'm going to introduce Autumn.
