XDD

Chaos makes a good point RE: schoolwork. (And Sortitus makes the same good point RE: WriMo.)

I wouldn't have objected to you sending it early (of course, I already HAVE it, so it's not like it matters to me) but Chaos makes a good point, I think.

Also: Good luck.

I shall cater to the whims of the masses. I shall wait.

But now it seems like a challenge to attempt to distract Chaos...

No, the only challenge is to keep myself on task :P It's not hard to get me distracted.

And yes, there is a slightly older version of the same scene. It's readable, I just want to spice it up a little bit. For example, one of my spicier additions is to make the torture just a tad more explicit...


wow your character is getting tortured in chapter one?? I pity him/her/it...

:D I would tell you more, but I find it far more fun to tease you all.

Hmm...I just realized you aren't nearly as cruel as I thought. Compared to me at least. After all, my main character dies in chapter 2.




What were you saying about teasing?

Wait... we have an undead mc?  This could get intresting.  Unless they stay dead, and which point I ask how can you have the mc die so soon and still be the mc?

Part of it has to do with misunderstandings the characters have about the world. Part of it has to do with the magic system.

lol he is not undead. That would be creepy.

If it isn't the shiny glint of a can of Dr. Pepper, I must pass :P

Oh, my main character isn't getting tortured. He is the torturer :D

I mean... "interrogater". Sort of.

Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Norwegian Blues stun easily, major.

Lovely plumage!
