Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Mawwage is what bwings us togethew today!

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Much. ;-)

It's still a little bouncy on corners. They did say it needs front suspension work at some point, but it'll be another big chunk o' cash. They said it wasn't too critical. I got scolded about the tie rod. Guess that's not something to live with...but I'd just had it looked at, so I didn't know! I'll be more careful in the future, I guess.

The battery is something I should probably take care of soon. He said it was a Mercury battery in there right now. Hard to believe the original could last ten years, but maybe they do? In any case, it's due for replacement!

Her...

Right now, she's in a place with no contact with anyone from her past life, so all she can do is worry and wonder about it. Pathetic, as I said.

The other main character knows a lot more about her past, but he's nowhere in the picture in her life right now, though he will be eventually. While her story is told from one point in time forward, his (for the first part of the story) starts from quite a way back, and the part where she comes in hasn't hit yet.

He's a lot more fun to write.

It could be kinda funny if people had all these weird reactions to her and she had no clue why.

Yeah...there will be a bit of that. ;-) For one thing, main guy is gonna wanna kill her slowly and painfully when they first meet up again.

She wasn't a very nice person before.

But I have to get through the interim before they meet up again, wherein *I* want to kill her slowly and painfully because she's so boring.

Hmmmm.....how about if her not so nice traits come out and she starts doing things...

She'll stop moping and move on soon enough. I'll make her.

I still have to figure out why no one killed her before now, though. She needed killing, and several people had the chance. And it was the bad guys who most wanted her dead, too. It doesn't make logical sense that they didn't off her.

I hate logic holes.

Heh...I'm ashamed to admit that I'm not sure what that means. Mean they're inept?

They can't be completely inept or the story doesn't work.

You've never seen the Pink Panther movies with Inspector Clouseau?

Hehehe....he was the kind of inept that drove his superior into a mental asylum, but he always got his man.

I'm thinking maybe someone will just have had a soft spot for her, though gosh knows she didn't deserve it. And smuggled her out of danger. Mostly.

She did make a deal to help them assassinate someone, and was supposed to get safe haven as a result...but what bothers me is that they continue with that deal after the amnesia. If she doesn't remember the deal, why do the bad guys bother with honoring it? On the other hand, after the amnesia she's not much of a danger to them, either...she doesn't remember any details of their plans. And because of the way she lost her memory (this is sci-fi stuff), she's not going to just remember it again later, so she's out of the picture.

Even so...why not kill her to be sure?

Hmmmm....maybe its something only she can do and if she's dead, so is their plan?

To: Overtaxed

I can't think of any reason why they'd need her after the assassination takes place.

I think it'll have to be just the respect of one evil character for another. *sigh* That doesn't seem like a good enough reason, but I guess it'll have to do.

You could do a Clouseau...two of the bad guys are dispatched to get rid of her and they end up whacking each other.

One of 'em has to transport her to the place where her memory gets messed up, or at least put her on a ship to get there...so I need one to not get whacked.
