Thanks. You didn't look too shabby yerself.
;-)
Way to go, that is great news. Congrats. OB & LSA
Well, was the car better?
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!
Heh....maybe everybody remembers hs past life except him.
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.
Bad guy Clouseaus?
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.
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?
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.
