Hmm, yeah, that first thing is a very good point. As far as the court is concerned, she meant to do what she did – though the jury did conclude that she did not mean for it to be lethal, which it fortunately wasn’t – and so the sentence must be interpreted from that basis. […]
Ahh, I see. Yeah, I suppose leaving “Bad” in one’s stage name doesn’t look good in a trial, or in the media during an arrest scandal. Though I could see both the prosecution and the media discussing it anyway.
Another really cool piece of Inktober fanart by @apfii, this time for a similarly cool dude! It… kind of gives me a Peter Pan vibe, actually. I think it’s due to a combination of the pose and the facial features. Honestly, that’s kind of fitting for Newter’s character. Other than that, I really like the […]
(separate anons) Yeah, fair enough. Sharks also mentioned that first thing after my first response on this topic. Reminders in general are fine – might want to keep it a little vaguer, maybe (for example, pointing out the evidence instead of going directly to the conclusion), but in retrospect, this wasn’t really spoilery. That said, […]
Alright! I’m feeling a lot more awake today, so let’s dive into this ask pile!
Sharks returned to proper wi-fi last night, so I’ve received roughly a quarter ton of asks that have built up over the last few chapters. On top of this I’m rather sleepy right now (my sleep schedule is currently fucked), which could go either way by the time I sit down to blarg.
So I think what I’m going to do is have a dedicated ask answering session tonight, and postpone the chapter liveblog to tomorrow (Tuesday), at least unless I find myself finishing the asks early and not being all that sleepy anymore (which I doubt).
See ya then 🙂
Hm… no, I think I’m gonna have to postpone the ask session too. I’m just really not feeling up to it at the moment (see: fucked sleep schedule) – hopefully should be better tomorrow, though.
Sorry!

Tom is actually much more analogous to Draco Malfoy than bottle man is, by the way. Kid from supremacist family, tasked with proving himself by killing someone and trying to work up the courage to do so…
Bottle man, however, was the one who said “Kaiser will hear about this!”, though, so he’s the one who gets to be nicknamed after Malfoy. Them’s the breaks!
Bonding between Rachel and Taylor is kind of quiet and lowkey, but it’s still bonding. And this chapter had quite a bit of excellent Rachel-Taylor bonding. Taylor is beginning to understand Rachel better, and Rachel is beginning to respect Taylor more. It’s great on both ends. 🙂
And then there’s the encounter with Tom, Draco Bottlefoy and the other skinheads. Rachel showed her more level-headed side, which was cool, and then Taylor became a bug monster and scared the E88ers away, which was awesome.
…hm. We never did get an explanation for 83. Maybe it’s something one could look up, or maybe I’ll learn about it later in the story. We’ll see, I guess!
Next time, we’ll probably get to know what Brian has to say about what happened here, whether it’s through Taylor’s narration or actually getting to see the scene starting immediately after Taylor filled him in on what happened. Other than that, though, I have no idea what’s up next. The end of this chapter does seem like the end of Rachel-Taylor bonding time for now, though maybe I’m mistaken.
So… yeah. See you then!
I looked over my shoulder in the direction the skinheads had retreated.
“I’ll help,” I decided aloud. “I said I would, and you might need backup if they decide to come back in force.” Besides, I’d texted Brian to come, and he’d need a proper recap of what had gone on.
Yeah, better stick around.
She only whistled twice for her dogs to follow her back inside, glancing back to see they were still following. She looked at me, and I wasn’t entirely sure, but I thought maybe she didn’t look as angry as she usually did.
Development! 😀
