"We've just been given crab monsters and a plot twist. Let's go home."
(Okay, the subject is a stolen Buffy game quote, but it fits in a weird non sequiturial sort of way.)
Right. I guess when you poke at a character enough, sometimes they eventually at least stand up and go, "Will you stop fucking poking at me, bitch?!"
Hi, Weylin. Nice to see you finally decided to join the party instead of sulking in your corner. Thanks for letting me know what's going on in your head. It's useful for things like, oh, figuring out what you're going to do next.
And the plot twist? Well, let's just say that was the result of Weylin reaching up and rearranging my world view--not to mention my outline. I find this immensely ironic, considering the comment I made just this morning in
Times like this are when I love being a writer. It's kinda like that moment in every Frankenstein movie you've ever seen, when the voltage shoots through the reassembled corpse and the doctor shrieks, "It's aliiiiiiive, it's aliiiiiiiive!"
Edited to add: Wow, now that I know what he's up to, Weylin's a clever little bastard. He might give Jack a run for his money in the cleverness department.
