LOL, I actually think that the most "intense" moments were actually some of the funniest in the story. Katie and I went through and annotated the chapter with a few...comments of our own. It vastly improves the reading experience ;)

For example:

DJ: Unlike your version of the suit, which is only good for simple firepower, my version has built-in performance enhancers.
MARA: Dirty thoughts
KATIE: So many dirty thoughts

or

DJ: Like I said before, I know you, Vortex.
MARA: Biblically!

or

AURORA: Screw you !
MARA: I knew you'd come to see it my way eventually...

or

AURORA: Now they treat me like a disease, like you've infected me somehow ...
MARA: It's Syphilis.

or

DICTATOR: You see, I have a new toy…
MARA: And it vibrates!

or

AURORA: Get off get off get off GET OFF!
KATIE: Oh, trust, me he is.

And so on. You get the idea ;)

I love you guys!

I actually was thinking that during her "Screw you" or "Screw it!" remarks. But not really at the others.

LOL "Biblically" Well, of course!

P.S. I'd love to read TOSOT (especially the Aurora/DJ scenes) with you and Katie over the phone sometime. I have a feeling you'd have me in tears from laughter.

Is it even possible for a human soul to really NOT like DJ? I mean, in all honesty, is it?

I don't think it's really possible for anyone to dislike Aurora, either. I mean, you gotta admire her guts. She's so damn flawed, but MAN, you feel for her anyway.

Also
FUTURE SHEEN: Well guess what, asshole? I’m out now, and it’s buttrape payback time.

Oh, and a repeated joke about Aurora tearing the wall a new one.

Oh yeah, I've always loved and felt for her character. Probably in this installment most of all, but we'll have to see. Could it really get any deeper?

I hope that you and Katie make a commentary when they make this into a movie. I would watch that version more than I would any other.

I had similar thoughts while I was reading, but my mind is a dirty place to live sometimes.

In the next chapter (which I've already mostly written), she really shows her inner strength. I'm like...proud of her, in some weird way **sniffle**

Also related to character development, when I was writing this chapter, I realized that Future Sheen secretly resents FL. We'll see how that one plays out... ;)

I love you guys!

Well, I wanted her to say "f*ck you", but I already promised the censors Emily young children potentially reading this that I would not include the dreaded f word.

OMG WHAT DOES SHE ASK!? I must know!

Epic fight is epic. Not much more I can add than that, cause other people have said it better. I was imagining the whole thing in my head and it felt right to me, action-wise. And OMG when is DJ gonna find out about the kids?! I've been waiting for his reaction for FOREVER!

LOL, FL hit him over the head! Epic. I've always liked FL, but that made her more badass in my mind.

Am I the only one who's like "Aw! Poor Future Goddard!" it's bad enough that in the show's 'bad future' his in a constant state of disrepair, but in this one he's stuck in the core of the base, bored out of his titanium skull!

WHOO-HOO!! On BOTH remarks! But, obviously on the second one the most!

*shot 10,000,000 times by the FL fans/fanboys* I'm a cruel, sick person, aren't I? In a way I sorta don't want FS to hurt her, though, because part of what I love and admire about him is how he can unconditonally love and have compassion for...THAT. That creep and skank! lol. So yeah, I think he'd hurt a lot emotionally if he did kill her, so I don't want that on him...or anybody.

As I just said to Pedro, I love DJ! Amazing character! I was about to say, "Who writes this stuff?", but then I remembered, "Oh yeah. I'm friends with them." LOL.

Ya, poor Goddard. Always getting shafted by the future ;)


THAT. That creep and skank!

OMG you are so awful! lol. I mean, sure, she has some questionable fashion choices, but creep? Hardly. I can think of so many other characters in the story that would better qualify for that term. At the worst, I'd say she's damagingly naive and a bit self-deluding...but hell, that's nothing compared to the depraved lunatics who people the pages of TOSOT.

Was it just me, or was the dialogue from Chapter 39 the same dialogue from when Mara and Katie had that roleplaying arguement a really long while back? Anyone even know what I'm talking about?


Those two chapters were amazing. So much tension and anger and whatnot-I loved it. And I think the fight scenes were perfectly written. But ahhh! Cliffhanger! I guess I'll just have to anxiously wait.

I'll do you one better!

Katie and I will dress up as DJ and Aurora and take a couple of swings at each other. Good times for everyone, I promise :P

Ya, there was one page in there that was almost entirely Katie-Mara word sparring from the roleplay topic. I discarded a lot of what we argued about, though, because it wasn't relevant to the chapter, and wrote new dialogue for the rest.

A bit of both. He's sure to be a true pervert deep down, but probably doesn't even know it. Some lines and physical moves were deep. I had some interesting opinions during it, though I don't know if I'd explain them well enough here. Ya know, in a way that would make sense.

Awesome! 'Cause when I was reading it, some of it seemed so familiar. And then I read the part about how we was experimenting with her or something like that, and instantly remembered how I had laughed at that reading it the first time because it sounded so perverted to me.


Oh, and yes. I do think DJ is a perv. But he was also trying to antagonize Aurora.
He's just an antagonizing pervert.

LOL, that's not my favorite line from the chapter (that distinction goes to DJ's epic "I've always been a firm believer in the merits of delegation"), but that's definitely up there.
