I can't help it. My mind automatically thinks that way these days... Besides, Mara, didn't you promise us a while back that FJ would eventually tell her how to do that??

From volume 3, and I quote:
LIBBY: Speakin’ of stange universes…Aurora…did you say that suit is ingrained into your skin? You mean, ya can’t take it off?
AURORA: Well, the blue fabric is retractable, so I can wear other outfits over it, but the silver neural relays are imbedded in my skin. I don’t know how to get them out. I mean, I’m sure there’s a way, but I didn’t build the thing, so you can’t expect me to know what it is. And it’s not exactly like I can just phone up Jimmy and be like, “Hey Jim! So, you remember that suit I stole from you? How do you get the thing off anyway?” I guess being stuck like this is the price I pay for its power. It’s not too bad when you think about it.
APRIL: Perhaps next time you see him you can ask him to take it off?
AURORA: (glaring) April, are you really that clueless or are you just trying to tick me off?
SHEEN: Bwahahahahahahaha!
CARL: I don’t get it…


So the insinuation here was obviously a sexual one. :rolleyes: Sheen got it (maybe? he could just be having a spaz attack), April and Carl didn't. This is really the only instance where the suit problem is mentioned in the story, and I never made any promises that it would be resolved.
Some questions raised in TOSOT will never be explicitly addressed (although if you've seen my "Aurora Age Meme", you could postulate in good confidence that by age 25 she figured something out) ;)


~*Mara*~ = ^.^ =
P.S. Issues that aren't resolved in story can be directed to me as questions after TOSOT is done, and I will give you the "word of God" answer.

Yesh, I have seen the meme. So, the conclusion that I'm drawing is that it takes her 4 YEARS to figure something out about it?!! Dang!!

Edit: I'm also DYIN'(not really...) to see that swimsuit pic you made of Aurora, April, and FL you made a while back!! lol Dunno where to find it! :grr:

Got the beta-read back from Katie...it is, as I feared, a bit OOC and in need of revision.

I give it another week before I'm finished :(

Well, I uploaded the first 4 or so pages of Chapter 43...I wanted to post more, but this week is gonna be crazy, so I figured it's better to put a bit up now in case I don't get a chance to later.

Read: Chapter 43: We're Not Under the Same Sky

That's cause I didn't post the 7 pages of OOC-ness that follow these 4 pages >.< I'm still working on that.

I'm glad you did. I'm with Future Libby on this one: Aurora's hair is too pretty to cut off- plus she did manage to go through her life avoiding the Gorlocks from cutting it off.
