  • Used up your quota of words and sensible responses for the day, I see. Well, let's just carry on with the spin-offs, and give ATEE a break for the time being. We'll get back on it some time later; at the very least, it'll give me a chance to clear things up in my mind in terms of plots not only for Rusinka, but for all the subsequent ATEEs that require them (that is to say, all remaining Triton ATEEs, half of PiC, TSoD and Unbreakable, as well as preliminary plans for series 2). Consider it a 'cooldown period' for my brain.
    A little. But we need some sort of answer.

    But here's a thought: until we can come up with a final decision, ATEE can be put on hold, since we're not stuck mid-episode, so we could at least fill this time with one or two (or all) of the spin-offs. Time economy. You know it makes sense.
    I'm not saying you're wrong to think that, but I do wonder why you care so much about the order. I was half-under the impression that the running order had been provisional anyway.
    True though that is, what we know now, even with embellishments, could only reasonably get us through about one-third of the story. PiC, at the very least, could make it halfway or further before I'd have to pause for thought, and at that point, one could just apply the logic of the Archimedean Tortoise, so it's less of an issue. You're very much in favour of the order as it stands, though, AMIRITE?
    The basis so far was one of two things: either she was to be returned to a rendezvous point with her fellow Russian royals, but does not trust any mode of transport, so demands being accompanied, or simply as part of a royal visit to Blazia. Either way, Team Triton, owing to Cal's membership thereof, are the chosen party to be her bodyguards. But there's quite a lot more to the ATEE than that.
    -I respect that I should have told you sooner- it's just that I had expected TLD to last at least a few posts more, so we could talk this through as it ended, but that didn't happen- which is fine.
    -I can appreciate that. It's no easier for me, either. On the plus side, though, given the nature of the ATEE series, I'm only swapping Triton ATEEs around, and you've only swapped Gemini ATEEs around. Add that to the fact that the series always alternates between universes for each episode, and I don't think a MT/TTS incident could possibly happen unless one of us felt very strongly about the positioning of an ATEE set in the other's universe.

    So what's the verdict?
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only reason why you gave a damn about Rusinka in the first place was because Daz and Fiona appear in it. So why the sudden reluctance? I'm all ears. Maybe you can convince me to stick with the current running order.

    And that's a Craig Maybe, meaning maybe- not a McIntosh Maybe, which means HA FAT CHANCE.
    Actually, I'm having second thoughts about placing Russian Girl here. I need more time to think the plot through (and we know what happens when we don't think plots through thoroughly-- *coughCHcoughTLDcough*). May I propose PiC instead? I've made far more progress on planning that, and it'd be a waste to save it until last when the others need more time to brew, as it were. Objections?
    I'll think about it, and I might get it done at the weekend. No sooner, though, because I've got work to do tomorrow. True, I consider the entire TEE stuff- main series, spin-offs, wiki upkeep and all- my job, but my father has actually gotten me work that pays. And I'll be working with a fat Polish guy. Bonus! So, as far as I'm aware, I'll be working tomorrow, and the day after, and I think Monday next week (definitely for three days, but which days they are are subject to change). And my father's boss decided that I'm to be paid £10 an hour, for 8 hours of work, on 3 days (making for a grand total of £240, which is more money than I've ever had at once in my life before). And what makes it especially good, is minimum wage for a 15-year-old in the UK is about £2. I'm getting 5x minimum wage. Awesome.

    TRUE DAT.
    Do you really think I should? I'm still in two minds about the whole thing. But then again, if I get both ears pierced, as I plan to, then make a point of wearing earrings in both ears equally, perhaps my parents will just get the subtle message instead of me having to come out proper. But according to my mother, who had a re-piercing yesterday (which is what got me thinking about it) said that it doesn't hurt at all; it just feels like a metal rod passing through your earlobe. Food for the mind, certainly.

    No references to Bob, though.
    I'm not sure what the alternative to that would be- yes, just a pair of earrings, but I'd have more than just a single pair in my possession. Maybe I'd just the one earring at a time, depending on my mood. I don't know. All hypothetical.

    (Also, I've been watching Chuggaaconroy's Pikmin LP. Why did you/we not make reference to his Running Gag of the Pikmin Bum-Rush in TTS?)
    GEPWNT. #obscuregermangrammarjoke

    And what can I do to continue TLD from here?

    If I may, can I prod your face in the hopes of gaining some wisdom? I'm considering getting one or both of my ears pierced, but I'm not 100% sure either way. Advice, or anything?
    Um...This. This is my best response. And he's statistically the most shippable character. I can't help it if, out of all of his potential ships, only two of them are girls, and the way TL is being neglected, one of those might never even be referenced. Yes. That's what I'm turning this discussion into.

    :-D

    I should go now, though. It's uncannily hot here in the UK, and it's nearly 2.30AM.
    Um...Is it messed up if I say I would?

    OH OKAYZ.

    ...Wow, that VM is going to look so flattering on the Activity Stream...
    Fair enough.

    Of course, he'd get a proper chance to shine in situations that do zig-zag his trope if you just stopped neglecting IYF and TEM (and TL, though that doesn't contribute to the point I'm making). Could you not, at the very least, simply post in each of them once a day? At least, that way, some progress will be made...

    ...and I swear that 'zig-zagging his trope' is not a euphemism.
    But is he a counter-example? Because he does Play the trope Straight from time to time, especially in the spin-offs.
    Does that trope count as Played With when it comes to Midnight? You know, since he's only a threat sometimes, but he has red eyes all the time?
