As always, better read the issue before continuing.
Issue 6 wraps up the night of interviews. The issues are short in
part because this is an early writing attempt by me (summer 2000), and
in part because I was at work for most of the writing and had to do this
between calls (and sometimes during; still
solved the caller's problem). Nasty stormed home despite her mother using her full
first and middle names. Then, Nasty ran away from home. Sort of.
Along comes a info mini-dump. Basically, what Nasty knows, what
she can't figure out, what happened to her shoulder (I bet people were
wondering if I forgot about that). Nasty's going through a cultural
shift; her old school was up to deal with students
who pushed the boundaries. Seward goes for counselling instead; private
school, wouldn't really want to lose a source of income; at the same
time, the school has students there who want to learn. Maria might be
on to something.
Rennie's family is slightly complicated. Her parents are divorced
and have been for a while. Both have new spouses, though Rennie isn't
all that impressed, especially with Paula. Rennie and Nasty understand
each other, though. Nasty's best friend her
age.
And, at the end, Maria returns home finally. And, to show how
upset she is with her daughter, she unleashes the full name. No one
persists in their behaviour after their mother uses first, middle, and
last name. So, the lack of response is odd, to say
the least. And, well, Nasty picked up her language skills from someone.
Friday, look for Issue #7. Over at Fan To Pro, I'll have Lost in Translation 52 up Saturday morning, continuing the Avengers Adaptation series.
