It comes up in ...Would you believe public transit? It comes up in a later issue. It's a detail I should have had nailed down.<br /><br />She is. Rusty takes self-assuredness to a new level. She's the contrast for Nasty. I foible in my writing - I need multiple characters so that they can play off each other; Nasty is full of doubt, Rusty shows someone at ease with herself, Maria is an older version who went down a different path, Eric is a love interest who seems more at ease with school than Nasty, and so on. I tend to use ensemble casts, even when I have a solo title. Micki is doing due diligence. Oddly, Micki wasn't supposed to become supporting cast. She just happened to be the right person at the right time when I needed her.Scott Delahunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735796666483741699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464382918796251124.post-67458876177811902772013-08-21T18:22:51.745-04:002013-08-21T18:22:51.745-04:00Uh. How was Nasty planning on getting to the Found...Uh. How was Nasty planning on getting to the Foundation? Anne apparently wasn't coming to pick her up. Cab ride? Because even if Nasty and Rusty usually drive together, being dropped off at "work" seemingly wasn't set up in advance - it caught Anne by surprise.<br /><br />Rusty also seems very forward, I don't know many high school students who would just walk into the place of employment for the mother of a person they just met. She does seem to have a thing though? In other news, I think the skirt thing finally worked here as a self aware gag rather than a divergence (though why did she 'adjust' it to fold back over?), the "I don't fit in" thing is finally addressed, and THANK GOD someone at the Foundation is doing research.Gregory Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547180132612659893noreply@blogger.com
