Also a good call to have it call back to the LARP, mentioned earlier. I hope things won't QUITE go as Ione expects, so that she can show off her improvisation skills again too.<br /><br />Karen is a bit more of a problem. While it makes sense that she'd want a drink, not only because of the supernatural but also over feeling duped by Ben, for me it makes her come across as a liability. She starts by thinking there's a plan, and gives Ione a basic idea (which was good, and it does make more sense for it to be her than Mara). Then she drinks, says she wants to come along, talks about getting more drunk, insists on coming even though she doesn't like the transportation, and then could easily be spotted by Gemma who could think everything's a setup. I mean, wouldn't waiting for Ben make more sense? Ione is stepping up, Karen's still getting pulled around by the plot.<br /><br />Anyway. Nice that you found inspiration in geography, pretty sure that wouldn't have worked for me, so you never know. things do feel like they're being set up, which I feel is better than fast forwarding.GregThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17689711881670288362noreply@blogger.com
