It was a (fairly) dark...etc (Discussion)
Mod
That being said, is anyone else now reminded of the end of Breakfast of Champions?
(Side note: Google predictive text suggested Breakfast of Champagne. I'm down with that.)
Hmm, maybe. Read BofChamp so long ago, only remember that I read it. Just consulted Wikipedia plot synopsis. If my subconscious is going to crib ideas from other books it would be nice to know when it happens.
Mod
But not to worry, I was just referring to the character becoming self aware.
I really hope your still on Hákon. My question was... crap I've forgotten. It was definitely something about the Baroness.
But if we all lived in the same time zone it would be very very crowded.
Breakfast of Champagne, now that must have been about a different Kilgore Trout. :-)

Nah, we just need to do as China does and have one discombobulating time zone.
I was wondering if this was a good place to start the next chapter?

Have at it dude!
Ha! I love it that Luka is trying to keep an author away from the tools of authoring!
Mod
For future reference, I would like to be the brooding monster next time.By the way, Christina, this is as (in)appropriate a time as any to say that I so love your GR profile picture - always makes me think I have happened upon a hitherto unknown Ramone.
Just so everyone knows I wasn't watching the Wizard of Oz when I posted that. I was actually watching Cowboys and Aliens.

No way Sue...I will NOT give up brooding monster status :)

Perhaps we can form an alliance?
I don't know what anyone from outside this group that read this story would think about it, but I'm having so much fun with it even if the narrator calls me occasionally a malignant spirit. :-D
Hákon you're not alone. I think this other detective is the same detective the Baroness hired before Luka. And who wants to bet these hallucinations have something to do with whatever happened to him.
I think he could be, but I suppose that is up to the next writer. :-)
Yeah, you're right about that. I guess I'm just kind of hoping it goes that way.
I'm kind of hoping that too, but it will be fun to see what twist this story will take next.
Mod
Do something mundane like gardening. I find that always helps me.
If you want. I wasn't trying to make that sound like a command.
Mod
It's more that I've got too much going on at once. I usually read or paint when I'm working through something. I think reading and copious amounts of coffee are on the agenda tonight. :)

Very devious...hmm, but what's in it for me? After all, you're just an "evil spirit" whereas I'm a "brooding monster" Maybe, just maybe, I'd consider an alliance if you'd consider (view spoiler) those "angelic entities" Amanda & Richard, then I could write the story the way it should be written...with me as the Hero! ahahahahahahah!!!!!

Methinks the entities are not quite so angelic as to avoid reading the spoiler... But sure, I'd be up for that. Keeping in mind that the next author just goes in and untwists/obliterates the plot twists of the last, anyway.
However, I will not grovel for an alliance. Evil spirits must maintain their self-respect.
Thanks Christina.Turhan I can totally see that spoiler. I think that will make it hard for you to imprison me. Now I'll be on the lookout.

christina you are most likely an LED not a halogen. all I am traveling this week and so please save some plot holes for me.
Mod
Actually LEDs have a remarkable intensity. Call them subtly brilliant. While halogens are overheated fire hazards (sounds more like chick lit to me).

Awesome! You can have all the zany plot holes you can handle...
Mod
Okay, I'll leave the detective fiction to the experts.

That's good one. :-D
I keep my smoke detector on my bookshelf. I definitely want to know when there's a fire so I can save all the books.

K, I'm ready for another fix of "It was a (fairly) dark n storm.... where are you Sue? there are a lot of plot holes to fill in :)
Luka is in quite a sticky situation there. :-)
Hákon wrote: "Luka is in quite a sticky situation there. :-)"Yes! But I like anything lime, so I'm living vicariously through his stickiness :)
Mod
That's what I was thinking when I wrote it. I said to myself 'What strange thing do you think would be fun to sleep on?' Although I believe coffee Jell-O is much stranger than waking up on a bed of lime Jell-O.
I hope I didn't mess up the story with that last bit I added.

gotta luv that!
