Re: Tomorrow's Doom ~ Up: 7/22/13 ~ C.39 - The Loneliest Num

>Ah, love; for some it's quiet fawning and horseplay, for others it's idle threats and violence... The Lonely Island song is more relevant here. First, I'm not sure what reference you might be talking about. Second, I don't think The Lonely Island had released an album by 2007, so why would Aiko be...

Re: Tomorrow's Doom ~ Up: 7/22/13 ~ C.39 - The Loneliest Num

Please excuse me while I dance around the room chanting "Tomorrow's Doom is back!" Edit: it helps when the room is not an airport lobby. Honestly, chanting that in an airport probably wouldn't make you seem any more strange than the other crazies waiting in the terminal. my laptop needed about a mi...

Re: Tomorrow's Doom ~ Up: 7/22/13 ~ C.39 - The Loneliest Num

And so ends the longest-seeming month and a half ever. My apologies--the delay was never intended. The dialogue is awesome, as always. Somehow you squeeze meaning out of the most mundane situations. If I couldn't get something out of mundane situations, I don't think I'd be writing a slice-of-life ...

Re: Tomorrow's Doom ~ Up: 7/22/13 ~ C.39 - The Loneliest Num

A metric ton of measurement miasma. Personally, I'd write everything in imperial measures if I could. The only reason I've bothered even trying to use metric measurements--which have not always been particularly accurate, mostly because I have no concept, spatially, of their values--is that it's th...

A few thousand words of people packing their bags? Looks like Helbereth is back ;-) Would you rather I just sit them around a picnic table for these existential discussions? Looking forward to see more Yoko. As am I, really. It's kind of sad I had to eliminate almost the entire cast to get to her, ...

Re: Tomorrow's Doom ~ Up: 7/22/13 ~ C.39 - The Loneliest Num

"Conversation" ends a sentence. Also, "...and wait" isn't "[flopped]", it's "said, as [she flops]". Okay the fist part I understand... but, what's this flopping business about? Well that was a short mystery. It's one of those "well that's odd... oh wait, right; that's probably it." moments. One big...

Four hours later, I wake with cran-grape juice in my veins, and nothing but determination drivin...

Re: Mean Time to Breakdown — (Iwanako, Divergence) {u 7/19/2

Only thing it takes is watching one foreign spy thriller... Perhaps it's all those American movies she watched? Hey, good catch.

Re: Mean Time to Breakdown — (Iwanako, Divergence) {u 7/19/2

Does this mean Iwanako's condition will be more publicly scrutinized than Hisao's ever was? Well, following this incident, they'll probably skip "scrutiny" and go straight to "public knowledge" I'll throw my two cents in and say Mirage probably has a point here. The scene where Hisao gets gored by ...

Re: Mean Time to Breakdown — (Iwanako, Divergence) {u 7/19/2

Though the conversation peters out after that, I spent the next few minutes silently basking in my success as Hanako quietly goes over her notes from the previous class. You either need 'petered' or 'spend' rather than the versions presented. Otherwise there's a tense issue with this sentence. Befo...
