"So, let me guess... you got dressed up for your boyfriend?"

Ripp just looked at him for a moment, willing him to die.

"Fuck you."

"Nice comeback."

"I know the concept of friendship is pretty fucking new to you, Tank, but -"

"I just don't get

It's a concerned question, not a command. I think it would make more sense if I add more description, which I likely will if I use this. I could describe that he looks nervous, or even just show that with the image.

Some context would probably make it all make a bit more sense too. They never really say what they are talking about here, so it's probably confusing, as I now realize.

[strange_tomato]

I agree. I'm probably trying to squeeze in way too much for a mere 100 words, but I have been grappling with this scene, and I wanted to give it a try. To give this some context, they are going to be questioned by the military about the General's disappearance, and they suspect that the conversation will involve the Smith family in some way (which is also the reason that Ripp got dressed up in his Sunday best).

*snort* A fart in church. Yeah, I don't think that Ripp would dare to command Tank like that, even in his bolder moments. He'd know that it wouldn't get him anywhere, since Tank would probably react by doing the opposite.

Ooh, military inquisition. At least they'll know the military wasn't in on it, since they're asking.

(I really want more of your conspiracy. I'm really chewing on mine for the next Peculiar updates. . .and I do love a conspiracy.)

[strange_tomato]

Well, I can't imagine that Tank suspected that the military had anything to do with it, but they other two will probably be relieved.

My conspiracy is pretty simple, really (and probably not all that conspiracy-like). Not too much to get excited about. But there is something about it that will have a big impact a little further down the road.

[madame_ugly]

Even little conspiracys are good.

(big ones are a pain in the ass, I had to make a flow chart for mine)

[strange_tomato]

Wow. A flow chart. I'm impressed. (And I look forward to seeing how it all plays out.)

[madame_ugly]

Me too. This is where "write as you go" gets sticky.

[strange_tomato]

I feel your pain. I have a few corners to write myself out of too. Oh well. You may as well have fun with it!
