three bags full (2/2)
AND DONE \o/ Final wordcount: 13,846. Somebody had better validate the bloody mess this has made of my priorities in the last few weeks, or there will be TEARS and possibly WRATH.
I'm still not quite happy with it as a story -- the showing dips too far into telling in parts, because if I'm entirely honest it's the skeleton of something even longer ( Read more... )

FAHYE, IT IS AT TIMES LIKE THIS WHEN I WISH THE INTERNET OFFERED FULL NAMES, SO I COULD SHOUT THIS ONE AT YOU.
OH. MY. GOD.
OKAY FIRST MY TWO FAVORITE LINES BESIDES THE SHOCKING CAMEO OF EITHER MAI LINH OR NAHIA DOING HER BEST IMPRESSION OF MAI LINH AT THE END, I'M GUESSING THE FIRST, BUT ANYWAY"You don't understand." The boy clutches his bag -- leather, looks like it costs twice as much as Tee's entire outfit -- tighter to his chest and tries to look earnest; he hasn't the face for it. "We have recognised our pampered existence and chosen to move against it. We have renounced the Pipe. We wish to make a stand against the terrible polarisation of wealth and the social inequality that defines our country in such an unfortunate way ( ... )

- cameo at the end = definitely Mai Linh! and Mai Linh was ALSO in part one, if you know where to look
- Tee and Pru?? Is that what you meant to type? *does not compute*
I WILL EMAIL YOU BACK. WITH WORDS.

Er I did mean to type it, horrific though it is, because she is -- good to him and it is adorable. I KNOW, DON'T HATE ME.

Of course eyai can learn of their own accord -- Tee's read all of Olivier Lenoir's papers and the whole country's seen the proof of it ( ... )

I am so, so pleased at the way this fleshes out the world and the bits and bobs it adds and THE ENSEMBLE IS STILL MY FAVORITE PART. Because YAY TEAMS YAY. I could read more about Blacksheep FOREVER. I also love all the cameos. TEE'S THOUGHTS CONCERNING OLIVER WOLF ARE A+++++++.
I may wander back later with quotes for you. ♥ Because I want to read it again for any nuances I missed.
(TEE AND HIS CODER BRAIN PROCESSING THE REVOLUTION-----!)

<333333 The solution to wanting to read more Blacksheep is to WRITE DRABBLES ABOUT THEM. Clearly.

Dom straightens the hat, gathers his cane, Wildes his way out the door.
When you think about it this obsession with a society without technology seems almost inevitable: the more advanced the science, the more invisible, until some threshold was surpassed and the human race found itself in the realm of nostalgia and clockwork and the blindsight of privilege.
"An eyai owns itself," Tee thinks aloud. "An eyai, by extension, owns its code."
"Does an eyai own money?" Steph asks, and then answers herself: "I suppose it's only a matter of time."
For every want, something can be provided. Freedom for all, including the market.

If Dom ever met Wolf there would be a fashion-off. It would be epic.
