Your Vortex is so complex, for a crazy bastard. Which is exactly how crazy bastards should be. I like villains/anti-heroes/bad guys to have depth, and this is good and deep and pretty much just awesome.

And I don't really know what I want to say about First Aid, because holy bejeebus. Wow. I don't even know; shooting at Vortex? Or is he? Because I see that convenient cliffhanger, and I am suspicious of it >:/

So yeah, good work; I'm on the edge of my seat here for more (and apologies for not commenting on the last chapter, since I was giving blood to SAVE LIVES, or something - it was awesome too :P).

[ultharkitty]

Yay! Thankyou :D It's so good to read that his characterisation is coming across like that. I also love bad guys to be complex and have depth, and I wanted him to be the kind of bad guy I like reading about :P

Admission time - I don't usually like ending chapters on cliffhangers, but this one was getting long, and it seemed like a convenient place for a scene break. *shakes head at self* *has a lot to learn about structuring long stories*

(I love your suspicion about the cliffhanger :P *glomps*)

Giving blood is important, and awesome :D (over here we get biscuits after, and stickers, which always amuses me :P OK, I'm nosy now, do you get biscuits for donating?) (glad you liked the last chapter too!)

[mjfastlane]

He is most definitely very, very interesting, so no need to worry on that front :)

And sometimes cliffhangers are necessary. I don't mind them too much so long as they're not used every single chapter :D So I think I can forgive you one cliffhanger.

What can I say; I'm a cynic at heart. Suspicious cliffhanger is suspicious B|

We get stickers if we're first-time donors (which I was) and they make us eat chocolates and crackers after, as well as drink little poppers of juice :D Yay for giving blood!

[ultharkitty]

You get juice! And chocolates? Damn. We get tea (which I don't like) or squash (which I don't drink unless it's sugar free, yeah I'm awkward!). But we do get custard cream biccies, and that's really nice :D

Aaaanyway, I'd by cynical too. After all, it's First Aid :P (even though this is set waaaaaay before the Swindle incident).

I'm now going to check I don't have any other cliffhangers. I don't think I do... :P

[mjfastlane]

Keep in mind that we're uni students giving blood at the blood bus :P They need to encourage us to show up somehow.

Is that an oblique hint that all is not as it seems? ;)

[ultharkitty]

Ah! I usually donate at uni as well, and still no choccies and juice. Although this is a great excuse to bring my own...

*attempts to look innocent*
