Lisa!

[miatauro]

Okay, so I have Lisa's second journal entry, please find it here. I really do have an explanation for having people communicate with her via comments, should anybody actually do it. Sarkat pointed out that, if I don't want people breaking the fourth wall, I should give them somewhere where they can, so I'll be making parallel posts to my LJ, if I

1) As I said on AIM, I am terribly amused my Linli's unspaced dialogue.
Linli is fun to write with. She's so... vivid.
Which reminds me that the last thing I was working on ends with a note saying "Enter: Linli" (not, to my knowledge, pursued by a bear.) I should get back to that.
Don't worry, Cheryl. I will put Linli back where I found her when I'm done!

2)Do you have any thoughts on what is up with Coma!Kye that you want to share with me or is figuring in that out my job?
Evil poisoning from getting too close to the Imprisoned One while being a Paladin, perhaps?

3) Speaking of which, this really seems like it calls for a Vanyel scene between Coma!Kye and Tyr before Kye wakes up... Hmm.

4) Cavern system. Ok. That answers that question. I guess Kye will need something else to stare out in the scene I was working in. Pity. I was rather fond of my tangent on small windows, barred as though the Yellows were afraid that their patients might try to escape through them:p

5) Is this what you were working on the other day on the train that you were complaining about being interrupted during?

6) In less immediately related thoughts, Ahrain and Reynard's children need names. Shannon? Collin? Ideas?

2) I dunno. I tossed that in there because it seemed interesting to me that Lisa would be able to still feel him even in the deepest coma, and because it's cool and ominous while still being ambiguous enough that there are a lot of directions I could go with it later without having to think too much about it now. We could/should discuss!

3) A what, now?

4) Yup, a system of caverns. I'm not sure where, geographically. Unfortunately, since Lisa is so interested in maps, she's obligating me to generate some. You wouldn't happen to know of software that lets you take an existing map and do an arbitrary geological transform on it, would you?
We can still use that! Sooner or later, they're going to return to the White Tower (I've already written the scene where Elizabeth asks Lisa to leave. It was interesting writing a scene where Lisa doesn't have the upper hand in dialogue.) and I'm sure the yellow ajah will be mighty interested in what's going on, particularly if Kye's got evil-poisoning.

5) Yes.

6) Good point!

2) We should discuss. IM me sometime when you aren't trying to work. Or at least have time to chat.

3) Are near-death conversation with a god (or Death, in Vanyel's case) involving a choice between death and peace or life and more work. Per... Magic's Pawn, I think. But I really can't keep the books in that triolgy separate.
The end of the last Lisa scene seemed to call for on Kye's Part.
Though, there are a number of other possible "What's going on in Coma!Kye's head" scenes that might or might not be mutually exclusive with that.

4) Matt and Aidan would be the ones to talk to about maps.

In reference to question #6, I am sending an email to Shannon to start discussing that. Among other things Ahrain/Raynard related.

Oh, what a tangled web we all wove with this game.
