I lo ethe shot of Buck andTank contemplating Ripp's haircut. I don't know why, I guess it just seemed perfect and sitcom-like.

[strange_tomato]

Maybe it's the way Buck seems to be looking into the camera at the live studio audience. *snicker* I like his arched brow and contemplating pose. You can tell he's already working on design ideas for this undertaking.

My brain is kinda mush right now, so I'll save my uber long comment for later. But, YAY UPDATE!!!! It's good to see some non-trio characters now. Kinda forgot they existed for a bit. :P

[strange_tomato]

Cool. No problem there. I fully understand how it is to have a brain like mush. I look forward to hearing what you have to say. :)

Well, I didn't want to break up the events of the last chapter with some random and mostly irrelevant "let's check in on Lazlo" scene. :P But yeah... some of these characters have been on the back burner for too long. Some of them have more interesting roles to play now, so they get more air time.

What a great update! :D

I'm taking a break from something, and need to get back to it, but I'll be back later for more comments. Just wanted to say, every part of it put a smile on my face! (Even Tank being pissy.)

[strange_tomato]

Thanks. :) It's nice to be able to bring a smile to your face. That's always a good thing. I'm looking forward to hearing what else you have to say about it.

It really did lift my mood, so thank you. ^_^ And (with the evening's long list of chores complete) I'm back to re-read and comment

[strange_tomato]

Well, I'm very glad. Lots of great comments here. Thanks. :) Time to chat about it all

Like Music_Simbol, my brain's sort of mush too. Luckily though, I'm coherent enough to type some things because this post was surprisingly put up earlier in the day than most of your others. :P

[xel_squirgle_ox]

Shit, I knew I forgot to put something. Your poor Ripp! How many times do you have to purposely make him sick just for the sake of a goddamn picture?! I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up fearing his life again. Or worse, maybe out of nowhere he'll beat your selfsim's ass like Tank did to me. Naaah, he's too nice. :snicker:

[strange_tomato]

*snicker* Poor Ripp. The trials he goes through... but he does get to be one of the central characters in this story, so he'll just have to put up with me. I'm hardly through with him yet (though he's going to chill out on the boozing, so the vomit showers should become less frequent).

Beat my simself's ass? Well, he might tap her ass, since she IS a student at LFT, but that's probably the worst of it. :P My simself will just have to suffer through it, I guess.

[strange_tomato]

Yeah, I didn't post it as the clock strikes midnight for once. It was actually pretty close to being ready to post the day before, so maybe that's why

[silentsteel]

Very fun! I'm not sure what I liked best - how Buck's setting his foot down about them being family, Frances trying to regain ahold of his life, or that Ripp, Johnny, and Ophelia were able to talk things over so rationally. It may not be resolved, but that they can talk is great. :D

Oooh, Ripp with a haircut! :D I love that last shot of Buck and Tank.

[strange_tomato]

Thanks. :) It's a time of transition for a lot of the characters, isn't it?

I love thinking up reaction shots like that. There were so many ways I could go with it. I considered a more jaw-dropping reaction, but when I saw that one, it just seemed right. Buck likes the idea of getting to cut anyone's hair, of course, and he's intrigued by the challenge of thinking up something to satisfy bot Ripp and Tank.
