Did you have something to do with this?!

Did it ask for money? If not, then probably no.

Well, it did seem inordinately interested in my computer.

Maybe the NSA is employing horses now.

Oh, and it goes without saying that Mil's immediate reaction to the whole thing was "FUCKING PEASANTS! EVERYWHERE!"

He's such a rude little bastard.

Mil is suspicious and disdainful of horses on general principle. I think he thinks there's a better way out there somewhere, and the peasants - once again - just aren't trying hard enough. Or they're deliberately trying to mess with him.

I was thinking a bit about how to kick up the tension in the current section, since I think that's what's really missing - I mean, we've only kicked Mil in the balls a half-dozen times in the last handful of chapters and he's hardly even turning blue.

What if Linna colluded with the emperor before his death to put the chibi in charge? What if this plan required some lying on Linna's part, and if it were discovered, he could be in serious trouble?

I want the chibi to reveal something that smacks Mil's head around the other way again - I just can't quite figure out what it is. I figure if it's something that makes Mil feel like an idiot for ever trusting Linna, so much the better.

I think Mil secretly-- or not so secretly, knowing Mil and his willingness to make a fuss-- thinks that everyone everywhere is hiding better transportation from him. I think he thinks that the flying car has already been invented and everyone is just hiding it from him. I bet he hassles Ciera about this every day ( ... )

Hooooo-leeeee shit.

I'm gonna let that percolate around in my brain a bit - but boy, would that go a long way toward putting Linna in a very precarious place and make Mil want to slap his head around on his neck.

You ROCK.

Cool. Maybe we can talk it over later tonight. I think I'm going to hit the pool when I get home and do some laps.

Hee hee. Poor Milale. Kicked in the dick by the world.

Cool. I gotta go get Lunar from the train station so I might be a little later than usual.

I'd feel worse for Milale if he weren't already working himself up into a hell of a screechfest to unload on Linna.

Good thing Mil is going to be seriously stoned when he and Linna finally get around to sexing up. He's quieter that way.
