Ha! Anya was right about Santa. Very nice.

spuffyduds February 8 2007, 05:42:38 UTC

Well, she would know...glad you liked!

You have caught perfectly the dark undercurrent of Richard's relationship with his son - "a man with a uselessly bedridden wife has needs. Has rights" and the reason why Halfrek is in the household.

It's not Santa in that red-soaked suit, he didn't aquire one until he sold out to Coca Cola, so eeek! You haven't given a time-scale or setting for this but I see it as around 1880s London. Am I right?

I weaseled out of giving a time because I figured if I did I'd get something wrong! But yeah, that's when I was thinking of. And I did want to get across that there was something Very Wrong going on without spelling it out, so I'm glad that worked.

Oh, I love it! Granted I'm a fan of the vengeance justice demon as a rule.

There are situations that just seem to cry out for Anya and Hallie, aren't there?
