You forgot to give Larry a cigarette holder. Smoking a regular cigarette is all bad boy, James Dean and cool.

Um, what about Quimley? serbitchalot May 4 2012, 21:41:02 UTC

He lives with the Generous Ones, too, after all... I mean, not even a warning or a single thought about it!

I guess it would be in character for Alex to forget all about that, though. I just hope he doesn't get hurt because of her plan, necessary as it was.

thats true about quimley :[

Why would this involve Quimley? There are lots of things living down there. I assume the Generous Ones will know what to do about this creature. Send it to the Lands Beyond or something. And anyway, it seems to only be after Alexandra. It didn't attack anyone else in all the months it was tracking her. Well, except for Larry at the end, but that's because he was with her. There is no reason to think the creature would go on a random killing spree once it gets to the Lands Below. Maybe it's from there originally anyway and will just go back to its tribe.

Re: Um, what about Quimley? serbitchalot May 5 2012, 07:14:00 UTC

You're right, there's no guarantee. Still, the story and the information available leads us and Alexandra to believe that, if she's succeeded, Nemesis/Gift's new target is the Generous Ones. They seem pretty adept at weird and bone-y magic, so maybe it won't be more than a nuisance... I just don't like thinking Alex has caused trouble for someone who did so much for her.

Also, is there really any doubt JM created the nemesis?

HOLY SCHNIIIKEEESSSS!!!! I feel like I just came to a screeching halt by the time I hit the last few sentences!!! Well then...THAT'S how JM got the murder of crows to get Alex at the invisible bridge in the beginning....duuude that was genius!!! I'm SOOOOO stoaked that Alex won't have to die after all, since she made mummy thingee go in her place!!! That was so awesome that she had that planned just in case.....buuuut, the ending is a bit disturbing. Wonder if the dean or anyone knows what's up...and if they do....they're probably diffusing the crow thing....ooooooooo boy.....MAAAAAN what a chappie!!! I practically scared one of my girls awake from her nap when I finished this chapter....brilliant writing Inverarity!!!

I guess Alex might be able to get the grade for her original 'catch Manuelito' project after all. I don't think she has done any impressive work with the Hags project.
