So, Sugah, how ya wanna play this tonight? Hapless girl who doesn't know a cue from a golf club, or tipsy college co-ed who can't walk straight, let alone shoot?

But of course, they'd work together to hustle people. Love it.

A busted lip she gets when she is eight, and her and her best friend Carrie think that sledding down the stairs is a decent substitute for the snow they've never seen.

LOL I think every kid has attempted to use their stairs as a sled run. Too cute.

I like that even while imprisoned, Marie was still being snarky. They didn't break her completely.

Hard to believe there's only one more part.

Thanks!!! I, personally, love the idea of Marie and Logan working in tandem like that, it's just how I see them behaving.

And yeah, I think EVERY kid (and some adults I know) have tried sledding down the stairs, with varying results ;-P

They didn't break her completely.
I'm glad that comes through, and I hope that it's believable. I really felt like she'd be able to manage a hell of a lot before she's break, and for that point doesn't come until AFTER she absorbs people she knows, and then goes through the shock of having it all wiped away.

ANd yup, only one more part! Hopefully, it'll wrap things up decently. *fingers crossed*
