Alesa sounds chaotic and I loved it. Really interesting story. I love the details and the hints to the broader setting.

[tsuki_no_bara]

she's not intentionally an agent of chaos.... she's just used to telling people what to do and have them do it. and i'm glad you like it! i wrote about how russo and jamie met alesa in the first place for my writing group, so there's a lot of backstory and (occasionally slapdash) worldbuilding in my head.

Sounds like a definite failure to communicate. I like these characters and look forward to the next installment.

[tsuki_no_bara]

it reallly is. >.< but also alesa is the kind of person who goes off and does her own thing, and then comes back to her friends/business partners and says "ok, so this is what we're going to do..." whether they agree with it or not. and her planning isn't always, uh, logical. and thank you, i'm glad you like it!

[bleodswean]

You always have me marveling at how freakin' quickly you world build and create definable characters! NICE!

[tsuki_no_bara]

aw, thank you! altho to be fair i wrote the story of how russo&jamie first met alesa for my writing group, so a lot of the world is already built. kind of half-assedly, sometimes, but it's there.

I like this continuation of the story. I love the humor in the stall, with the ridiculous shirts and the head banging! XD

[tsuki_no_bara]

thank you! the stall bit was fun to write. i mean, ugly sweaters, concerned stallholder, what's not to like? (jamie has a let's say "highly personal" fashion sense.)

"...heavy feet...!" I love this!

Brava!

[tsuki_no_bara]

he's starting to feel rooted to the surface but he wants to be in SPACE. i had to think of something equivalent to itchy feet that felt more, uh, space-y. i'm glad you like it!
