Butterfly Effect: Author's Notes: Chapter 22

[bard_linn]

Bard Linn: Ahem. Welcome to hell week, where you can study your brains out for the low price of your sanity!

Bard Linn: ....Oh wait. That's not what I meant....

Kiraya: Or spend all your time writing papers. :P

Kiraya: ...though really, who am I kidding, there?

Bard Linn: Somehow I doubt you are spending all of your time writing papers.

Bard Linn: Exactly.

Bard Linn: No one.

Bard Linn: However, despite our difficulties, we have managed to update this week! Not QUITE on the usual schedule, but still!

Kiraya: It's been a long semester, and we need a break.

Bard Linn: If I can just Survive until Thursday afternoon....

Kiraya: *patpat* You'll be fine, dear.

Bard Linn: *deathpan* We moved our sessions from 10-8 to 9-8.

Kiraya: ...... *sigh*

Bard Linn: (That's AM to PM, dears.)

Kiraya: She's insane, I'm telling you.

Bard Linn: Not denying it.

Bard Linn: Ahem. But more about the chapter and less about my obsessive compulsive sanity depriving habits....

Bard Linn: I'm rather happy with how this chapter came out.

Kiraya: My favourite part is still the Vin-Cloud scene at the end. <3

Bard Linn: Yes, I really do like that!

Bard Linn: But also, we have Reno for the first time on page!

Kiraya: I was kind of nervous about him, actually.

Bard Linn: He's hard to write because there is so much more to him than what he shows.

Kiraya: Reconciling the playful, goofy side with the cold hard killer so that he doesn't seem to bounce between extremes so easily.

Bard Linn: Very much so. I know some of the readers have been waiting for him - I hope you enjoy him and I do promise he will be back. He shows up quite a bit more than I expected at first, actually.

Kiraya: Probably because some of the boys have a tendency to shove their way more into it once they show up.

Kiraya: (I'm looking at you, Chaos.)

(Chaos: *does a reasonable impression of lifting an eyebrow*)

Bard Linn: Other than that, this chapter could be called the "birthday filler" chapter, in which we try to cover a LOT of time at once without (x months later, +/- y days) syndrome. I'm sure some of you would like the story to get back to the plot, after all. I'm sure that its around here SOMEWHERE....

Kiraya: ...I think it might pick up next chapter. Maybe the chapter after?

Bard Linn: Something like that. *waves hands* I'm too tired to check.

Kiraya: And I'm distracted by baatezu.

Bard Linn: Er, yeah. Whatever.

Bard Linn: So anyway, fair readers, I think we shall say goodbye for this post. We shall see you next week!

Kiraya: Next month, dear.

Kiraya: After the holidays.

Bard Linn: Right. Next month.

Kiraya: So happy whatever you celebrate, and a good New Year's!

Bard Linn: See, I told you I need sleep! Next thing you know I'll be saying the Pythagoreans discovered complex numbers.

Bard Linn: Yes! Enjoy the holidays, and your vacation if you get it. See you soon!

*grins* Isn't he? Reno is very, very fun. And I get the feeling that Cloud would get along with Rude. Him being so very used to being around the Strong, Silent Type.

Point. And I suppose they'd want a good contact within Soldier other than Zack. So maybe they'd just keep on friendly terms with him. Having a pseudo-Turk in the ranks of Soldier.

...let's just say Rude and Cloud's meeting will be a very memorable one, shall we?

And Sephiroth and Tseng, don't forget. :3

.... I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing. Is this a good thing or bad thing? *eyes you warily*

Yes, yes, but it's not the same. =P

THAT would be telling.
