@rochellaine Nice work! I did 654
*Stan bounds back with the ice cream and hands Bobert a box*
*Giarstanornarak tries to melt chair*
Also, Daeus has 22 turtles in his signature.@sam-kowal Congratulations! 😀 Looks like I need some practice.
But anyway, I did end up throwing the guy off the cliff, so that’s over with. 🙂
*Bobert hugs Stan* Can he go for a ride now?

Hey, I’ve brought my editing and come to join you. How’s things?

@seekjustice Hello! Things are great for me, but not so great for dear Uncle Bill, who I just dumped off a the cliff as I had planned. 😀
And @sam-kowal just beat me in a word-race. 🙁
Bobert is finally getting a chance to talk with Stan.
There’s the list for you! How are things in tomorrowland?
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
@rochellaine :O I feel sorry for him. It’s got to be scary. Not too sorry, though. I’m too mean to my own characters… 😛
😉 Yep. Bobert can ride now. He’s gotta watch out for the spikes on Stan’s back, which are very sharp. And tell him to hold on tight.
@seekjustice 😀 Not bad. I had word wars with both Snapper and Rochellaine*Giarstanornarak tries to melt chair*
Also, Daeus has 22 turtles in his signature.@sam-kowal *produces a very thick blanket conveniently out of nowhere because I’m an author and can do that* Here, we’ll just fold this up and put it on Stan’s back so Bobert won’t get hurt.
*lifts Bobert up onto Stan’s back*
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
I’m proud of you, Bobert! *claps like a proud aunty* *gets a bit teary*
Cool! I love doing word wars, I’m super competitive.
Poor guy, getting dropped off a cliff. I knew you wouldn’t kill him, you’re too compassionate for that sort of thing.

@rochellaine *Stan’s spikes tear through the blanket*
Stan: *blinks* Oops
Stan: I don’t think it’s too problematic. Now it’s nicely stuck on there and won’t come off– Oh, hi Bobert!
*they charge into the night*
*Giarstanornarak tries to melt chair*
Also, Daeus has 22 turtles in his signature.@rochellaine @seekjustice I’m signing off now. Happy writing 😉

@sam-kowal Goodbye! Don’t forget to tell Stan to drop Bobert off soon. He’ll have to go to bed.
@seekjustice Nope. I couldn’t kill him. I think I could kill a villain. I’ve never attempted that yet, though. Maybe I should in the western. It would be easy, with horse thieves and guns, don’t you think?And maybe, someday, I will get up the courage to kill a good character.
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
My villains are probably the safest of all my characters, actually. I can only think of one of my villains who’ve died.
It gets easier the more you do it 😉

It gets easier the more you do it.
That’s actually not the best recommendation. 🙂 Do you think I want to become callous?!
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
Well…No…I guess not.
Maybe this isn’t the best time, given the *cough* current conversation, but I’m editing a short story for a competition and I’m attempting to get rid of 489 words so that it fits the guidelines. Would you like to have a look?
Also, I’ve been thinking about your short story and you have a few options (probably which have all occurred to you):
-He killed someone (self-defence, of course!…Maybe)
-He accidentally killed someone (and that’s still pretty bad. can you be that cruel to him?)
-He was framed (that’s pretty common though…)
-The jerk bloke killed someone and blamed him (That really goes under framed though, doesn’t it?)
-He just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and got blamed by accident?
I don’t know, I’m trying to think of something really interesting, but that’s all I’ve got. Funnily enough, murder is hardly ever a subject of my writing. And I wouldn’t be able to write a murder mystery to save my life.

@seekjustice Sure, I’d love to! If you’ll link me a comments google doc I can try to highlight portions that I think could be shortened.
Thanks for all the suggestions! I wonder if he could have killed someone by accident? That sounds like the most interesting out of the lot. But I’d have a hard time because I would have to find a way to make the killing so accidental that he couldn’t be blamed at all. I’m in law school, you see, and know you can blame anyone for almost anything if you try hard enough. 😀 (Okay, that’s totally not true, but still…)
I actually thought of having the “jerk bloke” do the killing and frame Jack, but I decided that would be a little too obvious. I’m just keeping him in there as an annoying guy who messes up everything for June.
I’ll let you know what happens in the end!
