How… Wow. That’s pretty spectacular. I like it

🙂

By the way, I have this goofy habit of adding dialogue onto the end of what the author writes. Erich was in the middle of threatening to clean the place with his gun before I realized the conversation had changed. XD

Which is probably from how happy I was to see someone…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

Ouch. Leon, you’ve still got a pocket full of broken glass to work out.

Also…how did Erich end up in the US Army?!

(thank you for hitting Franz for me, Leon)

@rae

Whaley and Ducky have great advice! *takes notes* I don’t have much practice with fiction in this department, but this is a great question, so I’ll share my thoughts.

I’ve been with a few people in the days or even hours before they died, but they were all very ill and usually could not communicate. However, notes from what I have heard…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

But what if someone were to hide behind the corner with a spray bottle and keep the rock wet on a sunny day?

That’s what I think of every time I see that picture.

@whalekeeper

Pana cotta is really easy to make! It just takes a minor eternity for the gelatin to set up in the fridge. My cousin and I made a bunch in under 30 minutes. It then had to sit overnight in the fridge (although we ate some at dinner even though it was soft).

And I can’t seem to find the recipe book. =|

You can totally do that. Just…

Although I really want to find a creme brulee recipe that doesn’t take 8-12 hours.

@whalekeeper

Ah, lovely. Tis faster than pana cotta I see. I must try this.

Although I might swap out the rosewater for orange or lavender. Rose has never been a favorite flavor of mine.

@ellette-giselle

Oh no! Technology can be a beast sometimes. I’m glad you were able to get some if it back!

@freed_and_redeemed

*shivers*

OooOoh. That’s tension.

Love it!

@elishavet-pidyon

Aww, thanks. I think so too.

@koshka

Just gotta say, I love Quincy and Leo. Their dynamic is precious.

@ellette-giselle

Thank you, thank you. *Curtsey* XD

That’s what I thought. It also looked like he blamed himself a bit for what happened to Leon. Poor kid.

@ellette-giselle

Leo

At last, space to work. The Plant Doctor lady was out in the hall guarding her pots and computer — emphasis on the pots — leaving him and Rory alone in the soggy office.

Now if they could just isolate the leak…

Rory made a strange sound behind him, like when Quincy had stuck an entire earaser in his mouth thinking it…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I was wondering how early on you saw it coming? I did a teeny, tiny bit of foreshadowing, but I’ll be very surprised if it was really picked up on as much as it just felt realistic when the scene actually came head on.

Hmm. Well, by the time Leo was getting conscious again and Ian wouldn’t make contact with him but kept slipping o…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Sorry this one is long. I just had too much fun.

Leo

A grin rugged at his lips. He turned to encompass the entire hall with it’s gold name plates and carved enamel in a wave of his hand. “Welcome to Destina Elite Lounge Rooms, also known as the administration offices. Here’s where the head of the school departments come to work…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

*Visible anguish*

You just…leave us…with that?!?

Cruelty of an author. Misuse of cliffhangers. Undeniable suspense.

Ahhhhhhhh…

…

Great job! I don’t like any of these guys. Except Riker of course. And Leon, wherever he is right now…

And though I’ve felt sorry for Franz,  he abused a child.

So yeah. Anxiously…[Read more]

I also liked the way Leon realizes he’s dying, and that he doesn’t have much time left to work here. The urgency that comes over his actions was real to me.

And then the whole “you’re crazy but I still kinda admire your attitude” thing was funny, but unfortunately real.

@ellette-giselle

Okay. XD

1. It directly applied to today. Ian was hopeless. Utterly hopeless. And there really wasn’t anything better than Heaven itself to offer him. Most people today are already living in hell. They need to know heaven is real.
2. We saw that suicide attempt coming, even though you didn’t spell that out. And then you thwarted a…

@ellette-giselle

Where did you come from?!?! 😂

*Wiggles fingers mysteriously* Narnia…

I wonder what is hooking everyone so much about this section?! Why do y’all like it so much?

I guess it felt well balanced to me, better than some of the others. You did more show than tell; your characters were interacting with each other and their own st…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

It’s Rolf! XD I was expecting someone from Vandalia or somewhere like that, not Rolf.

And yeah. I actually read the chapters in my email to avoid spoiling, although it does mean I often forget to comment.

But oooooo, I liked this chapter. Definitely ready for the next one.

(And I still don’t think this book is darker than the…[Read more]
