Not if you're taking our Allyson.
But but but! I have to take her to Goth Night, so the pet DJ can flirt with her and possibly make with the smoochies!
Wash: Mal, your dead army buddy's on the bridge! Zoe: He ain't dead. Wash: Oh.

Well then, in that case, you can borrow Allyson. But, post-smoochies, you need to put her back where you found her.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
(psssst)
ita, you have email. Your avatar is about to take centre stage in London Calling, and I need information. Stuck without it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't have anything in my inbox, deb -- searching the spam filter now. [eta: just showed up -- will read asap]
Heh--Kristen, I'm reading that blog post right now too.

ita, I laughed and laughed when I got to that. Then I thought, "New tagline!"

ita, bless you, love. I'm literally stopped in the middle of a sentence for lack of the info. And whereas I've done enough for the day - four days away from working on it meant a catchup spurt of 3200 words today - I'm on a roll, we're hitting the crime itself and the roots of the crime (racism), and I wanna keep on keepin' on....

I just hit send, deb.
Kristen, I figured the last line (about the gun in the mouth) would be a pretty good tagline for a scriptwriter too. Maybe Tim can use it. Though it'd probably not be his mouth.

ita, excellent - received, fervent thanks mouthed, and backflung, with a couple of details about why the fight is beyond standard. These guys aren't after the guy she's protecting - they're professional racists, and they're after her. Fight gets very nasty, very quick. We get to watch a couple of National Front skinhead types get their asses thoroughly kicked.

Always Anti-fascist!
Yay! They should film that story and show it every Christmas.
