Happy Birthday Marty and Victor!

[crossover_chick]

Party post is up, for the interested! It's mostly making fun of me because I have such a hard time keeping track of my RP character's ages. Look, I have room for only so many anniversaries in my head. . .

Unfortunately, I can't stay long because I'm already pushing the limits of how late I should stay up (catching up with tumblr, my eternal hell), but I do have fic to deliver! Which, uh, doesn't have anything to do with Marty or Victor, but is at least hotly anticipated (or so I assume) -- Chapter 2 of "In The Land of the Dead," Blu-Ray edition! While the framework is the same, the innards have been substantially revamped. Also, since we are dealing with rape survival here, a general Warning: some disturbing if vague imagery seems appropriate. So yeah, if you're up for it, you can read it on FF.net, on AO3, or on my website. Enjoy my chance to exposit on how the Land of the Dead works!

All right, time to answer the last of my tags/messages, then sneak it Victor's piano solo before bed. Night all!

I was gonna say something, but then you answered what it was. Basically I was gonna ask about the final half-hour of feeling and why they couldn't feel their burns, but then you mentioned they were unconscious for it so never mind. ^^

"No-Rot?" Athur echoed, deciding not to mention that their house was quite warm enough, thank you.

Spelling blooper. :)

Some look as though they have, but eventually everyone either goes Up–" she pointed at the ceiling, then turned her finger toward the floor "–or Down."

Missing punctuation between "floor" and "or" I think?

I'll silence you for good if you don't stop fighting!"And she hadn't stopped, couldn't stop –

Spacing. And even knowing what she's gonna do to him at the end (unless you change it in the rewrite) doesn't lessen the fact that I want to kill him myself.

I like the callback to the "animals don't have souls" thing Victor was told in "Losing You". Heheh...now I'm imagining a scene when Pastor Galswells has passed on and went to the Land of the Dead and he's immediately assaulted by animals. Pity they can't tall Downstairs like the maggots. "Oh, we don't have souls, do we? Then why are we here, eh?" :p Though he'd probably think he's gone mad or something. :/

Edit: I just had a thought...would it be awkward when Ned and his new wife finally die and meet up with Katy again?

Yeah, I originally had them feeling it a bit, but it seemed more logical for them to have missed the window because, well, smoke inhalation.

Dang it *fixes*

You know, I HAD a period there, but then I thought it looked weird. . . I guess I'll put it back, it's not really a huge thing. *fixes*

Dang it! *fixes* And no, trust me, she's still getting her revenge. The only way I'd change is to make it even MORE vicious. (And you are not alone in that sentiment.)

Yeah, I was rewriting, came up to the animal bit, and thought "Oh hey!" And LOL, I know. . .I don't think he's going to take the Land of the Dead in general well, honestly. I imagine him holing up in whatever's closest to a church muttering about demons and splashing holy water everywhere.

Probably at least a little, especially with the name similarities. But that's the thing about the Land of the Dead -- it's a lot like life. Including having its share of awkward. Of course, Katie could have moved on by the time Ned and Cathy die, so maybe the question is moot in the end.
