KISS THE DEAD, CHAPTER TWO
Dec. 6th, 2013 03:29 pm- Do you know what I'm really looking forward to? When I'm done with Kiss the Dead, I'm deleting all the AB off my Kindle. It will be such a soothing cleanse. I don't care if eventually I want to go back and check something, I just hate having that tripe on my Kindle at all. The only thing worse would be having it on my bookshelf, which is why I refuse to buy "Blood Noir" even though it's at the dollar store and thus only a buck. I guess I *might* give in and get it to spork if it's still there the next time I go, then immediately donate it to Goodwill after.
- So, something has been bothering me ever since Yiyu and Ethan joined the harem...the idea with Anita and her Therian Servants is that she 'needs' a Therian Servant of each species that corresponds with her own inner beast. A wolf for her wolf, a lion for her lion, a leopard for her leopard, and a tiger of each color for each of hers. When Anita got Domino, his being half black tiger was stated as sufficient enough for him to be her black tiger to call (since she already had a white tiger to call in Crispin). But now Yiyu is her black tiger to call, so what is Domino? And what the hell is Ethan, since Anita already had a tiger of every color in his heritage before she made him hers too?
- A friend and I were talking last night about how silver must be the most expensive, most mined, most super-rare ANYTHING in the ABverse. Think about it: it's one of the few things guaranteed to permanently hurt or successfully kill therians and vamps, and people have known about said therians and vamps since the beginning of history and before, so they've probably been aware of the silver thing for just as long. While there's been no indication that LKH has even ever thought about this, it would be a decent in-universe explanation for why every police unit in the world isn't constantly armed with silver-plated bullets. Or is it that decent? Because as we discussed it further, we both agreed that scientists might have started synthesizing silver since they'd have had motivation to be working on since, well, the beginning of science, and what's more we know so very little about magic and witchcraft in this universe that silver might well be created by alchemy/transmutation (and thus probably enabling any witch who can do that to make a tidy living on this talent alone! At least until those pesky scientists started making it in mass quantities...I would totally have THAT be the setup if I were LKH)
- Blatz has positioned the food dish right in front of her house-box so all she has to do is poke her head out to eat. This has been going on all week and I see no sign of her changing arrangements. She will also keep her vest on for as long as she banana to eat. When the banana goes away, the vest comes off!
