Emily can kill Derrick, that's what he's there for, but lets draw it out a few posts. She'd probably have trouble reaching his neck anyway.

Is that so?
List of my characters by pages survived! (As of page 218)

Obviously green means still alive and kicking and red means... not so much.

WILLOW: 218 pages
KELSEY: 215 pages
JENNIFER: 119 pages
RANDALL: 106 pages
ANTONIO: 104 pages
NOLAN: 93 pages
GLENDA: 84 pages
MAXWELL: 63 pages

Antonio is gonna overthrow Randall in a few pages here! It also looks like my female characters tend to live longer. Though that could just be skewed by the fact Willow and Kelsey are very difficult to kill. Women have a 50% mortality rate and the men have a 75% mortality rate. So the guys definitely got it rough these days.



Now a few words on the most recent red name. Nolan. For starters, it was Yerishi's idea. But I liked what his plan behind it was, so I agreed to his steep terms. Nolan had a very love-hate relationship with the RNG. He always rolled big numbers. Which was great for him in some cases, but terrible when he had to make saving throw rolls (I have low numbers represent better results and high numbers represent dangerous ones). For example, my roll options for Antonio's car crash during the Green River arc.

1) Nolan survives the crash without injury
2) Nolan gets roughed up, but is okay
3) Nolan knocks his head on something and gets a cut
4) Nolan is ejected from the truck entirely

Spoiler alert: He rolled a 4. He should be glad that I didn't have any 'death' options for him sooner. With his luck he would have nailed it.

He wasn't actually intended to be the team punching bag, but he kind of evolved into that. And it kind of worked. Actually, Nolan changed a LOT over the course of writing him. He originally came in as kind of a jock that likes movies, but I thought it might be fun to do a spin on him. So instead of the capable but average-witted jock he was before, I made him into a smart but incapable one. I thought it would provide an interest contrast since most of the characters are badasses by now while Nolan was most definitely not. He had all the tools he needed to be one, but for whatever reason, he wasn't able to use them. I even had a plan to do an arc at some point where he maybe realized that. But a little bit late now, huh?

So I finally got a moment to check everything out now that work is done.

Excited to see where Kelsey is going.

Also I have to apologize ahead of time for this, I wanted to have a bit more back and forth but the conflicting timezones and my erratic work schedule means I'm not active and available when you guys are the next couple days and I'm getting seriously left behind. So I've had to skip the foreplay and cut to the chase which is a let down.

I know I took some liberties but like I said my end of things is starting to drag its heels. I really would have liked to have more of the usual post by post break down of the action because that's usually where the more interesting stuff actually comes from, because other people will always be able to think of something you didn't that might make more sense, or just feel better but if it takes any longer than this Brandon and Emily are going to be left out of the action entirely.

We can always slow down a bit if you want.

Things slowed down for a while a couple of weeks ago when Yerishi was busy and out of town. It isn't that big of a deal, everyone has times that are busier.

I kind of also don't want it slow down, because everything else that's happening is so interesting. I'm bitng my nails waiting for to see what's going to happen.
