Second intermission! by Tranum on 2011-08-11 22:23:00 UTC Reply

So, I wrote another intermission along the same lines as the last one. It's quite a bit longer, and picks up a few hours after aforementioned last intermission. Hopefully, this will explain a bit more about the events of my last mission.

Drew and Lucius are awesome together-- you do the "We're friends!" "...with benefits?" "I'm hugging you not punching you, don't push it" banter very well!

Also, the more intermissions you post, the more heartbreaking your introduction is, in retrospect. Seriously. Drew: all the hugs.

Heh. by Tranum on 2011-08-12 23:57:00 UTC Reply

Yeah, Drew is probably the only Woobie-type character I've ever written. Well, intentionally, anyways. I've actually had his character arc planned out since I first came up with him. That would have been all the way back in November.

I'm probably going to stop abusing him soon.
Possibly.
Maybe.

So Drew gets antsy at the thought of getting laid, hm? Crazy times are had with that, though I do wonder what would happen if he ran into one of my agents and started... you know... ;) I'm sure crazy times would ensue for all.

Anyway, you're packing a lot of character into Drew, and I definitely suspect there was more that went on between him and Tom than he's letting on right now... ;) Here's hoping that he won't fully... you know.

About the first point... by Tranum on 2011-08-13 00:04:00 UTC Reply

Drew isn't so much "antsy about getting laid" as "will hit on anything that moves. And some stuff that doesn't." It's usually jokingly (like in this case), but sometimes... well...

Also, about the second bit, Tom and Drew's relationship will be discussed in more detail at some point. Possibly. If it is, it will likely be in another backstory segment.

Fun times!

You've certainly put one hell of a constraint on Agent Drew! I'm looking forward to seeing how this affects his performance on missions and his relationship with Lucius, and whether there's any way to stop or undo the process.

Honestly? I'm also looking forward to finding out more. I've really only thought up to this point with regards to character development, and I'm not entirely sure what direction I'm going to go with Drew at this point. Well, I do have a few things planned, such as a slow degredation into insanity, but others, like a potential cure, I haven't thought about in the slightest.

Quite frankly, I like this position. I'm at a point where I can realistically go in several directions with both agents, which is nice because, historically, I've shown an extreme tendancy to write myself into corners.

Sorry, I derped up the formatting. It's fixed now.
