Ever have a really big dust up, relationship-wise? Lotta things that all sides think they say don’t reeeeaaally get said.
Of course, some of the things that do get said are stupid, but that’s a whole ‘nother cartoon.
And the spaces where nobody says anything? That’s when your brain fills in all kinds of things you think you said, meant to say, or ought to say.
Now, what the OTHER people hear, or take away? Who knows.
So let’s all assume we know what’s going on here, and let’s worry that we’re wrong. Or right, depending.
Side note for you guys that read this far down the page: “Light Of Other Days” is a neat book. People discover the means of hearing how their past conversations really really sounded. Please, please, don’t ever let people really develop that technology. Yikes. Of course, I suppose a constantly running digital recorder could do something like that, but it’s much cooler in a science fiction book. Arthur C. Clarke rocks.
Kara seems to be shell-shocked, and not ready to come out of it yet.
Semi-conscious, running a sportsfest, dealing with Paste, AND winning an argument that he didn’t know he was having.. wow..
And Steven hasn’t crossed the line yet.. but he’s building that negative karma.. If he keeps it up, some WEIRD SHIT gonna happen..
Just waiting for the serious to hit the fan and go back to being the usual that seems to operate in Hubrisland. Eh?
Get Kara on the climbing wall or something, she could use a good bit of competition right now. Really.
Ugh. The idea that anyone could go for Steven after the fun of dating Hubris. This storyline is not working for me, sorry Greg! It may create interesting tension, but Kara is too cool for this.
