Rumble

I'm definitely going to tone down Zyanya's trouble in this section once I go back to edit. I had been trying to gradually build up her stress, resulting in an nervous, accidental shooting of Ruby when she meant to kill Cairo. When I got closer to that point (I've managed to stay a few days ahead of this blog in writing), I didn't like how that would play. I'll rewrite this stuff after NaNo to keep her as badass as ever. Still, part of me likes her little panic attack. I like how it rounds out her mental unbalance :P

I felt like this first Cairo part wasn't quite true to the atmosphere I wanted. It's somewhat better later.

I shot Ruby last night! ToT A lot of that sequence of events was switched around, notably the huge break between the gangs after that, Rodney rabble-rousing and Zy attacking Cairo. Didn't seem realistic that Rodney would take that long. He starts the fight before either gang has gone too far.

Thinking ahead to the Anton stuff... I've got a little plan to reorganize events that should work out nicely. Aleksi will be written out or his role in that scene will be minimized... it'll be Zy!
