Back to Act III Prologue Notes – Forward to Part 042 Notes

And welcome back to the Rose. This section is very much intended to be such, a welcome back, and a reintroduction of the characters. Billy’s in his infirmary, albeit a little more juvenile than before. Toby’s in the kitchen, making exactly what people want. Tre’s fulfilling his first mate duties. Auburn is being new. And Xiphos… well, she gets to be Xiphos, both belligerent and awkward.

I’m changing a line that bugged me all day.

“Sir,” Auburn said quietly. “I hope that’s ok. He’s like a living plushie; you can’t help but want to cuddle with him.”

Is now:

“Sir,” Auburn said quietly. “I hope that’s ok. He’s like a living plushie; you can’t help but want to hug him.”

It’s a minor change, but it really did bug me. And plushie is such an awkward word, but doll would have sounded too girly, and teddy bear is likely a guy these people actually work with.

Is it wrong that I chose the image of the Kelonio on the horizon, lights blazing in a somewhat choppy sea, because it looks so fucking cool on Deadliest Catch? That’s pretty wrong, isn’t it? Well I am ashamed.

Anyways, that’s all I got for today. As always, any questions or comments you have are totally welcome.
