It’s fun to watch two very good writers evolve a story as well as this one has been. This installment, as usual, wastes no words and maximizes every detail in just the right way. Another win.

I’ve just jumped into this thread due to the actions of the “Random Story” tool, but I found this both an excellent summation (especially as some of the goings-on are merely hinted at) and bizarrely funny in a subliminal sort of way.
