Oh my gods, we just went off on an unexpected tangent!!
I just did 5 minutes of research on aztecs in the hope of making a slightly informed clever reply. I learnt that the word gold teocuitlatl, literally means excrement of the gods. Hmm... I was hoping for something a little classier, but ... I gotta say,
This is some good sh#$!
I love that you immersed yourself into the story, then left yourself in limbo with 2 equally marooned characters. It is a highly amusing read.
It also accentuates their uprooted displacement into a world where they are of little relevance. I also love their observations of the world of today (all the way through the chapters) their circumstance does not alter their sense of importance or undermine them in any way, it just annoys them. I am enjoying the development of Cihuacoatl she was so contained before, and resigned to fitting in and flying under the radar. Now that they are reunighted she has regained a bit of fire herself, very nice.
You accomplished that in 3 days?? Very impressive. All of you! Once again I am enjoying the twists and turns and sharp changes, not just in plot but in style. It is pure god oozing aztec gold.
Poor @dranuvar I do not envy your position, but I know you will deliver. I wait with great anticipation.
