Oh, thank you, @dreemit! I've been so rushed off my feet too so please don't apologise. Just know how glad I always am when receiving a comment from you.
This one started off as a short story but I dunno now. May extend it now given the expanded arcs I'm looking at. But yes, I'm dealing with characters that most would consider "vile and nasty" by nature. Though that's the feel I'm going for in this one.
I'm very happy you guys enjoyed yourselves at the event. I'm sure it was a real blast! Till next time, take care of yourself! :)
