RE: Out of their Element
@littlest-lily It would be a lie to say that my opinions about police hasn’t evolved in the ten years since I wrote Little Trouble in Big Sky. Nevertheless, I think I was rather cynical in my depiction of society in general and cops in particular as corrupt and craven. There are very few “good cops” IRL and even fewer in Big Sky.
If the flash drive is Dr. L’s size porn stash, it might be somewhat educational for Evie.

RE: Chopsticks
@smolchlo That’s all I meant: it sounded like The Snootches and Other Stories.

RE: Paint her like one of his miniatures - TFT
@maladaptivetiny An intriguing introduction, it’s mostly from her perspective but we get a few glimpses of this thoughts and intentions. I’m very curious about the village of voluntary tinies whose consent is always respected. Unmentioned is whether anyone has ever asked to be returned to full size, and what his response was.

@smolchlo Jacek Chmielnik was born in 1953 (d. 2007). I’m not as old as that, but I am older than he was in the photo I use for my avatar.

@maladaptivetiny The whole narrative (so far) turns on Susan considering how much she can trust Richard. What she knows about his character and intentions are crucial to her decision.

RE: A Little Wager
@bigcuddlygiant I presume the different sizes connote different denominations. Do they stack, I wonder?

RE: My Little Desk Pet
@littlest-lily I will refrain from asking follow-up questions and simply enjoy the extra glimpse into Blue’s life and her world.
I cannot help but be reminded of the time we tried to foster a second dog from the same rescue agency from whom we adopted our first dog. The second dog, Pax, must have been abused by a man because he never responded to my calls and always slunk away from me, even when I had treats. Pax constantly tried to escape, most notably digging under the backyard fence. We gave it three stressful months before I had to return him (on a Father’s Day, too). Fortunately he didn’t seem to teach our first dog any bad habits (like digging). On our recommendation the agency placed Pax with a woman who lived by herself.
I’m very proud of Blue for finding Lucky a new home, however long she stays. Something tells me FaeCo isn’t very diligent about vetting customers paying those prices.

RE: My Little Desk Pet
@littlest-lily Alright, here’s the big one: How do the little ladies become little? Is it voluntary? Is it still a secret outside FaeCo’s customer base?

RE: Date Night
@smolchlo Real friends would research giants first before setting you up on a blind date.
