I've done most of the downloads...

on the new computer. I should figure out how to connect that one to this one, wirelessly, so I can just transfer the files I want transferred, but that's going to have to wait, I think, until tomorrow.

The logistics of the current scene are driving me slightly crazy. My Bad Guy isn't entirely sane or stable right now, he's got two minions and a hostage. I'm pretty sure the hostage is going to bite it, and the minions too, but I need to leave him alive for a bit. Because I'm mean that way.

But figuring out how to accomplish this so that it makes narrative sense...

Yeah. Not doing too well in that department. All these well-armed people, bullets flying everywhere--Alex has to live. Ben has to live. I'd rather not kill the butler off. And the Bad Guy has to live.

Question is, why would they leave him alive? He's a very bad man. He wants Ben and Alex dead, preferably slowly and painfully.

Also, Pushing Daisies crossed over with Wonderfalls tonight, which filled me with unseemly glee.

Well, you've got all kinds of stuff with nanotechnology, right? That kind of thing could be used for superfast healing, couldn't it? So maybe he like...brought just enough nano-whatever to keep healing himself from whatever wounds he received during the battle (like, already injected or something so the little nanobots could heal him right away whenever he got shot) but not enough for afterwards so your good guys don't have to worry about killing him repeatedly.

Or...you know, something.

That'd be great if it was the Bad Guy who had the nanotech. Alas, it isn't.

*hates story*

Oh. Well...uh...he stole some? Actually, would there be any of the nanotech stuff available, like, in Alex's house or whatever that he could swipe? I don't really know how it's being used in the context of your story, I guess.

Doesn't matter now, it's fixed and I've moved on. *evil laughter*

Wasn't it wonderful! I've got to rewatch that episode of Wonderfalls now.
