    I´m a bit late , but I wanted to watch and read in all silence. First I thought you would start with Maxwell´s world, but you went back to the past and it is an interesting backstory of Barb´s former life, her scar, her fears ... great pics with suiting effects to the mood of the dialogues.
    I like this for the softness.
    I´m tensed, if Barb will think about this proposal and change her mind and who will go with her to find Jenna ...
    Great story an brilliant pics here

      I take it as a compliment that you wanted to take the time to concentrate on the story. Thanks very much.
      I wanted to try Maxwell's World but I didn't like the 'no companion' rule. But, after seeing Margret's visit with Sos along, I thought maybe Barb's character may be structured the same way as Sos. So, maybe I could get two characters into Maxwell's world as well.
      And, then, Barb's character started to take on a life of her own and I didn't want to write her out of Isolde's Story because I liked her character. So, she needed something to do and a backstory to fill in her motivations. And, here it is!
      I wanted the softness in that picture to counteract the tension between them at that moment and to seem like a reminder that they were once good friends.
      In the past, when I read a book with multiple characters involved in their own plots, I sometimes got upset when the author would start the next chapter with a different character before resolving the other character's dilemma. I always thought it was just an attempt by the author to get the reader to keep on reading the book. Now, with so many characters in my own story, I understand how it's necessary to keep all the characters moving at the same pace.
      I do have a plan for Barb but several things will have to happen with other characters before Barb gets back to Sanctuary.
      I'm really pleased that you're enjoying the story.

      Thank you.
      That image was taken directly from the game. Weird, but I think the mod had something to do with it. Barb left the new area that the mod had defined and came back to the vanilla game area and this is what it looked like - so I had to capture it.
      Thanks. I like to vary the images to try to keep it interesting.

    Jenna heh?

    What was this effect on the "Maxwell's World" screen? It's pretty fucked up ! Looks like Barb has arrived to the edge of the world. It reminds me of an old Mickey's story i've read years ago, where many characters were going to the Cockayne country.
    The story was a vast cross-over between many Disney's franchises, and the protagonist was tasked to save this world from the void who was litteraly eating it. At the end, they were confronted to the void in the Cockayne country; your image remember me of that final encounter, when all has been engulfed in a white void and what's left is being eaten away.

      That's her sister's name in the mod.

      Sounds like a pretty strange story.

      In that image, I just changed the color a bit. Here's the original, unmodified screen directly from the game -

      Thank you very kindly.
      I've finally been able to weave in Under New Management and The 'Red' in Red Rocket from the supporter section.

    Good story. That Koko is very persistent. I wonder if Barb will be successful or end up with Koko at the RR. I guess we'll see. I've had the Amusement Park on my list for a long time, but still haven't gotten to it. Should be fun.

      Thanks. Koko is self-centered and driven. And a schemer. I do have a plan for Barb.
      This expedition has been in the plot for Isolde's Story for a while, too, but it keeps getting pushed back ...

    Oh, boy Koko is trouble from the end of her lit cigarette, right down to her heels. Nothing like a little coercion or blackmail to make Barb's life a mess. Good story Hammer....curious who gets their nose broke first and by whom.

      She's a major schemer all right. Thanks.
      I don't know if there will be bleeding, but something might get burned.

      Thanks very much. I think you've got the idea. Most likely, you won't remember this little link .
      (Some of Barb's pictures can be seen in The 'Red' in Red Rocket in the supporter section.)
