What a great chapter, one of the things that always grabs me when I read your stuff is how well you capture just the right facial expression to go with the story. I know that doing so mostly boils down to taking a ton of pictures so that you can pick and choose which ones to use but your picking and choosing is extremely well done.

Lots of hints and clues in this chapter as to what may happen in the future. Lots of build up for potential drama.

I like Edie, I'm glad Frances has her to look out for him. He really is very sweet and vulnerable here and I want him to get what he wants. If he doesn't get it here I may give it to him in my hood, I think both Tank and Frances are gay there, though I think Tank's been eying Tybalt Capp for awhile. In my hood I've got all the play ables extracted and turned into townies for legacy fodder.

The party sounds like it's going to be interesting. I can't wait.
