Be careful... wouldn't want you to spill on the computer. (I eat in front of the computer way too much. My SO and I both do, since we don't have cable TV and we watch a lot of stuff online.)

Thank you. That means a lot coming from you, since I really enjoy your writing. Thank you for taking the time to catch up. There's quite a bit to get through at this point, isn't there?

The Bella thing is great. Like all of the Maxis set-up, there's no right way to work with it, so it's fun to come up with your own take on it. I love trying to piece together all the clues in the game, and I've devised a way for it to be connected to what's going on in Strangetown, and the larger story about the aliens. It'll be fun to play it out (and hopefully it'll all make sufficient sense... not that this has stopped me in the past *snicker*).

I really like thinking about the neighbourhood as a whole like that, and even how the other hoods relate to the whole story. It's fun to throw minor characters into the background. They're all there even if they don't get much screen time. You never know when there might be a good reason to bring one of them into the story. That's something I like about your story too: the way you're working with Veronaville as a whole. There's a lot of great potential in all those connections, and it makes for a very interesting tale. I'm really enjoying what you're doing with it.

Thanks again.
