Character evolution...

[caddyman]

Buggeration.

I have just written myself into a corner, and I'm not sure how to proceed.

I can either go back, edit and rewrite, or I can become more enigmatic. At some point I have to tie it back into the plot and move forward.

The trouble is, I quite like what I've written, but I have left unresolved plot lines dangling before, safe in the knowledge that they could be picked up and resolved at a later date, in a later event. This time there is no later event, so I have to think of a resolution that can come out this time, not in some unplayable future (that's not to say that there won't be indications of possible future courses for the character - they don't 'live' in a vacuum, after all). A page and a half of enigmatic set up requires some payback for the player, after all.

I am going to have to think about this a little before proceeding.

A little music, I think, before re-entering the fray.

If I've written it correctly, at least three of my characters should come out of the Grand expecting another series of 5 games to tell the story that they've just started.

At that point I shall direct them towards Ian and run away laughing.
