Also, I am getting a bit screwed over by playlist.com as well but, I'm dealing. They only stole one song that I really, really loved so I will have to youtube it !
Oh, wait I do want to post about some of the things in the comments :
Mjollner
Mjollner is romanticized version of Mjöllnir, the hammer of Thor. The hammer is representative of the hammer and scythe on the Soviet Flag. So the Mjollner are the Soviet crime family in this universe. I was originally going to call them the Red Scythes but, I didn't really like it. Also, the hammer and scythe on the Soviet flag represent agriculture and industry in case you were wondering.
Chapter 8
In the last chapter Alan takes something from Minnie's drawer and says just in case. He is taking the gun to kill Dakota. This was added at the very last minute because I needed to explain why he had a weapon.
Chapter 9

-3-False Pretense
-4- White Flag
Oh, we used the same song. I love this version.
ReplyDeleteThis chapter actually did not seem very short. I liked the fight sequence, Alan is very impulsive.
ReplyDeleteI think the fact that Alan was concerned about whether the corpse was alive or not shows that he is not completely one of them.
ReplyDeleteSo it seems the bad guys have ethics ? Sara and the gang only kill certain people.
ReplyDeleteI know it's only a few years but I keep waiting for Chris Hansen to get TCAP on Alan's ass.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I wonder why Saint called Sara Sadie ? Unless it is a nickname.
ReplyDeleteRed Scythes sounds like a pretty awesome name.
ReplyDeleteAlan seems really anxious to carry a weapon around. I bet Sara isn't giving him one because she is afraid he will kill her with it.
ReplyDeleteI loved the part where Sara pistol whips Alan, like he needs another head injury.
ReplyDeleteI used to think all Dido songs sounded the same but the one u picked had gr8 imagery.
ReplyDeleteOh, this chapter was so exciting. The fact that you know how it ends and I don't makes me nervous. LOL !
ReplyDeleteDamn. . . Alan sure is getting some. (:
ReplyDelete^ *dies* LOL
ReplyDeleteOkay, I could not figure that Mojllner thing out. I was thinking it would play a really big role in the story
ReplyDeleteHow come no one was sitting in the front with Saint ? wouldn't it be more comfortable.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I'm starting to wonder if there is some Sara/Jean going on.
ReplyDeleteIs the next post a two chapter long post or a two chapter short post ?
ReplyDelete“Next time you do something stupid like that I will rip your right eye and testicle out and make you swallow them,”
ReplyDeleteUsing that the next time I hear a pick up line
In the last post I mentioned something being different about the passages and I think something happened to Alan during his surgery like he got someone Else's brain . . . wait is that from a movie ?
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's because she has kids but do the men consider Minnie prettier than Sara or is it just obvious that she is a pro ?
ReplyDeleteIs there any symbolism with Dakota being dead and the real Dakota-states are dead as in No Man's Land, now ?
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you were able to update with all the wedding plans.
ReplyDeleteWow, Minnie seems to sure love those drugs. I wonder if there is anything more to it.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I think Minnie is a robot, I mean when have we ever seen her eat.
ReplyDeleteHm, didn't Alan meet Pascal in chapter five ? I guess it was just in passing.
ReplyDeleteI really do wonder what this is all setting up for. I thmik with UL we were all just living with the characters. It makes me want to ask for an update so I will.
ReplyDeleteUpdate soon !
So when Alan says old fashion candy tin, does he mean like Altoids ? I mean we don't really have candy tins now.
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered, are there ten chapter of Veritas or does the very first part count as a prologue.

ReplyDeleteLinda-- It wouldn't be a web serial if we didn't use each others songs ! I've actually had the song for a while though.
Carleigh-- THis was actually one of the longer ones. Did I say shorter ?
LOTRmom-- No, not completely.
Picture_girl- Um, something like that. I think this gets explained later
Silver-Phoenix-- I really love your username. I may use it for something. It's HP related, right ? There are actually some inbetween laws about the age of consent being 16 or something though. Thats why you can get married at 16. IDK, I'll have to ask Joel.
CAgirl-- It's a diminutive, apparently. I just learned that myself.
NextMrsCullen-- I suppose but to me it sounded about as dangerous as the Jets and the Sharks.
NillaLatte-- Alan feels he has to protect himself.
CranberriVodka-- She would have shot him but, she would have set herself on fire.
CandyApple- I was going to use Sail Away for when they are leaving but it sounded really chessey.
NurseTina- The fact that I know you know you know makes me nervous, ya know ?
Tabby--Everything happens for a reason.
Lorrie-- I lol at these Minnie/Alan comments as well.
Marcia-- No, just a plot device really. I think . . .
Peace_goddess-- Sara wants to be with her kids, Minnie wants to be with Alan and Jean won't leave Minnie with Alan so you can see how that goes.
Teri84- I know a very definite answer to that.
Aym-- One is a short the other is long. Only one actually moves the story forward more.
Sawlisa-- Permission granted, I'm putting it in the creative commons.
California-Blues-- I won't say anything but, I'm not sure which movie that is from. There is an ABC family movie about Finding Brians Heart or something though. I think there is a phenomenon of implant patients taking on characteristics of their organ donors.
Ashlyn-- Minnie is noticeably younger but, aesthetically speaking Minnie is "prettier" than her.
Coraline-- No, not really TBH. I just liked the name Dakota for a guy because it sounds kind of harmless, which is basically what Dakota is.
sugarcookie--Well, Erik and I are swamped at Cobalt and we have atleast a year and a half until the actual date. Which we need to set . . .
Mira-- No, she is a drug addict. I tried to make this scathingly obvious.
Trichelle-- Interesting you bring this up but, she eats in chapter 4 or something when they are at the arcade and order pizza.
Biteme-- He did but, it didn't register with him who he was.
Natalie-- Oh, it is leading.
DearRhett- Yes, like Altoids.
Masison-- The first part was a prolouge and I've been meaning to add it to the site. I will before the next update.
Hang in there with me everyone !
