Ohboyohboyyy~ a nice, long meaty chapter to come home to x)) Love how canon you're being with Carol's voice-- she was a right turd for a while, and her justifications and rationalizations, plus her view of Steve, are a pleasure to read. The descriptions of the abandoned city streets and those poor sailors and marines :C very eerie.
There's something about empty street in NY that's just really creepy - the actual movie of I am Legend was ruined by the lame ending, but the trailer for it was one of the most effective I've ever seen, with the shot of grass growing in Times Square.
It's really good to hear that people think we're doing a decent job with Carol - like crimsonquills said, there's a fine line between being IC and character bashing when you're writing a character who's in the kind of mental place Carol is at in this, so it's good that people seem to think we're coming down in the IC side of the line.
I find it interesting that the aliens are furry and hesitant about light! I tend to think of reptilian type deals when sensitivity to life is an issue. I'm going back and forth between picturing them with gigantic, sugarglider-eyes or beady, mole-eyes.
Big eyes, though not quite sugar-glider big, and solid black like a rat's. They have big, fox-like pointed ears, too. And their fur is very short and velvety, like horse's fur.
...It's now suddenly occured to me to wonder if they grow winter coats like a lot of furry animals do, and if the Argonians would get fluffier as the weather gets colder.
I'm very eager to see where you're going with this, I hope we get a peek into the scientist basement soon!
Yay, thanks! The scientist basement will appear eventually, we promise.
