[DomLuka] Desert Dropping

[dkstories]

Like, will Aaron really mess things up for Rory?

[Conner]

Aaron might mess things up for Rory. My reasoning there is that Aaron is still in love with Luke - but given Luke's current state of mind/emotions, he sees no chance for a reconciliation. So, kissing Rory just might be a way of moving on for him. I think Aaron does have an attraction to Rory. Now if Aaron is truly a slimeball and trying to get to Luke through Rory...well, that's going to be very messy for everyone and I hope it doesn't happen.

 

So far, it's just a kiss. Important, yes, but no one's running to the alter just yet.

 

I'm anxious to see how Rory will react. He will definitely be confused and his loyalty to Luke is going to be tested severely.

 

I'm hoping for some kind of redemption for Aaron. He will be called upon to act honourably and it will cost him dearly - perhaps even a broken heart. I hope he's up for it. In the end, I think Luke and Rory will be together but I want Luke and Aaron to reconcile as well. That's the hopeless romantic in me.

 

Essentially, it all comes down to "In Dom we trust."

There is good in all characters (except certain parents) - and though Aaron made a major f**K-up, I could see Rory listening to some of his perspective. My thought/hope:

 

 

It was Aaron's 16 b-day, he wanted to get something great but couldn't compete with Eddie and Jase so he did stupid thing #1 in stealing the car. Then instead of coming forward, he listened to someone else who kept warning him that he could go to jail because this was his second arrest, where as Eddie would be able to get Aaron off easily. And then his guilt that Aaron actually got convicted clogs his throat everytime he thinks about apologizing or talking to Luke - and is why he never says anything bad about Luke. As he does start falling for Rory and realizing he can't just ignore his past, he decides to come forward and clear Aaron's record.

 

 

I'll probably be totally wrong (what else is new), but I wanna kinda like Aaron and though I can see Aaron and Rory hooking up for "fun", I don't see Luke being a relationship kind of boy, at least not yet. In another thread (the Dom-aholic one), someone mentioned imagining being cuddled by Aiden, Jude or Luke - I don't see Luke being a cuddler. Aaron though would be a nice fit though.

[Ann]

I also think it will be Luke and Rory in the end... but I'm not sure Aaron will end up with a broken heart, unless he is trying to use Rory to get to Luke. I have a bad feeling about Aaron. I loved the kissing thing at the end of the last chapter... even clapped my hands. But, I also wanted Rory to push Aaron out of the boat... oh well, maybe he'll do that in the next chapter.

[Cris L]

All I want is for a new chapter NOW and maybe one a day ?

[Conner]

Cris,

 

Well, no one can fault you for lacking clarity in your first post. Good stuff!

 

Hugs,

Conner

[Conner]

Ok, I have two questions.

 

Why was part of Trebs' post blackened out? Did he say someting naughty? If you did, Trebs, sent me a personal email.

 

Ok, so I guess I have 3 questions.

 

Why does my post info have those little blue "warn" blocks? Does 0% mean I haven't been warned or that I've used them all up?

 

Ok, make that 4 questions.

 

Hugs,

Conner

The warn system is if you make a post that is considered to be wrong, over the top, or anything really negative. You'll get a message from the moderator to cool it down, what you did wrong and so forth. It's like that all over GA but I've actually only seen one person ever do something that required warning in a couple of years, and he was just flat out banned (so far the only person ever banned).

 

Let's say a really bad flame war in here started between two users. In order to calm it down, from stopping the needless flame baiting and name-calling and death threats, a moderator can 'warn' them to calm it down. If that doesn't work, they can require the individual's posts be 'monitored' before posting. In other words, a moderator would have to read and approve the post before it would be seen by others. It's only a system used where necessary to keep the board from degenerating into a post war, and I've only seen it used on other boards, never here.

 

Still, the capability is there. It's far better to calm things down than to let a community self-destruct over whether Adam had a belly button (stupid issue famous for causing churches to split up).

[Conner]

*Conner bows humbly to the Author/Moderator (A/M) In the bent over position (hmmmm, better be careful about doing that around here), a slight smirk registers across his face as he thinks to himself....yes, grovelling usually works...always a good strategy when your sorry ass is in the sling. Conner waits patiently for the gracious and all-seeing A/M to give him permission to speak. After a suitable amount of sweat has beaded on Conner's forehead, the A/M motions Conner to approach the dais. Conner approaches and fully prostrates himself on the floor. He begins to cry and wail and (if you like) even some knashing of teeth*

 

"What's your problem? And will you stop all the frothing and dribbling. You're making a mess." the A/M mutters rather disparagingly.

 

"I'm sorry, Sir. Thank you, kind Sir. I understand that it's important that we be civil and respectful of one another. "

 

*Conner begins to beat his breast*

 

"Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa." Conner whispers, bearly audible to the Lords and Ladies gathered there.

 

"What's your name?" the A/M asks impatiently.

 

"Conner, Sir."

 

"Well, Conner, the grovelling is quite appropriate for my ...umm... position. But now you're making me repeat mysef. I ask you again, what's your problem?"

 

Stuttering, Conner begins, "Sir, I understand the warning system but I seem to be the only member who has the blocks visible. Have I been Mark'ed, Sir?"

 

"Well, Conner, we've all been Mark'ed at one time or another. I feel your pain. Listen, come back later, though. I wish to consult with my learned colleagues on this matter. You may go."

 

*Unhesitatingly, Conner begins to move backwards.*

 

"Oh, Conner, one more thing. Are you being used by anyone right now....I mean, would you be availble for a private session in my... umm... chambers?"

 

"Chambers, Sir?"

 

"Oh, just standard fare, Conner. Nothing elaborate. The usual racks and chains and other...ummmm... contrivances."

 

"Oh, yes Sir! I would be honoured."

 

"Good! There's something I find, how shall I say it, genetically appealing about you. I'll have my First, I mean, associate, show you to my chambers."

 

...and they lived happily ever after.

 

 

Hugs,

Conner

Oh crap. See Novelty, this is what I mean about these Domophiles. They just go and lampoon you to all hell. I almost wish I had no morals just so I could zap him.

 

 

Too bad I do.

 

In this forums color's it's easier to see the green and red box. It's been so long since I was a peon like you that I have forgotten if you can see everyone's warning level or just your own. Probably just your own. I, however, can see everyone's except Myr's. Myr doesn't have one, although I wish he did so I could ping him just for the sake of pinging Myr.

 

*sigh*

 

There are limits even to MY power.

 

Now, lest I bef forced to declare you outlaw for hijacking a thread off-topic, let's return to the deliciousness that is Desert Dropping and, like, DOM WHERE IS THE NEXT CHAPTER?

 

Please?

 

P.S. Conner, if thou dost need some chastisement, grovel more and thou mayest receive unto thee a sample!

[Conner]

Never let it be said that I can't take a hint. Mind you, being declared an outlaw does hold a certain appeal for me.

 

Yes, Desert Dropping it is.

 

Ok, I wanna talk about Grandma Alice. She's obviously a strong woman and loves Rory to pieces. I mean there's a big mama grizzly bear inside that woman.

 

But she's got this...attitude. The only phrase I can come up with is "a sense of entitlement". This lady carries a big stick and is not afraid to use it, even when it appears that she's the one who should be fessing up to something. Her MO seems to be "the best defence is a good offence". I mean she has Eddie and Rory preparing letters of apology for not behaving as gentlemen should towards a lady. Give me a break, Alice!

 

Ok, there it is.

 

Hugs,

Conner

I've known quite a few older women like this...dangerous ladies they are!

Grandma Alice is, in my opinion, one obnoxious bitch. She refuses to own up to her actions, to explain things to people that are vital to them....I think she's way more concerned about her pride and her image than the people that should be important to her.

Psst! Chapter 7 was just posted on his site. :king:

Just finished chapter 7 (yes I'm a fast reader). So as to not spoil things for others...let me say...I feel cheated.

 

 

Damn Aaron!

[Trebs]

I thought the secret would start unraveling at the beginning of the story, with Luke seeing Rory and Aaron... So nothing happens, and I wait for the story of the package from Mom.

 

ARRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! Master of Misdirection strikes AGAIN!

 

<snivel>

I'll just be over here, curled up in my corner... can some one nudge me when DD 8 gets posted?

<whimper>

[Ann]

Cursing again, and it's not very lady-like of me. I did not see that coming. I love you Dom, but you're making me a little crazy here. Just when I think I've caught on to you, you do something like this. I was so sure you were going to drag this on forever. Damn you and your evil surprises.

 

But, I have to admit that this ending makes me curious- very curious- to know what you've got planned.

[Jay]

I sort of saw this one comming. I figured Aaron would be the one to drop that bomb.

Oh, and if y'all want to know what Dom looks like just look up "evil" in the dictionary. His picture is right there.

And people wonder why I thought of him when I was looking for a co-writer for Service.
