remind me tomorrow and I will grant your wish

It is safe Tarquin knows. But it is also safe that, in his arrogance, he has no idea of the ramifications to it. It's just further embarrassment as you said. Though it is always nice to think of Tarquin seething and Orel happy.

Lydia will tackle the other side of the Patel-Lydia vs Tarquin fight. So that's a few chapters off.

This is one of those situations where all Patel needs to do is wait. Tarquin will hang himself with his own rope once she has made sure to box him in. Some times that is the best way to deal with these types, let them think they're winning, then pull the rug out from under them and watch them flail around. All the time showing exactly what kind of person they are. Basically they destroy their case at that point.

I just think it's old, and disused... And Orel has more than enough money to get it fixed up, heck he's more than capable of having the thing knocked down and a new one built rather rapidly. I know there are those A frame houses that can go up in an afternoon. I saw a number of them when in Russia, basically a garden shed/cabin thing that could.... hold on... here we go, something like this : https://bunkielife.com/bunkie-cabin/

Probably He's got that energy

yes indeed, I get it on good writing days, where things just go right... but it can be very draining when I push too hard. I've had a couple of recovery days these past two or three, where my brain has gone... time to rest. I've tried to be stubborn, but it simply says nope, switching off now. i like the poetry of Tommy's art. I hope I capture it with the Worlds, added to tomorrow's chapter.

Orel is amazingly fun to write. I am knee deep (12 chapters) into the third Grady book so far, and Orel continues to be a source of inspiration for me.

oh... oh man Orel: "Kyle explain to me what boo-kaa-kee means?" Kyle: Orel don't look that up at work... Orel: Isn't that what you and Garrett do to the donuts when you think no one's looking?
-
oh man, Orel would have SO many questions
-
so no different from the Average Friday night hook up then

K I need to not drink coffee when I read your posts LOL

Finn: Orel what are you doing, and why are you upside down? Orel : hold still and hold these eggs I got from the fridge. Finn : Why? Oh OOHHHHHH um Orel that's not how... oh dear...
-
I mean, they do... but I think poor Orel trying to fertilize Finn's egg sacks on the ocean floor might go a little sideways... That, quite literally, is um, Isopod mating.
-
That's the idea Ms Patel is working off of. Orel went and got himself a house, and a lease off of his own initiative. He then went out, found a need he could fill, and got a job he is well suited too. It makes Patel's case for her. "No one told him to do these things, he went and did them." It shows that Orel is more than capable of managing his own life, despite Tarquin's proposed narrative. I wouldn't call it luck, I think it's more that Orel is a more than Capable fellow who can problem solve just fine.
-
Yes so very true, all he has to do is ask, but to poor Orel a peck on the cheek "Comfort Protocol" doesn't work out into "Kiss me!" He hasn't quite put two and two together yet. Poor Orel might go pop from the isopod tingles before he works it out. I mean it's not like he's ever asked before, or anyone's thought to explain it to him. All he's running off of is Tarquin's corrupted data, and Orel is not repeating that.
-
I just remembered where I last used that joke, I need to write more Alec Stoker... I keep meaning to and get side tracked
-
I am amazed that Orel didn't purchase a step ladder
-
oh man, poor Orel he hasn't quite worked out that all he needs to do is ask :: chuckles :: He's over engineering a solution in that way of his.

It's been an interesting journey trying to learn and write a different kind of neurodivergence. Trying to write someone that isn't autistic, just using a different operating system to the rest of the world. I like exploring diversity in my writings, be it Orel here, or some of my other characters in other works. I hesitate to use the word to describe myself, I tend towards oscilating. But I think most writers are to a degree. When we're writing proper characters, at least for me, I tend to turn part of my brain off, and just start channeling a character, which is why mine often set off on their own courses much to my grey haired annoyance... I have one at the moment who's pinched a car, and is off on a joy ride. Not what I planned to write today.

seriously, which is why I find your comment so amusing. Phil, a rather unassuming CPA comes to town for a job, and accidentally ends up being mistaken for the provincial auditor... chaos ensues when he starts saying NO to the town council that's used to being told yes. Thus : The Knight that said No.

You know I've called the next book "The Knight that said No" right?

Also her introducing it into the record BEFORE Tarquin can frame Orel's mental illness allows her to control the narrative. If Tarquin tries to go for a conservatorship, she can use this to show he is unsuitable, and the cause of it.
