Re: Subterfuge YES. Oh God the characters with layers are so hard. Aaron says what he thinks most of the time, so him on the boards isn't that bad (except I have to physically prevent myself from editing his horrific typing--to the point of re-editing my edits to make them bad again). Typically Daniel is fine, but I can't go from immature Aaron to (relatively) mature Daniel at all. They're just to ofar apart in the spectrum.
And Iris is ALL subterfuge ALL the time. She requires more thinking power than I have unless I am sitting at home ONLY thinking about her in a relatively quiet environment. I am at work and I canNOT write Iris. I have discovered.
You're right I'm surprised about Kiki, but now that I think about it that makes a lot of sense. Especially considering her short conversation with Iris.
