I figured, things like a waitress bashing a turtle weren't part of any clip, so
we had to make them happen.

In retrospect, I seem to remember the real award was up on the stage, not down
in the pit... Too bad. The story needed that moment down in the pit.

The *awesome* thing is, that scene could have worked with any author, er,
character on RACC. I bet even Tyrannus Auron would have left Kristi with a full
award to take home. But Kid Review *does* have a unique insight into the nature
of the Awardiverse...

You mean, where my characters are interacting with copies of your characters? I
figured that's what was happening anyway, because no one else has taken a
challenge to keep RACCies in continuity. But maybe that was the *real* Kid
Review there...

coercive, sullen package it was obvious that the Earth humans resented
the very idea.
