YA«AMI»U

"What? You don't know what ‹YA«AMI»U› means?" I ask, glaring at you like I'm crazy as my eye twitches from the however many cans of soda and energy drink I've had.

It means «Yet Another "Aleks Meets Inga" update»… I had to have some fun and put a Linux joke in the post. Anyway, down to business.

So, Aleks Meets Inga is going a bit slower than I'd originally planned, and the main reason for that is because I had one good hit of inspiration followed by a week of sinus infection and laryngitis. When your head's stopped up, it's hell for your focus. Anyway, the good thing is that I think it's going away now, but I'm not entirely sure. Enough about me and more about the book.

A stunt that Aleks pulls in an early chapter involving his "friend" and a vampire is repeated in a later chapter, but his motives are completely changed (or diminished, if you will).

This is Aleksey, we're talking about here.

Aleksey and Chloe "evolve" with each other, but there's also some dynamics of the vampire world that shows through, some of which makes Aleks go into what I like to call «Ron Swanson Mode». They've been stuck there for days, so the shock value for Aleks and Chloe has, more-or-less, turned into "Alright? Fanged bloodsucker thinks she can outsmart me? Fine. I'll sleep with you, but only because that's how I can learn the most while doing the least and faking the rest.". Eve has a terrible nightmare… (or would the vampires call it a daymare) about what she thinks Aleks would be like, should Inga manage to bite and turn him. in short, the only remotely new thing to mention is that The Insufferable Duo is now in a Walmart in Inga's world!
