"Eaten by ghouls" is good.

Today's valuable lesson: Doesn't matter how true it is, doesn't matter how sad you and your protagonist are that the character's dead. As an epitaph, eaten by ghouls is a guaranteed mood-breaker.



[livejournal.com profile] matociquala's talking about point of view. [livejournal.com profile] misia has become a book pusher. And they're both so much more interesting than I am right at the moment it would make your head spin.

Minor character. Died in the first book.

Does however give rise to Bear's favorite line in The Virtu:

"Y'all know you got ghouls?"

Got ghouls? would make a great icon caption.

And here, since Bear's quoted the line, a very small tidbit:

... behind me, Mildmay said, "Um, Felix?"

I turned. His face had gone a ghastly color, even allowing for the witchlights. "Did you know y'all got ghouls down here?"

And I remembered, in an entirely different and very visceral way, the death of -------.
