So, just checking, are you different from the person we talked to before we were bound to Flannery? They sure made the Crawl out to be a lot worse than this. I thought it was going to be a giant underground dungeon or labyrinth or something, not just a city.
Anyway I feel like it probably won't be very hard to find to find this person. By the sounds of it the kind of stories being written here place lots of significance on the main character and have them do cool and important things. People like that tend to stand out.
Actually, was that storybook thing just part of the analogy, or is it actually like theres a narrative? Hopefully this isn't too meta a question, it's just that this becomes a lot easier if theres a narrative convention in place, if we can manipulate it. There are stories that have their main characters fail as well as succeed.
