Far Out There

Disonar is good a throwing parties, building places to throw parties, and inviting people to come to other people’s parties. Layla’s plan (whatever the heck it is) does not involve any parties, so it’s pretty far outside Disonar’s comfort zone. But he, that’s supposed to be the point, right?

And before you question whether or not someone with Layla’s proportions should really be calling anybody else “bouncy”, let’s remember that Layla deliberately dresses to DOWNPLAY that sort of thing. Not like SOME people who get in your face about it (literally, if you pay attention to what is where)

Last but not least, New Voting Incentive awaits!

(Historical Notes: What’s extra funny about Layla’s line is that, all things considered, this is one of the most MODEST outfits Astrid’s worn.  Also, note that we never really hear the specifics of what Layla’s plan actually IS.  This was partially to leave room for the reader to imagine the weirdest thing possible, but also an attempt at a fake-out.  There’s that classic storytelling trope where, if you explain the whole plan ahead of time, something is bound to go wrong, while successful are left vague to preserve the surprise.  By leaving out the specific details of Layla‘s plan, I hoped to add a sense of uncertainty as to whether or not things would actually work out… because, you know, people’s plans in Far Out There have SUCH a track record of going exactly as expected.)
