Don't worry, that'll be addressed later. But it makes sense why you wouldn't want to bring a blind girl into a potential attack site.

I actually think it would be good for her. Put some uh.... Hair on her chest?

I meant more along the lines of wanting to call her on the radio. Not actually have hope go to the water pump.

lets face it Datu has balls of steel. willing to dig the graves of Jay and Glen. then wanting to dig his own grave. then willing to try to fix the windmill, before he dies.

Kinda like the End of Armageddon When He has to tell his Daughter he has to break his promise and he is not coming home. That's the only part in a movie that made me shed a tear.

It's more important to have someone excellent but emotionally over-controlled as a leader than one who's emotionally wrought. It gives people confidence and that seems like part of the battle.

Over and over I've seen people predict what will happen based on what would usually happen on TV etc. The usual trope would be for her to be covering up for her ineptitude or being a bitch for bitches sake. If you expect that, that colors your perceptions.

Come on, I bet she's got some amazing DareDevil skills - it's even raining quite a lot, so she'd be perfectly fine... Couldn't choose a better time to send her out than now!

She's gotta learn how to survive, know that her life as an optically challenged individual ain't gonna be sugar and roses all the time...
Being blind myself I must say though that you've done a great job creating that character, seems realistic enough to me. I remember a Danish audio drama in which there was a blind girl as well. For some reason the writers of that drama had never heard about Braille - or maybe they just didn't think of it - so even though it was taking place in our time she couldn't read nor write at all... And seemed quite lost, confused, and much more helpless than you'd expect. Needless to say, I wasn't that happy about that specific character. Fortunately you haven't done such a thing yet, and I'm grateful for for that.

*Turns away from the WA-lord to face the other fans* Something I kinda just thought of... We all heard the zombie biting Datu talk, right? Datu's now telling us that it was a regular, though... But they can't talk.......... Can they??

When did you hear it talk? I don't quite remember, haven't listened to the last episode for week or so....

I'm quite sure at least a few of us heard it say something like "kill" or "get up" at 16:50. Maybe I was just imagining that part, but I remember that taking up a few of those 55 pages written about 40.3.
