Kinda a bland title this week, I don't really like it - but it goes along with the econ idea of "THE" economic problem: unlimited wants, and scarce resources. It would be nice to live in Sprite's imaginary world where everyone has enough to eat and room to breathe, but unfortunately, that doesn't exist.
It was nice to update on time for once, too, even if it took me forever to wake up and do it this morning. xD
@Pain: The puppy comparison is pretty apt. I don't think Trick really has any intention on following through with her threat if she and Faun fail and Riven is not the cause. Shouting Sprite's name would be pointless, in that case. But if Riven did dare cross them...well, Trick has the best insurance possible. It was refreshing to write him as something other than a lowbrow thug, too. :)
@Lynxeye: Yep! I think another running theme in Vulpine is hypocrisy; we'll see some of it in Faun's chapter, from Sprite, but it's a lighter sort (she'll be angry about Sage risking himself to do a few things, when all she ever does is run off into one danger or another, haha). Trick claims to be above the influence of selfishness and the like, but she's just as manipulative as Tamber. Riven says all weak foxes are doomed to die, while ignoring his own failings. Faun's determined to overthrow the Skulk and shape it into something better, by killing off everyone he doesn't like. And they're all pretty much blind to these faults in particular, even if they're capable of acknowledging others. Quite the cast we've got here, eh?
Anyway, that's all for now. Seeya next Sunday!
