fangrrl_squeesBefore I divulge the reason for the giggles, allow me to introduce y'all to celtx - a freeware script formatting thingummy. Just as I thought I was going to have to resort to MS Word...
The program's not perfect but it's free and, by gum, I can overlook quite a lot in exchange for that. Honestly, my complaints are teeny-tiny and more a result of my being so rusty, rather than any lack within the software. Fangrrl says check it out!
Now, on to the giggling.
Six pages in, six pages and Iago's already hitting on the new secretary. I shan't give away the secretary's reaction but, oh, that was far too much fun to write.
Unfortunately, I've had to slaughter some darlings from the original outline. It's kind of hard to have an exchange between two characters when you realize that no, really, one of them has to be dead. Daed-dead. Like, dead before the story starts. Sigh. Read on if you want to see what's already landed on the cutting room floor:

The door to UVANOV'S office swings open with enough force to THUD against the wall, and BLAYES stamps into the room.
UVANOV
What the - !
FX
A tumbling CRASH as BLAYES shoves a desk full of paperwork and hardware aside, accompanied by the ominous CLICK of a gun being drawn
BLAYES
Hello, Uvanov. Wish I could say it was nice to see you again - wait, no I don't.
UVANOV
(protests incoherently)
BLAYES
What's that? I can't hear you past the gun in your mouth.

Really, it's a lot of work to be this outrageous. But it's fun, too. Hence the giggling.
