Business aside, my own inactivity has been partly due to the latest turn of the plot. Frankly, I'm unsure how to proceed with Brandt.
After Chris restarted the day, I was hoping that everybody's characters would take some time to process the events of "yesterday." The pacing lent itself to that direction, which in turn would have helped some half-planned events to unfold smoothly.
Now, we have a cataclysmic event taking place -- complete with the Smiling Man and a rapist janitor.
I was hoping for Brandt to remain in the shadows for a while . . . but he can't exactly ignore this.
