Quote: Walker, J. Marlo said: I was thinking of having Marlo run into Mudd in my last post, to begin to bring all the characters together somehow, but then I realized I have no idea whether Mudd is in England with the other characters or not, and that I wouldn't know what abilities Mudd would have anyways. So I went with what was already just happening in the story. There seems to be a convergence going on.
I'm still curious as to why there were U.S. marines in the mountains of Italy or France, or wherever Cicciotto was. It doesn't seem like such a mission would be publically authorized by any government, yet the news reveals outright that U.S. Marines were killed on Italian or French soil. I guess I don't understand why the soldiers were American in the first place.
Oh, if it is for that, we have a lot of US soldiers running around thse parts. There are many American bases in Italy.
As to why they were in mission, it is related to the second moon appearence out of the mountain. I don't know really what is it, because the true reason for it is to have Cicciotto constantly turning into a werewolf, and it was inspired by an episode I experienced a few years ago, when a misterious explosion happened in the mountains where I live, I was part of the rescue mountain service by then, and at some point we ran into military troops (Italian) that stopped us and I swear there was an American with them.
In any case, although Phil wouldn't believe it, I really love America, I wouldn't be on an American board if it would be different.
But American bashing in Europe is the sport of the moment, so I guess it's natural having characters reflecting it in the stories.
