valarltdHave I mentioned this recently?
This absolutely brilliant man, with a junk heap trivia memory, has just informed me that the age of majority in Alabama is 19.
As Alabama hosts Birmingham, the capital of the CS, this will be the law of the land.
He also caught a huge flaw in the world building: the strict theocracy which isn't prosecuting and executing minors down into single digits. He suggested reform school. Run by the churches to "reclaim the lost lambs before they can become black sheep."
How much trouble could Nick get into with a reform-school pounding the Bible into his head and teaching him useful things like typing and filing? Now we know how he got the document-clerk job on a 3rd grade education. Also, it gives him another weapon to wield against the general public: Christian Charity. He knows how to evoke it.
I think I want the religious undercurrent running through. Definitely need to play up a couple of threads that are already there. And I had a thought, as I came close to calling him "Old Nick" and Mom asked why I had used "Nikolai" as his gang name. *eg* oh yeah, this will work. I'll rewrite over the holidays. I have to get![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
