Well, I tried to do something different than the usual, “Uh, that person’s a hacker-she can get into the computer!”
Anyway, I’ve been throwing in Gen doing some magic as much as possible ‘cause I’ll need her to be a bit stronger at some point and I don’t want it to come out of left field. But while she casually throws out a line like, “I modified that spell” that’s actually a kinda big deal. And poor Michael has no idea yet...
And to explain why I didn’t have Finn actually contact Hayden (at least not yet)…look, I want Sage to have some kind of contact with him as much as the next person, but I’ve got a real problem with death in this world. When you’ve got reincarnation and people with super powers, death sorta ceases to have meaning. I feel like it’ll lose some of its impact, if not all of it, if I can suddenly have all dead characters popping back in as ghosts with messages for people. That isn’t to say I’ll never bring back a dead character, or that they won’t show up as a ghost, but that I want to keep that to a minimum. Plus I thought it would be that much sadder for Sage if she heard Hayden’s spirit had “moved on” to a higher realm and that he didn’t feel tied to the earthly plane. That’s harsh to deal with (welcome to Michael’s world).
