*wry* No, Justin's the Jareth like one. "Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave"?

I think... I'd have to go back and re-read with special attention to all the parts involving characters we have, but. Maggie can be shuffled out of the way shortly after the first few chapters, with Eb. Elaine doesn't have to enter into it at all. Harry and Thomas survive, albeit worse for the wear. Lara wasn't in it. Mostly it would affect, it seems like, Molly and Murphy, Harry and Thomas. So I'd say you guys need to figure out if you want to integrate it or not.
