Inner circle chat:
EvilVillain: Ugh, I hate InncocentVictim. Dibs on stabbing them!
EvilVillainBoss: Do we have enough sacrifices for the ritual? We need at least five to summon the Great Noseless One.
Big group chat:
EvilVillain: How many of your friends will be coming, InnocentVictim? I want to make sure I bring enough muffins!
Super secret chat:
EvilVillain: OK, everyone, remember: The chocolate muffins are poisoned, stick to the blueberry ones.
EvilCoconspirator: Are we absolutely sure that EvilVillainBoss prefers chocolate?
Do any of you read Midnight Society? It's about horror, SF, and fantasy authors telling stories round the campfire - at its best it's hilarious  |
Yes, the indents would certainly aid and abet reader comprehension. I was thinking that there are more than a mere handful of pages that do have 3 columns of discussions and how that would be best handled. I just need to chew on it. Hell, for all I know, maybe this is the best way (I honestly don't believe that...) but...
I will say that the remainder of the book, though, thus far, is a
Masterclass in revenge through authorship. :-)
