Vaught Ch.05 - WIP and Dropbox update

Added 2023-05-16 16:25:57 +0000 UTC

Hi all.

When last we left the Vaught saga, Elizabeth had gotten pretty upset when a family dinner went to hell. She cooked up a plan to get revenge on her husband which involved getting a bonus supply of Milktec Serum from her sister, half of which is used to work out some frustrations. Back in the present, Greg continues to verbally spar with her before beginning the next part of the story wherein an innocent reporter, Alice, is dragged into the madness.

But there already was a chapter five! Yeah, 5 and 4 have been wholesale mushed together for the moment. This new chapter five was initially going to mirror the preceding section, but that seemed a little too formulaic. Focusing more on Elizabeth's manipulation of Alice accomplished the same thing without stretching out to include a toss-away boyfriend for Alice to experiment with. Still, I debated whether I should push the scene further. For the moment I thought it would work better to leave room for Alice to grow in her desire for serum while also not lingering too long on this introduction.

Took a little while to get moving on this one since I had to review everything that got me to this point, but the actual writing was pretty quick. As usual, it's a WIP draft so expect errors and weirdly repetitive sentences and other oddities. Feel free to let me know your thoughts/comments in the replies or in DMs.

Meanwhile, I've updated the dropbox for 2023. My notification to do it at the start of April got missed somehow, so apologies if you had to scroll back through all the posts to get each one. Happy Reading!
