First: Thank you so much for coming out of lurking and for such a long and thought-out comment. Really. I'm not freaking out as badly as I was this morning but the reassurance still helps, a lot. Particularly on characterization, because I am constantly paranoid I'm getting it wrong.
Spot on on Dan's head-Rorschach. He needs *something* - we all have a voice in us that tells us the things we don't want to hear, but he's had Rorschach to do that out loud for him for a long time, and when that's gone, it leaves a gap that needs filling. Also, there's a kind of superstitious-thinking thing going on where as long as he's still got his voice, then the real thing still exists somehow.
Very, very awkward. Because Ror remembers everything that went on. And he's not exactly long on self-control at the moment, due to the rushing-back-in of everything that the brainwashing took away, which will make for some interesting aftermath. *coughs*
And, oh yeah, there's no way you could snap someone like Ror out of mind control with sappy shit like that. Hadta be violence. XD
