And you all hate me right now for cutting off Rain and Emily (sorry, that really was the BEST cut-off point).  Don't worry; we'll get back to them a bit later.  There's still lots of MarNel to cover this chapter, so let's check up on them for now.

A little note about Chanel in the second panel.  She mentions having sisters.  This is the first time this has ever been mentioned in or even out of canon (realistically, I imagine most readers probably assumed her to be an only child by this point).  But in my mind, I always envisioned her to be the middle child of three girls (the older being like 20-21, and the younger being like 6-7).  

I've never gone much into her family life at all, really.  And honestly, I don't know if I ever will.  It has been mentioned that Chanel's mother actually has no qualms with her daughter dating another girl.  Mostly, I included this to represent that there ARE actually accepting parents out there (not all of them are Mr. and Mrs. Strongwell).  But without the conflict there, I don't know if there's any necessity to bringing Chanel's mom or dad or sisters into the story.  Truth is, I can't currently foresee a situation where it's terribly relevant.  This is really just a habit of mine, thinking behind the scenes just in case I ever need it (I know every other bit part character's family setup too, but it'll probably never be relevant for any of them).  

Still, that one off-hand line of dialogue made me think I should at least clarify.  Maybe I will give her family a bit of development some time (truth be told, Chanel is actually one of my favorite characters, so I certainly wouldn't complain about getting to work with her more).  But we'll see.  Depends on how well something like that fits.

Anyway, back on topic, what's up with Maria?

Also, I've said this before, but I'm trying to raise money for SRS, and I'm still struggling with it.  If you can help, it would be most welcome.  If not, don’t worry about it. I totally understand (you don't need to feel bad or apologize if you can’t).
