current chapter word count: 11759 (it was down to 10658 after editing spiritual spelunking), then gained some from the scene in which Subaru receives word from the main estate regarding Ameru's whereabouts.
scene edited: spiritual spelunking (it lost approx. 1000 words and now sports a gecko with delusions of grandeur).
scene currently written: back at the hotel
scene completed? not yet; got distracted by research.
scene currently in planning: contacting Ameru
today's research: location & shape of Ameru's quaint little bookstore & flat, thus - shopping districts and mid-to low level arcades in Naha in or near Tsuboya, living quarters near by, locations / directions / distances in relation to other places starring in the fic (Prefectural Office Complex, the hotel).
startling discovery on Google maps once a location was decided: there actually IS a quaint little bookstore at that spot!!! With a cute owl logo to boot. Talk about scary.
Edit due to recent developments: I DON'T WANT A DARTH VADER MOMENT IN THIS STORY!
