Hi guys!
I was gonna wait until the next part was ready before replying, but since it's taking a little longer than I expected (still making progress, though, don't worry!) I decided to just go ahead and say thanks for commenting, and if anyone is interested, here's an outtake from an earlier draft of this chapter.
“Well, Michel?” Susanne smirked at him. “What do you think?”
He blinked. He wasn't sure what he'd expected Susanne to show him in her office, but it certainly wasn't this. “Um...”
“I bet you've never seen such amazing cleavage in your life,” she gloated, leaning towards him. “They're real, you know; completely natural.”
“I—I'm sure they are,” he stammered.
“You can touch them if you want to,” she offered. “Just be gentle.”
“Well, okay...” The crystals she held out to him were nice and smooth.
Sadly, it was taking too long to herd the characters towards the plot, so this little joke had to get the axe.
Anyway...
Wait, what? Clark looked up at Suzanne? Is Michel in Metropolis?
Yep!
Oh, looky there. He got his marbles back. And Susanne didn’t even have to get naked. Sorry for figuring it out way back when
Hey, no apologies! As a matter of fact, back when I first got the notion that ASU would result in both of them having amnesia, I resolved to carefully maintain a pattern of "Clark's POV,Michel's POV, Clark's POV, Michel's..." as a subtle clue to sharp-eyed readers that "Clark's" chapter was suddenly happening in Michel's slot. Of course, by the time the story got to this point, the characters' personalities were strong enough that I actually had to suppress them a bit to keep the ambiguity...anyway, it was meant to be a bit of a play-along, so props for solving it quick (even if your biggest clue was "obvious plot twist" ;)).
