Lol, neither am I... I suppose I'm somewhat masochistic in stories, but in real life I have nothing to do with that stuff. Besides, it's really not about the torture itself. All of that horrible stuff happened, but the story itself is more about the psychological aspects of it. It's also heading out of that territory now, after the character's escape. She's working on reintegrating herself into life as rebel and folk hero, despite everything she's been through. I'm not crazy, really... my mother had me tested! :-P 

Ahh, ok on Joseph. I thought it might be after midnight somehow. Thanks.
