lkh_lashouts | Book flog...sorta: Micah

This occured to me the other day, but I kept forgetting to mention it.

It's set up that in Bloody Bones, Blue Moon and I think in Obsidian Butterfly that since Anita is Jean-Claude's human servant, his mortal eyes and ears and representative here on earth, blah blah blah, she has to go through pretty much all the same protocol with the local Masters of the City/area as a vampire would. You know the whole, "Please sir, may I enter your territory? I promise not to kill you." Only as it's been proved in Bloody Bones and Blue Moon she kinda did kill people and in OB, even though Itzapapalotl was meant to be the scariest bitch EVAH, she gave Anita a hall pass because...she...*brain stops functioning* Because it's Anita Blake, right. Got it. *nods*

So...I'm wondering how it is that Anita can fly off to Philadelphia at the drop of ~~her undies~~ a hat and go a-zombie raisin' and not cop any shit from the local vampire populace.

This is probably a thing to be written up as LKH not thinking at all in regard to her world and how everything goes out of its way to accommodate Anita and her needs, but aside from the whole book being from Micah's POV, something involving the shit with the local vamps mighta made things more interesting. I probably wouldn't even mind if it's your standard:

VAMPIRES: le gasp! It is Anita Blake! *hiss & spit!* (because all vampires are French. ALL OF THEM.)
ANITA: I'm fuckin' Anita Blake - PH34R!
VAMPIRES: We le hate you.
ANITA: *~~shoots~~ sex-fus someone and gives them all the scary-glare*
VAMPIRES: *all run away, screaming and flailing*

Because I never get tired of that. NEVAH.

Or at the very least, in a future book, JC ought to cop a lot of crap in political ramifications from Philadelphia and its cronies because Anita went and broke the rules without anyone's permission or for a good reason.

But this probably will never happen, because Ms Hamilton is nowhere near as an attentive author as I am a reader.
