Rules 1 to 5
Use of the Guide
Rule 1: Don't mention the Guide to Derek or Casey.
- They aren't aware of the existence of this Guide and the authors, for their own health, want to keep the secret.
Rule 2: Don't use the Guide against his actors.
- To be clearer, NEVER use the information of this document to harm the family in question here (George, Nora, Marti, Edwin, Lizzie). Maybe they are ok with the idea of this Guide, but they can change their mind (and it's you who would pay the bill after that).
- For the special case of Derek and Casey, even if they don't know the Survival Guide, we warn you: they are very touchy (to be nice in our formulation).
Rule 3: Don't upset Derek or Casey.
- Nobody wants them as enemy. As stated above, they are very touchy, but it's not all. They are very imaginative when we talk revenge language, especially Derek. Though Casey makes progress all days; she knows how defend herself (no choice with Derek as stepbrother).
Rule 4: Don't critic Edwin or Lizzie.
- They are the authors, your messiahs when you are in hostile territory. And they are your best allies against the tyranny of Derek and Casey.
Rule 5: Keep the Survival Guide under seal.
- If you're surprised with the compromising document, it will be burn (and, you, you'll burn with it). And you don't want that, not if you love life. The Guide is your best friend, but if you are discovered, it will become your worst enemy. Watch your back, guys.
