Hmm... Truth!

What's the most selfish thing your character has ever done?

That's a hard one... Well... One of my characters found a magic forest and didn't tell anyone just because she wanted it to herself.
Truth or Dare?

Ah, I can sympathize with that. I'll take a Truth.

Who is your most annoying character and why?

Post by Lylyss on Mar 15, 2015 3:00:33 GMT
We'll, I'm in the process of creating a character who gets a kick out of being a victim. I don't want her to be utterly unsympathetic, but she's pretty annoying.
Truth or Dare?

Mmmm... Truth again.

If your character had an iPod, what songs would s/he have on her/ his playlists?
I'll have to read your reply in the morning. It's bedtime here. :/ Night!

Well the main character in the story I'm working on would probably have some rock songs with some slower songs, and some instrumental songs. Sorry I can't give any examples of the songs...
Aww, good night!

I'd do a Truth or Dare, but you're probably gone.

We can do Long Distance Truth or Dare--meaning it'll take a long time to reply, but it'll get up eventually. Truth or Dare, anyone?

Sounds good. I'll have a Dare.

xD Okeydokes. Write a scene/story using fifty five words. The first sentence must have ten words. The second has nine. The third has eight, and so on, until you're left with a one-word last sentence.
I'll take a Dare, btw.

Ouch.
Let's see…a good hard one…ah! Write an epic death scene for Essa Haniri.

Lol. Sorry. I can think of another one if you want?
Hee hee hee. This'll be fun. xD

No, I'll try this one. It'll be a challenge, but I'll try it nonetheless.
EDIT: Jaigen Rue peeked around the corner and aimed his blaster. Infiltrating the Ranger Citadel had been a definite challenge. He’d managed—despite the three Rangers he’d fought. And killed, since none would give up. He fired at the fourth Ranger. The Vangorin deflected the blast. She smiled, knowing, deadly. Jaigen’s side stung. Fire penetrated. Darkness.

Essa was alone. At night. In an alley. She gulped. What happened? Where are the others?They were gone. Disappeared. But how? Or more importantly, why? Perhaps Javez found a cantina. Maybe Athia dragged them away to look blasters. It had happened before. This wasn't the first time they'd been separated. There were plenty of logical explanations. Plenty of situations that turned in her favor. But somehow Essa knew that this time she wouldn't be so lucky. They're dead. They're all dead. Somebody had picked them off, one by one, and now it was her turn. Essa shivered. Started running. Fear laid an icy hand on her neck. This is it? This is how I'm going to--A long shadow fell across the pavement, eclipsing the moon, capping the alley. Essa looked over her shoulder and caught a glimpse of compound eyes, spidery legs and an a serpentine tongue. It flicked the air, tasting fear. Her first thought: CRUDCRUDCRUDCRUUUUUUDDDDDDDD.Second thought: Where's my blaster?She reached down for the handle, but it was gone, of course. Panic struck Essa like a bolt of lightning. Everything was a blur. The world condensed down to pumping legs, heaving breath and overarching shadow. Then the beast struck. Its first dart snagged her calf and she fell like a chopped down tree. Essa twisted around--just in time to see the beast bearing down upon her. THE END Meh. I'm not happy with that one. I'm tempted to write something better when I've got a little more time. Good job on your Dare, btw! That was a hard one. But you did real good.

Hey, what? A shadowy alley at night, plus Essa in an epic death scene, and Jorus wasn't there? There's an idea for your next one. But good work, anyway. Jorus: Bad dreams, Essa? Thanks! The requirements stilted my writing style a bit, but I managed. I think I'll put Jaigen (possibly changing his name to Jaegen) and the Vangorin in another story…for which I already have ideas.

Post by Lylyss on Mar 20, 2015 23:11:07 GMT
Lol! That's what I should have done! xD Oh geez, that'd be funny.
Essa: *flushes violently* *considers punching Jorus* *considers running from Jorus* *can't decide and so she just stands there, shaking* You. Dead.
Lol. I look forward to reading more, then. How's the book coming, by the way?
Truth or Dare?

Heheh. I've been considering writing a story like that from Jorus's point of view, and I also thought I could post it on the blog as a CaC2 Day Special.
Jorus: You just died, Essa. Welcome to Chaos.
Well, that thing I wrote is just a teaser, and its counterpart in Jaigen's story will be much more developed…and written differently. If you're talking about my OYAN novel by 'the book', then I'm at 14,000 words and still on the second chapter.
Truth. You?

Lol. Please do. Essa: *eyes bulge* Whhaaaaaaaaat? *looks around frantically* You mean I'm dead? And I'm stuck here? With YOU? FOREVER?What's the silliest thing Jorus has ever done? I'll take a Truth as well. But I'll have to reply later. We're going to our friend's house now for pizza night.

In that case, I'll start practicing being able to write Essa properly.
Jorus: It would appear as such. Unless you find a way out. *turns and walks away* Although I doubt I shall run into you often. *glances up at the eternal twilight skies* *voice softens slightly* I have other things to do.
Hmm…I've plotted out a lot of Jorus's history, including his years as a Padawan, but I don't recall plotting him doing anything stupidly. Maybe I should. I'd say, probably…falling in love with Shiebrynn. At first sight. At least, he kicked himself over it for a long time.
Your Truth: Which historical person would you be most interested in writing about?

Post by Lylyss on Mar 21, 2015 1:56:18 GMT
Lol. Let me know how it works out. Essa: *follows him, panting* Like what? Are we in heaven? Where's the endless buffet and all the famous people? Haha, well, it happens like that sometimes. I know a happily married couple who fell in love at first sight. That's a really hard question... Gorgo, maybe? I don't know much about her, except that she was featured in the following quote about her father, the ruler of Sparta: "King Leonidas died childless, leaving only a daughter, Gorgo, behind." O.o Basically that means she wasn't counted the King's child, just because she was a girl. I wonder how she felt about that. Truth or Dare?

Jorus: *glances back and raises an eyebrow* Who taught you about heaven?
So do I. At least, one of them fell in love at first sight.
Sounds intriguing. Yeah, I can see why you'd find that interesting to write about. And I'd question Leonidas's sanity if he named his daughter Gorgo. Well, I guess it's a different culture…
Well, I'm going to be going soon, so Truth. (And I think Leilani is waiting for you on Feathered Adventures. It's on the second page.)

Essa: *shrug* Granny. Lol. I know, right? Poor girl. What's your character's worst flaw? Ah, thanks for reminding me. I'm working on a CaC2 post at the mo, so I'll get onto that afterward. Sorry for poofing on there!

Jorus: *looks away* Heaven's gates are closed. Those in darkness go elsewhere…to Chaos, to Ruin, to Separation. Be thankful you aren't in Separation.
Hmm. That's one of the things I've been working on. One of Liel's worst flaws is his tendency to jump to conclusions. Bad conclusions.
Truth or Dare?

Essa: *nods slowly, pretending to understand* Oh. Right. *wipes her hands on her jacket, still a little shaken* Flaws are so hard to figure out. But that's a good one. Truth, please.
