Elfen High 2 (OOC 7, Closed, Humans Not Allowed)

[Nightkill the Emperor]

Ah, the Great Belgian/Dutch Pot War of '08.

I lost a shitload of weight that night, just by sweating.

Also, a young Crowley:

Holy fuck yes.

[Mavorpen]

Fuck You by Lily Allen is the theme song of my life.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

If D wasn't useful and Megan's son, there are around ten thousand things Sanchez could probably arrest him for.

Eleven, by my count.

Holy fuck yes.

I could pull off that hairstyle.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

I'm waiting on Liri to have some time to post to Alison.

I apologise for the weird ups and downs of the recent plotlines (Paris and Pele), but the various schedules of players involved in this didn't coincide beautifully with my own (Astro's school, Esty's tests, so on).

Hopefully this plot will go much more smoothly.

I can and do pull off that hairstyle.

It's not your fault mate.

Rest assured, I will be done within five days. However, I still have a few things to deal with, but at least by the end of next week I'll be able to gather the time to catch up with this.

You should take my advice about the vacation though.

Spoiler: John Dee is a vampire.

[Constaniana]

People living in sewers under the school makes me think of this.

[Nationstatelandsville]

Poor John Dee, what have we done to him?

[Nightkill the Emperor]

Poor John Dee, what have we done to him?

Hmm?

[Nationstatelandsville]

Poor John Dee, what have we done to him?

Hmm?

We made this poor man into one of the worst human beings to have ever lived.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

Hmm?

We made this poor man into one of the worst human beings to have ever lived.

Could be worse.

Could be Nixon.

Hey, fuck Nixon. He brought that down on himself for looking like the Penguin.

[Nude East Ireland]

Hey, fuck Nixon. He brought that down on himself for looking like the Penguin.

"I am not a crook. But I am a serial killer from the Andromeda Galaxy, disguised as one of you mortals. Guards, kill them all. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

[Astrolinium]

Hey, fuck Nixon. He brought that down on himself for looking like the Penguin.

"I am not a crook. But I am a serial killer from the Andromeda Galaxy, disguised as one of you mortals. Guards, kill them all. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

You and Jon have an unhealthy obsession with this man.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

The main reason Dee is here is because, according to the notes I wrote when restarting this last year, he was going to be a major villain and basically Crowley's Moriarty.

Then I forgot he existed.

RICHARD NIXON IS NO MAN.

The true ending to Elfen High.

While I get my IC shit together and write a post...

Nat, can I ask for your opinion on a certain literary matter?

Imagine you have two characters.

One is the designated protagonist, the other is a companion. The protagonist is not particularly flat or dull, and his overall character arch is a fundamental part of the plot, but he is also not that complex or interesting. In fact, in the very beginning he's a bit on the ignorant and offensive side.

The other character, the companion, is as three-dimensional as it gets. He has countless intricacies to his personality and background, and he is a bit on the unique side. You personally enjoy writing about this character. You enjoy writing about his actions, his quirks and his dialogue. However, his character arch does not necessarily fit the overall plot or its themes. In fact, a part of this character's arch would render a central theme of the plot irrelevant, and his evolution is not as radical as the protagonist's.

Would you dump the original protagonist and make the companion the new protagonist?

Yup. Writing should be done for your enjoyment, so forcing yourself to painfully watch your most favourite character pass as a mere sidekick is just sheer mental masochism.

Fellate your mind. Protagonise that companion.

Personally, though I can't guarantee results because I am unfamiliar with the work, it sounds like an Ahab/Watson kind of situation would work.

To elaborate - tell the story from the protagonist's point-of-view, but focusing on the companion. No one gives a fuck what Watson does, but telling the story from his viewpoint lets us see Holmes as others do and keeps him mysterious.

That is, unless you don't want the companion to be mysterious, at which point... well, I would have to read it, really. But don't force yourself into doing something because of any plans, or on my word.

The problem is that a deep insight into the protagonist's personal perceptions, preconceptions, thoughts and feelings is a central part of the writing, and I can't help but feel that this secondary character, though he would make a terrific main character, also serves as a great companion. But I think I'll figure something out.

Thanks, guys.

Now...to the IC!
