Hey guys, I've been thinking over ideas for the next post, and I think the best way is to discuss it over at the writerpad. We need to decide:
- What sparked it... something someone said about their captive? Something the captive said to intentionally cause trouble? Maybe he tells Bell that she is Spoiled now, and one of the other characters says "So what, being Spoiled isn't the worst thing in the world", then someone says "Yes it is" and then we escalate the argument.
- Which two characters the fight began with - I suggest two that have particularly strong views and aren't afraid to stand up for them. So Kinwe is out, but she will say something during the argument to help reinforce the idea that she is definitely purist. Hehe
- What info we will reveal about the social roles of purists and spoiled in this universe. This is a good chance for them to share experiences about their lives as either Purists or Spoiled.
- What caused the end of the argument? I would like it to be unresolved, but they are suddenly cut off by a new threat or mission and have to work together straight after this argument has pushed them apart.
I think that those ideas sound great. Also, if that argument breaks out, it will be especially hard on JJ, who will definitely re-visit memories he'd prefer not to. He may break down or say something very out of character for him, and it could startle the group that the clown has such a heavy past. Something like that. Perhaps after the argument, everyone will be brooding and locking themselves in their rooms or whatevs, but an emergency pops up that they all need to work together to resolve. Then there'll be tension not previously experienced, which could be very serious in a difficult mission. Just an idea.

That sounds good @etherealember. Personally, seeing as Del had that flash back about her brother, she'll be very touchy about it and probably blurt out things she shouldn't. She is obviously one to fight. She might be the one to say "yes it is" as the drug Bell took was unknown to what it would do much like the one her brother took and she would probably voice her opinion on drugs being bad. I suggest putting our ideas on an EtherPad.
Before you judge me... Make sure you're perfect.

Oh, so, Dom wouldn't WANT to get involved in the fight, but if somebody said something that just completely enraged her, like, "Drugs don't hurt you," she would freak out, and most likely bud in her opinion, then just full-on get into the argument.

I think that was when I began to realize that reputation isn't everything. I should focus less about how others perceive me and more about what makes me happy. Because, in the end, I have to live with myself. — Seraphina
