   break
I wonder if people get the wrong idea sometimes when they see that Straight Guys Are Hot logo? I hope the Fight Yaoi With Rock under it clears it up better. I can't try to explain it more then that or I offend people without meaning to. I don't like yaoi, that's the simple message. Anyway, I'm going to take a break from the character exposès for today. I couldn't really find a character. I was going to do Ah-nee but that'd either be incredubly long or extremely short. My hand is starting to hurt from typing those big long things everyday anyway. I'm not saying that this will be all that short though.

So, I don't have class tomorrow. Most likely that'll mean I'll do hours upon hours of school work then instead of splitting it up evenly. I can't even remember what my work is. I know I have a lot of it. I've got two or three short stories to read in English and write papers on. Yeah, writing papers the first day. They're only supposed to be a page long but they're about communication and in-dept junk about the stories. Oh no, they might actually be poems instead of stories! Great, poetry is my biggest down fall. I had an 'A' in my last English class until poetry. Failed that whole section so passed with a 'C'. I think I'm supposed to be doing Algebra everyday but I forget where we left off. I don't listen very well in that class. I think I just have to do research and prepare for my oral report on the Onodaga tribe. I hope that's it because I didn't write anything down. Class was at 8:30 so I wasn't all that up. And I hope we just have to read two stories in Anthropology because that's all I remember her saying. Florescent lights, white walls, white board, and neon papers, I felt a bit sick when I left the classroom.

Well, enough about classes and work. The bad work, anyway. I'm going to talk about the good work. I got on my typing computer and copied everything from before Epic onto my laptop. Anastasius and Ai haven't changed too much. The story I was writing before Epic was going to be a lot darker then it was. I was really sad, so I chucked it and wrote the elaborated version of the backstory with Onitane. I hated the dark version and the elaborated version, but I like the unwritten actual backstory. The dark version though started with the near end of the elaborated version. Ai was lying there dying and asked Anastasius to just finish him off. Which in the dark version you never see if he doesn't. Then it goes back a couple weeks to three year old Aleksei asking Anastasius why he didn't have a daddy when everyone else in the village did. The whole thing just felt sad. The elaborated version at least had parts where Ah-nee thought Koji was taking to him instead of Aleksei. It's funny, I kept their ages all the same. Koji was nineteen, Ah-nee was sixteen, Ai was seventeen, and Aleksei was three. I kept putting four in the elaborated version but he's really not four. Almost four. And I found fractured scenes of Anastasius and Emre from when they were five and thirteen. That was from me trying to get a feel for them. Jeez, Ah-nee was such a brat. My favorite scene is him all hoving around Emre while Emre's polishing a sword. He wants to hold this massive broadsword and Emre says he's too little right now but he'll let him hold a kunai. Ah-nee calls it stupid and steps out of the room. He messed up his hair, sits down in the hall, and starts crying. When Ratri comes to see what's wrong he tells her Emre picked him up and threw him out of his room. Emre's trying to stay calm and just says he didn't but Ah-nee keeps crying so Ratri just looks all disapprovingly at Emre. And Ah-nee grins wickedly as they walk down the hall. Oh man, and then you add a young Ai. Ai was just as bad except he was smarter. He's getting Duscha in trouble for things he and Ah-nee did. He's not respectful to Teseo or Ratri. He calls them Teseo and Ratri. And he gets a little snippy when Teseo dies. I guess you can't blame him. Teseo was the third person he lost and he was only ten. You have Emre, Duscha, Indigo, and Alethea all sad and talking about how they don't know how they're going to get through it, and what about Zephyr, and Ah-nee standing there not believing any of them. Ai just says something like you just get through it, he's going to his room and wants to be left alone, and starts to leave. And Indigo says that their mother told them not to leave and he snaps at her. Just says that Ratri's not his mother and leaves. He's the one that gets through to Ah-nee though and gets him through the whole thing. He probably got all of them through it because he, other then Ratri, really knew what they were going through. Oh my gosh, Ai has living grandparents! Wow, I totally forgot about that. That'll be interesting. And I found Anastasius's first responce when he found out Ai was a killer. And his first responce to the first time he kills. When Epic starts his kill count is a flat zero, but you can't be a ninja chasing a demon and not kill anyone. It's impossible. I'm all prepared for that. I really like the responce to finding out what Ai was doing. I don't know why I didn't put that in the elaborate version. Probably because it was too Japanese orianted or something, but he does find out about Ai's evil on Hogosha so it could still work. It's like one of those rare times you see Ah-nee's got more to him.

Alright, now getting away from the Epic stuff. I haven't touched Mirror Image since about Thanksgiving. I started working on Epic stuff and my Epic stuff is on my laptop where Mirror Image is on my typing computer. I just transferred myunfinished chapter to my laptop so I can finish that one up at least. I want to keep MI on my typing computer but I can't type in my room in the winter. No heat. And my story that has no story but just characters, the one with Dice and Mica, I got that info off and put it on here. I finally finished the four area place names. The four bosses are Mimic Avast, Snapdragon Rambler, Mica Masters, and Gyasi Wickersham. Mimic has Sohm Avenue, Snapdragon has The Iron Gate, Mica has La Maison de Folie, and Gyasi has Dusk Tavern. Dice Rebels is mostly the main character in this. He's allowed to go everywhere but he won't go in Dusk Tavern. Innit Llewellyn rarely leaved The Iron Gate and when he does he's on Sohm Avenue. Mica scares him so he refuses to go to La Maison de Folie (the house of madness). And you're an idiot to step into Dusk Tavern. Maggie Saentes (Magpie Foxcroft-Saentes) is allowed everywhere except Dusk Tavern. Dice strongly advises him not to go to La Maison de Folie, so he doesn't go there either.
Sohm Avenue is the town's main street. It's full of hotels and casinos. Mimic is the mayor so this is his territory. The dupty mayor is Procyon Rhapsody. Miss Corner Seamounts (the town) is Limerick Maelstrom. The hidden martyr is Miriah Cinis. Mimic stole her from a traveling priest. He's trying to get her well again but it'll never work. She can't even talk anymore.
The Iron Gate is one half of the town. It has a big iron gate to keep tourists out. Not very creative on Snapdragon's part. His second in command was Dice but Dice went freelance. He still lets the terror trio stay in his half of the town since the other option was La Maison de Folie.
La Maison de Folie is the other half of the town. It has a very vibrant and cirrcus-y feel to it. It's super creepy. You get people dressed up as clowns and mimes in there. A few as large bunnies. Mica is dying and as a result he's doing anything he wants. He has a great fondness for what is beatiful, pretty, cute, or fuzzy. He wants it and he'll get it. Everything is a toy to him. He loathes Dice and wants to eat his liver while he watches. The second in command is Beryl Masters.
Dusk Tavern is this small little tavern on the outskirts of the town. It's full of sad, depressed, weak, and sick people. They take a seat at the counter and never leave. Every night Gyasi the Exacutioner shows up, shoots a person, and leaves. That's why you'd be nuts to set foot in there. If you want to die, you go there. Gyasi's a bit of a loner. You don't need a mob for his job.
I meantioned every character in this "story" except for Branch Moriarty and Nightingale Foxcroft-Saentes. Nightingale is the "badguy". Really, she's a good guy but with everyone else morally corrupt she's the badguy. Branch...he's just sort of there right now. He'll be in big trouble if Dice gets his hands on him. Dice is essentually the "Devil". Charisma leaking out of his pores and a grin that makes you lose all reason. And he'll lead you astray, if it is astray. I'll get back to the character exposès tomorrow. Everything Epic related is copywrite The Unsaid Works. Everything else is copywrite Blue Swallow Productions. Have a nice day.
