<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Chapter 3: The Meeting<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Indiana sat in her town, watching the
town go through its motions. Charlotte would bat her eyes at Simon, while
saying something flirtatious, and therefore making his cheeks crimson red.
Nothing else would happen and Simon would merely change the subject. Simon
would return to work and Charlotte would get Indiana. Her mother was getting groceries.
She would say something racist about whatever race was helping her with them.
Then she would complain about how everything is just not like how it used to
be. All Indiana would think is “I never thought it would be appropriate to call
someone a…” and she would insert the term.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Even if the day took a shift from the
norm, that would mean yet another, as her mother called him “good boy”, on a
single bended knee asking for her hand in marriage. Indiana’s father always
told her “Those boys aren’t for you. They are for the girls who can’t do any
better.” So she did. She always sought to do better, and she always did.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
The problem was that Indiana thought she
wasn’t beautiful. She wore her hair tied back in a side braid simply to keep it
away. Her skin was darker than the pale-faced people of her hometown in
Illinois. She was white, but her skin just got so exposed to the sunlight more
often than the girls around her. She had had fairly large breasts that were a
huge burden to her. No number of corsets could support them enough, and binding
them to pretend she was a boy was a nightmare.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
She hated wearing multiple corsets just
so her midsection would be as small as the girl built like a boy. She wanted to
leave, find better things about life and live them. There would be no nagging
husband beside her telling her to be home by eight, no nagging mother, no prim
sister, no stupid inventor kid. Her entire life would be perfect.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
When she was pondering this, another
suitor came to her side with a bouquet of flowers. He got on a knee.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“I’ll stop you there.” Indiana said.
“The flowers are done before. The fact you get on your knee for me means that
one person in the relationship will have power over the other one and I just
don’t want that. Furthermore…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
A mysterious man on a motorized bicycle
with a brown leather jacket ripped onto the scene. Indiana’s eye was
immediately caught.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
The boy was still pleading “I would
cheat! You could cheat on me!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Indiana didn’t look at the boy. She just
walked to the mystery man, giving him an uncompromising stare. He shook his
hair out. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Who are you?” Indiana asked.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“They call me Tristan.” He answered. He
asked “Who are you?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Indiana Cedoris.” Her tone was in the
most confident way possible.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“You look adventurous. I like that.” He
noticed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“I am compared to these girls.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Do you want an adventure?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Yes, but what would you know about
adventure?” Indiana asked.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“I’m a certified sky pirate.” He
responded, as if it were the worst possible thing someone could do with his or
her life.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Is it amazing?” Indiana asked, throwing
his tone to the wind.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“If hanging around a bunch of drunks and
collecting lightning and contributing to our carbon footprint is amazing.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Is being an adventurer like that?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“I don’t know. I don’t have my license
yet.” He smiled as he answered, as if he was telling himself a joke only he
thought was funny.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Get your license and I will join.” She
was almost a little too excited when she said those words.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
There was a small pause. Tristan
mentioned “If you are going to be the only girl on a ship otherwise full of
men, we are going to have to get to know each together.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“You mean marriage, don’t you?” Indiana
asked seeming very annoyed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“No! I can barely stand still. I can’t
think of spending my whole life with one person, it isn’t me at <i>all</i>.” He answered.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Oh thank god! There is another person
who hates marriage.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“I guess if I meet the right girl, but I
haven’t found her yet. I am not going to wait for her to have fun either.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Same here, only with a guy.” Indiana
agreed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“I have been a sky pirate since I was
ten. I have mainly been raised with people who keep themselves away from
society. I need a new family pretty much. I need to be around people I can
trust.” Tristan told her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Tristan, whether he liked to admit it or
not, he liked to be around stable people and people he loved. He excelled in
self-disclosure. The important things come first. He liked closeness. Indiana
on hand was more secretive. She waited until she had the close relationship to
reveal too much.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
She said “You can trust me.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Have you ever lost anyone close?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“No.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“I lost my dad and my mom was distant.”
Tristan spat out.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Granted, I don’t allow many people to
get close.” Indiana admitted.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Tristan asked “Why?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Indiana never got this question from
anybody, so for a couple of seconds, she froze. Her brain was searching through
all of its information to find a witty retort that would change the subject.
The effort was useless, for the question dug at her very soul, and for once the
person asking the question was fully interested.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Charlotte saved Indiana. “Indiana! We
have to go home!” She exclaimed in a somewhat scolding manner.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Indiana asked “Why?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Because!” She interjected.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Simon is off break?” Indiana guessed<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Yes.” She admitted under her breath.
She added with more confidence and her normal volume “And the last thing I need
you to do is converse with… adventurers.” She said “adventurer” like she was
calling him an “adulterer” in Puritan New England.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Tristan calmly explained. “I am a sky
pirate.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Suddenly Charlotte was mortified. She
curtsied. “I apologize for my impolite behavior, sir.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“My name is Tristan Verne, not sir. I am
a resigned sky pirate.” He explained in further detail.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Charlotte, while ignoring every word he
said, asked “Isn’t it rewarding to collect the lightning we use for power? Coal
miners feel the same way, I assume.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Charlotte unleashed the energy
conservationist that lived within Tristan. “I much prefer alternative energy
sources.” His claim started soft. “My motorcycle can be powered three different
ways, by trapping solar power, trapping wind power and trapping my manual labor
energy or using coal. In all the years I have had my bike, I never once used
coal on it.” Is evidence showed a deeper opinion. “Coal and lightning aren’t
worth it! What happens when one day when there are no lightning storms? There
will still be the sun and the breeze!” He argued. He hit his argument home when
he exclaimed “I would not be a sky pirate if my life depended on it now! It was
the most boring way I could live my life. I would pick the degradation of being
an adventurer every day to the misery of being a sky pirate!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Charlotte, shocked, backed away from
Tristan. “That mocks the very sanctity of our lives and the way we use energy!”
She exclaimed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“It should.” Tristan said, as he got on
his motorcycle. He told Indiana, proudly “I am going to get my adventuring
license. Where is town hall?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
She nodded. “The big building that says
Town Hall right behind you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Thanks Indie. I can’t wait to have you
on my team.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“You’re welcome Tristan. Anything for
an…” Indiana hesitated “A sky pirate.” She corrected.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
He drove off to town hall. Indiana was
interested in him. He didn’t have the tainted idea of gender roles people
normally had. He didn’t want to tame her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Charlotte smiled. “He called you Indie.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“So what? We are just friends. I always
wanted you to give me a nickname and you
never did.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“So? He is male! He has to love you!”
She bubbled over with her own gossip potential.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Oh Charlotte, I don’t <i>care</i>! If I die alone in a hole I
wouldn’t <i>care</i>! I don’t want a man to
look after me! I can just as easily look after myself!” She exclaimed
passionately. “If Tristan Verne loved me and I loved him too, I would date him
and we would eventually be married. Any other instance with any other man would
not work. I don’t fawn over men, expecting them to eventually succumb to my
beauty or lack thereof.” Charlotte tried to interrupt, but Indiana didn’t let
her. “I would run up and kiss him. If I couldn’t do that, he isn’t worth it.”
Indiana explained.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Do you mean Simon and I?” Charlotte
asked.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Of course.” Indiana answered.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“We need to go.” Charlotte defended.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Sure we do. You are avoiding the fact
you never acted on him and that he isn’t worth you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Indiana, shut up.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“He isn’t! He has great dreams but he
will be boring when those dreams fade away!” Indiana exclaimed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Indiana, lets go.” Charlotte seethed
with anger<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Alright. I’ll just conform.” Indiana
said, starting to take the route home. She smiled. “Mom will be happy to know I
found a male I actually get along with.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
The two laughed as they walked home.<o:p></o:p></div>

In all honesty it is a horrible musical. It is a space filler. I am going to post Indiana and Tristan eventually. I am procrastinating.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Marc, we need to talk.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Marc- Of course we do. It started as a peck but she wanted
to go for tongue so we did.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Goddamn it, that isn’t what I came for. I came to
tell you something important in a Ben Folds song that now seems moot.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Marc- Sing it anyways.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(Dylan nods and cues the music Get Your Hands Off My Woman.
One cannot simply censor this song. But one could try. Dylan gets way into it.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Marc- How is that moot?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- I don’t love Lydia. Well if you are going back to
Virginia, it applies. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Marc- Okay. That kiss was amazing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Did she put her arms around you?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Marc- Yeah.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- She doesn’t do that with me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Marc- That sucks bro.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Sucks barely covers it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- Dylan Lydia and Marc kissed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- I know. Want to do a real duet with me, or a solo?
(Marc leaves and no one notices)<o:p></o:p></div>

Virginia- I think there is a song that you need to sing.<o:p></o:p></div>

Dylan- I love you too.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- Yet I barely know you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- I think the things you don’t know about me are small
things. I love Chai tea. I am a Libra. I am a nerdfighter and my favorite
author is John Green. My favorite Beatle is George.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- DFTBA.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- What about you?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- I am a workaholic.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Great. I can balance you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- You always balance me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(kisses her. The two are blind to Lydia walking in. They are
involved in the kiss)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- (whispered) I love you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- Why in the world are you kissing her?<o:p></o:p></div>

Dylan- I love her!<o:p></o:p></div>

Lydia- You are cheating on me!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Sweet sacrilege.<o:p></o:p></div>

Lydia- We are through.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
(Marc and Lydia are kissing onstage. Dylan and Virginia are
holding hands, watching them.)<o:p></o:p></div>

Dylan- (whispered) I made the right choice.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- I did.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Marc- (onstage) I love you Rachel Berriman!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- I love you Flynn Hudson! Gleek club would never be
complete without us!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Marc- Finn and Rachel would be proud of us.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- I am so glad I am not part of this.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- It can only be so good when it is a satire of Glee
attacking the fan base.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Too much 80’s rock.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- It isn’t over yet.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(The cast, dressed as characters from Glee all come together
and sing Don’t Stop Believing.)<o:p></o:p></div>

Narrator- Dylan and Lydia were having problems already so
Virginia getting into the midst of this was not going to help and Marc would
only complicate things.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Why do you spend so much time with him?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- He is my kind of guy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- You mean dumb?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- No, I mean mysterious. I mean makes me laugh and can
be romantic in a serious manner.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- I am a more of a funny guy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- I know. I love you, but I want a serious
relationship.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Do you mean…?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- No. I mean something that is deep and passionate.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- I don’t do deep and passionate.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- Uh, yes you do. Virginia.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- She needed me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- Of course.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- I love you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- Pick a duet.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Okay. (He strums I Don’t Wanna Know by Fleetwood Mac,
but it is more like the Glee version.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- I think you should see other people.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- That implies you are already seeing someone else.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- I am not. I just want to.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Like you just want to end your sentence in a
preposition.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- Yes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- I love you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- You betrayed me.<o:p></o:p></div>

Dylan- I love you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- You think you do.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- I love you more than I love my guitar. I love you
more than I love Ben Folds’ music. I love you more than anything.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- Enough to not be friends with Virginia?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Yes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- Okay you get another shot.<o:p></o:p></div>

(Virginia sits at the lunch table by herself. Dylan comes
over.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Lydia wants me to not hang out with you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- Oh god.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Relax. I told her yes, but you need me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- You would go against her for me?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Yes. Lydia can’t know.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- I feel so special.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- You should. I came all the way from the auditorium to
get here just to sing with Regina Spektor slash Virginia I Don’t Know Your Last
Name.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- Morrison.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- I am Ben Folds slash Dylan Robinson.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- Lydia would just keep her last name right?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Lydia Moonbeam is more pretty than Lydia Robinson.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- What did you want to sing?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- I don’t know. Something us.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- You’ve Got a Friend?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Too friendzone. Maybe I should sing something to you.
(plays if I Needed Someone and sings to Virginia. She sings back-up. The two
continuously look at each other.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- Are
serious?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(Dylan leaves.)<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
(Lydia enters)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- Really? He was here, wasn’t he?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- You heard us?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- Of course. How couldn’t I?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- I don’t know.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- You are stealing him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- I could easily say the same thing with Marc.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- You two broke up. And it was just one kiss.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- And you are telling me I am in the way?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- I like Marc. It was a stage kiss.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- You two need to leave each other.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- You have got to be kidding me. You are telling me
what to do.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- You ignore confrontation and ignore when things
are blatantly shoved in your face!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- I still don’t waltz around with other people’s
boyfriends and sing songs!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- He called me his Regina Spektor. They never had
any romantic relationship but…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- (broken) I know what he meant. (runs off stage)<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Prologue<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Narrator- She was a stressed nerd, who wished life could fit
in a graphic organizer. He was a nerdy musician, who wished life could be
better for everyone. She was waiting before school for a project partner. He
was there to cheer up girls like her. They both loved the White Stripes. He was
a Libra. She was a Taurus. He loved school for the people and interactions. She
hated school for the people and the work. They both loved the Beatles. He was a
tea person, and she, a coffee person. He was into nerdy girls and she, into
actors. They both loved Ben Folds. These two seem like two normal people, bound
to meet. That is true. But a story isn’t simply about the action; it is also
about the circumstances. This is their story.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Scene 1- Courtyard<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(Virginia rushes onstage, with papers falling all over,
wearing an oversized backpack full of stuff, to get to the center stage table
and stand there.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- (angry) I am going to shoot Charles when I see
him! First he doesn’t work in class, and then he doesn’t email me his work,
then he texts me telling me to come early and <i>of course </i>he is late. I hate group projects! This Civil War project
is merely a big graphic organizer and he can’t email me the work he did so I
can add it onto mine! Ugh! I hate this! I hate my nerdiness! (Calming down,
slightly) I guess nerds always do all the work and only get half the credit.
(She sits down, plunks the papers on the table and recognizes she left others
behind, so she picks them up, comes back to the table, and sits down again.) My
life was so much easier last year. I had a boyfriend. I had a life. I had
friends. I had no homework. I had a life. I had dreams. I had a life. I had
straight A’s. I had a life. I had a life. I had a life. I had a life! Not only
did I have a life I had the life! I had a boy who is the goofy weirdo in the
school play. I had no stress whatsoever. I had no problems! (She plunks her
head on the table)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(Dylan comes onstage playing We’re Going to be Friends, by
the White Stripes on his black acoustic guitar. Virginia looks around. Dylan
smiles at her.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- White Stripes. They are known for harder rock, but I
like the relaxing sound of the guitar on this one.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- Oh. I like The Hardest Button to Button. (Dylan
plays the guitar part with tapping his foot to the beat.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Me too. Do you like any Ben Folds?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia-Yeah.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan-What is the song by him that is the most soothing for
you?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- Adelaide.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- (smiles then plays the piano part on his guitar.)
What is up that you are here so early?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- I am here to meet Charles for a project.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Which one?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- Joseph.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Oh he is a pain to work with.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- (sarcastically) No!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- You can manage it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- How do you know?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- I have heard from Marc.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- (fighting back urges to release her feelings) Are
you in drama club too?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- No. I play for them. I have a girlfriend in tech.
Apparently no one else is fluent in pretty much every instrument he or she
picks up.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- How is he?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Normal, unlike what Lydia tells me you normally act,
and a little bit of him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- Well she got all religious on me and he got
distant.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Lydia has the Wiccan thing on grips a bit more. Marc
isn’t my girlfriend, thank god so I don’t know about him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- (stifles a laugh) I think it is weird I told you
more in five minutes than I have told all my friends in months and I don’t even
know your name.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- It is Dylan.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- Virginia.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Nice to meet you. Do you want to sing something
together?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- Sure. (Dylan plays an acoustic version of You
Don’t Know Me by Ben Folds and Regina Spektor. Virginia sings Regina’s part and
Dylan sings Ben’s part. It can be censored.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- You have a pretty voice.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- You too.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- But I guessed you weren’t a singer. You had to have
guessed I lip synced for your boyfriend.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- Of course. He sounds like a dying cat.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- (laughs) He does. I am a guitarist with fracking
pitch!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- I like your curse alternative.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- I heard it on The Big Bang Theory and use it all the
time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- I like you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- You don’t know me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- Lydia told me all about her perfect guy. I can
only assume you fit the description.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- She wanted a Metallica-loving Goth/punk rocker. I am
an alternative rock kind of person who is calm.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- I noticed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(Charles rushes in.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Charles- Sorry I was late Virginia! I only got the causes
done.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- You have got to be kidding me! You were
responsible for the <i>course</i>!! Now you
will never know what happened at the Battle of Shiloh!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Charles- What <i>did</i>
happen?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- How the hell would I know?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- I know.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- What?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- The North won and it was this battle that showed more
modern techniques we call total war.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(Charles is scribbling this down.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- Thanks, Dylan.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- No problem. I want you to be my friend.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- Of course.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Charles- We only have to turn in one so…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- You were wasting my time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(Lydia enters and taps Dylan’s shoulder. He smiles a crooked
smile as he turns to greet her.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- (fake dramatically) Lydia.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- (in the same manner) Dylan. (Dylan kisses her
passionately, swung over and tongue.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- (smiles a real smile and both stifle a laugh) I love
you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- I love you too. Marc’s lighting is all fracked up so
I have to get the right light.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Cool. Don’t let him steal you away from me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- Marc is nice.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- I trust him… somewhat.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- Oh hi Virginia. Speaking of people we sort of trust…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Hey! She is nice!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- Yeah. Wait until she hurts you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- You hurt me. Everything was about Lilith.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- Wiccan.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- That <i>was</i> a
little annoying.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Marc- Lydia, you are the understudy for that romantic part,
right?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- Yes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Marc- You are her now.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- But, she kisses you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Marc- Exactly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- (to Dylan)There is nothing to be jealous about.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Marc- Hello Virginia.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- Hello Marc.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Marc, you have it out for me don’t you?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Marc- Maybe. (leaves)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lydia- Dylan, you and I will talk later. (leaves)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Well I am in trouble. I think it was totally worth
it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- That is good. Marc is going to kiss Lydia.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- This is going to be one hell of a play.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- If Lydia wasn’t there…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dylan- Don’t worry about her. I don’t know you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Virginia- Okay. See you later (both exit)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Charles- What the hell just happened? (lights go down as the
scene changes)<o:p></o:p></div>

This explains the way that Indiana's town is set up. The town center is industrial. The agricultural land is on the outside, then there are houses, then many many shops and then town center.</div>

This is Tristan's jacket, though this model looks nothing like Tristan.</div>

This happens three times in the story where he gets really mad. Once with his crew, once with Charlotte and once with Mrs. Cedoris at the very end. Tristan is a great character that only improves.<br />
<br />
When I first came up with Tristan, I knew I needed a leader and I knew I needed a nice guy, someone who I could introduce as a love interest. Tristan's first name came from the movie Stardust, which features sky pirates in the light I thought about them. His last name -Verne- comes from the great Jules Verne.<br />
<br />
Indiana is not in here, but her town sure is! I will show pictures of what Tristan's jacket looks like and what Indiana's town looks like.Violet Alderlovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12204433484369966323noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1666326852092478543.post-30157999740358062662012-12-08T22:28:00.003-08:002012-12-08T22:28:23.803-08:00Chapter 2: Tristan

Chapter 2: Tristan</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Tristan Verne was
the ship’s captain, and therefore he was in charge of the ship left to him from
his father.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
At that moment,
standing on the highest look out point of the ship, the wind whipping his hair,
his father and even his crew were the last thing he thought about. It was the
type of clear, beautiful day that occurred infrequently, and he normally would
want them to occur infrequently. Sky pirates caught lightning, so normally they
would want weather to be full of thunderstorms, so they could catch lightning
and make money. Lately, though, the weather had been <i>so</i> full of thunderstorms that catching lightning had become a daily
activity. This made Tristan recognize he was not in the sky pirate business to
harvest lightning. He was in it for the thrill, because as he was recognizing,
he was a born adventurer. He lived for each day, never regretting the last and never
pondering the next. He would usually go off course onto an interesting island
so he can have an epic battle with a female villan and end up using his lips as
his best weapon.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
He prided himself in
his sharp wit (which he used to lead his crew properly) and strength. He was
ruggedly handsome, but acted like he thought he was a beast and not a beauty.
Any woman would love him for that. If Tristan could find a girl who did not
find him attractive for the fact he was a sky pirate or just naturally
handsome, he would easily fall in love her. Any man on his crew would say
Tristan is his hero, mentor and savior, despite the fact Tristan did not feel
like a hero.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Tristan was eighteen,
compared to the average age of about twenty-five in his crewmates. This was due
to the fact his father owned the vessel originally in Ottawa. Before he died,
his father sold the ship to some people he knew in Toronto. When Tristan was
about fourteen, he decided to work for
the people who had bought the ship, and try to get it back. The capitain
decided to let him pay it off. For everything he would get paid for, he got the
satisfaction he was one paycheck closer to owning his father’s ship. In two
years he had worked it off. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
In two more years he
was already bored with it. In all reality, the interesting and exciting parts
for Tristan was not catching lightning, but rather, going on extra excursions
and missons. It was all he ever cared about, and it wasn’t even his job to
care. When he thought about this it made him realize that there was only one
time that he truly loved sky pirating.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
It was a rainy night on
the Sky Maiden. It was Tristan’s first time on a sky ship while the rain,
thunder and lightning boomed against the ceiling, like gunfire. He hadn’t even
been out on the Sky Maiden when it was drizzling, and this night was close to a
hurricane.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Tristan’s father ran
into Tristan’s room. “Tristan! Do you want to see me work?” Mr. Verne asked.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“No, Father. It is
scary outside. I am afraid of lightning.” Tristan answered.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Afraid of lightning?
Blasephemy! I know my son and my son can catch lightning with his father.” Mr.
Verne responded.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“But I am afraid!” Tristan
defended.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“You will have to face
your fears someday. Why not today?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“I’m not ready!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Well, I am putting my
foot down then. You are going and that is final.” Mr. Verne responded.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Tristan reluctantly put
on his rubber rain boots and raincoat and followed his father outside.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
He felt like he was on
a batllefield. The raindrops were bullets, dropping against his face, with the
sounds of thunder bombs dropping in the background. Then there was the enemy
that needed to be captured- the lightning.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“You hold the cup in
one hand and the cap in the other!” He exclaimed, handing Tristan the cup. It
was made of glass and at the bottom was aluminum. The top was aluminum too. “On
a night like tonight, you just keep the jar out and ready to catch! You can let
some water get inside, it is a good conductor! ”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
The bait was the aluminum. The trap was set.
Young Tristan heard the thunder of another lightning bolt. Another came, almost
concurrently. Tristan saw the enemy on his camp. The bullets were flying in his
face, so he couldn’t see very well and the sound of bombs made it hard to hear,
but the enemy took the bait, and Tristan deployed his trap.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
He slammed the lightning jar shut. He
peered though it, watching as the little light bounced up and down, the rain
still going as hard and as fast as ever. It was all worth it to see that
beautiful piece of nature become bottled up, like when a child catches a
butterfly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Tristan was proud of himself at the
time, but as he grew older, he started to ponder if free things are put out
into the world to be captured, or to be let free. This made him think about why
he was capturing the freest light and bottling it up to be sold.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
He knew even more that this wasn’t right
for him at all. He was in search of his crew to let them know the news, and
only the steering person was working. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
He thought as he scoured the ship, “Of
course when I want to land they all sleep. They <i>always</i> sleep. They don’t do <i>anything</i>.
Honest to God I need a new crew. I am no longer the mystified eight-year-old I
once was. I need to go into town, get an adventuring license and go <i>do</i> something worthwhile. I want
excitement and fun. I need to adventure as my main job.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
He found his crew, unsurprisingly all in
their beds at noon.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Tristan bellowed, “Get up you sloths!” All
startled awake. “Now you will all land this ship with me. I am quitting
lightning catching for adventuring.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“But sir you don’t have a…” One started.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“A license? I am a captain of a
lightning catcher squad. They would give me the world on a silver platter.”
Tristan interrupted. The crewmates dispersed. Tristan went behind the wheel
(the wheel person took a nap). The majestic wings of the Sky Maiden spread out
to allow for a majestic vehicle to descend onto the earth.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Tristan exited the ship with his motorcycle,
destined to find his destiny in a small town. He passed miles of farmland on
his motorcycle. He also recognized the town’s shape was somewhat circular, and
since the houses were in front of the farmland, the more he went in the more
industrial it would get. This was true.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Tristan’s motorcycle was very unique. It
could not only run off of solar energy, it could run off of the windmill that
would pop out in the back if Tristan pressed the wind button, it could run off
manual power, or it could run off of the power he very infrequently used. This
power was gas. Tristan never believed in exploiting what nature left us in
fossil fuels to fuel things when there are more efficient ways.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
It was made from brass, there was
intricate detail in the way he manipulated the metal to cover the parts, but
look like it was part of the gears and gadgets to make it work. Tristan did
this all by himself when he was sixteen when he was on sky leave. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
It was a bright, beautiful day so
Tristan used his solar power. It was nice to Tristan, though it didn’t change
his look in the slightest. He still wore his off-white button down shirt, brown
leather jacket (the only animal skin he would ever wear) and jeans that weren’t
too tight or too loose. His shoes looked like leather, but were actually
animal-friendly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
His hair that matched the jacket was
longer than it normally was. It was about half way down his neck. His facial
hair had grown out a bit too. He normally kept up with his shaving, but he
liked to keep it scruffy. He was not the more feminine look of the clean-shaven
look or the fully manly man beard look. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
His eyes were a warm blue. His skin was
very tanned, but he was white beneath it all. He worked out frequently and had
the muscles to prove it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Tristan wanted an adventure and would
stop at nothing to get one.<o:p></o:p></div>

I was thinking Journey to Arsenic Island, but the "Journey to" thing is when most of the story is the journey, which is not the case in of my stories. So Chapter 2 hopefully will be up tonight.<br />

When I am done (projected date sometime this month) I will go back and type 2 to the end. I probably won't post the end, so email me at hrtgirl1990@gmail.com (if you are interested)Violet Alderlovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12204433484369966323noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1666326852092478543.post-89257050280830274782012-10-27T19:47:00.000-07:002012-10-27T19:47:04.808-07:00Origin Stories- IndianaIndiana Cedoris is my grandma's great grandma on my mom's side (or something weird like that). I have no historical representation of her, especially considering this is another view of what would have happened in the future. I just knew she lived in Illinois.<br />
One day, I decided to wear a full side braid (a Katniss braid if you will) and I thought of her. I dressed a little like a farm girl that day, so all day I felt like I was Indiana. (At the time I couldn't remember her last name.) I got home took my current Facebook picture, and decided I needed to make a character. So I did. I like her.<br />

I am not Indiana, but I am also not Charlotte. Each represents an aspect of me. I always prefer my characters like that.<br />
This isn't specifically a romance story, but it gets there.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Indiana Cedoris
was an eighteen-year-old rebel in small town. She never could wear those
infernal skirts and corsets, both signified bondage. Indiana longed to be free,
though she never quite knew what she longed to be free <i>from</i>. She assumed it was the small town in which she lived. All the
girls were to behave, wear skirts and be good girls.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Indiana thought
herself bigger and better than a mere good girl. She was smarter than a whip.
She could make a witty retort to anything, in mere seconds. She was strong
inside for that ability and the ability to show no emotion.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
She was strong
physically since she helped her father with the farming. Their parents never
got a boy, so Indiana had to go plow the fields and then come home to be a lady. Her
father was also a toymaker, so he would go work and Indiana would have to go
work on the farm. Her mother taught her how to sew dresses and mend socks, but
she figured out how to sew pants. Pants were looked down on for a young woman,
so she wore them only when she was in the fields.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Indiana hated
imagining she would have to get married soon to some man. She had already
gotten many offers, but all from men who she didn’t know. Most of them she
didn’t care to know. The few she knew were men she simply had no interest in
whatsoever. She knew there would be someone to change her mind one day, but he
hadn’t come along yet. She was saving her heart for someone special, though
many townspeople called that feminism.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Her sister,
Charlotte was much more traditional. Charlotte never understood Indiana, even
in the simplest of terms. Charlotte never comprehended why her sister would
long for more than doing the chores around the house, sewing and trying to find
a husband. Charlotte had her heart set on her future husband since she had hit
puberty, about six years ago. She had never acted on her emotions, but she
also had no intention of ruining a good friendship.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Her crush was on
Simon Adams, Mr. Cedoris’s apprentice. Charlotte described him as a “smart,
handsome, hard-working tinkerer” in her <i>least</i> loving words. In Indiana’s <i>most</i> loving words she described him as “a
kid with a head full of gears and parts.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Simon, to many,
was a sweet boy who any girl would be lucky to have. He was skinny and tall. He
was usually covered in soot from working on certain projects. He always used
coal to power his larger scale projects. His black hair had a natural puff to
it, and the more stressed he became, the more his hair rose. His goggles were
always on his forehead, unless he was working on an invention or more likely
working at the toyshop. Usually, it was the one clean area of his face.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Charlotte could
only assume Simon loved her back, since he would blush as she would bat her
eyes. He would always show her his new inventions, and she would always have
faith in his inventions. Simon always enjoyed her company and loved how
sweet she was.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Indiana thought
about this as she put on her dress to go to town. She always got the most
coverage in her dresses. She wore a dress with three parts that were sewn
together, each a different shade of gray. (Her mother taught her to think of
each layer of a skirt or extra something she didn’t particularly like as a part
of the dress or another dress, sewn in to that one.) The bottom was a simple light
gray dress, that was a turtleneck gown. The next layer was charcoal gray. It
also included what Indiana called a bib (a frilly white garment with buttons
that is in the bib area) though the two were not connected. The top layer had
the same light gray. Indiana would have loved a simple dress in her closet,
nothing so fussy. Indiana’s frills and such were black.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Charlotte wore a
pink and white, off the shoulder dress that had frilly sleeves and a layered skirt. Indiana was disgusted, not only by the frills, bow and lace, but
by the amount of baby pink. Charlotte also wore her hair in a soft, feminine
side braid, which only used a little of her hair on one side. Indiana, on the other hand, wore hers in a
full side braid, using all her hair.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
As the two left ,
their mother was busy mending Indiana’s dresses and getting the stains out of
Indiana’s dresses. Indiana heard her mother mutter as she walked on by
“Indiana’s stains are almost as stubborn as her.” She was trying to lift a dirt
stain from Indiana’s best dress.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
The two were going
into town to give their father his lunch and to deliver some crops to the local
market. Charlotte went straight over to Simon, leaving the two tasks to fall to
Indiana. Charlotte planned to be there at exactly Simon’s lunch break, so she
could talk.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Hi Charlotte!”
Simon called.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Charlotte called
back “Hi Simon!” She ran over towards him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Indiana fled the
scene as quickly as possible in her lady-like high heels. Her father was busy,
so she left his lunch on the countertop. He was probably hand-making a toy car,
since everything was homemade in that store. Simon was perfect for the job
since he had thin fingers and the mind of a tinkerer.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
She then took the
crops and sold them for about twenty bucks, which she stuffed into her corset
as she called to Charlotte, who promptly ignored her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Indiana wound up
sitting on a bench, waiting for her sister to be done. Simon was showing
Charlotte a new plan for something that Indiana did not care about.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
The sky ships would pass through and get
people excited beyond imagination. They would allow the mind to dream of
adventure in stark daylight. The enormous ship, intricately designed, made
Indiana understand what she was missing for all of these years. She needed to
be free like those sky pirates. She needed adventure. She would be able to die
or marry (same thing) happily if she could have that experience. She also figured she didn’t
have the experience or the body parts. Normally they expected men, and picked
men. If a girl like Indiana had the passion and drive to be a sky pirate, they
would consider, but she was a long shot.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
It was clear now.
She wanted to be a sky pirate.<o:p></o:p></div>

I only have written three chapters, but I honestly love it. Tristan is such an awesome sky pirate and now has quelled one of my issues regarding Steampunk, actually my only issue, everything is run off of coal. So, Tristan uses alternative energies, mainly water (also popular during the industrial era) and solar. Indiana is a tough girl, bent on breaking the chains of her society. She does not want to be a farmer or a seamstress. She wants to be an adventurer. Tristan also longs for more adventure than merely collecting lightning. I am looking forward to someone else enjoying this story too.<br />

It is Steampunk (though I recognize that means little to anybody). It is about this girl named Indiana Cedoris who is very rebellious to society's view of how women should act. She is this amazing character. Right now I am thinking of a plot having to do with sky pirates (the most awesome thing about Steampunk).<br />
<br />
Okay, so Steampunk is what writers like HG Wells and Jules Verne thought the world was going to be like now. Since they are both from the Industrial Revolution, everything runs off of coal or water. There also are ideas like sky pirates that are just awesome. They are flying ships! That is straight from a child's dream! Normally top hats, metallic looking materials and pipes are distinctively Steampunk.<br />
<br />
This story also incorporates an agricultural aspect. The area surrounding the town is farmland. So, there is lots of juxtaposition.<br />

My Dmitry character is based VERY loosely off of this real-life designer. They both have the same accent (I actually studied real Dmitry's accent so I could have it in my head when I was writing my Dmitry). They both are good dancers and the similarities stop there, despite the fact they have the same spelling and everything. Anyways, I thought real Dmitry's victory would give me a chance to explain where my Dmitry came from.<br />
<br />
I didn't truly decide I needed a character named Dmitry until I watched Anastasia again and the longing for a character of that name just came too much to bear. For weeks I was trying to cram Dmitry into Carson and Lucy, but he just wouldn't fit, so I came up with this idea I had been trying to do ever since I started writing- the wizard school. I also had to break-up with my boyfriend to get this overwhelming surge of "what do I want in a guy?", so the night I broke up with him I made a list, which wound up being a non-instument playing and Canadian version of Dmitry. In the end, I wound up writing this character who I am proud to call my favorite.<br />

Charlotte's favorite song. :)Violet Alderlovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12204433484369966323noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1666326852092478543.post-12839361331668685722012-10-05T19:07:00.000-07:002012-10-05T19:07:02.549-07:00Chapter 2 WarningsDmitry and Charlotte are just friends for a good week or two in the story. At this point, the two are just developing an interest in each other. They are finding things in common like their mutual love of Chicago (I will post the two mentioned songs) and Dr. Seuss.<br />
<br />
Dmitry plays sax, but most of the music is old stuff every one should know, like in this chapter he plays "New York, New York"which is not really his style. It is the Frank Sinatra song and frankly, Dmitry would like more Chicago.<br />
<br />
Dmitry is Russian, and is just working on his English, so occasionally while speaking, he will screw up. The actual writing style will still be that of an AP English student, since he has always had better writing skills and enough time has passed when he is writing, he is a master of the language.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
I was new to Salem
High. My parents sent me from Moscow to enter as a junior, so of course I was
apprehensive. I was far from home (though my home wasn’t the best place in the
world, it was still home), but it was the only way I could foster my talents.
Not only was it the only Wizardry and Witchcraft school in the world, it also
had a renowned band program.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
I was always
introverted. I made friends with the characters of <i>War and Peace</i> in their native tongue better than real people. I
could read huge novels such as those in a matter of days. I eventually got
around to some English literature, which in my heart I knew was not as good in
its translations, so I started learning English. It was difficult, but I knew I
had succeeded when, after six years of studying English, since I could read
“The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” by: Washington Irving. I had already been
interested in English when I first started listening to a band called Chicago,
and then I decided to try translating the lyrics and trying to comprehend them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
I played the
saxophone and loved every second I could play. I got a very similar feeling
when I could lift all the objects in my room using only my mind. It made me
able to skip from where most newcomers, regardless of their actual place in
school go, from Wizardry I to Wizardry II. Technically I should be in my third
year, but I didn’t know how to use force fields yet. If I knew I had that
power, I would’ve used it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Thinking about
force fields and the ability to levitate made me wonder why we are taught
physics. I am a master of it, like all of my other subjects; I just never understood
the point when clearly a wizard could make a table resist gravity. I could
control force to shield myself. A vector for something like that would be
impossible.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
I suddenly
recognized my head was in another world, so I focused, until it found yet
another world to reside. The girl I saw looking at me had a beautiful mix of
green and gold in her eyes, making a brilliant hazel. A pair of silver glasses
shielded them. Her hair was brown, long and well kept. I felt a mysterious connection.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
The connection was
explained when I got to Magical Attraction, another class in which I was one of
the few juniors and my second period. It was the equivalent of a health class.
It talked mainly about relationships and sex. Most of the class was just foul
and disgusting (especially the middle aged man who wore sweaty, short gym
shorts and called himself coach) but he described a feeling in which the class
learned the person with whom your path is intertwined forever. It was supposed
to be something of a spark, a sudden realization that the person is interesting
and will make a great partner. I found that spark with that girl and I didn’t
even know her first name.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
I was fairly
fluent in my English, but saying I wasn’t totally fluent yet (which was
somewhat true, since I wasn’t immersed in the culture) allowed me to not talk
very often. Teachers rarely put me on the spot, since I was pretty fluent but
with an extremely heavy accent. I had read lots of literature, so my reading
and writing was up to par with everyone else’s, but my spoken English, not so
much. So, I would have talked to the girl, had I known she would understand me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Band was next,
which meant a period of unadulterated tenor saxophone. I had auditioned already
for the music teacher, Mr. B, who loved my “insane talent”. I just practiced a
couple of songs in my book, some classic jazz pieces. It had so much Sinatra. I
am not totally opposed to playing “New York, New York”, but there are other
(better) songs. I convinced my band back home, that Chicago is a classic. I
must admit that I did a lot of convincing back home. Jazz isn’t their first
choice. Good classical music is their first, I convinced my music teacher to
use some jazz, and that way the brass section could be heard. I still droned on
with the notes, in sync with everyone else. I still felt more liberated than
back home.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
The bell
eventually rang, cueing for the class to be over, so I walked to Broom Flying
I. She stood there, we were lined up by
first name, and I was apparently close to hers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
She introduced
herself. “My name is Charlotte Holmes.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“My name is Dmitry
Petrov.” I introduced myself in the heaviest accent possible with still being
English. The “v” has an “f” sound.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“I love your
accent. Russian right?” She asked.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“I’m from Moscow.”
I responded.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“That is awesome.
I am from Vancouver.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Were you raised
with English?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Of course. French
also. I love hearing people with accents.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“That is great! I
have a very heavy one. I am not used to speaking.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“I can’t see any
differently. You just have a pretty voice is all I am saying.” She responded.
“And already you are more interesting than half the people here.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
I smiled. She was
even more charming than I could have ever imagined. I knew she would be a great
person to meet and like, even if she wasn’t going to be my love. I already knew
I liked her regardless.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
The teacher showed
everyone how to levitate the broom. No spell required it, even for witches. My
broom easily flew itself into my hand. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Charlotte noted,
“You are good at levitating.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Thank you. You
haven’t seen me lift up a room in a thought.” I responded, showing off without
being narcissistic.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
We all flew around
for the period. I really enjoy flying. The wind whipping through my hair feels
relieving. (I have my hair cut short and it still feels that way.) The feeling
you may die just makes the blood pump quicker. I felt like a bird. I worked on
my turns mainly, since the feeling of eminent death only increases when one is
headed straight for a tree.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Charlotte and I
did not talk much during the rest of the school day, until I happened to see
her on her way to her dorm after school. There are two huge buildings one after
the campus. On the other side there is a fifties diner type thing. I tapped her
shoulder. She stopped and smiled at me. She took out her iPod ear bud. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
She was a little
surprised. “Hi Dmitry! I was just listening to my favorite song.” She
exclaimed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Which one?” I
asked.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“’Saturday in the
Park.’” She responded.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“I love Chicago!”
I exclaimed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
She smiled. “So
few people appreciate it.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Try living in
Moscow.” I countered. I was just being witty<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
She laughed. “What
is your favorite?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“’Does Anybody
Really Know What Time It Is?’ is my favorite.” I responded. “The saxophone part
is great, I should know, I play it.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Oh my god! You
play saxophone? You are now the most awesome person I know!” She exclaimed
loudly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“I play very good
too.” In that comment I made the fatal grammatical error that set me apart.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Well.” She
corrected, in a very nice way. “Many people make that mistake.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“My English has
been going very well so far.” I responded.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Good. I would
like to have lunch with someone other than my gay brother, so would you want to
eat with me?” She offered. “You know, and practice your English.” She added.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
I nodded. “I just
sat alone.” I responded.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“You are too
awesome to sit alone.” She responded. She started walking, so I walked after
her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“So does that mean
we are friends?” I asked.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“We both need friends, and I enjoy hanging out
with you. So yeah, I guess we are.” She responded.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“I have never
really had a friend.” I admitted.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“You’ve got a
friend in me.” She responded. I smiled. She asked “So friend, what do you watch
on TV?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“I am a book
person.” I responded.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Good, I only
watch three shows. What books do you like?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Classics. I love
‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow’.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Me too. I love
classics.” She admitted.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“What is your
favorite book?” I asked.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“I must admit I am
a sucker for George Orwell and Dr. Seuss. I memorize lines from those books
like some people memorize Shakespeare.” Charlotte responded.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
I laughed a bit.
“I do the same thing. ‘A person is a person no matter how small.’”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“‘Horton Hears a
Who’ isn’t nearly as good as ‘The Lorax’.” She told me. She cleared her throat,
and in her best Lorax voice she quoted, “ ‘I speak for the trees!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
I nodded. “You
have a nice Lorax voice.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Thanks. I always
loved the Lorax.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“I always felt
like Horton, just a lonely elephant talking to a speck of dust, with the world
against me.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“I guess I always
felt like a Lorax, only my brother was always the tree.” She admitted.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“I am not a
homophobe.” I told her. I meant it; people are people no matter what, which I
learned from my favorite Dr. Seuss book.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Good.” She
responded, as she arrived at her door.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
She hugged me. I
didn’t quite know why, but I enjoyed it anyways. It was even a little awkward,
until I just hugged her back. It only
lasted a couple seconds, because it was a friendly hug.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
She told me “Bye.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Bye.” I echoed,
as I left for home.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
This was the start
of a great friendship.<o:p></o:p></div>

I hate books with Puritan references, but it is much more esteemed. I reference The Salem Witch Trials. Elizabeth Hubbard was one of the main finger pointers in that and Mrs. Hubbard (in the story) is her daughter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
I also make a reference to one of those stupid books about Puritan New England or about how crazy the beliefs of the colonists were (not life, liberty and pursuit of happiness more like ghosts, witches and headless horsemen). This one is a lot less stupid, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". I read it over the summer and it is referenced quite clearly. I will explain most of the story later on, but right now, all you need to know is "The cognomen of Crane was not inapplicable to his
person. He was tall, but exceedingly lank, with narrow shoulders, long arms and
legs, hands that dangled a mile out of his sleeves, feet that might have served
for shovels, and his whole frame most loosely hung together." and he has "long snipe nose, so that it looked like a weather-cock
perched upon his spindle neck to tell which way the wind blew." A weather cock is that thing that spins to tell which way the wind is going, like in Mary Poppins.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
There is a gay character, Valentin, who is perfectly fine. He has a boyfriend, Harrison, who he falls for in this chapter. It is okay. Don't lose your head.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I think that is it.</span><br />
