Quoted from mcornetto
You asking me?  Or everyone?  I don't mind if you are asking everyone.  I would like to hear what they say about them.  But I would like to see the dreams focus more on Shiva, maybe with some snake stuff because the second half of things seems to be going to the snakes.

In the next couple of real turns (not dreams) I would like to witness a snake devouring a dog.  And see mysterious trucks on the road that are filled with what looks like dead dogs.  I would like the absence of dogs to be noticed and I would like no more dog attacks.    

  


I was asking everyone.

Sandra

Wow!  Looks like the reigns are coming in.  Sounds to me like Mr. Cornetto has some ideas here.

Cool with me.

As for the dreams...as I told Sandra in my dream scene, I absolutely loved teh original dream scene.  So dream-like, for lack of a better phrase.  I'd like to see them go back to this, with no or very little actual dialogue.  More visual, imagery-thick...and just downright cool!

Interesting to hear what others have to say...

I'll throw my thoughts into this...I LOVE Sandra's "dreamy" dreams...fractured with the imagery she is so good at writing... Things that don't really make any sense but DO seem to have some hidden meaning...something like when we have a dream where we think of it all day or for a couple of days...a dream that sticks with us.

I love words and the fact that when the page is blank...there's nothing there until words are formulated in my brain. Those thoughts...rushing through my viens and out my finger tips, find "life" on the page.  

When people and places come to life...that to me is exciting.

Hm, no dog attacks. Are you reigning in all animal attacks or just dogs? Anything in particular you would like to see in regards to an attack? I'm gathering options for my kill. I have the general idea at this point, but I'm working to nail down the details.

What I mean is that the animal attacks got a bit old after the 10th or so.  So, what I would like to do is phase them out in the second round and have you guys put on your creative hats and do something different.  I would like for the second round to be more about snakes.  

I would like for the snakes to be eating the dogs and other rabid animals (making the snakes larger and larger) and I would like for there to be a notifiable absence of dogs. I would like to see the occasional mysterious truck heading toward Niagara Falls from all directions.   If we at least make mention of those few of things we should be able to bring this to a close with a story that makes sense.  

The trucks will come into play when we get to Niagara.  Once there we will meet a tribe called the Followers (though one of the reincarnated characters may be a Follower so we may meet them a bit sooner).  They have been clearing out the rabid animals and our interactions with them will predominate the last act.

I will tell you guys more about the Followers when we encounter them.   And anything you all would like to add to this would be appreciated.

Remember that if we take the next step with this game script then anyone who is interested can give it a rewrite.  We will pick the best of the rewrites.  But we won't be doing that with this script if we don't have a good main storyline going.  I'm trying to push us in that direction - it might but it isn't likely to happen without communication.

Cheers,

Michael

Fascinating. You really have put a lot of thought into this, haven't you? Throwing in some of those subtleties (and even some of the overtness) should be fairly easy for what I had in mind for my part. I'm hoping it will actually fit a single post, though I fear I might break the one post rule. I promise it'll be interesting enough though.

I agree with the dog attacks getting old.

I'm just waiting for Dana and then I'll begin with the dream.

Or do you think I should just write it now?

The trouble with my writing is that it often makes perfect sense to me, but I need to learn to make it more explicit for others.

Thanks MBC, I appreciate it. We're at a difficult point right now in the script. I think it's a critical point; so hopefully, the next few posts will force a lot of suspense and also be more revealing.

I thought you did a great job with the characters Orange, and you too Sandra.

I'll update the tracksheet when I get home from work.

Thanks again Orange for taking this impromptu turn.  

George it up next, starting round 2, and he has to use his kill.  Matter of fact everyone is going to be using their kill in their next turn.

The characters are growing on me. They feel like family and I hate to see anyone die. Ah well... two more shoots to look forward to.
