HOI! I'm not sure what the point of this SU is. But I'm feeling restless.

Spring fever has finally caught me--or have I caught it? Never mind. It doth not matter.

I got some decent progress done on Harlow today, mostly editing the prologue and writing a few new paragraphs.

I'll post the sketch(es) a little later.

ALSO I GOT A FREE DQ ICE CREAM COUPON FROM THE ORTHODONTIST! AND IT WAS YUMMY (the ice cream, not the coupon).

If any of you would like to read the updated prologue, honk twice.

JOHNNY'S DISH SOAPS!

I sketched a thing! I can't post it right now, but it's the first traditional sketch I've done in a while, and I really like how it turned out. Can't wait to share it with you guys!

I also have a headache but I'm glad I have a free period so I can rest and maybe take a nap :P. I have a history test next period and a state test in Science 7th period, but I'm leaving 30 minutes early to go the orthodontist. Convenient, isn't it? xD I think I should also drink more water.

Anyway, I'm glad it's finally Wednesday. The week is marching along at a steady pace, though slower than I'd like. But what can you do? I have musical practice again on Friday until six for "Full Disclosure" choreography and--(*jazz hands*) blocking!!! I love that song because I get to be a crazy lady.

Anyways, Imma take a quick power nap. Love y'alls.

You know dis taco boy's got his free taco--*trips over skateboard, drops taco, and breaks wrist*

Fre Sha Voca DO!

Happy Tuesday peoples. I wish it was Friday but at least it's not Monday. Or Sunday. Speaking of, it's still kinda weird not going to church even though I'm used to it. What was REALLY weird, though, was not watching General Conference. 

Currently, I'm running simulations to find a "cure" to malaria for Science class. Of course, it's all just part of the story, so I'm not actually finding a cure. It's interesting.

During choir the other day, we were taking a quick break, and my director said my friend could play piano, and then she let me have a turn. So I started playing Break From The Line, our show choir opener, and he just kind of came out of his office with this confused/surprised look and when I finished, he came down and was like, "I've decided that you're auditioning for show band too," and I laughed and said, "Okay, sure." Don't know if I actually will. But that's relevant because today we were singing one of our songs (Baba Yetu) and he showed us this difficult arpeggio that's not technically an arpeggio because two of the keys are too far apart. He basically told us, "And now to try the hardest piano part ever written. My hands can't reach that far!" And the same friend I was talking about earlier asked if she could try and her hands were too small, so she was like, "What the heck" and so I tried and it was no problem and they both just looked at me like O.o xD So the point of this is just that I have big hands for my age I guess. My director told me afterwards, "Yeah, you really should be a piano player." That made me happy

Anyways, that's it. How are you people???

FRE SHA VOCA DO!!!!!!!

I just wasted three whole precious hours of my life learning choreography I won't ever be using. That includes overheating to death due to fleecy sweatpants and a room full of 60 stinky, sweaty, hyperventilating, dehydrated bodies. Though it was fun watching my director dance on top of a table  And now I have "When You're An Addams" stuck in my head!

Haly and I have reached the momentous milestone of 250 pages of current roleplay (that doesn't count the stuff on the three different dump docs we have). I should send you guys some of the highlights!! Maybe I'll post some later if you guys feel like seeing it. 

I didn't find my Mira drawi---*realizes I have my phone right beside me*

*smirks mischeviously*

*digs in photos and fishes out portrait*

*emails to myself*

PERFECTION!!!!

I'll post both Hadley's and Mira's portraits (yes multiple--they both have two, a before and an after---though technically Hadley has three...) on my creative corner page thingimabobimajigger. 

I just finished a REALLY good book---actually, I just finished TWO really good books. The first one is "I Have Lived A Thousand Years" by Livia Bitton-Jackson (also known as Elli Friedmann), a nonfiction about the Holocaust. She's a survivor, and the book follows her story. The other one I finished is a fantasy fiction (hehehe) called Red Queen. The world is kinda weird at first, but just think of it like Panem kind of but more... monarchy-y. The story is incredible though and I just got the second book.

Anyway, I should go actually do homework (definitely not code for RP with Haly). I'll go post the pics in my creative corner now.

FRE SHA VOCA DO!!!!!

Hey guys! It's been a hot minute.

Spring break was awesome, and I got a lot of drawing done. My anxiety was almost non-existent over break, and I haven't felt depressed for about two weeks now which is amazing! I really needed this 

So two of the drawings I did are of my OCs--one was a Mira redraw, and the other was a Hadley redraw. I know I have the Hadley one, but I'm not sure if I've got the Mira one on my laptop... *cannonballs into the archives to search for the lost artwork*

I'll post them as soon as I can fish Mira out of my files. 

What did I miss while I was away? Probably lots of important things. I should really scroll through my notifs 

I guess that's what I'll go do! Thanks for being awesome you guys!

Okay, I know I just posted a status update like two seconds ago, but!!! I've been working a lot on my prologue and wanted to see what y'all thought. I think it's pretty jazzy (*cough cough* @Shining Silhouette *winkwinkwink*) so far. 

OH! AND LISTEN TO LOFI!!!

Prologue


 

Late summer leaves rustled in emerald-shod trees, a stale wind combing its fingers through tall grasses that would soon dry out. Stray chickens roamed the plains, some chased by feral cats while others quested for food. The twilight burned golden as the sun fled from the battlefield that was the sky, bleeding lava as it disappeared over the Airedge mountains. Soon, a slice of moon stoically stepped up to shine in the sun’s place, watching the stars dance around it in their nightly ritual.

Below it all, a young girl–barely 12–stared at the ceiling of her small Riesen home, hands fidgeting restlessly with her fluffy dark ringlets. Mira’s mattress was coarse and itchy, the blankets kicked to the foot of the bed in tangled heaps. Her heartbeat was heavy, her body hot with anxiety and anger, yellow-orange eyes burning like hot coals. 

It felt like a thousand years had passed since she’d lost control; it was impossible to believe that it had only been mere hours. Images flashed behind her eyes and her body groaned in protest as she sat up against the wall, trying to shake memories of the burning archives from her mind. Millennias worth of knowledge… gone. It was a crime like none that had ever been committed, even if it had been an accident. What would they do to her? And what were they doing with Arson? They wouldn’t just kill him; she knew that. They weren’t allowed to kill him. …Right?

She was jolted from her thoughts as the door to her small bedroom slammed against the wall, and a tall, dark-haired woman with intense eyeliner and high cheekbones swept into the room. Her long robes tickled the floor, and Mira couldn’t decide whether the silk was black or purple. 

“Get up,” the woman barked, eyes narrowing sternly. Her hand lashed forward and yanked Mira up by the arm, her claw-like fingernails digging into Mira’s skin. 

The girl yelped and tried to plant her feet on the cold stone floor. “Where’s Arson?”

The woman clenched her jaw and dragged Mira down the hall. A sudden dagger of realization stabbed her chest and she tried to scramble away, but to no avail.“You can’t Strip me!” Mira screamed, her voice high with hysteria. “You can’t make me go!” 

The clawed woman snarled and prowled closer, her grip so tight that Mira’s tan arm was going blue. “You will remain silent, Dethridge, unless told otherwise. Do you understand?”

She whimpered.

“Speak up!”

Mira nodded largely, the motion taking place of the beats her irrepressibly afraid heart missed.

“Good. Now shut your insolent mouth and do what you’re told.” The woman whose name Mira was terrified to ask yanked her outside and down the gravel path.

The night air was frigid for the summer. But as a chill skittered down Mira’s spine and shot through her whole body, she realized that maybe it wasn’t cold outside at all. Feverish sweat beaded on the back of her neck. Shivers forced goosebumps to pop up all over her body. She felt her heart pounding in her ears. Her fingers were tingling fiercely, on the verge of numbness.

As they turned the corner, a sudden wave of nausea punched Mira’s gut when she saw what awaited her.

Okay, I'm leaving now cuz I have to pee. o7
