Ffffffffff, well written, Berrod.

...I'm throwing myself into the running with Roen and Zhavi for "slowest writer ever". Vote Melkire 2014.

In my defense, Natalie is a jerk.

And now, for my own safety, I hope RNG is kind on the next one.

NEVERRR.

I WILL win this race.

Hm. I wonder how Zhavi and I will stalk each other simultaneously.

And Kink is a great read. *doing research*

It's like I'd written it myself, right down to the survivor's guilt portion. Tongue

This is quickly becoming canon in my head. I'm trying to work on another portion for yours, too, but I keep getting derailed.

The only problem with the little scene I've constructed is that I can't figure out how to advance it here without dragging in other people. Perhaps I just need to stalk the RPC more for clues. x_x

...this has been a great thing for making an IT job more interesting in the slower hours.

RE: Writing Challenge! (First) - Warren Castille - 08-06-2014

In before it's everybody EXCEPT Warren. Including Crofte.

Na, you've taken the measure of the man perfectly!

How have we not RPed before? I have a suspicion Val and C would get along famously...

Not quite a sequel, but definitely another part.

Show Content

Spoiler
Franz missed the climate of his home every day right around midday. The reason for it was obvious, and it was the damnable sun that seemed to press its face down into the sands of Thanalan. Not even the many, many shaded walk-and-alleyways of Ul'dah did much to help diffuse the dry heat that settled in. At least the air wasn't stale.

He'd only been trying to go from point A to point B; Point A was the house where the crazy woman and her mate lived, and point B was the best place to get cool drinks and a good meal at midday. Franz didn't want to deviate from the script too much. Dumb things happened when plans were derailed, and he wasn't in the mood for excitement. Too many mornings spent waking to cannonfire on account of the word.

He tried to convince himself that he didn't hear the cry. Lunch was juuuuust a couple hundred yalms away but the second one, this one much clearer and definitely of a woman on the verge of tears, drew his attention. The alleyway ahead of him had a split that ran off to the left and the voice was clearly coming from there. He still thought he was going to ignore it until he heard the man.

"C'mon, ya dumb bitch! Don't think I won't cut ya! Now let's have a peek!"

Franz tried to rationalize it. Probably someone getting what they deserved. Back alleyway? Idiot-sounding male? Probably some dumb tail who bit off more than she could chew and was paying for being a tease. Franz repeated it to himself as he was about to pass the mouth of the alley. He almost believed it, too, but then he heard the wet sound of meat-on-meat and a soft scuffle. He knew she'd been hit before she could cry out. Franz mumbled to himself before reaching for his axe and turning the corner.

**

The waitress set down a steaming plate of food. Odd choice for the day's weather, but then again it was always hot in Ul'dah. She shrugged and started to turn away, but something on the man's shirt garnered her attention.

"Is... that blood?" If bubblegum existed she would have popped a bubble.

"Oh. Probably. Not mine, though." The grim man gave her a trying smile, wishing she would just bugger off and leave him to his meal.

Someone should write me and I'll try to reciprocate. I figured I should involved myself somehow before I move to the next one.

Someone's got until this pile of paperwork is gone before I go about doing just that.

Another excellent snippet. I suppose we're all left to wonder whether he simply offed them all, helped the girl, or simply swung his axe around for some "entertainment"?

*thinks hard* Gotta episode 3 today. Somehow.

RE: Writing Challenge! (First) - Warren Castille - 08-06-2014

Happy circumstances, then. Stupid work kept happening and shaking my train of thought, so I came back to it right as he was passing the corner and decided that a smash-cut worked best for the scene. I've got headcanon but I figured it worked better left up to the reader.

Man I sound pretentious.

You'll have to PM it to me. I'm totally counting them as canon as much as I can. Maybe I'll have Franz drag his [at least not his own] bloody arse into the Quicksand to make a chapter 3.
