I fail presents. And secrets.

[terajk]

nenena's birthday present is going to require an adventure.

Dammit.



The last time I tried to write an adventure (which was as a present for someone else), I ended up with 3,000 words of dialogue and imaginary people yelling at me to START THE DAMN STORY ALREADY because "I hate her."

But!

That story was a more fantasy-type adventure. This is a horrory adventure, which is a genre I'm more familiar with. Also, I borrowed the villains instead of making them up, because I am lazy. But their canon is really short (the sequels mostly got rid of the best character took "so bad it's good" into "just plain awful" territory. Also, what SyFy original movie?), and they could use some character development. Right before, you know, dying horribly.

Can the one even die? IDEK.

And, honestly, I should have borrowed someone else. But then I would need to read something that's, like, 1000 pages long a fantasy plot. Also, I need two villains of a very specific type. (This was a problem earlier. I was like: "Goddammit I need two of them HEY WAIT!")

I actually wanted to set the adventure where I live, so I was looking up local legends and stuff. But all I found so far was ghosts, which aren't the type of being I want.

Maybe I can send the villains to where I live? They wouldn't have to go that far and there would be tons of people for them to kill. (Including me! I am an easy target. Oh, goodness, I will give myself THE BEST DEATH im doing it man im making this hapen.) I mean, the one probably thinks this is the land of godless whores.

ETA: Actually, maybe I can use the someone else without reading 1,000 pages in way less than a month, because THERE WAS A MOVIE. (I know nenena is familiar with this dude. The other two...possibly?) I saw it years ago--in high school, orz--and really, I don't think the he was that complicated? All I remember is a friendly neighborhood force of chaos. (Prince Zuko he was not. Hell, Marvel!Loki he was not.) And then maybe I can check out a concordance?

But then, lo! I am torn! Because while that guy would be awesome, he needs a Real Damn Plot other than "and then they needed to kill some people." Also, with the other two I have an excuse to listen to one of my favorite horror movie theme songs ever.

ETA2: The theme song made my decision for me I AM SORRY nenena! I found the main title, which is cool and all, but I was thinking of the music they kill people to, so I will LOOK HARDER.

ETA3: The author wrote a screenplay and they chucked it?? *more things to look for*

In other news, this meme is still going on. (Here's Death the Kid!) I like talking about characters and listening to other people talk about them, so come play!
