Avanna at a party~

I would most likely be with my group of friends but closer to the exit. I'm not much of a party animal as I prefer the quieter music of the natural night. But that won't stop me from singing all the songs and hogging the karaoke machine. I wonder if the DJ takes requests, I hope we can listen to Only Time!

Tundra: I would be DJ'ing. Obviously. Of course, if I had a choice, I wouldn't be there in the first place.

Ry: What's a party?

Jubilee: "Being one who sneaks out to go to parties, I can say every party is different. If it's just a random let's have fun party I'd typically be seen hanging out with either the rebel girls or some cute boys. Prom night or grad day I typically hang around the people in my year."

Question: When you meet a new person, how do you first react?

Layla: "I usually decide on their species of origin. Most Elder races have a humanoid form, but their scent and the look in their eyes give them away. Then I decide whether or not they are going to be a threat. I can't afford to be incautious."

[Her eyes gleam dangerously, smoke drifting from her nostrils.]

Eva:
New person
"I watch and listen.If person is friendly he/she usually talks first.If not?Then I try to be friendly."
Greatest influence
"The greatest influence? I guess my sis'.Defenitely my sister.*whispers*:You won't tell her this, would you?"
(Smiles)
Greatest fear:
"Total silence scares me to death. You know this moments when nothing sounds.Or better say Nothing can be heard. It's always a preamble to something.Usually not very pleasant"
Party
"I try to avoid parties. They are too loud and too boring. But if I happen to be there then I'm trying to dissolve in a croud. Just not to look white crow.(giggles nervously)"
@scorch_cloud222 Arr I've missed so many questions:'(

@scorch_cloud222

Nightmare: I haven't met many people, and I'm not keen on meeting more. They're irrelevant to me. If you mean *s when you say people, then rephrase your question. *s are not people because they do not act like people. If I meet a *, it will probably be trying to capture me. Then, I will torture it and escape. In the unlikely event I meet a * who is not trying to harm me, I will ignore it.

If I ever meet someone who appears to have significance... I don't know what I'd do. I doubt that would happen, but if so, I suppose I would observe him or her and hope that the person would not be plotting something.

Note: * does not stand for a curse word. I don't want to post specific terminology for the story to protect my anonymity on this site once I finish my novel and get it published. The * stands for a term used for a specific group of people in the story.

"dont tell me that im just rude"

@Kiryko

Feel free to answer the questions you missed. This exercise is to help writers, so do whatever you think will help you most. 😊

iceiceice • 3 February 2015 at 8:42 PM

"Here's the thing," [points accusingly] "most people tend to do stupid things when they meet new people. I don't like to waste my time, and I'm sure you don't want to waste yours. Make a good first impression. That's going to be my lasting impression of you. Chances are, I probably don't want to deal with you."

Jubilee:

"When it comes to new people. I'm super antisocial. They have to find a way to impress, please, or make me happy, and then they'll be sort of accepted. Honestly, it takes a lot to fit into my standards. People like me, which is why I have a few friends, I'm not very fond of people, which is why I only have a few friends." [Her phone vibrates and she pulls it out to tell her friend she's busy.]

Avanna~
Well... I'm normally shy so I tend to let them do all the talking but sometimes when we find a common interest things normally can go well. I normally get to meet a new friend once every few months and it can be quite fun!

@rushingwater
Have you seen this question yet?

Exon

"Urrr, I'm proably not the first to react when I meet someone new. The frst thing someone had probally said was 'What a you?'" [Looks a devil]

@scorch_cloud222

Cassius:

"Well, usually I try to see what kind of person they could be by looking at them. Ones who seem to be average, optimistic, or more like me will have a warmer welcome from me than ones who seem to be dark, dangerous, or more like BJ. *shudders* Ugh! I cannot stand that man!"

(I think I"ll add him too. Sorry for not saying anything until now.)

Name: BJ (BeetleJuice)

@scorch_cloud222

can i add another character?

Name: Zevi Lyemore
Gender: Female
Species: She's a demon in the form of an elf. She hides her demonic form unless really angry.
Age: She is 19 in human years, and she doesn't care about age a lot.
Zevi is a demon who lived in Crystalmant Town, until she was being hunted. She wears a white tank top, and has an eyepatch on the left eye (every single character i see in an anime or webcomic has an eyepatch on the left eye argh) after something stranged occur. When provoked, she gets demon-like wings, and a blue tail. She still retains her non-provoked self. She wears white short jeans, and has lived for a long time that life lost meaning to her. That's all about her as far as I can tell.

Mah gemstone... A Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald.

Sorry, everybody! I completely forgot about this! Feel free to smack me if I take too long next time.

Also, anyone can play as many characters as you like. As I said, do whatever benefits you the most in your writing efforts! 😊

Question: If someone stole something from your character, how would he or she react?

Layla: "I would get it back, and reek my vengeance with fire and the tooth and claw!! No one steals from a dragon's hoard!"

lykhaos117 • 20 February 2015 at 8:51 PM

@scorch_cloud

I forgive you! You're too nice to be mad at. 😊

Nightmare: I don't have anything that could be stolen. Everything's gone already.

Zevi:
"Who said anybody can take things from me? I'd chase after them and force them to give me back my things!" She gets her blue katana out of her back, realizing it's gone. "Like I said..."

Dave:
ahahaha
i wont let anybody steal my stuff
nobody can outrun the knight of time

Eva: "Again?Am I look so vulnerable?I'll find *takes a deep breath* this person and MAKE him return every piece of whatever he stole from me.And then I MAYBE forgive him.Not sure if I would *smiles*"

scorch_cloud222 • 21 February 2015 at 8:02 PM

@lykhaos117

Aww, that's sweet of you. ❤️

If anyone is interested, I'm considering doing a Villain Builder thread next. 😊

lykhaos117 • 21 February 2015 at 8:05 PM

@scorch_cloud222

I'm interested! I'd love to participate in your Villain Builder thread, too! ❤️ I have more characters I'd like you to meet. 😸

Also, if you don't mind telling me, what do you think of Nightmare so far?

scorch_cloud222 • 22 February 2015 at 11:01 AM

@lykhaos117

He has strong anti-hero vibes, but you give a clear picture that he has secretly noble intentions. Is he your protagonist? Even if not, I would heartily recommend you give him some sympathetic qualities that allow readers to identify with him. Even the strongest character should have insecurities or areas of pain or sensitivity.

Remember that very few to none believe that they are the villain of their story, even when they are. In a good story, even perfect evil has imperfections.

Hope I helped, and feel free to ignore any advice that anyone gives you about your story, once you've thoroughly mulled it over. xD

@scorch_cloud222 sorry for not responding! I was on vacation.

Jubilee:

*Her eyes light up with anger* "Ok first of all, nobody is going to get to my belongings without first going through extensive insults and maybe a punch or two to the face." *She calms down a bit.* "If they did manage to steal something, I would relentlessly chase them down, force them to give it back, and never speak to them again." She looks you in the eye with a forceful look.* "You didn't steal anything from me did you?"

iceiceice • 22 February 2015 at 1:31 PM

"What an impudent being!"

"If it is a trivial item that has been stolen, there is no reason to dwell to much over it."

"Stealing something important?"

[A memory seem to resurface]

"Insolent! Disrespectful! Dishonorable!"

[With every word, he pounded on the desk]

"Hrrmph!"

Lol. I've thought of creating a topic like this for a long time. Glad to know someone thinks just like me. 😊

Are entries still closed?

scorch_cloud222 • 23 February 2015 at 11:05 AM

@dada_dragon

This thread is closed for entries, yes. Would you be interested in a villain builder thread? That is the next writing exercise thread I am planning to create.

dada_dragon • 23 February 2015 at 3:06 PM

Sure! Ping me when you've created it!
