parrot regretting not lighting the beacons earlier. parrot regretting not thinking about the symbolism of the beacons. parrot remembering wifies’ words, "do i have to die like him for you to believe me? for you to understand what i’m saying?" and realizing wifies was right, and having to carry that guilt while still having to fight the war. parrot not being able to process the guilt properly because he still had to fight the mafia.
First story arc over: Circus of Power, and I truly enjoyed writing this because it had set the tone for my fanfiction version of Unstable Universe
So comes my ideas dump for the second story arc, which I think will be challenging, but fulfilling to write: The Mafia & The Director arcs!
Spoilers shouldn’t actually be a problem, especially if readers are already familiar with the flow of the story. I guess what will make this enticing to read is how I would spin things and add the flavor.
It will take time though, but I am happy to pick up story writing as a hobby again.
Thoughts tossed in the air are under the cut. Read at your discretion and let’s have some fun! While keeping it within the intended ratings.
I’m riding on the premise that the villains (my protagonists) of these arcs were all playing a part of a greater conspiracy that would bring about the end of The Server (the world). So it would be interesting to dig into the psyche of how the other characters came to be….
Clown, being the seductive, power-tripping, savvy villain that he is, keeping a leash on all of his boyfriends, boy-toys, willing prisoners, and husband. And a follow through of what does he and Ferre do during their time in the Mafia
Branzy being an integral part of Wifies’ personality snap… behind the scenes. And maybe, finally using his greatest invention ever created.
An exploration of Ash’s character who used to run with the likes of MinuteTech, Clown, Leowook, when bounty hunters were a mafia of their own in the early days of The Server - but they all disappeared when someone else took over and tried to change the image of the Mafia.
It would be fun to flesh out how Ash’s poetic train of thought go against cold, lofty logic.
Despite being all villains, they seem to fare off better in terms of trusting each other to get things done than the canon UU protagonists. LoL
But I think, the most challenging dilemma would be: the intricacies of Wifies’ rise and fall as The Director… because of LSW crumbs!
I blame LSW crumbs for inspiring an entire newly path for Wifies! It’s so tempting to just change things up!!!
if you reached this far, I poll on the Fate of Wifies (I'm just curious with the thoughts of the community)
(Orikiri's smile wavers a little once Isabelle mentions that Polly's out of town, although she tries to play it cool.)
"Really? I assume I can't contact her, then. That's... unfortunate, but I can make do. Besides, I bet she has important things to do right now."
"Anyway!" (Orikiri awkwardly segways to the actually important part.) "I... hope you can help me with this. Um..."
(Orikiri quickly looks around to check if there's anybody following her or any secret cameras tracking her every move. Despite her poor attempts to seem as calm as ever, it's quite clear she's on the verge of panic.)
"It's about... the mafia thing."
