I’m so excited to post this gift to @mindblownie as part of the wonderfulxstrange challenge. The prompt was “Something about Naido where she's her own character too, beyond just being a flesh shell for red Diane. What kind of spirit is she? Does she have a wider role or an agenda of her own? Etc.”
So I wrote a sort of origin story for Naido, which also turned out to be about her relationship with teapot!Jeffries, about healing, self-knowledge, trauma and sisterhood. I mean at least that’s what I tried to do. Other characters from the Lodges make an appearance too, and everything is very allusive and vague and chat have you, but in the end it also fills in some blanks in the mythology.
I also included some music recommendation in the notes, as an option.
I just wanted to thank you so much for that prompt, it turned out to be very inspiring and gave me a lot to think about and also material to experiment with. In the end it’s possible I got a bit caught on, and it went very weird. But it’s not a conventional character, and I felt like it called for a different kind of writing. Hopefully it’s more mysterious than unreadable ^^. And thanks so much @countdowntotwinpeaks for hosting this, I had so much fun!
BUT WAIT.
There is more. In fact, I felt a bit guilty this assignment got so weird, so... I wrote a second one in your list. It’s part of a “series” but in fact the ties between the two are very vague (still about a duo, still about friendship and hurt, with some echoes in the dialgoues), wait for it, suspense is intense, I’m going to post the other link in a second post...
