Your character is haunted by the whole thing that went down and disrupted their life. They can't tell up from down, around every corner there seems to be bad news waiting, and wherever they go, someone's eyes seem to be on them, watching their every move.
Pressure is high for your character; the decision is urgent and they are already stalling just by taking a breath. Scared to disappoint, overwhelmed, and scared of what is to come, they wish to hide away, go to sleep, and wake up without that burden upon them.
While your character certainly is being crushed by the expecations on them, they are likely not crushed enough. Pressure is high, but it needs to be higher for them to take the stand and rise to the challenge presented to them.
Lots of sneaking around, hiding away, avoiding places and people. There is whispers and letters, messages, calls, people hammering on a door, door bells ringing. Days are long and the nights where everyone is gone and live is calm again are way too short; like a blink they pass your character, leaving them in much disarray and increasingly bad mood.
Their final reason to give in and accept that this is their challenge to overcome? Who knows, but it's not happening anytime soon.
Head held high, your character marches towards destruction. Thinking they've got all they need, are prepared as best as possible, and are as talented and lucky as anyone could be, they walk straight into a fatal situation.
Unwilling to listen, they ignore patient words and calls for a more humble approach, certainly digging the hole for their own fall.
Riding on high horses is much an understatement; they just know no bounds when it comes to their pride of being the chosen one.
Soon, the trumpets serenading them will turn to laughter of the ones your character will have to best to declare victory. They are not ready to take the challenge, they are vibing to wing it.
It's almost comedic tragedy to watch them and their high nose and even higher head, but they will learn a lesson urgently soon and perhaps after that they will know to treat this challenge with the respect it deserves.
Twice fallen and thrice rising, a saying goes and certainly, your character is about to make this their credo.
lions and high heels, long dresses, dark marble, grass that is so green that is seems black at night, teeth, whiskey and knives.
There is much to say and even more to think of for your character. Luckily, they are a good listener. As reluctant as they are and as big and scary as the task at hand might look, it is clear that this is a matter of high caution and even higher planning.
Together with their trusted people, they sit down and talk about the options, their viewpoints, and generally about how each and everyone sees the matter at hand.
Careful however, you never know the full history of a chair you find on the street and that is likely the case with the people you invite into your life as well.
Someone is not being true to your character but your character is unaware and will remain so until later in the story.
For now, three younger people and three people (likely older or even dead) only the character knows and confines in know of the pending choice that is to make.
Atmosphere is calm and comfortably, they are somewhere cozy and safe, their life is still calm and somewhat unchanged, however, it's turning up like the year's worst thunderstorm out of season.
Babies, angels, dreams, and pillowcases. Golds and reds, babyblue.
