Chatterbox: Inkwell

Megan and Annie

Megan and Annie are doing a Historical Fiction story.

Rules:
1. No fighting.
2. No taking over the story.  Work it out with your partner so you can both do the story equally.
3. Keep the story PG.
4. GloWorm says to always keep to your genre, but I disagree: if you really want to, change genres.
Thank you very much! :)

@GloWorm: you left TAPM, so BellaTrix started it up again since you abandoned it with just a few adjustments to the rules. I don't see why you're so worried about who started it. Thus, as BellaTrix is now in charge of TAPM, we can make it a TAPM story if we want to. No?

@ Megan: I'm back, sorry.

No, because BellaTrix is not in charge of TAPM. You can continue your story, it is just not part of TAPM, and I expect you not to see it as such.

((YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

You're back!  I've missed you!  Now we can continue.  You just made my day even better!  Sorry I'm being scary; I'm just so happy that you're back!  On with our wonderful, beautiful, and totally fantastic story!)) 

 

Adawna had already arrived by the time Lorei showed up.  Adawna was scowling, which was unusual for her; Lorei was also scowling, which, sadly, was not unusual at all for her.  The two glared at each other, until Lorei started to shiver.  Adawna noticed this, but didn't mention it, not wanting to start off the journey with a fight.  

"We should get going," Lorei said brusquely, then turned abruptly and began to march away, not even looking behind to see if Adawna was following.  Adawna sighed and fell in behind Lorei, resigned to a journey with her worst enemy.

((Sorry I can't write more than that right now; I'm being called down to dinner.  I'll be back!

Yay, you're back!!!!))

((I'm Back!))

 

Lorei entered the clearing. Adawna was already there, glaring at her. Lorei glared right back. The Elders knew. They knew it all. And yet Lorei was stuck with a tiny, bratty, nagging, persnickety, weakling as a partner. And a bad history beetween the two. Lorei could guess why they had done it. And she knew that it wouldn't work. Something irreparable had broken. Lorei wasn't interested in weak attempts to patch up lost relationship. Shivering, she shook aside these thoughts and turned to the path.

"We should get going." she called back to Adawna, her voice harsher than she meant it to be. With an exaggerated sigh, Adawna fell in step behind her. Lorei ground her teeth. That weakling didn't even want to be here! She'd tire before the day was out.But Lorei made no mention of her thoughts as she began the trek.

((Like? No Like?))

Like!  I can't write right now, I'm too exhausted, but I'm still so excited that you're back!

Alright, let's get down to plot.

We need a catalyst- something that will give us the spark that rekindles Adawna and Lorei's friendship.  There will probably be a lot of them, but we need the original spark.  This doesn't mean that Lorei can't still be cruel and Adawna can't still hold a grudge, just that their animosity lessens a little with each passing moment spent together.  We also need to figure out what smothered their relationship, but that can come later.  So.  My ideas are: Lorei injures herself and Adawna takes care of her;  Lorei saves Adawna from being eaten, poisoned, drowned, et cetera.  Adawna is more the forgiving type, so it's Lorei we have to worry about.  The catalyst has to be shocking enough to jolt her, to make her look at the entire situation in a new way.  Give ideas/opinions.  Can't wait to get back to writing with you!

I think that Lorei should save Adawna's life and get injured in the process. Adawna takes care of her and Lorei learns to depend on her. That would give Adawna incentive to take care of her, to repay the debt. It should be some dramatic battle scene, just for fun. And Lorei isn't cruel, just mercilessly proud.

That sounds like a great plan!  Sorry about misinterperting Lorei, I didn't mean cruel as much as slightly hard-hearted.  It's great to be writing with you again!

I wonder why GloWorm takes it so personally that we'd like to keep doing TAPM things even if she's not "in charge"...

 

Sorry to invade your thread.

GloWorm, what you don't seem to grasp, is that, when you put a story or thread on TAPM, it does not belong to you. (Unless you wrote the story yourself and are displaying it for comment.) When you started TAPM, we joined because we wanted to write our own story to put on display. When you disappeared on us, BellaTrix oversaw the few of us who were left. Shocking though it may seem, life went on without you on Inkwell. Just because you keep popping in and out of TAPM, does not mean that we should base our story on haw often you get on the computer. You accepted us on TAPM, and you can't un-accept us. BellaTrix is in charge of TAPM by election. If that offended your feelings, then you shouldn't have abandoned it in the first place.
