Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

NaNoWwrMo Icy's hair

NaNoWwrMo Icy's hair was frazzled. She checked her notes, possible plot lines, and charecter development tabs over and over, taking good care to save and title each document with proffessional abreviated names. Click. Click. The lovely sound that she knew as her fingers typing quickly (Speed-demon fast. If there was a such thing as a typing race, she would win it. Without looking at the keyboard.) was music to her ears, and she quietly popped up NaNoWriMo to read the email again.

Less than a week. Days. Days. Days. Days. Days. Days. Days. Days. Days. Days. Days. Days. Days. She heard it with every beat of her heart. It was time to chart out her charecters and prepare... Prep-are. Prep-are. Prep-are. Prep-are. Prep-are. PREP-ARE! PREPARE! She would not...throw..away..her..shot.

She quietly clicked her keyboard and unveiled a sketch that she would not admit to drawing. There was Sarah. Plain Sarah, with curly brown hair; Sarah that she knew. And then, her eyes widened. What if she could help the NaNo CBers out by writing out a little template for them? To help develop their charecters?

Drop the charecters into a news station, and then give them this interview by copying it in. It might help with development!

ELLE YETHRA:

1. Aren't I always? (Puzzled.)

2. Defenitly the day the greatest Pegasi in the arena was beaten...Daddy got three thousand holis...(Part of the story-don't ask xD)

3. Light green.

4. What's a.....f.r..i...e...nd...?

5. ANY day with Elizabeth. SO immature!

6. *turns serious* Actually, yes. Elizabeth-*censored for better story *

7. Roast duck with baked onions and ground leeks, a salad with chicken and ranch side...

8. The day I was born. I mean, I just didn't know if the world could handle precious moi! NOW I know though. They obviously can't .

9. MOST generous. ;)*actually, she's a pig and a spoiled brat-in the beginning, at least...*

10. I don't. I leave THAT dirty work for my father and Elizabeth.

11. Oh, alright. Goodbye, my precious minions! SeE you tomorrow! 

 

 

ELIZABETH YETHRA

1. Oh, am I? Er...is it on? So they can hear me talking. RigHT now. Oh.

2.When Mom gave me her precious black lace shawl...after Elle and I fought over it.

3. Sky blue.

4. Winter. He's a Pegasus. But shush!-No one is supposed to know that...Oh dear...

5. The day Elle stole the shawl from me. I cried over that thing for days.

6. Yeah. Elle*censored for better story*

7. Well, as partial as I am to some lovely meat every now and then, I'm more aof a veggie girl myself. Can't get enough potatoes-even if they're "peasant food."

8. When I stole the shawl back from Elle-*you get where this is going...*

9. Oh...*face flushes...* well, I guess I'm kind of sweet. Say Mom, ask Diana what's for dinner please!

10. FIne, I suppose. Father, Mother and Elle all ignore me, and I suppose you could say that technically I don't interact with "people." I talk more with Pegasi...

11. Finally....good bye.

It's The Feline of the Opera! Yaaaay! 

1. What's a 'TV'? Where am I?

2. *sighs* Seeing Eloise come into our world. 

3. Amber is a fine color. So is blue...

4. Celeste. No, wait, maybe Alexis.

5. Either my father dying, my mother abandoning me, being betrayed by Celeste, Christine falling in love with Meowule, or being attacked by dogs. Yes, I have had many bad days.

6. My mother. She abandoned me and my siblings off at some horrid orphanage. Celeste has also betrayed me by marrying some other guy, and Christine betrayed me by falling in love with another tom.

7. I dunno...

8. Well, I did like mauling Meowule...

9. I get angry easily, and if you get me mad enough, I become violent.

10. I'm antisocial and I can't hold up a conversation. I also don't feel comfortable looking people in the eye when I talk to them, so the answer is not very well.

11. Good riddance.

Oooo!! Thanks! Charries from The Princess, The Peasant, And the Prisoner.

Prince Charles:

1. Hi! You're on TV! (Reaction)

What in world is a TV? *cocks head curiosly* 

2. What's your favorite memory?

*blushes* Finding Arabella ... 

3. Favorite color?

Erm, blue. Like a navy blue. (Why haven't you told me what a TV is yet?) 

4. Best friend?

Ara. 

5. Worst day of your life.

Finding out that father didn't trust my skills as a leader. I mean, that's why the contest is happening, right? 

6. Has anyone ever betrayed you? If they have, tell us at News Station K all about it!

No ... 

7. Favorite food?

I am quite partial to chicken. 

8. Most memorable time in your life?

The day I found her.

9. How would you describe your personality?

Hopefully I'm wise, leastaways, I'm smart. I'd say that I will never back down from a challenge, and I'm a good strategist. 

10. How do you interact with other people?

I'm afraid I can be a bit too formal, but Ara says that I just don't have good people skills, so I freeze up. *frowns thoughfully* 

11. That's all the time we have now. (say goodbye in your own way!)  

*squints* Blast, what are you trying to make me say?!

Princess Arabella:

1. Hi! You're on TV! (Reaction)

A TV ... what's it like on the other end? 

2. What's your favorite memory?

*smiles softly* Dreaming over and over again of Charles, then finding that he is much nicer in real life. 

3. Favorite color?

Sky blue. 

4. Best friend?

Charles. I've spent a hundred years with him in my dreams. 

5. Worst day of your life.

*face darkens* Disreguarding my parents and running about the castle willy-nilly. I payed dearly for that.

6. Has anyone ever betrayed you? If they have, tell us at News Station K all about it!

*eyes slide to the left* No. 

7. Favorite food?

Anything with a tad bit of saffron in it. 

8. Most memorable time in your life?

Watching Charles outwit the curse. He's incrediblly smart, even if he's not that good with people. 

9. How would you describe your personality?

I'm soft-spoken, and I'm afraid Arabella tampered with my dreams too much, making me too ditzy. One can only hope that one of the others stepped in to preserve my wits. 

10. How do you interact with other people?

I treat them like my equal, no matter what their rank. 

11. That's all the time we have now. (say goodbye in your own way!)   

Oh, that's too bad. I was enjoying our little talk together. 

~~~~~ 

Prince Jacob:

1. Hi! You're on TV! (Reaction)

That's one of the hag's evil devices, isn't it? A TV, I mean. Crazy devices ...

2. What's your favorite memory?

Finding out that I had a chance to win the kingdom, or discovering Rampion. 

3. Favorite color?

Scarlet red. 

4. Best friend?

*smirks* Rampion, of course. 

5. Worst day of your life.

When I lost Rampion, my fortune, and my sight. Best day of my life. 

6. Has anyone ever betrayed you? If they have, tell us at News Station K all about it!

Eh ... not really ... 

7. Favorite food?

Well, everything tastes pretty good after having starved in the wilderness. 

8. Most memorable time in your life?

Finding a tower in the woods, with a gorgeous and witty girl at the top.

9. How would you describe your personality?

A little quirky, fun-loving, hard-worker. 

10. How do you interact with other people?

*shrugs* I talk to them, I guess. 

11. That's all the time we have now. (say goodbye in your own way!)   

Oh. Alright.

~~~~ 

Rampion: 

1. Hi! You're on TV! (Reaction)

Erm ... I'm afraid I don't know what a TV is. I've been shut off form civilazation most of my life. 

2. What's your favorite memory?

Finidng that I could *Bleep* 

3. Favorite color?

Green, Purple, and Blue. All of them dark. Hummingbird colors. 

4. Best friend?

Lauriel and Jacob. 

5. Worst day of your life.

W-when ... *breathing quickens*   

6. Has anyone ever betrayed you? If they have, tell us at News Station K all about it!

Y-yes. 

7. Favorite food?

Oh ... Pomegranete. It's quite delicious. 

8. Most memorable time in your life?

Well ... I'd have to say, discovering that there is a such thing as other people. *smiles wryly* 

9. How would you describe your personality?

I'm a very busy girl. Mother says *voice cracks, then trails off* S-sorry. I'm also fairly emotional. Like that one time the Spring nearly got Lauriel. I spent the whole day crying because I hit Spring. I wish I hadn't.

10. How do you interact with other people?

Not well? After all, I've been up in a tower most of my life ... 

11. That's all the time we have now. (say goodbye in your own way!)

Oh, I was going to show you Lauriel! A pity.

I'll do William and Elana later.

Firefly, my griffin OC. 

1. Hi! You're on TV! (Reaction)

Get your cheery face out of my beak!

2. What's your favorite memory?

None. Well, perhaps being with my mother... Before she died. 

3. Favorite color?

Us Verei don't really do favorite colors, but then, I'm not full Verei. So I'd say blue, if it makes you featherless wingless beakless unnatural things go away.

4. Best friend?

I don't have any freinds. 

5. Worst day of your life.

Every day since my mother died. 

6. Has anyone ever betrayed you? If they have, tell us at News Station K all about it!

Easy! Everyone in the whole tribe hates me! They'd all jump at a chance to betray me.

7. Favorite food?

I'm fond of hawk.  

8. Most memorable time in your life?

Memorable in a good way? My first birthday. Memorable in a bad way? When the tribe Leader cast me out.  

9. How would you describe your personality?

I just want to survive. The Verei taught me how to be strong, fast, and calculating. I'm as brittle as the North Wind, and friends will only slow me down. I'm cold, fast, sharp, and smart.

10. How do you interact with other people?

People? Do you mean Griffins? I don't unless it's neccesary. I have to strike first, and interacting with others will slow me down. Plus, they'd just shun me for being inter-tribal born. No I must stay alone. Have you got my point yet? GO AWAY.

11. That's all the time we have now. (say goodbye in your own way!)

Finally done! What was that, anyways? Are you trying to get me to open up and spill everything? Forget it. *flies off, leaving you in a cloud of dust*

This is for my main character from Dark Angels (a story that I am working on with editing/plot idea help from a few other people), named Estelle Johnson (Eh-stel-lay Jaw-n-sin)- she's a Dark Angel because something bad happened in her life-. Okay, I'll just get on to it now.

Note: My character's personality is a lot like mine, except she likes dark colors. 

 

1. Hi! You're on TV! (Reaction)

I need to get back to my mission! 

2. What's your favorite memory?

I don't remember much from my life. 

3. Favorite color?

Black or grey? I'm a Dark Angel.

4. Best friend?

I haven't met many people who I want to be friends with yet (I'm only on my second mission), so, Casey, Em, and Jake, I guess.

5. Worst day of your life.

When my parents killed me (it's probably a long story, and I don't know the details). 

6. Has anyone ever betrayed you? If they have, tell us at News Station K all about it!

My parent's were mean to me and killed me, if that counts. 

7. Favorite food?

I don't remember much from my life, as I said before, so I guess I'll say, cinnamon rolls. 

8. Most memorable time in your life?

I don't remember much from my life, as I've said a lot. 

9. How would you describe your personality?

I don't know myself much yet: I died only recently. 

10. How do you interact with other people?

When it helps me on my mission or if I need friends on my mission, I interact with people how I have to interact with them. 

11. That's all the time we have now. (say goodbye in your own way!)

Okay, I'm going to fly, but you won't see me anymore, so I'm just going to say, BYE!

Cool idea! Going to force some of my characters to do it . . . The rest of the gang will probably burst in and interrupt at random intervals because that's what they do.

O

(Yes that's her whole name) 

1. Hi! You're on TV!

If this actually airs somewhere I'm punching your face in. 

2. What's your favorite memory?

It might seem kind of... silly, but probably the day I became friends with Jay and Andrei. It was a little bit of a strange day. Don't exactly remember it clearly, but I'm pretty sure that it involved Andrei trying to juggle sausages and then Jay accidentially dropping a cooler on my head from in a tree. Maybe that's why I can't remember it so well. 

3. Favorite color?

Purple, but not that stupid lavender stuff. Really, really, dark purple.

Violet pokes head in: That's your aura, did you know? I've found most people's favorite colors tends to be their aura, so there's somethinginteresting.

*pats head indulgently* Tell me about it later, Vi.

4. Best friend?

Jay and Andrei, I guess. Even though they're totally annoying. 

Andrei, offscreen: Hey, I'm not annoying! You just mean Jay is but don't want to hurt his feelings, right?

Jay, offscreen: I feel insulted, guuuuysss.

See what I have to go through every day? 

5. Worst day of your life. 

The day my dad died.

Let's not talk about it, thanks. 

6. Has anyone ever betrayed you? If they have, tell us at News Station K all about it!  

7. Favorite food?

Little embarassing, but macaroni and cheese, the cheap boxed kind. I pretend to hate it so that Jay always gives me a lot.

Jay, offscreen: Didja say my name?

No. 

8. Most memorable time in your life?

Any time I'm running away from a demon or a possessed deer or whatever it is at that moment.

Jay: What about that one time Andrei got possessed by a demon? Remember that?

Andrei: Too well. The crazy thing was obsessed with applesauce. Forced me to eat like ten tons of the stuff. 

9. How would you describe your personality?

Me? Well, some people say that I'm too bossy, but I just try to make things work around here. It's not my fault that some idiots need a lot of... ahem, encouragement to make sure they don't get killed. 

10. How do you interact with other people?

Depends on who and when. You could say I'm (ugh) bossy, but I actually am the leader. Geez, guys, just because I'm only seventeen doesn't mean I'm not powerful or whatever all that junk is...

Paz, offscreen: You didn't actually answer the question, O.

Now Axel and Paz. They're going to do it together because they're my little cinnamon roll babies and interact so cutely.

1. Hi! You're on TV! (Reaction)

P: Cool! Hi, world! *waves at camera*

A: Oh, okay. Paz, stop waving now, that's awkward.

P: *continues waving animatedly* 

2. What's your favorite memory?

A: Probably my first day with the Crew. That was really scary, but also crazy exciting.

P: Discovering my powers! *conjures handfuls of flame, dancing around*

A: You're going to alight the whole forest! *drops to ground*

P: I can put it out at will, too, remember? *fire disappears*

3. Favorite color?

P: Red and orange and yellow. Just like fire. 

A: Light green. 

4. Best friend?

P: *points at Axel*

A: *points at Paz*

Both: This nerd! 

5. Worst day of your life.

P: Got really, really, sick when I was eight once, and we were moving camps that day. Jay carried me in a cooler full of sausages because I could hardly walk.

A: Oh, yeah, I remember that! Ha! O got so mad because the sausages "were now contaminated". For mine, maybe when Andrei was possessed by that applesauce demon. That was pretty freaky.

6. Has anyone ever betrayed you? If they have, tell us at News Station K all about it!

P: Not really. Acutally, once Axel took the last cinnamon bun that was supposed to be MINE.

A: I don't know. I feel kind of bad sometimes because I feel like Andrei and I betrayed our parents, just disappearing. Anyway, not so far but probably some day.

7. Favorite food?

P: Cinnamon buns.

A: Cinnamon rolls.

P: Isn't it the same thing?

A: NOT AT ALL. 

8. Most memorable time in your life?

A: Um, all the time? This is a weird question.

P: *makes stupid faces at the camera* 

9. How would you describe your personality?

P: Axel says I'm nosy—

A: You are.

P: —But I say curious. I like knowing things and so I go and look for things to know. If someone says something is out of bounds they'd better give me a reason for it or I'm going to find out for myself. 

A: I'm quieter than Paz, for sure. I don't like being told I'm too young to do something, and, as I've been told, quite paranoid.

10. How do you interact with other people?

P: I am the social skills MASTER. *strikes fabulous pose* I can always make everyone laugh! 

A: Little bit awkward over her, but I manage. I'm not so good with new people, but I'm mostly in contact with the same group anyway, so it's cool.

11. That's all the time we have now. (say goodbye in your own way!)

P: Byyyeeee!

A: Oh, okay. Adios.

Charecter situation!

Pick one of the following areas.

1: Mars

2: A Castle, far far away in a medival setting

3. An enchanted grove.

4. A haunted house

5. A cold, icy plain.

6. A Disney Movie setting. Pick one, if you choose this.

7. A thick forest. 

8. Santa's workshop 

Which one of these is the closest to your Charecter's area that they live in, and see every day? Okay, choose that one. Now, write that one's name down--and either delete it or throw it away. Find a situation that is crazy, and FAR away from where your charecter currently is.

Now, write!

Write a story about your charecter getting randomly dropped into one of those locations, and, while writing, try to achieve 3 or more of these goals:

1. Exploring the area around them. Show how they react to details, and what they are more prone to pay attention to. 2. Have a random charecter appear, then dissapear, or even talk to your charecter without giving much information about themself. How would your charecter react...to an elf in Santa's Workshop? A wild animal in the woods? A ghost? 3. How does your charecter react to weather, and natural disasters? None of this is necessary for your story, but it's GREAT to get to know your charecter more!

4. Have your charecter interact with the scenery at least twice. 5. How does the climate effect your charecter? 6. Is there a Mystery around them?  How inquisitive is your charecter?

And that's it! :) -Icy
