Arrrrgh. Chapter 4 of Tabula Rasa is kicking my ass. Barely eight pages in and I've spent how long on it?
I should have more time to work tomorrow, though. And I know where to go from here. I think I'mma send Yuffie off so that Repliku can meet the fairies on his own. She can be like. Arranging his room/apartment/whatever-I'm-going-to-call-it with Aerith, and he can be standing outside the church and the fairies can try to prank him.
Oooh, oooh, prank him with changing his hair. And he can wtf for a minute and then be like "I like this color. Can I keep it?" and they can o.o and say sure and do the wiggly-finger sparkly-lights and make his hair go *POOF* permablack. Yeah, that'll work.
...It'll be much more coherent and less silly in the chapter, promise.
And then I think the chapter will be done when he crashes. Started writing his wake-up already -- I've got chapter-fragments all over the place. Sora, Kairi, Riku en route to Radiant Garden (actually, I think I already wrote their landing, briefly seeing Repliku, and getting up-to-date-ish with Leon...), Repliku's wake-up, not to mention the million and one versions of "the gang finds out/finally realizes that Repliku = Riku Replica." I've got a breakup scene in my head, as well as Seifer molesting Repliku (with permission and as the rebound, and fully aware of being the rebound). I've got Repliku's permanent housing situation written out, although the actual building itself has morphed since the original (wood+stone to cave complex back to wood+stone to adobe bricks back to wood+stone to ruins+renovation (which = wood+stone)+cave complex on the side). Also got theories written out, an attempt at an outline, some random notes, a few random scenes that may or may not make it into the final, including but not limited to: a Demyx scene, an Axel scene, a scene where we find out Vexen made more replicas, two alternate beginnings, and a crossdressing scene.
Yeeeeeeah. Which is why it was awesome that I thought up a reasonable ending. Dunno how I'm going to get there, or how long it'll take, but damn, I swear that get there I will. Eventually.
Now, to bed with me. Tomorrow's gonna be a long day, at least until I get home.
