15k- I Am Obsessed With Giant Mutant Electric Squids
Hi, everyone!
So, I have a five-day weekend coming up. I just have to survive tomorrow and I'm home free. :D So I should get bunches done this weekend, as I've already done the homework assignments I've gotten thus far. I just have to write one up, which shouldn't take long at all. So I should start taking pictures for 40, finding the full house at Uni boyfriends and girlfriends (grooooooan), and I definitely ought to send Inigo and Imago to LFT once Faith gets back from class. Grr.
So speaking of Sims, I got everyone in the house ATM changed, made-over, and had them declare their majors. Faith is a History major, Knox is Philosophy like Mimi, Imp is...gah...Political Science, I think, Isla's...grrrr...something random...gahh...DAMMIT now I have to open up SimPE! *grumbles* See, this is why I ought to write this shit down. Grr.
Okay, so she's Biology. Curse you Isla. Anywayz, onwards, Ig is...DAMMIT!
...Okay then, Ig's Mathematics. Weirdo. Well that took way longer that I originally anticipated.
Anyway, my NaNo is coming along okay. I don't know quite when to start making things uber-plotty, so I'm just writing random crap for my protag to do ATM.
Haha, I realize now I've told you guys abosultely nothing about the plot of my NaNo. Well then, why don't you take a peek at the Prologue?
The world needs heroes, but only because there are villains.
For, you see, there is no need for a hero to fix the problem unless a villain causes the problem. Therefore, being a villain is a whole lot harder than being a hero. As a villain, you must always be a step ahead of a hero. You need to be able to hold entire cities hostage. You need to build doomsday machines, such as super-powered lasers and destructive robots, and you need to prepare a smug evil monologue for when you have the hero trapped.
Being a villain is no walk in the park. Villains can’t even walk in parks; it would completely destroy their reputations. Would you take a villain seriously if they went around smelling the roses? No. As a villain, you need to be setting the flowers on fire and cackling evilly. Which brings up another villain requirement: an evil laugh. Those are hard.
A villain must either be a super genius or some sort of outcast with superpowers, with an attitude of hate towards the entire world and an unimaginably dark past. So, naturally, there is a school where one learns how to be a villain.
This school, the Villain Academy, is hidden deep within a forest in a place where it is rainy near all the time. Villains can’t go around in broad daylight, after all. The Villain Academy’s rainy, cold atmosphere allows for a constant backdrop to evil plotting. The building itself is architecture gone bad, with tall, unsteady-looking turrets, small windows, and cold, stone walls. The school is a boarding school; it’s said being separated from one’s family instills the necessary hatred in a young villain.
The school accepts all grade levels; it’s like any normal boarding school, only evil. It’s co-ed, with dorms for boys and girls, and classes taught by the finest ex-villains looking for a more peaceful job for their golden years.
Heroes, unknowing that the Villain Academy is the only thing keeping them in business, have tried numerous times to attack and destroy the school, but have always failed. After all, it is a school of villains; the heroes always vastly underestimated the Academy.
But now, they’re sure they have the perfect plan to get rid of the Villain Academy once and for all.
So that's my idea, a school for villains. You may applaud. xD
So anyway, I've taken great care to give all my characters names that pertain to their personalities/powers/etcetera. So here're the names I chose.
My protag is Torianne, nicnamed Tori, but the meaning's the same.
Then the kids at the Villain Academy, who are the other main characters, are Angara (aka Angie), Gemelle and Tamsyn (twinz), Altair, and Rune. Coolness, right?
Also, I managed to work in both MCR references AND 24 references into my NaNo. And what have YOU done today?
