Not allowed to call it mediocre if it gave me nightmares! :( Possibly because I could recognize enough people to make the whole thing so much more vivid and real.
Thank you~ I've done some preliminary sketches on the school uniforms so far, but those will go through a lot of revision to keep them from looking too much like SH's. That would just be cheating~
Busy, mostly. But I bought a new pair of shoes! I know you have that look on your face, but don't worry. I've been very good! I deserve new shoes. Plus, they were on sale and further discounted due to employee discount~ There's a dress I might pick up in a few days that is going to go on sale, and it's so pretty.

I attached the permission form. Fifty percent of total grade, huh. I'm not sure my book has enough characters to draw costumes for. Add splatters of blood for Heckle's tattered uniform.

You are the best! Oh, I think I'll have enough. Most of the work is through the sketches, not the actual costumes (I think we only need three at most), and the uniforms will add in a degree of difficulty of seperating each character in terms of personality using the same basic template. But I did spend three years of watching people individualize their same basic outfits, so I should be fine~ Add in the bloodstained and dead outfits, and what they would wear when out of uniforms ...
I believe I have enough to work with. In a way, this is a lot harder the an the people doing all the fantasy and science fiction outfits. They have to be out there and creative! I can be subtle.
You didn't know? Yes, at Marks & Spencers, in the women's clothing department. Mostly spend my day giving advice and help to women shopping~

It does! If it doesn't, I'll find a way to make it work. I'm good at that. :)
Full-time, actually. Sleeping is overrated~
What sort of book is it? What are you doing otherwise? Maybe take a vacation and go somewhere beautiful to write? Or creepy, if it's like the first one. Creepy might work better at inspiring instead of beautiful.

So I have money? Independence! And ... other stuff like that. Apartments are expensive and my scholarship only covers tuition :(
Well, that sounds like a good start to me. Characters are the most important parts of books, aren't they? Speaking as one who doesn't write or read that often, but I've read enough to figure that out~

You're in a scholarship program. Ah; I guess this means your family no longer finance you? - I'm sorry if that was an insensitive question. Just ignore it if it is.
He's just sitting around and doing mundane things in my head. I'm writing down his thoughts. This might never be enough for a book.

That's one way of putting it. Another way is that Helios is paying for it, but officially through the fashion part of the whatever-it-is his dad runs. I have to work for him when I graduate, but I don't see much of a problem with that idea for obvious reasons.
I haven't talked to them in years. Not that I talked to them much after I started Second Heaven, and that was nearly ten years ago.
From: Amata Soto To: Yuu Reeves Date: September 29 10:21 Subject: Re: School Assignment
I'd be more impressed if it wasn't Helios. Well, no. He's a sweetheart and being all supportive in his often-not-always supportive way, but that's just Helios being Helios and I am often sarcastic back. As always.
Ten years. Well, eight years. Too many years! We need to stop time!

You talked to him? We started talking again at the interview for the scholarship, actually. I had no idea he was going to be there, and I still think he should've warned me before that.
Yes we do! Before it does reach then years, and and I don't want to be old. :(

I mean, yeah, of course. I'll fill out the permission statement and send it back in a bit.
I'm well. Had a job in Gray's company. Published a book. A mediocre one, as you can see. How have you been?

No, no I don't. I just didn't think you'll take a part-time job while still in school. It's ... not really your style.
I am; it's not going so well. I don't have too much time to write.

I'm not sure, actually. I've only had a character and his thoughts to base upon. I don't know where I want to take it yet.
Otherwise, I'm a common full-time salaryman. I still play basketball and go to used record stores. Nothing much changes.
Yuu.

Ten years. When did we get so old? :(!

Oh. Last time I asked him about you he said he had no idea. Of course, that was more than a year ago.
No, we don't.
Not quite there yet. He probably just slices them up. If he's insane.
