This is a continuation of things that I babbled on about before... Vould you guess?
But I was talking about a story that I can't really finish and that's cuz I didn't like a certain part. Well I remembered another story. This one is is so close to being finished it's not funny.
However there's a part in the middle that I don't really like and there's the ending part. It just had me writhing in pain on the floor typing it. Gouging my eyes out when I reread it. Safely said it was not pretty. Both me and the story at the time.
However because it is close to being finished I'm thinking about trying to improve it. Maybe then I won't gouge out my eyes or borrow somebody elses to gouge...
But I was doin' some stuff... and then I started thinking on my rather unusual characters that are assigned to a story but the story is plotless and without any sort of framework.
However I have thought of an arch.
I have a character standing by that I can use as Sunshine and Zesty. Z is in a rather inconviencent spot...
Well the neat-o thing is that Sunshine is already part of the Seraph so I don't have to invent a new character.
But it's really interesting to draw up people by height. I scale it so that an roughly an inch and half is a foot then have my scale run up to 8 foot. I was making one for the initial crew of the Rapscallion (There use to be only four...). Well there is one race that is on the small side and this one character is short for his race anyways and he was at a tall height of 4'9" so I started labeling at 4'9" and went up a foot off that height... That was the weirdest scale I'd ever tried to draw people on.
If I get my hands on a strait edge I'll have to draw up all the heights, maybe arrange them from tallest to shortest. Or something or other...
T'would be fun cuz Sunshine I was imagining falling like an inch or two shorter than Zesty however accroding to his profile he's 7 inches shorter... It makes them standing next to eachother kinddda funny looking. Though I kindda misdrew cuz I fergot to add in Sunshine's platform boots.
But it's fun compairing heights it lets me visualize the characters better.
I was also thinking of how T'Vual could possible survive with his volital temperment. He's 4'9" and around 70lbs so He can be tossed around with ease. So I kindda invented a back story to his becoming more indestructable and how he could be defeated at the moment.
His bones are laced with metal latice working that doesn't allow the muscels or tissues to grow on it. However in a rather under thought move the metal latice work is entirely coneccted. No dampeners of any sorts. Flesh minnorly acts as an insulartor against electricity but a shock would definately kill.
However the cruelest way to kill him woulf be sound. It would be akin to tapping glass with a vibrating tuning fork. With a sound wave of a high enough frequency the latice work would vibrate in a small enough space as to not disturb the organs or tissues but shatter the bones that they're directly laced into and onto. With his structure completely distroyed the muscels and tissues would have nothing to hold them in place and inveriably sink. Since the lattice work is ridgid and well balanced it would fall over on it's own, allowing T'Vual to stay put and semi okay, it would all sink through the latice working. However his entie spinal coloumn is coated in the latice workings, creating a tubing of sorts for his nerves. Most of his nerves have been replaced with electronic and wire like materials because of a previous incident. So the nerve wouldn't snap and disconnect his body from his brain as the organs and tissues discended. He would technically die when the strain of gravity trying to pull his brain through the spinal tubing cut into essential parts of the brain.
Now could you imagine watching that? The skin would pull and stretch over the latice workings, tearing and shredding due to the roughness of the metal. The skin would split and slither down the frame work, revealing the organs as they sank to the floor, trying to pull the brain down through the spinal tubing. Ick, I can even imagine what it would sound like!!! burning_eyes
*Ahem* But yes, it would be rather disturbing to kill him in that manner and thus I've begin to invent how to prevent that.
However Sunshine decided that the doctor best suited to the job maybe an Empire spy since he's a mercinary. So even though he plans on helping T'Vual he still has to clear that the mercinary doctor is not an Empire agent that intends to make an example of T'Vual when the flagship arrives to take the Rapscallion.
As it turns out though, the doctor has a friend that is also a mercinary. Lt. Goldenstone came looking for T'Vual since he missed a training excersice that sends the two mercinaries looking for him. Sunshine doesn't have the ability to capture them both at the same time so he waits for them seraperate. However the doctor is able to revive T'Vual and he has to put him under when he starts to tell them about an Empire scout capturing him.
So safely said, two mercinaries know that the Empire is targeting the ship and their contract is almost up with the Rapscallion. If you were a mercinary doctor, traveling with an adept mechanic, scientist, medical assistant, and over all can-do guy, what would you do?
A. Flee for your life.
B. Try to make some mulah before fleeing.
C. Join the Empire and flee the Rapscallion.
D. Commit suicide.
If I told you what they decide and what side they're actually on it would kindda ruin the ending so...
I was TV the other day...
And that's about it really it.
Yup...
