A late thanksgiving note

 ‎"You know, I heard they once celebrated a day..... something about turkey and eating a lot." Ja'k muttered, kicking at the dirt. Thade smiled kindly, with a rare knowing look. "It was about thanks, and being thankful for what you have." He whispered, his voice happy as it thought about better times. Ishura scoffed. "Turkey sounds better."

WW: Affection

Thorn hissed, pushing the zombie girl back with one disdainful finger. "Get. Away. From me." Her voice was ice cold. Pia looked up, her pleading, watery eyes were lost on the rebel's blindness. "But...." Pia smiled, ducking beneath Thorn's arm she wrapped her constructed arms around the angry pirate. "I love you." 

Excr: Decaying Hopes and Dreams

The dust had long since settled on the various pews and alters of the massive cathedral that rested in the middle of the crater. Statues of the god to whom the church was meant to praise had been dismantled, smashed and their stony remains strewn about the cold, empty building. No one had used the dingy church for its intended purpose in hundreds of years. Religion had been abandoned shortly after the righteous had been ascended. After the wars that had torn apart the earth, people could no longer remember the deities that had been worshiped, nor cared to fabricate all knowing entities worth their time. Those that knew of the gods, the dancers, felt that their time was better spent blending in and avoiding contact with the celestial beings especially once the divine began sending their children out to hunt down those with a collective conscious.
Rainbow boots stepped lightly over the rubble carefully making their way to the center of the building. The rainbow girl scoffed at the destruction around her. Eyeing the broken statues, she was sure the church had once been dedicated to her mother. Underneath the decades of dirt and decay Hefru’s trained eye could still detect the once vibrant colors of the walls and ceiling.
“Churches of Joy were once such colorful places…” She sighed quietly, kicking at a piece of broken alter. Muttering about the barbaric ways of humans, the goddess picked her way towards the center. 

Excr: Apparition of a Confused Victim

Thade stared, dumbfounded at the sky as white flakes fell with grace and poise that was so alien to this world. He was uneasy because of it. Calm. Calm didn’t exist in this world. It was quiet, sound muffled by the thick flakes that coated the city. The fighting slowed to a stop as all the kids paused in their bloodthirsty endeavor to look upwards. Thade frowned, blinking the blood from his eyes as he turned from the sky to the scene before him. The sudden appearance of the soft white flakes had completely interrupted the battle that had been raging for hours. Both gangs fell into a silent truce to watch their world disappear into gray and white. The soothing white gently covered the streets, buildings, and children with tenderness akin to a mother’s love, enveloping them all in a sense of calm and clear thought. It was wrong. Such calm didn’t exist in this world. There was only Chaos. 

Concept: Pia

Once a human, living in Grace, she fell in love with Lady Logic. Logic, confused and intrigued by the emotions of humans, allowed the girl to live with her. After years of studying, the goddess found herself at a loss as the girl began to age. The goddess that had once been so confused and abrasive at emotions had grown attached, almost to the point of love. Logically, the only way to preserve her newfound complicated emotion was to immortalize the girl. Willingly, the girl so devoted allowed the goddess of Logic to place her soul into a body constructed of non-organic materials created from experiments in long-lasting flesh. Once the soul attachment was complete, Logic renamed the girl Pia. The quirky servant continued to live with Logic, but her mind was now unstable because Logic had attempted to instill her own thought and reason during the transfer. Humans are not meant to be logical, or rational. Pia began to show signs of losing her mind, talking to things and people that were not there. It seemed that the installment of god-like knowledge had simply broken her mind beyond repair. The goddess grew frustrated, but tried to help the girl more. After a long time, Pia became child-like and full of energy that seemed to never dim. Logic lost her patience and, with Theory telling her it was a good idea, sent her constructed love into the human realm to seek The Kouitchi.
A picture I have found that is what I picture her as.
I am going to try to find a different one.
 
Pia found The Kouitchi with ease and tailed the rebel leader for months. However, her mind so far gone, the poor girl soon forgot her mission and became infatuated with Thorn. Pia entered into Thorn’s ranks and soon earned the leader’s trust. She became good friends with Thade, and often told him of her feelings for Thorn, at which Thade laughed and would pat the poor girl on the head. 

Charming Context

Well, I think I'm going to start using a blog to post my story ideas, character concepts, random excerpts, and other random ramblings of my novel-in-the-works-and-probably-always-will-be Underlying Scar.  Well, here we go. 


So posts will be as such: 
Concept: (character name here) <- character Concept 
Excr: (Some Fancy Title) <-- excerpt that I've written
Word Vomit: (word or phrase)  <--  idea pertaining to certain concept 
Craziness: (number here) <-- probably some stupid conversation I've had with my characters. Or something. 
WW: (word) <-- one word entry
Oh boy, I'm so excited /sarcasm>
