Ho hum...

We stayed up all night trying to pack things, and we still didn't get it all done. XD; I finally had to lay down for a bit, and when I woke up the second time, my brother was here and he was helping get more stuff packed. Now it's evening and we're still not done. We'll be staying here again tonight. ^^;

It does make me feel relieved that YGO isn't on this Saturday, especially since the TV was packed up today, but I still want to get to watch the other shows. TMNT had a really awesome and intense episode last week where Karai officially became the next Shredder and it looked like all the Turtles and Splinter ended up dead. The one exception was Leonardo, who is still in Japan, training with The Ancient One. The latter had a vision about disaster striking, though, so Leo is on his way home.

I should try to work a bit on my Monkees plotbunny. XD It's rather disjointed at the moment, but it involves them helping some of their neighbors move and then inadvertantly discovering that they're connected somehow with Baby Face Morales (the mobster who looks like Micky). I wrote a scene last week where Micky runs into trouble after encountering the gangster a second time, and I've had the plotbunny of the Monkees either helping someone move or having a garage sale for a while now. I just recently figured out how to connect the ideas into one story.

Doppelganger character musings

Lizzie showed me a little character analysis that she's been working on for her novel. She said it's mostly for her, and it gave me the idea of making similar things for my doppelgangers. I've already done that essay for Alexander, so right now my analysises are on some of the others.


( Apollo, Daniel, Veleda )

I've also decided that doppelgangers are actually quite old, even though they look young. Veleda, for instance, was acquainted with Sigurd of Scandinavian legend. He promised to help her people if the Council ever got the upper hand, and now that they have, she is hoping that he will make good on his promise. And, since Veleda and Apollo are siblings, I've also decided that doppelgangers can have biological families. Originally I was thinking that they would be born from the hearts of their charges, but now I've been changing some things around. Now doppelgangers watch over ancestors and descendants of their charges as well, provided that they resemble the charge.
